10:59.48pb_florian: re
11:00.04florianyep... some kernel tweaks...
11:01.30pb_ah, this new mbdesktop is a big improvement.
11:01.51pb_The text is much more legible now.
11:02.12tigertthe bold font?
11:02.40pb_well, it's gone from 5 items per line to only 4, and I think the text is at a larger size now than it used to be.
11:03.03pb_I think it was already bold before, but the combination of bold and the "shadowing" that mbdesktop does didn't look too great at small sizes.
11:03.19tigertit didnt
11:03.19tigertwell
11:03.25tigert<PROTECTED>
11:03.32pb_ah, ok
11:03.35tigertsince the normal font wasnt thick enough, it got mixed with the shadow
11:03.44pb_right, that makes sense
11:04.31tigertuh
11:04.36tigertdid something change in mb?
11:04.39tigertmine doesnt startup now
11:04.46tigertmbdesktop: mbterm.desktop no good, ignoring
11:04.46tigertmbdesktop: miniwave.desktop no good, ignoring
11:04.46tigertmbdesktop_item.c:188 mbdesktop_items_append_to_folder Passed folder item is not folder
11:04.46tigertmbdesktop: failed to open /usr/local/share/applications
11:06.17pb_http://handhelds.org/scap/port.21495.png is what I have now.  The kerning on "Active" leaves a bit to be desired, and "Sketchbook" is still close to running into "Calendar", but overall it's a definite improvement.
11:06.55pb_tigert: I see some of that stuff as well, but it doesn't appear to be fatal.
11:06.59tigertok
11:07.04tigertah, my disk was full again
11:07.08pb_doh
11:07.40tigert16mb is a pain :]
11:07.56pb_yeah, indeed.
11:08.41pb_maybe it's time we had another go at slimming down the standard distribution.  I think the size of bootgpe2 has been creeping up again over the past few months.
11:10.56pb_florian: hm, gpe-wlancfg is one of the largest binaries we have.  Is this due to glade?
11:11.08pb_-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       116416 Jul 16 23:45 gpe-wlancfg
11:12.43pb_oh, and gpe-conf is also massive.
11:12.48pb_-rwsr-tr-x    1 root     root       226896 Jul 16 23:45 gpe-conf
11:13.12florianpb_: i'm not sure - but it is larger than it should be. At the moment glade only creates the soure files...
11:13.57florianpb_: I think Ole removed some obsolete handcoded dialogs a few minutes ago...
11:14.11pb_florian: aha, right
11:15.12pb_There's no obvious cause I can see for gpe-conf being large.  I suppose it's just a complex piece of software.
11:16.51florianpb_: Yes, there is lots of stuff inside... some parts are rather complex - the pcmcia applet and the networking stuff.
11:17.32florianI updated from unstable... gpe-dm doesn't start anymore
11:19.58florianAnd syslogd isn't started... at least not in runlevel 3
11:21.21*** join/#gpe PaxAnima (~petter@b097c.studby.ntnu.no)
11:23.10pb_florian: darn.
11:23.22pb_did you get the new update-rc.d before the new gpe-dm?
11:24.02pb_I guess you should try running gpe-dm.postinst and see what happens.
11:24.13florianpb_: i'm not sure... wait
11:25.31florianpb_: yes, i remember - it created the links - but starting manually doesn't help....
11:28.35pb_ah, do you mean gpe-dm starts but gpe-login doesn't?
11:28.57pb_it looks like I broke /etc/X11/Xinit.d/30xTs_Calibrate in the last version.
11:30.07florianyep, this could be - i have a dark screen with X cursor
11:31.07pb_okay
11:31.11pb_let me upload a new version.
11:31.31floriangpe-dm: gpe-dm: session pid ... exited with ....
11:31.40florianthis do i get in my log
11:31.44pb_ipkg install http://handhelds.org/feeds/unstable/gpe-session-scripts_0.48_all.ipk
11:31.45pb_see if that helps
11:35.17florianhmm, no driver for ma cf wireles an card is loaded.... and i have many of these lines in my log:
11:35.39floriandma period = ..., clok = ...
11:35.43florianeh dmasg
11:35.49florianeh demesg
11:36.03pb_I think those "dma period" things are from the framebuffer driver.  You will get one whenever X restarts.

14:24.51tigertipkg upgrade
14:24.54pb_sounds like you fell for my earlier joke version of gpe-session-scripts.
14:25.00tigert*pong* it popped up the login thing
14:25.03tigertyea
14:25.05pb_that's the same problem florian was having
14:25.09tigertDownloading http://familiar.handhelds.org/feeds/unstable/gpe-session-scripts_0.48_all.ipk
14:25.10pb_ah right :-)
14:25.11tigert:)
14:25.14tigertexactly
14:25.30tigertso it still forgets the calibration every boot
14:25.41pb_oh hell, does it?  I hoped that was fixed.
14:51.31pb_tigert: maybe you can take a look at /etc/X11/Xinit.d/30xTs_Calibrate and try to figure out why it isn't restoring the calibration correctly.
14:52.50tigertwell
14:53.01tigertwhat calibration tool is the one which has white bg and blue crosses?
14:53.08tigertxcalibrate is the other one
14:53.15tigertbut it wouldnt work even with xcalibrate installed
14:53.29tigert(xcalibrate isnt installed in the familiar gpe image)
14:53.40pb_tigert: xtscal is the white+blue tool
14:53.48tigertok
14:54.20pb_we stopped using xcalibrate because it doesn't work on newer ipaqs, and looks even uglier than xtscal does.
14:54.30tigertumok
14:54.31tigertyes
14:54.45tigertso the init script uses xcalibrate still
14:54.49tigertthat would be the reason
14:54.56pb_even in the latest version?
14:55.10pb_it ought to support both now.

14:57.25tigertI am blind apparently
14:58.35tigertit *should* work yea
14:59.13tigertor maybe that works now too after I updated
14:59.21tigertyes
14:59.30tigertso it was fixed today/yesterday
15:00.04pb_ah right, cool
15:01.28tigertshould aerial work?
15:01.46pb_depends on your network card.
15:01.58pb_I think it prefers the orinoco driver to hostap (which is the default)/
15:02.10tigertwvlan_cs               33176   1
15:02.18pb_oh, right
15:02.27tigerthm
15:02.31pb_not sure what the situation is with wvlan.  Florian is the gpe-aerial dude.
15:02.37tigertsince I know my airport card works on the laptop, but I had to patch it
15:03.00tigertit works with stuff like airsnort
15:03.23pb_right
15:05.19florianwvlan_cs doesn't work... no monitor mode support. in theory hostap_cs, orinoco_cs and prism2_cs (wlan-ng) should work...
15:05.38florianaironet could be supported, but i have nothing to test...
15:06.15florianah yes, hostap monitor mode is broken in ipaq...
15:07.39pb_florian: btw, jamey checked hostap_cs 0.0.4 into cvs, and I will build new packages later today.
15:10.38florianpb_: good - 0.0.4 is more or less a bugfixing release... but i fear that noone of the hostap guy has an arm machine to test... they tend to ignore arm related questions in the mailinglist.

15:27.19tigertyea
15:27.23tigertit's free AFAIK
15:27.27tigertno idea how big it is
15:27.40pb_certainly be worth a look.
15:31.03tigertyea
15:31.23tigertwhen apps support this, it's gonna be cool
15:31.33tigertlike you can export your business card from the addressbook

15:58.09pb_ah, I see hostap now includes a prism2 firmware upgrading utility as well.  maybe I should package that for Familiar so we can see if newer firmware helps.

16:03.42tigertmallum: didnt
16:03.46tigertI just found it
16:03.46florianre
16:03.48tigertdidnt look much
16:03.56tigertit is more like an API than something for me as an end user
16:04.00tigertbut I need to have a look
16:04.19tigertI am not a coder so APIs dont interest me much since I have no clue :)
16:05.07mallumtigert: it had some little demo apps, but I couldn't seem to get them to work
16:06.31pb_<kergoth> pb_: hey, wonder if hostap w/ firmware download could support the symbol/spectrum cf cards.. they're prism based, but had to use those other drivers since they need the firmware download at init time..
16:06.37pb_florian: any thoughts on that remark from kergoth?
16:06.50pb_you and Nils have symbol cards, right?
16:07.08mallumtigert: I started hacking the wider mbinputmgr stuff for the new icons
16:07.16tigertcool
16:07.35mallumtigert: its gonna be slightly harder than I though, as it will have to rotate the icons for vertical panels
16:08.16florianpb_: sounds interesting...
16:08.40florianpb_: nils has a socket card... let me ask him.
16:09.08pb_florian: thanks
16:13.44tigertmallum: shouldnt the panel be on the bottom always?
16:14.00tigertI think it makes more sense there
16:14.05tigertit is pretty hard to use the menus on the side
16:15.44mallumtigert: on some screen sizes it makes more sense to have the panel vertical, so you get more screen space
16:16.09mallumtigert: for apps
16:18.10tigertmaybe
16:18.16tigertbut the panel is not that big though
16:18.25tigertlike on the ipaq, it is just OK
16:18.39tigertit is just harder to use on the side
16:18.44tigertI'd rather have it autohide then
16:27.24mallumtigert:It doesn't have to flip on the ipaq after a rotation, you can turn it off
16:28.44mallumtigert: it just does that currently aswell to avoid the problem of what happens when you fill a large panel up, rotate it so it becomes small - what happens to the overflowing apps
17:25.19florianpb_: nils told me there must be some more stuff in spectrum24 driver... but it should be easy to add support for it to hostap.
17:25.51pb_florian: ok.  well, I'll build hostap with the downloader enabled, and we can try to figure out what else is required.
17:33.08florianpb_: ok

20:38.01pb_I also uploaded hostap-utils to unstable, which includes the firmware downloader and a couple of other things.

20:39.25florianpb_: nice, will we be able to turn the ipaq into a full-featured accespoint? ;-)
20:40.08pb_florian: ah, for that you need hostapd.  I'm not sure what the packaging status of that is: let me find out.
20:40.53pb_btw, if anybody else is plagued with a slow link, you might like to know that ipkg 0.99.88 can use gzipped Packages files for "ipkg update".
20:42.00florianmallum: changing the iconsize to 36 px, mbdesktop displays only three icons in a row...
20:43.52florianpb_: yep... i don't think many people will need this - but i saw this in oldenburg last year....
20:44.21pb_florian: right.
20:45.00florianok, trying to update...
20:45.57floriannow let's look what ole did today...
20:50.02pb_florian: hostapd was not packaged, but is now.
20:52.08florianpb_: i'll try this some time... but first we have some work to do :-)
20:53.45pb_florian: aha!  with station firmware 1.7.4, my prism2 card seems to work with gpe-aerial using hostap_cs.
20:54.16florianpb_: cool! need to try this!
20:54.27pb_florian: my previous firmware was much older - 1.3.6.
20:55.05pb_I used the image from http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/1.7.4.tar.gz
20:55.26pb_"prism2_srec -r wlan0 rf010704.hex" seems to be the command to use.
20:58.19florianpb_: i'll try this... i have a siemens prism2 card with really old firmware.
20:59.15florianpb_: there is a problem with the sshd and scp packages - they both install scp
20:59.37pb_florian: yes, you should not use those two together.
20:59.50pb_florian: scp is for use with dropbear.
21:00.43pb_is there some dependency issue that is causing both to be installed at once?
21:01.15florianpb_: did you package this tool to update the prism firmware too?
21:01.23pb_florian: yes, it's in hostap-utils.
21:01.41florianpb_: cool....
21:01.50florianlooks like it survived...
21:02.01pb_I also included "hostap_rid" and "hostap_crypt_conf" in that package, though I have no idea what they do.
21:02.37florianweeeee...... mmc is back :-)
21:03.00pb_:-)
21:03.58floriani need a better icon for aerial... :-/
21:04.18pb_maybe tigert could help with that.
