00:00.54 | Cyorxamp | hang on, isn't that the same bloody file? |
00:01.15 | Cyorxamp | should I be using 3.5.4.1. on a Sl-5500 ? |
00:02.07 | CoreDump|afk | the do-not-use stuff should work just fine |
00:02.27 | Cyorxamp | well ive flashed it 3 times and it just hangs at the logo |
00:03.19 | Cyorxamp | hentges-gpe-image-collie_T1-RC1.tar.gz right? |
00:03.24 | lindenle | Cyorxamp: did you ever flash back to original rom? |
00:03.33 | Cyorxamp | lindenle, yup |
00:03.40 | Cyorxamp | that works fine |
00:03.43 | lindenle | k, sorry not following too close |
00:03.51 | lindenle | and before i di that my Z acted extremely strange |
00:03.59 | lindenle | with OZ |
00:04.05 | Cyorxamp | the Z always acts strange |
00:04.13 | lindenle | not mine ;) |
00:04.16 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: try flashing a bootstrap image to see if that even works |
00:04.34 | lindenle | could it be bad hardware |
00:04.41 | lindenle | or does it work with default rom |
00:04.52 | Cyorxamp | works with the original rom fine |
00:05.02 | lindenle | k |
00:05.05 | Cyorxamp | it's just OZ... never ever worked properly |
00:05.19 | CoreDump|afk | hvontres|poodle: give me a /tell when he gets too annoying again |
00:05.50 | Cyorxamp | CoreDump|afk, yes because being the creator of this mess you couldn't possibly know what the hell is wrong with it |
00:05.53 | Cyorxamp | go back to sleep :{P |
00:06.01 | Cyorxamp | o_O I gave myself a tash |
00:07.14 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: how long did you let the Z sit at the logo? Irc, the first boot can take a while |
00:07.30 | Cyorxamp | i gave it a couple of minutes |
00:07.43 | Cyorxamp | normally it just fires straight up asking for an altboot password |
00:08.10 | Cyorxamp | you 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 |
00:08.30 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: Which SD card do you have? |
00:08.44 | Cyorxamp | err its a samsung I think... a 512mb |
00:08.54 | Cyorxamp | it's the blue one :P |
00:09.00 | lindenle | did you check the md5 sums before flashing? |
00:09.14 | Cyorxamp | nope, but I have been thinking perhaps I should have |
00:09.22 | Cyorxamp | the hentges site is dreadfully slow |
00:09.37 | hvontres|poodle | wrong side of a DSL link :) |
00:10.04 | Cyorxamp | i think i've downloaded like 6 files now |
00:10.16 | kantlivelon1 | so does SNES work on Z? |
00:10.18 | Cyorxamp | both do_not_use ones and the others |
00:10.20 | Cyorxamp | GPE |
00:10.35 | CoreDump|afk | hentges.net has a pretty good uplink, peaks at 2.5Mega*Byte*/sec |
00:10.55 | Cyorxamp | i've got 29kb/sec on ur files |
00:11.19 | CoreDump|afk | something in between is causing that then. Server is in germany |
00:11.20 | Cyorxamp | and i'm an impatient fucker at 1am |
00:11.26 | hvontres|poodle | opps, my bad...I thought you were stuck behind a 128 KBps DSL |
00:11.38 | Cyorxamp | hvontres|poodle this line is 8mbps |
00:11.52 | hvontres|poodle | no, I meant hentges.net |
00:11.56 | Cyorxamp | oh |
00:11.57 | CoreDump|afk | hvontres|poodle: I am, the server is not =) |
00:12.18 | Cyorxamp | ok, can i list the files i have so far CoreDump|afk? |
00:12.19 | hvontres|poodle | ahh...I see, so just updating the server is hell then :) |
00:12.22 | Cyorxamp | that is, if ur not sleeping now |
00:12.27 | Cyorxamp | and your onboard with helping |
00:12.37 | Cyorxamp | you'll have my eternal begging and apologies if it works :P |
00:12.47 | CoreDump|afk | hvontres|poodle: indeed :\ |
00:12.58 | CoreDump|afk | well, post aways |
00:13.08 | Cyorxamp | cardfs-gpe-collie-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.1-gpe2.7-T1-RC1.bin |

00:13.20 | Cyorxamp | hentges-gpe-image-collie_T1.tar.gz |
00:13.42 | Cyorxamp | and it all looks as confusing as fuck... oh and i also have OSPACK (just incase) |
00:14.01 | Cyorxamp | CF at the ready and a blank ext2 formatted SD card at the ready |
00:15.09 | CoreDump|afk | extract initrd.bin from hentges-gpe-image-collie_T1-RC1.tar.gz and flash away |
00:15.20 | Cyorxamp | should I md5 sum check first? |
00:15.49 | kantlivelon1 | does jre work on GPE? |
00:16.00 | CoreDump|afk | can't hurt, but the tar.gz compression should -in theory - prevent anyone from extracting damaged files |
00:16.10 | Cyorxamp | ok well bugger it then |
00:16.14 | Cyorxamp | cant find the md5 tool anyways |
00:16.25 | kantlivelon1 | Cyorxamp: md5sum?? |
00:16.27 | CoreDump|afk | hvontres|poodle: http://hentges.net/tmp/screenshots/mhcln03/Bildschirmfoto-3.jpg ;) |
00:16.30 | Cyorxamp | yeah that fucker |
00:16.49 | Cyorxamp | oh and I need zImage on there too right? |
00:16.55 | Cyorxamp | 64-0 variety I have |
00:17.05 | CoreDump|afk | yep |
00:17.11 | Cyorxamp | should I md5sum check that? |
00:17.15 | Cyorxamp | its 891kb |
00:17.50 | CoreDump|afk | yeah |
00:17.55 | Cyorxamp | ok initrd.bin and zimage on the CF... should I put one of the bins on there? |
00:18.32 | Cyorxamp | like cardfs-gpe-collie-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.1-gpe2.7-T1-RC1.bin ? |
00:18.59 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: CoreDump|afk: phhhhtppppp :) |
00:19.14 | CoreDump|afk | Cyorxamp: that, too yes |
00:19.28 | Cyorxamp | CoreDump|afk, ok while flashing should i have the sd in or not? |
00:19.39 | CoreDump|afk | doesn't matter |
00:19.50 | Cyorxamp | ok flashing... |
00:19.58 | Cyorxamp | this is the exact setup I did before |
00:20.00 | lindenle | good luck!!!! |
00:20.42 | lindenle | IMHO OZ rocks!! |
00:21.04 | Cyorxamp | i hope whatever ends up on here works with my wifi adapter like the original one originally did before it had a fit |
00:21.14 | Cyorxamp | i reeeeeeally hate inexplicable problems |
00:22.07 | lindenle | agreed |
00:22.20 | Cyorxamp | CoreDump|afk, i wait till the lights go off... press the reset button again, turn back to normal battery mode, then turn it on - right? |
00:22.21 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: do you have a cf to pcmcia adapter and a laptop to see it the card isn't buggerd? |
00:22.40 | Cyorxamp | hvontres|poodle, i can try this using another CF card |
00:22.48 | Cyorxamp | but no... not got a PCMCIA adapter |
00:23.04 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: no, I meant the wlan card |
00:23.21 | Cyorxamp | ok the OZ logo is up - i'm timing it |
00:23.31 | Cyorxamp | hvontres|poodle, oh... well no pcmcia anyways |
00:23.38 | Cyorxamp | so theres no other way of testing it |
00:24.02 | Cyorxamp | 50 seconds |
00:24.05 | hvontres|poodle | any buddies with ipaqs or something of that ilk? |
00:24.30 | Cyorxamp | nope |
00:24.42 | Cyorxamp | 1:30 minutes |
00:25.09 | Cyorxamp | normally it asks me for an altboot password about now - surely? |
00:25.32 | Cyorxamp | 2:30 |
00:26.01 | Cyorxamp | CoreDump|afk, any ideas? |
00:26.32 | CoreDump|afk | not really and my collie is not with me ATM |
00:28.00 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: did you try removing both the cf and the sd cards? |
00:28.10 | Cyorxamp | removing them? |
00:28.16 | Cyorxamp | no both sd and cf are in atm |
00:28.34 | Cyorxamp | this will solve it |
00:28.40 | Cyorxamp | i remember doing something like this last time |
00:29.06 | hvontres|poodle | remove cards, reboot, see if it comes up, tell it not to look for cardfs, shut down, insert cards, restart... |
00:29.07 | Cyorxamp | noep maybe not - wishful thinking |
00:29.24 | Cyorxamp | hvontres|poodle, it aint even getting past showin the OZ logo |
00:29.31 | Cyorxamp | theres buggery else on the screen |
00:30.02 | hvontres|poodle | get dinner, come back to see if something hapend??? |
00:30.19 | Cyorxamp | its 1:30am |
00:31.39 | Cyorxamp | well the md5 checks out on the do_not_use init thingy and the cardfs bin file |
00:31.44 | Cyorxamp | maybe the zImage is fucked |
00:31.55 | Cyorxamp | anyone got a link to get that from? |

00:39.41 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: When was the last time you had the original sharp rom on there? |
00:39.43 | Cyorxamp | might have an idea what could be wrong |
00:39.55 | Cyorxamp | hvontres|poodle, maybe an hour or so ago - worked fine |
00:40.46 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: So what is your latest diagnosis? |
00:41.07 | Cyorxamp | my button on the back being at the wrong position |
00:41.14 | Cyorxamp | the replace battery switch |
00:41.26 | Cyorxamp | doing it properly paying close attention now |
00:41.26 | hvontres|poodle | DOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH |
00:41.48 | Cyorxamp | cover is off... replace battery is ON... reflashing |
00:42.05 | Cyorxamp | when its done i'll press full reset , put cover back on and flip switch |
00:42.10 | Cyorxamp | then turn on.... right? |
00:42.29 | hvontres|poodle | I think so....I have only done poodle so far. |
00:42.39 | Cyorxamp | ok i see oz logo |
00:42.51 | Cyorxamp | and again... nada |
00:42.57 | hvontres|poodle | does collie show progress indicator while flashing? |
00:43.04 | Cyorxamp | nope |
00:43.23 | Cyorxamp | just the mail light goes green while its doing it |
00:43.42 | hvontres|poodle | hmmm, too bad. the poodle tells you what it is doing. |
00:43.59 | Cyorxamp | ok im sick of this - i'd try a normal OZ image if the site was up |
00:44.05 | hvontres|poodle | I think your initrd might not be flashing correctly. |
00:44.20 | Cyorxamp | initrd.bin ? |
00:44.31 | Cyorxamp | well the md5 sum is fine |
00:45.05 | hvontres|poodle | which updater.sh are you using? |
00:45.15 | Cyorxamp | which who what where when how? |
00:45.34 | hvontres|poodle | on the cf card, there should be a file called updater.sh |
00:45.39 | Cyorxamp | nope |
00:46.03 | Cyorxamp | theres initrd.bin, zImage, and cardfs-gpe-collie-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.1-gpe2.7-T1-RC1.bin |
00:46.24 | Cyorxamp | never heard of a updater.sh |
00:47.30 | Cyorxamp | gonna try the normal OZ bootstrap image |
00:48.08 | Cyorxamp | actually I have another collie here i can try things on too |
00:48.28 | Cyorxamp | will try what I just did on this one... on that one |
00:49.24 | hvontres|poodle | the wiki is still up: http://openzaurus.berlios.de/Collie/Install |
00:49.43 | Cyorxamp | i know how to flash |

00:50.28 | hvontres|poodle | sorry, updater.sh is for poodle... my bad |

01:09.50 | agaffney | there are a *lot* of APs around my apartment |
01:09.51 | kantlivelong | its evil.. |
01:09.57 | agaffney | I took the collie on a walk |
01:10.00 | summatusmentis | my 5500 is really terrible at scanning, but then again, it's terrible at a lot of things, because of hardware constraints |
01:10.03 | kantlivelong | agaffney: same here... around 50 |
01:10.03 | agaffney | it froze up after ~10 minutes |
01:10.23 | kantlivelong | so what card would u guys recommend? |
01:11.01 | summatusmentis | My spectrum24 works well |
01:11.09 | kantlivelong | summatusmentis: for cracking? |
01:11.16 | summatusmentis | although I don't do any of that stuff |
01:11.21 | summatusmentis | but for wifi it's solid |
01:11.36 | kantlivelong | hmm |
01:13.13 | summatusmentis | what kind of stuff do you need? |
01:13.59 | kantlivelong | summatusmentis: B and injection support would be nice |
01:14.32 | summatusmentis | mmmm.... |
01:14.42 | summatusmentis | are you still looking at PCMCIA? |
01:15.38 | kantlivelong | summatusmentis: CF is fine |
01:16.16 | summatusmentis | when I was looking at purchasing a wifi card, I wasn't looking for injection, just compatability, so I don't really know |
01:16.40 | kantlivelong | ah ok |
01:17.02 | summatusmentis | but search around |
01:17.26 | summatusmentis | the linksys are supposed to work, the symbol spectrum24s work |
01:17.39 | Cyorxamp | ok.... ive got further now |
01:17.52 | Cyorxamp | ive just put the filesystem on my ext2 SD card |
01:17.55 | summatusmentis | I think netgear works(certain models), and the SanDisk wifi/128MB storage works, but only for one of the options |
01:17.58 | Cyorxamp | and told altboot to boot the SD |
01:18.12 | Cyorxamp | No INIT found on target |
01:18.23 | Cyorxamp | No boot-images found in .... blah blah blah |
01:18.29 | Cyorxamp | ERROR nothing to do |
01:18.35 | Cyorxamp | so what should -I- do ? |
01:18.55 | Cyorxamp | should I set the ext2 partition on the SD card as a bootable one? |
01:19.25 | agaffney | Cyorxamp: when I did my loopback install on SD, I had to create the loopback with my laptop and a card reader |
01:19.43 | agaffney | because I kept getting weird errors when I created it from altboot |
01:19.48 | agaffney | I/O errors and such |
01:19.56 | agaffney | as loopback or ext2 directly on the card |
01:19.58 | Cyorxamp | your talking in riddles |
01:20.05 | Cyorxamp | i dont have a fucking clue what you mean |
01:20.08 | agaffney | but it worked fine when I created the image with my laptop |
01:20.15 | Cyorxamp | yet you continue to talk, i hate you |
01:20.24 | agaffney | o_O |
01:20.39 | Cyorxamp | i hate everyone, don't take offense by it |
01:20.42 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, what did you put on your SD? |
01:20.53 | Cyorxamp | the contents of hentges-gpe-image-collie_T1-3.5.4.1-rc4-collie.rootfs.tar |
01:21.35 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: from linux or windows? |
01:21.39 | Cyorxamp | linux |
01:21.55 | Cyorxamp | extracted using file-roller |

01:23.54 | agaffney | an image with altboot should be flashed to the internal memory |
01:24.09 | Cyorxamp | yeah I have bootstrap flashed on it |

01:27.01 | Cyorxamp | is that the problem? |
01:27.05 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: no |
01:27.12 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: altboot can also boot a loopback image |
01:27.24 | Cyorxamp | well what on earth is wrong with this then?> |
01:27.25 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: did you try having altboot create a loopback image on your card? |
01:27.36 | kantlivelong | will type 1 CFs work in a type 2 slot? |
01:27.40 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: do you have an sbin/init on your card? |
01:27.46 | Cyorxamp | JustinP, yeah ages ago and it never bloody works |
01:27.46 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: is it executable? |
01:27.56 | JustinP | kantlivelong: yes |
01:28.05 | kantlivelong | JustinP: ty |
01:28.50 | Cyorxamp | hmm is it me or did file-roller copy bugegr all |
01:28.56 | Cyorxamp | this is madness |
01:30.15 | Cyorxamp | ok... what things need to be executable JustinP? |
01:30.28 | Cyorxamp | all i've done is copy the files to the ext2 SD card |
01:30.47 | Cyorxamp | ull have to remind me which command to use as well cuz i forgot :P |
01:30.53 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: I don't know anything about "file-roller" |
01:31.00 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: I suggest you try "tar" |
01:31.04 | Cyorxamp | u dont need to... that bit is done |
01:31.07 | agaffney | file-roller is the gnome archiving app, iirc |
01:31.09 | Cyorxamp | move on... :P |
01:31.39 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: I can't just tell you what files need to be executable. It's a *lot* and it's in the tarball. |
01:32.02 | Cyorxamp | oh ffs |
01:32.56 | Cyorxamp | ok the SD is empty again now |
01:33.05 | Cyorxamp | i'll let the zaurus fill it |
01:36.27 | agaffney | that's what I was saying before doesn't work right from the latest OZ and hentges images |
01:36.37 | agaffney | at least on collie |
01:37.04 | agaffney | altboot messes up creating the ext2 filesystem directly on the card and the loopback filesystem |
01:37.05 | Cyorxamp | oh ffs thats not working now |
01:37.10 | agaffney | you get I/O errors and such |
01:37.13 | Cyorxamp | yeah it does |
01:37.34 | agaffney | but it worked fine for me when I created my loopback image from my linux laptop using a card reader |
01:37.50 | Cyorxamp | well i dont want a loopback image |
01:37.54 | Cyorxamp | i want a direct install |
01:38.06 | agaffney | you can do a direct install that way, too :P |
01:38.06 | Cyorxamp | i dont even know how the fuck the loopback supposed to work |
01:38.20 | Cyorxamp | agaffney, are you blind? i've been trying that for hours |
01:38.32 | Cyorxamp | JustinP, just told me that i need to have some of them as executables |
01:38.39 | agaffney | apparently not correctly ;) |
01:38.44 | Cyorxamp | BUT! in magical wisdom doesnt know which ones |
01:38.53 | agaffney | if some of them aren't executable, the tarball is messed up or you're extracting it wrong |
01:39.02 | agaffney | he didn't say he didn't know |
01:39.07 | agaffney | he said there are a *lot* of them |
01:39.25 | Cyorxamp | well it extracts fine from file-roller so i dont know why he even mentioned it |
01:39.40 | Cyorxamp | look i just want this fucker working |
01:39.58 | Cyorxamp | i've been trying for like a month now - this is getting old |
01:40.38 | *** join/#openzaurus wayne (n=laurent@laurent.ca) |
01:40.38 | agaffney | if none of the files are executable, then it's not extracting fine from file roller |
01:40.45 | agaffney | use `tar` by hand |
01:40.46 | Cyorxamp | well I presume they were! |
01:40.57 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: stop presuming and look at it |
01:40.58 | Cyorxamp | doesnt matter now the SD is empty again |
01:41.09 | Cyorxamp | and direct install failed |
01:41.22 | agaffney | yes, I told you it would fail |
01:41.31 | agaffney | it failed on mine |
01:41.32 | Cyorxamp | well WHY! |
01:41.36 | Cyorxamp | WHY does the fucker fail? |
01:41.37 | agaffney | and it failed on someone else's collie |
01:41.46 | Cyorxamp | ive got 2 collies here and it does the same on both |
01:41.57 | agaffney | because there's something subtly broken in the images :P |
01:42.09 | agaffney | perhaps it's mke2fs |
01:42.12 | agaffney | dunno |
01:42.18 | agaffney | I haven't looked too far into it |
01:42.49 | Cyorxamp | loopback image making fails too |
01:42.49 | Cyorxamp | it just comes back saying FAILED! |
01:42.49 | agaffney | yes, I told you that as well |
01:42.57 | Cyorxamp | well I have tried both methods - so thats it? |
01:43.04 | Cyorxamp | its fucked? never gonna work? is that the idea? |
01:43.45 | agaffney | you've already been told how to do it |
01:43.52 | Cyorxamp | no i have not |
01:43.56 | agaffney | use a regular computer and `tar` |
01:44.04 | Cyorxamp | how the hell do u use tar! |
01:44.08 | agaffney | ... |
01:44.20 | agaffney | man tar |
01:44.36 | Cyorxamp | what command does the zaurus try and use? |
01:44.49 | agaffney | tar usage is typically considered among basic *nix knowledge |
01:45.01 | agaffney | don't piss and moan...learn |
01:45.03 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: 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 |
01:45.26 | Cyorxamp | tar -xzf source -C destination |
01:45.28 | Cyorxamp | right |
01:45.34 | agaffney | indeed, I've only tried the loopback method that way |
01:45.40 | agaffney | never direct to filesystem |
01:45.45 | agaffney | but it shouldn't make a difference |
01:46.06 | JustinP | loopback is generally what "we" use anyway, so I would be surprised if non-loopback failed in some strange way |
01:46.11 | Cyorxamp | ok well this aint a tar.gz its just the tar |
01:46.15 | Cyorxamp | whats the command for that? |
01:46.23 | JustinP | get rid of the z |
01:46.26 | Cyorxamp | k |
01:46.28 | JustinP | again, "man tar" |
01:46.34 | JustinP | you can figure this out yourself |
01:46.48 | Cyorxamp | ok place ur bets on paypal.com |
01:46.50 | agaffney | and why is it just a .tar? |
01:46.55 | Cyorxamp | this wont fucking work.... u watch! |
01:47.33 | Cyorxamp | I WIN! |
01:47.37 | Cyorxamp | pay up! |
01:47.49 | Cyorxamp | exactly the same god damn message |
01:48.04 | Cyorxamp | theres nothing wrong with file-roller... probably uses fucking tar anyway |
01:48.05 | agaffney | where did you get the .tar file? iirc, the file on the mirrors is .tar.gz |
01:48.22 | Cyorxamp | i extracted the tar from the .tar.gz using 7zip on windows |
01:48.34 | agaffney | ... |
01:48.38 | agaffney | why? |
01:49.00 | Cyorxamp | because it was downloaded on my windows box and shared via my samba share to my linux box |
01:49.10 | Cyorxamp | so while i was there i extracted the tar to share |
01:49.11 | agaffney | altboot is failing to create your image because you don't have the proper file |
01:49.18 | agaffney | it looks for something named *rootfs.tar.gz |
01:49.22 | Cyorxamp | no the .tar.gz is on the CF card |
01:49.23 | Cyorxamp | jeez |
01:49.23 | agaffney | to create the filesystem |
01:49.35 | Cyorxamp | this is just the file I am using to untar on my linux box |
01:49.39 | Cyorxamp | get a grip |
01:49.40 | agaffney | use the original .tar.gz |
01:49.40 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: did you create a *loopback image*? |
01:49.54 | Cyorxamp | JustinP, someone has yet to explain what the hell one of those is |
01:50.22 | Cyorxamp | ok im mkfs'ing again |
01:50.30 | Cyorxamp | then i'll re untar |
01:51.03 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: you need to ask to learn. If you continue to act immaturely I doubt you'll get any help at all. |
01:51.25 | Cyorxamp | very nice... go cower away from the problem |
01:51.37 | agaffney | it's your problem, not mine |
01:51.41 | agaffney | my collie works fine |
01:51.46 | kantlivelong | ugh can we just kick him |
01:51.46 | Cyorxamp | and you don't have a fucking clue |
01:52.30 | Cyorxamp | well you don't do you! |
01:52.39 | Cyorxamp | we have tried everything asked of me and it still dont work |
01:52.45 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: you obviously have no clue.. |
01:53.30 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: ur whining about something as simple as tar.. go RTFM |
01:53.38 | Cyorxamp | TAR works fine |
01:53.50 | Cyorxamp | EVERYTHING has been done according to INSTRUCTIONS (or lack thereof) |
01:54.02 | Cyorxamp | and yet funny isn't it how it still DOES NOT WORK |
01:54.14 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: then your doing something wrong |
01:54.34 | Cyorxamp | no im not... we have been over this a dozen times already |
01:54.45 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: then give up |
01:56.09 | Cyorxamp | ok JustinP, kantlivelong, agaffney.... i have used the .tar.gz this time |
01:56.19 | Cyorxamp | who's betting it wont make fuck all difference? |
01:56.33 | agaffney | you never know wtf 7zip did to the file |
01:56.41 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: whos betting i dont care anymore.. |
01:56.55 | Cyorxamp | again... nothing |
01:57.03 | Cyorxamp | absolutely no difference at all |
01:57.14 | Cyorxamp | this is supposed to be an ext2 sd card right? |
01:57.22 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: look up loopback images online |
01:57.39 | Cyorxamp | JustinP, i don't want a god damn loopback image |

02:23.13 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, maybe this is a stupid question, but are you sure you're supposed to extract? |
02:23.26 | Cyorxamp | i.e. tar ? |
02:23.57 | summatusmentis | yes, are you supposed to extract the files? or leave it as a *.tar.gz? |

02:26.10 | Kevin` | but only if I compile the kernel myself :) |
02:26.12 | joshin | such appreciation |
02:27.34 | joshin | So why is alt-boot not an acceptable solution? |
02:27.52 | Cyorxamp | bollox to this i'll write coredump an email |
02:27.59 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/docs/altboot.shtml <-- have you seen that? |
02:28.00 | Cyorxamp | joshin, ur not even on the same page it seems |
02:28.28 | joshin | Nope, my Zaurus works fine with alt-boot and I no longer suffer corrupted sdcards |
02:29.29 | Cyorxamp | summatusmentis, joshin.... I don't want a loopback image |
02:29.42 | joshin | Why not? |
02:29.45 | Cyorxamp | this is a 'Direct Install' i,e. the filesystem is actually on the SD card |
02:30.23 | summatusmentis | right, you want a 'real filesystem' on the SD |
02:30.28 | Cyorxamp | yeah |
02:30.44 | Cyorxamp | it seems to look for the INIT thingy and says its not there (when it is) |
02:30.50 | joshin | Yeah 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. |
02:30.52 | Cyorxamp | then it looks for the boot-image which isnt there |
02:31.00 | Cyorxamp | but its not supposed to me |
02:31.01 | Cyorxamp | *be |
02:31.07 | summatusmentis | ah, ok |
02:31.16 | Cyorxamp | joshin, either help in the task I am trying to accomplish or stfu |
02:31.19 | summatusmentis | can I ask why you're against a loopback image? |
02:31.34 | JustinP | because he doesn't understand what he's talking about |
02:31.41 | Cyorxamp | because I want to treat the SD card a permanent HDD-like for the zaurus |
02:31.43 | JustinP | and he doesn't listen |
02:31.49 | Cyorxamp | i.e. not to be removed |
02:31.59 | joshin | summatusmentis, because he is a pathetic little weasel who's mommy never told him no. |
02:32.00 | Cyorxamp | i figure a direct install will be quicker |
02:32.36 | Cyorxamp | AND! it an option presented on alt-boot...so i expect it to fucking work |
02:33.25 | summatusmentis | I'm gonna assume you have a relatively solid background w/ linux? |
02:33.34 | Cyorxamp | not solid but getting there |
02:33.43 | Cyorxamp | shoot |
02:35.19 | Cyorxamp | /sbin/init.sysvinit DOES exist on the SD card despite what altboot says |
02:36.00 | Cyorxamp | im no expert in file attributes here (well on linux anyways) |
02:36.07 | Cyorxamp | but on an LS (on my ubuntu box) of the sbin |
02:36.19 | Cyorxamp | init shows up as red and init.sysvinit as green |
02:36.29 | Cyorxamp | does init.sysvinit need to be red like init? |

02:37.36 | joshin | Nah, this is too much fun. :) |
02:37.36 | Cyorxamp | #reactos is calling for their village idiot |
02:39.08 | joshin | Cyorxamp, It is a shame you can neither listen, nor act like a civil human being. If you could, your Zaurus would have been working fine an hour ago. |
02:39.21 | Cyorxamp | Bollox would it |
02:39.28 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, http://www.oesf.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t20444.html |
02:39.31 | Cyorxamp | I have tried EVERY little fucking thing anyone has said |
02:39.37 | Cyorxamp | joshin, your just a troll... so fuck off |
02:39.45 | joshin | Did you try loopback? |
02:39.53 | joshin | Did you try to understand the error you got? |
02:39.54 | Cyorxamp | NO! Because loopback IS NOT THE GOAL |
02:39.57 | Cyorxamp | YOU FUCKTARD |
02:40.08 | joshin | Your goal is wrong. |
02:40.13 | Cyorxamp | Get fucked |
02:40.28 | Kevin` | loopback shouldn't be the goal |
02:40.36 | Kevin` | loopback is a hack, and not really what he wants |
02:40.41 | Cyorxamp | exactly |
02:41.35 | Cyorxamp | lost the will to speak joshin? |
02:41.36 | joshin | Kevin`, problem is that the SD driver for Collie is so buggy that using a non-loopback root will cause corruption. |
02:41.50 | joshin | Especially if you mount the sd-card async for the best performance. |
02:42.09 | Kevin` | how would using loop help that at all |
02:42.16 | joshin | Take a look at the IRC logs from about a year ago when MickeyL and I spent days on it. |
02:42.32 | Cyorxamp | yeah exactly Kevin` |
02:42.50 | joshin | Kevin`, because it is a stupid hack that doesn't hit the sd-driver the same way. |
02:42.51 | Kevin` | joshin what happens if you create a loop device from the entire drive? |
02:43.08 | Cyorxamp | which is what i'd end up in doing anyway |
02:43.11 | Kevin` | losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcwhatever |
02:43.13 | *** join/#openzaurus polyonymous_ (i=hacker@pD953805C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
02:43.14 | joshin | Kevin`, that works fine. |
02:43.17 | Cyorxamp | why have a 512mb sd card if u dont use 512mb of it |
02:43.25 | Kevin` | that seems like a usuable solution |
02:43.50 | joshin | It is how my Collie is currently setup and I have gcc, mysql, apache, and python on it. |
02:43.52 | Cyorxamp | i dont want a damn loopback file |
02:44.03 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp why? |
02:44.21 | Cyorxamp | i 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 |
02:44.37 | Kevin` | then create a loop device using the entire sd card, or the partition |
02:44.42 | Kevin` | that won't affect how files are stored |
02:44.45 | Cyorxamp | a loopback image is just the extra piece of shit |
02:44.52 | Cyorxamp | I don't want to have to 'partition' the thing |
02:44.53 | Kevin` | (do the partition, not the whole device) |
02:44.57 | Kevin` | um |
02:45.03 | joshin | "modprobe loopback ; mount -o loop /dev/sd? /mnt/sdcard2" is too hard? |
02:45.03 | Kevin` | sd cards are normally partitioned |
02:45.09 | Cyorxamp | that means deciding how much for this and that |
02:45.09 | Kevin` | windows won't read it if it's not |
02:45.40 | Cyorxamp | ive partitioned this one |
02:45.40 | Kevin` | why not make it all one partition |
02:45.42 | Kevin` | like it probably came from the store |
02:45.45 | Cyorxamp | type 83 (linux) mkfs formatted it to ext2 |
02:46.14 | Cyorxamp | then I untarred the contents |
02:46.22 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp have init make a loop device from /dev/mmc0p1 (or whatever it's called) then mount that |
02:46.32 | Cyorxamp | NO! |
02:46.32 | Kevin` | that won't change at all how the files are stored on the drive |
02:46.35 | Kevin` | why? |
02:46.39 | Cyorxamp | I dont want a FUCKING LOOPBACK! |
02:46.41 | Kevin` | why? |
02:46.46 | Cyorxamp | I have already said whY! |
02:46.55 | Kevin` | because you can't use all the space then |
02:46.57 | Kevin` | which isn't true |
02:47.09 | Cyorxamp | because I'd have to decide how much for each area |
02:47.13 | Kevin` | sigh |
02:47.18 | Kevin` | no, you DON'T |
02:47.22 | Cyorxamp | I WOULD! |
02:47.28 | Kevin` | all you would be doing |
02:47.29 | Cyorxamp | THE LOOPBACK FILE HAS TO BE OF A CERTAIN SIZE |
02:47.38 | Cyorxamp | I.E. 384mb/512mb |
02:47.42 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp the loopback file can be a RAW DEVICE |
02:47.50 | Kevin` | like the entire sd card, or a partition on it |
02:47.59 | Cyorxamp | But then it cant be read on linux! |
02:48.10 | Kevin` | that's simply incorrect. |
02:48.26 | Cyorxamp | well what the fuck is the difference between that and what im doing now!? |
02:48.37 | Kevin` | it won't break the driver? |
02:48.38 | Cyorxamp | i cant just pop the fucker in and ubuntu to just mount it can I? |
02:48.55 | Kevin` | the only difference it's it's going through another layer as a loop device |
02:49.07 | Kevin` | it's normally a useless thing to do, but in this case works with the buggy driver |
02:49.13 | Cyorxamp | loopbacks have to be files found at /media/card/boot-images/ |
02:49.21 | Kevin` | that is incorrect |
02:49.21 | Cyorxamp | i see NO MENTION of ruddy raw shits |
02:49.51 | Kevin` | by the way, you can use loopback images in ubuntu too |
02:49.53 | Kevin` | it's a linux thing |
02:49.55 | Cyorxamp | this is supposed to work as a proper filesystem on ext2 |
02:49.56 | Kevin` | not an OZ thing |
02:49.58 | Cyorxamp | so I expet it to work |
02:50.23 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp if you actually understood what i'm telling you to do you wouldn't be complaining |
02:50.24 | Kevin` | :/ |
02:50.47 | Cyorxamp | I understand it fine and I don't want to do it that way |
02:50.52 | Kevin` | why? |
02:50.56 | Cyorxamp | I want what is advetised to WORK |
02:51.04 | Kevin` | you think you need to use some special file or format |
02:51.10 | Kevin` | and it won't work with normal systems |
02:51.12 | Kevin` | that's not true |
02:51.18 | Cyorxamp | no i know all that |
02:51.23 | Cyorxamp | but i still dont give a flying fuck |
02:51.30 | Kevin` | suit yourself, have it not work. |
02:51.33 | Cyorxamp | I want it to work the way it was originally advertised in the fucking first place |
02:51.59 | Cyorxamp | not spend another 8 fuckin days learning someone else fucked up plan on how to cock this thing up even more |
02:52.03 | Kevin` | couldn't he use an old kernel with the original SD driver? |
02:52.11 | Cyorxamp | im not changing my direction AGAIN |
02:52.27 | joshin | He's stuck at 2.4.18 |
02:52.38 | joshin | Anyone that wants the SD card to work is stuck there. |
02:53.00 | Kevin` | is that using an oss driver then? |
02:53.19 | Cyorxamp | Answer me this simple question.... |
02:53.34 | joshin | Until someone figures out how to reverse engineer the sdcard driver for collie, collie is pretty much a dead platform. |
02:53.46 | Cyorxamp | I have the file it wants '/sbin/init.sysvinit' on the SD card.... WHY cant it see it? |
02:54.16 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp start with init=/bin/sh and try to do the steps to mount the sd card as root yourself |
02:54.22 | Kevin` | perhaps the reason will become obvious |
02:54.29 | Cyorxamp | it already IS mounted! |
02:54.51 | Kevin` | so pivot_root to the sd card and run init |
02:55.15 | Cyorxamp | what!? |
02:55.19 | Kevin` | :/ |
02:55.28 | Cyorxamp | look.... i get... |
02:55.29 | Cyorxamp | Note: No INIT [/sbin/init.sysvinit] found on target |
02:55.29 | Cyorxamp | Note: No boot-images found in [/media/card/boot-images] |
02:55.29 | Cyorxamp | ERROR: Nothing to do! |
02:55.29 | Cyorxamp | /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off |
02:55.30 | Cyorxamp | /etc/altboot-menu # |
02:55.33 | Cyorxamp | then what? |
02:55.49 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp cat /proc/mounts |
02:56.16 | Cyorxamp | ok i see it mounted in the list |
02:56.31 | Kevin` | what all is mounted |
02:56.47 | Cyorxamp | ? |
02:57.03 | Kevin` | read off the list of filesystems |
02:57.20 | Cyorxamp | /dev/mmcda1 /media/card ext2 rw,noatime 0 0 |
02:57.41 | Cyorxamp | /dev/root / jffs2 rw 0 0 |
02:57.58 | Cyorxamp | /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 |
02:58.13 | Cyorxamp | ramfs /dev ramfs rw 0 0 |
02:58.16 | joshin | Cyorxamp, alt-boot is a freaking shellscript. You should be able to read it and figure out where it is not working for you. |
02:58.28 | Cyorxamp | thats all I get Kevin` |
02:58.29 | Kevin` | cd /media/card |
02:58.32 | Kevin` | umount /proc |
02:58.42 | Cyorxamp | theres nothing in /media/card Kevin` |
02:58.46 | Kevin` | Oh |
02:58.48 | Kevin` | that's.. odd |
02:58.53 | Kevin` | don't do what I said then |
02:58.55 | Kevin` | hm |
02:58.57 | Cyorxamp | havent |
02:59.03 | Kevin` | umount /media/card |
02:59.20 | Cyorxamp | done |
02:59.22 | Kevin` | mount -o loop /dev/mmcda1 /media/card -t ext2 |
02:59.32 | Kevin` | ls /media/card |
03:00.03 | Cyorxamp | invalid argyument |
03:00.32 | Kevin` | dmesg |
03:00.48 | Cyorxamp | the last item says.... unable to read superblock |
03:01.14 | Kevin` | losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1 |
03:01.21 | Kevin` | less /dev/loop0 |
03:01.48 | Kevin` | hm, while where at it, do alt+sysrq+9 |
03:01.56 | Kevin` | if you know what the sysrq key is.. I don't |
03:02.02 | Cyorxamp | i did 'losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1' |
03:02.11 | Cyorxamp | now what? |
03:02.19 | Kevin` | less /dev/loop0 - try to read it |
03:02.32 | Cyorxamp | less? |
03:02.35 | Cyorxamp | theres no command called less |
03:02.52 | Kevin` | dd if=/dev/loop0 count=1|hexdump |
03:03.15 | Kevin` | cmon, have some useful commands thing :) |
03:03.22 | Cyorxamp | what!? |
03:03.29 | Cyorxamp | youve totally lost me |
03:03.35 | Cyorxamp | <Cyorxamp> i did 'losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1' |
03:03.35 | Cyorxamp | <Cyorxamp> now what? |
03:03.45 | Kevin` | all I want to do is read from /dev/loop0 |
03:03.53 | Cyorxamp | thats nice but what do I type? |
03:03.54 | Kevin` | if you feel brave you could just cat /dev/loop0 |
03:04.05 | Kevin` | this will mess up the terminal, and stop when you press ctrl+c |
03:04.14 | Kevin` | (if it works, that is) |
03:04.25 | Cyorxamp | cat returns nothing |
03:04.33 | Kevin` | dmesg again |
03:04.45 | Cyorxamp | unknown partition table |
03:05.00 | Kevin` | echo /dev/mmcd* |
03:05.07 | Kevin` | what's the name of the full device |
03:05.32 | Cyorxamp | well theres /dev/mmcda /dev/mmcda1 and /dev/mmcda2 |
03:05.32 | Kevin` | oh, and do you have the device partitioned? |
03:05.42 | Kevin` | the sd card |
03:05.42 | Cyorxamp | i paritioned it using fdisk on linux |
03:05.44 | Kevin` | ok |
03:05.53 | Cyorxamp | 1 primary parition... type 83 |
03:05.53 | Kevin` | hexdump </dev/mmcda |
03:06.00 | Cyorxamp | then i did a mkfs -t ext2 |
03:06.11 | Kevin` | mkfs -t ext2 what? |
03:06.20 | Cyorxamp | /dev/sda1 |
03:06.23 | Kevin` | k |
03:06.49 | Kevin` | someone who knows how to get.. anything working on this silly driver, help would be appreciated :) |
03:06.53 | Cyorxamp | ok hexdump has alot of shit |
03:07.10 | Cyorxamp | it just keeps coming and coming |
03:07.15 | Kevin` | and the same from mmcda1 returns nothing? |
03:07.20 | Kevin` | press ctrl+c to stop it |
03:07.31 | Cyorxamp | there is no ctrl |
03:07.47 | Kevin` | what key is mapped to the control key on collie? |
03:07.56 | Cyorxamp | i dunno! |
03:08.25 | Kevin` | i'm asking the channel |
03:08.46 | Cyorxamp | well while were waiting, du think were getting anywhere? |
03:08.58 | Kevin` | well that it can read the device at all is a good thing |
03:09.10 | Cyorxamp | and this mess means it can |
03:09.17 | Kevin` | yes |
03:09.20 | summatusmentis | Kevin`, I think it's the calendar key |
03:09.22 | Cyorxamp | should I not have used fdisk to partition it? |
03:09.34 | Cyorxamp | tried that summatusmentis |
03:09.37 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp it's standard to do that.. I would have in your place too |
03:10.00 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp although there's technically no reason you HAVE to partition it |
03:10.06 | Cyorxamp | Kevin`, actually I used fdisk in the beginning but I think i used cfdisk for this one |
03:10.10 | Kevin` | if it works without partitioning, I wouldn't complain |
03:10.11 | Cyorxamp | but cfdisk uses fdisk anyway i trhink |
03:10.33 | Cyorxamp | so should I mkfs on /dev/sda instead of sda1 ? |
03:10.40 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, worked for me |
03:10.52 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp worth a try |
03:11.02 | Cyorxamp | ok... will give it a go |
03:11.04 | Kevin` | but keep in mind, everything expects it to be partitioned :) |
03:11.12 | Kevin` | in linux you won't have much of a problem though |
03:11.21 | Cyorxamp | well what will i have an issue with? |
03:11.36 | Kevin` | windows, and any automounting scripts in linux maybe |
03:11.40 | Cyorxamp | i mean windows/dos cant read ext2 anyways |
03:11.55 | Kevin` | you can get drivers to do that |
03:11.56 | Kevin` | in windows |
03:12.07 | Cyorxamp | yeah i already use ext2fsd but thats for hdd's |
03:12.16 | Cyorxamp | cant find anything for card readers |
03:12.18 | Kevin` | it doesn't work for sd? |
03:12.23 | Kevin` | should tell the author |
03:12.36 | Cyorxamp | nah u have to state which primary/logical parition on ur hd |
03:12.44 | Cyorxamp | its not a bug... just not a feature |
03:12.55 | Cyorxamp | windows has no /dev remember? |
03:12.57 | Kevin` | it's a bug imo if it doesn't read usb devices |
03:13.08 | Cyorxamp | theres no way to reference it |
03:13.15 | Kevin` | yes there is |
03:13.23 | Cyorxamp | well not from I can tell |
03:13.31 | Cyorxamp | anyways it off topic |
03:13.35 | Kevin` | oh, it's not obvious, but it's there |
03:13.43 | Cyorxamp | should I mkfs the whole thing then and untar again? |
03:13.54 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp worth a try.. |
03:14.05 | Cyorxamp | ok, what were u gonna try if i dont try that? |
03:14.15 | Cyorxamp | i.e. where were u going - after the hexdump |
03:14.23 | Cyorxamp | which is still dumping as we speak |
03:14.24 | Kevin` | was going to try the same thing on the partition |
03:14.41 | Kevin` | heh just unplug it, the worst it will do is crash the device |
03:15.15 | Cyorxamp | :( |
03:15.29 | Cyorxamp | i wanna know where ctrl is! |
03:15.36 | Cyorxamp | calander+c doesn't work |
03:15.36 | Kevin` | so do I |
03:16.10 | Cyorxamp | ok shall i reboot into altboot again? |
03:16.16 | Cyorxamp | and we can hexdump the other thing? |
03:16.20 | Kevin` | boot into init=/bin/sh |
03:16.58 | Cyorxamp | done |
03:17.17 | Kevin` | ya go ahead and see if you can read the partition the same way |
03:17.31 | Cyorxamp | mount it? |
03:17.35 | Kevin` | no |
03:17.39 | Cyorxamp | cuz theres nothing in /media/card |
03:17.52 | Kevin` | do hexdump </dev/mmcda1 |
03:18.13 | Kevin` | I suppose if nobody knows what the ctrl key is, also nobody knows what the sysrq key for collie is? |
03:18.14 | Cyorxamp | ok lots of shit |
03:18.36 | Cyorxamp | now what? |
03:18.38 | Cyorxamp | reboot again? |
03:19.31 | Cyorxamp | maybe its summat altboot cant do but normal linux can |
03:19.48 | Kevin` | you are using linux |
03:19.54 | Cyorxamp | ok ignore me then :S |
03:19.58 | Cyorxamp | now what? |
03:20.12 | Kevin` | losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mmcda1 |
03:20.17 | Cyorxamp | reboot? |
03:20.17 | Kevin` | hexdump </dev/loop0 |
03:20.33 | Kevin` | well if you can't stop the command, yes |
03:20.37 | Cyorxamp | ok |
03:21.19 | Cyorxamp | mmcda1 no such device |
03:21.27 | Cyorxamp | on the losetup bit |
03:21.40 | Kevin` | odd, isn't that what you just used before? |
03:21.54 | Cyorxamp | i didnt do losetup before |
03:21.57 | Cyorxamp | just hexdump |
03:22.07 | Kevin` | yes, but mmcda1 obviously exists.. |
03:22.14 | Cyorxamp | want me do hexdump </dev/mmcda1 again? |
03:22.29 | Kevin` | if you want, doubt the outcome will be different |
03:22.50 | Kevin` | sure go ahead |
03:22.52 | Cyorxamp | no such device |
03:22.59 | Kevin` | dmesg |
03:23.13 | Cyorxamp | unable to open an inital console |
03:23.25 | Kevin` | cat /proc/kmsg |
03:23.28 | Kevin` | :/ |
03:23.42 | Cyorxamp | same thing |
03:23.51 | Kevin` | unable to open initial console? |
03:23.53 | Cyorxamp | but i cant get out of it |
03:23.55 | Cyorxamp | yeah |
03:24.06 | Kevin` | oh ya, kmsg is a loop.. |
03:24.13 | Cyorxamp | before that it sez freeing init memory 80k |
03:24.20 | Kevin` | I bet "unable to open initial console" was the message |
03:24.22 | Kevin` | heh |
03:24.32 | Kevin` | Anyway |
03:24.35 | Cyorxamp | 'open AN initial console' |
03:24.41 | Kevin` | I would try to format the entire sd card |
03:25.07 | Cyorxamp | well IMO it looks like it can read the SD |
03:25.15 | Cyorxamp | but doesnt understand the partition |
03:25.26 | Kevin` | uhuh |
03:25.30 | Cyorxamp | why is that? |
03:25.36 | Kevin` | dunno |
03:25.43 | Cyorxamp | ok well ill mkfs /dev/sda now |
03:26.40 | Cyorxamp | done... untarring |
03:28.02 | Cyorxamp | booting.. |
03:28.41 | Kevin` | when booted, cat /proc/mounts.. just list the mount points, not the devices |
03:28.45 | Cyorxamp | ok new error |
03:28.54 | Kevin` | which option did you try |
03:28.59 | Cyorxamp | 3 |
03:29.04 | Kevin` | which is? heh |
03:29.05 | Cyorxamp | i.e. Boot from SD card |
03:29.27 | Kevin` | doubt it understands an unpartitioned drive |
03:29.28 | Kevin` | but |
03:29.31 | Kevin` | what's the error |
03:29.43 | Cyorxamp | Mounting /media/card...ERROR: /bin/mount -t auto -o defaults,noatime /dev/mmcda1 /media/card failed |
03:29.50 | Kevin` | ok yeah |
03:29.52 | Cyorxamp | i take it its thinking theres gotta be a partition |
03:29.54 | Kevin` | boot with init=/bin/sh |
03:30.09 | Cyorxamp | ok |

03:33.33 | Cyorxamp | no such device or address |
03:33.38 | Kevin` | wtf? :) |
03:33.54 | Kevin` | dmesg, looking for sd/mmc mentions |
03:34.19 | Cyorxamp | cant see anything |
03:34.46 | Kevin` | you booted the same as when it did work, yes? |
03:34.54 | Cyorxamp | option 7 |
03:35.01 | Cyorxamp | 'init=/bin/sh' |
03:35.12 | Kevin` | is that what you did when hexdump </dev/mmcda worked? |
03:35.16 | Cyorxamp | yeah |
03:35.17 | Cyorxamp | shall I reboot and try again? |
03:35.24 | Kevin` | sure :/ |
03:36.13 | Cyorxamp | hexdump says the same thing |
03:36.36 | Cyorxamp | i take it... without a partition... OZ doesnt think theres anything at all there? |
03:36.40 | Kevin` | ok then, |
03:36.51 | Kevin` | partition the drive, however you want, but do NOT format it |
03:36.56 | Cyorxamp | ok |
03:37.02 | Cyorxamp | well u tell me how to parition it |
03:37.06 | Cyorxamp | just to be on safe side |
03:37.11 | Kevin` | one primary partition |
03:37.20 | Cyorxamp | type 83 ? |
03:37.22 | Kevin` | whatever you do don't use extended partitions |
03:37.27 | Kevin` | do what you did before |
03:37.34 | Cyorxamp | yeah that is what I did before |
03:37.39 | Cyorxamp | type 83 is Linux |
03:37.57 | Kevin` | the partitions themselves don't matter, I just want it to have a partition table |
03:38.10 | Kevin` | since the partition table shouldn't effect the existing filesystem |
03:38.22 | Cyorxamp | done |
03:38.33 | Cyorxamp | try booting using option 3 again? |
03:38.44 | Kevin` | no, it won't work |
03:38.44 | Cyorxamp | k |
03:38.45 | Kevin` | boot with init=/bin/sh |
03:38.47 | Cyorxamp | k |
03:38.51 | Kevin` | and hexdump </dev/mmcda |
03:39.35 | Cyorxamp | no such device |
03:39.45 | *** join/#openzaurus qwerty (n=favorite@216.186.222.19) |
03:39.47 | Kevin` | now that doesn't make sense |
03:40.17 | Kevin` | your computer is behaving inconsistantly :( |
03:40.42 | Cyorxamp | the zaurus? |
03:40.45 | Kevin` | yes |
03:40.50 | Cyorxamp | well :S |
03:40.52 | Cyorxamp | i dunno! |
03:41.10 | Cyorxamp | the sd card is in it |
03:41.25 | Kevin` | perhaps someone else here who has used this platform has any ideas? |
03:41.42 | Cyorxamp | i'll reflash |
03:41.51 | Cyorxamp | maybe altboot has been b0rked |
03:42.03 | Kevin` | I don't see how it would be, but.. ok |
03:42.12 | Cyorxamp | and ill pop the sd back in my pc and check fdisk still says theres a part |
03:42.36 | Cyorxamp | ah! i didnt write |
03:42.56 | Kevin` | heh |
03:43.07 | Kevin` | try it again now |
03:43.42 | Cyorxamp | which command? |
03:43.50 | Kevin` | hexdump </dev/mmcda |
03:43.56 | Kevin` | well wait |
03:44.07 | Kevin` | eh, just do that |
03:44.07 | Cyorxamp | ok |
03:44.12 | Kevin` | might as well be consistant |
03:44.12 | Cyorxamp | no such device |
03:45.00 | Cyorxamp | mmcda1 says the same |
03:45.29 | Kevin` | I don't get it. |
03:45.31 | Cyorxamp | just checked with my linux pc, and the partition is there |
03:45.36 | Cyorxamp | maybe it needs to be formatted |
03:45.40 | Cyorxamp | then it will see it |
03:45.45 | Cyorxamp | shall I mkfs? |
03:45.54 | Kevin` | well that would destroy the partition that's on the entire disk |
03:46.03 | Kevin` | and we'd be back to where you were before |
03:46.19 | Cyorxamp | yeah but at least wed rule out a random error with the zaurus :P |
03:46.23 | Kevin` | k |
03:47.11 | Cyorxamp | rebooting zaurus |
03:48.05 | Cyorxamp | no such device |
03:48.16 | Cyorxamp | ill reflash |
03:49.03 | Cyorxamp | reflashing... |
03:49.15 | Kevin` | wonder if you could get a combo cf storage+wifi card |
03:49.40 | Cyorxamp | would be nice |
03:49.52 | Cyorxamp | its 4:49am here |
03:50.02 | Cyorxamp | i'm not giving up till its working |
03:51.15 | Cyorxamp | ok booting.... |
03:52.17 | Cyorxamp | no such device |
03:52.38 | Cyorxamp | "hexdump </dev/mmcda" |
03:52.58 | Kevin` | odd. |
03:53.15 | Cyorxamp | ill try mounting it normally in linux |
03:53.31 | Cyorxamp | works |
03:53.43 | Cyorxamp | if the SD reader on the collie is bust then I have a replacement |
03:54.01 | agaffney | Kevin`: the combo cards aren't well supported (if at all) |
03:54.06 | Cyorxamp | but before jumping to that conclusion, anything else u can think of? |
03:54.35 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp since we did the exact same thing as before, and it worked once, but didn't work now, no |
03:54.46 | Kevin` | I doubt it would just break though |
03:55.00 | Cyorxamp | i have absolutely inexplicable things |
03:55.03 | Cyorxamp | *hate |
03:56.12 | Cyorxamp | i see mmcda and mmcda1 and mmcda2 in /dev |
03:57.12 | Cyorxamp | ok Kevin`, what if that 'format the whole device' thing fucked it? |
03:57.30 | Cyorxamp | anyway I can totally 'blank' the SD card without need for partition tables? |
03:57.37 | Kevin` | yes |
03:57.39 | Cyorxamp | and start a fresh |
03:57.45 | Cyorxamp | ok how |
03:57.51 | Kevin` | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M |
03:58.04 | Cyorxamp | thats what i type into my linux terminal? |
03:58.12 | Kevin` | then partition, then format, then extract.. |
03:58.14 | Kevin` | yes |
03:58.22 | Kevin` | assuming sda is the sd card! |
03:58.30 | Kevin` | not your sata hard drive or something :) |
03:58.34 | Cyorxamp | ok and it will effectlive 00000 all 512mb of it? |
03:58.37 | Kevin` | yes |
04:01.57 | Cyorxamp | ok that seems to be taking its time |
04:02.12 | Cyorxamp | but i can tell by the card reader activity light its doing it |
04:03.36 | Cyorxamp | Kevin`: i suspect alof the wifi circuitry can be put in the buldge part of at the top with the aerial |
04:03.45 | Cyorxamp | leaving the rest for a normal CF card |
04:04.17 | Kevin` | how would you connect it to the cpy |
04:04.19 | Kevin` | cpu* |
04:04.39 | Cyorxamp | i dunno |
04:04.49 | Cyorxamp | i've never heard of a CF hub |
04:04.51 | Kevin` | that's the first question, not where to put it :) |
04:05.14 | Cyorxamp | effectively 3 CF devices... the hub, the CF card, the wifi |
04:05.50 | Cyorxamp | god this 'dd-ing' takes its time |
04:06.12 | Kevin` | you did bs=1M right? or some other large number |
04:06.38 | Cyorxamp | i did what you typed |
04:06.50 | Cyorxamp | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M |
04:06.55 | Kevin` | ok |
04:06.59 | Cyorxamp | done! |
04:07.09 | Cyorxamp | Segmentation fault |
04:07.13 | Kevin` | O_o |
04:07.14 | Kevin` | dmesg |
04:07.31 | Kevin` | dd should NOT segfault |
04:07.34 | Cyorxamp | i think its normal |
04:07.44 | Cyorxamp | it basically got to the end of what it could write to |
04:07.53 | Cyorxamp | said it occurred at 515mb |
04:07.57 | Kevin` | that would not cause it to crash |
04:07.58 | Cyorxamp | and its a 512mb card |
04:08.18 | Kevin` | well whatever, as long as it did it's work |
04:08.20 | Cyorxamp | shall I make partions |
04:08.27 | Kevin` | uhuh |
04:09.36 | Cyorxamp | formatting.. |
04:10.25 | Cyorxamp | the error before may have been cuz it was mounted |
04:10.45 | Cyorxamp | untarring... |
04:11.46 | Cyorxamp | rebooting Z |
04:12.40 | Cyorxamp | no such devide |
04:12.43 | Cyorxamp | *device |
04:13.17 | Cyorxamp | and yet its perfectly mountable on linux |
04:13.39 | Cyorxamp | ok... hypathetical question Kevin` |
04:13.56 | Cyorxamp | if I was to sell this 512mb (most people use them for cameras and fat16 anyways) on eBay |
04:14.08 | Cyorxamp | and get a new one... which make would be the best for this purpose? |
04:14.23 | Kevin` | I don't know |
04:14.39 | Cyorxamp | should I dd while its not mounted and try again? |
04:14.45 | Kevin` | they should all behave the same in mmc mode.. i've never heard of any problems of that sort |
04:14.58 | Kevin` | I doubt it will make a difference |
04:15.12 | Cyorxamp | well im trying anyways |
04:15.13 | Kevin` | there's something wrong with OZ or the hardware |
04:15.18 | Kevin` | imo |
04:15.37 | Cyorxamp | this only occurred after the 'format whole disk' thing |
04:15.44 | Cyorxamp | before that it was fine |
04:15.52 | Kevin` | ok, ok, go test it :) |
04:16.01 | Cyorxamp | go test it? |
04:16.16 | Cyorxamp | u mean do dd again? |
04:16.32 | Kevin` | yes |
04:16.54 | Cyorxamp | im not used to all this mount and unmount stuff normally |
04:16.57 | Cyorxamp | it sure is a pain |
04:17.19 | Kevin` | well there's no way to tell when a usb (or sd) card is about to be removes |
04:17.23 | Cyorxamp | the most advanced stuff in filesystems id done up to this share was getting /MediaDisk to be my windows share from my other pc |
04:17.28 | Kevin` | so unmounting is needed on any os |
04:17.53 | Cyorxamp | Kevin`, nonsense.... i noticed when I 'untarred' it didnt actually write to the disk |
04:17.58 | Cyorxamp | it only does that upon unmount |
04:18.04 | Cyorxamp | which is just plain silly |
04:18.12 | Kevin` | it's done for performance reasons |
04:18.22 | Kevin` | and helps to avoid damaging the flash chip |
04:18.22 | Cyorxamp | well its stupid IMO |
04:18.30 | Kevin` | it's not stupid, IMO |
04:19.08 | Cyorxamp | it 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 |
04:19.26 | Kevin` | you really should unmount it on windows too |
04:19.36 | Cyorxamp | unmount a floppy? |
04:19.58 | Kevin` | well not a floppy, since there's no option for that and it does it immediately |
04:20.00 | Kevin` | usb devices |
04:20.12 | Cyorxamp | u just whack em in and out |
04:20.40 | Kevin` | that has the possibility of causing filesystem corruption if there is still something bieng done to the drive |
04:20.50 | Cyorxamp | however 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 |
04:21.19 | Cyorxamp | u 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 |
04:21.27 | Cyorxamp | thunderbird is retarded |
04:21.40 | Kevin` | there's a little icon on the taskbar, 'remove device' |
04:21.51 | Cyorxamp | yeah I ignore it :P |
04:22.22 | Cyorxamp | quite possibly I wont be now :P |
04:22.28 | Kevin` | :) |
04:22.40 | Cyorxamp | yey its done! |
04:22.45 | Cyorxamp | paritioning time! |
04:22.55 | Cyorxamp | i got segmentation fault again btw |
04:23.06 | Kevin` | stupid ubuntu |

04:25.41 | Cyorxamp | rebooting Z |
04:26.29 | Cyorxamp | IT WORKS! |
04:26.40 | Kevin` | hm, that's good |
04:26.41 | Cyorxamp | ok... everyone back on the diagnosis train! |
04:27.02 | Cyorxamp | rebooting.. |
04:27.05 | Kevin` | formatted on the partition? |
04:27.14 | Cyorxamp | yeah |
04:27.16 | Kevin` | k |
04:27.19 | Cyorxamp | and untarred the system files |
04:27.19 | Kevin` | init=/bin/sh |
04:27.23 | Cyorxamp | already in |
04:27.41 | Kevin` | mount /dev/mmcda1 /media/card -o noatime,async |

04:29.05 | Cyorxamp | if i go on option 3 'Boot SD card' and let it fail me to the command prompt |
04:29.08 | Cyorxamp | then hexdump works |
04:29.15 | Kevin` | odd, but ok |
04:29.16 | Kevin` | do so |
04:29.27 | Cyorxamp | shut i reboot into option 3? |
04:29.30 | Kevin` | yes |
04:29.30 | Cyorxamp | *shud |
04:29.33 | Cyorxamp | ok |
04:30.13 | Cyorxamp | well |
04:30.15 | Cyorxamp | i say it works... |
04:30.24 | Kevin` | mount -o loop,async,noatime /dev/mmcda1 /media/card |
04:30.25 | Cyorxamp | its showing me the crap as usual |
04:30.33 | Cyorxamp | but its shows it me very slowely |
04:30.40 | Cyorxamp | like its page by page |
04:30.52 | Cyorxamp | ill reboot and try ur mount command |
04:31.33 | Kevin` | hey, someone made an accellerated mplayer for sl-c3200 |
04:32.02 | Cyorxamp | invalid argument |
04:32.11 | Kevin` | dmesg |
04:32.28 | Cyorxamp | attempt to mount non-NTD |
04:32.49 | Kevin` | eh? before that? |
04:33.11 | Cyorxamp | <Kevin`> mount /dev/mmcda /media/card -o loop,defaults,noatime,async |
04:33.19 | Cyorxamp | do u mean that? |
04:33.28 | Kevin` | mount -t ext2 -o loop,async,noatime /dev/mmcda1 /media/card |
04:33.48 | Cyorxamp | why have u reversed the order of the arguments? |
04:34.04 | Kevin` | because the order doesn't matter |
04:35.20 | Cyorxamp | invalid argyument |
04:35.48 | Kevin` | dmesg shows? |
04:36.05 | Cyorxamp | cant find ext2 on dev loop |
04:36.45 | Kevin` | try it without loop |
04:37.16 | Cyorxamp | invalid argyment |
04:37.48 | Cyorxamp | cant find ext2 on device mmcd |
04:38.53 | JustinP | http://pear.reversefold.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=zaurus:loopbackimages |
04:38.58 | JustinP | and good luck to you |
04:39.16 | Cyorxamp | Can't you just give it a rest? |
04:39.55 | Kevin` | JustinP that would work if he could mount /media/card |
04:40.32 | Kevin` | (and, at that time, wouldn't be useful) |
04:40.48 | Cyorxamp | next step? |
04:40.51 | JustinP | ah, well, sounds like he's royally fubared his card, then. I suggest he format it FAT and use a loopback image, as described above. |
04:41.13 | Cyorxamp | JustinP, the card works fine on my linux box |
04:42.16 | Cyorxamp | Kevin`, 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 |
04:43.06 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp the wiping you did was thorough |
04:43.19 | Cyorxamp | well i wanna try another proggy |
04:43.29 | Kevin` | whatever.. |
04:43.31 | Cyorxamp | plus in the middle of it I can test if it will mount fat32 ok |
04:43.36 | Cyorxamp | should i do 32 or 16? |
04:43.43 | Kevin` | 32 |
04:44.09 | Kevin` | I suppose 16 should work though |
04:44.12 | Cyorxamp | ok disk management has done it |
04:44.22 | Cyorxamp | shall i try mounting it on the Z? |
04:44.38 | Kevin` | if you want |
04:44.39 | Cyorxamp | worked |
04:44.53 | Cyorxamp | the mount command worked |
04:45.02 | Kevin` | I wonder why ext2 is not working |
04:45.14 | Cyorxamp | ok now I know that works... shall i delete the fat32 part off it in windows |
04:45.22 | Cyorxamp | then use fdisk in linux to make the ext3 one again |
04:45.35 | Kevin` | I don't know :) |
04:45.40 | Cyorxamp | maybe its that segmentation fault |
04:45.43 | Cyorxamp | but this is a neat way around it |
04:45.48 | Cyorxamp | windows has done the formatting itself |
04:46.56 | Cyorxamp | this is odd... windows wont let me delete the fat32 partition |
04:47.03 | Cyorxamp | i can make/remove files off it tho |
04:47.11 | Kevin` | don't delete the partition |
04:47.13 | Cyorxamp | ok |
04:47.17 | Cyorxamp | do that in linux? |
04:47.23 | Kevin` | that could have been the problem, that it was created wrongly |
04:47.27 | Kevin` | leave the partition, |
04:47.29 | Cyorxamp | ok |
04:47.30 | Kevin` | just format it ext2 |
04:47.40 | Cyorxamp | so just do mkfs now? |
04:47.48 | Kevin` | yes |
04:48.19 | Cyorxamp | done, untarring.. |
04:49.24 | Cyorxamp | booting using option 3 |
04:49.28 | Cyorxamp | ... |
04:49.55 | Cyorxamp | ok same error as usual |
04:50.00 | Cyorxamp | shal I go into option 7? |
04:50.13 | Kevin` | just try to mount it like you did last time |
04:50.14 | Kevin` | when it worked |
04:50.25 | Cyorxamp | <Kevin`> mount -t ext2 -o loop,async,noatime /dev/mmcda1 /media/card |
04:50.26 | Cyorxamp | ? |
04:50.31 | Kevin` | no |
04:50.36 | Kevin` | what command did you type that worked |
04:50.44 | Cyorxamp | same thing but without the -t ext2 |
04:50.48 | Kevin` | then do that |
04:51.34 | Cyorxamp | invalid argumnt |

04:53.45 | Kevin` | let it do it's thing |
04:54.05 | Cyorxamp | £20 says it wont snap out of it :P |
04:54.11 | Kevin` | heh |
04:54.30 | Cyorxamp | or $20 or €20 ... whatever! |
04:55.44 | Kevin` | I suppose it's possible |
04:56.11 | Cyorxamp | i have another collie I can try this on |
04:56.26 | Cyorxamp | infact ill flash it with the bootstrap same as this while i wait to win the bet |
04:57.41 | Cyorxamp | if this sd card wont format on 2 collies... but will format on PC.... what will that tell you? |
04:58.12 | Kevin` | your pc has a better sd card reader, or driver |
04:58.24 | Cyorxamp | i cant believe after over 4 horus of working on this we have got to the same issue i got 1 month ago |
04:58.24 | Kevin` | or it's very slow :) |
04:58.28 | Cyorxamp | what started it all off |
04:58.39 | Cyorxamp | yeah well i remember giving it a few hours the last time |
04:59.22 | Cyorxamp | shall i give up and try it on the other collie? |
04:59.38 | *** join/#openzaurus leoncamel (n=leoncame@219.142.153.108) |
04:59.46 | Kevin` | i'd let it sit there and try it on the other collie |
05:00.13 | Cyorxamp | theres only 1 SD card you know :P |
05:00.27 | Kevin` | Oh |
05:00.41 | Kevin` | take it out while it's still formatting |
05:00.45 | Kevin` | and see what it does |
05:00.58 | Cyorxamp | its said nothing |
05:01.05 | Kevin` | ctrl+c? |
05:01.07 | Cyorxamp | oh no |
05:01.08 | Kevin` | Oh, wait |
05:01.18 | Cyorxamp | its pretending as tho it finished |
05:01.26 | Cyorxamp | said its 'done' |
05:01.35 | Kevin` | try to mount it? heh |
05:01.36 | Cyorxamp | shall i pop it back in and try to mount? |
05:01.40 | Cyorxamp | ok |
05:01.49 | Cyorxamp | invalid argyment |
05:02.21 | Cyorxamp | my linux box cant read it |
05:02.41 | Cyorxamp | whatever it did... it messed it up |
05:03.03 | Cyorxamp | ok nuts to this i give up |
05:03.17 | Cyorxamp | FAT32... 2/3rds used by the loop image |
05:03.27 | Kevin` | why not completely used |
05:03.30 | Cyorxamp | 1/3rd can be 'My Documents'-like |
05:03.36 | Kevin` | oh |
05:03.42 | Cyorxamp | i take it, it will show up like a notmal SD card? |
05:03.45 | Cyorxamp | that last 128mb or so? |
05:04.06 | Kevin` | it will show up as free space.. |
05:04.17 | Cyorxamp | ok ill have a 341mb loopback |
05:04.34 | Cyorxamp | shall i format as ext2 again on my linux box? |
05:04.42 | Kevin` | yes |
05:04.50 | Cyorxamp | ext2? |
05:04.55 | Cyorxamp | sorry I mean FAT32 |
05:05.08 | Kevin` | mount -o async /dev/mmcda1 /media/card |
05:05.22 | Cyorxamp | if I'm gonna have 128mb of 'normal SD card memory space' then i want it fat32 |
05:05.26 | Cyorxamp | can that be done? |
05:05.38 | Kevin` | mount -o loop,async,noatime /media/card/loop /mnt/root |
05:05.48 | Kevin` | mount -o bind /media/card /mnt/root/media/card |
05:05.51 | Kevin` | umount /pro |
05:05.54 | Kevin` | umount /proc * |
05:05.56 | Kevin` | umount /dev |
05:05.57 | Cyorxamp | im speaking to a terminal obviously |
05:06.00 | Cyorxamp | hello? |
05:06.05 | Kevin` | chroot /mnt/root |
05:06.09 | Kevin` | > |
05:06.11 | Kevin` | ? |
05:06.20 | Cyorxamp | whats wrong with you? |
05:06.27 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp the loop image is just a file |
05:06.35 | Cyorxamp | on FAT32? |
05:06.37 | Kevin` | yes |
05:06.48 | Kevin` | my thoughts on having root on the loop image ^ |
05:06.51 | Cyorxamp | so no need for the SD to be ext2? |
05:07.10 | Kevin` | well it would be a lot cleaner to have it ext2 |
05:07.18 | Cyorxamp | bollox to that |
05:07.31 | Cyorxamp | if it aint gonna be a real filesystem then it can be fat32 |
05:07.45 | Kevin` | it is a 'real' filesystem |
05:07.52 | Cyorxamp | bollox is it |
05:07.53 | Kevin` | and you could mount it on linux if you wanted |
05:08.07 | Cyorxamp | can I alter the size of the loopback when its made? |
05:08.10 | Kevin` | it's just a filesystem on a formatted file instead of a formatted block device |
05:08.13 | Cyorxamp | without destroying data? |
05:08.26 | Kevin` | Cyorxamp not easily, it's about as easy as resizing a partition |
05:08.34 | Kevin` | only there aren't many automatic tools |
05:08.35 | Cyorxamp | which is piss easy |
05:09.05 | Kevin` | I doubt gparted knows to add data on to a loop image to resize it :) |
05:09.06 | Cyorxamp | windows cant format this SD now |
05:09.10 | Cyorxamp | its real fucked |
05:09.14 | Kevin` | Heh |
05:09.15 | Kevin` | :) |
05:09.22 | Cyorxamp | i'll get linux to DD it |
05:09.27 | Kevin` | format it as fat32 on linux |
05:09.44 | Cyorxamp | linux is confused too |
05:10.08 | Cyorxamp | dd'ing now anyways |
05:10.18 | Cyorxamp | what the hell does dd stand for? |
05:10.55 | Cyorxamp | and how do I turn this .tar.gz rootfs into a file for inside a 'boot-image' directory on my FAt32 part? |
05:11.12 | Cyorxamp | or should I let alt boot do that? |
05:11.50 | Kevin` | uh |
05:11.53 | Kevin` | boot-image directory? |
05:12.12 | Cyorxamp | well however all this loopy crap is done- i dont know |
05:12.15 | Kevin` | well wherever you intend to put the loop file |
05:13.02 | Cyorxamp | the hentges stuff is really vague and contradictive |
05:13.02 | Kevin` | make an empty file of the size you want |
05:13.02 | Kevin` | then format it with ext2 |
05:13.02 | Kevin` | then mount it |
05:13.02 | Kevin` | then copy files to it |
05:13.05 | Cyorxamp | wow... that sounds......... fun |
05:13.13 | Cyorxamp | how do i make an empty file? |
05:13.31 | Kevin` | dd if=/dev/zero of=loopfile bs=1M count=300 |
05:13.33 | Kevin` | or so |
05:13.40 | Cyorxamp | 300 is 300mb? |
05:13.43 | Kevin` | yes |
05:13.47 | Cyorxamp | 300mb exaclty? |
05:13.50 | Kevin` | yes |
05:13.52 | Cyorxamp | ok |
05:14.06 | Cyorxamp | loopfile is the name of the file? |
05:14.21 | Kevin` | it can be whatever you want, or whatever those silly instructions say :) |
05:14.45 | joshin | Wow, you guys are still at it. Kevin`: I nominate you for sainthood. :) Night all |
05:14.48 | Cyorxamp | well im ignorin the silly instructions as I have man who was patient enough to do all this for 4 hours |
05:15.12 | Cyorxamp | joshin: night shit head |
05:16.29 | Cyorxamp | i don't think i'll sleep tonight its like 6:16am now |
05:16.39 | Cyorxamp | id never be able to get back to a normal pattern |
05:16.56 | Kevin` | hm I should go to sleep |
05:17.12 | Cyorxamp | so if theres a file called 'loopfile' on my fat32 sd card.... thats it? |
05:17.16 | Cyorxamp | just option 3 to boot SD? |
05:17.29 | Kevin` | I don't know what files, if any, altboot will look for |
05:17.37 | Kevin` | might help to read the altboot script |
05:17.51 | Kevin` | but, I have to go to sleep |
05:17.54 | Cyorxamp | The 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 |
05:17.58 | Kevin` | have school tomorrow |
05:18.22 | Kevin` | so make a boot-images/somename-rootfs.bin |
05:18.26 | Cyorxamp | ok... nn |
05:18.31 | Kevin` | night |
05:18.32 | Cyorxamp | thanx for ur help! |
05:18.51 | Kevin` | np |
05:22.40 | Cyorxamp | it wont format back to fat32 |
05:22.46 | Cyorxamp | windows keep failing! NOOOO! |

14:18.39 | hrw|work | and I do not know why |
14:19.03 | hrw|work | the funny thing is that openzaurus.sf.net works |

14:20.04 | Laibsch | hrw|work: I think wordpress has problems. Coming to subpages from google gives a 403 error -> file permissions? What does apache error log say? |
14:20.20 | Laibsch | CoreDump|home: Wow, that is cool. Since when has this been up? |
14:20.21 | hrw|work | Laibsch: its sf.net - you do not get logs iirc |

14:23.41 | Laibsch | CoreDump|home: Why do you think so? sf.net gives the explicit possibility to host your own domain if it is for FOSS-stuff. |

17:15.32 | TheFool | ok, lol I thouggt firefox was just trying to keep me from getting my new Z running ;-) |
17:15.50 | TheFool | their wiki seems to have everything I need though. |
17:18.16 | TheFool | nope, nevermind, I can't get the zimage :( |
17:19.21 | TheFool | any idea about when openzaurus.org will be back up? |
17:21.10 | CoreDump|home | feeds.openzaurus.org |
17:27.02 | TheFool | CoreDump|home: thanks, but there doesn't seem to be any images there for the 5500. Only the clamshell models. |
17:27.58 | CoreDump|home | 3.5.4 is the latest release for collie. there's a 3.5.4.2-rc hiding somewhere as well |
17:30.48 | TheFool | well 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. |
17:31.42 | TheFool | wow ignore me, somehow I went to the wrong url |
17:32.55 | hvontres|poodle | TheFool: I noticed that some of the mirroros in feeds.openzaurus.org only cary the 3.5.4.1 stuff |
17:33.53 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home: so did you enjoy the "Cyorxamp" show yesterday ? I think he finally got a bootstrap image to boot |
17:34.42 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: i was close to just /kick him. |
17:35.11 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home: I guess flashing and sleep deprivation don't mix |
17:35.19 | CoreDump|home | indeed |
17:35.56 | hvontres|poodle | and I think he thought the 'c' in irc stands for Clairvoiant :) |
17:38.07 | TheFool | is there a specific memory distribution (memory/storgae) that is considered optimal for a 5500? |
17:38.41 | CoreDump|home | TheFool: 64/0 if you have an SD card |
17:38.51 | TheFool | ok |
17:39.41 | TheFool | 64-0 it is, just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be needing some onboard storage to get something up and running. |

18:07.15 | thefool | so is there any chance that I would be able to flash with a sandisk 128MB + WiFi card? It shows up on my computer as a storage device, and I know it is supposed to "work" with 3.5.4 ... |
18:08.47 | JustinP | thefool: depends if the flashing kernel recognizes it as storage |
18:09.02 | JustinP | thefool: my guess is no, the flasher is 2.4 kernel based |
18:09.12 | JustinP | thefool: you're welcome to try, though :-P |
18:15.51 | thefool | darn, couldn't even get the lights to flash :( |
18:16.13 | thefool | I guess that means I am going to need to bum a cf card from someone |
18:21.13 | thefool | accoriding 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? |
18:21.44 | thefool | during boot it just porints a string of dppppppppppppppp... to the screen and anyother time it doesn't seem to do anything at all |

20:12.37 | hrw|tv | ho siriusnova |
20:12.43 | hrw|tv | TheFool: 16m is enough |
20:13.14 | TheFool | hrw|tv: ? |
20:13.34 | siriusnova | hrw|tw - hey i ran into a weird problem heh |
20:13.43 | siriusnova | regarding SD cards |
20:13.56 | siriusnova | i have a 256mb SD card and i have a 241mb image on it |
20:14.09 | siriusnova | i copied the 241mb image onto my Windows XP computer and now the file shows up as 246mb |
20:14.13 | siriusnova | so i cant copy it back to the SD card |
20:14.56 | TheFool | 246 won't fit on a 256? |
20:15.08 | siriusnova | nope |
20:15.30 | hrw|tv | TheFool: to flash collie you need 16M cf card (or bigger) |
20:15.46 | siriusnova | TheFool - its weird - i was trying to do a backup |
20:15.52 | siriusnova | even though the file _fits_ on the SD card |
20:15.54 | TheFool | hrw|tv ah, ok. |
20:16.00 | siriusnova | once on my windows xp laptop i cant copy it back |
20:16.03 | siriusnova | too big :/ |
20:16.30 | hrw|tv | TheFool: I got mine from friend which got it with digital camera |
20:17.33 | TheFool | thats a shame, I knew you gained a bit of size when changing between differently formated partitions but 10mb is ridiculous |
20:17.36 | hrw|tv | do some research |
20:18.07 | hvontres|poodle | 256MB card = 249513 K = 244 MB |
20:18.16 | siriusnova | yeah wtf this is weird |
20:18.27 | siriusnova | the file was originally ON the SD card |
20:18.35 | siriusnova | all i did was copy it over and erase the files on the SD |
20:18.39 | siriusnova | and try to copy it back |
20:18.40 | siriusnova | lol |
20:18.43 | hvontres|poodle | in the hdd and card world 1MB = 1e6 Bytes.... |
20:19.19 | hvontres|poodle | in the os worls 1 MB= 1024^2 Bytes |
20:19.43 | siriusnova | so basically im screwed :/ |
20:19.58 | TheFool | hrw|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 |
20:20.19 | TheFool | siriusnova: basically |
20:20.33 | hrw|tv | TheFool: modify in which way? |
20:20.35 | siriusnova | heh i made a backup specifically so i wouldnt lose the files |
20:20.44 | siriusnova | now i cant copy _the backup_ back to the card i copied it from |
20:20.48 | siriusnova | lol |
20:20.54 | siriusnova | i hate computers |
20:20.55 | TheFool | hrw|tv: build in the prism3 drivers |
20:21.11 | TheFool | siriusnova: you can always compress it |
20:21.23 | siriusnova | TheFool - its zaurus loop file image |
20:21.26 | siriusnova | its a |
20:21.42 | siriusnova | i cant really compress that and even if i did i need it as a regular file for the Z to boot off it |
20:21.52 | TheFool | siriusnova: ah |
20:24.15 | TheFool | siriusnova: well I guess it's time to get a bigger SD card, new egg sells 1GB's for $20 or so ;-) |
20:24.34 | siriusnova | well i guess i can try copying the files onto my 256mb card which shows more capacity |
20:24.41 | siriusnova | then copy from CF to SD card directly on the Z |
20:24.44 | siriusnova | which is kinda weird |
20:25.03 | siriusnova | 256mb CF ard |
20:25.06 | siriusnova | *card |
20:29.02 | summatusmentis | is OZ usable on the 3200? |
20:31.54 | siriusnova | wth |
20:32.04 | siriusnova | now when i mount my SD card it shows up as multiple partitions on the Z |
20:32.20 | siriusnova | like /dev/mmcda1-4 |

21:10.31 | summatusmentis | hrw|tv, thanks, I didn't know how supported it was yet |
21:10.49 | hrw|tv | summatusmentis: OZ support EVERY zaurus model except sl-a300 |
21:12.21 | hrw|tv | but it you will find working sl-a300 (or two) then it can be supported sooner or later too... |
21:13.22 | summatusmentis | right, right, but my understanding was that the 6000 was having issues, and the 3200 is relatively new |
21:13.22 | summatusmentis | I'm not bashing OZ at all, just curious |
21:13.23 | hrw|tv | 3000/3100/3200 are now handled as one |
21:13.23 | summatusmentis | ah |
21:13.26 | hrw|tv | and I have sl-c3000 now (OE project device) |
21:13.48 | summatusmentis | GPE? or OPIE? |
21:14.51 | hrw|tv | depends |
21:14.59 | hrw|tv | 4 zauruses here |
21:15.04 | hrw|tv | 6000 has gpe |
21:15.07 | hrw|tv | 3000 has opie |
21:15.18 | hrw|tv | c760 has hmm... probably opie |
21:15.31 | hrw|tv | 5500 has bootstrap/2.6 iirc |
21:15.56 | summatusmentis | will the 3x00 series handle firefox/openoffice well enough on GPE? my 5500 can't do it |
21:16.36 | hrw|tv | openoffice.org is not supported in OZ |

21:25.18 | summatusmentis | not too much, I do have some experience w/ Zaurii though |
21:25.34 | OPP | o |
21:25.47 | OPP | where can i see a compatibillity list for cf/sd wifi cards |
21:25.55 | summatusmentis | oesf.org |
21:26.01 | summatusmentis | there's a link on there somewhere... |
21:27.53 | summatusmentis | OPP, maybe not, there is for the 5500 |
21:28.05 | OPP | ok |
21:28.17 | OPP | hmm |
21:28.26 | summatusmentis | sd wifi won't work |
21:29.17 | OPP | is there a way that you could install an OS on it like debian |
21:29.20 | OPP | and use repositories |
21:29.22 | summatusmentis | spectrum symbol24 will, netgear(some)will, Linksys should, the SanDisk Wifi +128Mb will work, but only one, not both storage and wifi |
21:29.36 | summatusmentis | Openzaurus is very similar to debian, and has it's own repositories |
21:29.42 | OPP | o it does? |
21:29.44 | OPP | thats grea |
21:29.46 | OPP | great* |
21:29.50 | OPP | does it use apt |
21:30.02 | summatusmentis | it uses ipkg, which is similar to apt |
21:30.10 | summatusmentis | although lacking some of apts functionality |
21:30.41 | OPP | so like |
21:30.51 | OPP | ipkg install x11 |
21:31.11 | summatusmentis | yes, except GPE is the only version of OZ that does X |
21:31.24 | summatusmentis | OPIE is qt based, and doesn't work w/ most applications |
21:31.36 | summatusmentis | but yes, ipkg install <packagename> |
21:31.46 | OPP | ok |
21:32.00 | OPP | and i want this thing in english |
21:32.05 | OPP | so Cacko rom, right? |
21:33.24 | summatusmentis | most roms do english |
21:33.37 | summatusmentis | I think the standard rom will do english too |
21:33.50 | summatusmentis | OZ is a ROM, replacing the original |
21:34.06 | summatusmentis | if you're looking at other roms, pdaXrom also has X |
21:34.10 | summatusmentis | and I think Cacko as well |
21:35.15 | OPP | thats cool |
21:35.19 | OPP | so if i install X |
21:35.29 | OPP | can i really put on on app |
21:35.36 | summatusmentis | it'll come w/ X, you don't need to install it |
21:35.43 | OPP | o |
21:36.03 | OPP | is there a repository list anywhere |
21:36.15 | summatusmentis | and that depends, the Zaurii have a different architecture than your standard desktop, so in theory yes, in practicality, no |
21:36.37 | summatusmentis | http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/fb/ |
21:36.44 | summatusmentis | that's a way to search all the packages in OZ |
21:36.54 | OPP | you seem to know alot |
21:36.57 | OPP | is there an FAQ |
21:37.05 | OPP | that you read this stuff |
21:37.13 | JustinP | :-/ |
21:37.15 | summatusmentis | most of it is from hanging out here, and tinkering |
21:37.27 | summatusmentis | afaik, there is no centralized documentation |
21:37.45 | summatusmentis | I'm also pretty versed in linux |
21:37.55 | OPP | ya i use debian |
21:37.59 | OPP | linux is tits |
21:38.16 | summatusmentis | pardon? |
21:38.30 | OPP | awesome |
21:38.33 | summatusmentis | ah |
21:38.51 | summatusmentis | JustinP, how usable is the 1000? |
21:38.57 | OPP | so whats some awesome stuff about this cl-3200 i probably dont know and also some bad stuff i probably dont know |
21:39.05 | summatusmentis | presumably, more so than the 5500... |
21:39.15 | summatusmentis | 6GB internal HD |
21:39.22 | summatusmentis | very nice screen |
21:39.26 | summatusmentis | keyboard |
21:39.34 | OPP | ya good stuff |
21:39.41 | OPP | 1 sd and 1 CF slot right |
21:39.42 | summatusmentis | as for bad, I don't know, never actually seen one |
21:39.46 | summatusmentis | yes, one of each |
21:39.51 | summatusmentis | CF is usually used for wifi |
21:39.56 | OPP | ya |
21:40.04 | summatusmentis | there's bad, no internal wifi/bluetooth |
21:40.14 | summatusmentis | USB host system |
21:40.39 | OPP | battery life |
21:40.47 | summatusmentis | not sure |
21:40.56 | summatusmentis | relatively good |
21:41.04 | OPP | what is opie |
21:41.13 | summatusmentis | my 5500(OLD Zaurus) get's 3 hours-ish, no wifi |
21:41.23 | summatusmentis | opie is one of the window managers for OZ |
21:41.33 | summatusmentis | similar to KDE on debian |
21:41.37 | OPP | i see |
21:41.42 | summatusmentis | but it doesn't support X |
21:41.55 | OPP | opie, x11,gpe,gnome? |
21:42.02 | OPP | are those all the wm's |
21:42.10 | summatusmentis | OPIE ~= KDE |
21:42.17 | summatusmentis | GPE ~= GNOME |
21:42.28 | summatusmentis | X is the entire windowing system, on a normal linux system |
21:42.34 | OPP | ya |
21:42.43 | summatusmentis | gnome is for full fledged systems, not PDA's |
21:42.43 | OPP | so opie/gpe requiere x11? |
21:42.56 | summatusmentis | GPE has X11, OPIE uses qt |
21:43.03 | OPP | i see |
21:43.15 | summatusmentis | I'm not doing a very good job explaining this, I know |
21:43.31 | OPP | na its fine |
21:43.38 | OPP | so to run app |
21:43.57 | OPP | that requiere X, you would need to install x11 if you were running Opie |
21:44.08 | summatusmentis | you can't install X on OPIE |
21:44.15 | OPP | o |
21:44.25 | OPP | isnt opie the most supported |
21:44.26 | summatusmentis | apps that need X need to be compiled for qt, and most aren't capable of that |
21:44.34 | OPP | oooooooo |
21:44.36 | OPP | i get it now |
21:44.45 | OPP | so most people just use opie? |
21:44.55 | summatusmentis | it's personal preference |
21:45.04 | summatusmentis | I like GPE, because I like being able to use X apps |
21:45.17 | summatusmentis | others like OPIE, as it's more polished, more integrated |
21:45.57 | OPP | i thought you said that most apps dont work on gpe |
21:46.02 | OPP | because its in qt |
21:46.18 | summatusmentis | most apps don't work on OPIE, because it's qt |
21:46.26 | summatusmentis | and 'most' is relative |
21:46.32 | summatusmentis | OPIE has apps for most everything |
21:46.41 | summatusmentis | just not more 'well known' apps |
21:46.53 | OPP | but for GPE |
21:46.58 | OPP | you said you like X apps |
21:47.01 | OPP | so you prefer that |
21:47.13 | ljp | actually, you can install x/qt which runs an x server in a qtopiua window |
21:47.31 | summatusmentis | I don't use OPIE |
21:47.41 | OPP | so you CAN install x in opie? |
21:47.48 | ljp | sort of |
21:47.52 | ljp | x/qt |
21:47.57 | OPP | o |
21:47.59 | summatusmentis | I prefer GPE, because i like the idea of using things like firefox |
21:48.17 | OPP | but you CAN install x in gpe |
21:48.17 | ljp | x/qt lets you run any x app |
21:48.19 | ljp | in a qtopia/opie window |
21:48.32 | summatusmentis | kind of like a vm? |
21:48.44 | OPP | so ljp, whats the best one |
21:49.35 | ljp | not a vm. |
21:49.46 | ljp | well, I am biased for opie/qtopia |
21:50.01 | OPP | so if you wanted to install like gaim, on opie |
21:50.04 | OPP | or firefox |
21:50.07 | OPP | you could |
21:50.12 | ljp | sure. |
21:50.14 | OPP | but they're not in the repository |
21:50.57 | summatusmentis | both gaim and firefox are in the repos for GPE, which, afaik, are the same fo OPIE |
21:51.21 | OPP | o |
21:51.23 | OPP | neat |
21:51.48 | summatusmentis | firefox is terribly slow on a 5500, but I don't know about the 3200 |
21:52.24 | OPP | what do you use |
21:52.25 | OPP | dillo? |
21:52.27 | JustinP | summatusmentis: 1000 is what CoreDump uses. AFAIK it works fine. |
21:52.37 | JustinP | summatusmentis: I have a 3000 and it kicks ass ;-) |
21:53.06 | summatusmentis | JustinP, I'm used to size constraints of the 5500, which is why I ask |
21:53.31 | JustinP | summatusmentis: sorry, I don't understand what the size constraints of the 5500 have to do with how well the 1000 works ;-) |
21:53.50 | OPP | JustinP:have you tried psx4zaurus emulator |
21:54.02 | summatusmentis | I didn't know if there were similar constraints, what w/ the 128MB |
21:54.03 | JustinP | summatusmentis: I had a 5500 previously. It got fried by a bad power cable. |
21:54.15 | JustinP | OPP: eh? do you have a link? |
21:54.25 | summatusmentis | I understand that's way more than the 5500, but I didn't know how that compares |
21:54.25 | ljp | IMHO, opera is the best |
21:54.46 | JustinP | summatusmentis: 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. |
21:54.59 | OPP | http://www.psx4all.net/ |
21:55.15 | summatusmentis | ok, thanks |
21:55.59 | JustinP | OPP: 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. |
21:56.37 | OPP | o |
21:56.56 | OPP | im very, very confused |
21:57.15 | OPP | can you run opie from cacko? |
21:57.19 | OPP | or is that an OZ thing |
21:57.30 | summatusmentis | opie is OZ |
21:57.41 | summatusmentis | although cacko, and sharp, are also qt based |
21:57.47 | OPP | oo |
21:57.50 | OPP | does cacko use a repositroy |
21:57.54 | OPP | repository |
21:59.04 | JustinP | Cacko and Sharp use Sharp's qt gui. Opie is a replacement for it also built on qt. OZ also has GPE (X). |
22:00.01 | JustinP | hmmm...it's for pdaXrom.... |
22:00.13 | JustinP | if it's open source and works on 2.6 kernel it could be added to OE.... |
22:00.43 | JustinP | sh....bvdd....yeah, it's not going to work in OZ....at least not playably |
22:00.53 | OPP | i see |
22:00.58 | JustinP | looks like it's written for 2.4 kernel, OZ uses 2.6 |
22:01.13 | OPP | i see |
22:01.16 | JustinP | faster for everything *but* graphics/movie playback at full screen |
22:01.23 | JustinP | but it's being worked on |
22:01.28 | summatusmentis | JustinP, usually anyway :-/ |
22:01.35 | OPP | i see |
22:01.37 | summatusmentis | 2.6 that is |
22:01.38 | JustinP | IIRC some proper overlay support was added to the kernel but no libraries/programs support it yet |
22:01.43 | OPP | god i want one of these little gadgets |
22:01.48 | OPP | where should i get oen |
22:01.49 | OPP | one |
22:02.05 | JustinP | dynamism.com is where I got mine |
22:02.12 | summatusmentis | pricejapan.com is cheapest(I think) |
22:02.29 | OPP | ok |
22:02.30 | OPP | thanks |
22:02.39 | OPP | o wait |
22:02.40 | summatusmentis | conics.net also |
22:02.44 | OPP | so can Cacko run x11? |
22:03.54 | OPP | wow |
22:03.56 | OPP | these arent cheap |
22:04.16 | summatusmentis | omg, way cheaper on pricejapan.com |
22:05.52 | JustinP | OPP: I can't find any source code, only builds. |
22:06.08 | OPP | i see |
22:07.24 | OPP | for the sl-c1000 |
22:07.39 | OPP | is it worse than the cl-3200 in any ways other than storage |

22:13.50 | OPP | Thanks, |
22:13.50 | OPP | psx4all team |
22:14.04 | OPP | and cacko works now |
22:14.26 | OPP | its incredible what reading will do :-D |
22:14.52 | summatusmentis | yeah, usually helps |
22:16.29 | JustinP | OPP: well, if they want to support OZ it would be nice if they'd release source and create a bbfile for it... |

22:35.39 | JustinP | keypebble |
22:37.17 | OPP | thats cool |
22:37.24 | OPP | so what do you guys use the zaurus manly for |
22:37.28 | OPP | mainly* |
22:39.09 | polyonymous_ | ah, thanks, that sounds like the word. |
22:39.37 | polyonymous_ | OPP, ssh, reading books and keeping addressbook. |
22:40.05 | OPP | cool |
22:40.27 | JustinP | ssh, notes, fooling around, a little web browsing, lots of music playing |
22:40.59 | OPP | :-D |
22:41.02 | OPP | hows battery life with music |
22:41.05 | polyonymous_ | yeah, I forgot fooling around (whatever it is) |
22:41.11 | OPP | and i love ssh |
22:41.37 | JustinP | with the cover closed and screen off I've had it run an entire work-day |
22:41.43 | JustinP | while playing music |
22:41.49 | JustinP | 6-8 hours I'd say |
22:42.02 | polyonymous_ | I used to play music on palm before, but didn't have a chance to listen to it since I got Z. |
22:42.04 | OPP | thats good |
22:42.23 | JustinP | actually using it, with the screen on, I'd say around 4h |
22:42.30 | OPP | i think i like pdaXrom the best so far |
22:42.30 | JustinP | with wifi you're looking at 2h |
22:42.39 | JustinP | remember there's GPE |
22:42.42 | polyonymous_ | 6-8 hours is a lot. |
22:42.46 | JustinP | GPE runs on X so yu can run whatever you want |
22:42.55 | OPP | ya but i want that psx emulator :-D |
22:43.09 | JustinP | and OZ's build system is far ahead anyone else's (IMHO) |
22:43.22 | JustinP | well, they said they're working on it |
22:43.31 | JustinP | but hey, your choice, if you do get one |
22:43.34 | polyonymous_ | 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. |
22:44.00 | OPP | can't i swithc? |
22:44.01 | OPP | switch |
22:44.04 | OPP | if i dont like it? |
22:44.09 | polyonymous_ | you can. |
22:44.30 | polyonymous_ | remember to make a nand backup tho :) |
22:45.05 | OPP | ok |
22:49.54 | hvontres|poodle | polyonymous_:The opie VNC server is fbvncserver. pgfeller is working on gettig uinput to work with it. currently the keyboard works but the ts stuff does not. |
22:50.17 | polyonymous_ | hvontres|poodle, thanks, last time I tried it it didn't work. But asked for a client ;-) |
22:50.32 | polyonymous_ | this time. Your information is valuable nonetheless. |
22:50.41 | polyonymous_ | JustinP, about nand backup? |

22:51.03 | polyonymous_ | hvontres|poodle, thanks anyway. |
22:51.23 | OPP | how do you overclock the zaurus |
22:51.26 | Cyorxamp | hey Kevin` |
22:51.31 | polyonymous_ | I don't. |
22:51.46 | hvontres|poodle | polyonymous_: viewer i think is keypebble... |
22:52.09 | polyonymous_ | hvontres|poodle, Yes, thanks, JustinP has answered already. |
22:53.04 | JustinP | polyonymous_: no, about GPE |
22:53.34 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: how's the Z doing today? |
22:53.41 | polyonymous_ | JustinP, ah.. Well, the worst of all is lack of something like opie-reader. |
22:54.29 | polyonymous_ | JustinP, another thing is speed, but it's not that critical. |
22:55.13 | polyonymous_ | JustinP, but this is why I keep saying that, not sure if this is what keeps the rest ;-) |
22:55.30 | JustinP | polyonymous_: 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. ;-) |
22:55.31 | Cyorxamp | hvontres|poodle, its back to the sharp rom |
22:55.47 | Cyorxamp | my SD card is completely bust after all the formatting me and kevin did last night |
22:56.22 | polyonymous_ | 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. |

22:57.29 | JustinP | polyonymous_: 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. :-) |
22:57.33 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: are you looking for a VNC server? |
22:57.47 | polyonymous_ | JustinP, I didn't blame anyone! ;-) |
22:57.49 | Cyorxamp | yeah, a nice ipkg package maybe? |
22:58.09 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: for sharp rom, get fbvncserver from sdg.com |
22:58.49 | Cyorxamp | thanx |
22:59.05 | JustinP | polyonymous_: I realize that, just pointing it out for anyone listening. |
22:59.38 | JustinP | polyonymous_: 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. |
22:59.44 | polyonymous_ | JustinP, ah, ok. Well, even thought I "keep saying" that about gpe, I don't mean doing any harm to the latter. |
23:00.11 | hvontres|poodle | Cyorxamp: http://sdgsystems.com/download/fbvncserver-sl5500_0.9.4_arm.ipk |
23:00.48 | polyonymous_ | 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. |

23:12.14 | JustinP | polyonymous_: sounds good. You could also try asking the opie-reader author whether he's ever thought of an X version. |
