17:42.48TheFoolIs there anyway to access the altboot-faq? It seems the openzaurus website has quite a few missing pages, that being one of them.
17:42.59_xEBIx_I either know what bitbake is by the way anyone here knowning about a good Howto accurding root on SD and the rootfs Tarballs
17:44.25TheFoolyea...the altboot-faq, which is missing, had a good how-to in it
17:44.30_xEBIx_no its down someway
17:44.41_xEBIx_shit
17:45.25_xEBIx_do you know a mirror for the openzaurus page?
17:45.52TheFoolno :(
17:46.07_xEBIx_so will have to wait
17:46.23TheFoolyea :(
17:46.57TheFoolwhat have you done so far? I think I remember a good portion of it.
17:48.02_xEBIx_i' ve got copied it on my SD card and copied a real zImage into boot    but geting much of I/O errors accruding /dev/  and freeze than
17:49.51_xEBIx_when i copy my existing in / to the SD i don't get those I/Os but others and at the moment i get multple altboots
17:50.15TheFoolwell you should end up with two altboots
17:50.30_xEBIx_yes there are tw
17:50.39TheFoolone from flashing a bootstrap and the second from your system in the SD card
17:51.42_xEBIx_at the moment ive got two running sys one in ram and one in SD and that is a good idea
17:51.56_xEBIx_btw has the z a "bootsector"
17:52.34TheFoolmy advice (don't take this as expert advice) would be to wipe the SD card and start from scratch letting altboot install the loopback image
17:52.57_xEBIx_ill need the bootsrap sys for startup?
17:53.06TheFool_xEBIx_: nope it only has like 16mb of system space, so it's all a "bootsector"
17:53.16_xEBIx_a
17:53.24TheFool_xEBIx_: yea
17:53.46_xEBIx_so on that HAS TO be a kernel?
17:55.15TheFool_xEBIx_: ??
17:55.16_xEBIx_iam thinkning about using all ram for cache and things
17:57.53_xEBIx_so using the 64-0 zImage
17:58.54TheFoolyea
17:59.08_xEBIx_yea what
18:05.18TheFoolyea use the 64-0 image
18:09.06_xEBIx_aha thx
18:09.43_xEBIx_and wwhat sall i do when downloaded the rootf tarball i mean was that right what i did?
18:11.57TheFoolif you flashed with the 64-0 already, you download the rootfs tarball
18:12.39TheFoolrename it xxx(withxbeinganynumber)-rootfs.tar.gz and stick it in a boot images folder on your SD card
18:12.47TheFoolthen let altboot try to install it
18:13.00_xEBIx_ahh there one mistake
18:13.22_xEBIx_y only copied it to the SD and wanted to boot it
18:25.09_xEBIx_and thats written in the altbot faq?

18:25.13mimecarhi
18:27.17TheFoolI amy be wrong that you were just supposed to rename and copy it to the root of the card, like I said before I am trying to go from memory, but yea all nicely outlined in the FAQ
18:27.26TheFoolmimecar: hello
18:27.46mimecarhi TheFool
18:29.20_xEBIx_no i dont think you are wrong but I do think that you missunerstood my i meant that i Extracted and copied it to my SD without letting altboot install it

18:30.58TheFoolaltboot under advanced will set up a loopback image for you with the rootfs.tar.gz file
18:37.01TheFoolany idea when the 3,5,5 release is coming out? I can't wait for a new release for mycollie, especially one that will allow me to use larger SD cards
18:37.26mimecarI know they're on test phase
18:37.39TheFoolso next few months?
18:37.40mimecarbut I don't know a final date to the release
18:37.43mimecarno idea
18:37.53mimecaryou can compile the kernel with the new driver
18:37.53_xEBIx_isnt 3.5.4 alreday supporting SD cards >1GB with the haked driver?
18:37.59mimecarand run it today
18:38.46TasDevilyes, 3.5.3, too
18:38.50TheFoolhehe with half of the openzaurus site down I am having a hard enough time reinstalling the basic system
18:39.51mimecarwhy don't you use the cached version of google ?
18:40.01TasDevilTheFool: I'm using a 2 GB SD since yesterday with my collie, with 3.5.3
18:40.23TheFooloh btw do you have a link to the bounty page I have heard about for getting SD working under 2.6 on the collie?
18:40.39TheFoolTasDevil: thats cool :)
18:40.50TasDevil2.6? no, I'm running 2.4.18
18:41.00mimecarthere is not driver for 2.6 kernel

18:41.49TheFoolyean I know I heard about some page where we offer donations to whomever creates one
18:42.00TasDevilyes, the wiki
18:42.20TasDevilbut I xcouldn't wait ;-)
18:42.23TasDevil-x
18:42.43TasDevilI needed more space for build-essential
18:42.47mimecarone thing is a future developer
18:43.05mimecarbut actually the're not real working drivers (that I know of course)
18:43.27TasDevilnot yet
18:44.02TheFooland most likely not soon...but eventuially
18:44.20TasDevilwell, 2.4.18 works fine for me
18:44.35TasDevilno need to upgrade
18:44.46mimecarnext version of OZ will be the last for collie
18:44.58TasDevilah, hm
18:44.59mimecarwithout a driver for the sd with the 2.6 kernel
18:45.20TasDevilI'll stay on the current OZ then. It works.
18:46.08TasDeviland I run a full chrooted Debian on the SD card, so I don't use OZ that much

18:46.15TheFoolyea :( poor collie, it's been a faithful little machine
18:46.26TasDevilit's still!
18:46.34mimecarit's limited
18:46.43mimecarnext models are better
18:47.08TheFoolyea, but if you get it working on the collie it will fly on the other models :)
18:47.19TasDevilbah, better :-) better is always a second, additional machine ;-)
18:47.33mimecarxDD
18:49.33YoGhi, I've followed the "opie and gpe" howto on oenzaurus.org... but when i'm doing chvt 3 i seen nothing :-( can someone please help me debug this thing
18:49.41TheFoolhey TasDevil do you have gcc working properly on your collie?
18:50.07TasDevilTheFool: yes, but on a standard Debian install
18:50.28TheFoolTasDevil: meaning no gui?
18:51.01TasDevilno, with X and IceWM :-) look here: http://pocketworkstation.org
18:51.22mimecarYoG: I use both desktop indepenent
18:51.32mimecarwitouht the terminal change
18:51.48YoGmimecar: how?
18:52.52TheFoolTasDevil: how well does it run, is it laggy? theres got to be some problem with it...that looks awesome
18:53.17TasDevilTheFool: It runs like with a 206 MHz CPU ;-)
18:53.40TasDevil206 MHz without FPU
18:54.00TasDevilso yes, it's slow, but *all* the software runs
18:54.18TheFoolTasDevil: so sluggish as hell... thats why I liked OZ....
18:54.42TasDevilyes, of course it's slower than OZ and stripped down apps
18:54.50TheFoolTasDevil: so what exactly do you use it for?
18:55.16TasDevilfor nothing useful... ;-) The Zaurus is just for playing and fun :-)
18:55.31*** part/#openzaurus mimecar (n=Miguel@172.Red-83-34-69.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net)
18:55.32TasDeviland maybe learning about Linux
18:55.36TheFoolI don't know, I can imagine dillo being faster than konqueror-embedded
18:56.10TasDevillinks is faster :p
18:56.50TheFoolthat is really freaking cool though, I looked into debian-arm a while back and didn't find anything this developed, must have missed it
18:57.19TasDeviland it's easy to install :-) all additionally, you loose nothing
18:57.38TheFoolwell I think IO am going to have to pick up another 2gb sd to try this out
18:58.00TasDeviland it's even still there after a complete reinstall of the main OS
18:58.06TheFoolone more thing, hows it's support for wireless cards?
18:58.17TheFoolI know my connect plus is a bear to get working on OZ
18:58.52TasDevilof the collie? I use a prism2 card afaik, and I've a second one, both work fine
18:59.13TheFoolmine is a prism3 thats why I'm worried
19:00.05TasDevilI've a Pretec CompactWLAN (with prism2.x) and a Socket Low Power WLAN Card
19:00.14TasDevilboth work
19:00.38TasDevilboth without WPA though, maybe one day I upgrade the prism2 firmware
19:00.52TasDevilbut had no time so far
19:01.09TheFoolah man I need a new cf card for this too :(
19:01.15YoGmimecar: how did you do that?
19:01.31TasDeviljust try the one you have
19:01.44TheFool16mb...that needs a 256mb...
19:01.54TasDevilas a minimum, yes
19:02.01TheFool16mb cost me 50c 256 cost like $20
19:02.09TasDeviland 2 GB $40
19:02.18TheFoolha I got mine for $10
19:02.29TasDevil:-)
19:02.38_xEBIx_all american people here?
19:02.42TasDevilno
19:02.46TheFoolnope

19:02.52_xEBIx_so were are you from
19:03.03TasDevil<-- Europe, Earth
19:03.03_xEBIx_ohh me too

19:03.14TheFooloriginally russia
19:03.32_xEBIx_ahh the good old
19:09.07YoGdid anyone have any success with running gpe and opie togther
19:09.13TasDevilTheFool: at home I use an USB cable for networking
19:09.40TasDevilYoG: I tried that once, and it worked, but that was a year or so ago
19:10.33TasDevilit was at the time when there were nearly no useful GPE apps
19:10.55YoGTasDevil: can  you help me with it?
19:11.17TasDevilYoG: I just followed the howto on the oz webpage
19:11.42TasDevilI think it's still the same howto there
19:11.47YoGTasDevil: Me too.
19:12.43TasDevilmaybe you left a step out or something like that?
19:13.46YoGTasDevil: This is fairly simple, 1) fix ipkg.conf 2) ipkg install
19:14.15TasDevilyes
19:15.03TasDevildid you do this: "Change Opie to start on Virtual Terminal 3. Edit your /etc/init.d/opie script. Change all instances of ?-terminal 2? to ?-terminal 3?. I found two of these."
19:16.29TasDeviland did that work?
19:16.41TasDevilafter restarting Opie?
19:17.14YoGTasDevil: I did change it in the opie script... restarted the z... but it's not working... :-(
19:17.41TasDevilthen maybe you missed one of the instances
19:17.53*** join/#openzaurus Varoudis_ (n=varoudis@athedsl-109870.otenet.gr)
19:18.16TasDevilI remember that it worked for me
19:18.20YoGTasDevil: doing chvt 2 brings the "Loading bootsplash/Use Alt-LeftArrwo"... screen
19:18.41TasDevilhm
19:19.14TasDevilwell, I'd start from the beginning again and check every tiny step
19:19.16YoGTasDevil: do you know how can i see if gpe starts ok? is there any log somewhere?
19:20.47TasDevilin the process list? try ps ax | grep gpe
19:20.48TasDevilor something like that
19:20.59YoGTasDevil: nothing in the process list...
19:21.28TasDevilhm, maybe it has another name than gpe in the list, but it's probably not started then
19:23.22YoGTasDevil: runing gpe-dm just returns to command line - nothing happens...
19:23.57TasDevilhm. I'd say something is missing then
19:24.23TasDevilas I said: without any deeper knowledge I'd start again and check every step twice
19:24.25YoGTasDevil: runing /etc/init.d/gpe-dm start - just echos "Starting GPE display manager: gpe-dm" - but a again nothing happens... :-(
19:25.10YoGTasDevil: Yes, but i don't have a clue where to start searching...
19:25.25TasDevilmaybe it's running chvt2 together with Opie, so you can't see it. Opie has to run on chvt3 *before* you install GPE
19:25.42TasDevilwhere? at the beginning of the howto
19:26.49YoGTasDevil: *before*? maybe that's the problem...
19:26.56TasDevilyes, before
19:27.12TasDevilat least that is what the howto says
19:27.27TasDeviland that worked for me
19:27.31YoGTasDevil: oops...
19:27.45TasDeviljust read it again :-)
19:28.58TasDevilI see: Flash, Move, Change, Restart, set up, Update, and then install the GPE packages and reboot
19:31.57TasDevilthere was an extra howto for moving the root file system to the SD IIRC, with a script to do that automagically
19:32.13TasDevildon't where it's now
19:32.23TasDevilprobably also in the wiki somewhere
19:32.56YoGTasDevil: I'm using the "-d" switch and ipkg-link method...
19:33.14TasDevilah, hm
19:33.28TasDevilprobably fine :-) I don't knwo much about that
19:33.32TasDevilknow*
19:34.23TasDeviland I don't know much about Linux. I just use it on the Zaurus, because that's the best OS there
19:34.48TasDevilon all other machines I use *BSD
19:45.35TheFoolI am getting an "iosetup: ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: No such device or address" error when trying to get altboot to install the system to a loopback image on my SD card. When I reboot after that and try to start from the SD it throws tons of file not found errors. Any clue what the problem is?
