21:52.14JustinPsummatusmentis: sorry, not yet :-/
21:54.45summatusmentisJustinP: no worries, I've thought about setting up OE, to get an updated version, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna flash to Angstrom yet or not
21:56.38JustinPwell, Angstrom is definately better in many ways...wireless hasn't worked yet for me, though
21:56.59JustinPI'm going to bring up my Z now and see if I can get abiword working
21:58.44summatusmentiswireless hasn't worked? I was under the impression Angstrom was very similar to OZ at this point...
22:02.07JustinPsimilar, yes
22:02.15JustinPbut wireless with my abicom has refused to work
22:02.21JustinPambicom
22:03.34summatusmentisinteresting, so would you say Angstrom is as usable as 3.5.4.1 GPE, assuming you had wireless?

22:19.34summatusmentisinteresting, I wasn't affected at all...
22:20.28JustinPangstrom is pretty usable, yes, I'd be using it if my wireless worked but I haven't had time to figure out why it's not working
22:20.30summatusmentisJustinP: ok, thanks
22:27.01JustinPsummatusmentis: stupid question. Are you trying to run abiword in GPE or Opie?
22:28.34JustinPsummatusmentis: it's working fine for me in GPE in an image from the newest .oz354 branch.
22:28.49summatusmentisJustinP: GPE, I'm not dumb :-P
22:29.12summatusmentisI'm using the one from 3.5.4.1, I'm getting the impression that not much has been updated in the feeds after bugs were fixed
22:29.16JustinPsummatusmentis: like I said, dumb question.
22:29.27summatusmentisheh
22:29.30JustinPsummatusmentis: quite likely.

22:31.20summatusmentisJustinP: so I should either build it, or flash to angstrom and use the one there?

22:32.15summatusmentisunless there aren't enough devs
22:32.28summatusmentiswhich, seemingly at this point, there aren't
22:37.12hvontres|poodlesummatusmentis: your could always join up as well :)

22:40.26hvontres|poodlesummatusmentis: well, building test images and hunting for bugs can also help...
22:40.27summatusmentisand, well, the folks over at #oe don't seem all that interested in helping a newbie
22:40.49JustinPdepends on who you catch
22:40.59JustinPI help when I can
22:41.04summatusmentishvontres|poodle: is there any intro doc to any of that?
22:41.14CoreDump|homesummatusmentis: placing koen and kergoth on ignore helps =)

22:43.37summatusmentishvontres|poodle: they other issue, or maybe it's just my own issue, is it seems to me as though there should be collaboration or something, a timeline of things that need to be done, and when

22:46.50JustinPanyway, no need to think about the bad times....
22:46.52erdingerhi. i know this is not a software specific question but i don't know where to ask else.. i'm waiting for my zaurus to arrive from usa. of course it has a us power supply which does not fit into german plugs. can i use this with an adaptor?
22:47.08CoreDump|homeerdinger: yes
22:47.35CoreDump|homeerdinger: all Z's ship w/ the same charger and they work w/ 110V as well as w/ 230V
22:47.56CoreDump|homeyou just need a different cable, that's all
22:48.11erdingerCoreDump|home, good to know. so i hit the mall and just get a us to german adapter my zaurus won't blow up?
22:48.16erdingerok

22:50.02hvontres|poodlesummatusmentis: At this point, 3.5.5 is still pretty raw. I have managed to build some console only imageas for my 5600 and ran into some problems. My advice would be to get OE setup and try to build a bootstrap image for your Zaurus and see if it boots.
22:50.22hvontres|poodlesummatusmentis: which model do you have?

22:56.19hvontres|poodlesummatusmentis: are you going to be on later? I need to go home now.
22:57.11summatusmentishvontres|poodle: yeah, probably sporadically, but yeah, I'll be here
22:58.16summatusmentisany prism based CF card will do WPA right?
23:16.37erdingerCoreDump|home, you think i can get such a cable in a normal electronic shop?

23:21.39Domberim not as familiar with libs as i should be ^^
23:21.46summatusmentisCoreDump|home: WPA works on any prism based CF card right? even if it's certs based?
23:21.49erdingerCoreDump|home, ah i see.. it's the normal computer cable that also fits in the common desktop pc power supplies?
23:22.07CoreDump|homesummatusmentis: I have never used WPA at home sorry
23:22.34CoreDump|homeerdinger: No but another very common cable. Dunno if it has a special name
23:22.44Domberso i'm a little bit stumped now ... and search for help
23:22.48CoreDump|homefound on VCRs, TVs and such
23:23.09CoreDump|homeDomber: you are running GPE right?
23:23.11summatusmentisCoreDump|home: ok, thanks. The college I'm going to requires WPA usage, and I'm planning on getting a new CF card, as mine is orinoco based
23:23.46CoreDump|homesummatusmentis: you might wanna talk w/ hrw|gone about WPA. I believe he is using WPA at home or work with his Z
23:24.02JustinPI've used WPA with an Ambicom WL1100C-CF
23:24.09JustinPbut not all of the options
23:24.15DomberCoreDump|home: no im running OPIE
23:24.30erdingerCoreDump|home, the one which jacks look like an eight?
23:24.34erdingera bit at least :)
23:24.42CoreDump|homehmmm I didn't even know there was an Opie port of xmms :\
23:24.53CoreDump|homeerdinger: that's the one =)
23:25.04summatusmentisJustinP: what do you mean not all the options?
23:25.39DomberCoreDump|home: there is, otherwise the hentges ROM couldn't use it in its ROM also
23:26.07JustinPsummatusmentis: I mean that there are a hell of a lot of ways to use WPA and I've only used 1 or 2
23:26.15JustinPsummatusmentis: and I don't use it at home, so...
23:26.24summatusmentisJustinP: oh, ok
23:26.26erdingercan i use applications compiled for open zaurus on angstrom?
23:26.31summatusmentisI'll talk to hrw|gone sometime
23:26.38summatusmentiserdinger: apparently not
23:26.45JustinPerdinger: no
23:26.46DomberCoreDump|home: or which music application would you prefer for opie?
23:26.56erdingeri'm not sure which distro to use
23:27.07CoreDump|homeDomber: I never used my Z for that sorry
23:27.29erdingera stupid question to ask in the openzaurus channel :)
23:27.31erdingeri admit
23:27.35summatusmentiserdinger: sounds like what I'm facing, I've got GPE/OZ, but I'm thinking about going to Angstrom
23:27.53erdingerdon't wanna start no distro war here
23:27.58erdinger:x
23:28.02DomberCoreDump|home: ahh ok, sorry ;-) for what exactly do you use it normally?
23:28.12CoreDump|homeDomber: hacking =)
23:29.05summatusmentiserdinger: I wouldn't worry about a distro war, just don't bring up cacko or pdaXrom *cough*
