01:10.34rvallesNA|BNE: 11/12mbit... sounds more like usb1
01:11.08agaffneyrvalles: with USB2, there is "full" and "high" (or something)
01:11.14agaffneywith "full" being the lower speed
01:11.23agaffneyyes, it's completely retarded

01:13.47rvallesbtw, does i/o error on resolv.conf ring any bells?
01:16.33rvallesthat happened to me... twice
01:16.45rvalleson my attempts to make root be in SD
01:17.03rvallesI think it's related to /var being tmpfs
01:17.14rvallesand /etc/resolv.conf being a link to /var
01:17.19rvallesit makes the kernel crazy or something
01:18.37rvallesnow I'm on the (stable) system on the flash...
01:18.39rvallesand...
01:18.45rvalleslogged out
01:18.50rvallesand that's it... I cannot do nothing
01:18.58rvallesthe image from me logging out remains
01:19.05rvallesbut I cannot do anything
01:19.09rvallescrazy stuff
01:22.00agaffneyrvalles: did you create the loopback with the menu option in altboot?
01:23.13rvallesagaffney: no, I mkfs'd an ext2 at the first (and only) partition on the SD
01:23.21rvallesagaffney: and then told him to install directly
01:23.35rvallesdid that twice, ended up with the same problem twice
01:23.53agaffney"install directly"?
01:23.56rvallesyup
01:24.00agaffneyah, ok
01:24.01rvallesbasically
01:24.04agaffneynm
01:24.10agaffneyI misunderstood
01:24.12rvallesaltboot... -> 8 (install rootfs from tarball)
01:24.20rvalles-> to sd
01:24.21agaffneyok, then yes, you did it from altboot
01:24.24rvalles-> install directly
01:24.28rvalles-> yes
01:24.33agaffneyaltboot fucks things up
01:24.36agaffneyyou have to do it by hand
01:24.44rvalleson my first try
01:24.47rvallesI did it by hand
01:24.52agaffneyhow exactly?
01:24.57rvallesunpacked the tarball in the ext2 partition
01:24.59rvallesin my computer
01:25.06rvallesthen unmounted
01:25.12rvallesand put the SD in the zaurus
01:25.21rvallesand told altboot to "boot from SD"
01:25.22agaffneybecause the only way that most people have been able to get it to work is to create a fat32 filesystem, create an ext2 loopback on it, and extract the tarball in the loopback
01:25.28rvallesthat was all
01:25.36agaffneyfor some reason, collie doesn't like ext2 directly on SD
01:25.55rvallesthat's a tip that the wiki _must_ have written there, already
01:26.44rvallesso I should just run altboot again and tell it to install in a loopback
01:27.27rvallesand that, of course, after making the SD be a vfat partition by doing mkfs.vfat /dev/the_sd_partition_1 on my computer
01:27.31rvallesam I right?
01:28.06agaffneyno, don't use altboot
01:28.09agaffneyyou don't listen :P
01:28.12agaffneyaltboot messes it up
01:28.15agaffneyin all cases
01:28.18agaffneyat least on collie
01:28.28agaffneyyou need to do it in another compouter
01:28.30agaffney*computer
01:29.18rvallesok
01:29.23rvallesso
01:29.34rvalles1. I _must_ do it in the computer
01:30.04rvalles2. I _must_ make a loopback inside the vfat
01:30.12rvallesagaffney: am I right?
01:30.45rvalleswhat a pita
01:31.49rvallestsunami mnt # mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1
01:31.49rvallesmkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
01:32.22agaffneyrvalles: pretty much
01:32.35rvallesagaffney: ok
01:32.37rvallesand now
01:32.41agaffneyand it's the same thing altboot does for a loopback
01:32.47rvalleshow should I call this "loopback image"?
01:32.47agaffneyalthough, it may use ext2 directly on the card
01:33.04agaffneywhatever you want, as long as it ends with -rootfs.bin
01:33.05agaffneyiirc
01:33.14rvallesin / is okay?
01:33.22agaffneyand is in the folder /boot-images/ on the vfat
01:33.24rvallesor should I put it in that infamous boot-images/
01:33.26rvallesok
01:34.06rvallestsunami boot-images # dd if=/dev/zero of=collie-rootfs.bin
01:34.13rvallesagaffney: good enough?
01:34.33agaffneyuhh, you might want to define a size :P
01:34.42agaffneybs=1M count=300
01:34.44rvallesif I'm right I'll end up with the biggest possible
01:34.45agaffneyfor 300MB
01:34.46*** join/#openzaurus punkass (n=user@unaffiliated/punkass)
01:34.54rvallesmultiple of the default BS for dd
01:35.11agaffneysure
01:35.20agaffneybut it never hurts to leave a bit of room on the SD card
01:35.29agaffneyyou'll never use that much space in your install
01:35.35agaffneythere aren't that many apps to install :P
01:36.53rvallestsunami boot-images # dd if=/dev/zero of=collie-rootfs.bin bs=1M count=950
01:37.07rvalles(df showed 981M free, so that leaves 31)
01:38.14agaffneygood enough
01:38.45agaffneynow 'mke2fs collie-rootfs.bin' and 'mount -o loop collie-rootfs.bin /mnt/point' and extract the rootfs
01:38.49rvalles/dev/sdc1             981M  951M   31M  97% /mnt/securedigital
01:38.52rvallesin fact.
01:42.23rvallesunpacking the tarball.
01:42.28rvallesunpacked.
01:43.18rvallesnow, should I just unmount it, sync (just in case) and boot the zaurus telling altboot to boot from SD, agaffney?
01:45.53agaffneyyep
01:46.07agaffneyand hopefully, it will now boot without all the I/O errors
01:46.18agaffneymany people have run into the same issue on collie with SD root
01:46.24agaffneynobody knows why
01:46.35agaffneynobody probably cares enough to figure out why :P
01:46.57rvallesprobably some bug on the SD driver
01:47.39agaffneythere are lots of those :P
01:49.14rvallesbooting...
01:52.18*** join/#openzaurus zap-zero (i=andi@v31521.1blu.de)
01:53.14rvallesno idea if it'll work better, agaffney
01:53.16rvallesbut in any case
01:53.32rvallesit's terribly slow compared to when it was unstable and directly ext2
01:54.56agaffneyreally? I didn't notice much of a difference
01:55.07agaffneybut then, I never got completely booted any of the other ways :P
01:56.18rvallesso, I guess I got farther than u
01:56.25rvalles... with direct ext3.
01:56.53agaffneywell, it acted different each time
01:56.59agaffneyit actually did get to opie once
01:57.11agaffneybut then it locked up after a few minutes
01:57.14agaffneyand didn't boot back into it
01:58.09rvallesbtw
01:58.14rvallesdoes powering down
01:58.16rvallesrebooting
01:58.23rvallesand this sort of stuff work properly for you on your collie?
01:58.40agaffneyyes
01:59.11rvallesI've had strange issues
01:59.12rvallesbut well
01:59.18rvallesI guess they're all correlated
01:59.27rvallesto the ext2/3 on SD drama I've lived through
02:00.15rvallesoh, just noticed I can rotate the desktop
02:00.16rvallespretty cool
02:09.26rvalleswell
02:09.36rvallesI think I'll tell the zaurus to suspend
02:09.42rvallesand leave it on the base
02:09.45rvalleswhile I go to sleep

08:41.33Kevin`http://kwzs.be/~kevin/dmesg.txt - error at the bottom
08:49.07teledynare there any phone apps?
08:49.22teledyni just read about this project: http://www.ddj.com/dept/opensource/197004438?cid=RSSfeed_DDJ_All
08:50.24Kevin`hmm, I thought i've already seen linux based phones
08:50.46Kevin`maybe not completely open source
08:54.49Kevin`nobody want to help with my wifi?
08:55.07Kevin`I tried it in a laptop and it crashed the computer, so I hope it's not broken
08:58.08webmindI'd consider broken as a calid option
08:58.12webmindvalid
08:58.50Kevin`i'm backing it up now to put a release OZ version on it that was working with the card before
08:58.57webmindow
08:59.01webmindI meant the card
08:59.04Kevin`I know
08:59.08webmindk
08:59.33Kevin`if the card doesn't work with that i'll know it's changed, and probably broken then
09:06.46teledynKevin`: this would conceivable be able to run on a zaurus
09:06.53Kevin`?
09:07.03Kevin`what would be
09:07.17teledynhttp://gpephone.linuxtogo.org/
09:07.41Kevin`heh, if I had a cellular interface of some sort :)
09:07.48teledynoh
09:08.15teledynisn't there any webphone app like skype available?
09:08.28Kevin`never looked into it
09:09.05Kevin`skype wouldn't be my first choice though, as they are proprietary and proud of it
09:09.42webmindteledyn, like skype, yes, skype, no
09:09.51teledynmine either, except you can call any land line from it
09:10.06webmindatleast I've used kphone on my Z
09:10.26teledynwebmind: really?  but you can only call other kphone instances?
09:10.27webmindteledyn, skype isn't the first who provides that
09:10.38webmindteledyn, without a voip account, yes
09:10.47webmindbut there are a load of voip-landline providers
09:10.57webmindunlike with skype, you actually have choice
09:10.58teledynwow i didn't know that
09:11.09webmindwww.voip-info.org
09:11.24teledyni was just gonna ask you how to find providers!  thanks.
09:11.42webmindthat's the thing that skype has, marketing
09:12.47webmindbabble.net was afaik a cheap one
09:25.38teledynit works with kphone?  want to be sure before I "top up" for £5  
09:26.22teledyni love british colloquialisms btw.
09:28.32webmindteledyn, kphone uses sip, if babble uses sip
09:28.35webmindit should work
09:28.49webmindno idea on the quality though, or if the Z works well enough
09:28.57webmindI recall having crappy links in 2004
09:29.09webmindbut that was over an overcrowded wifi
09:29.15teledynwell i don't have long distance anyhow and use skype, so this would be useful even if not on the Z
09:29.25webmindk
09:29.44teledynits definitely worth the £5 to check it out
09:30.35teledynit funny how there's all this stuff with device form factors.   will the future phone look like a phone, or a PDA, or what?  i think the PDA will win
09:31.19teledynif you are going to lug around a piece of gear, it might was well be useful like a Z
09:38.45webmindthe mda's seem to be winning :)
09:38.52webmindwhich is, yeah, pda sized
09:39.32webmindyou want a keyboard on such a device anyway
09:40.11teledynyes
10:07.56Kevin`hmm, the card initialized properly in 0.5.4.1 or whatever the current is, so it must be a problem with the newer driver or my use of it
10:08.15Kevin`writing a filesystem to CF takes too long :(
10:20.12rvallesdamn, it didn't even show me a list and then ask me if I wanted to continue
10:20.25rvallesI suppose I need some flag for that

14:58.29rvallesok
14:58.34rvallesthings are working fine
14:58.34rvalles:)
14:58.43rvallesnow I have a problem to solve
14:58.45rvallesI need... feeds!
14:59.05rvallesapparently, the default feeds have a lot of programs (even dosbox, gimp...)
14:59.08rvallesbut no games :(
14:59.37mimecarthere're some games
14:59.42mimecarbut the're very simple
15:00.23mimecarthere's a package name gpe-games or similar with some games
15:00.35mimecaryou have abuse game, but I don't know if you can run it on collie
15:00.36rvallesquake1 - 0.0.1-r2 - Quake 1                                  
15:00.40rvallesthere's quake
15:00.47rvallesamazing
15:00.48rvallesbut
15:01.03mimecarquake con Cx00 models works
15:01.07mimecarbut on collie...

17:37.05rvallesdamn
17:37.12rvallesthat mirror isn't working
17:37.15rvallescan someone remove it?
17:37.25rvallesit stops me every damn time
17:37.26mimecarwhere's that mirror ?
17:38.38rvallesI have no idea/I don't care
17:38.54rvallesbut the balancer at openzaurus redirects to it at times
17:38.55mimecarall the feeds are on /etc/ipkg.conf
17:38.57rvallesand it isn't working
17:39.20rvallesyes, they are, but the OZ feeds redirect the user to a mirror
17:39.33rvallesI assume load balancing
18:39.25rvallesargh, damnit
18:39.29rvallesnothing goes at it should
18:39.48rvallestask-opie-base depends on bluez-utils-nodbus for some reason
18:40.12rvallesbut since I have created my root from a GPE tarball, I have bluez-utils-dbus
18:40.21rvallesand so, they cannot be installed at the same time
18:40.23rvallesdepressing.
18:47.37rvallesfunniest part is that I don't even have BT, so I don't give a damn
18:48.11rvallesI guess that means bye to the main "task" package for either opie or gpe and hello to doing more things by hand
18:59.51rvallesConnecting to divbyzero.homelinux.net[74.121.39.197]:8080...
18:59.54rvallesdamnit, every now and then
19:00.08rvallesI cannot install anything big that I end up which this mirror that doesn't work...
19:12.57rvalleswell, forced one of the mirrors, one that is working

23:18.23rvallesis there any tool for the terminal/shell to control the backlight of a collie? Without having to start opie or gpe
23:18.46mimecarI think you must use opie or gpe applet
23:18.56mimecaron console I don't know any program
23:21.30rvalleswhat a pain :/
23:21.47rvallesmimecar: I have stuff almost working as I want
23:22.04mimecarthat sounds good
23:22.12rvallesfigured out the calendar button works as both control and alt
23:22.18rvallesin the linux console
23:22.34mimecarare you with gpe, aren't you ?
23:22.38rvallesso I can switch VTs painlessy
23:22.44rvallesmimecar: I have both GPE and opie
23:22.55rvallesand I can have them running at the same time ;)
23:23.04rvallesbut I set it up so that neither starts up on boot
23:23.15rvallesand I have to login in the framebuffer linux console
23:23.25mimecarthen, you haven't problems with reboot on gpe ?
23:23.37mimecarlaunch gpe and open some app
23:23.44mimecarthen, move it to background
23:23.51mimecarand reboot with the reset button
23:24.50rvallesno, I have no problem, mimecar
23:25.03rvallesbut I won't reboot with the reset button
23:25.05mimecarok
23:25.07rvallesthat's suicide ;)
23:25.18rvallesif IO is being done and one reboots
23:25.23rvallesis like asking for corruption
23:25.26mimecaryes
23:25.44rvallesso far I haven't had to reboot like that
23:25.47mimecarbut it's the same as one system hang
23:25.49rvallesI also made two partitions
23:25.52rvallesin the SD
23:26.26rvallesfirst is the vfat containing the (as big as the vfat) ext2 root
23:26.27rvallessecond is a 128MB swap partition
23:26.28rvalleswhich gets set up on boot :)
23:26.51mimecarrvalles: what do you think about this summary: http://www.innerzaurus.com/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=12&id=120&Itemid=172
23:27.05mimecarit's an article I'm working
23:27.24rvallesinteresting
23:27.30rvallestoo bad not for collie
23:27.36mimecartemporally
23:27.52rvallesI might have to put myself into making SD work on 2.6
23:27.55mimecarif you don't want sd card working, you can use it
23:28.04mimecarthere're some projects
23:28.11mimecarcheck OESF forums to see it
23:28.12rvalleswho is working on it? any idea?
23:28.14rvallesok
23:28.34*** join/#openzaurus Blue89 (n=IceChat7@c-24-3-7-118.hsd1.mn.comcast.net)
23:31.07rvallesmimecar: btw
23:31.12rvallesmimecar: you can see me at jabber, but I can't see you
23:31.22rvallesmimecar: please resubscribe or whatever
23:31.47Blue89do you guys help for pdaxrom?
23:32.04Blue89(I was redirected here)
23:32.16mimecarI haven't use pdaxrom Blue89
23:32.39Blue89I want to flash my c3200 with it, but  Iam not sure which version to download
23:32.46Blue89ah
23:32.59mimecarhave you ask on the #pdaxrom channel ?
23:33.24Blue89I don't think that exists, I;m pretty sure I tried to join it once before. I will try again
23:33.46Blue89nope, empty channel
23:34.03Blue89is it on another network?
23:34.22mimecarno idea, have you search on their website?
23:34.33Blue89then again, you guys ar eeasier to find, I should at least consider using OZ instead
23:34.48Blue89does OZ have X?
23:34.50mimecarcame to the dark side :)
23:34.56mimecaryes, with the gpe GUI
23:34.57Blue89lol
23:39.05Blue89are there feeds for OZ that carry other DEs/WMs/etc?
23:39.32mimecarno idea
23:39.34Blue89so ex. if I like fluxbox or enlightenment I can use that instead
23:40.06Blue89they have that for pdaxrom I beleive, but tthe feeds are probably the same anyway
23:40.39Blue89does OZ come with automake so I can rebuild whatever it is missing?
23:40.57mimecaryou have bitbake to build programs
23:41.08Blue89never heard of it...
23:43.10rvallesand, oh, btw
23:43.24rvallesSysRq
23:43.56rvallesis that possible with collie OZ' kernel?
23:44.19mimecarwhat ?
23:44.26rvallesI mean, maybe someone patched it to make it so that SysRq can be made by pressing a combination of keys
23:44.41mimecarI don't know what's sysrq
23:44.51rvallesmimecar: sysrq is a interrupt-level emergency thingy from the kernel
23:44.58mimecarok
23:45.26rvallesmimecar: allowing, using a key combo (altgr+printscreen+whatever in a PC) to do many functions
23:45.31Blue89bitbake sounds useful, I was wandering if I could get portage working on it anyway
23:45.53rvalles"whatever" can be for example S, to force sync all disks, mimecar
23:46.03rvallesU to force unmount or remount readonly all filesystems
23:46.08rvallesB to reboot
23:46.32rvallesmimecar: quite convenient in case of some crash where you cannot control the kernel otherwise
23:47.02rvallesor those cases you would be able to solve via ssh but since you're, say, on the train, you cannot solve and you'd press reset.
23:48.27rvallesmimecar: http://wiki.openzaurus.org/KernelInfo26#SysRq
23:48.36rvallesseems it's this easy, with 2.6 kernels
