00:06.44Blue89I was reading the Spitz install guide, and I am not sure about something... does this guid assume that I am already using uboot?
00:06.52Blue89guide*
00:07.14Blue89I am not, and I figured if I am supposed to be and I don't it will be bricked
00:07.39mimecarI have a collie model, and installation is diferent
00:07.42Blue89(probably not, but worth checking)
00:07.44mimecarI can't help you
00:08.04Kevin`I have a spitz-like device, what's up?
00:08.32Blue89does the install guide assume that I am already using uboot?
00:08.41Kevin`Blue89 the guide assumes you are NOT using uboot, afaik. and I recommend you keep it that way, as the built in updater is rather easy to use and works
00:08.55Blue89good
00:09.09Kevin`last I saw u-boot didn't have a UI accessible from the device, right?
00:09.19Blue89I thought since pdaxrom requires uboot that this might too
00:09.30Kevin`pdaxrom uses it yes, iirc
00:09.34Blue89(but it wasn't mentioned on the wiki)
00:09.38Kevin`this doesn't
00:09.51Kevin`your installing root to a hard drive, yes?
00:11.08Blue89yes, afaik
00:11.08Kevin`the only thing openzaurus keeps in flash on this platform is the kernel image
00:11.08Kevin`i'm actually running debian etch on mine now..
00:11.08Blue89ah
00:11.38Kevin`diff kexec-tools-dbg_1.101-r0_armv5te.ipk  kexec-tools_1.101-r0_armv5te.ipk ?
00:12.45Blue89Kevin`, "For 2.6 kernels we ignore the flash entirely and install/boot directly from the microdrive."
00:13.06Kevin`well that's not completely true, the kernel is still in the flash :)
00:13.14Blue89ah
00:13.33Kevin`I intend to change that shortly by making a kexec based bootloader..
00:14.06Kevin`assuming kexec actually works

20:47.28Blue89LOL I forgot
20:48.21Blue89oh well, I'm in pentoo now, mitgh as well use the faster one untill the flash is finished
20:48.51Blue89how do I know if my wifi card will work in OZ? (it worked out of the box in sharp)
20:50.28Blue89one more stupid question before I go ahead with the flash: does teh rest of the card have to be blank or will a card cluttered with other files do?
20:53.59Kevin`Blue89 clutter is fine
20:55.17Blue89okay, I am in the root terminal
20:57.52Blue89?
20:57.56Kevin`?
20:58.07Blue89is it normal that I cannot see / characters in my terminal?
20:58.18Kevin`no
20:58.26Blue89I do shift + , and I get ,
20:58.42Kevin`isn't shift+, /?
20:58.48Kevin`erm, that's what you said
20:58.50Kevin`heh
20:59.08Blue89I had the same problem with xterm under x/qt but I thought it was an xterm problem
20:59.35Kevin`try loading the keymap from /etc/keymap-2.6
20:59.36Blue89you would think the spitz-like device would be designed to recognize it's own keymap...
20:59.45Kevin`well, it did for me..
21:00.11Blue89I got the device from geekstuff4u and they messed with some other things too
21:00.31Blue89the usb hid drivers were not version matched with my kernel for example
21:00.51Kevin`mine came in japanese :)
21:01.07Blue89how do I load a keymap? I never had to do that before...
21:01.15Kevin`cd ..
21:01.16Kevin`cd ..
21:01.17Kevin`cd etc
21:01.24Kevin`loadkeys keymap-2.6
21:01.36Blue89ok
21:02.10Kevin`you are using a release openzaurus install and the keymap is broken?
21:02.25Blue89"can't cd to etc" I must have to go through home first
21:02.32Blue89no, I am installing
21:02.42Blue89still in the root terminal for hdd formatting
21:02.58Kevin`the root terminal from the ROM d+b?
21:03.03Blue89yes
21:03.12Kevin`that's not good that it's messed up..
21:03.32Kevin`I suppose you could flash it to the original version if you want
21:03.40Blue89is it possible that the keys look funny but that they are still functional?
21:03.53Kevin`I doubt it, but try it
21:03.56Blue89(merely a wierd looking terminal)
21:03.59Blue89ok
21:04.59Kevin`which device do you have
21:05.16Blue89SL-C3200 Terrier
21:05.30Kevin`I have the original flash backup I made from mine if you want
21:05.51Blue89nope, "unable to open ,dev,hda"
21:06.10Blue89so, I have to flash it just to flash it?
21:06.13Blue89lol
21:07.19Blue89I will try this out a while longer first Kevin`, but I know where to find you when that doesn't work :-)
21:07.26Kevin`ya, shift+, works for mine for "/"
21:07.50Blue89I think it will still work if I can cd into folders one at a time
21:08.19Blue89but if I make a mistake I can't cd /, I will have to do the d+b thing again...
21:08.39Kevin`cd ..
21:08.55Blue89"cd .." is that root?
21:09.06Kevin`no, that's the next directory up
21:09.09Kevin`you'd have to do it a few times
21:09.18Blue89ah cool :-)
21:09.49Kevin`wonder if you could just attach a usb keyboard, which would have a standard keymap
21:10.04Blue89I don't own one, but I already thought of that
21:10.41Kevin`oh, if you ever try, and your using the proper keymap, "fn" = f3"
21:10.48Kevin`f3 on the usb keyboard
21:11.03Blue89ah I will remember that
21:13.23Blue89haha
21:13.39Blue89I finally gt it to cd into etc and "loadkeys" is not found
21:14.44Blue89at least I got fdisk hda to work, should be ok now
21:15.46Kevin`http://kwzs.be/zaurus/ - if you want
21:15.58Blue89that is the original jap image?
21:16.03Kevin`yes
21:16.08Kevin`iirc :)
21:16.24Blue89I will keep it in mind
21:16.46Blue89I wander what sharp rom will do if I try to boot it after I blow away the partition table...
21:16.56Kevin`it will be confused
21:17.26Blue89sparks may fly, let's not try it :-)
21:18.54Blue89it isn't? that sux
21:19.13Blue89I hope it isn't messed up in OZ...

21:25.42Blue89*click*
21:33.22Blue89okay, it is extracting now, almost time to reboot
21:34.29Blue89is there supposed to be a flood of tar messages during the reflash?
21:35.46Blue89I guess something failed, I am getting hundreds of "could not create file" or directory messages
21:37.21Blue89I think I was supposed to mkfs earlier...
21:37.59Kevin`you didn't try to copy it to ram or something, did you?
21:38.05Blue89?
21:38.07Kevin`did you mount the hard drive?
21:38.14Kevin`and go to where it's mounted?
21:38.33Blue89I used windows to copy the image to the card
21:38.43Blue89copy->paste
21:39.02Blue89then I CD'd into /dev
21:39.11Kevin`I mean extracting the tar file. did you mount the hard drive in the zaurus?
21:39.43Kevin`heh why windows, didn't you have gentoo or something? *shrug*
21:40.06Blue89it's just what I had infront of me at the moment, not like it matters which OS I use to setup the flash
21:40.22Blue89I didn't do the tar thing, it was automatic
21:40.39Kevin`heh, I forget how the install works
21:40.43Kevin`it's been a while
21:40.56Blue89is it possible that there was a mkfs missing from the instructions?
21:41.09Blue89lst I checked you have to do that aftre you fdisk
21:41.20Blue89but I didn't because it wasn't in the instructions
21:41.27Blue89(that I saw anyway)
21:41.30Kevin`well, the install procedure could do it itself
21:41.34Kevin`but doing it wouldn't hurt
21:42.08Blue89ok... so what do I do now?
21:42.26Blue89I am guessing that the root terminal is gone, along with fdisk
21:42.34Kevin`it should still be ther
21:42.46Kevin`that's on the flash chip
21:42.58Blue89... but I just flashed it
21:43.05Blue89and THEN I got errors
21:43.18Kevin`the installer doesn't overwrite the entire flash, just the kernel image
21:43.25Blue89ah
21:45.48Blue89my root terminal is still there
21:46.00Kevin`hmm, I suspect extracting the hard drive image is done from the recovery shell right after the kernel is flashed?
21:46.34Blue89yes
21:47.16Blue89I just did the mkfs.ext2 manually, I am going to retry the flash
21:47.16Kevin`I suspect it could fail if that environment was modified
21:47.17Kevin`try that first though :)
21:48.08Kevin`the instructions include making a filesystem on the disk
21:48.27Blue89only AFTER the flash though
21:48.44Kevin`it wouldn't make sense after the flash
21:48.50Kevin`you'd be erasing the data
21:49.07Kevin`oh I see what it's doing
21:49.08Kevin`meh
21:50.04Kevin`oh, I recommend you give 5872mb to hda1, and the remaining 128mb to hda2, as a swap partition
21:50.08Kevin`just a suggestion :)

21:50.59Kevin`ya, reset key I suppose
21:51.04Blue89ok
21:51.27Blue89when I switched the battery lock it turned itelf off
21:52.00Blue89now if it would be that easy to get it booted I would be really impressed... lol
21:52.02Kevin`it helps to leave the case off and the battery lock locked
21:52.07Kevin`so you can still reach the key

21:55.40Blue89no error messages so far, I think it is working this time
21:56.36Blue89awww... it did it again
21:56.56Blue89I didn't check the md5sum, that might be a bad image I guess
21:57.24Kevin`could be the recovery environment in flash is messed up ;)
21:57.55Blue89don't even say that! :-{
21:58.21Blue89now back to "kernel panic - no init found"
21:58.31Kevin`well, it would be easy to fix, by putting the correct image there, if that was the problem
21:58.44Kevin`why don't you just extract the contents of the tar file yourself to the disk?
21:59.09Blue89you are sure that will work? I am game
21:59.25Blue89as long as I have a working SD driver in root terminal
21:59.46Kevin`do you?
21:59.55Blue89I am asking you ;-)
21:59.56Kevin`it should have one unless it's broken
22:00.42Blue89crap... to extract manually implies that I can do a / to tell tar where the image is going...
22:00.55Kevin`hm, might be hard without "/" :/
22:01.18Blue89I can only do the cd workaround for one directory at a time
22:02.02Kevin`if I were you i'd make a backup of whatever you have in flash and put the oringal japanese rom there
22:05.03*** part/#openzaurus _law_ (n=_law_@213.173.86.202)
22:05.12Blue89I don't think the nand terminal can understand vfat
22:05.33Blue89I have an ext2 card laying around. I will try putting the files on that
22:05.35Kevin`so make it non-vfat
22:05.51Kevin`the nand terminal understands fat only I believe
22:05.54Kevin`not ext2
22:06.06Blue89?
22:06.09Blue89wierd
22:06.35Kevin`ext2 is a rather complicated filesystem compared to fat
22:06.46Kevin`and the maintenance menu isn't linux based
22:07.16Blue89it looks like linux to me
22:07.26Kevin`the one you get from D+M
22:07.31Kevin`not the shell
22:07.56Blue89I mean the d+b one
22:08.11Kevin`that should understand vfat

22:12.30Blue89I don't know how to go any further without a / key...
22:13.36Kevin`i'm making a backup of mine in it's current state right now (just to check if the filenames are correct mostly), you can have that if you want, or the one from earlier
22:14.07Blue89I have an idea
22:14.16Blue89but it will only work if I have enough ram
22:14.45Blue89is it possible to cp/mv to the next directory up?
22:14.59Kevin`yes
22:15.14Kevin`oh just fix it, it'll be better in the long run =p
22:19.09Blue89Kevin`: alright, but only if you ar esure it will work, I am so paranoid of bricking, this is why I was trying to struggle with the image I have
22:19.31Kevin`the diagnostic menu is not stored in the same flash chip as the rest of it
22:20.04Kevin`you'd have to be pretty intent on breaking it, or stupid, to brick it :)
22:22.11Blue89Kevin`: is your device a c3000?
22:22.27Blue89er, 3200?
22:22.30Kevin`Blue89 c3200, as I believ you said before?
22:22.40Blue89just making sure
22:23.03Blue893200 terrier
22:23.04Kevin`still copying the current flash image from my pda over usb, slow..
22:23.13Blue89.........
22:24.02Blue89Kevin`: thanks a lot for your help, I couldn't have come this far without you :-)
22:26.02Kevin`http://kwzs.be/zaurus/current/
22:26.56Blue89I just put that on the SD card and try the flash again, right?
22:27.04Kevin`no,
22:27.25Kevin`put that on a cf or sd (I think..) card, boot with d+m, and do a nand restore
22:28.19Kevin`ya, seems it works from both cf and sd
22:28.27Blue89is there any difference between OK+on and d+m+on menus?
22:28.33Kevin`yes.
22:29.00Kevin`heh, i'll get a picture
22:29.02Kevin`pictures are fun
22:30.34Kevin`Blue89 http://kwzs.be/~kevin/files/p1010018.jpg
22:30.36Blue89can I use the same card for both flashes?
22:30.47Kevin`I believe so, if you have space on it
22:31.11Kevin`be sure to uncompress the image btw, I compressed it in gzip to reduce transfer time over the internet
22:31.18Blue89ok
22:32.42Kevin`I wonder how anyone is able to do a "hdd restore" from that, 8gb cf card?
22:32.51Blue89lol
22:34.39Kevin`the image in current/ will boot linux 2.6.20, and load root from the hard drive, fyi

22:34.49Kevin`but all the restore stuff should work properly
22:34.58Kevin`like the / key, =p
22:35.08Blue89LOL
22:41.37Blue89to do this flash, does it have to be a fat filesystem?
22:41.52Kevin`yes.
22:42.11Kevin`recommended fat16
22:43.21Blue89am I sucking up all of your bandwidth over there?
22:43.31Kevin`dunno, I don't normally watch it
22:43.51Kevin`my modem seems to do qos or something fairly well, so other connections aren't affected
22:44.02Blue89I might have to d/l again because I don't have much space over here and I have to format the fs that the file is on now
22:44.33Kevin`well I won't stop you
22:44.37Kevin`it's your time ;)
22:45.12Blue89I thought when you gzipped it you were trying not to transfer large files because of price
22:45.40Blue89I am not worried about how long it takes, I just want it to work when I am finished ^_^;
22:45.41Kevin`well, yes, but it doesn't matter TOO much
22:45.55Kevin`it doesn't cost me $ to send files
22:46.11Blue89ah, on some servers it does
22:46.23Kevin`it's my own server, at my house
22:49.23Blue89I don't have a fat16 format app on this system... haha
22:49.33Blue89everything that could go wrong did
22:49.43Kevin`fat32 could work too
22:49.55Kevin`dunno
22:50.30Kevin`linux or windows are you running?
22:50.45Blue89Pentoo (linux)
22:50.54Kevin`mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/whatever1
22:51.05Kevin`what's pentoo
22:51.23Blue89a penetration testing disk based on gentoo
22:51.45Blue89I don't do any hacking on it though, I just like having a mobile system with portage
22:52.11Blue89hence why I was so quickly sold on using OZ instead of pdaxrom
22:52.28Kevin`in theory you could put gentoo on it
22:52.48Blue89but that would be WAY more complicated than what I am doing already
22:52.50Kevin`compiling is rather slow though, it took me four hours to compile 2.6.19.2 on the zaurus
22:53.59Kevin`or was it .18
22:54.01Kevin`whatever
22:58.52Blue89wow, I didn't know gz was so powerful
22:59.28Blue89it compressed that image to less than a tenth of it's size
22:59.45Kevin`hmm so it did
23:00.34Kevin`keep in mind, it's a full flash backup, there's probably plenty of blank or repeating space
23:00.54Blue89maybe
23:03.27Kevin`btw, to get into the maintance menu, hold d+m DURING reboot or when supllying power, by the time you press the on button, it's generally too late
23:04.23Blue89ok the card is finally ready
23:06.12Blue89Kevin`: does it matter that I did not put in the SD card yet? do I have to do it again?
23:07.05Kevin`Blue89 I think it checks when you actually select the option
23:07.30Blue89ok
23:08.15Kevin`btw the touchscreen works at this menu, not that that's usually useful :)
23:08.30Blue89I noticed, nifty :-)
23:09.14Kevin`page 3, backup/restore
23:10.25Blue89Is there any chance that firefox ate that backup sine it is supposed to do inline gzipping? (just checking, no error mesages yet)
23:10.42Kevin`I did put the md5sum's up too
23:10.58Kevin`I doubt it would eat it though
23:11.20Blue89I am already in the d+m, I think I am just going to flash it
23:14.54Kevin`when you reboot you should see a bunch of timestamps then probably "kernel panic, couldn't load init" or whatever
23:15.04Kevin`lines with timestamps*
23:15.40Blue89it says Restore... OK
23:15.46Kevin`press esc
23:15.49Kevin`and reboot
23:16.27*** join/#openzaurus Varoudis (n=varoudis@87.203.199.220)
23:17.51Kevin`what it do?
23:17.53Blue89you were right, a bunch of timestamps and a no-init panic
23:18.02Kevin`good, worked then
23:18.20Blue89^_^;
23:18.26Kevin`now go about installing your OZ (or whatever) root fs
23:19.06Kevin`if you don't overwrite the current kernel, OZ will complain in pretty red text then boot after a minute, so I recommend you do use OZ's kernel for OZ
23:21.18Blue89I am trying the first flash again, although it will probably complain about not being abl eto write files again
23:21.49Blue89ah HA
23:22.03Blue89I could not see it before when the messages rolled by so fast
23:22.26Blue89I am getting no space left on the device messages X-D
23:23.04Kevin`I recommend you give all space to the root partition except for 128mb for a swap partition
23:25.44Blue89...
23:25.53Blue89my / still doesn't work
23:26.14Kevin`rather odd now, as your using the same thing as me
23:26.30Blue89maybe I am using a different silkscreen?
23:26.52Kevin`personally doubt it
23:27.12Blue89geekstuff4u aslo changed my keyboard cover? I heard they do they but I didn't think they would do it without me asking
23:27.39Blue89take a picture of your keyboard
23:27.55Kevin`the picture I posted before shows the keyboard
23:28.05Kevin`darkm, but you can see the letters and such
23:29.48Kevin`I suppose I could take a brighter picture if there's something specific your looknig at
23:30.01Kevin`?
23:30.06Blue89actually, I got my / to work
23:30.14Kevin`k
23:30.23Blue89there are two shifts, but only one of them works
23:30.44Blue89I am just glad one of them works... ^_^;
23:30.45Kevin`I usually use the left one. both seem to work in OZ though
23:31.06Kevin`well, with the OZ keymap, that is
23:31.13Kevin`running debian etch :)
23:33.33Blue89should I mkswap before or after I flash?
23:33.40Kevin`doesn't matter
23:33.50Kevin`OZ probably won't automatically activate it
23:33.54Blue89then I will get it over with while I have a terminal
23:33.55Kevin`by default
23:37.01Blue89I should not have bothered to mkfs at all, it says "now formatting" in the flash program
23:37.05Blue89lol
23:43.26Blue89I think it worked, but it is running somehting called altboot now
23:43.41Kevin`that's normal
23:43.49Blue89I guess this is what happens if you don't take out the sd card after flashing?
23:43.51Kevin`if you didn't press anything it would have started OZ
23:44.02Kevin`just select 1 if you entered the menu
23:44.11Blue89I did
23:44.26Blue89it will still let me take out my sd card now, right?
23:44.35Kevin`unless it mounted it
23:44.37Blue89(not mounted)
23:44.45Kevin`it will automount cards
23:50.17Blue89ty again
23:50.23Kevin`np
23:51.26Blue89I don't have modification rights for the wiki afaik. can somebody mod the spitz instructions to ask for more space allocated on hda1? 150mb was not enough
23:51.42Blue89this is why I had errors before
23:52.05Blue89I did 5G, not sure what the minimum really was
23:52.23Kevin`what ya using the other 1gb for? :)
23:52.33Blue89swap
23:52.38Kevin`1gb swap?
23:52.49Kevin`if you ever have to use all of that you'll be in pain
23:52.59Blue89I opt for an abundance of swap, sure beats crashing
23:53.22Blue89it's not like extra swap will hurt, besides limiting tye space I have for files
23:53.29Blue89the*
23:53.45Kevin`I like to store iso images and such on the pda :)
23:54.03Blue89lemme guess, epsxe?
23:54.24Blue89lol
23:54.27Kevin`no, I just take it with me, and that's what I have to collect files with
23:54.37Kevin`-bash: xterm: command not found
23:54.39Kevin`Hmm
23:54.44Blue89that can't be it, it would be painfully slow
23:55.09Blue89speaking of games, I need to install some to break in the fresh OS
23:55.15Blue89:-)
23:55.23Kevin`it's a lot faster then sending them over the internet. 10 minutes or so to upload an image isn't bad
23:56.11Kevin`0 upgraded, 42 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
23:56.11Kevin`Need to get 20.8MB/22.5MB of archives.
23:56.11Kevin`After unpacking 63.9MB of additional disk space will be used.
23:56.14Kevin`yay firefox :/
23:57.08Kevin`I just want to see how much ram it uses, haven't gotten the toucscreen working nicely yet
23:59.44Blue89how do i tell my wifi card to go find an open network?
