01:19.45MindChildIs there a sharp compatible rom that runs X in some way or another? Preferably qtopia on one "screen" and X on another with a way to switch from/to both

01:31.04ljplook at an app called xqt
01:42.27MindChildxqt isn't working on the stock sharp rom, or thekompany.rom. Im using the cramfs jumbo pack. Most of the utilities give me "Illegal Instruction" at some point in their process

15:40.21TheFoolanyone around? I flashed my collie with a few other distros and am trying to get OZ running on it again. But I am getting some installation errors.
15:41.50TheFoolI know OZ is no longer being actively developed but there are quite a few people logged on to this channel...
15:42.15XorAthere are errors on collie?
15:42.28XorAI thought the only installation error was flashing led
15:44.06TheFoolit is a bit odd, when trying to install a rootfs.tar.gz via altboot onto my SD card I get the error "tar -xvf "media/cf/rootfs.tar.gz" -C "/media/card" failed!"
15:44.59TheFoolI formatted the card ext2 and tried a direct install to the SD card (was attempting a loopimage before) and got the same error
15:45.41TheFoolNow I know this has to have something to do with me as I have installed OZ a dozen times without error...
15:46.35TheFoolany ideas?
15:46.36XorATheFool: just stick the card in you linux machine and untar that tarball directly onto it
15:47.05TheFoolhah, didn't know that was a valid way of installing it
15:47.21TheFoolok :)
15:47.24XorATheFool: its how Ive always done it :-D
15:48.44TheFoolwell there may be an extra step or two for me as I don't have a card reader for my computer at the moment, but I should be able to accomplish the same thing with my Z
15:49.30TheFoolthank you very much
15:50.47hvontres|poodleTheFool: I think part of the problm may be the tar -xvf should be tar -xzvf for a tar.gz file. also make sure it is not a .bz2, since the busybox tar is too braindead to deal with those
15:51.39hvontres|poodleTheFool: a card reader would be a VERY wise investment tho...:)
15:51.55TheFooloh I have one, it's just out on loan
15:53.23TheFoolI should get it back in a day or two I am just too impatient to wait
15:53.25hvontres|poodleTheFool: you Foool....errr, wait
15:54.31TheFoollol
15:56.09TheFoolhmm I tried extracting with the command "tar -xvzf /mnt/cf/rootfs.tar.gz -C /mnt/card" and after spitting out output for a while it exited with the error "tar: Invalid for magic" any ideas?
15:56.31XorAtime for me to catch train
15:56.51XorA|goneTheFool: sounds like a truncated tar file
15:57.35TheFoolwell that would definitely suck, but I guess it makes sense
16:00.30MindChildyou may want tar zxvpf
16:00.39MindChildp to preserve permissions
16:01.52TheFoolhmm good point, though I still may be dealing witha  truncated file
16:05.03agaffneyTheFool: for some unknown reason, you can't use altboot to create a rootfs on SD
16:05.03agaffneyit just doesn't work right
16:05.25agaffneybut it works fine if you format, create the loopback, and extract the filesystem from a normal linux system using a card reader
16:05.42*** join/#openzaurus YoG (n=chatzill@bzq-88-154-39-175.red.bezeqint.net)
16:06.49TheFoolthat is odd as I have installed rootfs via altboot before
16:07.03agaffneyon collie?
16:07.11TheFoolaw well I guess I am waiting for my card reader as I am still getting "invalid magic" errors
16:07.16TheFoolyea
16:07.20agaffneywith OZ?
16:07.27agaffneyit may just be an OZ problem
16:07.28TheFoolthats how I installed it when I first tried out OZ
16:07.34agaffneyhow long ago was that?
16:07.39agaffneythis seems like a fairly recent problem
16:07.46TheFoola year or so
16:08.04TheFoolsbut I have done it a few times since
16:08.34TheFoolI believe I was installing as a loopimage before though
16:08.51agaffneyboth loop and direct install tend to break for people
16:13.30TheFoollolwas reading the error wrong it says invalid tar magic not for magic...I guess that makes more sense :)

22:14.50CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: ping
22:14.54CoreDump|homepong even
22:38.06hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: hey. I was wondering, would it make sense to have some sort of ncurses based menu for altboot that would work with just up/down arrows + a button?
22:38.38CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: of course
22:38.40hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: I figure that way altboot would be usable on keyboardless devices as well
22:38.55CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: that would be a rather neat trick indeed
22:38.56hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: Ok. I'll start playing with that then :)
22:39.22CoreDump|homeI did try that a loooong time ago and failed =)
22:41.08hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: using only shell scripts?
22:41.23CoreDump|homeyes and "dialog" IIRC
22:42.05hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: ahh... I was going to try to get something coded up in C that can be called in a shell script instead :)
22:42.48CoreDump|homethat would be even better =)
22:48.37hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: ok. time to go off on train for some hacking :)
22:48.49CoreDump|homelater hvontres|poodle
22:49.07hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: Btw, are you on the list for one of the sharp serial cables?
22:49.17CoreDump|homehmm nope
22:49.23CoreDump|homewhat list heh
22:49.33CoreDump|homenot that I need one ;)
22:50.04hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: Ok. We found some for $5 ea at amazon and I am sending 9 over to Laibsch tonight.
22:50.16CoreDump|homeah neat
22:50.21hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: hrw posted on the Angstrom list.
22:50.33CoreDump|homeI kinda missed that
22:50.51CoreDump|homeThank you for asking, but other folks can make more use of it than I =)
22:51.08hvontres|poodleCoreDump|home: ok, time to go. :)

23:55.40summatusmentisCoreDump|home: any chance you want to help me trouble shoot?
23:56.07summatusmentisI flashed my Z w/ a very recent angstrom image, and it started flashing, and I left it to go eat
23:56.19summatusmentisI came back, and the screen was dark, and it won't boot
23:56.39CoreDump|homewhich Z?
23:56.40summatusmentisI can get back to the flashing process, but I can't get it to boot via console(D and B to get to NAND)
23:56.41summatusmentis3200
23:57.24CoreDump|homewhy would you flash a C3200 anyway? It's rootfs is HDD based?
23:58.15CoreDump|homereformat your CF card which you use for flashing, verify md5sums of kernel and rootfs image and try again
23:59.15summatusmentisCoreDump|home: I'm following the instructions on the Angstrom site
23:59.37CoreDump|homehmm I never read those =)
