00:18.27psokolovsky_rpodgorny, thanks, fixed.
00:19.47goxboxlivehi psok
00:20.30psokolovsky_hi
00:20.48goxboxliveHaven you managed to compile Qtopia yet?
00:21.15psokolovsky_goxboxlive, i didn't try, nor I'm going to ;-)
00:21.35goxboxlivereally
00:21.52goxboxlivewhy?  thought you where a Opie fan
00:22.05psokolovsky_sure - why bother? hrw will add it to OE soon, and it will compile for everyone ;-)
00:22.26psokolovsky_well, I'm mostly a Linux-PDA fan ;-)
00:22.54goxboxliveI c. Really looking forward to that,. I have compiled it, but havent managed to start it yet.
00:23.46goxboxliveDo you think Opie   will be removed after OpieII is added?
00:24.19psokolovsky_goxboxlive, I'm really glad that qtopia4 comes with basic apps to bootstrap opie2 with, but I don't really think opie2 will reach level of opie usubility in the nearest half-year ;-I
00:24.45goxboxliveI guess you right
00:24.47psokolovsky_goxboxlive, sure, but opie2 won't be added that soon ;-). there's no opie2 so far, only qtopia4 ;-)
00:24.55goxboxliveNeither openmoko i guess
00:25.17goxboxliveI c
00:40.06ljpthats because of a svn import error with the database
00:41.59ljpi do have a few patches and stuff waiting..
00:42.43ljpif I dont get it resolved soon, opieII will go at handhelds.org
00:51.48Kevin2Hi
01:02.11goxboxliveljp i c
01:03.37goxboxliveljp: Where should the files "runqpe" and "getpaths.sh" be placed? Or doesnt it mather where they are. For now i have them in my /home/root directory. ALso tried /opt/Qtopia/ but it didnt help.
01:04.37ljpfor on a device?
01:04.57ljpon a device, I just write my own little script
01:05.17goxboxliveok
01:06.20goxboxliveso it is basicly only needed to run /opt/Qtopia/bin/qpe, and not the provided ones in the /Qtopie-src-4.2.0/script folder?
01:06.59goxboxlivecould you pastebin your script?
01:09.13ljphmm. ya, url?

16:23.16jjazzmfroes: If you want it out of the box, take a look at Qtopia's greenphone and the openmoko.

16:26.22mfroesjjazz: i dont want pobile phones
16:26.34mfroesi want pdas
16:27.10mfroeslike nokia 770 or sharp zaurus
16:27.30jjazzmfroes: The 770 lacks a phone.  And it's not a PDA.  It's a web-browsing tablet.
16:28.22jjazzmfroes: Lots of people like the zaurus, though.  It's pretty close to what you want.
16:28.32mfroesnot really ... 770 has office suit and stuff i thing
16:28.34mfroesthink
16:29.14mfroesbut it doesnt have the GSM interface to access internet
16:29.24jjazzmfroes: Sure, it does more than just web browsing.  But it's not intended to be a pocket PDA device.  Nobody I know who has one uses it that way, which kinda says to me it's not suited for that purpose.
16:29.51mfroesjjazz: i've seen pepper .. but it's kinda big
16:30.36jjazzmfroes: I've never seen one.  The 770 is a bit large too.  Great screen, but not really pocket-sized unless you're wearing cargo pants.
16:31.27mfroessony used to have clie ux-50 .. but it was discontinued
16:31.27jjazzmfroes: I like the Universal.  Only seen one in person once, but it seemed to be a great device.
16:32.28mfroesuniversal ?
16:32.45jjazzmfroes: The htc universal.  It got sold under a bunch of other brand names.

16:34.25mfroesjjazz: ohh it's th e Qtek 9000 .. i've seen one of those.. but it's kinda expensive
16:35.23jjazzmfroes: Ebay is your friend.  And, yes, it's spendy, but that's because it has a lot of features (i.e. a keyboard).
16:35.40jjazzmfroes: If you can get one cheap on ebay, it starts to look more reasonable.
16:36.26jjazzmfroes: It's possible that in Europe (I'm in America), they can be had at discount from network operators, but Ebay is probably cheaper than that.
16:37.10mfroeshumm im a brazillian  .. we dont have ebay here
16:37.17cr2pH5: hi. have you found the vpen ?
16:37.29mfroeswe have something like it .. but it's not that cheap
16:40.12cr2Bluenagel is not going to boot from SD, unless the mmc_get_ro() will be done right.
16:41.07jjazzmfroes: Why can't you use America's ebay.com?
16:43.43mfroesjjazz: the products wont get into the country .. in brasil we can only import new stuff, with a bill of sale and pay 80% importation tax.
16:44.04mfroesif it's not new, it gets confiscated
16:44.20jjazzmfroes: Wow.  I didn't know that.  Why only new stuff?
16:44.29mfroesjjazz: yes
16:44.31mfroes:(
16:44.37pH5cr2: no
16:44.41pH5cr2: I'm confused
16:44.44Fossifrom a provider, with a contract, my prophet was 70 euros
16:45.31pH5the flash routines in nk.exe switch an egpio - but the same egpio is switched in wavedev.dll for handsfree configuration ?!
16:46.09pH5also, I don't get why a cpld egpio would be used to enable Vpp to the pxa272 stacked flash
16:47.16pH5I just tried to set that egpio in the mtd map, but still erase fails. Maybe I have to unlock the flash like hx4700, maybe vpp enable is wrong, maybe both.
16:48.12cr2pH5: on some devices the vpp is on an obscure asic3 pin.
16:51.26mfroesis there a linux based palm with wi-fi and bluetooth like sharp SL-C3200 or SL-C3100 ???? i think i'm gonna have to connect by bluetooth cel phone .. and i didnt want that. ...

17:48.10cr2goxboxlive: where i can download it ?
17:50.05cr2hehehe. one more candidate for a linux phone :) http://www.teleclick.ca/2006/12/apple-iphone-linksys-beats-them-to-it/
17:51.02goxboxlivedownload from gnulinuxbiz (maybe you should bookmark that page ) :-)
17:51.06cr2The device would not be revolutionary: manufactured by HTC, a Taiwanese firm specialising in smart phones and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), it might have a screen similar to a video iPod.
17:51.19cr2ok.
18:00.30cr2goxboxlive: downloaded.
18:00.40goxboxliveok
18:02.57goxboxlivecr2: Let me know if you managed to boot it. In the /home/root/files folder i have aplied libstdc++.. You have to install it before you even try to start qpe
18:39.12rpodgornycr2: 2 questions: the mmc_get_ro is asic-specific, not card-specific so when I modify it to work in my case, won't other cards stop working?; why can't the kernel mount root in ro mode? i thought it's quite common to mount ro and remount rw later...
18:39.37rpodgorny...but maybe i got it all wrong :-(
18:49.58pH5rpodgorny: mmc_get_ro is just a function that tells the mmc subsystem the state of the sd write protoect gpio, so that the mmc subsystem knows the card is write protected and doesn't try to send write commands to the card.
18:50.06pH5the kernel can mount root in ro mode
18:52.03rpodgornyso if this very piece of code is working for someone, any of my possible modifications would break it, right?
19:00.22pH5rpodgorny: right. but you could force-return 0 just for testing. or try adding ro to the kernel cmdline.
19:00.43pH5rpodgorny: I don't understand why that would help, though. I always thought asic3_mmc works the same on all asic3 devices.

19:29.10pH5which only the universal has as far as I know
19:29.14pH5--> ntp
19:35.46rpodgornywell the "device info" on windows reports "96MB RAM" but the "mem=128M" was mentioned on the hh.org wiki to be used when executing haret from wm5
19:38.33pH5nice. I wasn't aware the ba had so much RAM.
19:40.01cr2pH5: ba and himalaya have 128MB RAM. micro$oft didn't force device manufacturers to use 64MB at that time ;)
19:40.15pH5those were the days..
19:40.26rpodgornythe problem is i don't really understand how windows calls all this memory (there's "flash" and "storage" and "ramdisk" and whatever.. :-( )
19:40.47pH5rpodgorny: when you have linux running, things will be finally clear :)
19:41.05cr2rpodgorny: wince5 underreports the RAM size.
19:41.19rpodgornyyeah, that's where i'm trying to get :-)
19:41.59rpodgornythe other gauge says: memory -> storage: 60.78MB, program: 77.11MB :-(

19:43.52pH5rpodgorny: I guess that is supposed to be the remaining free memory of flash and ram, respectively
19:46.16rpodgornyin pocket pc 2003 the ram was somehow divided between programs and storage but wm5 seem to be different (the data even survive hard-reset). i'm sick of all this stuff being hidden from user... :-(
19:47.30rpodgornybut now that the kernel boots i hope to do some experiments to make all the peripherals run and wipe windows completely (i know it's a long way to go but the feeling... :-))
20:24.44goxboxlivecr2 are you around?
20:26.57pH5Hm.. 98% battery after 12 hours of suspend. I wish I had the patience to try to suspend it for a few days.
