10:15:07Eagle_Xyesterday i installed on my 3850 famillar 2.4.17.rmk4.hh2. system boots and i was able to install a basic qtopia. .....
10:15:19Eagle_X... but i did something wrong: ...
10:15:56Eagle_Xi did no ipkg postinstall cause i have no internet on the ipaq ....
10:16:03debuggerdid you do anything with the bootloader?
10:16:35debuggerthat does not seem to be a problem
10:16:46Eagle_Xthe qtipia ipkg package was unable to install cause it cant find a installed ipkg package. ....
10:17:31Eagle_XBootloadder is ok - but: i tried now to redoo the entire familar installation (load root) ....
10:17:41debuggerok so you need to do ipkg info pkg_name
10:17:47Eagle_X... and the bootloader doesnt start the download
10:18:02Eagle_Xi try
10:18:12debuggerbootloader version?
10:18:40Eagle_Xbootloader 2.18.01

10:19:01Eagle_X"ipkg info ipkg" aswers nothing
10:19:57Eagle_XIm asuming somthing is wrong with the ipkg installation. if i do a "ipkg list" i get a emty list
10:20:08debuggerno ipkg info filename to qtopia pkg
10:20:20debuggershit seems your ipkg db is gone
10:20:28Eagle_Xnever had one
10:20:38debuggerhow come
10:21:11Eagle_Xbtw: in the beginning i had to rename the /etc/ipkg.conf-generic to ipkg.conf
10:21:36Eagle_Xbut Im asuming, there was preinstalled packages like ipkg itself
10:22:29debuggeryes
10:23:25Eagle_XI tried to redoo the entire install process (except bootloader) to have a blanc root image but NOW the bootloader doesnt start the zmodem trandfer (like yewsterday)
10:23:47debuggerits xmodem
10:24:03Eagle_Xi know - and it worked yesterday
10:24:31Eagle_Xi start a "load root" and then i start the transfer in hyperterminal and this times out
10:25:03debuggerjust to check 115200 8 N 1 no control
10:25:04Eagle_Xq: is there some flash areas protected ??
10:25:30Eagle_Xcom settings work (i have console and commandline acess
10:26:24debuggerif it times out, its nothing with flash protection
10:26:31Eagle_Xok
10:26:43debuggerflashing starts after successful download
10:28:50Eagle_XAAAAARG! no zmodem selected :[ - my fault.
10:29:23debuggerusing wrong protocol :(
11:58:56Eagle_Xdebugger: i installed a fresh familar and renamed the ipkg.conf. if i do a "ipkg list" i get a message like ...
11:59:44Eagle_X"file not found: /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/familar-unstable
12:00:46Eagle_Xoops - debugger already gone :-|

12:12:33Eagle_Xbanshee: doesnt work because i have no internet conection.
12:12:54bansheeno usbnet or anything on it?
12:13:52Eagle_Xbanshee: it seems something is wron with ipkg's package list. but i dont know enything about ipkg's file structures.
12:14:21bansheeipkg is just a shells cript
12:14:23bansheescript
12:14:58bansheeneed the packages file from the feed your going to use
12:15:04Eagle_Xbanshee: only serial connection with my laptop :-(
12:15:39bansheejust minicom, no slip or ppp?
12:16:08debuggermy ipaq lacks a params parition :( how to send parameters then?
12:16:51Eagle_Xbanshee: no nothing
12:17:12bansheedebugger: ? ask in #handhelds.org i just use the damn thing, haven't had chance to setup a toolchain or anything cept for making wallpaper for icewm on it since classes started this semester
12:17:33bansheeEagle_X: so you just have minicom access on it? no network connection from it at all?
12:17:38debuggerwell i only see a black screen
12:17:46Eagle_Xbanshee: yes
12:18:04bansheeEagle_X: hmmm, and you still need to install like task-complete and task-x?
12:19:01Eagle_Xbanshee: finally i want to use Qtopia and these guys say to install only the basic famillar. is this ok??
12:19:42banshee? just hard to install anything after the rootfs w/o some kind of network connection to it, even a slip connection would help
12:19:51Eagle_Xbanshee: Im able to download all needed packages and store them in the /tmp folder this works BUT:
12:20:29Eagle_X..after "ipkg install"ing a package, "ipkg list" doesnt show me the package.
12:22:53bansheehmm got me stumpted
12:23:49Eagle_Xi need to fix this before i start installing any aditional packages.

20:48:30ThEnOidHello everybody
21:45:28ThEnOidls
21:45:30ThEnOidahh!
21:46:42ThEnOidwho
21:46:44ThEnOidahh!
21:47:38ThEnOidI've got an H3850... What are the chances of me screwing up a linux install and turning it into a brick?
21:51:14ThEnOidhalo?
21:53:11sjohnsonThEnOid: The 38xx's aren't fullow supported in Linux yet. I would advse against loading linx at this time.
21:53:39ThEnOidYeah, that was my outlook on it. I think I'll buy a 3650 to dedicate to linux.
21:53:50ThEnOidGonna do some wardriving... look for some AP's in my area.
21:54:15ThEnOidCouple on ebay for pretty cheap right now.. 150 bucks for one with a CF adapter.
21:54:18ThEnOidNot bad at all.
21:55:47sjohnsonThEnOid: Try a 37xx. It has 32M of flash and 64MB. It's the same hardware as the 36xx's
22:07:21ThEnOidOkay.. but the 3700 is also a bit more expensive. isn't it?
23:03:14bipolar_awayis away: I'm not here... Really....
