12:47.07mallumhey TomW
12:47.37TomWgood morning, just getting caught up on the Helen comix.
12:48.14TomWI don't read them for a few months, then I can enjoy them later enmass
12:50.22sorphinTomW: O'scope finally shipped yesterday apparently
12:50.40TomW?
12:50.45TomWyou bought one?
12:51.32TomWwhat was it, a 2465?
12:52.53sorphinyeah
12:53.03sorphinbought it end of last week :P
12:53.17sorphina tek one :P
12:54.49TomWoh, right, I have had so much going on that I forgot.
12:55.16TomWso, now that you have a microscope and a scope, what are you going to build with them?
12:55.41sorphinTomW: something to take over the world? :P
12:55.43TomWsomething easy, like an ARM7TDMI board?
12:56.11sorphinheh
12:56.26sorphinand where am i gonna get the sample/$ to fab a board? :P
12:56.50TomWsamples hell, you can purchase the chips from digikey.
12:57.31TomWwhat is it, an AT91M42800 for 20 some dollars?
12:57.41sorphinheh
12:57.57TomWno MMU, so you would have to stick uClinux on it...
12:58.17sorphinnod
12:59.20sorphinTomW: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=25415&item=2525632196
12:59.38TomW$18.47 for one piece, 144 lead TQFP package.
13:00.33TomWwhat does a new probe sell for?
13:01.27sorphin100
13:01.41TomWMicrosoft has stepped up work on Longhorn, the next version of Windows. A new test version, leaked onto the Web last week, is more advanced than analysts had expected.
13:01.56sorphinthat's nice :P
13:02.03sorphinthought it was fugly
13:02.03TomWWonder what marketing guy in Redmond leaked it?
13:02.38TomWhmm, must be another one of those "best windoze ever" products?
13:03.04TomWyou use that vmware 4 yet?
13:03.19sorphinno, chouimat installed it
13:03.59TomWk, I have version keys since 1.0
13:04.28TomWreally cool program
13:04.34sorphinheh
13:05.35TomWI still have to do windoze work, but it is also nice to load a copy of debian or suse with to tinker with another linux version.  Without commiting a whole computer to it.
13:06.32TomWyeah, but I upgraded as it has been about two years since my last upgrade and the cost was not something that would break my wallet.
13:06.52sorphin;nods
13:06.59TomWit has enabled me to make some money using it.
13:07.23sorphinor should i say
13:07.25sorphinvery very rarely
13:08.01TomWwell, some of it I do.  I purchased the Eagle CAD package to do PCBs here.  I needed a package that would handle metric measurements and the old Tango package (hacked) didn't do metric.
13:08.15sorphinnod
13:08.38TomWthe eagle was only $400 per module (schematic, layout, autorouter), I could have done away with the autorouter.
13:09.51TomWI looked at some of the free stuff that was out there to do PCBs but they lacked a lot of features that I am used to.  Like Copper Pouring

13:14.50sorphinTomW: he didn't learn his lesson the 1st time
13:15.12sorphinand apparently seeing prpplague's life didn't teach him either
13:15.13TomW<sigh> women are nice to have around tho
13:15.26sorphinTomW: so you live with them :P
13:15.47TomWevery man figures the other guy was just a jerk and it won't be the same for him.
13:15.53sorphinheh

14:14.27TomWyeah, just cannot lurk anymore without getting in trouble.
14:14.45sorphinindeed
14:15.02sorphinTomW: i'll prolly max on that probe at 50 or 75
14:15.07sorphinsince i can get a new new one for 100
14:15.40TomWwell, not much can happen to a probe, but you can get an intermittant one.
14:15.49sorphini wouldn't say not much :P
14:16.03TomWindeed
14:16.17sorphinthat's enough for me not to buy it ;)
14:16.28TomWheh, yeah, just tack on some wire and it will be fine, right?
14:16.42sorphinsuuuuuuuuuuuure
14:17.19sorphinTomW: so if my math still works, a 10x w/ 300mhz BW (that's assuming the 300mhz is w/o being 10x'd?)

14:39.29sorphinya
14:39.38CosmicPenguinI need to find a svideo -> component cable
14:39.51sorphinsvid to component.. hmm
14:41.38CosmicPenguinI found this:  http://www.cablesamerica.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=6803&sku=27990
14:41.44CosmicPenguinBut I'm not 100% sure thats what I want
14:42.07signal11CosmicPenguin: $$$
14:42.14signal11i think that is an expensive conversion
14:42.40sorphinsignal11: umm
14:43.01signal11well i have seen de-interlacers for $300; perhaps there are simple signal converters for a lot less
14:43.11sorphinCosmicPenguin: no. that's not what you want
14:43.16CosmicPenguinsorphin: why not?
14:43.32CosmicPenguinOh, damn - I didn't want component - sorry
14:43.41CosmicPenguinI wanted straight RCA
14:43.44sorphinah
14:43.47signal11aka composite
14:43.47sorphinin that case
14:43.50sorphinthat's cheap
14:43.53sorphinyou can MAKE one
14:43.54sorphin:P
14:44.07CosmicPenguinsorphin: well, a normal person could make one
14:44.09signal11heh they should have made those terms a little different
14:44.10sorphinCosmicPenguin: it's reallly easy to make one
14:44.23sorphinCosmicPenguin: one sec
14:46.32sorphinCosmicPenguin: all you do is tie each pair of pins together and add a cap, i had a page bookmarked showing it
14:46.35mallumkergoth`bbl: ping
14:51.32CosmicPenguinsorphin: that would be cool - I can probably scrounge up a few caps and a cable
14:51.37CosmicPenguinsorphin: I could even get those at Rat Shack

15:22.36MornWorksorphin: I found out what that god awful sound was from yesterday
15:22.43MornWorksorphin: and it had nothing to do with the OS
15:22.46sorphinMorn: heh
15:22.49mallumTimRiker: it libc 2.3.1 based, so you can bodge install familiar gtk/gpe packages until someone getting round to adding that to OZ
15:22.49sorphinwhat was it then?
15:22.56MornWorksorphin: it was a drive failed in the array
15:23.05sorphinMorn: sounds about right
15:23.10MornWorkand the card was letting the whole neighborhood know
15:23.22sorphinMorn: least now you know ;)
15:23.28mallumTimRiker: btw, could you ask ibot kindly to hang out in #matchbox ?
15:23.29MornWorkluckily it is a redundant array, so easy enough to fix
15:23.48sorphinnod
15:24.20MornWorkmallum: 'bodge'?
15:24.39sorphinmake
15:24.58sorphinhack

15:25.01MornWorknever heard that word before
15:25.04mallumMornWork: yeah cludge
15:25.05sorphinMorn: he's british
15:25.41MornWorkit's ok, people make fun of some of my expressions
15:25.58sorphinMorn: like ?
15:26.12MornWorksorphin: "It's making down."
15:26.35sorphinwhich means
15:26.40MornWorkit's raining
15:27.01MornWorkit's a PA Dutch expression
15:27.04MornWorkwhere I grew up
15:27.05mallumanyone know much about exim ? like how I add an alias ? I know fuck all about mailservers and lack the interest to learn :\
15:27.20MornWorkmallum: if it was sendmail I could help
15:30.13mallumMornWork: doh, never mind :/
15:30.55sorphinmallum: i know exim :P
15:31.53mallumsorphin: aha :-)
15:32.26mallumsorphin: where do I stick an alais so a script get run when a mail is sent to a particular address ?
15:32.43sorphinmallum: btw, make sure you have relaying set proper so you're not an open relay like i was for ages :P
15:32.52sorphinhold
15:33.09mallumsorphin: yeah I think I set it only to relay for localhost
15:34.06sorphinmallum: you have a couple choices
15:34.26sorphindo it traditional (if there's only one dmain, etc)
15:34.29sorphinin /etc/aliases
15:34.45sorphinand make sure your exim.conf file
15:34.50sorphinhas a section like:
15:34.51sorphinsystem_aliases:
15:34.51sorphin<PROTECTED>
15:34.51sorphin<PROTECTED>
15:34.51sorphin<PROTECTED>
15:34.51sorphin<PROTECTED>
15:34.53sorphin<PROTECTED>
15:34.55sorphin<PROTECTED>
15:35.46sorphinwhat i do is a bit more indepth
15:35.53sorphincuz of the multi domains
15:36.06mallumthe above should do it - thanks :-)
15:36.13sorphinno worries
15:37.20MornWorkit's not any more difficult than 1 domain really
15:37.29sorphinMorn: how can you still RUN CertMail? :P
15:37.52MornWorksorphin: I've been running it for too many years
15:37.52sorphinman exim is a breeze to deal w/
15:37.58signal11MornWork: are the accounts on all those domains the same?  e.g. is webmaster@foo.com different than webmaster@bar.com?
15:38.11signal11or do you just have a bunch of Cw's
15:38.16MornWorksignal11: depends on how you want to do it
15:38.26MornWorkwith virtusers they can be different
15:38.38signal11how painful is virtusers
15:38.49MornWorksignal11: not very
15:39.15MornWorkthe painful thing for some people is the order that sendmail attempts to determine what to do with a message
15:39.23MornWorkie which comes first virtusers or aliases?
15:39.44MornWorkand what is the difference between an alias and a virtuser?
15:40.04MornWorknot difficult, but you have to know these things or odd things will happen
15:40.42sorphinMornWork: now you see why i stick w/ exim (well, that and the lack of 50000000 cert advisories ;) )
15:41.35MornWorksorphin: I invested a HUGE amount of time into sendmail a long time ago, and as of yet haven't been bitten by any of the cert advisories, so I stick with it
15:41.49sorphinnod
15:42.16sorphinwell, more power to ya if you can keep it secure/cooperative
15:42.39MornWorkyeah, I guess I've been running sendmail since my early linux days (1993)

15:51.28TomWsorphin: so, the 10X sweep mode, right?
15:52.51CosmicPenguinAnyone know off hand how to force the kernel to not check the partitions of IDE drives during bootup?
15:53.14TomWyeah, don't mount them
15:53.18TomWLOL
15:53.43CosmicPenguinTomW: no - this is during inital bring up
15:53.53prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: are talking about the initial kernel startup?
15:54.03CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: yeah
15:54.04TomWisn't the last two entries in fstab dealing with the file system integrity check?  like instead of "1 1" set it to "0 0" and it won't run fsck on them.
15:54.08sorphinTomW: eh?
15:54.21TomWsorphin: you said something about 10X
15:54.25sorphinyes i did
15:54.33sorphinTomW: those 6131 probes
15:54.39sorphinthey're 10x probes
15:54.42sorphin300mhz bw
15:55.06sorphindoes that essentially mean i have 300mhz x10 of bw w/ that probe ?
15:55.20TomWoh, 10X means that they attentuate the signal by a factor of 10.  10 volts on the probe would show up as 1 volt on the scope.
15:55.32TomWnothing to do with the speed.
15:55.37sorphinoh
15:56.01sorphinso there's nothing to give more bw w/o a higher speed scope then?
15:56.04prpplague^2TomW: thats after the kernel has mounted a rootfs, iirc
15:56.18sorphinprpplague: yes, it is
15:56.25sorphinyou can however

15:56.35sorphinto turn off time based fscking
15:56.42sorphinas well as mount count fscking
15:56.47TomWmost tek scopes autosense when a 10x probe is used and will adjust the vertical voltage range to accomodate it.  All a 10x probe does is give you less electrical loading (less milliamps) to the circuit you are looking at.

15:57.05sorphinchouimat: allo mat
15:57.06prpplague^2chouimat: morning
15:57.35sorphinprpplague: i clear both of them, so it never fsck's unless there's a real error
15:57.39TomWCosmicPenguin: yeah, tune2fs should do it for you.  If not hdparms, something like that.
15:58.05TomWCosmicPenguin: or, you can set the check value up so high that it practically never runs the fsck.
15:58.16sorphinTomW: um
15:58.16CosmicPenguinTomW: no, no, no - this is long, long before any devices are even mounted
15:58.18sorphinactually
15:58.30sorphinCosmicPenguin: tune2fs
15:58.33sorphin-i
15:58.35prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: are you having problems with it trashing or hanging on the check?
15:58.51CosmicPenguinTomW: it automatically does a partition check when the IDE drives are first recognized - and my problem is that the boot sector of the drive is corrupted, so it takes forever for the kernel to get past the errors
15:58.52sorphinand -c
15:59.01TomWCosmicPenguin: oh? You mean when it checks to see the organization (Hd/Cyl/Sec) of the drive?
15:59.05CosmicPenguinI know the drive is broken - I want it to skip the partition check
15:59.06sorphinoh
15:59.11chouimathttp://www.dilbert.com/
15:59.12CosmicPenguinTomW: a little bit after that
15:59.12TomWCosmicPenguin: geometry
15:59.18sorphinah, partition scan
15:59.20Error403Is it just me, or isn't there suppose to be a /dev/touchscreen on the tuxscreen?
15:59.20CosmicPenguinTomW: fs/partition/check.c
15:59.29sorphintomw had me thinking fs :P
15:59.37sorphin~fishslap tomw
15:59.42ACTION slaps tomw up side the head with a wet fish.
15:59.47prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: try looking at some of the kernel args you can pass
15:59.51TomWibot: kill ibot
15:59.52ACTION slits ibot's throat
15:59.59sorphinibot: nuke TomW
16:00.00nukes TomW with a single large nuke
16:00.04prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: should be able to put them in you bootloader
16:00.10CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: I didn't see anything right off the bat, thats why I asked
16:00.10TomW~lart sorphin
16:00.19sorphinanyways
16:00.33sorphinCosmicPenguin: um.. gimme a min, i thikn there's a way to stop it
16:00.52TomWError403: there was a ts device, I don't think it had that name though
16:00.53sorphinCosmicPenguin: btw, did you look at that hut.fi link?
16:01.14sorphinCosmicPenguin: is this the only drive on that chain ?
16:01.17Error403TomW: How could there be a device, but not have a name? :/
16:01.20CosmicPenguinsorphin: on that chain, yeah
16:01.37prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: one sec found it
16:01.40sorphinCosmicPenguin: do you want it just to skip the partition check and the drive to still be hitable later ?
16:01.45CosmicPenguinyep
16:01.52sorphink
16:02.04sorphinprpplague: which ?
16:02.04TomWError403: /boot/var/dev/ucb1x00-ts   c  666   0  0  10 14 -  -  -
16:02.19Error403TomW: Basically I'm looking for some of the information I need to write a keyboard and touchscreen driver for opie for the tuxscreen. I already have opie running, but keyboard and ts don't work
16:02.31TomWError403: ucb1x00-ts, look for the entry in sources/device_table.txt
16:02.41CosmicPenguinError403: tslib doesn't work?
16:03.21Error403CosmicPenguin: hmm, where do I get tslib?
16:03.31TomWCosmicPenguin: bah!  How fast can a librar'ied touch driver run?
16:03.32CosmicPenguinibot: tslib?
16:03.32[tslib] a library that reads /dev/ucb1x00-ts and has dynamically loadable filters for scaling, calibration, and jitter removal
16:03.43CosmicPenguinmallum: where does tslib live?
16:03.59CosmicPenguinTomW: somebody has to calibrate it
16:04.10Error403CosmicPenguin: Well, Qt/E has scaling, calibration, and jitter removal, but it's just not picking up on the correct device.
16:04.10CosmicPenguinTomW: if not tslib, then you have to write your own hacknied driver
16:04.13TomWCosmicPenguin: yeah, but the overhead...
16:04.25sorphinTomW: isn't that bad
16:04.27CosmicPenguinTomW: the overhead is there anyway - build it statically if you are so paraniod
16:04.39TomWmmm
16:04.48CosmicPenguinpersonally, I don't like tslib - but I use microwindows, and we have our own calibration built in anyway
16:05.11TomWyeah, we have tslib courtesy of Russell King...
16:05.23prpplague^2warning pasting
16:05.27prpplague^2If the auto-probing during boot time confuses a drive (ie. the drive works
16:05.27prpplague^2with hd.c but not with ide.c), then an command line option may be specified
16:05.27prpplague^2for each drive for which you'd like the drive to skip the hardware
16:05.27prpplague^2probe/identification sequence.  For example:
16:05.27prpplague^2hdb=noprobe
16:05.28prpplague^2or
16:05.30prpplague^2hdc=768,16,32
16:05.32prpplague^2hdc=noprobe
16:05.39CosmicPenguinbeautiful!
16:05.47TomWprpplague: cool!
16:05.57CosmicPenguinprpplague:  but I can still access it later?
16:06.13prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: ya based on the text you should be able to
16:06.20TomWyou should, you are just specifying instead of probing.
16:06.29Error403is it possible to cat ucb1x00-ts?
16:07.04prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: you can just add that into lilo.conf as an append arg
16:07.14CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: or grub.. :)
16:07.21prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: :)
16:07.22mallumCosmicPenguin: in arm-linux cvs
16:07.23TomWError403: probably not and get anyting usefull out of it.  IIRC, the tslib uses IOCTLs to do most work.
16:07.36prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: grubba dub dub
16:07.50CosmicPenguinTomW: actually, no - the ucb driver doesn't use any ioctls at all
16:07.55TomWah
16:08.01TomWI stand corrected
16:08.15sorphinTomW: then sit down
16:08.19TomWk
16:08.20CosmicPenguinError403: its a 12 byte packet, IIRC - x pos, y pos, pressure and timestamp
16:08.35CosmicPenguinthey're all shorts, so there should be a pad between pressure and timestamp
16:08.41CosmicPenguintimestamp might be a long though
16:08.51Error403ok, so before I start developing a driver, what's the best way to test to see if the touchscreen driver is functioning?
16:09.05CosmicPenguinError403: don't reinvent the wheel - use tslib
16:09.32TomWError403: write an app that opens /dev/ucb1x00-ts and reads it?
16:09.57sorphinTomW: so again i ask, there's no way to move/change the bw around on a scope other tha ngetting a diff scope ?
16:10.09TomWCosmicPenguin: is it a stream or block device?
16:10.20CosmicPenguinTomW: char device
16:11.25TomWsorphin: no, the probe can limit what the scope sees, 100MHz probe will "roll-off", or attenuate the higher frequency signals giving you an erroreous reading of the signal aplitude.
16:12.02sorphinTomW: i meant something magnifying what the scope can handle
16:12.18TomWsorphin: device "magnifying"
16:12.28sorphinyou mean define?
16:12.33TomWsorphin: err, define "magnifying"
16:12.51sorphinwell, atm, this 300mhz scope will do 0-300mhz, correct?
16:12.57TomWright
16:13.10TomWso you want to goto 1GHz with it?
16:13.11sorphinany way to say shift that?
16:13.24sorphininstead of DC-300mhz
16:13.31TomWso you want to goto 1GHz with it?
16:13.46sorphini dunno bout that high, but yea, something like that
16:13.49TomWain't gonna happen
16:14.00sorphinheh
16:14.22TomWsorphin: if you are going to use it on RF, you really should look into a spectrum ananlyzer.
16:14.33sorphinwhy not ? :P you can convert 800mhz signals down to 400mhz for a scanner :P
16:14.35Error403CosmicPenguin: Well, what device does tslib provide? /dev/psaux ? :)
16:14.53TomWwhen dealing with RF you are more concerned with watts instead of volts.
16:14.58CosmicPenguinError403: no, the device is ucbx100-ts char (11,0)
16:15.00sorphinTomW: not talking RF
16:15.04CosmicPenguintslib just knows how to read it and calibrate it correctly
16:15.05sorphinpersay
16:15.27TomWsorphin: no practical way to extend the frequency range of a scope.
16:15.35sorphinTomW: unless you consider a cpu's speed RF
16:15.45TomWsorphin: except to replace the horiz & vert amps.
16:15.53TomWsorphin: it is
16:15.54Error403CosmicPenguin: Right, but like I said, I don't need a driver for that since Qt/E provides that (as long as it's similar to other touchscreens), I just need to let Qt/E know which device the touchscreen is
16:16.06CosmicPenguinError403: so tell it
16:16.29TomWError403: /dev/ucb1x00-ts
16:16.35Error403yes yes :)
16:16.42CosmicPenguinHow is it that Qt/E doesn't have a ucb driver?  
16:16.58TomW'cause QT sux?
16:17.05CosmicPenguinThats only the most used digital->analog chip in the embedded world
16:17.07TomWheh
16:17.22Error403TomW: Hey! Bad person, you.
16:17.27TomWheh
16:17.41sorphinError403: well, QT *does* suck
16:17.43Error403CosmicPenguin: I didn't say it didn't, but is that device standard? Maybe I'm missing something
16:17.47Error403no, not really
16:18.02Error403Let me guess, GTK is so much better?
16:18.12TomWmatchbox is ok
16:18.15CosmicPenguinError403: its used quite widly - ADS, the Zaurus, the tuxscreen, the Agenda....
16:18.17TomWfor embedded stuff
16:18.45CosmicPenguinError403: no - but tinyX and matchbox and fltk and Microwindows and PicoGUI are all quite superior
16:18.58Error403In which way?
16:19.01TomWError403: depends on your point of view, I don't build PDAs so QT/E is of no interest to me.
16:19.54TomWError403: PDA in my mind == universal device, I do a lot of proprietary hardware design that does a single dedicated task(s).
16:20.16prpplague^2Error403: i'm with CosmicPenguin, there are alot of far superior GUI's than qt/e
16:20.29TomWError403: for me to use a "universal" desktop makes no sense, it is a performance hog & eats up a lot of memory.
16:20.32sorphinsince kergoth hasn't been around
16:20.39sorphinibot: tuesday
16:20.39Tuesday sucks, because it follows Monday (see monday)
16:20.54TomWsorphin: we have to change Tuesday...
16:21.08sorphinTomW: to ?
16:21.23TomWibot: Tuesday is also a day in which there are no meetings
16:21.24okay, TomW
16:21.29Error403prpplague^2: There are no actual GUIs that are superior in documentation, provided functionality, and flexibility, but there are (obviously) going to be some that are smaller and lighter.
16:21.31TomWibot: tuesday
16:21.32Tuesday sucks, because it follows Monday (see monday), or a day in which there are no meetings
16:22.22CosmicPenguinError403: unfortunately, you have stumbled into a group of people who just plain don't like Qt/E
16:22.24TomWsorphin: like who in their right mind holds a meeting on a Tuesday, eh?
16:22.36TomWCosmicPenguin: with reason
16:22.50prpplague^2Error403: hmm, i'd have to disagree, but its a respectful disagreement :)
16:23.01TomWprpplague^2: noted
16:23.10Error403CosmicPenguin: Yeah, I picked up on that, but unfortunately anyone with a C-liking tends to share the same opinion (maybe it's just coincidence)
16:23.36sorphinTomW: heh, you'd be surprised
16:23.37Error403I know a lot of people dislike C++ because GCC sucks at compiling it
16:23.45TomWError403: well, IMO, C is the only language best suited for realtime work.
16:23.56sorphinError403: umm
16:24.03sorphini dislike C++, regardless of what gcc does w/ it
16:24.11TomWError403: you have a much higher degree of control over the code that is generated and what it is doing.
16:24.58Error403Ok, well, in the general interest of all of us, lets stop before making this a flamewar ;)
16:25.29CosmicPenguinError403: you're just lucky scanline isn't here
16:25.44TomWError403: C++ code generation can create whole bunches of opcodes that you would not be aware of unless you dis-assembled the binary, or listed the assembler source (-s)
16:26.02Error403CosmicPenguin: Yes, Qt/E opens /dev/ts on the Zaurus
16:26.08TomWError403: micah is a nice guy, misguided, but nice.
16:26.48Error403TomW: I agree for kernel level stuff C is far superior considering that C++ is overkill (and on some systems, has more overhead)
16:27.26sorphini just dislike all the extra crap in C++
16:27.41sorphini did C++ for the class that required it, and then stopped using it again
16:28.13Error403Well, I respect your opinion.
16:28.22Error403any hoot, going to make this thing work
16:28.34Error403I think a simple symlink MIGHT work
16:29.42prpplague^2Error403: what are you having problems with?
16:29.51CosmicPenguinError403: so how big is your image?  Does it fit on the flash?
16:31.10Error403CosmicPenguin: Nah, I am using it over NFS, but it's like 50-60meg
16:31.13Error403probably less
16:31.25CosmicPenguinWow - thats too bad
16:31.43Error403well, damn 'du' is following symlinks
16:31.49Error403and tacking that on
16:33.01Error403woah
16:33.12Error403there's a 28meg static Qt/E lib in there
16:33.15Error403heh
16:33.20sorphinugh
16:33.32Error403Qt/E itself is 3.8megs
16:33.46Error403That's almost a full build though
16:34.05Error403The Zaurus uses like half as much for its lib
16:34.10CosmicPenguinError403: that incudes a browser, games, pim suite and all that?
16:34.34Error403CosmicPenguin: Nope, Opie does that, and that's another 14meg
16:34.34Error403hehe
16:34.37Error403I don't care though
16:34.38CosmicPenguinOhh...  
16:34.42Error403NFS rulez ;)
16:35.05CosmicPenguinError403: so, thats not really embedded, now is it?
16:35.09sorphinError403: he's snickering cuz pixil beats that ;)
16:35.25chouimatError403:  and your goals are?
16:35.35Error403keeping in mind that size isn't an issue
16:35.38sorphinchouimat: sounds liek to take as much space as possible ;)
16:35.45CosmicPenguinSize is always an issue
16:35.50prpplague^2Error403: ha, when is size never an issue?
16:35.50sorphinError403: size is always an issue, just ask any woman
16:36.00Error403CosmicPenguin: Well, I'm not doing this to gloat about my size ( hehe ), but
16:36.01Error403hah
16:36.04chouimatpixil is out now? or it's just on CosmicPenguin box
16:36.11CosmicPenguinchouimat: still pending
16:36.26CosmicPenguinchouimat: you know how it is - corporate wheels move slowly
16:36.30Error403Is that like Paxil, but for the embedded devices? ;)
16:36.33Error403j/k :)
16:36.43sorphinError403: i should kick you just for that ;)
16:36.45chouimatCosmicPenguin: ok but we can't do anything with Vaporware :)
16:36.59CosmicPenguinchouimat: You're preaching to the choir
16:37.01Error403sorphin: You said something along the lines of that last time ;)
16:37.10chouimatError403: that one is bad
16:37.18Error403hehe
16:37.20sorphinError403: well, you're on strike 2 ;)
16:37.27Error403sorphin: pff
16:37.39CosmicPenguinsorphin: go easy on him
16:37.48sorphinCosmicPenguin: why? he likes QT and C++
16:37.50CosmicPenguinsorphin: we're not haters here, even if they do love Qt/E
16:37.57sorphinCosmicPenguin: i should be larting him w/ a baseball bat
16:38.07chouimatsorphin: he code for KDE too
16:38.14sorphinchouimat: *shiver*
16:38.16Error403sorphin: I am thinking the samething about you, but I don't care
16:38.30sorphinError403: you don't know a thing about me ;)
16:38.31Error403chouimat: Not anymore, I don't code anymore (minus trying to get this thing working)
16:38.43Error403sorphin: Right back at ya
16:38.54sorphinError403: i know what you prefer/work on
16:38.54chouimatError403: you know George-? Sorphin is like him but with more class
16:39.08sorphinchouimat: and that means
16:39.24chouimatsorphin: hehe
16:39.30Error403what's Yopy? ;)
16:39.32sorphinscanline: uh oh
16:39.46sorphinError403: you're in trouble now ;) micah's here

16:40.00scanlineyeah.. or something...
16:40.17Error403whatever
16:40.19sorphinError403: a mispronounced Yuppy ;)
16:40.25chouimatsorphin: I was saying someething you act like George- but you're more polite than him ... that's all :)
16:40.41sorphinchouimat: who is George- ?
16:40.50sorphinscanline: where ?
16:41.01chouimatsorphin: aa 15 years-old twit that lurk in #zaurus and #kde-devel
16:41.03scanlinesorphin: Colorado Space Grant Consortium
16:41.18Error403Oh, Yopy is a touch screen device
16:41.31chouimatsorphin: it's a joke
16:41.32sorphinscanline: coo
16:41.33CosmicPenguinscanline: sounds like fun
16:41.40Error403chouimat: 15? I thought he was like 13
16:41.46scanlinecould be :)
16:41.53sorphinchouimat: lesse, i'm not 15, and i don't lurk
16:42.02sorphinscanline: good luck
16:42.07scanlinethanks
16:42.26sorphinchouimat: and i dunno about polite, i'm nice when it's warranted
16:42.28chouimatError403: he got it about 2 or 3 weeks agoo
16:42.31CosmicPenguinsorphin: people might call you alot of things, but luker isn't one of them
16:42.51sorphinCosmicPenguin: well, atleast i know i'm a prick

16:44.55Error403I also have: long y, long x, long pressure, and long long milliseconds
16:44.57chouimatprpplague^2: got time to play with the gp322?
16:45.11prpplague^2chouimat: not yet
16:45.23prpplague^2chouimat: just got scheduled for 8 days in seattle :(
16:45.27CosmicPenguinprpplague:  noprobe made it disappear forever
16:45.42chouimatprpplague: ok ... I'm still wondering if I order one
16:45.44prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: did you add the drive geometry as well?
16:45.54CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: no...
16:46.00CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: oops
16:46.02sorphinCosmicPenguin: kinda need to ;)
16:46.05Error403CosmicPenguin: Oh, I suppose I could do that
16:46.05prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: uhhh.....you need to
16:46.27prpplague^2anyone know if there is an easy way to play a wav file on the internal speaker?
16:46.42prpplague^2of a peecee that is
16:46.46sorphinprpplague: not w/o the driver there is out
16:46.51sorphinfor using the internal speaker
16:46.59signal11argh
16:47.02signal11aros...
16:47.21CosmicPenguinsorphin: I've seen a program that can do that - but you do need the speaker driver
16:47.32CosmicPenguinthere should be one in later versions of the kernel, irrc
16:47.38sorphinyeah
16:47.42sorphini've seen it before
16:47.54sorphinnever had inclination to use it
16:47.55Error403CosmicPenguin: drivers/misc/ucb1x00-ts.c maybe? ;)
16:48.30Error403cool, it's the touchscreen struct used in the iPaq
16:49.49Error403I think I'll make this patch (to Qt and/or Opie) public for other Tuxscreen users
16:49.52Error403but nap time first
16:56.23TomWsuddenly got quiet around here, must be lunch time or the boss showed up.
16:56.40TomWlunchtime
16:56.43sorphinheh
16:58.59TomWCosmicPenguin: btw, I grilled some chicken last night over charcoal.  When I spiced it with Cumen I also sprinkled a little cinnamin on it as well, along with the red pepper.
17:00.03CosmicPenguinTomW: sounds tasty
17:01.17TomWCosmicPenguin: tastes good cold, you don't notice the spices as much when the chicken is hot off the grill.
17:01.23CosmicPenguinTomW: nod
17:01.36chouimathmmm with a little mayonnaise ....
17:01.47sorphinchouimat: yuck
17:02.12chouimat:P
17:02.16CosmicPenguinWhen it comes to mexican food, cinnimon and lime are the very perfect ingredients
17:02.31CosmicPenguinIts not by chance that tequila goes so well with a lime
17:02.50sorphinCosmicPenguin: heh, even i like taco hell's steak soft tacos (they have lime sauce)
17:03.11CosmicPenguinHmmm....  here's the recap.  If I boot with a 7.2 disk and do the rescue mode, I can read my borked drive no problem
17:03.24CosmicPenguinBut if I boot with 2.4.18 and normal IDE params, I can't mount it at all
17:03.35CosmicPenguinThe question is - what the hell am I missing?
17:03.54sorphinlook at what their rescue mode/kernel does/users
17:05.06chouimatok time for a little tv
17:05.11CosmicPenguinsorphin: sadly, its a cdrom - so the magic happens in the initrd
17:05.50CosmicPenguinAnd I can't chain my IDE->CF dongle into the mix - so what I have is a serious lack of options
17:06.02sorphinCosmicPenguin: nod
17:08.48CosmicPenguinsorphin: any ideas?
17:09.23sorphinhmm
17:09.40MornWorkhi CosmicPenguin
17:09.45CosmicPenguinMornWork: hi
17:09.49CosmicPenguinsorphin: maybe a floppy disk?
17:10.07sorphinCosmicPenguin: yeah, depending on the size of their initrd/kernel
17:10.20CosmicPenguinsorphin: I'm not worried about the bootup - since I do have a CF
17:10.24sorphintho you can make it 2 floppies if needed
17:10.26sorphinnod
17:10.38CosmicPenguinI'm more worried about getting the disk stuff back on to my other system
17:10.44CosmicPenguinI wonder...
17:11.05sorphinCosmicPenguin: so RH's kernel scans the partitions ok?
17:11.19CosmicPenguinsorphin: yeah
17:11.30sorphinCosmicPenguin: hmm
17:11.35sorphinwhat kern version?
17:11.51sorphinand have you tried giving it the geometry like was mentioned?
17:13.19CosmicPenguinsorphin: yeah, didn't work
17:13.29CosmicPenguinsorphin: is it a partition thing?
17:14.01CosmicPenguinI have msdos partition support built in
17:15.22sorphinso what happens, it tries to read the ptable and hangs ?
17:15.33CosmicPenguinBad access on the sector
17:16.16CosmicPenguindangit, dangit, dangit
17:16.27sorphinhmm
17:16.49sorphincan't just boot w/ RH's kernel
17:16.53sorphinand your rootfs ?
17:17.23CosmicPenguinRH's kernel is on the cdrom -
17:17.58sorphinso?
17:18.13sorphinyou *can* specify a root device
17:18.33sorphinlast i checked
17:18.45CosmicPenguinthats a good point
17:19.02sorphin:)
17:21.02CosmicPenguinthey do have a boot image on the CD
17:21.05CosmicPenguinfor a dos disk
17:21.06sorphinyup
17:21.36sorphinCosmicPenguin: all that cd is doing is emulating a floppy via eltorito
17:22.36CosmicPenguinsorphin: I agree - and that would free up my ide
17:22.49CosmicPenguinsorphin: ok, I'll do that
17:23.56sorphinTomW: back for more huh?
17:24.11CosmicPenguinsorphin: unfortunately, my only working floppy is in my desktop, so I will have to so some dynamic hotswapping
17:24.29sorphinheh
17:24.35sorphinevery machine i have has a floppy
17:24.44sorphinplus i still have an Ls-120 somewhere
17:24.51CosmicPenguinmy epia didn't come with a HD, sadly
17:24.55CosmicPenguins/HD/FD/
17:24.59sorphinand yet you have Dell no longer selling machine's w/ floppies

19:35.58MornWorkany bright ideas on how to reboot a system you don't have physical access to when the reboot command doesn't work?
19:36.04MornWorkthe load is now over 105

19:37.00Error403MornWork: Somehow send it Ctrl+Alt+Delete :)
19:37.13Error403well
19:37.18Error403I suppose that just runs reboot

19:58.03sorphinMornWork:  i had this prob before
19:58.14MornWorklots of alloc errors
19:58.16sorphinhad to have something to call the kernel's reboot command
19:58.27MornWorkseems the OOM is killing things
19:58.37MornWorksorphin: such as?
19:58.43sorphinMornWork: i turned off OOM btw ;)
19:58.51MornWorkthe "reboot" command doesn't seem to work
19:58.56sorphinMornWork: i know
19:59.03sorphinreboot does a graceful
19:59.12sorphinyou have to call the same call IT makes
19:59.14sorphinwhen it goes to reboot
19:59.29MornWorkyou wouldn't happen to know another way of doing that?
20:00.14sorphinno, it's a call to a func the kernel
20:00.19sorphinother than that
20:00.31sorphinall you can do is have someone flip the switch/push the button
20:00.40sorphinif you can't SysRQ it
20:01.01MornWorkI have no physical access

20:40.43sorphinsomeone else tried something?
20:45.20Russ"Should be zero means the value transferred in the Rd."
20:49.55CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: I didn't put it in yet
20:57.56CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: I'm struggling with the definition of the blob() type
20:58.10prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: i figured you might
20:58.33prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: probably need to start with a specific type rather than generic to get some concepts down
20:58.44prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: try doing a simple image file
20:59.13prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: i.e. when you click on the widget a file browser pops up
20:59.23prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: work out some details there first
20:59.26CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: how do we specify how the destination device is supposed to handle the type?
20:59.27prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: imho
20:59.49CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: for example, how do we infer that the device should get the barcode from the barcode reader?
21:00.17prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: well that should be the programs job, not ours
21:00.45CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: but its supposed to be a generic form
21:01.07prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: agreed, but sometimes you need to start with something specific to understand the overall process
21:01.11CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: so we would be completely unable to specify a generic type.  If we wanted a barcode, it would have to be type barcode()
21:01.23CosmicPenguinif we wanted a web cam image, it would have to be webcam(), etc...
21:01.30filemmm?
21:01.46CosmicPenguinBecause the program would be unable to determine if it should get the image from a camera, file dialog, etc, etc...
21:01.54prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: trust me, if you start with one of those and just have a look at what needs to be done first
21:02.07prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: then think about what you have to do to make it generic
21:02.21prpplague^2file: go back to sleep
21:02.26prpplague^2file: :)
21:02.29CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: I agree - so lets look at a barcode, and a image
21:02.36prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: ok
21:03.10CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: so on those devices that are camera ready, then the image will come automaticaly from the camera, and otherwise it will come from a file dialog?
21:03.18CosmicPenguinIs that the restriction we need to make?
21:03.49prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: well, as i see it, external apps will general respond back with a filename
21:04.02prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: thats what will actuall be stored
21:04.47CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: ok.  I guess we can then assume that any media type will spawn an external application?
21:05.01CosmicPenguinAlso, IO types?
21:06.26prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: i'm thinking on that
21:09.14prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: i'm thinking io types should open a device and expect input
21:09.26prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: let me running a couple ideas through
21:09.36prpplague^2CosmicPenguin: give me a little time
21:11.39CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: if it helps, think about the same form running on a PDA and a cell phone
21:11.59CosmicPenguinprpplague^2: when you have to think about the different form factors, it makes things a bit more interesting

23:16.01sorphinCosmicPenguin: i'd even charge you good prices

23:22.21sorphinhow much did that set you back?
23:22.39sorphinGPSFan_: btw.. been trying to figure something out
23:22.42GPSFan_sorphin: makes a good general purpose ttl-RS232 interface, can be used lots of other places
23:23.16sorphinGPSFan_: they have cables to power/charge the Zaurus off of USB
23:23.19sorphinhowever
23:23.34GPSFan_sorphin: ~$7.00 each. but with the setup charges, 20 was the best price point.
23:23.35sorphineach USB device is supposed to have a max of 500ma
23:23.51sorphinlooking at the back of the Z
23:24.10sorphinw/ the ac adapter, it's 5.0v @ 6.2W
23:24.33sorphinthats more than 500ma
23:25.11Error403Am I right to assume that the tuxscreen has way different keycodes than other devices/computers..?
23:25.15GPSFan_the 6.2 watts is on the wall wart or on the back of the Z itself?
23:25.22sorphinGPSFan_: the Z
23:25.32sorphinthe wallwart puts out like 2.1A
23:26.32sorphinso i dunno how serialio is pullin it off
23:27.24GPSFan_sorphin: lots of people/companies violate USB specs. also, the 6.2watts may be a max figure with BL on full, charging, and some for the CF & SD cards. I'm sure Sharp isn't above "bending" the rules. ;>)
23:27.26Error403ok then, where can I get the scancodes...?
23:27.47sorphinError403: umm
23:28.00sorphinno clue
23:28.31sorphinGPSFan_: well, 6.2w is 1.24A
23:28.34Error403Excuse my ignorance about this embedded stuff, but is there a way I can test the scancodes for each key?
23:28.35sorphinthat's bending a bit far
23:29.39GPSFan_sorphin: do you have any actual figures? as in measurements.
23:30.04sorphinGPSFan_: no
23:30.38GPSFan_sorphin: my ipaq 3765 says 5v @2A on the back.
23:30.48sorphinGPSFan_: btw.. any hints/links on making an L meter (or adapter for a meter that can measure everything else), and/or a watt meter (saw on a commercial, a guy using a watt meter, heh
23:31.13sorphinGPSFan_: well, maybe, but serialIO isn't also selling a cable to charge your ipaq from usb ;)
23:32.41GPSFan_sorphin: L meter, check the ARRL handbook, or maybe back issues of Nuts&Volts. for a low power DC watt meter, jsut use a DVM to measure the current and voltage seperately.
