15:38.04lardmanI can't get a ` either using the keyboard (which is fair enough as perhaps the keymap is broken), nor with the on-screen keyboard (which I thought was a bit odd). This is on a Zaurus C7x0
15:38.20lardmanAnyone have any suggestions as to how I can obtain one?
15:47.07pb_What does xev report when you try to type that key?
15:49.09lardmanI'll just download it
15:53.15lardmanOh, it's not in the feed
15:53.42lardmannor is it a package in its own right
15:55.00lardmanIs it part of xauth?
15:55.50pb_Ah, that's a bit sad.  No, I don't think it is part of xauth.
15:56.05pb_http://ipkgfind.handhelds.org/details.phtml?package=xaux-clients&id=12613731&official=&format=
15:56.07pb_try that one
15:56.53lardmanok
15:58.10pb_might be worth filing a bug against 0.8.x and request that it be re-added.
15:58.38reenooI don't think it builds against the stripped down xlibs
15:58.59reenoowhich is why it's not in OE
15:59.53reenooyou can always run xev on a desktop and set DISPLAY appropriately

16:19.28lardmanI tell a lie, looks like I tried to run the menu entry
16:19.30lardmandoh
16:19.39pb_!
16:20.43lardmanOkay, it's running, what do I do with it?
16:21.23pb_Press the offending key and see what it says.
16:21.30lardmanTitle "Event Tester" and a black box in the top LH corner, but it does nothing
16:21.48lardmanah, it spits it out to the term?
16:23.03lardmanit says (amongst other things) keycode 8 (keysym 0x60, grave)
16:24.18pb_that sounds about right.
16:24.20lardmanand it's printed one out too
16:24.28pb_but you don't get any input in, say, gpe-edit?
16:24.45lardmanI don't in the Xterm, hang on I'll try gpe-edit
16:25.38lardmanhmm, it works in the gpe apps
16:25.39reenooprobably just another rxvt-unicode bug
16:25.44lardmanok
16:26.00reenoothe '=' doesn't work either
16:26.10lardmanworks okay for me
16:26.32lardmanah, on screen keyboard you mean?
16:26.44lardmanin that case, same for me - no =
16:33.36pb_okay
16:33.47pb_sounds like you'd need to take that up with the rxvt-unicode people, then.
16:35.16lardmancool, anyway I've got a ` now so I may yet manage to have bl control

16:42.52lardmanafaik Cambridge is not a campus university, it's spread out over the town

18:17.34francereenoo: it has been down a long time! debating whether or not to move it out of ldap into nss_mysql
18:17.56francemysql is understood by more people
18:18.22franceit appears that only Nick and I understand the openldap stuff and nick is no longer about.
18:19.00francewith mysql jamey, andy, steve or brian could help, when things get broken.
18:20.02reenooopenldap administration can be quite demanding
18:20.31francethe issue is that they format of the config files change along with the database
18:20.44franceand when the rpms were upgraded (security), it did not go well.
18:21.05franceso 1/2 a day to fix it or 1 day to move to nss_mysql

18:21.43francereenoo: I keep txt file backups. ;_D
18:22.53reenooI used to work for a german linux shop that's specialized on openldap based solution back in 2003. database corruptions were causing us serious headaches...
18:22.54francefor example: (koen is handy)

18:22.58francecn: Koen Kooi
18:22.59franceloginShell: /bin/bash
18:23.35reenooI know ldiff ;)
18:23.41francereenoo: yup, that is why, the nighly cron job dumps everything to text which is grabbed by the incremental backup system
18:23.43france:-D
18:26.55francereenoo: ldap is a great idea, I just wish it was implemented differently. (then agian I say that about java)
18:28.15francethe nss_mysql does a good job, but it leaves me with a centralized logging issue for lastlogin, etc...
18:28.31francelooking at the various pam optoins....
18:29.04francegoing with mysql may eleminate the need for kerberos
18:29.55reenoofrance: I talked to an admin of a >100k users network a while back. apparently it depends on what server you use. the netscape one (which redhat open sourced recently) is at a totally different level.

19:39.37pu_buhaah
19:41.10pu_buhawhile i'm here, is GPE any better than Opie? someone told me that Opie is more "polished" than GPE... but Opie seems poorly "polished" to me, and full of bugs.
19:41.51koen|tvI think we are slightly biased :)
19:41.59pu_buhai was also told that GPE requires more storage space to achieve equivalent functionality to Opie
19:42.09koen|tvthat isn't true

21:02.12lardmanI'm back
21:02.48lardmanI have ipaq-sleep working (at least it appears to do so)
21:03.35lardmando you iPAQ users no find it annoying that once the backlight has turned off, it can't come back unless you suspend then resume (or is it not actually working)?
21:04.26pb_that sounds like a bug.  it certainly shouldn't behave that way.
21:04.38lardmanpb_: do you have an iPAQ?
21:04.41*** join/#gpe skopii (~john@c-67-167-215-228.hsd1.il.comcast.net)
21:04.42pb_that said, on the ipaq you can manually toggle the backlight by holding down the power button.  Does that not work on the zaurus?
21:04.57lardmanNot sure, I've never tried it
21:05.04pb_yes, I do have an ipaq
21:05.21lardmanWhat happens with it then if you leave it alone?
21:05.41pb_I don't have a recent Familiar image on it at the moment.
21:05.45lardmanOn my Zaurus, the bl would stay on 50% (the default) until it suspended
21:06.10lardmanwhich is fairly wasteful if the suspend is set at 10 min (the default in ipaq-sleep)
21:06.15pb_The intended behaviour, and I'm pretty sure the way it used to work, is that the backlight would go off a little while before it suspends.
21:06.29pb_It might well be that it doesn't know how to drive the Z backlight, though.
21:07.03lardmanI've ported /usr/bin/bl to work for the Zaurus
21:07.15lardmanport is a bit of a strong work actually
21:07.51lardmanThe wierd thing I found was that once the backlight dimming had occured, it wasn't possible to get it to come back without suspending then resuming
21:08.43lardmanI'd prefer to go more like opie - have a fairly fast decline in the bl brightness, with more than two levels
21:09.15lardmanbut I don't know why it doesn't come back to the original level when I tap the screen

21:31.15lardmanin fact it wouldn't be recognised by any other app
21:33.01lardmanDoes the X server allow the (raw?) keyresses to be intercepted?
21:33.35arielis this correct? MACHINE = "h3600"
21:34.38lardmanThere are conf files which corresond to the machine setting in openembedded/<something> (but not packages)
21:34.59lardmanopenembedded/conf perhaps or maybe machine, I can't remember off the top of my head
21:35.00arielwhat does that mean?
21:35.14lardmansee if there's a conf file which is called h3600.conf
21:35.19arielyes
21:35.24arielon machines/
21:35.35lardmanin that case, yes, it is a valid target
21:36.00arielI think i have everything set up
21:36.30lardmancross fingers and run bitbake :)
21:37.53arielin what directory I run bitbake?
21:38.05ariel.../oe/openembedded?
21:38.35reenooin a separate build directory
21:39.20reenoothat's also where your conf/local.conf should be
21:40.08lardmanyou already said you had /home/ariel/oe/build - in there
21:40.16arielah yep
21:41.13arielariel@paula:~/oe/build $ bitbake gpe-image

21:43.20lardmansomething to do with your pythin include paths?
21:43.30lardmans/pythin/python
21:44.05lardmanPersonally I run bitbake without installing it (which for you would be from /home/ariel/bitbake/)
21:44.35lardmangood luck, I'm off to bed
21:44.37lardmannight all
21:44.40arielthank you
21:44.45reenoo'night lardman
21:48.23reenooariel: like lardman said you'd be best off with a current svn checkout of bitbake in /home/ariel/oe/bitbake and /home/ariel/oe/bitbake/bin in PATH (export PATH=/home/ariel/oe/bitbake/bin:$PATH)
21:54.24arielits working now
21:54.29ariel:>
21:54.46arielariel@paula:~/oe/build $ bitbake gpe-image
