02:05.00seth1248How can I make it so that my nfs files can be mounted as a non-root user (I keep getting: permission denied. (are you root?))?
02:05.49NAbyssPut user in the fstab options?

02:09.22AzzIzzAdepends on your settings, some versions of nfs expect connections to come from privledged ports, in that case im not sure that users in fstab will be enough
02:10.25seth1248NAbyss: user in fstab options made no difference.
02:10.55NAbyssseth1248: You might have to setup a shellscript and allow users to sudo it
02:12.26AzzIzzAseth1248: im sure its possible but i dont know how off the top of my head, if the zaurus is the client and its unlikely you will get evil hackers on it, i would be tempted to make mount suid
02:19.39summatusmentisI had X forwarding working like, a week ago, and then last night it would tell me that it couldn't find the display
02:19.52summatusmentisI'm trying to forward apps from the Z to my laptop
02:20.03summatusmentisand I've got openssh on the Z
02:20.46summatusmentisany suggestions? the X11DisplayOffset is set to 10, and uncommented in sshd_config
02:24.10seth1248How do I make mount suid?
02:25.07summatusmentisisnt' it just an option in fstab?
02:25.11NAbysschmod u+s `which mount`
02:27.27AzzIzzAseth1248: just make sure you understand the security issues with using suid
02:28.04AzzIzzAimho its an ok solution but you might not consider it suitable

03:05.32NAbyssseth1248: The only other way would be to make a shellscript and allow people to run 'sudo script' to mound it.
03:05.38NAbyssmount even
03:05.49seth1248btw the which command is not available on the zaurus. I did chmod u+s /bin/mount .

03:07.58seth1248Is it possible to run an nfs server on the zaurus ?
03:08.06siriusnovahmm should be
03:08.37NAbyssIIRC, you can either install a userspace nfs daemon, or a slim userspace tool to control the kernel nfs daemon

03:16.18seth1248There are 2 nfs packages in the openzaurus feed kernel-module-nfs-2.6 and nfs-utils. kernel-module-nfs-2.6 seems to install fine, but installing nfs-utils returns: cannot satify the following dependencies for nfs-utils: kernel-module-nfsd
03:29.34siriusnovahmm glib-config isn't in libglib-2.0

16:47.27tobbwhy is ipkg so darn slow on my c860, is there any way to speed it up?
16:47.51TheFoolnot that I know of
16:48.39TheFoolit shouldn't be particularly slow though, the only reasons I could see for slowness is a slow connection to whatever media you are installing the ipk off of.
16:48.46tobbtakes like two minutes two even begin installing something
16:50.29tobbno it's not the media, because it takes a long time to decide that there is no package available if I do ipkg install foo
16:51.48tobbno it didn't, my bad

18:27.51TheFoolI am having a problem getting CardFS to work and I think it's because I misread the instructions.
18:28.28TheFoolI was originally under the impression that I could install CardFS by having it on an SD card while I flashed with my CF card.
18:29.08TheFoolIt seems I was mistaken and I need both on the same card. My card is only 16MB so that is not possible. So I am looking for another way to get CardFS working.
18:30.00TheFoolUnless there is a better way to stick everything on my SD card and leave the system mem for RAM

19:13.06hvontres|poodlethefool: I believe that should work fine.
19:13.31thefoolsweet that seems to be the way to go for me then
19:19.37thefoolso exactly how do I install a bootstrap image lol
19:23.27thefoolnevermind it seems the process is the same as flashing a full OZ

19:32.59kantlivelongi dont get it
19:33.31kantlivelongramfs on /dev
19:33.34kantlivelongwhats that about
19:33.54thefoolnot quite sure what you mean, ramfs is basically a way to use ram like a hard disk, I can't see why that would be used on a zaurus
19:34.11thefoolkantlivelong:  lol, thats just there in case you ever wanted to mount one
19:34.32kantlivelongthefool: i type `mount` and it says ramfs /dev
19:34.49thefoollike there are hda, hdb...hdn and sda sdb etc

19:40.24kantlivelongit dun shut off when AC on
19:45.47camoussehello

19:48.50camoussewhy do you want it ?
19:49.19camoussei have a pdaxrom, but i will install the openzaurus 3.5.4.2 rc2 i compiled few days ago
19:51.49hvontres|poodlekantlivelong: I think the reason /dev is on ramdisk is that udev changes it a lot and you don't want to wear out the flash

19:53.38kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: overcharging
19:54.22hvontres|poodleI've been using it for ~3 months now without any issues
19:55.02kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: well idk whats wrong but it drops from 100% to 75% instantly
19:55.22kantlivelongand the charge light never goes away
19:56.00hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : hmm, well mine will charge up and then the light does go out.
19:56.11kantlivelongmine stays on
19:56.18kantlivelongis it apm controlled?
19:56.32kantlivelonghow can i check my versions
19:56.58hvontres|poodlekantlivelong: I think the charging is controlled in HW.
19:57.13kantlivelongso wat could be my problem?
19:57.33hvontres|poodlejust for sanity, you could go back to the sharp rom to make sure it bahaves the same way.
19:57.34kantlivelongim using direct AC
19:57.53kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: i tried the sharp rom... it refused to boot
19:58.20kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: would u happen 2 have it handy?
19:58.37hvontres|poodleas far as the charge dropping in 25% incs, I think the 2.6 apm code still needed some work...but its a low priority
19:59.07kantlivelongim surprised something as critical as battery is low pri
19:59.26hvontres|poodlekantlivelong: you have a poodle, right?
19:59.29kantlivelongbut do u happen 2 have the sharp roms handy?

20:15.21kantlivelongah ok
20:15.25kantlivelongso thats ok?
20:15.51hvontres|poodleI think somebody needs to sit down and figure out the correct numbers
20:16.05kantlivelongim willin to do it
20:16.10hvontres|poodleI think the old sharp rom only had high,medium and low.
20:16.12kantlivelongwhat does it require
20:16.46hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : you might want to contact RP over on #oe. He is the zaurus kernel god and should have an Idea whats needed.
20:17.02kantlivelongok

20:20.40kantlivelongyeah i figured..
20:20.47kantlivelongbut im curious on why it wont boot

20:23.00RPkantlivelong: software
20:23.13kantlivelongRP: so could it potentially kill my battery?

20:24.37RPkantlivelong: It should be checking the temperature...
20:25.07kantlivelongRP: are the temp/batt levels in /proc?

20:27.08RPkantlivelong: Other than reading the source, no
20:27.35kantlivelongRP: ok.. well may i ask what i should to to monitor these values?
20:28.12RPkantlivelong: We have one active poodle kernel dev (me) and I'm a "bit" stretched :-(
20:28.32RPkantlivelong: I'd enable the debug in the kernel. This presumes you can recompile a kernel?
20:28.49kantlivelongRP: im not sure how to cross compile on gentoo
20:29.21RPkantlivelong: Use OE to build kernels
20:29.27kantlivelongoh?

20:56.40kantlivelongwheres the OZ svn..
20:57.54hvontres|poodlekantlivelong: start here: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted
20:58.16kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: ah i completely overlooked that
20:58.17kantlivelongth
20:58.18kantlivelongx
20:59.39hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : you might want to start in the .oz354 branch for now...It's pretty stable and that is what the current releases are based on.
21:00.01kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: would that be 2.6?
21:00.05hvontres|poodlethe .dev branch can be pretty bleeding edge... havn't tried it myself in a while.
21:00.23hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : yes. for everything but collie (5500)...
21:00.30kantlivelongight
21:01.17kantlivelongbitbake a compiler?
21:02.18hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : sort of... it's a bunch of python scripts that take the recipies (.bb files) and configure the env for propper compiling and packaging...
21:03.08hvontres|poodlewhen you have it set up right you can just bitbake <distro-image> and walk away...depending on your hardware for a long while :)
21:03.32kantlivelongah
21:03.34kantlivelongcool
21:03.46kantlivelongi doubt it will take too long
21:04.27hvontres|poodlethe kernel, no..a whole opie-image took me 3 days... on a dual P-II 333. :) so if you have modern hw, it shouldn't be too bad.
21:05.16kantlivelongi dont plan on building opie/gpe
21:05.48kantlivelongcan i use solaris to compile this?
21:05.57kantlivelongive got a sun box i could do it w/
21:06.07kantlivelongif SMP is supported
21:07.23hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : not sure.. just kernel only takes me ~1 hr now. The first time through will be a bear tho...glibc takes forever..
21:07.47kantlivelongah
21:07.48kantlivelongok
21:07.59kantlivelongcan i compile the gpe package and not opie?
21:09.26hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : sure...so far GPE on poodle hasn't been all theat great tho..It really needs more than 32MB of ram.
21:09.50kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: i use a swapfile :)
21:09.53hvontres|poodleBut with a 32-64 MB swapfile on SD, it at least runs, but kinda slow
21:10.45kantlivelongi just use fluxbox
21:10.51kantlivelongthats all i use GPE for
21:11.17kantlivelongdont need all the fancy GPEness
21:13.32hvontres|poodleplus, most of the stuff I use dosn't have a good GPE replacement..

21:21.30kantlivelongright now i use ext2
21:21.40TheFool? should I be using fat on my SD? I amusing ext2
21:21.50kantlivelongfat is normal yeah
21:22.00kantlivelongi use ext2 tho

21:29.30kollaI'd say 2.6 doesnt support much at all on the collie :)
21:30.32TheFoolah ok I do get an error when trying to install the rootfs "iosetup: ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address"
21:31.25kantlivelongim determined to get the battery levels set in 2.6

22:31.55kantlivelonghmm i have a feeling thats it..
22:32.30hvontres|poodleyeah, or you can just plug the adapter straight into the 5V jack on the bottom :)
22:32.52kantlivelongthats what i did :P
22:33.16kantlivelongwhen i unplug it the pic of the battery is all blue cept the tip..

23:18.38kantlivelongah
23:19.28hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home : The last rc worked ok on poodle at least
23:21.03CoreDump|homewell, recent images "work" as well, sort of. Moving the rootfs to SD permanently would make working with them / for them a lot easier
23:21.03kantlivelong:)
23:21.03kantlivelongCoreDump|home: how u plan on doin that
23:21.40hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home : have you tried loopback images under 2.6 on poodle lately?
23:21.59CoreDump|homebarebone jffs2 image to kickstart altboot, probably no option to boot into the flash image at all. Then the normal root-on-sd stuff
23:22.10CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: nope
23:22.15kantlivelongi was debating ext2 loopbacks but i couldnt decide on them
23:22.32hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home : I was having problems a couple of months ago but haven't had a chance to dig deeper.
23:22.34kantlivelongCoreDump|home: hey im willing to help u test it
23:22.52kantlivelongCoreDump|home: i use the bootstrap just to boot sd.. so im willing to do it
23:23.03CoreDump|homekantlivelong: great =) I'll let you know when I get something up and running
23:23.12kantlivelongCoreDump|home: no prob..
23:23.46CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: I very rarely boot off SD or CF. I mostly boot off an NFS drive (which is almost the same)
23:24.32kantlivelongCoreDump|home: how fast is NFS boot?
23:25.24CoreDump|homewell, not terribly fast =) But once the beast is booted, it is useable
23:25.29kantlivelongCoreDump|home: also may i ask.. im no sure on it... which kernel modules get loaded into mem.. the Int or the SD/CF
23:26.21CoreDump|homekantlivelong: I don't understand the question
23:29.03kantlivelongCoreDump|home: ok when booting... what path are the modules loaded from.. the internal memory or the rootfs?
23:29.51kantlivelonglike if i were booting up altboot to use my SD.. would hostap be loaded from int or sd
23:32.15seth1244Does anyone know if there are any plans of having nfs-server for openzaurus?
23:34.01CoreDump|homekantlivelong: ahh, the first few modules (like sound, or if req'ed network / IDE) are loaded from flash
23:34.31CoreDump|homeseth1244: there should be a samba package available
23:34.57CoreDump|homekantlivelong: in your example hostap would be loaded from SD
23:35.46kantlivelongCoreDump|home: ok wat about alsa?
23:36.21CoreDump|homekantlivelong: ALSA is loaded from flash for the inital "beep" of altboot.
23:36.28kantlivelongCoreDump|home: would there be a way to skip the bootstrap and just go directly to a SD kernel?
23:36.42CoreDump|homekantlivelong: hmmmm
23:36.58CoreDump|homekantlivelong: with kernel 2.6 that *should* be possible, yes
23:37.07CoreDump|homeso poodle: yeah, collie: nope
23:37.10kantlivelongCoreDump|home: should attempt it...
23:37.30CoreDump|homekantlivelong: you'd have to recompile the kernel for that
23:37.47kantlivelongCoreDump|home: yeah i figured.. im still trying to get bb to work...
23:38.21CoreDump|homekantlivelong: I made the experience that if one follows GettingStarted to the letter, the setup usually works fine
23:38.24kantlivelongim surprised its not possible to get lilo/grub to work
23:38.29hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home : So you think a minmal kernel+sd modules +kexec in flash
23:38.45kantlivelongCoreDump|home: i followed it completely.. its just an odd error
23:38.49hvontres|poodlekantlivelong : you can thank the kind folks at sharp for that
23:38.51CoreDump|homekantlivelong: not possible :\
23:38.55kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: yeah
23:39.20CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: kantlivelong made the suggestion to rig the kernel to boot the SD card directly
23:39.25kantlivelongyoud imagine someone installing a linux os on anything would have the brains for changing the BL or even the BL config
23:40.29kantlivelongvery odd..
23:40.31hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home : yeah, but how do you get the sharp bootloader to see the SD card?
23:41.00kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: you dont.. a kernel from the nand would still boot.. but very minimal just to detect SD
23:41.32kantlivelongthen if possible kexec and boot a kernel image from the SD
23:41.43hvontres|poodlelike I said: kernel+sd+kexec ...:)
23:41.50kantlivelongyeah :)
23:41.54CoreDump|homethe bootloader would boot the kernel, kernel uses SD for root
23:42.06kantlivelongyep
23:42.07CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: there would be no kexec involved at all
23:42.22kantlivelongno need for even installing a FS on the nand then rite?
23:42.29kantlivelongas long as u build SD/CF directly
23:42.30CoreDump|homeleaves the not-so-small problem of installing the OS
23:42.41CoreDump|homekantlivelong: correct
23:43.28kantlivelongCoreDump|home: but would it use the kernel on the nand? or would it then use a new one on the sd?
23:43.28CoreDump|homeone could probably use / hack the spitz updater.sh along w/ gnutar
23:43.48CoreDump|homekantlivelong: there can only be one kernel, the one flashed into the NAND
23:43.52hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home : Otoh, 16MB leaves room for one hell of a Bootloader :)
23:44.09CoreDump|home=)
23:44.19kantlivelongCoreDump|home: thats the only thing i dun like.. id prefer being able to update the kernel often but not constantly flashing
23:44.43CoreDump|homekantlivelong: that is not possible w/ a Z
23:44.59hvontres|poodlenot even with kexec?
23:45.31kantlivelongwell i wasnt saying dont have a kernel on nand.. i was suggesting having one just for the sake of booting.. then using an updated on on sd via kexec as hvontres|poodle has said
23:46.18kantlivelongespecially for devs it would be useful to do this.. as they must constantly write to nand...
23:46.49kantlivelongthe kernel on nand would prolly never need an update... if so rarel
23:46.50kantlivelongy
23:47.46CoreDump|homethat would be possible yes. Altboot can be hacking to do this kind of thing
23:48.11kantlivelongCoreDump|home: the prob w/ altboot is that you still need a filesystem to run altboot
23:48.35kantlivelongknow what i mean?
23:48.44CoreDump|homeyeah
23:48.52CoreDump|homewell, can't kexec w/o FS :\
23:48.56kantlivelongid rather use nearly 5% of the nand
23:49.06kantlivelongCoreDump|home: thats true..
23:49.32kantlivelongCoreDump|home: well even the bootstrap install is large.. it has packages... rather bloated.. im sure it can be cut massively correct?
23:50.17CoreDump|homehttp://hentges.net/tmp/screenshots/Zaurus/Akita/Misc/essential-to-boot+wifi.jpg correct

23:53.43kantlivelongor is this a 2.4 kernel running udev?
23:53.59CoreDump|homeone udev on 2.6
23:54.04kantlivelongah
23:54.09kantlivelongshouldnt it just be /dev then?
23:54.27CoreDump|homeuhh, dunno
23:54.44kantlivelongive never heard of /dev/.static/dev... unless its something extra
23:54.56CoreDump|homeanyway, you get the point. bootstrap *could* be shrunk a lot

23:55.44*** join/#openzaurus hrw|gone (n=hrw@intranet.conecto.pl)
23:55.45kantlivelongonly if u plan on doing NFS
23:56.06CoreDump|homew/o wifi you could get it down to *maybe* 3M
23:56.17kantlivelongsmaller the better..
23:56.27kantlivelongis the /dev here mounted on a ramfs?
23:56.49CoreDump|hometmpfs yes
23:57.04kantlivelong10M is rather large...
23:57.16kantlivelongshould be dropped to like 1M
23:57.28kantlivelongalso may i ask what the /media/ram was ever for?
23:57.42kantlivelonghvontres|poodle: btw my charge light went off :)
23:57.50CoreDump|homekantlivelong: actually that doesn't matter since only the "used" space inside the tmpfs is actually taken
23:58.21CoreDump|homekantlivelong: left-over from collie *cough*, also some GPE stuff needs it
23:58.24kantlivelongah yes thats right.. i keep thinking windows where it takes it completely.... (havent used windows in 3 years)
23:59.07kantlivelongim a very minimal person.. i hate seeing unused things... i acctually wish there was more of a plain X11 image..
23:59.32kantlivelongknow what i mean?
23:59.50kantlivelongim seeing bootstrap,opie,gpe,X11 as images...
23:59.52CoreDump|homekantlivelong: GPE can be hacked to be pretty much plain X
