01:13.29summatusmentisso I just got a 3200 today, and I screwed up flashing it, I was just reading down the wiki, but I flashed before doing the HD partitioning, or anything else
01:13.33summatusmentisis there a way to fix this?
01:13.51hrwsure
01:13.53hrwflash again
01:14.39summatusmentisI need to partition and everything first, but part of OZ is already on it. Go back to sharp rom(from the CDs)? is that what you mean?
01:14.48hrwah..
01:15.02hrwI forgot that 3100/3200 need repartition
01:15.13hrwAC out, battery out
01:15.18summatusmentisI'm getting a 'Kernel panic- not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel." error
01:15.29hrwhold D B keys, connect AC
01:15.39hrwit will boot into rescue mode
01:15.50hrwlogin as root and use fdisk
01:18.10summatusmentisto do the partitioning, from the wiki
01:29.07summatusmentishrw: thanks alot. I was worried I'd bricked it :-/
01:29.32hrwonly collie can be bricked
01:29.43summatusmentisreally? that's good to know

18:31.28krangI just got a CL-3200 and am mildly confused by the OZ installation instructions. They say that we "ignore the flash entirely and boot from the hard drive", and then proceed to instruct you on how to flash your zaurus. Which is it?
18:31.42hrwkernel is in flash
18:32.04kranghrw: ah, so we ignore it mostly rather than entirely then I guess :-)
18:32.06hrwsharprom use flash also for rootfs but we keep rootfs on microdrive
18:32.34kranghrw: So just to clarify, I partition my microdrive, and then perform the flashing process, and that's it, yes?
18:32.50hrwyes
18:33.01kranghrw: well thank goodness for that!
18:33.23kranghrw: how would I restore to factory state if anything screws up, is that possible?
18:33.41hrwit is possible
18:33.49hrwnand backup/restore is a key
18:34.20krangah, so if I backup my NAND, I can just bung the resultant files on a card and reload them?
18:35.20hrwyes
18:35.47krangBeauty. Thanks dude, that puts my mind at ease. Off I go then!
18:37.07krangOh, one more question, the: the "Backup/Restore" app will do a full NAND backup, yes? It doesn't miss anything?
18:37.13hrwno
18:37.20krangsweet, thanks
18:37.33hrwnand backup/restore is part of internal diagnostics not part of system
18:37.59kranghrw: oh, how do I backup NAND then? I didn't see a link to a howto
18:39.07hrwits like that: if you really need it then you find it.
18:39.15hrwdig in OZ wiki and in OESF wiki
18:40.07krangcheersely doos, I'll do that.

19:48.21lindenleHi I cannot install python-curses in openzaurus 5.4.1. It complains that libcurses is a non-resolvable dependancy, but I have ncurses installed. Can anyone help?
19:49.06mimecarwhat's the version of ncrusrse you need ?
19:57.30lindenlemimecar: so when i try to ipkg install python-curse I get: http://pastebin.com/853703...looks like ncurses5 and I have ncurses - 5.4-r8 installed
19:59.47mimecarone moment
20:03.04krangHey all, I'm just trying to do a NAND backup before installing OZ, but the menu is all in Japanese. Anyone know of a translation of the menu system or a walkthrough somewhere?
20:03.23mimecarhave you check the openzaurus wiki ?
20:03.42krangYeah, it's a bit sparse
20:04.04mimecarit should be something related on wiki
20:04.14mimecarbut ALL the menus are in japan
20:05.00mimecarlindenle: have you the same version of the library ?
20:05.24krangThe wiki says "page 3, 1: NAND Flash Back Up" as the next step. It could mean select option 3 followed by option 1, but I really don't want to break anything, so I'd like to be sure
20:05.50mimecarok
20:06.56krangis there nobody in here that knows what the menu options mean?
20:07.14mimecarkrang: I haven't your model
20:07.55krangmimecar: ah yes, diversity. it can be a real pain in the butt when coupled with obscurity :-)
20:08.08lindenlemimecar: There is no library package but I have: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 -> /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.4
20:08.27mimecaryou can force the installation
20:08.32mimecarit can work with luck
20:10.16lindenleok I try
20:15.36lindenlewhat
20:15.48lindenlesorry wrong window
20:16.06summatusmentishrm... no e17 images
20:22.49krangI don't suppose anyone here reads japanese do they? I've got a menu image that I would love to get translated so I can backup my NAND

20:25.17fedelocohi all, new to zaurus (sl6000L), still under sharp rom. is there anything like apt repositories for ipk ? (dependency handling)
20:29.04*** join/#openzaurus Thaiger (n=HP_Admin@nv-71-55-106-1.dhcp.embarqhsd.net)
20:30.25ThaigerOK, in opie I set the little card manager thing to eject the card coming back from suspend and whatever the other option is.  So now no matter what I do it ejects the card and I can't configure it again unless the card is inserted.  Is there a config file I can change or do I need to reflash yet again
20:31.29summatusmentiskrang: back up your NAND. that's not the process described here ->http://wiki.openzaurus.org/Spitz/Install is it?
20:31.56summatusmentisfedeloco: not on the sharp rom I don't think
20:32.00summatusmentisOZ does that
20:32.14krangno
20:32.27krangsummatusmentis: that's eveything *but* the nand
20:32.51fedelocook I guess I'll have to flash to OZ. Cheers
20:33.16summatusmentiskrang: oh... ok, I'm not sure how to do that then
20:33.24hrwfedeloco: sharprom is not maintained at all so no feeds
20:33.28summatusmentisfedeloco: most ROMS will do that, just not sharp
20:33.42hrwfedeloco: and tosa (sl6000) is not popular due to its cost
20:34.10krangsummatusmentis: thanks anyway dude :-)
20:34.36summatusmentiskrang: sure thing, I'm sure there are instructions somewhere
20:34.36fedelocoall right, got a second hand one, too bad sharp is not doing a good job following up
20:35.01krangsummatusmentis: that's what *I* said before I started searching an hour ago
20:35.32fedelocowould you recommend opie or gpe ?
20:35.36summatusmentiskrang: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=NAND_Flash_Backup
20:35.45summatusmentisfedeloco: I like gpe, as it's X based
20:37.00fedelocodo you think wifi will work out of the box ? I mostly use it for internet
20:37.04krangsummatusmentis: been there. Both unclear, and for the wrong model (I've got an Sl-C3200)
20:37.15krangsummatusmentis: cheers though :-)
20:37.55summatusmentiskrang: might be the same process, have you tried it?
20:38.39krangsummatusmentis: No, because mine isn't even in the same language and *one* of those options is "erase". Waaaay to risky :-)
20:40.38summatusmentiskrang: ah

20:40.58summatusmentisis there any particular reason you want to backup your own? trisoft has a NAND backup available for download
20:41.10krangsummatusmentis: I did just find a pdf that is promising though, I have a translation of the first page!
20:41.27HYBHey, is a card reader needed to install OpenZaurus?
20:41.37krangsummatusmentis: Well, just wanted to be sure. Besides, now that I have their manual, I might be fine anyway!
20:42.03ThaigerCan anyone recommened a program for windows that will let me format something ext2?
20:42.06summatusmentisHYB, you need to have a way to put stuff on a CF or SD card, in order to install OZ
20:42.30summatusmentisThaiger: knoppix :-) nothing for windows that I know of...
20:42.30HYBAlright
20:42.50summatusmentisHYB: it doesn't need to be a card reader, could be a camera, or something else I suppose
20:42.55Thaigersummatusmentis: Hm... I wonder if knoppix would see my card reader..
20:43.09HYBsummatusmentis, i couldn't download the image onto my the card from my zaurus?
20:43.22summatusmentisThaiger: internal?

20:54.34lindenleWhy do I have tio run ipkg-link by hand when i install packages in 3.5.4.1?
20:57.39summatusmentislindenle: I think you've always had to run ipkg-link by hand
20:57.49summatusmentisunless installing to /
20:58.15lindenlesummatusmentis:  oh ok then it makes sense
21:00.53lindenleAntone know what python package in openzaurus contains imaplib?
21:01.39Thaigersummatusmentis: Yeah, internal
21:02.39lindenleThaiger: was that for me?

21:26.07Thaigerlindenle: As far as I can tell no package has it, but since its interpreted and all that you may be able to grab it and drop it in the right place
21:28.26lindenleThaiger: I tried that but it does not seem to see it
21:28.49lindenleThaiger: Do i have to tell python about it somehow
21:30.54lindenleThaiger: BTW this is all so I can us ccal on the zaurus...looks  awesome
21:31.40Thaigerlindenle: Unfortuenatley I don't do python, but I imagine you have to put it in the library path, or add to the library path
