18:25.47xmooglehiya, having a couple problems
18:27.01xmooglefirst, managed to sorta set up WPA wifi but udhcp, while quite happily obtaining an address, doesn't seem to make dns resolving work, second the screen is randomly turning off and not coming back on (am on an sl-c3200)
18:27.41xmooglebutton presses are not bringing the screen back
18:39.36*** join/#openzaurus hvontres|poodle (n=hvontres@63.92.216.147)
18:44.16xmooglealso is there any way to take an installed openzaurus system, remove most of the pda stuff and just install plain debian? ie, the ability to use normal desktop style GUIs, use apt-get and arm .debs, etc?
18:45.03hrwno
18:47.46kollawell, you can ofcourse use openzaurus to bootstrap debian from some other filesystem
18:48.00kollaI do that, only with gentoo and not debian
18:48.05hrwthen it will not be OZ
18:48.22kollathe flash will be :)
18:54.28xmooglehm, yes, but...there's the challenge of setting up X n stuff, would be nice to be able to keep the settings openzaurus uses...what settings/driver *does* openzaurus use for X anyway?
18:55.14xmoogleum, yeah, anyway of turning my bloody screen back on when it randomly turns off btw? other than pressing the reset switch inside the battery compartment that is...
19:05.49xmooglesee really i want to use my zaurus as a miniature laptop, not a pda, it has the specs for it...i dislike pda-ised GUIs, i'd love to just be able to run a normal OS on it...OpenBSD seemed like the perfect solution, 'cept they build virtually no binary packages for the system, NetBSD has no news (at least that i can find) on how their port is going, and running a debian chroot is slow and complex, i'd love to just have plain debian on th
19:05.49xmooglee system, with working X and touchscreen, i got as far as getting it to boot into a debian console but no further, could never get X working, let alone configure the touchscreen...
19:06.19xmoogleis there any documentation on how people actually built operating systems for the zaurus? like openzaurus, pdaxrom, openbsd, etc were done...?

19:50.49dcordeshey all
19:51.24dcordesare there codecs for propietary video formats for openzaurus?
20:01.18bronsondcordes: no...  Microsoft's ARM software is very different from its 386 stuff.  It isn't like desktops where you can just invoke w32codecs and go.

22:42.14zcordesare there any other web browser than the one which is included?
22:43.31Blue89yes
22:43.57Blue89dillo is one, firefox is another. I use GPE, I am not sure what option Opie users have
22:44.01zcordesone with flash and java support would be great
22:44.25NAbyssYou won't get flash, because that requires a binary blob (non-ARM)
22:44.27zcordesblue i tried gpe but i couldnt move windows there
22:44.37NAbyssAnd java's much the same unless you compile it from source.. messy.
22:44.53zcordesnab are there no gpl ports of flash?
22:45.13Blue89there is one in the works but I don't think it is read yet IIRC
22:45.35zcordessounds good
22:45.42NAbysszcordes: Buggered if I know.. haven't touched flash in years. I consider the abscence a feature, not a bug.
22:45.52Blue89zcordes, I use Enlightenment instead of GPE's normal environment. I can move windows, although I am missing the menu text
22:46.01zcordeswhat about gpe... is it true that there are no real windows in it?
22:46.25NAbyssThere's windows.. IIRC it's just non-dialogs that are forced to fullscreen
22:47.00zcordesyea thats why i-have opie now
22:47.12Blue89zcordes, it has windows, they are just as big as the screen
22:47.31zcordeswhy can opie handle that but not gpe?
22:47.36Blue89GPE is the Kdrive X server with a mini DE
22:47.51Blue89it uses matchbox to force windows to be full screened
22:47.56zcordesactually icome from a gnome enviornment so id like to use gpe
22:48.09Blue89it CAN handle smaller windows, it just DOESN'T

22:48.45Blue89zcordes, I never tried fluxbox, but I bet it would solve your problem there
22:48.53zcordeshow can i enable unmaximizinfd and scaling of windows then?
22:49.09zcordesthat sounds good
22:49.27zcordesfluxbox is nice and friendly yo your resources

22:50.28zcordesi heard that some people even use gnome
22:50.34Blue89THAT, I don't know how to do, but the rest should be pretty straitforward.
22:50.55NAbyssGnome on a Z would be nasty.. you've only gor 64mb of RAM
22:51.01Blue89I have heard of KDE being used, but not gnome
22:51.23zcordesnevermind then
22:51.39zcordesgpee with _real_ windows and im fine
22:51.48Blue89if you want eye candy and lits of buttons go with Enlightenment, otherwise fluxbox should be perfect
22:51.54Blue89lots*
22:53.25zcordeshow to i install it and ssetup the startup?
22:53.52zcordessorry for my horrible typing. i'm not so quick with th z yet
22:53.55Blue89I think "ipkg install fluxbox-gpe" will do it
22:54.16zcordesbut i have only opie here

22:57.58zcordesBlue89: how do i select which desktop tp use
22:57.58Blue89you should install a gpe image first I think
22:58.21zcordesoh no
22:58.54Blue89unless you want to install X by hand, which I'm sure can also be done
22:58.56zcordesno other way? i  installed all kernel modules etc
22:59.28Blue89I think you just install kdrive-xfbdev
22:59.30*** join/#openzaurus Sonic|Laptop (n=Garrett@unaffiliated/sonicvanajr)
22:59.36Blue89and a window manager
22:59.47Blue89it should grab all the deps for you automagically
23:00.19zcordesand what about the start?
23:00.29Blue89I'm not sure
23:00.53zcordesis there something like gdm or kdm which let's me chose what to take?
23:01.04Blue89they use a similar startup system to the one Gentoo has, but they don't have the rc-update tool
23:01.08zcordesthink i should better decide for one
23:01.21NAbysszcordes: There's no kdm/gdm, as opie doesn't use X
23:01.28Blue89you can have both, you just need to figure out how to switch
23:01.45zcordesi want x but opie looks so good and it has nice apps
23:01.51Blue89NAbyss, he needs to know how to change boot services
23:01.54zcordeshard decision for me
23:02.40Blue89zcordes, are you on wifi?
23:03.11zcordesyes
23:03.22zcordesprism2 cf card
23:03.46Blue89my wifi has not worked correctly since I flashed, even after I fixed the host_ap conf file
23:04.04Blue89I'm glad to hear you are having better luck
23:04.21zcordesit worked outta the box
23:04.45zcordesthen i installed a patched driver ready for injectio
23:04.51Blue89so did mine IIRC but it died after the first update and I never completely fixed it

23:46.17dcordesI'm about to install the GPE image again...
23:54.45dcordesBlue89, you still around?

23:58.23dcordesBlue89, nvm
23:58.34dcordesI'm flashing back to gpe right now
23:58.53Blue89I am on my gentoo box and I am getting random x server crashes, prolly due to the binary radeon driver I was trying
23:58.58dcordesI was just wondering... is there a different way to get that window resizing wiht gpe?
23:59.13Blue89so I have been in the terminals only today
23:59.16dcordesBlue89, eek fglrx?
23:59.22Blue89yes
23:59.25dcordesomg
23:59.30dcordesonly problems with that
23:59.36Blue89I am sick of it crashing, I think I am going to uninstall it
23:59.47dcordestry the gpl radeon driver
