00:00.17 | SlickMcSly | i'm either going to get a c3k2 for internal cf slot or a htc universal, either way i won't be keeping the c1k |
00:02.08 | summatusmentis | found something that'll do gprs? |
00:03.19 | agaffney | SlickMcSly: does it have to be in san diego? do you not want to ship it? |
00:04.36 | SlickMcSly | agaffney, i can ship it. just thought ppl would desire convenience 1st |
00:05.00 | agaffney | out of curiosity, how much are you asking? |
00:06.15 | SlickMcSly | it's almost 2 months old ordered new from japan, aside frmo some dust int he screw slot it's in great condition so $300 |
00:06.58 | SlickMcSly | the screw slots being the holes the screws are screed into |
00:07.11 | SlickMcSly | screed = screwed |
00:07.21 | summatusmentis | just the Z? |
00:07.40 | SlickMcSly | that and a 256 MB sd card for flashing |
00:08.03 | summatusmentis | mm.. |
00:08.04 | SlickMcSly | i guess i can release the host cable too, box and client cable, sd and cf covers included of course |
00:08.20 | SlickMcSly | original box, japanese manual plastic bags and the rest of course |
00:08.31 | summatusmentis | shipping across country would be rough |
00:09.06 | SlickMcSly | we'd need a mediator to cover both sides |
00:09.15 | SlickMcSly | that's why i like dealing in person |
00:10.00 | summatusmentis | mediator? |
00:10.07 | summatusmentis | like paypal? |
00:10.12 | SlickMcSly | like ebay or something that can hold both side responsible for their conduct |
00:10.17 | summatusmentis | ah |

00:18.49 | Cyorxamp | I'm flashing the bootstrap initrd.bin now |
00:19.08 | Cyorxamp | This -ought- to be a walk in the park |
00:19.24 | Cyorxamp | I'm also going opie because well I think i'm defecting to kde/opie |
00:19.41 | Cyorxamp | how evil of me |
00:19.43 | summatusmentis | KDE is nice, don't know about opie |
00:20.18 | Cyorxamp | isnt opie what zaurus comes with anyway>? |
00:20.31 | Cyorxamp | the 'opie' OZ rom looks very much like the same GUI as the sharp one |
00:21.03 | summatusmentis | based on qt, yeah, like sharp |
00:21.24 | Cyorxamp | hmm this aint right |
00:21.32 | Cyorxamp | i just flashed it and it come up saying sharp not OZ |
00:21.35 | SlickMcSly | summatusmentis, update: i'm writing up my craig's list posting right now |
00:22.34 | summatusmentis | heh, ok |
00:24.01 | Cyorxamp | I just delcared war on ubuntu big time :S |
00:24.18 | Cyorxamp | Infact joshin will love this |
00:25.11 | Cyorxamp | the only thing keeping me on ubuntu was apt-get anyways... and urmpi seems good enough |
00:26.15 | summatusmentis | shame |
00:26.20 | Cyorxamp | why? |
00:26.28 | summatusmentis | apt-get is way better |
00:26.35 | Cyorxamp | i don't get this... i keep flashin my zaurus with the OZ rom and sharp keeps coming up |
00:26.36 | summatusmentis | although portage is supposed to be better than apt |
00:26.55 | JustinP | portage is awesome ;-) |
00:26.58 | Cyorxamp | well apt was good I guess, but ubuntu is just too horrid, and debian aint better |
00:27.10 | agaffney | portage++ :P |
00:27.14 | JustinP | bitbake is actually based on portage (bitbake is what builds OE/OZ) |
00:27.19 | summatusmentis | what was so bad about ubuntu? |
00:27.20 | Cyorxamp | I feel as tho Mandriva is going somewhere and ubuntu is just standing still |
00:27.41 | Cyorxamp | this new edgy release seems more like a patch for dapper than anything to be excited about |
00:28.16 | Cyorxamp | I may try gentoo again one day |
00:28.30 | agaffney | I do the x86 releases and the installer |
00:28.36 | Cyorxamp | I might have gained a much much better understanding of linux over the last year but gentoo is pretty complex |
00:28.40 | agaffney | summatusmentis: satellite internet sucks goat nuts |
00:28.48 | summatusmentis | better than dial-up |
00:28.53 | agaffney | not much |
00:29.09 | Cyorxamp | why stuck with satnet? |
00:29.13 | agaffney | they do *horrid* things with the TCP/IP protocol to compensate for the latency |
00:29.19 | agaffney | and it only works for http |
00:29.20 | summatusmentis | well, in a town of 600, dsl just doesn't happen |
00:29.26 | agaffney | any other protocol has *horrible* latency |
00:29.31 | agaffney | I'm talking 2 seconds |
00:29.41 | Cyorxamp | summatusmentis, shouldnt be hard to do ADSL2+ tho |
00:29.56 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, what do you mean? |
00:29.59 | Cyorxamp | most of the british countryside can at least get 512kbps internet |
00:30.11 | Cyorxamp | adsl2+ it's extremely long range |
00:30.36 | summatusmentis | hrm, I suppose a local company would need to supply that service though right? |
00:31.05 | Cyorxamp | just enable it at the exchange (im guessing in the local big town/city) then all the surrounding countryside towns/villages can get it |
00:31.24 | summatusmentis | what's the range on it? |
00:31.34 | Cyorxamp | look it up on wikipedia im not sure |
00:31.44 | summatusmentis | ok, thanks, I'll look into it |
00:31.48 | NAbyss | 8km, iirc for 1mbps |
00:31.49 | Cyorxamp | its cropping up all over the UK but then the UK has always been ahead of the USA in tech |
00:32.00 | Cyorxamp | ADSL2+ is capable of 24mbps |
00:32.09 | Cyorxamp | will be gettin that soon :P |
00:32.26 | NAbyss | Cyorxamp: Yeah, but the range is pathetic for 24mbps |
00:32.36 | NAbyss | something like 500m from the exchange |
00:32.55 | Cyorxamp | sure it is! but for countrysides to loose 16mbps or 20mbps - who cares? |
00:32.55 | Cyorxamp | it's BB :P |
00:33.11 | NAbyss | True :) |
00:33.17 | Cyorxamp | i didnt rename zimage, thats why it didnt work :S |

00:33.45 | Cyorxamp | does the states not have ADSL? |
00:33.46 | summatusmentis | Cyorxamp, I'm pretty sure nothing like that is available in my area |
00:34.01 | Cyorxamp | all i hear is 'DSL' |
00:34.06 | Cyorxamp | but we always call it ADSL over there |
00:34.14 | Cyorxamp | so did ADSL not take off or something in the states? |
00:34.44 | Cyorxamp | summatusmentis, yeah its unlikely - but at least u know it aint impossible for dsl in ur area - maybe one day it wil happen |
00:34.50 | agaffney | most DSL here in the US is ADSL or XDSL |
00:34.56 | Cyorxamp | xdsl?! |
00:35.16 | summatusmentis | 8km == ? mi. ? |
00:35.20 | agaffney | I've only heard of XDSL being used in a few cases to get an extra bit of distance |
00:35.32 | Cyorxamp | lol... you americans |
00:35.37 | agaffney | I've got ADSL |
00:35.39 | Cyorxamp | and your crappy imperial measurements |
00:35.51 | Cyorxamp | get metric! |

00:37.03 | summatusmentis | SlickMcSly, thanks |
00:37.09 | SlickMcSly | i'd make an acception for paypal verified |
00:37.17 | SlickMcSly | err exception |
00:37.20 | Cyorxamp | ok option [8] on altboot :P |
00:37.26 | Cyorxamp | here we go! |
00:38.11 | Cyorxamp | does 256mb of 1gb sound enough for OZ? |
00:38.20 | Cyorxamp | or should it be bigger? |
00:38.40 | summatusmentis | Depends on what you're looking for... |
00:38.43 | Cyorxamp | i know the min is 30mb, but i wanna see how much i can get done with it - lots of apps |
00:39.13 | summatusmentis | why not just use the full 1gb? |
00:39.20 | Cyorxamp | games too!, hmm they take a substantial about of memory |
00:39.23 | Cyorxamp | like quake pak files |
00:39.42 | SlickMcSly | Cyorxamp, whish Z are you using? |
00:39.49 | Cyorxamp | summatusmentis, i want to leave some of the SD empty so i can use it to easily store temporary files on it like music |
00:39.57 | Cyorxamp | and i can dump music on the sd from windows then |
00:39.59 | Cyorxamp | collie |
00:40.12 | summatusmentis | ah |
00:40.32 | SlickMcSly | if you're serious about games get a Cxx00, better performance, largers screen, PLAYSTATION EMULATOR |
00:40.44 | Cyorxamp | the guys over at #theora think an hour and a half movie at 320x240 resolution should be about 200mb |
00:40.54 | Cyorxamp | SlickMcSly, im not that serious :P |
00:41.01 | Cyorxamp | and i cant stand consoles |
00:42.08 | SlickMcSly | if you're concerned at all about regular use then you at least want a c7x0 for the vga display |
00:42.11 | Cyorxamp | can I make the loopfile bigger later on? |
00:42.25 | SlickMcSly | also, movies can be playingw ith greater bitrates than on a collie |
00:42.25 | Cyorxamp | SlickMcSly, look i'm sticking to what i've got - okay? |
00:43.00 | Cyorxamp | can I make the loopfile bigger later on? |
00:43.27 | Cyorxamp | like tar'ing the contents.. deleting it... remake it... untar the contents maybe? |
00:43.30 | SlickMcSly | nope, it's equivalent to partition resizing without actually doing it |
00:43.52 | summatusmentis | SlickMcSly, which can be done... |
00:43.59 | Cyorxamp | Your sentence makes as much sense as a pink banana |
00:44.21 | Cyorxamp | i'm guessing it can be done... 256mb it is |
00:44.38 | Cyorxamp | ok its making it |
00:44.41 | SlickMcSly | once you make a loopback and install a filesystem there's no tool that can resize the fs regardless of the loopback's size change |
00:44.52 | SlickMcSly | the extra space just won't be used |
00:44.56 | Cyorxamp | didnt you even read what I put? |
00:45.05 | summatusmentis | why can't one resize an fs? |
00:45.17 | Cyorxamp | ....<Cyorxamp> like tar'ing the contents.. deleting it... remake it... untar the contents maybe? |
00:45.49 | SlickMcSly | sry, distracted |
00:45.52 | agaffney | SlickMcSly: uhh, why couldn't you use resize2fs on an unmounted loopback image? |
00:46.39 | agaffney | or whatever tool is relevant for the filesystem you're using |
00:47.28 | SlickMcSly | is there relevant tool for every fs? i guess if you pick a fs jst for that then ok |
00:47.50 | Cyorxamp | don't worry we know its big |
00:49.34 | Cyorxamp | Ok i have an error |
00:49.47 | Cyorxamp | it did mounting the loopfile |
00:49.59 | Cyorxamp | it installed the rootfs and synced drives |
00:50.23 | Cyorxamp | then it said losetup: ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address |
00:50.34 | Cyorxamp | then just Press enter to go back to altboot |
00:51.36 | Cyorxamp | anyone know why? |
00:51.47 | SlickMcSly | Cyorxamp, why not format the entire card to ext2 and use a windows app for reading ext2? |
00:51.57 | summatusmentis | cuz they suck |
00:52.06 | Cyorxamp | i did that before... and my sd card got ruined |
00:52.08 | summatusmentis | cause corruption, or at least the 3 I tried did |
00:52.09 | Cyorxamp | this is the second one |
00:52.13 | SlickMcSly | which did you use? |
00:52.24 | Cyorxamp | which sd? |
00:52.30 | SlickMcSly | which prog |
00:52.34 | Cyorxamp | for what? |
00:52.38 | SlickMcSly | for ext2 |
00:52.42 | SlickMcSly | ...in windows |
00:52.47 | Cyorxamp | i didnt |
00:52.53 | Cyorxamp | i barely use windows |
00:53.18 | SlickMcSly | so you sd card for ruined using ext2 period? |
00:53.39 | Cyorxamp | well yeah, it was formatted so many times trying to get the fucker to work |
00:53.46 | Cyorxamp | in the end it didnt and the sd card got fucked |
00:54.36 | SlickMcSly | i very well doubt you formated the card enough times to reach it's write limit |
00:54.52 | Cyorxamp | well think what you like, it fucked up - no way to recover it |
00:55.02 | Cyorxamp | tried dd on linux to zero it and killdisk on windows |
00:55.17 | Cyorxamp | windows wont format it fat32 and on linux it can format it ext2 but cant mount it - io error |
00:55.22 | Cyorxamp | so its screwed |
00:55.41 | Cyorxamp | and whats more in the bin... so not even any need to go there |
00:55.57 | Cyorxamp | does anyone know why i got ... losetup: ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address |
00:56.26 | SlickMcSly | my point is that, whatever happened tot he last one, coudl very well happen to this one |
00:56.38 | SlickMcSly | ...may already be happening |
00:57.07 | Cyorxamp | yup i know |
00:57.11 | Cyorxamp | the collie sucks balls |
00:57.18 | Cyorxamp | especially OZ |
00:58.03 | SlickMcSly | nope, i formated a sd card to reiserfs and bootstrapped a full debian arm installation with some key OZ packages |
00:58.18 | SlickMcSly | served me well for months, even with journaling |

01:01.33 | agaffney | Cyorxamp: the latest OZ images are unsuitable for using altboot to create your loopback |
01:01.42 | agaffney | multiple people (including me) have run into the same issue on collie |
01:01.45 | Cyorxamp | summatusmentis, yeah but he was trying to get to buy another one ffs |
01:01.59 | agaffney | I had to create my loopback and extract the rootfs using a card reader on my laptop |

01:03.23 | SlickMcSly | he'll get frustrated and sell his Z to a compotent user with a better attitude |

01:06.27 | summatusmentis | curiousity mostly |
01:07.12 | Cyorxamp | im gonna have to boot into linux to get this loopback made, i thought there were loopback images on the hentges site |
01:07.16 | Cyorxamp | just tar.gz'as |

01:09.00 | Cyorxamp | i know the mkfs side of it |

01:09.14 | Cyorxamp | dd is it? |
01:09.41 | summatusmentis | I thought bitbake did something to make linux unusable(x.org on linux at fault)? |
01:10.01 | SlickMcSly | you mean the host system? |
01:10.27 | summatusmentis | right, x.org on the host system broke bitbake? |
01:10.38 | summatusmentis | or vice versa? |
01:10.55 | SlickMcSly | nope, don't think so. bitbake is just a python script |
01:11.02 | Cyorxamp | ill boot the gparted cd on my other pc - should be able do it on there |
01:11.15 | SlickMcSly | the oe build process compiles it's own compiler, glibc, and everything else too |
01:11.20 | SlickMcSly | so it's not installing anything either |
01:11.35 | SlickMcSly | you do need gcc 3.4.x for certain packages |

01:31.59 | SlickMcSly | cool, ta! |
01:33.10 | SlickMcSly | i'm looking for a "device to end all device [purchases]" |
01:33.35 | summatusmentis | SlickMcSly, http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/ |
01:33.42 | SlickMcSly | i'm on it, thx |
01:34.39 | summatusmentis | I though he linked from it there...maybe not |
01:35.22 | SlickMcSly | it does, it's at the bottom |
01:35.52 | summatusmentis | ok |
01:37.33 | summatusmentis | SlickMcSly, you want pda/phone/camera/<insert here> all in one device? |
01:37.58 | SlickMcSly | no, i'm not that greedy... |
01:38.17 | summatusmentis | then what is it you're looking for? |
01:38.55 | SlickMcSly | i want vga, cellular, and wifi |
01:39.05 | SlickMcSly | but the oqo has x86 so i'm making an exception |
01:39.26 | summatusmentis | I think some people got ubuntu running on the oqo also |
01:39.49 | SlickMcSly | yeah i saw those links. i was hoping there was some community site or forum dedicated to the issue |
01:40.08 | SlickMcSly | i'm looking to get off of desktop dependency |
01:40.14 | summatusmentis | yeah |
01:40.21 | SlickMcSly | but there's so much binary only software that's x86 only |
01:40.29 | SlickMcSly | flash player being the worst of it |
01:40.33 | summatusmentis | this is true, laptop? |
01:40.45 | SlickMcSly | too big, i want something i don't need to "deploy" |
01:40.54 | SlickMcSly | you can't stand up with a laptop |
01:41.00 | summatusmentis | hrm... |
01:41.16 | SlickMcSly | even the small ones are risky if it's not mounted somewhere |
01:41.34 | SlickMcSly | tablet comes close but still a little too big |

01:42.15 | SlickMcSly | i want web browsing, openoffice absolutely, something things are negotiable |
01:42.39 | SlickMcSly | usb host and cellular access would be nice |
01:42.47 | Kevin` | hmm, I haven't tested openoffice on mine |
01:43.09 | SlickMcSly | i've read some posts and even on the cxx00 it's pretty slow |
01:43.33 | SlickMcSly | it'd just use abiword but it has a lot of short comings for technical documents |
01:43.42 | SlickMcSly | equations, pics, diagrams, etc |
01:43.43 | Kevin` | I have a c3200, if you remind me sometime after I install openoffice, however you do that, i'd check |
01:43.53 | Kevin` | I use abiword regularly though |
01:44.16 | SlickMcSly | there's no wysiwyg equation editor for abiword is there? |
01:44.34 | Kevin` | I never needed somthing like that, I don't know |
01:46.18 | SlickMcSly | i got a 1.7GHz 1GB RAM desktop and i still see performance issues with oo.org. i don't imagine a 416MHz (or even 624MHz) 64MB RAM pda could ever run it fast enough |
01:46.38 | SlickMcSly | also, video transcoding is an issue |
01:46.49 | Kevin` | newer OO versions go faster then old I think |
01:47.05 | Cyorxamp | OO is kinda bloaty |
01:47.23 | Kevin` | I predict within a few weeks someone will come out with an accellerated mplayer again |
01:47.24 | Cyorxamp | think i'd rather have the seperate simpler apps |
01:48.28 | SlickMcSly | there doesn't need to be an optimized mplayer video out right? pxafb_overlay (is that even accelerated) and bvdd using sdl should both be transparent right? |
01:49.12 | Kevin` | I don't think the fb is accellerated |
01:49.19 | Kevin` | it seems like a logical thing to do |
01:49.26 | Kevin` | but I don't know how to code such a thing |
01:50.05 | SlickMcSly | sashz frmo pdax posted a coding example, it's like normal fb coding, only you HAVE to assign a resolution before using |

01:51.06 | SlickMcSly | i wish i could locate the pdax acceleration patch used on the 2.6 kernel |
01:51.13 | SlickMcSly | any1 know which one it is? |
01:51.38 | SlickMcSly | i got the builder files but i can't identify it or locate a link to it |
01:51.55 | SlickMcSly | if i had video accel in 2.6 i'd stick with a Z |
01:53.15 | SlickMcSly | ah |
01:54.11 | SlickMcSly | summatusmentis, do you have an pending questions? i could try to answer them so you can log off or send you a copy of the chat history when you come back |

01:54.45 | SlickMcSly | ibot has something to do with it |
01:55.14 | SlickMcSly | summatusmentis, i was wondering if you were staying online waiting for a reply to one of your questions |
01:55.18 | SlickMcSly | .bot test |
01:55.20 | SlickMcSly | .ibot test |
01:55.26 | SlickMcSly | .ibot google test |
01:55.44 | SlickMcSly | ibot does something |
01:55.56 | summatusmentis | SlickMcSly, no, not really, I'm a HS senior w/ no real life, so I'm here ;-) |
01:56.09 | summatusmentis | i think the '~' character triggers it |
01:56.16 | SlickMcSly | ~ibot google test |

01:56.41 | SlickMcSly | i'm close, college senior w/ pt job and still no life |
01:57.08 | summatusmentis | heh |
01:57.43 | SlickMcSly | but if i had a oqo, then all the chicks would love me |
01:57.44 | summatusmentis | oh, you bought from pricejapan? |
01:57.49 | SlickMcSly | yeah |
01:57.56 | summatusmentis | I'm sure that's it, cuz chicks dig computers |
01:58.10 | SlickMcSly | i posted a link to geekstuff4u.com where it's cheaper |
01:58.12 | Cyorxamp | 30 yeahs ago maybe |
01:58.27 | summatusmentis | I guess I dont' fully understand how streamlinecpus vs. pricejapan works... |
01:58.33 | summatusmentis | yeah, I've still got the link |
01:58.53 | Cyorxamp | ok im gettin the zaurus to make this loopback again, only this time ive gone all the way into opie first |
01:59.10 | Cyorxamp | now i just hope it can install opie to sd instead of just booting from the ram |
01:59.12 | SlickMcSly | you can buy the host cable in stores, it's jut a general mini-usb -> full usb female |
01:59.31 | NAbyss | SlickMcSly: You have to make sure it's a mini-A, and not mini-B . |
01:59.46 | NAbyss | mini-A has a pulldown resistor between two pins, iirc |
01:59.57 | SlickMcSly | is it the same form factor? |
02:00.04 | Kevin` | yes |
02:00.11 | SlickMcSly | scary |
02:00.13 | Kevin` | well, the zaurus end of it |
02:00.18 | NAbyss | Slightly different outside shroud |
02:00.40 | SlickMcSly | that resistor triggers host mode? |
02:01.13 | Kevin` | thinking of making a cable with a switch and 2 ends? :) |
02:01.37 | NAbyss | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:USB_Mini-A%2C_B_Plugs.PNG |
02:01.42 | NAbyss | SlickMcSly: Yes |
02:01.54 | summatusmentis | SlickMcSly, I'm worried about shipping costs et al |
02:02.03 | SlickMcSly | nah, just want video accel in 2.6 for cxx00 or i'm selling my z all together |
02:02.31 | summatusmentis | what/ |
02:03.04 | SlickMcSly | pdax 2.6 kernel has an accel hack, but i can't find the patch in the build software |
02:03.27 | Cyorxamp | ok its made the loopback file |
02:03.34 | Kevin` | I think the newest OZ kernel has this also, but no libs compiled for it.. |
02:04.12 | Cyorxamp | wow i think its working |
02:04.21 | Cyorxamp | i think it was the bootstrap initrd that was crapping out |
02:05.25 | Cyorxamp | i select option 1 on the second altboot screen? right? |
02:05.36 | Cyorxamp | cuz its the sd card |
02:05.48 | SlickMcSly | i don't think OZ has acceleration at all because mplayer is accelerated using fbdev in pdax but not OZ |
02:05.49 | Cyorxamp | ffs its finally working |
02:06.47 | Cyorxamp | oh god damn it not again |
02:07.02 | Cyorxamp | how do i get past the stupid 'new storage medium detected' screens? |
02:07.12 | Cyorxamp | its a gui just before Opie loads |
02:07.27 | Cyorxamp | looks like the dialog box is bigger than the screen itself? |
02:07.32 | Cyorxamp | anyone? CoreDump|afk? |
02:08.16 | Cyorxamp | what an absolutely retarded dialog box |
02:09.30 | Cyorxamp | what the hell am i supposed to do about it? |

02:12.56 | Cyorxamp | I'm like 1 nano breath away from this finally fucking working |
02:12.56 | summatusmentis | hey there kantlivelong |
02:13.01 | SlickMcSly | hey kantlivelong |
02:13.07 | kantlivelong | is there a way i can install altboot on a bootstrap fs? |
02:13.25 | Cyorxamp | CoreDump... you may have some good ideas but your implementation sucks like a donkeys cock |
02:13.29 | SlickMcSly | it isn't installed by default? |
02:13.52 | SlickMcSly | if not then sd/cf is the easiest |
02:14.28 | SlickMcSly | use http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/fb/ to dl the package and it's dependencies |
02:14.41 | Cyorxamp | ok new Q... when i eventually get in opie - will it keep itself updated? its got a wifi card in it |
02:14.46 | Cyorxamp | yes/no ? |
02:14.58 | SlickMcSly | no |
02:15.07 | Cyorxamp | why not! |
02:15.46 | SlickMcSly | because updates can break things, and it's generally bad practice for a computer to administer itself |
02:16.03 | Cyorxamp | umm... many a linux distro self-updates after a prompt here and there |
02:16.25 | summatusmentis | does OZ have cron? |
02:16.28 | kantlivelong | is there a way to install altboot using a bootstrap fs? |
02:17.29 | kantlivelong | ... |
02:17.51 | SlickMcSly | when you're dealing with a distro designed to live within a specific software set it can work, but OZ changes so much (eg altboot) i wouldnt' try it |
02:18.20 | SlickMcSly | kantlivelong, are sd and cf not an option? do you have usd0 networking setup? |
02:18.25 | summatusmentis | good night all |
02:18.27 | SlickMcSly | err usb networking |
02:18.31 | SlickMcSly | summatusmentis, cya |
02:19.13 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: i have no networking right now... and i want to install a bootstrap fs on the fllash w/ alboot.. then have the real opie/gpe fs on SD |
02:20.23 | SlickMcSly | kantlivelong, you want to use loopback or use the card directly as root? |
02:20.45 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: a direct fs on the sd... no loop img |
02:21.33 | Cyorxamp | kantlivelong, don't! |
02:21.41 | Cyorxamp | direct fs is buggy as fuck |
02:22.01 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: y? |
02:22.14 | SlickMcSly | isn't there a menu option in altboot to boot from sd? you could flash opie, extract to the card, then use the menu |
02:22.18 | Cyorxamp | dunno but me and kev were trying for like 6 hours |
02:22.23 | Cyorxamp | in the end it wrecked my sd card |
02:22.32 | SlickMcSly | it's not, it's been used succesfully many times by many ppl |
02:22.57 | Cyorxamp | ok im gonna do it right now :P |
02:23.02 | Cyorxamp | and i'll prove the point |
02:23.17 | SlickMcSly | i'm sure it'll fail, but it won't be a the pda's fault... |
02:23.31 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: i just dont wanan waste space on the cf |
02:23.32 | SlickMcSly | or if it is the pda, it's the hardware |
02:23.43 | SlickMcSly | kantlivelong, you want a compressed filesystem? |
02:23.55 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: id prefer direct fs |
02:24.33 | Cyorxamp | say bye byes to ur sd then |
02:24.44 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: y |
02:24.45 | SlickMcSly | then you can extract to the card and use the altboot menu, if it's not there i can send you my boot script |
02:25.01 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: i dont have altboot.. |
02:25.16 | SlickMcSly | the opie image you're using doesn't have altboot? |
02:25.21 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: ive been asking how to get it w/o a full opie img |
02:25.31 | Cyorxamp | bootstrap may work |
02:25.35 | Cyorxamp | but bootstrap always fucks up |
02:25.45 | SlickMcSly | ooooohohoho |
02:25.57 | Cyorxamp | everything infact fucks up |
02:26.03 | kantlivelong | idk y but this distro seems so sloppy |
02:26.09 | Cyorxamp | exactly :P |
02:26.12 | kantlivelong | i give it credit for its efforts |
02:26.23 | kantlivelong | but i thnk it needs reworking |
02:26.31 | Cyorxamp | half the time the site doesnt bloody work |
02:27.09 | SlickMcSly | kantlivelong, what exactly i the setup you're using? |
02:28.12 | Cyorxamp | ok direct fs :P here goes |
02:28.15 | kantlivelong | SlickMcSly: i have a sl-5600 |
02:28.35 | kantlivelong | i wanna use bootstrap w/ altboot on the flash |
02:28.38 | Cyorxamp | option 8 |
02:28.47 | kantlivelong | but i have no net on it |
02:28.57 | kantlivelong | so i cant just ipkg it |
02:29.14 | Cyorxamp | installing... |
02:29.18 | Cyorxamp | lets wait for fuck up |

02:32.29 | Cyorxamp | so im pissed |
02:33.27 | kantlivelong | shoulda researched things more |
02:33.36 | kantlivelong | im prolly gonna recompile the kernel myself |
02:33.39 | Cyorxamp | you dont even have a fucking clue what i ahve or have not done |
02:33.46 | Cyorxamp | so dont be a smart ass shithead |

02:53.57 | Cyorxamp | surely the altboot way is more complete? |
02:54.14 | Cyorxamp | whereas cardfs is a bunch of symlinks or something? |
02:56.07 | Cyorxamp | i.e. rootfs vs cardfs ? |

03:23.51 | Cyorxamp | stfu |
03:24.18 | TheFool | Cyorxamp: as far as I can tell they both sorta do the same thing, but altboot is a cleaner way of doing it |
03:24.28 | Cyorxamp | well it never fucking works |
03:24.41 | TheFool | Cyorxamp: what doesn't exactly? |
03:24.43 | Cyorxamp | it gets as far as that stupid dialog box about 'what shall i do about the sd card' |
03:24.50 | Cyorxamp | and u cant click cancel or X |
03:24.55 | Cyorxamp | cuz the resolution is all fucked |
03:25.07 | Cyorxamp | and naturally u cant take the sd out either as its fucking booting from it |
03:25.22 | Cyorxamp | here...http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19980 |
03:25.31 | Cyorxamp | many more people are screwed by thbis |
03:25.43 | Cyorxamp | no good solution as of yet |
03:25.48 | Cyorxamp | OZ is a joke |
03:26.34 | TheFool | well first off OZ is far from a joke, altboot may be broken, but that doesn't mean the whole OS is |
03:26.51 | Cyorxamp | its all broke |
03:26.56 | TheFool | my suggestion would be to simply try cardfs |
03:27.10 | Cyorxamp | and does cardfs give me 64mb of usable ram? |
03:27.15 | Cyorxamp | like the altboot way does? |
03:27.50 | TheFool | no reason it shouldn't (maybe a tad bit less) but yea it just sticks a boot image on the zaurus and the rest is on the SD |
03:28.13 | Cyorxamp | but the zaurus (as its been flashed) ALREADY has opie on it |
03:28.18 | Cyorxamp | are u sayin it gets deleted? |
03:29.02 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: you obviously know nothing about your zaurus and have not been listening to those who do |
03:29.03 | TheFool | hmm never worked with one I didn't mind wiping, let me gogole around a bit I am sure you can do it without deleting your system |
03:29.22 | Cyorxamp | no i dont give a damn about wiping it |
03:29.30 | Cyorxamp | if its booting entirely from SD thats fine |
03:29.36 | Cyorxamp | but nothing ever fucking works |
03:29.45 | Cyorxamp | not cardfs, not loopback and CERTAINLY not direct fs |
03:29.49 | TheFool | well you can always go back to the sharp rom |
03:30.03 | Cyorxamp | sharp rom works... but doesnt boot from SD does it>? |
03:30.09 | Cyorxamp | so kinda pointless |
03:30.12 | TheFool | no, nor does it need to |
03:30.21 | Cyorxamp | well I want something that does |
03:30.24 | TheFool | you can install all your programs on the sd |
03:30.27 | Cyorxamp | and theres 3 methods here and none seem to work |
03:30.55 | Cyorxamp | I've already ruined one 512mb sd card trying direct fs |
03:32.11 | TheFool | just so I know what model Z do you have? |

03:33.13 | TheFool | great this should definitely work then |
03:33.20 | TheFool | http://www.hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/docs/cardfs_howto.shtml#installation |
03:33.22 | Cyorxamp | no! it doesn;t |
03:33.32 | Cyorxamp | yeah ive read that already einstein |
03:33.54 | Cyorxamp | i dont give a damn about cardfs as its not entirely on the SD |
03:33.58 | Cyorxamp | I want it booting FROM the sd |
03:34.01 | TheFool | I am sure you have, have you tried it? Plenty of other people have and it worked for them |
03:34.15 | TheFool | WHY? |
03:34.16 | Cyorxamp | i dont want to try it - its not what I want! |
03:34.21 | Cyorxamp | Have you tried gay sex? |
03:34.43 | JustinP | and too immature to listen to those who know better than him |
03:34.59 | Cyorxamp | Ah your attitude stinks just as much as mine |
03:35.05 | TheFool | why must it boot from the SD, who freaking cares what it boots from, the whole point of it booting from the SD is to clear space for RAM installing apps to the SD does that... |
03:35.26 | Cyorxamp | because there will be MORE space free in RAM when booting TOTALLY from SD |
03:35.47 | Cyorxamp | I don't want anything but a boot header on the zaurus |
03:36.01 | TheFool | yea a handful of MB's not enough to go through the headache involved in booting from an SD |
03:36.16 | Cyorxamp | it is for me |
03:36.35 | Cyorxamp | Now are you or are you not competant to help in the thing I am actually trying to do? |
03:36.42 | Cyorxamp | Or just wasting my time with stuff I don't want to do? |
03:36.59 | SlickMcSly | no1 is compotent Cyorxamp, leave now |
03:37.01 | TheFool | Cyorxamp: in that case you have one choice, it's called altboot, if that doesn't work your sorta sol. That is if you don't want to write your own bootloader |
03:37.18 | *** join/#openzaurus numist (i=numist@unaffiliated/numist) |
03:37.24 | Cyorxamp | Yeah I have tried altboot MILLIONS of times by now |
03:37.35 | Cyorxamp | I can boot into my SD card using altboot |
03:37.37 | kantlivelong | can swap be file based? or must it be a partition? |
03:37.43 | Cyorxamp | and then i get that retarded dialog box! |
03:37.51 | SlickMcSly | i think you could do a loopback swap |
03:38.03 | Cyorxamp | the one saying 'oh theres a sd card' ... who gives a flying fuck |
03:38.11 | Cyorxamp | just load opie - and u cant get rid of it |
03:38.20 | Cyorxamp | SlickMcSly, I already AM! |
03:38.22 | Cyorxamp | oh FFS |
03:39.11 | SlickMcSly | kantlivelong, when you use mount -o loop there's a hidden step where /dev/loop is [something]ed to the file and it become a normal device |
03:39.19 | Cyorxamp | the loopback file exists, it boots it perfectly fine |
03:39.28 | Cyorxamp | opie loads for first time and a dialog box comes up |
03:39.35 | Cyorxamp | which is too big for the resolution |
03:39.40 | Cyorxamp | asking what i wanna do with the sd card |
03:39.56 | Cyorxamp | normally to get around this bug (since u cant get past the dialog box since res is fucked) u take out the sd |
03:40.00 | SlickMcSly | if you find that step (assuming there is one) you shold be able to use it to turn a file into a device node and mount it like swap |
03:40.03 | Cyorxamp | but I cant since its booting from the fucker |
03:40.06 | TheFool | well you have an OK button, if resolution is the ONLY problem you can just click it. |
03:40.12 | Cyorxamp | NO! ok doesnt work |
03:40.19 | SlickMcSly | Cyorxamp, i was talking to kantlivelong |
03:40.24 | kantlivelong | :) |
03:40.24 | Cyorxamp | http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19980 |
03:40.44 | Cyorxamp | Many more people have had this stupid dialog box |
03:42.40 | TheFool | Cyorxamp: there also seems to be solutions there. |
03:43.09 | Cyorxamp | none appropriate |
03:43.14 | SlickMcSly | kantlivelong, check the man page on swapon. it says you and use a file straight out, but you'd need something outside of fstab for that route |
03:43.18 | Cyorxamp | i havent a clue about usb networking or ssh |
03:43.23 | Cyorxamp | and the first solution doesnt work |
03:44.02 | kantlivelong | kk |
03:44.23 | TheFool | well usb networking is rather simple and ssh is built in doesn't require too much knoledge. It seems to be the only work around. I suggest concentrating your efforts on trying it. |
03:45.01 | Cyorxamp | and that means having a linux box don't it? |
03:45.20 | TheFool | nope there are freeware apps for windows that allow you to ssh |
03:45.36 | Cyorxamp | well i can put a wifi card in the fucker... will that help? |
03:45.55 | Cyorxamp | whack a wifi cf in it and connect to 192.168.0.9 over some win-app |
03:46.28 | kantlivelong | bah i hate loop images |
03:46.35 | kantlivelong | im just gonna use a true fs |
03:46.47 | Cyorxamp | bye bye SD card :P |
03:46.57 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: why would it hhurt it |
03:47.04 | TheFool | I beleive so, (can't confirm as I haven't tried) but that may get around the need to connect via USB |
03:47.22 | Cyorxamp | because it never fucking works and ull end up formatting and reformatting so many times it will fuck up |
03:47.36 | Cyorxamp | TheFool: ok and the name of this app? |
03:47.39 | kantlivelong | Cyorxamp: maybe for you :) nothing wrong w/ formatting a sd |
03:48.04 | Cyorxamp | kantlivelong, no there aint for me either - worked fine on my linux box |
03:48.10 | Cyorxamp | but OZ is an incompetant piece of shit |
03:48.17 | kantlivelong | haha then dont use it |
03:48.30 | Cyorxamp | its the best there is, im stuck with it |
03:48.36 | kantlivelong | hwh |
03:48.41 | kantlivelong | theres gentoo for it |
03:48.47 | kantlivelong | which i was debating to try |
03:48.50 | Cyorxamp | wha whhahwh wha!? |
03:48.54 | kantlivelong | or make ur own os |

03:49.55 | kantlivelong | TheFool: ahaha |
03:49.56 | Cyorxamp | TheFool, you haven't been through what I have |
03:50.10 | TheFool | been through a stage 1 gentoo install though |
03:50.18 | kantlivelong | same |
03:50.18 | Cyorxamp | At this stage I feel like knocking down a wall with my fists in anger |
03:50.22 | kantlivelong | i use gentoo as my main os |
03:50.40 | Cyorxamp | ok the sd is booting for the first time/.... TheFool |
03:50.55 | TheFool | I actually switched to kanotix |
03:50.59 | Cyorxamp | do i wanna store ipkg crap in ram? yes/no ? |
03:51.04 | kantlivelong | i got a bootstrap w/ altboot.. works awsome |
03:51.06 | TheFool | heck no |
03:51.25 | Cyorxamp | do i wanna keep sd cf /home targit thingies?! |
03:51.29 | Cyorxamp | yes/no# |
03:51.40 | Cyorxamp | default is no |
03:51.42 | TheFool | you install it in ram you 1. waste ram 2. get your apps wiped when you reboot |
03:51.52 | kantlivelong | yep |
03:51.53 | kantlivelong | = lame |
03:51.55 | TheFool | yea |
03:52.04 | Cyorxamp | so no to the second question too!? |
03:52.36 | Cyorxamp | Do you want to keep the SD, CF and /home ipkg installation targets? [N:y] ? |
03:53.17 | kantlivelong | oz isnt bad acctually |
03:53.21 | Cyorxamp | fuck it ill say No |
03:53.22 | kantlivelong | it just needs some revamping |
03:53.26 | TheFool | well I don't know as I don't know what those targets are... I would assume that it would be best to just let it set them, so no |
03:53.56 | kantlivelong | the whole fs bins are unreliable |
03:53.58 | Cyorxamp | ok booting from the 2nd altboot now |
03:54.00 | Cyorxamp | so its loading up |

03:54.29 | Cyorxamp | This IS not the problem |
03:54.29 | TheFool | lol |
03:54.34 | Cyorxamp | Your not even listening! |
03:54.47 | SlickMcSly | Cyorxamp, your attitude makes that difficult |
03:55.09 | Cyorxamp | If you were in my shoes you'd have the SAME attitude |
03:55.26 | Cyorxamp | after SO many nights in here fucking about on tiny freakin keyboard typing in bollox |
03:55.26 | NAbyss | Hardly. |
03:55.34 | SlickMcSly | i wouldn't be in your shoes because i'd have a better attitude and get more help |
03:55.38 | TheFool | ah sorry misunderstood when you said you got it booting |
03:55.52 | Cyorxamp | ok now its installing CF |
03:55.56 | Cyorxamp | i mean CardFS |
03:56.10 | Cyorxamp | after this it'll boot Opie right? |
03:56.28 | Cyorxamp | and before it says 'welcome' a gui dialog box will come up asking me what I wanna do with the SD card (like an autorun) |
03:56.37 | Cyorxamp | but the resolution is fucked and i cant click the X in the corner |
03:56.44 | Cyorxamp | So.... well im fucked :S |
03:56.49 | Cyorxamp | i cant get into opie |
03:57.00 | Cyorxamp | now do u know the problem? |
03:57.25 | kantlivelong | !away |

03:58.42 | Cyorxamp | this must be oh set back number #20045 ? |
03:58.48 | Cyorxamp | nothing fucking works! |
03:58.52 | TheFool | I find it interesting that you seem to have so many more issues then the rather larger community of collie users that have done the same exact thing. |
03:59.15 | Cyorxamp | show me the statistics |
03:59.30 | SlickMcSly | i bet he's a maemo zealot trying to make us look bad |
03:59.50 | Cyorxamp | i bet your an egotistic shit who needs to get laid |
03:59.51 | TheFool | ask anyone in this forum, most if not everyone got it running from SD on their collie |
04:00.13 | Cyorxamp | well its hung! |
04:00.25 | Cyorxamp | i told it to install cardfs from the image on my CF to / |
04:00.33 | Cyorxamp | and it cant up with a load of INIT lines |
04:00.44 | Cyorxamp | cannot execut getty |
04:00.46 | Cyorxamp | wtf is getty |
04:01.14 | TheFool | anyways I am going to sleep so good night, and good luck. My advice about following the forum's fix still stands, as this seems to be the "only" proven route. |
04:04.48 | Cyorxamp | then u get this shit |
04:04.56 | Cyorxamp | u reboot it cuz it freezes |
04:05.00 | Cyorxamp | then it wont mount any more |
04:05.06 | Cyorxamp | fs is fucked |
04:05.20 | Cyorxamp | ITS A JOKE! |

14:26.20 | webmind | ah |
14:26.21 | webmind | ok |
14:26.30 | EJ | its obviously booting the loopback from it |
14:30.49 | hrw|work | EJ: collie (sl5000/5500) can be flashed ONLY from cf card |
14:30.55 | hrw|work | and boot only from flash |
14:32.18 | EJ | I don't see what new information you have given me |
14:33.14 | EJ | I flashed the bootstrap from CF, installed the loopback from the tarball on the CF to the loopback on the SD... it now boots from the SD |
14:33.39 | EJ | but when in Opie it cant see the SD for normal every day things (like accessing music) altho its obviously booting from it |
14:34.00 | EJ | and also it recognizes my wifi and knows its of type 'network' but wont bring up wlan0 |
14:34.12 | EJ | when the wifi card works fine on the sharp rom |
14:34.44 | hrw|work | 26 16:29 < EJ> Can I flash the sharp rom to an SD card? and boot from that? |
14:34.53 | EJ | Thats not this channel |

14:45.21 | hrw|work | so you have something really fscked |
14:45.31 | hrw|work | 3.5.4 was working on collie when was released |
14:45.43 | EJ | yeah OZ is fucked, always has been |
14:45.47 | hrw|work | it was tested by ~50 testers |
14:46.09 | hrw|work | EJ: and users always complain nevermind what happen |
14:46.13 | EJ | well its decided to boot now. i did a proper reset instead of Settings|Shutdown |
14:46.19 | agaffney | OZ 3.5.4 works just fine on my collie |
14:46.29 | agaffney | including my prism2 card |
14:46.31 | hrw|work | EJ: go, buy ipaq, meet other problems with same software? |
14:46.39 | agaffney | with SD loopback boot even |
14:46.58 | EJ | at least with an ipaq i have the option to give up on linux and try something that actually works - windows |
14:47.21 | hrw|work | EJ: then go for it ;) |
14:47.23 | EJ | ok opie is back up |

15:02.48 | Coviti | ;p |
15:04.13 | EJ | Yeah i can view the mount from the bootstrap hrw|work |
15:04.17 | EJ | so the sd is fine |
15:05.12 | EJ | also the wifi is up and its got an IP |
15:05.28 | EJ | so the bootstrap is working very well indeed... but naturally wanna boot opie off the sd |
15:08.02 | EJ | you following hwtechnik |

15:08.49 | pmaxroyC | MUAHAHAHAHA |
15:13.45 | hrw|work | EJ: I would reformat sd and retry |
15:13.55 | EJ | yeah |
15:14.06 | EJ | it that fails I may re-try directfs |
15:16.44 | EJ | ok its remaking the loopfile now |
15:28.01 | EJ | ok hrw|work, what i get after it makes the loopback and 'syncs' drives is this... |
15:28.24 | EJ | losetup: ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address |
15:28.31 | pmaxroyC | yay |
15:28.34 | pmaxroyC | lol |
15:28.36 | EJ | but after it just asks me to press enter to go onto altboot again |
15:28.40 | EJ | and it will boot it |
15:28.50 | EJ | im assuming it didnt finish whatever it was doing tho |
15:28.51 | hrw|work | never used loopback to boot |
15:29.07 | EJ | what do u use? directfs? |
15:29.17 | hrw|work | my collie gather dust |
15:29.29 | EJ | you should sell it :P |
15:29.34 | EJ | someone else can give it life |
15:29.52 | hrw|work | EJ: it is not worth selling |
15:30.25 | EJ | nonsense! they sell for a tidy amount |
15:30.26 | hrw|work | 50 usd? |
15:30.26 | EJ | they make for a decent pda... cover on the front, sd and cf... and a keyboard |

15:38.23 | pmaxroyC | ;p |
15:39.23 | EJ | hardly stable... infact all the images are in a dir called unstable |
15:39.29 | EJ | is there actually an older stable version>? |
15:40.36 | SlickMcSly | gd Cyorxamp, how can you still be bitching? it's one thing to have a problem and try to solve it, but not to keep complain this long. either shutup or give up |
15:40.42 | CoreDump|home | <EJ> but after it just asks me to press enter to go onto altboot again |
15:40.42 | CoreDump|home | <EJ> and it will boot it |
15:40.44 | CoreDump|home | grrr |
15:40.55 | CoreDump|home | select "Boot from $MEDIA" |
15:40.55 | EJ | yes but not everything is there coredump |
15:41.10 | EJ | so its an incomplete loopfile |
15:41.26 | CoreDump|home | the second prompt is not comming from the loopfile |
15:41.35 | EJ | which would explain why half the apps dont work and no wifi |
15:41.53 | EJ | i dont think you are following this too well |
15:42.21 | CoreDump|home | ... |
15:42.27 | SlickMcSly | $50 syas when it's all over Cyorxamp will claim his little brother was doing the typing |

15:43.01 | SlickMcSly | that's usually how these things work out |

15:45.49 | SlickMcSly | EJ, earlier as Cyorxamp you said you'd been repairing your collie with parts from other pda's. is that true? if so then how do you know the collie itself wasn't damaged during that process? |

15:46.14 | EJ | thanx CoreDump|home |
15:46.27 | EJ | so i just put oen of those in boot-images dir? |
15:47.23 | CoreDump|home | no, you read the link from the topic of that URL. Because, you know, it is THERE to be read so users actually know what they are doing when they are doing it |

15:48.56 | Coviti | lol |
15:49.19 | CoreDump|home | let me cut it down: It boils down to just one sentence: " Check The Altboot FAQ" |
15:49.37 | CoreDump|home | Everything is explained there |

15:50.05 | CoreDump|home | sigh |
15:50.12 | Coviti | FAQs are only useless because you don't read them |
15:50.13 | CoreDump|home | so which error is it? |
15:50.16 | joshin | CoreDump|home, its like talking to a brick wall |
15:50.27 | EJ | CoreDump|home, ive already said it like twice now! |

15:51.12 | CoreDump|home | bleh, that's from a comment not the FAQ |
15:51.34 | CoreDump|home | EJ: actually there is a dedicated paragraph for just that |
15:51.55 | EJ | entitled? |
15:52.10 | CoreDump|home | How can I use an already existing loop-image? |
15:52.43 | EJ | umm that just states what I already guessed i needed to do with it in the first place |
15:52.49 | EJ | are you trying to waste my time? |
15:53.33 | Coviti | EJ - you're wasting your own time trolling every channel on freenode |

15:54.09 | Coviti | ;p |
15:54.11 | EJ | yeah fixing whats broken so much would get tiresome |
15:54.12 | CoreDump|home | =) |
15:54.30 | EJ | well im downloading the file to the boot-images |
15:54.38 | EJ | ill rename it after |
15:55.05 | Coviti | /kb EJ!*@*.bbplus.pte-ag1.dyn.plus.net |
15:55.08 | CoreDump|home | EJ: for the last time: altboot was _writting_ on a collie (mostly anyway). I bloody know it boots of SD / CF and NFS on a collie. |
15:55.38 | EJ | well obviously not all too well! |
15:55.51 | EJ | especially since theres about 15 god damn approaches to everything |
15:55.52 | CoreDump|home | so either _you_ are doing something wrong (because you ignore any docs thrown at you) or your hardware is crap |
15:55.54 | joshin | EJ, why don't you port Gentoo to the Collie so that you can get a full KDE working on it |
15:56.16 | CoreDump|home | joshin: IIRC pdax has KDE packages ;) |
15:56.22 | Coviti | EJ - Or better yet, port Windows Vista |
15:56.24 | Coviti | lol |
15:56.28 | SlickMcSly | if any effort were to be made porting a distro to zaurus it would be debian |
15:56.30 | EJ | ok downloaded |
15:56.46 | CoreDump|home | SlickMcSly: OZ is as close to debian as it gets ;) |
15:56.53 | EJ | ive called it OpenZaurus.rootfs.bin |
15:57.07 | joshin | CoreDump|home, That's awesome. I'll get installing it right now. Should be able to fit it in flash if I gzip the image and then bzip it after. Sweet! |
15:57.09 | CoreDump|home | after extracting it I hope |
15:57.13 | EJ | yeah |
15:57.15 | EJ | no |
15:57.21 | EJ | it wont extract |
15:57.23 | SlickMcSly | CoreDump|home, but it's not completely compatible with the package names right? |
15:57.27 | Coviti | yeah |
15:57.27 | Coviti | no |
15:57.29 | Coviti | wth |
15:58.07 | SlickMcSly | most importantly the xserver implementation isn't complete. you can't just drop the kdrive files into a debian arm disto and use it, nor can you use the debian x server |
15:58.09 | CoreDump|home | SlickMcSly: no it isn't. I was talking abour distro tools / behaviour / kinks |
15:58.24 | EJ | ok 7zip is doing it now |
15:58.32 | EJ | 150mb, that sounds better |
15:59.07 | SlickMcSly | CoreDump|home, i'd just like to see x11 debian running on my Z again |
15:59.16 | SlickMcSly | without that vnc mess |
15:59.49 | Coviti | EJ - no, it's supposed to be 208.9 GB |
16:00.01 | CoreDump|home | SlickMcSly: trust me. a stock debian would be far from useable on a Z. You kinda need the tweaks offered by OZ / pdaX etc |
16:00.51 | SlickMcSly | CoreDump|home, i know, i've done it before that way: bootstrap debian arm then overwrite it when zaurus specific apps, worked for collie, but not c7x0 or akita |
16:01.13 | SlickMcSly | at least not the kdrive x server |
16:01.22 | EJ | CoreDump|home, can i make it bigger than 150mb later? |
16:01.46 | CVT | EJ - 208.9 GB! |
16:01.59 | EJ | coviti? i remember that name |
16:02.09 | CoreDump|home | EJ: not easily, no. But it should be enough to verify your hardware |
16:02.14 | CVT | go buy some bananas |

16:18.21 | EJ | i mean i have the OZ bootstrap flashed to the zaurus |
16:19.03 | EJ | are you purposely misunderstanding to get out of a problem you can't solve? |
16:19.20 | CoreDump|home | this bug can not be easily worked-around w/o an already existing opie installation in flash. For testings sake you might just wanna use the GPE image |
16:19.56 | EJ | well i can flash opie to the zaurus and to the sd if u like |
16:20.10 | EJ | but i went back to using bootstrap as i thought id end up with more available ram |
16:20.35 | CoreDump|home | which is true but won't let you route around that cursed bug |
16:20.47 | CoreDump|home | you need opie. In flash. |
16:20.57 | EJ | ok... well one sec ill reflash |
16:21.08 | EJ | why use the hentges roms anyway if they have this bug? |
16:21.12 | EJ | why not the OZ ones? |
16:21.45 | CoreDump|home | This bug is 2+ years old and is present on _all_ opie images, be it hentges or OZ |
16:21.48 | EJ | http://linuxtogo.org/mirror/openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.4/images/collie/ext2 |
16:21.53 | EJ | that has ext2 images as well |
16:22.03 | EJ | assuming they are non-hentges they wont have the bug... right? |
16:22.10 | CoreDump|home | they work as well, and "feature" the same bug |
16:22.32 | EJ | well i flashed oz opie to my sd and booted my sd and never got this when using the non hentges ones |
16:22.43 | EJ | but they -may- be because the making of the loopfile was never completed ok |
16:23.38 | EJ | can i take advantage of cardfs too? |
16:24.02 | CoreDump|home | I'm using and developing OZ for many years. When I say that bug is known and present in all existing Opie images from OZ and hentges, then you'd better believe it |
16:24.19 | EJ | well i cant beleive in what i dont see can I? |
16:24.34 | EJ | i cant believe in the existance of something that doesnt occur on my system |
16:24.59 | EJ | try not to get all too uptight about this now. im not calling you a liar ffs |
16:25.21 | EJ | so u want me to use the files from http://oz.hentges.net/releases/3.5.4.1/T1/collie/ext2/ ? |
16:25.43 | EJ | and the other dirs... initrd, zimage, opie etc... |
16:26.13 | CoreDump|home | for testings sake it doesn't matter. The test requires you to boot a GPE or Opie image off SD. Since Opie is bugged, you could try GPE |
16:27.05 | EJ | well ive got the opie initrd, zimage and cardfs on my cf now |
16:27.07 | EJ | gonna reflash |
16:27.11 | EJ | u can tell me this work around |
16:27.41 | EJ | i tried some work arounds on forums with no luck |
16:28.24 | EJ | infact no i dont have cardfs on it - lol |
16:28.35 | EJ | i wont need it will I? its a part of the ext2 already yeah? |
16:29.44 | CoreDump|home | the only work-around is to insert your SD / CF card into an alreay running Opie system (which is quite difficult if you have _booted_ of said CF or SD card) |
16:30.24 | EJ | well im reflashing now ill tell u when im done |
16:31.21 | EJ | should i press a key when it counts down from 5 to boot opie? |
16:31.33 | EJ | whats the first thing i should do -after- booting from the SD |
16:32.31 | *** join/#openzaurus incinerator (n=sabine@82-41-24-164.cable.ubr04.edin.blueyonder.co.uk) |
16:32.52 | CoreDump|home | hmm just boot the image and check if it works |
16:33.30 | CoreDump|home | and the countdown is coming from flash, so you have to select "boot from SD |
16:33.50 | EJ | `no not that countdown |
16:34.00 | EJ | the 'Starting opie in 5 seconds...' countdown |
16:34.09 | EJ | i.e. to quit to command line - is that a part of your solution>? |
16:34.27 | CoreDump|home | ah no. Just fire up opie as usual but w/o any media inserted |
16:34.39 | CoreDump|home | after opie is up, insert CD / SD cards |
16:34.43 | EJ | i dont wanna boot the sd... get stuck again... have to reboot then find out the loopback is corrupt cuz i didnt eject properly |
16:34.49 | EJ | it always happens that way |
16:34.58 | EJ | right ok... will do |
16:36.28 | EJ | booting off internal flash |
16:37.45 | EJ | skipping cardfs and moving /home bits... |
16:37.47 | EJ | yes? |
16:38.25 | EJ | oh it never asked about /home lol nm |
16:38.29 | EJ | opie is up now - what next? |
16:39.13 | EJ | i popped the sd in now coredump |
16:39.22 | EJ | this time the dialog comes up correct resolution |
16:39.35 | CoreDump|home | that was the plan |
16:39.42 | EJ | next? |
16:40.02 | CoreDump|home | well make your choice in that dialog and finish w/ "ok" |
16:40.17 | EJ | well i cba making any chocies to ill just click ok |
16:40.33 | EJ | now wha? |
16:40.59 | EJ | btw i can read the sd card in /media/card |
16:41.04 | CoreDump|home | try booting off SD again with the SD card you've just inserted. The bug will not show up again |
16:41.09 | EJ | theres a boot-images and usr dir's |
16:41.18 | EJ | ok... how should I reboot? |
16:41.22 | EJ | whats the best way? |
16:41.32 | CoreDump|home | settings/quit IIRC |
16:41.44 | EJ | settings|shutdown |
16:41.55 | EJ | reboot |
16:41.59 | Spudulike | Has anyone succeeded in getting Dasher to work on a C760. I have it installed but it doesn't appear as an input method. |
16:42.19 | CoreDump|home | Spudulike: no idea sorry |
16:42.23 | EJ | coredump... ok booting sd |
16:42.41 | EJ | if this does work... can i put bootstrap back on to maximize ram? |
16:42.59 | EJ | uh oh loop0 was not unmounted probly -check forced |
16:43.23 | EJ | oh it got past it yey! |
16:43.44 | EJ | ok its past the 2nd altboot |
16:43.59 | EJ | does this ext2 image have cardfs apps on it already coredump? |
16:44.12 | CoreDump|home | EJ: yes, however, if you ever format that SD card again, you'll have to go through the work-around another time |
16:44.18 | CoreDump|home | nope |

16:44.39 | EJ | right, should i install cardfs later then for now? |
16:44.50 | EJ | and whenever i do in the future it installs to / right? |
16:44.59 | EJ | cuz / is sd now? yeah? |
16:45.04 | CoreDump|home | correct |
16:45.11 | CoreDump|home | <PROTECTED> |

16:45.30 | EJ | yey! |

16:45.46 | EJ | well the last time i installed cardfs is messed up majorly |
16:45.53 | EJ | lots of 'getty' lines |
16:46.30 | EJ | lol theres absolutely near buggery in these tabs |
16:46.42 | EJ | i take it i need cardfs to make it to anything magical!? |
16:46.48 | EJ | *do |
16:46.49 | joshin | EJ, *social skills tip* -> Now would a a good time to thank CoreDump|home. |
16:46.58 | CoreDump|home | EJ: that is the point of cardfs |
16:47.12 | EJ | ok well im trying my wifi first |
16:48.07 | EJ | i think its up :S |
16:49.07 | EJ | whats the /usr dir for coredump? |
16:49.19 | EJ | i thought its supposed to just have boot-images on the sd |
16:49.57 | CoreDump|home | EJ: the usr directory is created on every inserted media due to ipkg requirements |
16:50.30 | CoreDump|home | but yes, it is unused when booted off SD |
16:50.47 | EJ | cuz ipkg files go inside the loopback? |
16:51.03 | EJ | so i can delete /usr ? |
16:51.18 | CoreDump|home | you could, but it will be back eventually =) |
16:51.33 | EJ | bugger it... ill just hide boot-images and usr |
16:51.51 | CoreDump|home | you should probably leave boot-images alone |
16:52.07 | EJ | oooOOOooho yes |
16:52.13 | EJ | this zaurus is never being flashed ever again |
16:52.44 | EJ | will cardfs give me a web browser? |
16:52.48 | CoreDump|home | you can flash it anytime you want. The SD loop-image will not be effected |
16:53.04 | CoreDump|home | yes and plenty more |
16:53.11 | EJ | hmm ok ill give it a try |
16:53.18 | EJ | last time it messed up tho |
16:53.20 | EJ | which browser? |
16:53.59 | EJ | im gonna use cardfs-opie-collie-openzaurus_oz3.5.4.1-rc4-opie1.2.1-T1.bin |
16:55.09 | EJ | also whats the equivalent to startx ? |
16:55.26 | CoreDump|home | <PROTECTED> |
16:55.32 | CoreDump|home | and it is konqueror |
16:55.39 | EJ | mini konquerer? |
16:55.56 | EJ | hmm, im gonna need summat else me thinks - cant stand konquerer |
16:56.04 | EJ | altho i used to love it :S |
16:56.28 | CoreDump|home | konq is the best there is on opie. |
16:56.39 | EJ | downloading cardfs to my cf card now anyways |
16:56.56 | EJ | i used to like konq back on the redhat uni pc's... it was Mozilla or Konq |
16:57.07 | EJ | and mozill aways failing with the profiles so id use konq |
16:57.16 | EJ | but then konq became a file manager too and i really went off it |
17:00.40 | EJ | CoreDump: can i just quit opie and from the command line install cardfs? |
17:01.00 | CoreDump|home | yes that works |
17:01.10 | CoreDump|home | cardfs_install.sh or something like that |

17:40.24 | EJ | whats he saying? |
17:40.38 | TheFool | why would you overclock it |
17:41.03 | TheFool | less reliability barely any extra speed, more battery usage...the 5500 eats batteries normally... |
17:41.24 | joshin | TheFool, because it works fine, gives a noticable improvement in Konq performance, and doesn't affect the battery much. |
17:41.54 | TheFool | really?!? thats rather surprising. how do you go about that again :) |
17:42.05 | joshin | And I modified my 5500 to use the cheap and more powerful MP1 batteries. |

18:13.25 | joshin | TheFool, we've got the same or slightly higher temps but there is some truth to the "dry heat" comments. |
18:13.41 | TheFool | Cyorxamp: nah right near the beach, they got rid of most of the swamp and built $500,00 houses 3 feet from eachother |
18:13.53 | joshin | TheFool, so has the grey haired invasion started for you yet? It has here. |
18:13.56 | TheFool | $500,000 |
18:14.38 | TheFool | oh yea, but they sorta have their own communities. They are sorta scared off by the the young crowds at the beaches downtown etc |
18:14.41 | joshin | Cyorxamp, stop flirting. |
18:14.49 | Cyorxamp | i cant help it |
18:14.57 | joshin | TheFool, except for the old guys with their binoculars. ;P |
18:15.02 | TheFool | thats not flirting thats full on sexual harrasment |
18:15.15 | Cyorxamp | yey! |

18:15.26 | TheFool | joshin: I actually saw one of those the other day, girl beat himpretty bad...then she was arrested... |
18:15.32 | joshin | :) |
18:15.44 | Cyorxamp | ok this wifi is still fucked |
18:15.46 | TheFool | that just wasn't right he sorta deserved it... |
18:15.48 | Cyorxamp | i want answers! |
18:16.03 | joshin | Cyorxamp, so did you connect via IP address to an external machine? |
18:16.03 | TheFool | the answer is...............................................41 |
18:16.11 | joshin | I thought it was 42!? |
18:16.12 | Cyorxamp | FOURTY ONE!? |
18:16.38 | Cyorxamp | Yeah I think its 42 |
18:17.06 | TheFool | joshin: no no no thats the answer to life the universe and everything... 41 is the "other" answer |
18:17.26 | joshin | Aah, I thought that was the third answer with 69 being the second. |
18:17.31 | Cyorxamp | you dont wanna be a random nut head like joshin |
18:17.41 | Cyorxamp | it aint even funny now ffs |
18:17.47 | joshin | True, you could be a random nutsack like Cyorxamp |
18:17.52 | TheFool | anyways, did you mange to connect via ip with konq? |
18:17.53 | Cyorxamp | yes! |
18:17.58 | Cyorxamp | no |
18:18.04 | Cyorxamp | nothing works, OZ stinks of horse shit |
18:18.12 | TheFool | ok then dns is your problem you just have to point it to the right nameservers |
18:18.21 | joshin | It's not your zaurus that stinks. |
18:18.31 | Cyorxamp | TheFool theres nothing wrong with it |
18:18.34 | TheFool | joshin gave you the file to do that with earlier do that and then be happy |
18:18.54 | Cyorxamp | yes but joshin is on ignore :P |
18:18.54 | joshin | TheFool, remember. He doesn't know what getty does. :) |
18:19.06 | joshin | Yeah, I'm ignored. Uh huh. |
18:19.08 | TheFool | joshin: shutup lol, I had to google it... |
18:19.25 | Cyorxamp | yes IGNORED! |
18:19.36 | joshin | TheFool, sorry. Been using *nix of some sort since 1986. :) |
18:19.58 | TheFool | joshin: it's all good I am a recent (4 years) convert |
18:20.08 | joshin | Which is about when I think Cyorxamp was born |
18:20.15 | TheFool | I shoudl have known as I have actually used it |
18:20.16 | joshin | Or hatched |
18:20.23 | Cyorxamp | 1985 |
18:20.24 | TheFool | hey I was born in 86... |
18:20.52 | TheFool | don't insult my year |
18:21.12 | joshin | Sorry TheFool! |
18:21.47 | TheFool | joshin: if he isn't full of bullox and the nameservers are setup right, is there anything you can think of that would keep them from working? |
18:22.23 | joshin | TheFool, maybe nsswitch.conf isn't setup for using dns. But I think he's full of it. |
18:22.39 | joshin | He should edit that other file and make sure that the nameservers are set right. |
18:22.47 | TheFool | joshin: no reason for him to lie... |
18:22.54 | Cyorxamp | i hate all of you |
18:23.03 | joshin | TheFool, I doubt he's lying. Just clueless and unable to listen. |
18:23.11 | TheFool | thats nice...but we are still trying to help |
18:23.12 | Cyorxamp | exactly! |
18:23.31 | Cyorxamp | im in 'why the fuck isnt it working now' mode |
18:23.38 | joshin | Cyorxamp, really we just want to help you resolve your broken conf |
18:23.40 | Cyorxamp | just DO IT! |
18:23.47 | joshin | iguration |
18:23.54 | Cyorxamp | theres nothing broken with the conf |
18:24.02 | JustinP | Cyorxamp: go pay someone to deal with your crap, we're doing this for free, remember |
18:24.03 | Cyorxamp | its default conf, with default dhcp |
18:24.04 | joshin | so it is resolved? |
18:24.09 | TheFool | tell you what, ship your Z to me and I will fix it and ship it back. |
18:24.09 | Cyorxamp | no its not! |
18:24.17 | Cyorxamp | TheFool, ok your address? |
18:24.44 | TheFool | 5264 North Andrews Ave 33309 Florida :) |
18:24.51 | Cyorxamp | waits to see who is more the maniac for giving the other maniac the address |
18:24.53 | Cyorxamp | ok you win |
18:24.59 | TheFool | lol |

18:25.43 | TheFool | no no no, I prefer the local mayors house no one knows his adrress |
18:25.47 | joshin | :) |
18:25.52 | Cyorxamp | the sharprom had a connection box tray icon |
18:25.58 | Cyorxamp | where is it? |
18:26.04 | joshin | Cyorxamp, you can add it via ipkg |
18:26.12 | Cyorxamp | :( |
18:26.18 | joshin | And turn off the bluetooth ones (if they're there in the current version) |
18:26.31 | Cyorxamp | ive already turned off the bluetooth one |
18:26.43 | joshin | Cyorxamp, are the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf the same as the ones that your windows box or ubuntu one has? |
18:27.00 | TheFool | hey is there a port of QPSword to OZ? I know it works great in sharp rom, and I really want it on OZ |
18:27.05 | Cyorxamp | it would help to know where the fuck the konquere status bar is |
18:27.33 | joshin | Damn, the stock market is doing nice things today... |
18:27.47 | Cyorxamp | JUST WORJK!! |
18:27.47 | Cyorxamp | ! |
18:27.48 | Cyorxamp | ! |
18:27.58 | Cyorxamp | oh shit it did |
18:28.06 | Cyorxamp | I must scream more often |
18:28.10 | Cyorxamp | google is up! |
18:28.34 | TheFool | yea I can die in peace now |
18:28.48 | Cyorxamp | so nothing to do with ur conf files like i said it wouldnt be |
18:29.00 | Cyorxamp | just another wild fucking goose chase that would waste 8 hours of my time |
18:29.11 | TheFool | unhuh it just magically started working... |
18:29.16 | joshin | So what was the solution? Your sweet voice? |
18:29.18 | Cyorxamp | yeah! |
18:29.27 | Cyorxamp | my sweat voice made it work |
18:29.30 | TheFool | of course... |
18:29.37 | joshin | Ick. Sweat voice. |
18:29.41 | Cyorxamp | but i think konquerer is just a slow piece of shit |
18:29.44 | TheFool | can we kick him now? |
18:29.48 | Cyorxamp | can i have minimo or opera or something? |
18:29.49 | joshin | Cyorxamp, so is the Collie |
18:29.59 | joshin | Please do. |
18:30.05 | TheFool | HEY! I love my little collie. |
18:30.08 | joshin | Cyorxamp, if you can figure out how to compile it. |
18:30.11 | TheFool | well I can't lol |
18:30.16 | Cyorxamp | bah fuck that |
18:30.20 | joshin | Me neither. |
18:30.34 | TheFool | dang no ops in channel. |
18:30.40 | joshin | There never are. |
18:30.50 | joshin | Cyorxamp is the most abusive person here ever. |
18:31.04 | joshin | But he should be going away now that his Z works. At least for an hour or 2 |
18:31.08 | TheFool | it's ok I have a little sister. They are about the same |
18:31.17 | Cyorxamp | yeah but its as slow as shit now |
18:31.23 | joshin | TheFool, little sisters at least often have cute friends. |
18:31.34 | JustinP | damn, no freenode staff members listed... |
18:31.45 | joshin | Cyorxamp, what kernel are you running? (How much free ram) |
18:31.46 | TheFool | 4 years difference ... |
18:32.00 | Cyorxamp | joshin, all the ram is free... its booted off sd |
18:32.09 | TheFool | definitely not hitting on her friends...now some of her friends older sisters... |
18:32.16 | joshin | Cyorxamp, 64/0, 32/32, 48/16 ? |
18:32.17 | CoreDump|home | would you please watch you tongue...no swearing please, this is a distro support channel after all |
18:32.20 | Cyorxamp | 64 |
18:32.44 | TheFool | hmm thats the best one for it... |
18:32.48 | Cyorxamp | hey coredump wb |
18:33.32 | TheFool | so besidesn general slowness is there anything else not working Cyorxamp? |
18:33.44 | Cyorxamp | minehunt |
18:33.59 | Cyorxamp | its full of scroll bars, it looks ugly... something up with it |
18:34.24 | TheFool | right...don't know what to tell you there. |
18:34.55 | Cyorxamp | basically the panel that houses the buttons has an object in it bigger than its size |
18:35.01 | Cyorxamp | so its put stupid scroll bars on it |
18:35.04 | TheFool | Cyorxamp: usually the first good boot takes a while as it sets up all the config stuff. It might not be a bad idea to do a full reboot to sorta start froma fresh slate. |
18:35.29 | joshin | But make sure to scream at it the whole time so that it remembers who is boss! |
18:35.32 | Cyorxamp | rebooting |
18:35.33 | TheFool | might not help either but... sure as heck won't hurt |
18:36.17 | Cyorxamp | are the collies displays supposed to flicker sometimes? |
18:36.26 | TheFool | during reboot yea |
18:36.31 | Cyorxamp | nah when in opie |
18:36.43 | TheFool | um no... |
18:36.48 | joshin | Mine does. Gives me a headache. |
18:37.02 | Cyorxamp | ill replace the screen me thinks with my other one |
18:37.07 | TheFool | crap not what I wanted to hear |
18:37.28 | Cyorxamp | oh! important IMPORTANT question plz answer... |
18:37.28 | joshin | Which is why I'm about to order that PepperPad. Unless I decide on the 3200. Sigh. Too many choices |
18:37.43 | Cyorxamp | how can I access samba shares on my network from the pda? |
18:37.46 | joshin | TheFool, I think it is the backlight. |
18:38.04 | Cyorxamp | it only does it occasionally |
18:38.12 | TheFool | well I am keeping to the 5500, just can't beat the price...and I am your typical broke college student |
18:38.13 | joshin | Cyorxamp, you need all the appropriate kernel modules and software. It is possible. |
18:38.18 | Cyorxamp | the backlight flickers i think,but ive been it do it on sharprom too |
18:38.22 | Cyorxamp | joshin, ok how |
18:38.35 | Cyorxamp | any link with a guide? |
18:38.52 | joshin | Cyorxamp, how about instead of wasting my time, take 3 minutes and do a google search. |
18:39.05 | Cyorxamp | I like wasting your time |
18:39.08 | TheFool | why on earth would you use samba? wouldn't a sftp session be faster/easier? |
18:39.10 | joshin | Or pay me my normal consulting rates. |
18:39.11 | Cyorxamp | You have wasted so much of mine! |
18:39.22 | Cyorxamp | Nah fuck that |
18:39.41 | TheFool | would you please watch you tongue...no swearing please, this is a distro support channel after all |
18:39.41 | joshin | Cyorxamp, how so? Had you listened to me in the first place, you would have done the loopback mount a month ago. |
18:39.54 | joshin | And not killed your SD card. |
18:40.06 | Cyorxamp | yeah but I DIDNT WANT A LOOPBACK |
18:40.19 | Cyorxamp | and tbh im still tempted do direct fs again |
18:40.34 | joshin | Cyorxamp, so what? I want a rocket ship. Doesn't mean I can have one. |
18:41.04 | joshin | Cyorxamp, you should try it again. |
18:41.15 | TheFool | oh come on you can have one for pretty cheap nowadays. It might be 80's tech but hey... it's a rocket ship |
18:41.56 | joshin | TheFool, I'd like something with hyperdrive at least. |
18:42.20 | Cyorxamp | ok wifi not working again |
18:42.21 | TheFool | theres actually an engine from one of the old shuttles sitting in a junkyard abnout 10miles from me |
18:42.48 | TheFool | um what exactly isn't working? |
18:43.05 | joshin | TheFool: :) You should get it and bolt in onto Cyorxamp's car. |
18:43.14 | Cyorxamp | times out on sites |
18:43.20 | Cyorxamp | i dont drive |
18:43.22 | TheFool | nah would bolt it to mine :) |
18:43.33 | joshin | Cyorxamp, your name server is probably too slow. Try the same address again in about 15s. |

19:13.45 | TheFool | nevermind finally found the feedbrowser link hrw gave me a while back |
19:14.48 | joshin | TheFool, if you are linux literate, you can build your own version of OZ. I found it much easier to do than to go searching and fighting with other packages. |
19:15.41 | TheFool | I was sorta hoping to install OZ and add and add and add as I wanted not recompile the OS everytime I wanted a change. |
19:17.05 | joshin | TheFool, you'd build OZ on your desktop and have your own ipkg feed. |
19:17.41 | TheFool | ah |
19:17.49 | TheFool | well no clue how to do that but sounds cool |

19:31.46 | Cyorxamp | this wifi still doesnt work |
19:32.14 | TheFool | the wifi works, your DNS doesn't work. Big difference |
19:32.32 | Cyorxamp | dns does work fine |
19:33.15 | Cyorxamp | if it can connect to irc within 5 seconds flat by resolving irc.freenode.net |
19:33.21 | Cyorxamp | then it connect to a damn website - but it wont |
19:33.49 | TheFool | really!?! since when? You know that thing that allows you to type a name and go to an IP thats DNS. When you can type an IP and go there but not a name, that means your DNS is not setup right. |
19:34.15 | TheFool | ah, it resolves irc.freenode.net? That is odd... |

19:53.36 | Cyorxamp | yes the people with problems need ignoring immediately! |
19:54.24 | CoreDump|home | wb hrw |
19:54.55 | TheFool | I really fail to understand people like him, it is not as if the members of this chat room sold him an application that did not work, developers spent their own time unpaid to create an OS that seems to work for all but an unlucky few. |
19:55.23 | Cyorxamp | and then get all arogant and bitchy about it when people don't get it |
19:55.53 | TheFool | btw, I must reallllly be slow I just realized earlier today that you two were someof the lead developers for OZ |
19:56.00 | hrw | :) |
19:56.10 | Cyorxamp | hrw and coredump as the best people to insult |
19:56.50 | TheFool | I was wondering why you had such a massive feed of applications for OZ |
19:57.03 | hrw | and few more |
19:57.20 | hrw | ah.. and I organize developers for donated machines from time to time |
19:57.22 | TheFool | and CoreDump|home is the hentges guy right? |
19:57.27 | CoreDump|home | hrw: you are pretty much OZ ;) |

20:00.01 | hrw | TheFool: just to recognize that it has 3.5.4.2-rc1 bootstrap/2.6 image on it. |
20:00.05 | CoreDump|home | damn shame |
20:00.11 | kerwood | hrw: now that the SNR of the channel is higher now, perhaps you could answer my questions about USB<->serial adapters |
20:00.11 | kerwood | do I have to mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 or will it "appear" when the module gets loaded? |
20:00.42 | hrw | kerwood: no idea |
20:02.04 | kerwood | hrw: ah, well...it does seem as though all the right modules are present...I'll pursue it later... |
20:02.21 | joshin | Now with a 2.6 kernel, I'd actually use my collie (and could standardize my NSLU2 & collie feeds) |
20:02.36 | hrw | kerwood: run udevmonitor and then plug device |

20:11.34 | kantlivelong | hey all |
20:11.42 | CoreDump|home | hi kantlivelong |
20:11.44 | kantlivelong | i have a question about the latest poodle kernel |
20:11.54 | kantlivelong | does the clock work? |
20:12.00 | kantlivelong | mine keeps resetting to 1970 |
20:12.12 | hrw | kantlivelong: zaurus machines lack hardware clock |
20:13.06 | kantlivelong | hrw: oh.. why does gpe/poodle have a clock then? |
20:13.13 | kantlivelong | erm |
20:13.20 | kantlivelong | s/poodle/opie/g |
20:13.43 | hrw | ? |
20:14.03 | kantlivelong | why do gpe/opie have clock support then? |
20:14.51 | kantlivelong | im surprised sharp hasnt release docs about the sl-5600 yet |
20:15.07 | hrw | kantlivelong: 5600 is good supported under 2.6 |
20:15.12 | hrw | 5000/5500 is nightmare |
20:15.23 | kantlivelong | i have 5600 |
20:15.25 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: you only loose your clock if you reboot the machine. |
20:15.31 | kantlivelong | but theres no sd |
20:15.33 | kantlivelong | on 2.6 |
20:15.45 | hrw | kantlivelong: NO SHIT |
20:15.47 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: there is on poodle :) |
20:15.48 | hrw | please.... |
20:16.09 | Cyorxamp | scowls at coredump |
20:16.13 | kantlivelong | ...? |
20:16.25 | hvontres|poodle | ~poodle |
20:16.26 | ibot | extra, extra, read all about it, poodle is sl-5600/b500, or a dog |
20:16.31 | kantlivelong | so theres 2.6poodle sd? |
20:16.31 | hrw | the ONLY situation WHEN zaurus DOES NOT have sd/mmc support IS collie (5000/5500) under kernel 2.6 |
20:16.40 | kantlivelong | oh |
20:16.44 | kantlivelong | im sorry |
20:17.02 | kantlivelong | i hate to say it tho but the docs arent very organized.. |
20:17.03 | kantlivelong | but ok |
20:17.05 | hvontres|poodle | I am running 2.6 on my 5600 and I can report that SD works fine...rumor has it you can even go over 1 GB now :) |
20:17.11 | kantlivelong | where do i get a 2.6 kernel for poodle? |
20:17.17 | hrw | kantlivelong: I used 2.4 on ALL zaurus families, and 2.6 too |
20:17.22 | hrw | kantlivelong: grab OZ 3.5.4.2-rc2 |
20:17.29 | kantlivelong | hrw ok |
20:17.35 | hrw | hvontres|poodle: I tested 2G on c7x0 |
20:17.43 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: I would highly reccomend the latest release from CoreDump |
20:17.48 | kantlivelong | hrw do i need to reinstall my fs too? |
20:17.53 | hvontres|poodle | err, I mean RC |
20:17.53 | hrw | yes |
20:18.02 | kantlivelong | aww... |
20:18.48 | hvontres|poodle | hrw : cool. I wasn't sure, so I only bought a 1 GB card... maybe next time I'll go bigger..:) |
20:19.46 | kantlivelong | so does altboot work w/ 2.6? |
20:19.55 | Cyorxamp | CoreDump, your instructions for getting opera on ur site aint working so well - i dont seen any libqte.so.2.3.2 in my /lib |
20:20.03 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: yes. |
20:20.06 | Cyorxamp | altho it has made the opera 6 ipkg file |
20:20.39 | hrw | the only thing which does not work on poodle is 'suspend on cancel' |
20:20.50 | Cyorxamp | so your saying its your instructions but you dont care they dont work? |
20:21.25 | kantlivelong | suspend on cancel? |
20:21.28 | kantlivelong | oh |
20:21.32 | kantlivelong | so theres no suspend support? |
20:21.39 | CoreDump|home | Cyorxamp: correct |
20:21.40 | hrw | you can suspend |
20:21.49 | hrw | but not via holding cancel key |
20:21.52 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : no, you just have to use the menu..:) |
20:22.00 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: oh ok :) |
20:22.08 | hrw | OT: someone know how to give USB devices for vmware? |
20:22.14 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : Where did the poodle images go to? |
20:22.15 | Cyorxamp | coredump, and thats exactly why you belong on freenode :P |
20:22.25 | kantlivelong | are there any plans to reorganize oZ? maybe a cleaner approach? |
20:22.32 | hrw | I need to sniff some usb traffic from windows. |
20:22.45 | hrw | kantlivelong: more details please |
20:23.10 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : try here: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ |
20:23.54 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: whats thart |
20:24.26 | kantlivelong | ah |
20:24.27 | kantlivelong | ok |
20:24.29 | hvontres|poodle | It is sort of like OZ TNG..:) |
20:24.59 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: they are gone for now |
20:25.00 | hrw | kantlivelong: angstrom is a distro which will replace OZ and few other distros |
20:25.17 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : When do you think they will be back? |
20:25.18 | Cyorxamp | but doesnt look like its doing anything new - at all |
20:25.50 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: that might take some time :\ |
20:26.10 | Cyorxamp | ok now you have my attention |
20:26.19 | kantlivelong | ah' |
20:26.19 | Cyorxamp | Angstrom is HTC universal!? |
20:26.43 | kantlivelong | i aprreciate the efforts of oZ. :) |
20:26.52 | Cyorxamp | i dont! |
20:26.59 | kantlivelong | does clock work in 2.6 either? |
20:30.25 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: the clock works fine as long as you don't reboot. The 5600 does not have a seprate RTC, so on a hard reboot, the clock is lost. |
20:30.26 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: even on the stock install? |
20:30.26 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : shap cheated by writing the time to a file every so often and on reboot you would only be off by ~2-3 minutes |
20:30.26 | kantlivelong | ah |
20:30.27 | kantlivelong | so stock roms reset the time too then rite? |
20:30.27 | hvontres|poodle | I think the new OZ releaes set the clock the the build time of the kernel... |
20:30.27 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : yes |
20:30.27 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: ah ok :) |
20:30.27 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : it is just not that obvious :) |
20:30.51 | kantlivelong | yeah, when using linux or any pc, you get used to a RTC |
20:30.52 | hvontres|poodle | ntpate is /me's friend |
20:31.25 | kantlivelong | now may i ask why oZ doesnt use /boot? |
20:31.50 | hrw | kantlivelong: for kernels? |
20:31.50 | kantlivelong | hrw: yes |
20:31.54 | hrw | kantlivelong: because sharp bootloader does not support it |
20:32.24 | kantlivelong | hrw: ah.. not possible to mod it? |
20:32.50 | JustinP | kantlivelong: it's built into the Z |
20:32.55 | JustinP | kantlivelong: not quite the same as a desktop |
20:33.19 | hrw | some models can be switched to u-boot but this give too many problems for users so we do not follow this way |
20:33.20 | JustinP | kantlivelong: we'd welcome hacking of it, but you're likely to brick your Z |
20:33.20 | kantlivelong | JustinP: yeah i figured.. |
20:33.30 | kantlivelong | im just being curious |
20:33.50 | kantlivelong | now is there a way to update the kernel w/o removing the fs |
20:33.53 | hrw | kantlivelong: flash only kernel |
20:34.20 | kantlivelong | yeah |
20:34.20 | hrw | argh.. vmware is sluggish today |
20:35.50 | kantlivelong | hrw: anyway? |
20:36.20 | hrw | kantlivelong: put kernel and updater on card and flash |
20:36.28 | kantlivelong | hrw: ah i had a feeling thats all that was needed.. didnt wanna try for fear of brick |
20:36.45 | hrw | only collie can be bricked |
20:36.50 | kantlivelong | ah ok |
20:37.20 | kantlivelong | i just like to play it safe.. the zaurus is rare and i dun wanna loose it :) |
20:37.20 | kantlivelong | i spent months lookin for it @ a ggood price |
20:37.21 | kantlivelong | i got mine for $180 |
20:37.28 | kantlivelong | i got it new pratically |
20:38.50 | hrw | I would not pay 180$ for poodle |
20:39.24 | kantlivelong | hrw: why not? |
20:39.50 | kantlivelong | hrw: where u live? |
20:39.50 | hrw | kantlivelong: Poznan, Poland, Europe |
20:40.21 | kantlivelong | hrw: thats why.. im in US where they cant be bought newheres but ebay |
20:40.22 | hrw | anyway I had to pay 100$ at customs when poodle/tosa for OE project arrived |
20:40.50 | hrw | kantlivelong: show me place outside of Japan when I can buy zaurus... |
20:40.56 | kantlivelong | hrw: they used to be sold in the US |
20:41.00 | kantlivelong | the 5600 that is |
20:42.23 | hrw | ARGH!!!!!!!1 |
20:42.29 | kantlivelong | hrw: |
20:42.30 | kantlivelong | ? |
20:42.50 | hrw | I want vmware to WORK |
20:42.51 | hrw | its so fucking sluggish... |

22:04.04 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: what do you mean? |
22:04.32 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: the bootsplash wont go back to a term in the bootstrap install, like it stays on the splash until i switch terms manually |
22:05.42 | kantlivelong | does suspend work on cf for 2.6? |
22:05.48 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: ahh,yes.. the bootspalsh is on vt2, which gets overwritten by opie eventually. you can do a <fn>-left arrow during boot to see you boot messages |
22:06.06 | hvontres|poodle | do you mean suspend on off? |
22:06.18 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: yeah suspend the z not the cf |
22:06.27 | kantlivelong | when installed on the cf |
22:07.17 | hvontres|poodle | hmmm, I have never tried that.. I have always used my SD |
22:07.45 | kantlivelong | yah just asking cuz i have a 1gb cf and a 1gb sd |
22:07.54 | kantlivelong | id much rather have SD for storage |
22:08.09 | hvontres|poodle | do you have wifi? |

22:11.50 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: hah what you do |
22:12.07 | hvontres|poodle | I had a non-ascii char in my line |
22:12.25 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: ah :) odd im on 2.0.0 beta |
22:12.27 | kantlivelong | so thats odd |
22:12.36 | kantlivelong | but neways |
22:12.53 | kantlivelong | i want just rootfs/swap on SD then the CF then the ROM |
22:12.57 | kantlivelong | do i need /mnt/ram? |
22:13.35 | kantlivelong | as i asked b4 tho.. (dunno if it sent) can i extract the initrd.bin's? |
22:14.21 | hvontres|poodle | I think so, but I am not sure how. But I think there is a rootfs tarball at oesf as well. |
22:14.37 | kantlivelong | for the zaurus GPE? |
22:16.11 | kantlivelong | ive tried OPIE but i really want true X11.. |
22:16.33 | hvontres|poodle | try here: http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/hrw/3.5.4.2-test/rc2/poodle/tarballs/ |
22:16.52 | mimecar | gpe looks fine |
22:17.01 | mimecar | but there are not many applications |
22:17.01 | kantlivelong | ah ty |
22:17.14 | hvontres|poodle | well, I have tried GPE on my 5600 and it was not pretty. I think it needs more tweaking to fit into 32MB |
22:17.27 | kantlivelong | mimecar: i wanted X11 support that the GPE package provides... i really am gonna use fluxbox |
22:17.42 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: well i have 128mb swap on sd |
22:17.49 | mimecar | hvontres|poodle: gpe is equal to gnome |
22:17.55 | mimecar | not prety by default |
22:18.14 | kantlivelong | i hate gnome.. but i like gtk :) |
22:18.18 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : might work, but it will be dog slow. |
22:18.38 | hvontres|poodle | but again, your milage may vary :) |
22:18.50 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: :) |

22:19.22 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: ill give it a try.. now w/ the 2.4 kernel i had to hack my fs to disable SD manager cuz for some reason the bootstrap already loaded ut |
22:19.33 | mimecar | or http://handhelds.org/~gpe/albums/themes-and-art/port_20135.thumb.png |

22:23.23 | hvontres|poodle | where are you looking? |
22:23.51 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: ? |
22:24.27 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : yes, you still need it. thats where your /tmp and /var are mounted |
22:24.51 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: i was hoping to do it all on sd |
22:25.27 | hvontres|poodle | hmmm... I wonder if GPE puts a bunch of stuff in /var..... |
22:25.44 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: putting on sd wont hurt rite? |
22:26.48 | hvontres|poodle | The only problem I could see would be that a lot of files in /var get overwritten a bunch so you could wear a "hole" into your flash |
22:27.08 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: dunno how |
22:27.26 | hvontres|poodle | s/flash/sd/ |
22:28.16 | kantlivelong | eh it would take awhile tho rite? |

23:22.38 | hvontres|poodle | you might want to check with CoreDump|afk tomorow, but as i recall, fluxbox-gpe was intended to install in a gpe install and replace matchbox |

23:32.43 | JustinP | kantlivelong: ok, well, if you installed GPE then you have the PIM and all the apps...installing another WM won't change that |
23:32.44 | JustinP | kantlivelong: if you want bare X then install bootstrap-image and then install fluxbox |
23:32.44 | JustinP | kantlivelong: and then whichever progs you want |
