00:00.54Cyorxamphang on, isn't that the same bloody file?
00:01.15Cyorxampshould I be using 3.5.4.1. on a Sl-5500 ?
00:02.07CoreDump|afkthe do-not-use stuff should work just fine
00:02.27Cyorxampwell ive flashed it 3 times and it just hangs at the logo
00:03.19Cyorxamphentges-gpe-image-collie_T1-RC1.tar.gz  right?
00:03.24lindenleCyorxamp: did you ever flash back to original rom?
00:03.33Cyorxamplindenle, yup
00:03.40Cyorxampthat works fine
00:03.43lindenlek, sorry not following too close
00:03.51lindenleand before i di that my Z acted extremely strange
00:03.59lindenlewith OZ
00:04.05Cyorxampthe Z always acts strange
00:04.13lindenlenot  mine ;)
00:04.16hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: try flashing a bootstrap image to see if that even works
00:04.34lindenlecould it be bad hardware
00:04.41lindenleor does it work with default rom
00:04.52Cyorxampworks with the original rom fine
00:05.02lindenlek
00:05.05Cyorxampit's just OZ... never ever worked properly
00:05.19CoreDump|afkhvontres|poodle: give me a /tell when he gets too annoying again
00:05.50CyorxampCoreDump|afk, yes because being the creator of this mess you couldn't possibly know what the hell is wrong with it
00:05.53Cyorxampgo back to sleep :{P
00:06.01Cyorxampo_O I gave myself a tash
00:07.14hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: how long did you let the Z sit at the logo? Irc, the first boot can take a while
00:07.30Cyorxampi gave it a couple of minutes
00:07.43Cyorxampnormally it just fires straight up asking for an altboot password
00:08.10Cyorxampyou see i've done all this bit ok before... all the menus and whatnot for using the SD but it never works - now it works even less
00:08.30hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: Which SD card do you have?
00:08.44Cyorxamperr its a samsung I think... a 512mb
00:08.54Cyorxampit's the blue one :P
00:09.00lindenledid you check the md5 sums before flashing?
00:09.14Cyorxampnope, but I have been thinking perhaps I should have
00:09.22Cyorxampthe hentges site is dreadfully slow
00:09.37hvontres|poodlewrong side of a DSL link :)
00:10.04Cyorxampi think i've downloaded like 6 files now
00:10.16kantlivelon1so does SNES work on Z?
00:10.18Cyorxampboth do_not_use ones and the others
00:10.20CyorxampGPE
00:10.35CoreDump|afkhentges.net has a pretty good uplink, peaks at 2.5Mega*Byte*/sec
00:10.55Cyorxampi've got 29kb/sec on ur files
00:11.19CoreDump|afksomething in between is causing that then. Server is in germany
00:11.20Cyorxampand i'm an impatient fucker at 1am
00:11.26hvontres|poodleopps, my bad...I thought you were stuck behind a 128 KBps DSL
00:11.38Cyorxamphvontres|poodle this line is 8mbps
00:11.52hvontres|poodleno, I meant hentges.net
00:11.56Cyorxampoh
00:11.57CoreDump|afkhvontres|poodle: I am, the server is not =)
00:12.18Cyorxampok, can i list the files i have so far CoreDump|afk?
00:12.19hvontres|poodleahh...I see, so just updating the server is hell then :)
00:12.22Cyorxampthat is, if ur not sleeping now
00:12.27Cyorxampand your onboard with helping
00:12.37Cyorxampyou'll have my eternal begging and apologies if it works :P
00:12.47CoreDump|afkhvontres|poodle: indeed :\
00:12.58CoreDump|afkwell, post aways

00:13.20Cyorxamphentges-gpe-image-collie_T1.tar.gz
00:13.42Cyorxampand it all looks as confusing as fuck... oh and i also have OSPACK (just incase)
00:14.01CyorxampCF at the ready and a blank ext2 formatted SD card at the ready
00:15.09CoreDump|afkextract initrd.bin from hentges-gpe-image-collie_T1-RC1.tar.gz and flash away
00:15.20Cyorxampshould I md5 sum check first?
00:15.49kantlivelon1does jre work on GPE?
00:16.00CoreDump|afkcan't hurt, but the tar.gz compression should -in theory - prevent anyone from extracting damaged files
00:16.10Cyorxampok well bugger it then
00:16.14Cyorxampcant find the md5 tool anyways
00:16.25kantlivelon1Cyorxamp: md5sum??
00:16.27CoreDump|afkhvontres|poodle: http://hentges.net/tmp/screenshots/mhcln03/Bildschirmfoto-3.jpg ;)
00:16.30Cyorxampyeah that fucker
00:16.49Cyorxampoh and I need zImage on there too right?
00:16.55Cyorxamp64-0 variety I have
00:17.05CoreDump|afkyep
00:17.11Cyorxampshould I md5sum check that?
00:17.15Cyorxampits 891kb
00:17.50CoreDump|afkyeah
00:17.55Cyorxampok initrd.bin and zimage on the CF... should I put one of the bins on there?
00:18.32Cyorxamplike cardfs-gpe-collie-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.1-gpe2.7-T1-RC1.bin ?
00:18.59hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: CoreDump|afk: phhhhtppppp :)
00:19.14CoreDump|afkCyorxamp: that, too yes
00:19.28CyorxampCoreDump|afk, ok while flashing should i have the sd in or not?
00:19.39CoreDump|afkdoesn't matter
00:19.50Cyorxampok flashing...
00:19.58Cyorxampthis is the exact setup I did before
00:20.00lindenlegood luck!!!!
00:20.42lindenleIMHO OZ rocks!!
00:21.04Cyorxampi hope whatever ends up on here works with my wifi adapter like the original one originally did before it had a fit
00:21.14Cyorxampi reeeeeeally hate inexplicable problems
00:22.07lindenleagreed
00:22.20CyorxampCoreDump|afk, i wait till the lights go off... press the reset button again, turn back to normal battery mode, then turn it on - right?
00:22.21hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: do you have a cf to pcmcia adapter and a laptop to see it the card isn't buggerd?
00:22.40Cyorxamphvontres|poodle, i can try this using another CF card
00:22.48Cyorxampbut no... not got a PCMCIA adapter
00:23.04hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: no, I meant the wlan card
00:23.21Cyorxampok the OZ logo is up - i'm timing it
00:23.31Cyorxamphvontres|poodle, oh... well no pcmcia anyways
00:23.38Cyorxampso theres no other way of testing it
00:24.02Cyorxamp50 seconds
00:24.05hvontres|poodleany buddies with ipaqs or something of that ilk?
00:24.30Cyorxampnope
00:24.42Cyorxamp1:30 minutes
00:25.09Cyorxampnormally it asks me for an altboot password about now - surely?
00:25.32Cyorxamp2:30
00:26.01CyorxampCoreDump|afk, any ideas?
00:26.32CoreDump|afknot really and my collie is not with me ATM
00:28.00hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: did you try removing both the cf and the sd cards?
00:28.10Cyorxampremoving them?
00:28.16Cyorxampno both sd and cf are in atm
00:28.34Cyorxampthis will solve it
00:28.40Cyorxampi remember doing something like this last time
00:29.06hvontres|poodleremove cards, reboot, see if it comes up, tell it not to look for cardfs, shut down, insert cards, restart...
00:29.07Cyorxampnoep maybe not - wishful thinking
00:29.24Cyorxamphvontres|poodle, it aint even getting past showin the OZ logo
00:29.31Cyorxamptheres buggery else on the screen
00:30.02hvontres|poodleget dinner, come back to see if something hapend???
00:30.19Cyorxampits 1:30am
00:31.39Cyorxampwell the md5 checks out on the do_not_use init thingy and the cardfs bin file
00:31.44Cyorxampmaybe the zImage is fucked
00:31.55Cyorxampanyone got a link to get that from?

00:36.52hvontres|poodlecause fat 32 won't work ...:)
00:37.25Cyorxampwell if it is fat32 (unlikely) then its worked enough to give me the OZ logo hasn't it?
00:37.49hvontres|poodlehmmmm. true...
00:38.09kantlivelongsniffles.. i get sad when i see finalfantasy7
00:39.41hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: When was the last time you had the original sharp rom on there?
00:39.43Cyorxampmight have an idea what could be wrong
00:39.55Cyorxamphvontres|poodle, maybe an hour or so ago - worked fine
00:40.46hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: So what is your latest diagnosis?
00:41.07Cyorxampmy button on the back being at the wrong position
00:41.14Cyorxampthe replace battery switch
00:41.26Cyorxampdoing it properly paying close attention now
00:41.26hvontres|poodleDOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
00:41.48Cyorxampcover is off... replace battery is ON... reflashing
00:42.05Cyorxampwhen its done i'll press full reset , put cover back on and flip switch
00:42.10Cyorxampthen turn on.... right?
00:42.29hvontres|poodleI think so....I have only done poodle so far.
00:42.39Cyorxampok i see oz logo
00:42.51Cyorxampand again... nada
00:42.57hvontres|poodledoes collie show progress indicator while flashing?
00:43.04Cyorxampnope
00:43.23Cyorxampjust the mail light goes green while its doing it
00:43.42hvontres|poodlehmmm, too bad. the poodle tells you what it is doing.
00:43.59Cyorxampok im sick of this - i'd try a normal OZ image if the site was up
00:44.05hvontres|poodleI think your initrd might not be flashing correctly.
00:44.20Cyorxampinitrd.bin ?
00:44.31Cyorxampwell the md5 sum is fine
00:45.05hvontres|poodlewhich updater.sh are you using?
00:45.15Cyorxampwhich who what where when how?
00:45.34hvontres|poodleon the cf card, there should be a file called updater.sh
00:45.39Cyorxampnope
00:46.03Cyorxamptheres initrd.bin, zImage, and cardfs-gpe-collie-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.1-gpe2.7-T1-RC1.bin
00:46.24Cyorxampnever heard of a updater.sh
00:47.30Cyorxampgonna try the normal OZ bootstrap image
00:48.08Cyorxampactually I have another collie here i can try things on too
00:48.28Cyorxampwill try what I just did on this one... on that one
00:49.24hvontres|poodlethe wiki is still up: http://openzaurus.berlios.de/Collie/Install

00:54.28hvontres|poodlebut you need to get at least the bootstrap image to work first...otherwise no altboot
00:54.41Cyorxampwell bootstrap has altboot
00:54.46Cyorxampso i'll try flashing that now
00:56.13Cyorxampi like having collies strune about the place
00:56.20Cyorxampit's like janeways desk covered in PADDs
00:56.26agaffneyhah
00:56.45agaffneyexcept the Collie is more functional than the PADDs :P
00:56.57Cyorxampok flashing
00:57.09agaffneyI've only ever seen 2 interactive PADDs in all the ST series
00:57.20Cyorxampagaffney, yeah a bit of cardboard, a bulb and some transparent coloured plastic
00:57.43Cyorxampi wanna know how they type messages on them

01:09.50agaffneythere are a *lot* of APs around my apartment
01:09.51kantlivelongits evil..
01:09.57agaffneyI took the collie on a walk
01:10.00summatusmentismy 5500 is really terrible at scanning, but then again, it's terrible at a lot of things, because of hardware constraints
01:10.03kantlivelongagaffney: same here... around 50
01:10.03agaffneyit froze up after ~10 minutes
01:10.23kantlivelongso what card would u guys recommend?
01:11.01summatusmentisMy spectrum24 works well
01:11.09kantlivelongsummatusmentis: for cracking?
01:11.16summatusmentisalthough I don't do any of that stuff
01:11.21summatusmentisbut for wifi it's solid
01:11.36kantlivelonghmm
01:13.13summatusmentiswhat kind of stuff do you need?
01:13.59kantlivelongsummatusmentis: B and injection support would be nice
01:14.32summatusmentismmmm....
01:14.42summatusmentisare you still looking at PCMCIA?
01:15.38kantlivelongsummatusmentis: CF is fine
01:16.16summatusmentiswhen I was looking at purchasing a wifi card, I wasn't looking for injection, just compatability, so I don't really know
01:16.40kantlivelongah ok
01:17.02summatusmentisbut search around
01:17.26summatusmentisthe linksys are supposed to work, the symbol spectrum24s work
01:17.39Cyorxampok.... ive got further now
01:17.52Cyorxampive just put the filesystem on my ext2 SD card
01:17.55summatusmentisI think netgear works(certain models), and the SanDisk wifi/128MB storage works, but only for one of the options
01:17.58Cyorxampand told altboot to boot the SD
01:18.12CyorxampNo INIT found on target
01:18.23CyorxampNo boot-images found in .... blah blah blah
01:18.29CyorxampERROR nothing to do
01:18.35Cyorxampso what should -I- do ?
01:18.55Cyorxampshould I set the ext2 partition on the SD card as a bootable one?
01:19.25agaffneyCyorxamp: when I did my loopback install on SD, I had to create the loopback with my laptop and a card reader
01:19.43agaffneybecause I kept getting weird errors when I created it from altboot
01:19.48agaffneyI/O errors and such
01:19.56agaffneyas loopback or ext2 directly on the card
01:19.58Cyorxampyour talking in riddles
01:20.05Cyorxampi dont have a fucking clue what you mean
01:20.08agaffneybut it worked fine when I created the image with my laptop
01:20.15Cyorxampyet you continue to talk, i hate you
01:20.24agaffneyo_O
01:20.39Cyorxampi hate everyone, don't take offense by it
01:20.42summatusmentisCyorxamp, what did you put on your SD?
01:20.53Cyorxampthe contents of hentges-gpe-image-collie_T1-3.5.4.1-rc4-collie.rootfs.tar

01:26.59Cyorxamponly 'boot'
01:27.01Cyorxampis that the problem?
01:27.05JustinPCyorxamp: no
01:27.12JustinPCyorxamp: altboot can also boot a loopback image
01:27.24Cyorxampwell what on earth is wrong with this then?>
01:27.25JustinPCyorxamp: did you try having altboot create a loopback image on your card?
01:27.36kantlivelongwill type 1 CFs work in a type 2 slot?
01:27.40JustinPCyorxamp: do you have an sbin/init on your card?
01:27.46CyorxampJustinP, yeah ages ago and it never bloody works
01:27.46JustinPCyorxamp: is it executable?
01:27.56JustinPkantlivelong: yes
01:28.05kantlivelongJustinP: ty
01:28.50Cyorxamphmm is it me or did file-roller copy bugegr all
01:28.56Cyorxampthis is madness
01:30.15Cyorxampok... what things need to be executable JustinP?
01:30.28Cyorxampall i've done is copy the files to the ext2 SD card
01:30.47Cyorxampull have to remind me which command to use as well cuz i forgot :P
01:30.53JustinPCyorxamp: I don't know anything about "file-roller"
01:31.00JustinPCyorxamp: I suggest you try "tar"
01:31.04Cyorxampu dont need to... that bit is done
01:31.07agaffneyfile-roller is the gnome archiving app, iirc
01:31.09Cyorxampmove on... :P
01:31.39JustinPCyorxamp: I can't just tell you what files need to be executable. It's a *lot* and it's in the tarball.
01:32.02Cyorxampoh ffs
01:32.56Cyorxampok the SD is empty again now
01:33.05Cyorxampi'll let the zaurus fill it
01:36.27agaffneythat's what I was saying before doesn't work right from the latest OZ and hentges images
01:36.37agaffneyat least on collie
01:37.04agaffneyaltboot messes up creating the ext2 filesystem directly on the card and the loopback filesystem
01:37.05Cyorxampoh ffs thats not working now
01:37.10agaffneyyou get I/O errors and such
01:37.13Cyorxampyeah it does
01:37.34agaffneybut it worked fine for me when I created my loopback image from my linux laptop using a card reader
01:37.50Cyorxampwell i dont want a loopback image
01:37.54Cyorxampi want a direct install
01:38.06agaffneyyou can do a direct install that way, too :P
01:38.06Cyorxampi dont even know how the fuck the loopback supposed to work
01:38.20Cyorxampagaffney, are you blind?  i've been trying that for hours
01:38.32CyorxampJustinP, just told me that i need to have some of them as executables
01:38.39agaffneyapparently not correctly ;)
01:38.44CyorxampBUT! in magical wisdom doesnt know which ones
01:38.53agaffneyif some of them aren't executable, the tarball is messed up or you're extracting it wrong
01:39.02agaffneyhe didn't say he didn't know
01:39.07agaffneyhe said there are a *lot* of them
01:39.25Cyorxampwell it extracts fine from file-roller so i dont know why he even mentioned it
01:39.40Cyorxamplook i just want this fucker working
01:39.58Cyorxampi've been trying for like a month now - this is getting old
01:40.38*** join/#openzaurus wayne (n=laurent@laurent.ca)
01:40.38agaffneyif none of the files are executable, then it's not extracting fine from file roller
01:40.45agaffneyuse `tar` by hand
01:40.46Cyorxampwell I presume they were!
01:40.57JustinPCyorxamp: stop presuming and look at it
01:40.58Cyorxampdoesnt matter now the SD is empty again
01:41.09Cyorxampand direct install failed
01:41.22agaffneyyes, I told you it would fail
01:41.31agaffneyit failed on mine
01:41.32Cyorxampwell WHY!
01:41.36CyorxampWHY does the fucker fail?
01:41.37agaffneyand it failed on someone else's collie
01:41.46Cyorxampive got 2 collies here and it does the same on both
01:41.57agaffneybecause there's something subtly broken in the images :P
01:42.09agaffneyperhaps it's mke2fs
01:42.12agaffneydunno
01:42.18agaffneyI haven't looked too far into it
01:42.49Cyorxamploopback image making fails too
01:42.49Cyorxampit just comes back saying FAILED!
01:42.49agaffneyyes, I told you that as well
01:42.57Cyorxampwell I have tried both methods - so thats it?
01:43.04Cyorxampits fucked? never gonna work? is that the idea?
01:43.45agaffneyyou've already been told how to do it
01:43.52Cyorxampno i have not
01:43.56agaffneyuse a regular computer and `tar`
01:44.04Cyorxamphow the hell do u use tar!
01:44.08agaffney...
01:44.20agaffneyman tar
01:44.36Cyorxampwhat command does the zaurus try and use?
01:44.49agaffneytar usage is typically considered among basic *nix knowledge
01:45.01agaffneydon't piss and moan...learn
01:45.03JustinPCyorxamp: you have been told numerous times by the very patient agaffney that it works fine if you set up your loopback image on your linux desktop/laptop
01:45.26Cyorxamptar -xzf   source  -C   destination
01:45.28Cyorxampright
01:45.34agaffneyindeed, I've only tried the loopback method that way
01:45.40agaffneynever direct to filesystem
01:45.45agaffneybut it shouldn't make a difference
01:46.06JustinPloopback is generally what "we" use anyway, so I would be surprised if non-loopback failed in some strange way
01:46.11Cyorxampok well this aint a tar.gz its just the tar
01:46.15Cyorxampwhats the command for that?
01:46.23JustinPget rid of the z
01:46.26Cyorxampk
01:46.28JustinPagain, "man tar"
01:46.34JustinPyou can figure this out yourself
01:46.48Cyorxampok place ur bets on paypal.com
01:46.50agaffneyand why is it just a .tar?
01:46.55Cyorxampthis wont fucking work.... u watch!
01:47.33CyorxampI WIN!
01:47.37Cyorxamppay up!
01:47.49Cyorxampexactly the same god damn message
01:48.04Cyorxamptheres nothing wrong with file-roller... probably uses fucking tar anyway
01:48.05agaffneywhere did you get the .tar file? iirc, the file on the mirrors is .tar.gz
01:48.22Cyorxampi extracted the tar from the .tar.gz using 7zip on windows
01:48.34agaffney...
01:48.38agaffneywhy?
01:49.00Cyorxampbecause it was downloaded on my windows box and shared via my samba share to my linux box
01:49.10Cyorxampso while i was there i extracted the tar to share
01:49.11agaffneyaltboot is failing to create your image because you don't have the proper file
01:49.18agaffneyit looks for something named *rootfs.tar.gz
01:49.22Cyorxampno the .tar.gz is on the CF card
01:49.23Cyorxampjeez
01:49.23agaffneyto create the filesystem
01:49.35Cyorxampthis is just the file I am using to untar on my linux box
01:49.39Cyorxampget a grip
01:49.40agaffneyuse the original .tar.gz
01:49.40JustinPCyorxamp: did you create a *loopback image*?
01:49.54CyorxampJustinP, someone has yet to explain what the hell one of those is
01:50.22Cyorxampok im mkfs'ing again
01:50.30Cyorxampthen i'll re untar
01:51.03JustinPCyorxamp: you need to ask to learn. If you continue to act immaturely I doubt you'll get any help at all.
01:51.25Cyorxampvery nice... go cower away from the problem
01:51.37agaffneyit's your problem, not mine

01:52.39Cyorxampwe have tried everything asked of me and it still dont work
01:52.45kantlivelongCyorxamp: you obviously have no clue..
01:53.30kantlivelongCyorxamp: ur whining about something as simple as tar.. go RTFM
01:53.38CyorxampTAR works fine
01:53.50CyorxampEVERYTHING has been done according to INSTRUCTIONS (or lack thereof)
01:54.02Cyorxampand yet funny isn't it how it still DOES NOT WORK
01:54.14kantlivelongCyorxamp: then your doing something wrong
01:54.34Cyorxampno im not... we have been over this a dozen times already
01:54.45kantlivelongCyorxamp: then give up
01:56.09Cyorxampok JustinP, kantlivelong, agaffney.... i have used the .tar.gz this time
01:56.19Cyorxampwho's betting it wont make fuck all difference?

02:23.26Cyorxampi.e. tar ?

02:27.52Cyorxampbollox to this i'll write coredump an email
02:27.59summatusmentisCyorxamp, http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/docs/altboot.shtml <-- have you seen that?
02:28.00Cyorxampjoshin, ur not even on the same page it seems
02:28.28joshinNope, my Zaurus works fine with alt-boot and I no longer suffer corrupted sdcards
02:29.29Cyorxampsummatusmentis, joshin.... I don't want a loopback image
02:29.42joshinWhy not?
02:29.45Cyorxampthis is a 'Direct Install' i,e. the filesystem is actually on the SD card
02:30.23summatusmentisright, you want a 'real filesystem' on the SD
02:30.28Cyorxampyeah
02:30.44Cyorxampit seems to look for the INIT thingy and says its not there (when it is)
02:30.50joshinYeah and if you spent 10 seconds googling problems that people had with your 'Direct Install' on Collie,  you'd see why people use loopback mounts.
02:30.52Cyorxampthen it looks for the boot-image which isnt there
02:31.00Cyorxampbut its not supposed to me
02:31.01Cyorxamp*be
02:31.07summatusmentisah, ok
02:31.16Cyorxampjoshin, either help in the task I am trying to accomplish or stfu
02:31.19summatusmentiscan I ask why you're against a loopback image?
02:31.34JustinPbecause he doesn't understand what he's talking about
02:31.41Cyorxampbecause I want to treat the SD card a permanent HDD-like for the zaurus
02:31.43JustinPand he doesn't listen
02:31.49Cyorxampi.e. not to be removed
02:31.59joshinsummatusmentis, because he is a pathetic little weasel who's mommy never told him no.
02:32.00Cyorxampi figure a direct install will be quicker
02:32.36CyorxampAND! it an option presented on alt-boot...so i expect it to fucking work
02:33.25summatusmentisI'm gonna assume you have a relatively solid background w/ linux?
02:33.34Cyorxampnot solid but getting there
02:33.43Cyorxampshoot
02:35.19Cyorxamp /sbin/init.sysvinit DOES exist on the SD card despite what altboot says
02:36.00Cyorxampim no expert in file attributes here (well on linux anyways)
02:36.07Cyorxampbut on an LS (on my ubuntu box) of the sbin
02:36.19Cyorxampinit shows up as red and init.sysvinit as green
02:36.29Cyorxampdoes init.sysvinit need to be red like init?
02:36.57joshinActually, you need a nice mauve color for it to work.

02:39.31CyorxampI have tried EVERY little fucking thing anyone has said
02:39.37Cyorxampjoshin, your just a troll... so fuck off
02:39.45joshinDid you try loopback?
02:39.53joshinDid you try to understand the error you got?
02:39.54CyorxampNO! Because loopback IS NOT THE GOAL
02:39.57CyorxampYOU FUCKTARD
02:40.08joshinYour goal is wrong.
02:40.13CyorxampGet fucked
02:40.28Kevin`loopback shouldn't be the goal
02:40.36Kevin`loopback is a hack, and not really what he wants
02:40.41Cyorxampexactly
02:41.35Cyorxamplost the will to speak joshin?
02:41.36joshinKevin`, problem is that the SD driver for Collie is so buggy that using a non-loopback root will cause corruption.  
02:41.50joshinEspecially if you mount the sd-card async for the best performance.
02:42.09Kevin`how would using loop help that at all
02:42.16joshinTake a look at the IRC logs from about a year ago when MickeyL and I spent days on it.
02:42.32Cyorxampyeah exactly Kevin`
02:42.50joshinKevin`, because it is a stupid hack that doesn't hit the sd-driver the same way.
02:42.51Kevin`joshin what happens if you create a loop device from the entire drive?
02:43.08Cyorxampwhich is what i'd end up in doing anyway
02:43.11Kevin`losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcwhatever
02:43.13*** join/#openzaurus polyonymous_ (i=hacker@pD953805C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
02:43.14joshinKevin`, that works fine.  
02:43.17Cyorxampwhy have a 512mb sd card if u dont use 512mb of it
02:43.25Kevin`that seems like a usuable solution
02:43.50joshinIt is how my Collie is currently setup and I have gcc, mysql, apache, and python on it.  
02:43.52Cyorxampi dont want a damn loopback file
02:44.03Kevin`Cyorxamp why?
02:44.21Cyorxampi want to be able to happy as larry save files to my / on the zaurus, pop the sd in my linux pc and get at it no hassle
02:44.37Kevin`then create a loop device using the entire sd card, or the partition
02:44.42Kevin`that won't affect how files are stored
02:44.45Cyorxampa loopback image is just the extra piece of shit
02:44.52CyorxampI don't want to have to 'partition' the thing
02:44.53Kevin`(do the partition, not the whole device)
02:44.57Kevin`um
02:45.03joshin"modprobe loopback ; mount -o loop /dev/sd? /mnt/sdcard2" is too hard?
02:45.03Kevin`sd cards are normally partitioned
02:45.09Cyorxampthat means deciding how much for this and that
02:45.09Kevin`windows won't read it if it's not
02:45.40Cyorxampive partitioned this one
02:45.40Kevin`why not make it all one partition
02:45.42Kevin`like it probably came from the store
02:45.45Cyorxamptype 83 (linux) mkfs formatted it to ext2
02:46.14Cyorxampthen I untarred the contents
02:46.22Kevin`Cyorxamp have init make a loop device from /dev/mmc0p1 (or whatever it's called) then mount that
02:46.32CyorxampNO!
02:46.32Kevin`that won't change at all how the files are stored on the drive
02:46.35Kevin`why?
02:46.39CyorxampI dont want a FUCKING LOOPBACK!
02:46.41Kevin`why?
02:46.46CyorxampI have already said whY!
02:46.55Kevin`because you can't use all the space then
02:46.57Kevin`which isn't true
02:47.09Cyorxampbecause I'd have to decide how much for each area
02:47.13Kevin`sigh
02:47.18Kevin`no, you DON'T
02:47.22CyorxampI WOULD!
02:47.28Kevin`all you would be doing
02:47.29CyorxampTHE LOOPBACK FILE HAS TO BE OF A CERTAIN SIZE
02:47.38CyorxampI.E. 384mb/512mb
02:47.42Kevin`Cyorxamp the loopback file can be a RAW DEVICE
02:47.50Kevin`like the entire sd card, or a partition on it
02:47.59CyorxampBut then it cant be read on linux!
02:48.10Kevin`that's simply incorrect.
02:48.26Cyorxampwell what the fuck is the difference between that and what im doing now!?
02:48.37Kevin`it won't break the driver?
02:48.38Cyorxampi cant just pop the fucker in and ubuntu to just mount it can I?
02:48.55Kevin`the only difference it's it's going through another layer as a loop device
02:49.07Kevin`it's normally a useless thing to do, but in this case works with the buggy driver
02:49.13Cyorxamploopbacks have to be files found at /media/card/boot-images/
02:49.21Kevin`that is incorrect
02:49.21Cyorxampi see NO MENTION of ruddy raw shits
02:49.51Kevin`by the way, you can use loopback images in ubuntu too
02:49.53Kevin`it's a linux thing
02:49.55Cyorxampthis is supposed to work as a proper filesystem on ext2
02:49.56Kevin`not an OZ thing
02:49.58Cyorxampso I expet it to work
02:50.23Kevin`Cyorxamp if you actually understood what i'm telling you to do you wouldn't be complaining
02:50.24Kevin`:/
02:50.47CyorxampI understand it fine and I don't want to do it that way
02:50.52Kevin`why?
02:50.56CyorxampI want what is advetised to WORK
02:51.04Kevin`you think you need to use some special file or format
02:51.10Kevin`and it won't work with normal systems
02:51.12Kevin`that's not true
02:51.18Cyorxampno i know all that
02:51.23Cyorxampbut i still dont give a flying fuck
02:51.30Kevin`suit yourself, have it not work.
02:51.33CyorxampI want it to work the way it was originally advertised in the fucking first place
02:51.59Cyorxampnot spend another 8 fuckin days learning someone else fucked up plan on how to cock this thing up even more
02:52.03Kevin`couldn't he use an old kernel with the original SD driver?
02:52.11Cyorxampim not changing my direction AGAIN
02:52.27joshinHe's stuck at 2.4.18
02:52.38joshinAnyone that wants the SD card to work is stuck there.
02:53.00Kevin`is that using an oss driver then?
02:53.19CyorxampAnswer me this simple question....
02:53.34joshinUntil someone figures out how to reverse engineer the sdcard driver for collie, collie is pretty much a dead platform.
02:53.46CyorxampI have the file it wants '/sbin/init.sysvinit' on the SD card.... WHY cant it see it?
02:54.16Kevin`Cyorxamp start with init=/bin/sh and try to do the steps to mount the sd card as root yourself
02:54.22Kevin`perhaps the reason will become obvious
02:54.29Cyorxampit already IS mounted!
02:54.51Kevin`so pivot_root to the sd card and run init
02:55.15Cyorxampwhat!?
02:55.19Kevin`:/
02:55.28Cyorxamplook.... i get...
02:55.29CyorxampNote: No INIT [/sbin/init.sysvinit] found on target
02:55.29CyorxampNote: No boot-images found in [/media/card/boot-images]

02:55.33Cyorxampthen what?
02:55.49Kevin`Cyorxamp cat /proc/mounts
02:56.16Cyorxampok i see it mounted in the list
02:56.31Kevin`what all is mounted
02:56.47Cyorxamp?
02:57.03Kevin`read off the list of filesystems
02:57.20Cyorxamp /dev/mmcda1 /media/card ext2 rw,noatime 0 0
02:57.41Cyorxamp /dev/root / jffs2 rw 0 0

02:58.13Cyorxamp ramfs /dev ramfs rw 0 0
02:58.16joshinCyorxamp, alt-boot is a freaking shellscript.  You should be able to read it and figure out where it is not working for you.
02:58.28Cyorxampthats all I get Kevin`
02:58.29Kevin`cd /media/card
02:58.32Kevin`umount /proc
02:58.42Cyorxamptheres nothing in /media/card Kevin`
02:58.46Kevin`Oh
02:58.48Kevin`that's.. odd
02:58.53Kevin`don't do what I said then
02:58.55Kevin`hm
02:58.57Cyorxamphavent
02:59.03Kevin`umount /media/card

03:01.56Kevin`if you know what the sysrq key is.. I don't
03:02.02Cyorxampi did 'losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1'
03:02.11Cyorxampnow what?
03:02.19Kevin`less /dev/loop0 - try to read it
03:02.32Cyorxampless?
03:02.35Cyorxamptheres no command called less
03:02.52Kevin`dd if=/dev/loop0 count=1|hexdump
03:03.15Kevin`cmon, have some useful commands thing :)
03:03.22Cyorxampwhat!?
03:03.29Cyorxampyouve totally lost me
03:03.35Cyorxamp<Cyorxamp> i did 'losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1'
03:03.35Cyorxamp<Cyorxamp> now what?
03:03.45Kevin`all I want to do is read from /dev/loop0
03:03.53Cyorxampthats nice but what do I type?
03:03.54Kevin`if you feel brave you could just cat /dev/loop0
03:04.05Kevin`this will mess up the terminal, and stop when you press ctrl+c
03:04.14Kevin`(if it works, that is)
03:04.25Cyorxampcat returns nothing
03:04.33Kevin`dmesg again
03:04.45Cyorxampunknown partition table
03:05.00Kevin`echo /dev/mmcd*
03:05.07Kevin`what's the name of the full device
03:05.32Cyorxampwell theres /dev/mmcda    /dev/mmcda1    and     /dev/mmcda2
03:05.32Kevin`oh, and do you have the device partitioned?
03:05.42Kevin`the sd card
03:05.42Cyorxampi paritioned it using fdisk on linux
03:05.44Kevin`ok
03:05.53Cyorxamp1 primary parition... type 83
03:05.53Kevin`hexdump </dev/mmcda
03:06.00Cyorxampthen i did a mkfs -t ext2
03:06.11Kevin`mkfs -t ext2 what?
03:06.20Cyorxamp /dev/sda1
03:06.23Kevin`k
03:06.49Kevin`someone who knows how to get.. anything working on this silly driver, help would be appreciated :)
03:06.53Cyorxampok hexdump has alot of shit
03:07.10Cyorxampit just keeps coming and coming
03:07.15Kevin`and the same from mmcda1 returns nothing?
03:07.20Kevin`press ctrl+c to stop it
03:07.31Cyorxampthere is no ctrl
03:07.47Kevin`what key is mapped to the control key on collie?
03:07.56Cyorxampi dunno!
03:08.25Kevin`i'm asking the channel
03:08.46Cyorxampwell while were waiting, du think were getting anywhere?
03:08.58Kevin`well that it can read the device at all is a good thing
03:09.10Cyorxampand this mess means it can
03:09.17Kevin`yes
03:09.20summatusmentisKevin`, I think it's the calendar key
03:09.22Cyorxampshould I not have used fdisk to partition it?
03:09.34Cyorxamptried that summatusmentis
03:09.37Kevin`Cyorxamp it's standard to do that.. I would have in your place too
03:10.00Kevin`Cyorxamp although there's technically no reason you HAVE to partition it
03:10.06CyorxampKevin`, actually I used fdisk in the beginning but I think i used cfdisk for this one
03:10.10Kevin`if it works without partitioning, I wouldn't complain
03:10.11Cyorxampbut cfdisk uses fdisk anyway i trhink
03:10.33Cyorxampso should I mkfs on /dev/sda instead of sda1 ?
03:10.40summatusmentisCyorxamp, worked for me
03:10.52Kevin`Cyorxamp worth a try
03:11.02Cyorxampok... will give it a go
03:11.04Kevin`but keep in mind, everything expects it to be partitioned :)
03:11.12Kevin`in linux you won't have much of a problem though
03:11.21Cyorxampwell what will i have an issue with?
03:11.36Kevin`windows, and any automounting scripts in linux maybe
03:11.40Cyorxampi mean windows/dos cant read ext2 anyways
03:11.55Kevin`you can get drivers to do that
03:11.56Kevin`in windows
03:12.07Cyorxampyeah i already use ext2fsd but thats for hdd's
03:12.16Cyorxampcant find anything for card readers
03:12.18Kevin`it doesn't work for sd?
03:12.23Kevin`should tell the author
03:12.36Cyorxampnah u have to state which primary/logical parition on ur hd
03:12.44Cyorxampits not a bug... just not a feature
03:12.55Cyorxampwindows has no /dev remember?
03:12.57Kevin`it's a bug imo if it doesn't read usb devices
03:13.08Cyorxamptheres no way to reference it
03:13.15Kevin`yes there is
03:13.23Cyorxampwell not from I can tell
03:13.31Cyorxampanyways it off topic
03:13.35Kevin`oh, it's not obvious, but it's there
03:13.43Cyorxampshould I mkfs the whole thing then and untar again?
03:13.54Kevin`Cyorxamp worth a try..
03:14.05Cyorxampok, what were u gonna try if i dont try that?
03:14.15Cyorxampi.e. where were u going - after the hexdump
03:14.23Cyorxampwhich is still dumping as we speak
03:14.24Kevin`was going to try the same thing on the partition
03:14.41Kevin`heh just unplug it, the worst it will do is crash the device
03:15.15Cyorxamp:(
03:15.29Cyorxampi wanna know where ctrl is!
03:15.36Cyorxampcalander+c doesn't work
03:15.36Kevin`so do I
03:16.10Cyorxampok shall i reboot into altboot again?
03:16.16Cyorxampand we can hexdump the other thing?
03:16.20Kevin`boot into init=/bin/sh
03:16.58Cyorxampdone
03:17.17Kevin`ya go ahead and see if you can read the partition the same way
03:17.31Cyorxampmount it?
03:17.35Kevin`no
03:17.39Cyorxampcuz theres nothing in /media/card
03:17.52Kevin`do hexdump </dev/mmcda1
03:18.13Kevin`I suppose if nobody knows what the ctrl key is, also nobody knows what the sysrq key for collie is?
03:18.14Cyorxampok lots of shit
03:18.36Cyorxampnow what?
03:18.38Cyorxampreboot again?
03:19.31Cyorxampmaybe its summat altboot cant do but normal linux can
03:19.48Kevin`you are using linux
03:19.54Cyorxampok ignore me then :S
03:19.58Cyorxampnow what?
03:20.12Kevin`losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1
03:20.17Cyorxampreboot?
03:20.17Kevin`hexdump </dev/loop0
03:20.33Kevin`well if you can't stop the command, yes
03:20.37Cyorxampok
03:21.19Cyorxampmmcda1 no such device
03:21.27Cyorxampon the losetup bit
03:21.40Kevin`odd, isn't that what you just used before?
03:21.54Cyorxampi didnt do losetup before
03:21.57Cyorxampjust hexdump
03:22.07Kevin`yes, but mmcda1 obviously exists..
03:22.14Cyorxampwant me do hexdump </dev/mmcda1 again?
03:22.29Kevin`if you want, doubt the outcome will be different
03:22.50Kevin`sure go ahead
03:22.52Cyorxampno such device

03:23.55Cyorxampyeah
03:24.06Kevin`oh ya, kmsg is a loop..
03:24.13Cyorxampbefore that it sez freeing init memory 80k
03:24.20Kevin`I bet "unable to open initial console" was the message
03:24.22Kevin`heh
03:24.32Kevin`Anyway
03:24.35Cyorxamp'open AN initial console'
03:24.41Kevin`I would try to format the entire sd card
03:25.07Cyorxampwell IMO it looks like it can read the SD
03:25.15Cyorxampbut doesnt understand the partition
03:25.26Kevin`uhuh
03:25.30Cyorxampwhy is that?
03:25.36Kevin`dunno
03:25.43Cyorxampok well ill mkfs /dev/sda now

03:29.04Kevin`which is? heh
03:29.05Cyorxampi.e. Boot from SD card
03:29.27Kevin`doubt it understands an unpartitioned drive

03:35.16Cyorxampyeah
03:35.17Cyorxampshall I reboot and try again?
03:35.24Kevin`sure :/
03:36.13Cyorxamphexdump says the same thing
03:36.36Cyorxampi take it... without a partition... OZ doesnt think theres anything at all there?
03:36.40Kevin`ok then,
03:36.51Kevin`partition the drive, however you want, but do NOT format it
03:36.56Cyorxampok
03:37.02Cyorxampwell u tell me how to parition it
03:37.06Cyorxampjust to be on safe side
03:37.11Kevin`one primary partition
03:37.20Cyorxamptype 83 ?
03:37.22Kevin`whatever you do don't use extended partitions
03:37.27Kevin`do what you did before
03:37.34Cyorxampyeah that is what I did before
03:37.39Cyorxamptype 83 is Linux
03:37.57Kevin`the partitions themselves don't matter, I just want it to have a partition table
03:38.10Kevin`since the partition table shouldn't effect the existing filesystem
03:38.22Cyorxampdone
03:38.33Cyorxamptry booting using option 3 again?
03:38.44Kevin`no, it won't work

03:39.47Kevin`now that doesn't make sense
03:40.17Kevin`your computer is behaving inconsistantly :(
03:40.42Cyorxampthe zaurus?
03:40.45Kevin`yes
03:40.50Cyorxampwell :S
03:40.52Cyorxampi dunno!
03:41.10Cyorxampthe sd card is in it
03:41.25Kevin`perhaps someone else here who has used this platform has any ideas?
03:41.42Cyorxampi'll reflash
03:41.51Cyorxampmaybe altboot has been b0rked
03:42.03Kevin`I don't see how it would be, but.. ok
03:42.12Cyorxampand ill pop the sd back in my pc and check fdisk still says theres a part
03:42.36Cyorxampah! i didnt write
03:42.56Kevin`heh
03:43.07Kevin`try it again now
03:43.42Cyorxampwhich command?
03:43.50Kevin`hexdump </dev/mmcda
03:43.56Kevin`well wait
03:44.07Kevin`eh, just do that
03:44.07Cyorxampok
03:44.12Kevin`might as well be consistant
03:44.12Cyorxampno such device
03:45.00Cyorxampmmcda1 says the same
03:45.29Kevin`I don't get it.
03:45.31Cyorxampjust checked with my linux pc, and the partition is there
03:45.36Cyorxampmaybe it needs to be formatted
03:45.40Cyorxampthen it will see it
03:45.45Cyorxampshall I mkfs?
03:45.54Kevin`well that would destroy the partition that's on the entire disk
03:46.03Kevin`and we'd be back to where you were before
03:46.19Cyorxampyeah but at least wed rule out a random error with the zaurus :P
03:46.23Kevin`k
03:47.11Cyorxamprebooting zaurus
03:48.05Cyorxampno such device
03:48.16Cyorxampill reflash
03:49.03Cyorxampreflashing...
03:49.15Kevin`wonder if you could get a combo cf storage+wifi card
03:49.40Cyorxampwould be nice
03:49.52Cyorxampits 4:49am here
03:50.02Cyorxampi'm not giving up till its working
03:51.15Cyorxampok booting....
03:52.17Cyorxampno such device
03:52.38Cyorxamp"hexdump </dev/mmcda"
03:52.58Kevin`odd.
03:53.15Cyorxampill try mounting it normally in linux
03:53.31Cyorxampworks
03:53.43Cyorxampif the SD reader on the collie is bust then I have a replacement
03:54.01agaffneyKevin`: the combo cards aren't well supported (if at all)
03:54.06Cyorxampbut before jumping to that conclusion, anything else u can think of?
03:54.35Kevin`Cyorxamp since we did the exact same thing as before, and it worked once, but didn't work now, no
03:54.46Kevin`I doubt it would just break though
03:55.00Cyorxampi have absolutely inexplicable things
03:55.03Cyorxamp*hate
03:56.12Cyorxampi see mmcda and mmcda1 and mmcda2 in /dev
03:57.12Cyorxampok Kevin`, what if that 'format the whole device' thing fucked it?
03:57.30Cyorxampanyway I can totally 'blank' the SD card without need for partition tables?
03:57.37Kevin`yes
03:57.39Cyorxampand start a fresh
03:57.45Cyorxampok how
03:57.51Kevin`dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
03:58.04Cyorxampthats what i type into my linux terminal?
03:58.12Kevin`then partition, then format, then extract..
03:58.14Kevin`yes
03:58.22Kevin`assuming sda is the sd card!
03:58.30Kevin`not your sata hard drive or something :)
03:58.34Cyorxampok and it will effectlive 00000 all 512mb of it?
03:58.37Kevin`yes
04:01.57Cyorxampok that seems to be taking its time
04:02.12Cyorxampbut i can tell by the card reader activity light its doing it
04:03.36CyorxampKevin`:  i suspect alof the wifi circuitry can be put in the buldge part of at the top with the aerial
04:03.45Cyorxampleaving the rest for a normal CF card
04:04.17Kevin`how would you connect it to the cpy
04:04.19Kevin`cpu*
04:04.39Cyorxampi dunno
04:04.49Cyorxampi've never heard of a CF hub
04:04.51Kevin`that's the first question, not where to put it :)
04:05.14Cyorxampeffectively 3 CF devices... the hub, the CF card, the wifi
04:05.50Cyorxampgod this 'dd-ing' takes its time
04:06.12Kevin`you did bs=1M right? or some other large number
04:06.38Cyorxampi did what you typed
04:06.50Cyorxampdd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
04:06.55Kevin`ok
04:06.59Cyorxampdone!
04:07.09CyorxampSegmentation fault
04:07.13Kevin`O_o
04:07.14Kevin`dmesg
04:07.31Kevin`dd should NOT segfault
04:07.34Cyorxampi think its normal
04:07.44Cyorxampit basically got to the end of what it could write to
04:07.53Cyorxampsaid it occurred at 515mb
04:07.57Kevin`that would not cause it to crash
04:07.58Cyorxampand its a 512mb card
04:08.18Kevin`well whatever, as long as it did it's work
04:08.20Cyorxampshall I make partions
04:08.27Kevin`uhuh
04:09.36Cyorxampformatting..
04:10.25Cyorxampthe error before may have been cuz it was mounted
04:10.45Cyorxampuntarring...
04:11.46Cyorxamprebooting Z
04:12.40Cyorxampno such devide
04:12.43Cyorxamp*device
04:13.17Cyorxampand yet its perfectly mountable on linux
04:13.39Cyorxampok... hypathetical question Kevin`
04:13.56Cyorxampif I was to sell this 512mb (most people use them for cameras and fat16 anyways) on eBay
04:14.08Cyorxampand get a new one... which make would be the best for this purpose?
04:14.23Kevin`I don't know
04:14.39Cyorxampshould I dd while its not mounted and try again?
04:14.45Kevin`they should all behave the same in mmc mode.. i've never heard of any problems of that sort
04:14.58Kevin`I doubt it will make a difference
04:15.12Cyorxampwell im trying anyways
04:15.13Kevin`there's something wrong with OZ or the hardware
04:15.18Kevin`imo
04:15.37Cyorxampthis only occurred after the 'format whole disk' thing
04:15.44Cyorxampbefore that it was fine
04:15.52Kevin`ok, ok, go test it :)
04:16.01Cyorxampgo test it?
04:16.16Cyorxampu mean do dd again?
04:16.32Kevin`yes
04:16.54Cyorxampim not used to all this mount and unmount stuff normally
04:16.57Cyorxampit sure is a pain
04:17.19Kevin`well there's no way to tell when a usb (or sd) card is about to be removes
04:17.23Cyorxampthe most advanced stuff in filesystems id done up to this share was getting /MediaDisk to be my windows share from my other pc
04:17.28Kevin`so unmounting is needed on any os
04:17.53CyorxampKevin`, nonsense.... i noticed when I 'untarred' it didnt actually write to the disk
04:17.58Cyorxampit only does that upon unmount
04:18.04Cyorxampwhich is just plain silly
04:18.12Kevin`it's done for performance reasons
04:18.22Kevin`and helps to avoid damaging the flash chip
04:18.22Cyorxampwell its stupid IMO
04:18.30Kevin`it's not stupid, IMO
04:19.08Cyorxampit explains why OH so many dozens of times I have been frustrated trying to put the odd text file on a floppy from a linux box and finding theres no files on it at the other end
04:19.26Kevin`you really should unmount it on windows too
04:19.36Cyorxampunmount a floppy?
04:19.58Kevin`well not a floppy, since there's no option for that and it does it immediately
04:20.00Kevin`usb devices
04:20.12Cyorxampu just whack em in and out
04:20.40Kevin`that has the possibility of causing filesystem corruption if there is still something bieng done to the drive
04:20.50Cyorxamphowever if theres an option i may consider it - might save me from having to rebuild thunderbirds address book after OH so many times its got corrupted
04:21.19Cyorxampu close thunderbird, then take ur USB pen stick out (with the thunderbird profiles dir on it) and then find out thunderbird (although closed) didnt finish writing to it
04:21.27Cyorxampthunderbird is retarded
04:21.40Kevin`there's a little icon on the taskbar, 'remove device'
04:21.51Cyorxampyeah I ignore it :P
04:22.22Cyorxampquite possibly I wont be now :P
04:22.28Kevin`:)
04:22.40Cyorxampyey its done!
04:22.45Cyorxampparitioning time!

04:29.15Kevin`odd, but ok
04:29.16Kevin`do so
04:29.27Cyorxampshut i reboot into option 3?
04:29.30Kevin`yes

04:33.48Cyorxampwhy have u reversed the order of the arguments?

04:38.53JustinPhttp://pear.reversefold.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=zaurus:loopbackimages
04:38.58JustinPand good luck to you
04:39.16CyorxampCan't you just give it a rest?
04:39.55Kevin`JustinP that would work if he could mount /media/card
04:40.32Kevin`(and, at that time, wouldn't be useful)
04:40.48Cyorxampnext step?
04:40.51JustinPah, well, sounds like he's royally fubared his card, then. I suggest he format it FAT and use a loopback image, as described above.
04:41.13CyorxampJustinP, the card works fine on my linux box
04:42.16CyorxampKevin`, i'm gonna turn it into a fat card again... give it windows - use a program I know for wiping it... then give it back to linux
04:43.06Kevin`Cyorxamp the wiping you did was thorough
04:43.19Cyorxampwell i wanna try another proggy
04:43.29Kevin`whatever..
04:43.31Cyorxampplus in the middle of it I can test if it will mount fat32 ok
04:43.36Cyorxampshould i do 32 or 16?
04:43.43Kevin`32
04:44.09Kevin`I suppose 16 should work though
04:44.12Cyorxampok disk management has done it
04:44.22Cyorxampshall i try mounting it on the Z?
04:44.38Kevin`if you want
04:44.39Cyorxampworked
04:44.53Cyorxampthe mount command worked
04:45.02Kevin`I wonder why ext2 is not working
04:45.14Cyorxampok now I know that works... shall i delete the fat32 part off it in windows
04:45.22Cyorxampthen use fdisk in linux to make the ext3 one again
04:45.35Kevin`I don't know :)
04:45.40Cyorxampmaybe its that segmentation fault
04:45.43Cyorxampbut this is a neat way around it
04:45.48Cyorxampwindows has done the formatting itself
04:46.56Cyorxampthis is odd... windows wont let me delete the fat32 partition
04:47.03Cyorxampi can make/remove files off it tho
04:47.11Kevin`don't delete the partition
04:47.13Cyorxampok
04:47.17Cyorxampdo that in linux?
04:47.23Kevin`that could have been the problem, that it was created wrongly
04:47.27Kevin`leave the partition,
04:47.29Cyorxampok
04:47.30Kevin`just format it ext2
04:47.40Cyorxampso just do mkfs now?
04:47.48Kevin`yes
04:48.19Cyorxampdone, untarring..

04:50.00Cyorxampshal I go into option 7?

04:50.14Kevin`when it worked

04:50.26Cyorxamp?
04:50.31Kevin`no
04:50.36Kevin`what command did you type that worked
04:50.44Cyorxampsame thing but without the -t ext2

04:53.45Kevin`let it do it's thing
04:54.05Cyorxamp£20 says it wont snap out of it :P
04:54.11Kevin`heh
04:54.30Cyorxampor $20 or €20 ... whatever!
04:55.44Kevin`I suppose it's possible
04:56.11Cyorxampi have another collie I can try this on
04:56.26Cyorxampinfact ill flash it with the bootstrap same as this while i wait to win the bet
04:57.41Cyorxampif this sd card wont format on 2 collies... but will format on PC.... what will that tell you?
04:58.12Kevin`your pc has a better sd card reader, or driver
04:58.24Cyorxampi cant believe after over 4 horus of working on this we have got to the same issue i got 1 month ago
04:58.24Kevin`or it's very slow :)
04:58.28Cyorxampwhat started it all off
04:58.39Cyorxampyeah well i remember giving it a few hours the last time
04:59.22Cyorxampshall i give up and try it on the other collie?
04:59.38*** join/#openzaurus leoncamel (n=leoncame@219.142.153.108)
04:59.46Kevin`i'd let it sit there and try it on the other collie
05:00.13Cyorxamptheres only 1 SD card you know :P
05:00.27Kevin`Oh
05:00.41Kevin`take it out while it's still formatting
05:00.45Kevin`and see what it does
05:00.58Cyorxampits said nothing
05:01.05Kevin`ctrl+c?
05:01.07Cyorxampoh no
05:01.08Kevin`Oh, wait
05:01.18Cyorxampits pretending as tho it finished
05:01.26Cyorxampsaid its 'done'
05:01.35Kevin`try to mount it? heh

05:02.21Cyorxampmy linux box cant read it
05:02.41Cyorxampwhatever it did... it messed it up
05:03.03Cyorxampok nuts to this i give up
05:03.17CyorxampFAT32... 2/3rds used by the loop image
05:03.27Kevin`why not completely used
05:03.30Cyorxamp1/3rd can be 'My Documents'-like
05:03.36Kevin`oh
05:03.42Cyorxampi take it, it will show up like a notmal SD card?
05:03.45Cyorxampthat last 128mb or so?
05:04.06Kevin`it will show up as free space..
05:04.17Cyorxampok ill have a 341mb loopback
05:04.34Cyorxampshall i format as ext2 again on my linux box?
05:04.42Kevin`yes
05:04.50Cyorxampext2?
05:04.55Cyorxampsorry I mean FAT32
05:05.08Kevin`mount -o async /dev/mmcda1 /media/card
05:05.22Cyorxampif I'm gonna have 128mb of 'normal SD card memory space' then i want it fat32
05:05.26Cyorxampcan that be done?
05:05.38Kevin`mount -o loop,async,noatime /media/card/loop /mnt/root

05:06.00Cyorxamphello?
05:06.05Kevin`chroot /mnt/root
05:06.09Kevin`>
05:06.11Kevin`?
05:06.20Cyorxampwhats wrong with you?
05:06.27Kevin`Cyorxamp the loop image is just a file
05:06.35Cyorxampon FAT32?
05:06.37Kevin`yes
05:06.48Kevin`my thoughts on having root on the loop image ^
05:06.51Cyorxampso no need for the SD to be ext2?
05:07.10Kevin`well it would be a lot cleaner to have it ext2
05:07.18Cyorxampbollox to that
05:07.31Cyorxampif it aint gonna be a real filesystem then it can be fat32
05:07.45Kevin`it is a 'real' filesystem
05:07.52Cyorxampbollox is it
05:07.53Kevin`and you could mount it on linux if you wanted
05:08.07Cyorxampcan I alter the size of the loopback when its made?
05:08.10Kevin`it's just a filesystem on a formatted file instead of a formatted block device
05:08.13Cyorxampwithout destroying data?
05:08.26Kevin`Cyorxamp not easily, it's about as easy as resizing a partition
05:08.34Kevin`only there aren't many automatic tools
05:08.35Cyorxampwhich is piss easy
05:09.05Kevin`I doubt gparted knows to add data on to a loop image to resize it :)
05:09.06Cyorxampwindows cant format this SD now
05:09.10Cyorxampits real fucked
05:09.14Kevin`Heh
05:09.15Kevin`:)
05:09.22Cyorxampi'll get linux to DD it
05:09.27Kevin`format it as fat32 on linux
05:09.44Cyorxamplinux is confused too
05:10.08Cyorxampdd'ing now anyways
05:10.18Cyorxampwhat the hell does dd stand for?
05:10.55Cyorxampand how do I turn this .tar.gz rootfs into a file for inside a 'boot-image' directory on my FAt32 part?
05:11.12Cyorxampor should I let alt boot do that?
05:11.50Kevin`uh
05:11.53Kevin`boot-image directory?
05:12.12Cyorxampwell however all this loopy crap is done- i dont know
05:12.15Kevin`well wherever you intend to put the loop file
05:13.02Cyorxampthe hentges stuff is really vague and contradictive
05:13.02Kevin`make an empty file of the size you want
05:13.02Kevin`then format it with ext2
05:13.02Kevin`then mount it
05:13.02Kevin`then copy files to it
05:13.05Cyorxampwow... that sounds......... fun
05:13.13Cyorxamphow do i make an empty file?
05:13.31Kevin`dd if=/dev/zero of=loopfile bs=1M count=300
05:13.33Kevin`or so
05:13.40Cyorxamp300 is 300mb?
05:13.43Kevin`yes
05:13.47Cyorxamp300mb exaclty?
05:13.50Kevin`yes
05:13.52Cyorxampok
05:14.06Cyorxamploopfile is the name of the file?
05:14.21Kevin`it can be whatever you want, or whatever those silly instructions say :)
05:14.45joshinWow, you guys are still at it.  Kevin`:  I nominate you for sainthood.  :)  Night all
05:14.48Cyorxampwell im ignorin the silly instructions as I have man who was patient enough to do all this for 4 hours
05:15.12Cyorxampjoshin: night shit head
05:16.29Cyorxampi don't think i'll sleep tonight its like 6:16am now
05:16.39Cyorxampid never be able to get back to a normal pattern
05:16.56Kevin`hm I should go to sleep
05:17.12Cyorxampso if theres a file called 'loopfile' on my fat32 sd card.... thats it?
05:17.16Cyorxampjust option 3 to boot SD?
05:17.29Kevin`I don't know what files, if any, altboot will look for
05:17.37Kevin`might help to read the altboot script
05:17.51Kevin`but, I have to go to sleep
05:17.54CyorxampThe images must be named XXX-rootfs.bin (where XXX can be any description you'd like, just don't use space) and placed onto the SD or CF card inside the folder configured by IMAGE_PATH. The default is "boot-images". So, to boot an image called "opie-snapshot-rootfs.bin" from SD, you'd place it into /media/card/boot-images. The full path then is /media/card/boot-images/opie-snapshot-rootfs.bin
05:17.58Kevin`have school tomorrow
05:18.22Kevin`so make a boot-images/somename-rootfs.bin
05:18.26Cyorxampok... nn
05:18.31Kevin`night
05:18.32Cyorxampthanx for ur help!
05:18.51Kevin`np
05:22.40Cyorxampit wont format back to fat32
05:22.46Cyorxampwindows keep failing! NOOOO!

17:27.02TheFoolCoreDump|home: thanks, but there doesn't seem to be any images there for the 5500. Only the clamshell models.
17:27.58CoreDump|home3.5.4 is the latest release for collie. there's a 3.5.4.2-rc hiding somewhere as well
17:30.48TheFoolwell I must be slow because all I see in the images directory are images specifically labelled for the clamshell models. And I thought the feeds directory was just precompiled apps.
17:31.42TheFoolwow ignore me, somehow I went to the wrong url
17:32.55hvontres|poodleTheFool: I noticed that some of the mirroros in feeds.openzaurus.org only cary the 3.5.4.1 stuff

17:38.07TheFoolis there a specific memory distribution (memory/storgae) that is considered optimal for a 5500?

18:08.47JustinPthefool: depends if the flashing kernel recognizes it as storage
18:09.02JustinPthefool: my guess is no, the flasher is 2.4 kernel based

18:15.51thefooldarn, couldn't even get the lights to flash :(
18:16.13thefoolI guess that means I am going to need to bum a cf card from someone
18:21.13thefoolaccoriding to the installation instruction "Alternatively to pressing C+D+Reset, you can press D+P (G+P in some models), enter the internal diagnostics menu, and start the flashing process from there." does anyone know at what time this is to be done?

20:13.43siriusnovaregarding SD cards
20:13.56siriusnovai have a 256mb SD card and i have a 241mb image on it
20:14.09siriusnovai copied the 241mb image onto my Windows XP computer and now the file shows up as 246mb
20:14.13siriusnovaso i cant copy it back to the SD card
20:14.56TheFool246 won't fit on a 256?
20:15.08siriusnovanope
20:15.30hrw|tvTheFool: to flash collie you need 16M cf card (or bigger)
20:15.46siriusnovaTheFool - its weird - i was trying to do a backup
20:15.52siriusnovaeven though the file _fits_ on the SD card
20:15.54TheFoolhrw|tv ah, ok.
20:16.00siriusnovaonce on my windows xp laptop i cant copy it back
20:16.03siriusnovatoo big :/
20:16.30hrw|tvTheFool: I got mine from friend which got it with digital camera
20:17.33TheFoolthats a shame, I knew you gained a bit of size when changing between differently formated partitions but 10mb is ridiculous
20:17.36hrw|tvdo some research
20:18.07hvontres|poodle256MB card = 249513 K = 244 MB
20:18.16siriusnovayeah wtf this is weird
20:18.27siriusnovathe file was originally ON the SD card
20:18.35siriusnovaall i did was copy it over and erase the files on the SD
20:18.39siriusnovaand try to copy it back

20:18.43hvontres|poodlein the hdd and card world 1MB = 1e6 Bytes....
20:19.19hvontres|poodlein the os worls 1 MB= 1024^2 Bytes
20:19.43siriusnovaso basically im screwed :/
20:19.58TheFoolhrw|tv: not sure what you mean by that, I knew I needed 16mb, and I know they are used in cameras etc. the only thing I didn't know, and was googling around for quite a bit to try and find out was if I could modify the initd to allow me to flash with the card I have
20:20.19TheFoolsiriusnova: basically
20:20.33hrw|tvTheFool: modify in which way?
20:20.35siriusnovaheh i made a backup specifically so i wouldnt lose the files
20:20.44siriusnovanow i cant copy _the backup_ back to the card i copied it from

20:20.54siriusnovai hate computers

20:21.26siriusnovaits a
20:21.42siriusnovai cant really compress that and even if i did i need it as a regular file for the Z to boot off it
20:21.52TheFoolsiriusnova: ah
20:24.15TheFoolsiriusnova: well I guess it's time to get a bigger SD card, new egg sells 1GB's for $20 or so ;-)
20:24.34siriusnovawell i guess i can try copying the files onto my 256mb card which shows more capacity
20:24.41siriusnovathen copy from CF to SD card directly on the Z

21:22.51OPPi want to know if that psx emulator runs well on it
21:23.51summatusmentisah, can't help you there
21:24.00summatusmentiscoming from which version of the Z?
21:24.03OPPwell :-D what do you know abou it
21:24.12OPPi dont have one
21:25.08summatusmentisknow about what? the 3200?
21:25.18summatusmentisnot too much, I do have some experience w/ Zaurii though
21:25.34OPPo
21:25.47OPPwhere can i see a compatibillity list for cf/sd wifi cards
21:25.55summatusmentisoesf.org
21:26.01summatusmentisthere's a link on there somewhere...
21:27.53summatusmentisOPP, maybe not, there is for the 5500
21:28.05OPPok
21:28.17OPPhmm
21:28.26summatusmentissd wifi won't work
21:29.17OPPis there a way that you could install an OS on it like debian
21:29.20OPPand use repositories
21:29.22summatusmentisspectrum symbol24 will, netgear(some)will, Linksys should, the SanDisk Wifi +128Mb will work, but only one, not both storage and wifi
21:29.36summatusmentisOpenzaurus is very similar to debian, and has it's own repositories
21:29.42OPPo it does?
21:29.44OPPthats grea
21:29.46OPPgreat*
21:29.50OPPdoes it use apt
21:30.02summatusmentisit uses ipkg, which is similar to apt
21:30.10summatusmentisalthough lacking some of apts functionality
21:30.41OPPso like
21:30.51OPPipkg install x11
21:31.11summatusmentisyes, except GPE is the only version of OZ that does X
21:31.24summatusmentisOPIE is qt based, and doesn't work w/ most applications
21:31.36summatusmentisbut yes, ipkg install <packagename>
21:31.46OPPok
21:32.00OPPand i want this thing in english
21:32.05OPPso Cacko rom, right?
21:33.24summatusmentismost roms do english
21:33.37summatusmentisI think the standard rom will do english too
21:33.50summatusmentisOZ is a ROM, replacing the original
21:34.06summatusmentisif you're looking at other roms, pdaXrom also has X
21:34.10summatusmentisand I think Cacko as well
21:35.15OPPthats cool
21:35.19OPPso if i install X
21:35.29OPPcan i really put on on app
21:35.36summatusmentisit'll come w/ X, you don't need to install it
21:35.43OPPo
21:36.03OPPis there a repository list anywhere
21:36.15summatusmentisand that depends, the Zaurii have a different architecture than your standard desktop, so in theory yes, in practicality, no
21:36.37summatusmentishttp://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/fb/
21:36.44summatusmentisthat's a way to search all the packages in OZ
21:36.54OPPyou seem to know alot
21:36.57OPPis there an FAQ
21:37.05OPPthat you read this  stuff
21:37.13JustinP:-/
21:37.15summatusmentismost of it is from hanging out here, and tinkering
21:37.27summatusmentisafaik, there is no centralized documentation
21:37.45summatusmentisI'm also pretty versed in linux
21:37.55OPPya i use debian
21:37.59OPPlinux is tits
21:38.16summatusmentispardon?
21:38.30OPPawesome
21:38.33summatusmentisah
21:38.51summatusmentisJustinP, how usable is the 1000?
21:38.57OPPso whats some awesome stuff about this cl-3200 i probably dont know and also some bad stuff i probably dont know
21:39.05summatusmentispresumably, more so than the 5500...
21:39.15summatusmentis6GB internal HD
21:39.22summatusmentisvery nice screen
21:39.26summatusmentiskeyboard
21:39.34OPPya good stuff
21:39.41OPP1 sd and 1 CF slot right
21:39.42summatusmentisas for bad, I don't know, never actually seen one
21:39.46summatusmentisyes, one of each
21:39.51summatusmentisCF is usually used for wifi
21:39.56OPPya
21:40.04summatusmentisthere's bad, no internal wifi/bluetooth
21:40.14summatusmentisUSB host system
21:40.39OPPbattery life
21:40.47summatusmentisnot sure
21:40.56summatusmentisrelatively good
21:41.04OPPwhat is opie
21:41.13summatusmentismy 5500(OLD Zaurus) get's 3 hours-ish, no wifi
21:41.23summatusmentisopie is one of the window managers for OZ
21:41.33summatusmentissimilar to KDE on debian
21:41.37OPPi see
21:41.42summatusmentisbut it doesn't support X
21:41.55OPPopie, x11,gpe,gnome?
21:42.02OPPare those all the wm's
21:42.10summatusmentisOPIE ~= KDE
21:42.17summatusmentisGPE ~= GNOME
21:42.28summatusmentisX is the entire windowing system, on a normal linux system
21:42.34OPPya
21:42.43summatusmentisgnome is for full fledged systems, not PDA's
21:42.43OPPso opie/gpe requiere x11?
21:42.56summatusmentisGPE has X11, OPIE uses qt
21:43.03OPPi see
21:43.15summatusmentisI'm not doing a very good job explaining this, I know
21:43.31OPPna its fine
21:43.38OPPso to run app
21:43.57OPPthat requiere X, you would need to install x11 if you were running Opie
21:44.08summatusmentisyou can't install X on OPIE
21:44.15OPPo
21:44.25OPPisnt opie the most supported
21:44.26summatusmentisapps that need X need to be compiled for qt, and most aren't capable of that
21:44.34OPPoooooooo
21:44.36OPPi get it now
21:44.45OPPso most people just use opie?
21:44.55summatusmentisit's personal preference
21:45.04summatusmentisI like GPE, because I like being able to use X apps
21:45.17summatusmentisothers like OPIE, as it's more polished, more integrated
21:45.57OPPi thought you said that most apps dont work on gpe
21:46.02OPPbecause its in qt
21:46.18summatusmentismost apps don't work on OPIE, because it's qt
21:46.26summatusmentisand 'most' is relative
21:46.32summatusmentisOPIE has apps for most everything
21:46.41summatusmentisjust not more 'well known' apps
21:46.53OPPbut for GPE
21:46.58OPPyou said you like X apps
21:47.01OPPso you prefer that
21:47.13ljpactually, you can install x/qt which runs an x server in a qtopiua window
21:47.31summatusmentisI don't use OPIE
21:47.41OPPso you CAN install x in opie?
21:47.48ljpsort of
21:47.52ljpx/qt
21:47.57OPPo
21:47.59summatusmentisI prefer GPE, because i like the idea of using things like firefox
21:48.17OPPbut you CAN install x in gpe
21:48.17ljpx/qt lets you run any x app
21:48.19ljpin a qtopia/opie window
21:48.32summatusmentiskind of like a vm?
21:48.44OPPso ljp, whats the best one
21:49.35ljpnot a vm.
21:49.46ljpwell, I am biased for opie/qtopia
21:50.01OPPso if you wanted to install like gaim, on opie
21:50.04OPPor firefox
21:50.07OPPyou could
21:50.12ljpsure.
21:50.14OPPbut they're not in the repository
21:50.57summatusmentisboth gaim and firefox are in the repos for GPE, which, afaik, are the same fo OPIE
21:51.21OPPo
21:51.23OPPneat
21:51.48summatusmentisfirefox is terribly slow on a 5500, but I don't know about the 3200
21:52.24OPPwhat do you use
21:52.25OPPdillo?
21:52.27JustinPsummatusmentis: 1000 is what CoreDump uses. AFAIK it works fine.
21:52.37JustinPsummatusmentis: I have a 3000 and it kicks ass ;-)
21:53.06summatusmentisJustinP, I'm used to size constraints of the 5500, which is why I ask
21:53.31JustinPsummatusmentis: sorry, I don't understand what the size constraints of the 5500 have to do with how well the 1000 works ;-)
21:53.50OPPJustinP:have you tried psx4zaurus emulator
21:54.02summatusmentisI didn't know if there were similar constraints, what w/ the 128MB
21:54.03JustinPsummatusmentis: I had a 5500 previously. It got fried by a bad power cable.
21:54.15JustinPOPP: eh? do you have a link?
21:54.25summatusmentisI understand that's way more than the 5500, but I didn't know how that compares
21:54.25ljpIMHO, opera is the best
21:54.46JustinPsummatusmentis: constraints such as? the 128MB is pretty good size for base OS at least. Like I said I have the 3000. ;-) I love the 4GB HD.
21:54.59OPPhttp://www.psx4all.net/
21:55.15summatusmentisok, thanks
21:55.59JustinPOPP: really.....never tried it. Is it open source? It looks like they're supporting Sharp ROM and Cacko (whichis modified Sharp). OZ is very different.
21:56.37OPPo
21:56.56OPPim very, very confused
21:57.15OPPcan you run opie from cacko?
21:57.19OPPor is that an OZ thing
21:57.30summatusmentisopie is OZ
21:57.41summatusmentisalthough cacko, and sharp, are also qt based
21:57.47OPPoo
21:57.50OPPdoes cacko use a repositroy
21:57.54OPPrepository
21:59.04JustinPCacko and Sharp use Sharp's qt gui. Opie is a replacement for it also built on qt. OZ also has GPE (X).
22:00.01JustinPhmmm...it's for pdaXrom....
22:00.13JustinPif it's open source and works on 2.6 kernel it could be added to OE....
22:00.43JustinPsh....bvdd....yeah, it's not going to work in OZ....at least not playably
22:00.53OPPi see
22:00.58JustinPlooks like it's written for 2.4 kernel, OZ uses 2.6
22:01.13OPPi see
22:01.16JustinPfaster for everything *but* graphics/movie playback at full screen
22:01.23JustinPbut it's being worked on
22:01.28summatusmentisJustinP, usually anyway :-/
22:01.35OPPi see
22:01.37summatusmentis2.6 that is
22:01.38JustinPIIRC some proper overlay support was added to the kernel but no libraries/programs support it yet
22:01.43OPPgod i want one of these little gadgets
22:01.48OPPwhere should i get oen
22:01.49OPPone
22:02.05JustinPdynamism.com is where I got mine
22:02.12summatusmentispricejapan.com is cheapest(I think)

22:02.30OPPthanks
22:02.39OPPo wait

22:02.44OPPso can Cacko run x11?
22:03.54OPPwow
22:03.56OPPthese arent cheap
22:04.16summatusmentisomg, way cheaper on pricejapan.com
22:05.52JustinPOPP: I can't find any source code, only builds.
22:06.08OPPi see
22:07.24OPPfor the sl-c1000

22:37.28OPPmainly*
22:39.09polyonymous_ah, thanks, that sounds like the word.
22:39.37polyonymous_OPP, ssh, reading books and keeping addressbook.
22:40.05OPPcool
22:40.27JustinPssh, notes, fooling around, a little web browsing, lots of music playing
22:40.59OPP:-D
22:41.02OPPhows battery life with music
22:41.05polyonymous_yeah, I forgot fooling around (whatever it is)

22:42.02polyonymous_I used to play music on palm before, but didn't have a chance to listen to it since I got Z.
22:42.04OPPthats good
22:42.23JustinPactually using it, with the screen on, I'd say around 4h
22:42.30OPPi think i like pdaXrom the best so far
22:42.30JustinPwith wifi you're looking at 2h
22:42.39JustinPremember there's GPE
22:42.42polyonymous_6-8 hours is a lot.
22:42.46JustinPGPE runs on X so yu can run whatever you want
22:42.55OPPya but i want that psx emulator :-D
22:43.09JustinPand OZ's build system is far ahead anyone else's (IMHO)
22:43.22JustinPwell, they said they're working on it
22:43.31JustinPbut hey, your choice, if you do get one
22:43.34polyonymous_Unfortunately, my experience with gpe and opie keeps me onthe opie side... Not that I'm excited about the state of the affairs in opie land.
22:44.00OPPcan't i swithc?
22:44.01OPPswitch
22:44.04OPPif i dont like it?
22:44.09polyonymous_you can.

22:52.09polyonymous_hvontres|poodle, Yes, thanks, JustinP has answered already.
22:53.04JustinPpolyonymous_: no, about GPE
22:53.34hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: how's the Z doing today?
22:53.41polyonymous_JustinP, ah.. Well, the worst of all is lack of something like opie-reader.
22:54.29polyonymous_JustinP, another thing is speed, but it's not that critical.
22:55.13polyonymous_JustinP, but this is why I keep saying that, not sure if this is what keeps the rest ;-)
22:55.30JustinPpolyonymous_: seems to run fast enough to me....and as for opie-reader, well, if we don't have a reader app of some kind it shouldn't be hard to get one in. It is X, after all. Find a good, simple reader on linux and cretae/ask for a bb file for it. ;-)
22:55.31Cyorxamphvontres|poodle, its back to the sharp rom
22:55.47Cyorxampmy SD card is completely bust after all the formatting me and kevin did last night
22:56.22polyonymous_JustinP, I did expect this answer. Well, you're totally right here and I wanted to say that the lack of reader is my fault when I mentioned it first.

22:57.29JustinPpolyonymous_: well, it's not your fault, per-se, but it's also not the developer's fault per-se either ;-). It's kind of a community fault. That's what's nice about Open Source. :-)
22:57.33hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: are you looking for a VNC server?
22:57.47polyonymous_JustinP, I didn't blame anyone! ;-)
22:57.49Cyorxampyeah, a nice ipkg package maybe?
22:58.09hvontres|poodleCyorxamp: for sharp rom, get fbvncserver from sdg.com
22:58.49Cyorxampthanx
22:59.05JustinPpolyonymous_: I realize that, just pointing it out for anyone listening.
22:59.38JustinPpolyonymous_: I'd be happy to try to make a bb file for some reader if you're not up to it. I just don'thave time to find something suitable. Hell, one might already be in OE but just not known.
22:59.44polyonymous_JustinP, ah, ok. Well, even thought I "keep saying" that about gpe, I don't mean doing any harm to the latter.

23:00.48polyonymous_JustinP, could be ;-) And, anyway, I also don't know of good readers for X since I never needed one. I may do some research on it when I get time. But I have to admit that opie-reader does its thing very well.
