00:00:08 | em1ssnuke | embedded vs. workstation |
00:00:25 | Aelfweld | yes but writing complicated code in asm sucks trust me |
00:00:27 | Fastolfe | nasa: my latest project (for fun) is a relay computer with only one instruction and one addressing mode |
00:00:29 | Fastolfe | :) |
00:00:34 | Fastolfe | it works :) |
00:01:04 | file | Futurama is on!!! |
00:01:30 | Fastolfe | Futurama ? |
00:01:32 | file | yes |
00:01:35 | nasa | So fastolfe, how long did it take to program |
00:01:36 | file | cartoon, really nice |
00:01:48 | Fastolfe | nasa: the relay machine ? |
00:01:59 | nasa | yeah |
00:02:29 | Fastolfe | nasa: it only has 200 words of memory because relays are expensive, so it's limited to small test programs for now. I do have a prime number generator running |
00:02:42 | Fastolfe | nasa: I want to interface DRAM somehow to port Linux to it :) |
00:02:59 | Fastolfe | I calculated that it would takes over a month to boot up :) |
00:03:37 | nasa | Ok, you are WAY to smart (and you must not have a wife) |
00:03:40 | Cha0s_AWAY | Does anyone know were can I buy the zaurus from outside the US and UK? the oficial sharp websites dont export products... :\ thx |
00:04:08 | Fastolfe | nasa: that's true, I don't have a wife :) as for being smart, remember, it's a *relay* computer :) |
00:04:15 | file | is in Canada |
00:04:23 | Cha0s | is back after 2 d 6 h 2 m 30 s |
00:04:27 | Fastolfe | is in holyland - Utah |
00:05:04 | Fastolfe | Cha0s: where are you ? |
00:05:29 | em1ssnuke | fast_: I attempted ftp and keep getting an error on connectin to the Z |
00:05:50 | Fastolfe | em1ssnuke: you need to ftp from the Z to the PC |
00:06:00 | file | sighs |
00:06:02 | Cha0s | portugal |
00:06:06 | Fastolfe | ok |
00:06:23 | Fastolfe | do you know someone in the UK ? |
00:07:11 | file | don't |
00:07:14 | Cha0s | no... thats the problem . And I cant use my CC in the website since it was originated outside the UK |
00:07:21 | Fastolfe | hmm |
00:07:24 | Twiun | Who needs someone in the uk? |
00:07:37 | em1ssnuke | Ah ... then I can't use XP then can I |
00:07:59 | file | why would you want to use XP? It's a memory sucker-upper |
00:08:02 | Fastolfe | Twiun: are you in the uk ? |
00:08:19 | Twiun | Fastolfe: Yeah, london |
00:08:28 | Fastolfe | aah good ole blightey |
00:08:37 | em1ssnuke | yea, the thought of upgrading my kernel on SuSE was a secondary option ... now primary option |
00:08:38 | Fastolfe | cha0s needs someone to ship him a Z |
00:08:53 | Fastolfe | because sharp won't ship to portugal |
00:09:00 | Cha0s | yup.... :\ |
00:09:09 | file | takes Fastolfe's Zaurus |
00:09:14 | Twiun | They still haven't sorted out their european distribution? |
00:09:15 | Fastolfe | HEY |
00:09:16 | Fastolfe | :) |
00:09:32 | file | I'll just stick to my Philips Nino and VTech Helio |
00:09:42 | Fastolfe | Twiun: is that what it is ? I thought maybe they didn't want to ship outside US/UK |
00:09:58 | Fastolfe | file: you can have my Palm III |
00:10:01 | Cha0s | nopes ... and to make things worse the portuguese sharp doesnt import sharp palms... |
00:10:10 | file | Fastolfe: can I? really? :) |
00:10:21 | Fastolfe | hands it over to file |
00:10:22 | Twiun | Fastolfe: If they're just intending this for US/UK, there's going to be loads of complaints ;-) |
00:10:30 | Fastolfe | Twiun: yeah |
00:10:35 | file | sends Fastolfe the bill for shipping :p |
00:10:46 | Fastolfe | I already have my buddies in France pissing the living hell out of me to ship them a Z |
00:11:04 | file | can us Canadians get a Zaurus? |
00:11:07 | Fastolfe | file: that'll be around $100 :) |
00:11:19 | Twiun | If they can start having a good go at Jason, the load will eventually make something happen |
00:11:20 | em1ssnuke | What the least expensive one purchased so far? |
00:11:26 | Fastolfe | file: depends, if you're in Quebec, you've been punished :) |
00:11:26 | em1ssnuke | what's |
00:11:26 | file | $100 for? |
00:11:35 | file | for? |
00:11:38 | em1ssnuke | Z |
00:11:42 | file | isn't in Quebec |
00:11:43 | Fastolfe | file: my small fee for shipping you my PalmIII. |
00:11:44 | | JasonNJ was last seen on #zaurus 2 hours, 55 minutes and 50 seconds ago, saying: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3989618385.html [Sun Feb 10 21:15:54 2002] |
00:11:44 | Twiun | ibot seen JasonNJ |
00:11:58 | Twiun | sighs |
00:12:10 | Fastolfe | file: US$100 ain't much, it's only CA$5000000 |
00:12:12 | Cha0s | maybe theres another online storeout there were I could buy? instead of the oficial sharp website? |
00:12:18 | file | exactly |
00:12:22 | Twiun | I can't believe he's actually allowed a life off this channel ;-) |
00:12:46 | Fastolfe | Twiun: he's probably lurking |
00:12:48 | Fastolfe | :) |
00:13:04 | Twiun | Cha0s: I'm sure there's bound to be a few on eBay by now |
00:13:11 | Fastolfe | Cha0s: ebay |
00:13:12 | Fastolfe | oops |
00:13:13 | Fastolfe | :) |
00:13:17 | Twiun | Hehe |
00:13:26 | em1ssnuke | Well off to upgrading my SuSE dist |
00:13:30 | Twiun | Good luck |
00:13:33 | Fastolfe | heh |
00:13:43 | Fastolfe | Chapeau Rouge pisses me off today |
00:13:54 | roge99 | didnt someone post to the mailing list about selling theirs |
00:14:01 | em1ssnuke | thanks, bye |
00:14:03 | Twiun | This doesn't really solve my problem though... how do I get an accurate memory usage value for a prog? |
00:14:06 | Twiun | on the Z that is |
00:14:16 | Cha0s | yup ... I know but I wanted a new one. if you know what I mean... |
00:14:24 | Twiun | nods |
00:14:31 | file | crys |
00:14:35 | file | I want a Zaurus!!!!!!!!! |
00:14:36 | Cha0s | probably I'll have to wait. |
00:14:41 | Fastolfe | funny when people want to pay good money to corps and corps don't want to take it :) |
00:15:40 | file | lala |
00:15:45 | dragorn | Twiun: What's wrong with the one in info, or simply running "free" at the command line? |
00:16:16 | Fastolfe | I've got a question for you guys : suppose someone set up a server with VNC connections to real Zaurii and you didn't have a Zaurus but wanted to develop for it, would you pay a monthly fee for the service ? |
00:16:24 | Twiun | dragorn: With the linux vm reclaiming memory whenever it feels like it, it's not good enough to compare between program versions |
00:16:26 | file | hrm, /proc/meminfo should display memory info shouldn't it? |
00:16:37 | Twiun | not for a particular prog though |
00:17:04 | Twiun | "/proc/meminfo is for overall mem stats" |
00:17:09 | Fastolfe | find a prog's pid and do cat /proc/<pid>/status |
00:17:12 | Twiun | grumbles at kvirc |
00:17:16 | file | uh huh |
00:17:41 | dragorn | Twiun: What do you mean by "reclaiming"? ps, and proc/pid/ will show you individual stats |
00:18:29 | Twiun | dragorn: I meant that for meminfo... I'm looking into the proc/pid/status thing now |
00:19:30 | Twiun | Fastolfe: So in status, it'll be VmSize? |
00:19:30 | dragorn | Twiun: Linux'll play games with cache memory, but running free will show you the overall free, cached, and how much is used minus the cache, but /proc/pid/ might be more what you want |
00:19:49 | Twiun | dragorn: *nod* |
00:20:00 | Fastolfe | /proc/<pid>/status will show you detailed mem usage for that pid |
00:20:42 | Twiun | Yeah, I've got that far... now out of all the Vm entries... VmSize is the largest - am I right in assuming that's the size of it's memory usage? |
00:20:42 | Fastolfe | Twiun: not sure |
00:20:55 | Fastolfe | lemme check |
00:21:26 | Fastolfe | yeah |
00:22:01 | Fastolfe | it's the total amount of mmemory taken, bss, text, data and all |
00:22:10 | Twiun | Cool, I can now see if I've managed to tighten my memory usage |
00:22:23 | Fastolfe | yep, that's what it's for, and to detect memory leaks |
00:22:26 | whardier | augh |
00:22:29 | whardier | #netbsd lacks |
00:22:50 | Fastolfe | bsd is dying, Billy G. told me so |
00:22:53 | Fastolfe | must be true |
00:23:00 | whardier | heh |
00:23:01 | whardier | well |
00:23:13 | whardier | mips support in linux is dying.. for the cobolt hardware |
00:23:18 | Fastolfe | yeah |
00:23:33 | whardier | its not in netbsd |
00:23:37 | whardier | its alive |
00:23:38 | whardier | and kickin |
00:23:44 | whardier | just not very kickin |
00:23:48 | Fastolfe | whardier: I was just kiddin |
00:25:49 | whardier | I know |
00:28:22 | Fastolfe | grr the redhat installer crashed on my box |
00:28:29 | Fastolfe | Computers suck man |
00:31:55 | whardier | redhat sucks man |
00:32:25 | treke | redhats installer has always been a bit unstable |
00:37:36 | Twiun | swears at Insigna - who's the *&^%(*£&$ who thought that leaving out png+jar support was a good idea???? |
00:38:55 | Twiun | What's Jason's email addy at sharp? |
00:43:47 | newbie | hi, im having some problems patching my kernel to support ether. over USB |
00:44:02 | newbie | ah, damn, im newbie |
00:45:15 | dragorn | patch -p1 < CTEther.patch (or whatever it's called)... make menuconfig, usb, network devices, turn on CDETher, then make modules, make modules_install |
00:45:22 | w00tw00t | p1? |
00:45:27 | w00tw00t | hm...imusing p0 |
00:45:37 | w00tw00t | ok |
00:45:46 | dragorn | probably p1 |
00:45:48 | w00tw00t | aight |
00:45:48 | dragorn | most things |
00:45:51 | w00tw00t | ok |
00:45:54 | dragorn | try patch --dry-run |
00:45:58 | dragorn | -pblah < file |
00:45:59 | w00tw00t | hmm |
00:46:00 | w00tw00t | ok |
00:46:03 | dragorn | that'll tell you if the patch works |
00:46:08 | w00tw00t | just a sec |
00:46:25 | dragorn | if --dry-run doesn't fail, then do it without the dry run |
00:48:48 | w00tw00t | do i do patch --dry-run with the < Zaurus-ethernet-over-usb.patch? |
00:49:10 | dragorn | yes |
00:49:30 | w00tw00t | cant find file to patch at input line 3 |
00:49:42 | dragorn | patch --dry-run -p0 < Zaurus.... or patch --dry-run -p1 < Zaurus... If dry run succeeds, then you can do it without dry run |
00:49:51 | w00tw00t | ok |
00:50:16 | roge99 | w00t what dir are you in while tring to patch the kernel |
00:50:19 | dragorn | you doing this from your linux source dir? I always run patches from within /usr/src/linux |
00:50:27 | w00tw00t | yeah |
00:50:31 | w00tw00t | actually |
00:50:35 | w00tw00t | im in /usr/src |
00:50:39 | w00tw00t | not /usr/src/linux |
00:50:40 | roge99 | from /usr/src use p0 |
00:50:44 | w00tw00t | ah |
00:50:52 | w00tw00t | hehe |
00:51:08 | w00tw00t | im just following the directions i found by Ruault |
00:51:55 | w00tw00t | 5 hunks are failing |
00:52:09 | roge99 | what is your kernel version |
00:52:19 | w00tw00t | 2.4.3 |
00:52:29 | w00tw00t | -20 |
00:52:39 | dragorn | yow. that'd be an issue. Theres been a fair amount of usb change in the last 14 kernel releases. |
00:52:41 | roge99 | hmm the patch says 2.4.11 or greater i think |
00:53:01 | w00tw00t | hehe |
00:53:15 | w00tw00t | isnt 2.4.3 greater than 2.4.11, or am i on crack? |
00:53:21 | dragorn | No. |
00:53:22 | Fastolfe | you're on crack :) |
00:53:24 | dragorn | it's not 2.4.1.1 |
00:53:25 | w00tw00t | damn |
00:53:32 | dragorn | it's 2.4.11, as in, "one more than ten" |
00:53:33 | Fastolfe | 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 |
00:53:38 | dragorn | but don't use .11 |
00:53:39 | dragorn | ever |
00:53:44 | w00tw00t | hehe |
00:53:46 | dragorn | it's got filesystem-eating code |
00:53:57 | dragorn | also don't use .15, it'll eat your fs on unmount |
00:54:05 | dragorn | if you're going to upgrade, go to .17 |
00:54:06 | Fastolfe | I think you need over 2.4.14 for the CDCEther patch to work |
00:54:18 | Fastolfe | of you need the standalone vindaci version |
00:54:32 | w00tw00t | is there a way to upgrade to 2.4.17 without changing all my settings? |
00:54:43 | dragorn | all your kernel config settings? |
00:54:43 | roge99 | sorry its greater than 2.4.14 |
00:54:44 | Aelfweld | the stand alone module on soruceforge workds on my redhat 7.1 system(2.4.9) but the new roms broke it |
00:54:50 | dragorn | just copy .config from your old source tree to the new one |
00:54:54 | Fastolfe | copy the .config in your current tree into the new tree and do "make oldconfig" |
00:55:01 | w00tw00t | ok |
00:55:16 | w00tw00t | hmmm....... |
00:55:21 | w00tw00t | how big is 2.4.17? |
00:55:25 | roge99 | w00tw00t: are you running redhat |
00:55:30 | w00tw00t | download size i mean |
00:55:33 | Fastolfe | w00t: just use the vindaci version |
00:55:43 | w00tw00t | :(...shamefully mandrake |
00:55:58 | w00tw00t | but w/o all the fruity-ness |
00:56:22 | w00tw00t | vindaci? |
00:57:02 | Fastolfe | http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=73146 |
00:57:21 | dragorn | rebuilds his laptop with the latest ingo scheduler, while he's thinking of it |
00:57:22 | Fastolfe | http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zaurus/zaurus-sl5000d-ethoverusb-011215b.tar.gz |
00:57:32 | Fastolfe | brb I want to catch the sunset |
00:57:52 | w00tw00t | hehe |
01:00:20 | dragorn | hmm, what do you think the chances of getting lirc working on the Z are... |
01:00:27 | dragorn | I never did it get it functional with my laptop |
01:02:14 | roge99 | dragorn: i dont think the ir port is strong enough to be much use as remote |
01:02:29 | dragorn | roge99: Maybe |
01:02:50 | dragorn | roge99: But the palm pilots worked excellently, and they have pretty piddling little IR ports as well |
01:02:58 | roge99 | hmm |
01:02:59 | dragorn | Not to say the IR hardware is the same or anything |
01:03:01 | dragorn | but it's worth the shot |
01:03:07 | roge99 | this is true |
01:03:15 | dragorn | I had my palm doing remote control for a good 25 feet on some devices |
01:03:33 | dragorn | couldn't negotiate a 2-way link over that distance, but it was more than enough to mimic a tv remote |
01:03:34 | roge99 | i know the agenda had 2 one for beaming and one highpower one |
01:03:58 | dragorn | will have to look into porting it and trying |
01:04:03 | dragorn | brb, new kernel time. |
01:04:03 | roge99 | i heard the range on these was under 2 feet |
01:04:20 | Twiun | From what I remember, the Z's IR is the weaker type, it's got a range of around 23cm |
01:05:02 | roge99 | Twiun: yea thats what i heard as well |
01:08:50 | roge99 | dragorn: so the new kernel was successful |
01:09:02 | dragorn | roge99: Sure |
01:09:09 | dragorn | roge99: Nothing unusual, just a newer ingo scheduler patch |
01:09:31 | dragorn | see if it stops zombieing mozilla now |
01:12:43 | dragorn | hmm, the ir port on the Z... is that just seen as a serial device? |
01:13:37 | Twiun | Yeah... although I think you missed my comment - I remember seeing that on the Z, the IR is the weaker version, with a range of ~23cm |
01:13:43 | dragorn | nods |
01:13:44 | dragorn | I saw it |
01:13:47 | dragorn | I just still want to try |
01:13:53 | Twiun | That's cool |
01:14:06 | dragorn | worst that happens is I waste an hour or two |
01:14:19 | dragorn | big deal. ;P Not doing anything but nursing the flu anyhow |
01:14:32 | Twiun | Bah, I wish I had that |
01:14:36 | roge99 | there is an ir detector for palms you could test range with that if you have a palm |
01:14:38 | Twiun | Work's boring atm |
01:14:51 | dragorn | roge99: I do, and i have the software |
01:15:11 | roge99 | simple test before wasting time |
01:15:20 | dragorn | true |
01:15:33 | dragorn | should be able to just ifup the irda device and ping something on that subnet |
01:18:02 | dragorn | hmm that didn't work. |
01:19:28 | nasa | Ah.., now that my stomach's full |
01:20:10 | nasa | Anyone know -- can the Z browse the net via a windows 98 box? |
01:20:46 | dragorn | if you set up ICS, yes, it should be able to |
01:21:13 | nasa | ah, don't mind my ignorance -- what is ICS? |
01:22:04 | dragorn | internet connection sharing |
01:22:10 | dragorn | windows network masquerader |
01:22:11 | nasa | oh |
01:22:15 | whardier | wow |
01:22:16 | dragorn | and that's all I know about it, that it exists. |
01:22:20 | whardier | netbsd is actually installing |
01:22:20 | whardier | sorta |
01:22:46 | dragorn | hmm, it doesn't seem to do anything over IR |
01:22:55 | dragorn | even the beam isn't registering as IR traffic |
01:23:06 | dragorn | maybe the palm is feeling sick today |
01:23:50 | dragorn | Twiun: Oh, and no, you don't wish you had this, no matter how boring your job is, i've been sick since the beginning of linuxworld |
01:23:59 | nasa | ok, off to find out more |
01:24:00 | nasa | cya |
01:24:04 | dragorn | good luck |
01:24:49 | roge99 | dragorn: yea the flu sucks it ran through here a couple weeks ago |
01:25:27 | dragorn | roge99: Yeah, it's hitting our IT dept pretty bad |
01:25:39 | dragorn | doesn't know if he can take tomorrow off since so many other ppl are out |
01:26:12 | roge99 | dragorn: yea i didn't end up with it but the wife and kids were miserable |
01:27:41 | dragorn | nods |
01:27:51 | dragorn | You were definitely lucky to miss this one |
01:28:17 | roge99 | dragorn: yea -- sorry to hear you weren't as lucky |
01:28:43 | dragorn | shrugs.. "Eh, i'll live. Just not fun." |
01:28:51 | dragorn | Gives me more time to code, if I can think straight |
01:29:42 | Fastolfe | bloody hell, there's no doc on the SIR/FIR IR controller on the SA1110 anywhere |
01:30:10 | roge99 | dragorn: yea but coding between vomit attacks cant be to productive |
01:30:57 | dragorn | roge99: I've avoided that by not eating... i've mostly got the head cold from hell and a lot of coughing |
01:31:22 | roge99 | ohhh then your luck you didn't get this one |
01:31:36 | Fastolfe | roge99: don't cough while eating, that's the trick |
01:31:42 | roge99 | my wife threwup everything but her liver |
01:32:48 | dragorn | My stomach is usually really touchy anyhow so i've been on soup and toast for a month, about what this bug'll tolerate anyhow, so I'm mostly good. |
02:01:24 | nasa | Back again |
02:01:45 | nasa | Got a question/observation to ask |
02:02:25 | nasa | Just tried to setup browsing the web with the Z under windows and got the same kind of response as I did under linux |
02:32:38 | Mallory | whee! |
02:47:23 | []N-Flux | wh00p |
02:48:04 | finkployd | w00t |
02:49:05 | ][N-Flux | well, ,u clie is on ebay now |
02:49:16 | ][N-Flux | u =my |
02:50:37 | ][N-Flux | palm go bye bye ;) |
02:50:41 | NeoTron | heh |
02:51:56 | ][N-Flux | hey NeoTron |
02:52:03 | NeoTron | heya |
02:52:12 | ][N-Flux | get that source yet? |
02:52:18 | NeoTron | nope |
02:52:20 | NeoTron | next week I guess |
02:52:44 | Fastolfe | anybody runs CDCEther and the 1.02 net_fd.o on the 1.10 or 1.11 ROM who could try something for me ? |
02:52:50 | ][N-Flux | kewl |
02:59:54 | ljp | Fastolfe: I do... |
03:00:19 | Fastolfe | oops back |
03:00:57 | Fastolfe | ljp: could you try to connect to your linux box, run the VNC server, connect to it from a linux VNC client and see if the client gets kicked after a little while ? |
03:02:18 | ljp | sure: I think I remember something weird happening like that... |
03:02:52 | Mallory | Fast: Yeah, I said that in here the other day but you weren't around. |
03:02:58 | Fastolfe | ljp: thanks. |
03:03:04 | Mallory | I don't have my cradle here (it's at home), but I can verify that it happens. |
03:03:09 | Fastolfe | Mallory: oh sorry I must've missed it |
03:03:14 | Mallory | No errors of any kind you just get booted. |
03:03:21 | Mallory | Don't apologize, like I said, you weren't here. :) |
03:03:33 | Mallory | (tested against 0.0.6) |
03:03:38 | Fastolfe | I think this is packet corruption from the CDCEther driver / net_fd.o module combo |
03:03:53 | Mallory | Yeah, my initial reaction was to put the blame on the module and not on VNC. |
03:04:05 | ljp | you want me to let it sit or do stuff? |
03:04:14 | Fastolfe | well, it only seems to happen with that driver combo, and only on linux |
03:04:27 | Fastolfe | ljp: let it sit for a minute, then mouse the mouse inside the display a bit |
03:04:33 | Fastolfe | ljp: that should get it |
03:04:51 | ljp | yepp- |
03:04:56 | Fastolfe | aaw crap |
03:04:59 | ljp | *boink* |
03:05:20 | Fastolfe | This whole CDCEther hack is wrong |
03:05:25 | Fastolfe | hey BZF |
03:06:34 | Fastolfe | so now the question is : should I spend time figuring out what happens in the server and armor it against the corrupted packets, or try to fix the CDCEther driver again ? :) |
03:08:59 | ljp | make it just exactly perfect! :D |
03:09:20 | Fastolfe | lol |
03:09:22 | Fastolfe | k |
03:09:23 | Fastolfe | :) |
03:09:37 | dragorn | I'd do both |
03:09:39 | dragorn | ;) |
03:10:02 | Fastolfe | looks around for some help ... |
03:10:03 | Fastolfe | .. |
03:10:06 | Fastolfe | :) |
03:10:23 | dragorn | sneezes. |
03:10:55 | Fastolfe | ljp: do you know if this happens with OZ too ? |
03:12:23 | ljp | I dunno |
03:12:27 | Fastolfe | k |
03:19:40 | Fastolfe | hmm |
03:19:46 | Fastolfe | it only happens with mouse events |
03:25:00 | scanline | is back (gone 07:36:16) |
03:29:30 | dkl_z | do people prefer usbserial or cdcether? |
03:30:25 | dkl_z | ihavent had much luck with the ether module but the serial optionworks well |
03:45:08 | whardier | quit smopking |
03:45:11 | whardier | now I drink a pack a day |
03:46:24 | ljp | drink a pack of cigarettes a day? |
03:46:35 | Fastolfe | twas humour |
03:46:44 | tux_mike | whardier: a 6-pack? |
03:46:56 | whardier | actually |
03:47:05 | whardier | I have downed maybe 7 so far |
03:47:07 | whardier | with 2 more to go |
03:47:09 | whardier | of cider |
03:47:15 | whardier | 5% |
03:47:18 | tux_mike | would like some mikes |
03:47:21 | whardier | yeah |
03:47:24 | whardier | I would too |
03:47:25 | whardier | damnit |
03:47:31 | whardier | they had none in Alaska |
03:47:33 | whardier | :( |
03:47:36 | tux_mike | >< |
03:47:36 | whardier | no that I am back tho |
03:47:41 | whardier | I should go get some! |
03:48:02 | tux_mike | i need some money to get some |
03:48:44 | Fastolfe | wow |
03:48:53 | Fastolfe | the net_fd.o module leaks memory |
03:48:57 | tux_mike | how do i set qwidgets to unicode... i can't find any info in the docs. |
03:49:02 | Fastolfe | and corrupts packets |
03:49:02 | tux_mike | net floppy drive? :) |
03:49:13 | Fastolfe | the IP-over-USB thing |
03:49:18 | tux_mike | ah |
03:49:38 | whardier | Fastolfe : HAHAHAHA |
03:49:41 | whardier | <Fastolfe> the net_fd.o module leaks memory |
03:49:44 | whardier | I knew that ages ago |
03:50:17 | ljp | oh no... more malloc no free? |
03:50:18 | whardier | I just did not know how to fix it |
03:50:18 | Fastolfe | yes, but did you know the average age of cars in America is 6 years ? |
03:50:35 | whardier | *shocked* |
03:50:37 | whardier | I did not know that |
03:50:44 | whardier | I have an above average aged car |
03:50:51 | Fastolfe | ljp: I dunno what it is |
03:51:16 | Fastolfe | ljp: but it corrupts packets enough that the VNC server receives palette change requests and throws the client out |
03:51:21 | Fastolfe | ljp: that's the problem |
03:51:40 | whardier | with netbsd on this Qube |
03:51:48 | whardier | I can actually make it do things.. |
03:51:48 | Fastolfe | whardier: My car is above average aged too :) |
03:51:48 | whardier | heh |
03:51:55 | Fastolfe | do what ? |
03:51:57 | whardier | well |
03:52:01 | whardier | more than what it could have done |
03:52:10 | whardier | there is a fork of debian-mips for it |
03:52:10 | Fastolfe | like ... what ? |
03:52:13 | whardier | well |
03:52:20 | whardier | its a 250mhz processor |
03:52:27 | whardier | with a 10.2 gig HD in it |
03:52:33 | Fastolfe | ?????? |
03:52:35 | whardier | and I just added a linksys wdt-11 wpc-11 |
03:52:41 | whardier | so maybe some routing :) |
03:52:50 | whardier | the point of doing this is to ship it back to alaska |
03:52:55 | whardier | and have it replace a webramp firewall |
03:52:58 | whardier | that is stupid |
03:53:03 | Fastolfe | thinks whardier is on the wrong channel |
03:53:10 | whardier | netbsd will not listen |
03:53:14 | whardier | you guys will |
03:53:16 | whardier | :) |
03:53:32 | Fastolfe | too much cider man |
03:53:38 | whardier | did you see this |
03:53:40 | whardier | <whardier> with netbsd on this Qube |
03:53:45 | whardier | before I started the rant? |
03:53:47 | fiferboy | Has anyone tried the ROM on ZaurusZone that is like 1.11 with a CDCEther fix? |
03:54:09 | Fastolfe | fiferboy: I'm having a bleeding nose over it right now |
03:54:34 | fiferboy | Fastolfe: Does it work at all? |
03:54:57 | Fastolfe | it workish sort of kind of, leaks memory and forces you to reboot after a while |
03:55:30 | whardier | an unmonitored usage of leak |
03:55:38 | fiferboy | But it will sync with Linux? I just need to upload my program to it as I make changes... |
03:56:08 | Fastolfe | fiferboy: I guess if your program isn't too big, it'll make it thru before you're forced to reboot :) |
03:56:39 | fiferboy | Only a few hundred K at most. Does it need the unit rebooted, or your computer? |
03:56:47 | Fastolfe | the PDA |
03:57:30 | fiferboy | I can handle that. Only problem is, I have to boot into Windoze to transfer the file :-( |
03:58:20 | Fastolfe | my advice to you is to setup your win box as a samba share and copy your file to the network drive, then just use windoze to xfer it |
03:58:30 | Fastolfe | ooh, it's one machine with 2 OSes ? |
03:58:35 | Fastolfe | oops |
03:59:05 | fiferboy | Yeah, I almost have a seperate Linux box. I just need a processor and MB ;-) |
03:59:13 | Fastolfe | heh |
03:59:34 | whardier | anybody here BSDish? |
03:59:42 | fiferboy | Well, here goes nothing... |
04:00:12 | Fastolfe | whardier: naww, BSD smells like somebody's dead grandmother |
04:00:21 | whardier | haha |
04:00:23 | whardier | does it? |
04:00:26 | whardier | I haven't checked |
04:00:32 | Fastolfe | open the qube to check |
04:01:37 | whardier | hehe |
04:02:57 | Fastolfe | cdcether == large wet turd |
04:09:36 | whardier | HAHAHAHA |
04:09:41 | whardier | hugs Fastolfe |
04:10:03 | ljp | collie_ssp.c == large wet turd |
04:10:30 | whardier | ssp>? |
04:10:33 | whardier | whats that one? |
04:11:00 | ljp | drivers/sound/collie_ssp.c |
04:13:51 | whardier | nono |
04:13:53 | whardier | whats it do |
04:14:18 | ljp | its the Z's audio driver source |
04:14:24 | whardier | ahha |
04:14:33 | whardier | so basically we are all gonna be embeddix/sharp employees |
04:14:48 | whardier | my cat is giving me that "you don |
04:14:52 | whardier | t pet me enough" look |
04:17:24 | fiferboy | Yeah, syncing with Linux! |
04:19:01 | Fastolfe | ljp: yeah, the sound driver sucks pretty bad too |
04:19:22 | ljp | I'm finding all kinds of crap... |
04:19:29 | Fastolfe | heh, I told ya :) |
04:20:03 | Fastolfe | My app is so broken because of that damn driver |
04:20:57 | ljp | ya ioctl(mixerfd, SOUND_MIXER_READ_RECSRC, &recsrc) gives error |
04:21:13 | Fastolfe | do you want my code to setup the rec ? |
04:21:21 | Fastolfe | it's peculiar, took me hours to figure it out |
04:21:27 | ljp | sure.. |
04:21:31 | Fastolfe | hold on |
04:21:33 | ljp | as long as its not asm |
04:21:38 | whardier | hah |
04:21:51 | Fastolfe | nope, it's gutt shon C |
04:21:56 | ljp | e me ljp at llornkcor.com |
04:22:20 | Fastolfe | k, I'll just inline the relevant section in the mail |
04:22:32 | ljp | k |
04:23:04 | ljp | thing I am having problems with is setting the input volume.. works fine on my desktop.. but not on Z |
04:23:21 | ljp | no error's.. just doesn't work |
04:26:27 | dkl | Has anyone successfully been able to play mpeg1 clips with 1.10? |
04:27:05 | Fastolfe | ljp: it's on its way |
04:27:49 | ljp | is there anyway to get strace's output to a file? |
04:27:55 | Fastolfe | strace what ? |
04:28:03 | Fastolfe | ooh |
04:28:05 | Fastolfe | yeah, do |
04:28:16 | Fastolfe | strace <params> <prog> 2> trace |
04:28:24 | Fastolfe | it spits out things on stderr |
04:29:38 | Fastolfe | ljp: about the sound driver, it implements only a subset of the old sound API, and even that subset doesn't quite work right. I spent hours figuring out the right init order, and the right iocts ... |
04:29:43 | NeoTron | http://david.hedbor.org/tmp/edict_0.2_arm.ipk <-- can someone test that on sharp (network required) |
04:29:45 | Fastolfe | ljp: the code I sent you will work |
04:29:53 | Fastolfe | NeoTron: ok |
04:30:31 | fiferboy | Hmm... as soon as I closed qtopiadesktop in Linux, it freed up over 2 MG memory on the Zaurus... ;-) |
04:30:52 | Fastolfe | yeah, it's sad isn't it ? |
04:31:19 | fiferboy | A little, but as long as it works in Linux, I'm happy for now. |
04:32:13 | NeoTron | running it from a console will show network communication debug |
04:32:32 | Fastolfe | do you want me to test that too ? |
04:32:35 | w00t | are u guys improving something with audio? |
04:32:51 | Fastolfe | w00t: OZ ppl might, Sharp is sort of |
04:33:00 | Fastolfe | nice icon neotron |
04:33:22 | finkployd | Anyone have any experience with the Linksys wcf11? |
04:33:25 | Fastolfe | it's not connecting |
04:33:26 | NeoTron | it was shamelessly stolen from dict.org. :-PP |
04:33:31 | Fastolfe | lol |
04:33:46 | Fastolfe | sniffs eDict's packets |
04:34:40 | Fastolfe | what is it supposed to connect to ? at what port ? |
04:35:00 | NeoTron | dict.org, 2628 |
04:35:10 | NeoTron | : 130 neotron@stellar telnet dict.org 2628 src/edict/ |
04:35:10 | NeoTron | Trying 209.58.150.153... |
04:35:11 | NeoTron | hmm |
04:35:22 | Fastolfe | ooh, ain't gonna work, our f*cking firewall blocks outbounds too |
04:35:22 | NeoTron | ah, ok, there. a bit slow... |
04:35:28 | NeoTron | doh. :) |
04:35:36 | Fastolfe | our IS people are BOFHs |
04:35:36 | NeoTron | I hate firewalls that blocks outgoing stuff. ;-P |
04:35:57 | NeoTron | TODO: HTTP proxy (CONNECT method) support, perhaps. :) |
04:35:59 | Fastolfe | IS people here are security freaks, they annoy the living shit out of everybody |
04:36:23 | finkployd | how can I find the mac address of a CF wireless card? |
04:36:23 | Fastolfe | NeoTron: yes! I was actually looking forward to trying this, it's shiny and it has buttons all over the place |
04:36:25 | w00t | hehe |
04:36:31 | whardier | Fastolfe ? what are they doing to annoy you? |
04:36:37 | Fastolfe | block outbounds |
04:36:40 | Fastolfe | for nothing |
04:37:12 | Mallory | fink: Look at ifconfig? |
04:37:18 | Fastolfe | you know, the people *inside* a firewall as supposed to be trustworthy, but no, those people won't trust even us |
04:37:29 | Mallory | Yes, until one of them gets something like CodeRed. :) |
04:37:48 | whardier | Fastolfe what do you need to do :) |
04:37:58 | whardier | *hint* *hint* |
04:38:05 | whardier | I can usually find a way around thigns |
04:38:10 | whardier | things even |
04:38:10 | Fastolfe | Mallory: I run Linux, Windows bugs ain't my problem |
04:38:25 | finkployd | Mallory: Oh yeah |
04:38:27 | finkployd | slacks head |
04:38:33 | Mallory | Yes, but it is the IS peoples problem. |
04:38:49 | whardier | cmon cmon |
04:38:54 | whardier | I love pissing off IS people |
04:38:58 | whardier | tell me what you wanna do |
04:39:00 | Fastolfe | Mallory: the engineers don't have windoze :) |
04:39:21 | NeoTron | hmm. How is WStyle_ContextHelp supposed to work? |
04:39:33 | Fastolfe | whardier: can you forward a port 80 on one of your box to edict.org:2628 ? |
04:39:45 | Fastolfe | NeoTron: can you specify the host:port with your app ? |
04:39:51 | whardier | I have a much better solution |
04:39:54 | NeoTron | Fastolfe: TODO... :P |
04:39:57 | Fastolfe | lol |
04:40:01 | Fastolfe | whardier: never mind :) |
04:40:07 | whardier | what? |
04:40:09 | NeoTron | edit /etc/hosts and point dict.org to localhost or whatever |
04:40:16 | Fastolfe | yeah, but it sux |
04:40:31 | whardier | hehe |
04:40:33 | Fastolfe | so whard, what's the better solution ? |
04:40:39 | whardier | two solutions |
04:40:41 | whardier | one requires ssh |
04:40:48 | Fastolfe | wow, such luxury |
04:40:51 | whardier | one requires a tcp proxy (like simpleproxy) |
04:41:01 | Fastolfe | I'm an SSH port forwarding superhero |
04:41:07 | whardier | well |
04:41:11 | whardier | it also requires corkscrew |
04:41:18 | Fastolfe | corkscrew ? |
04:41:23 | whardier | but if you can port 22 out.. then you don't need it |
04:41:42 | Fastolfe | oh yeah, that's open |
04:41:46 | whardier | corkscrew maps ssh connections thru a web proxy |
04:41:50 | Fastolfe | But I have no account outside of here |
04:41:58 | whardier | I use it at airports to ssh to check my mail |
04:41:59 | whardier | :) |
04:42:02 | Mallory | However blocking unprivileged ports like that is kinda lame. |
04:42:07 | whardier | Fastolfe well I can fix that |
04:42:08 | Fastolfe | whardier: ok, I thought you were referring to your drinking :) |
04:42:12 | whardier | nono |
04:42:12 | Mallory | If you expect your users to get any work done. :) |
04:42:16 | whardier | the other solution is the simple one |
04:42:22 | Fastolfe | i |
04:42:22 | whardier | edit hosts.conf |
04:42:26 | whardier | and use simpleproxy |
04:42:30 | Fastolfe | hmm |
04:42:35 | whardier | however that will not work |
04:42:36 | whardier | nevermind |
04:42:39 | whardier | that is to trick the client |
04:42:41 | whardier | not the server |
04:42:42 | whardier | haha |
04:42:43 | Fastolfe | yeah it wont |
04:42:47 | whardier | hmm |
04:42:49 | whardier | what ports are open? |
04:42:50 | Mallory | Or keep an account someplace outside of your internal network where you can do such things, assuming they let 22 out. |
04:43:13 | Mallory | You can have a shell on bsd-unix.net for $5/mo. :) |
04:43:18 | whardier | yeah.. Fastolfe email me an account setup and I will give you a shell |
04:43:32 | whardier | shane@bogomip.com |
04:43:33 | Fastolfe | whardier: username ppc, choose the pass, I'll change it |
04:43:39 | whardier | that will work |
04:43:43 | Fastolfe | yup |
04:44:03 | Fastolfe | all that for a bloody dictionary ??? :) |
04:44:18 | whardier | we are just getting you set up to be cool :) |
04:44:38 | whardier | edict? |
04:44:42 | whardier | you learning japanese? |
04:44:42 | w00t | hehe |
04:47:08 | Fastolfe | NeoTron: it's edict.org ? |
04:47:17 | Fastolfe | or www.edict.org ? or something else ? |
04:47:34 | NeoTron | dict.oeg |
04:47:37 | NeoTron | org |
04:47:37 | Fastolfe | k |
04:48:35 | whardier | ok |
04:48:40 | whardier | now I have freebsd on this box |
04:48:41 | whardier | err |
04:48:42 | whardier | netbsd |
04:48:47 | whardier | what I really wanna do now :) |
04:48:50 | whardier | is get linux working on it |
04:48:57 | whardier | oh well |
04:49:07 | whardier | it originally came with linux 2.0.34 :) |
04:51:27 | Fastolfe | This is so STUPID !!!!!!!! |
04:51:38 | Fastolfe | the damn ssh client can't create a fucking file in ROM |
04:51:39 | finkployd | anyone know if sharp (or lineo) is working on using 2.4.16 instead of 2.4.6 for the Z? Rumour has it 2.4.16 has better power management (somthing the Z needs desperatly) |
04:51:57 | whardier | damn |
04:51:59 | whardier | fuck me running |
04:52:06 | whardier | http://loco.pocketlinux.com/~samc/debian-cobalt/ |
04:52:07 | whardier | brb |
04:52:09 | whardier | hehe |
04:53:07 | whardier | backs up his work |
04:53:12 | whardier | crys |
04:53:32 | whardier | I wanna see how well 2.4.5 works on a qube now |
04:54:58 | Fastolfe | I give upo |
04:54:59 | Fastolfe | I give up |
04:55:24 | NeoTron | tv-time |
04:55:24 | Fastolfe | fucking jeezus on a popsicle stick, I FUCKING HATE FUCKING FIREWALLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
04:56:02 | Fastolfe | Note to self: when you create your company, do NOT block outbound internet connection |
04:57:31 | whardier | hahaha |
04:58:22 | Fastolfe | oh fuck a duck. I'm out for a cigarette |
04:58:24 | Fastolfe | brb |
05:04:01 | Fastolfe | hmm |
05:05:36 | Fastolfe | I lost my mp3 cds |
05:10:21 | ljp | bummer |
05:11:58 | Fastolfe | ljp: does that code work for you then ? |
05:13:36 | ljp | its not working.. |
05:13:39 | roge99 | Fastolfe: if you get an account on an external box... check out httptunnel http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html |
05:14:11 | ljp | for some reason the mixer won't accept anything |
05:14:55 | Fastolfe | roge99: yeah, tunneling is easy, it's just that I don't have the time to mess with the freaking Z right now :) |
05:14:57 | ljp | whoops |
05:14:58 | Fastolfe | ljp: bummer |
05:15:04 | Fastolfe | ljp: what's going on ? |
05:16:12 | ljp | < != > *DOH* |
05:16:21 | Fastolfe | ?:) |
05:16:48 | ljp | heh.. that wasnt it.. |
05:17:04 | ljp | I dunno whats going on. |
05:17:13 | Fastolfe | hmm |
05:17:24 | Fastolfe | I mean, what doesn't work ? the gain ? |
05:18:04 | ljp | ya.. gives error |
05:18:08 | Fastolfe | really ?? |
05:18:10 | Fastolfe | hmm |
05:18:13 | whardier | edict |
05:18:20 | whardier | how about you tell me what you want to know |
05:18:25 | ljp | SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_IGAIN |
05:18:28 | whardier | and I will look it up |
05:18:29 | whardier | and tell you |
05:18:32 | whardier | I will be your bot |
05:18:33 | Fastolfe | lol |
05:18:49 | | OK, Fastolfe. |
05:18:49 | Fastolfe | ibot: whardier is my bot-toy |
05:19:14 | whardier | damnit |
05:19:17 | whardier | hates labels |
05:19:25 | whardier | hehe |
05:19:28 | Fastolfe | :) |
05:19:46 | whardier | ok |
05:19:47 | whardier | well |
05:19:49 | whardier | that was easy |
05:19:51 | whardier | lets see if this boots |
05:21:11 | whardier | HAHA |
05:21:12 | whardier | sick |
05:21:27 | whardier | sick and bad and wrong |
05:21:28 | whardier | ok |
05:21:34 | whardier | so somebody loves me |
05:21:47 | whardier | they made a preinstall tar of a debian-qube image |
05:21:55 | whardier | so all I had to do was untar it to /dev/hda1 |
05:21:57 | whardier | and tada |
05:22:02 | whardier | instant debian sex for the qube |
05:22:06 | Fastolfe | uuh |
05:22:12 | Fastolfe | sure |
05:22:15 | Fastolfe | whatever |
05:22:28 | whardier | hehe |
05:22:35 | whardier | that was the easiest os install I have ever done |
05:22:53 | whardier | root@blah /mnt: tar xfvj image.bz2 |
05:22:57 | Fastolfe | and you can get rid of BSD too |
05:22:58 | whardier | tada |
05:22:59 | Fastolfe | what a deal |
05:23:02 | whardier | yeah |
05:23:21 | whardier | haha |
05:23:23 | whardier | default name |
05:23:24 | whardier | borgcube login: root |
05:23:51 | Fastolfe | just realized he forgot to back up the new fbvncserver sources |
05:23:52 | Fastolfe | oops |
05:24:02 | Fastolfe | nearly trashed them |
05:24:07 | tux_mike | how would i get the home directory? with getenv? |
05:24:23 | Fastolfe | it's in the HOME variable |
05:24:27 | Fastolfe | echo $HOME |
05:24:37 | tux_mike | well, in a C++ program :) |
05:24:49 | Fastolfe | getenv then :) |
05:25:12 | Fastolfe | is so clever |
05:25:13 | tux_mike | this means i have to look up a man page.... i have no room for another terminal window! :) |
05:25:24 | Fastolfe | no pain no gain |
05:28:32 | tux_mike | hrmm... f |
05:28:40 | tux_mike | Fastolfe: you ever use getenv? |
05:29:49 | Mallory | If you want to set it wouldn't you use putenv? |
05:30:03 | Mallory | err, I thought he said set. Nevermind, /me gets more coffee |
05:30:11 | tux_mike | no, just need to get. |
05:30:32 | tux_mike | is that a malloc'd string, or is it just a pointer to somewhere where the data is already in memory? |
05:31:14 | ljp | tux: if it's qt QDir::homeDirPath() |
05:31:27 | tux_mike | hrm... may work :) |
05:31:40 | Fastolfe | tux_mike: yes, I use getenv to get the value of HOME and expand "~" |
05:31:43 | Fastolfe | :) |
05:36:56 | ljp | oh, my.. warwick is busy tonight...! |
05:37:37 | tux_mike | hrm? |
05:37:46 | ljp | heh- but not really |
05:37:53 | ljp | qpe cvs logs |
05:38:02 | tux_mike | ah |
05:38:36 | ljp | Fix copyright headers, remove CTRL-M's |
05:47:41 | whardier | no FPU means.. AAAUGH |
05:47:55 | whardier | why are all the cool machines that hop into my lap FPUless! |
05:47:59 | whardier | damn you RISC! |
05:48:40 | Fastolfe | because most multimediocre devices aren't number crunchers, and most of the math they do is DSP, which the strongarm has instructions for |
05:49:06 | whardier | having a fucking FPU would be nice! |
05:49:16 | Fastolfe | it would burn more battery too :) |
05:49:19 | whardier | even a kinda shy FPU would be cool! |
05:49:23 | Fastolfe | lol |
05:49:31 | Fastolfe | "kinda shy FPU" :) |
05:49:33 | Fastolfe | okay |
05:49:37 | whardier | well |
05:49:40 | whardier | not a fucking one |
05:49:44 | whardier | just a kinda shy one |
05:49:48 | whardier | hehe |
05:49:51 | Fastolfe | yeah yeah yeah, i got it |
05:49:54 | whardier | I know |
05:49:57 | whardier | but some of youm ight not of |
05:50:03 | whardier | and I am here to help |
05:50:18 | Fastolfe | oh sure, whardier is here to ... get help |
05:50:27 | whardier | this qube reminds me of a much faster Sparc/IPX |
05:50:33 | Fastolfe | lol |
05:50:39 | whardier | I have one of those too |
05:50:57 | whardier | I might wanna xcompile a kernel for the ipx and make it a dhcp server |
05:51:04 | whardier | except that I will have to reboot it every few days |
05:51:11 | Fastolfe | Y ? |
05:51:16 | whardier | hardware /me thinks |
05:51:25 | whardier | it is kinda old |
05:51:27 | Fastolfe | sucks |
05:51:32 | whardier | even if it is pretty fucking cool |
05:52:06 | whardier | so there is a company that I usually look at for embedded systems.. usually intel based |
05:52:13 | whardier | they also make an ide to net converter |
05:52:19 | whardier | so if you have NFS |
05:52:20 | Fastolfe | which ? |
05:52:25 | whardier | jumptek |
05:52:29 | whardier | or SMB |
05:52:31 | whardier | or anything |
05:52:33 | Fastolfe | oh yeah, we worked with then a lot |
05:52:35 | whardier | it can mount and boot |
05:52:36 | Fastolfe | jumptec |
05:52:40 | whardier | thats rright |
05:52:48 | whardier | that explains why jumptek.de was not working |
05:52:54 | Fastolfe | lol |
05:53:04 | whardier | anyways I am gonna order the AMD elan board I think |
05:53:31 | Fastolfe | sc400 ? |
05:53:41 | Fastolfe | it's a nice board |
05:53:44 | whardier | http://jumptec.de/product/data/etx/etx-e520-e.html |
05:53:57 | whardier | its got CF on it |
05:54:06 | whardier | and a fucking FPU! |
05:54:08 | Fastolfe | oh it's the 540 |
05:54:12 | Fastolfe | 520 I mean |
05:54:19 | whardier | the sc400 is in apple airports |
05:54:19 | whardier | heh |
05:54:24 | Fastolfe | :) |
05:54:31 | whardier | I broke one the other day and found out |
05:55:01 | whardier | I was pretty impressed |
05:55:09 | whardier | there is a linux kernel that runs on the sc400 in an airport |
05:55:12 | whardier | that is prety wacked no! |
05:55:30 | Fastolfe | is there ? i thought it was a roll-your-own os |
05:55:33 | Fastolfe | that's neat |
05:55:37 | whardier | http://www-hft.ee.tu-berlin.de/~strauman/airport/airport.html |
05:56:05 | whardier | I fail to see the point |
05:56:15 | whardier | its neat |
05:56:20 | whardier | and of cours eI would love to create it |
05:56:23 | whardier | but once it is done |
05:56:29 | whardier | you still have a few problems |
05:56:33 | whardier | its too bloated |
05:56:33 | whardier | heh |
05:57:47 | whardier | I have a ninja kitty |
05:57:52 | whardier | and a samurai pizza cat |
05:57:55 | whardier | they feud |
05:58:13 | whardier | they both like their ruler however |
05:58:25 | whardier | which is prolly why they are both still alive |
06:04:28 | whardier | doh |
06:23:27 | Fastolfe | lol |
06:24:06 | Fastolfe | I was testing the sound driver and the only thing I had at hand was an mp3 of dixie, and the Zaurus crashed halfway thru the song :) |
06:24:12 | whardier | hahaha |
06:24:30 | Fastolfe | I guess the Z ain't no device for good ole boys |
06:25:01 | whardier | man |
06:25:05 | whardier | you are CRAZY! |
06:25:25 | Fastolfe | oh yeah ? now *that* is an interesting comment from whardier |
06:25:37 | whardier | hehe |
06:25:40 | Fastolfe | and why is that ? |
06:25:42 | whardier | why does everybody think I am nutz |
06:25:47 | Fastolfe | hmm |
06:25:50 | Fastolfe | because you are ? |
06:25:57 | whardier | well I aint |
06:26:01 | whardier | I explained it before lucy.. |
06:26:07 | Fastolfe | lucy ? |
06:26:09 | whardier | sunday is the drinking day |
06:26:18 | whardier | because then I can drink and break hardware |
06:26:24 | whardier | and God will forgive me |
06:26:26 | Fastolfe | funny, i can |
06:26:34 | Fastolfe | too |
06:26:36 | whardier | hah |
06:26:44 | whardier | I have been drinking all day |
06:26:50 | whardier | got down about 10 ciders so far |
06:26:55 | Fastolfe | well, I'm proud of you |
06:26:57 | whardier | ever since noon |
06:27:03 | whardier | its been a very long drinking session |
06:27:06 | NeoTron | reads RFC 2229 |
06:27:13 | whardier | because I keep getting distracted |
06:27:16 | whardier | from drinking |
06:27:23 | whardier | now who wants crazy |
06:27:29 | whardier | I am gonna compile a kernel on my mips |
06:27:40 | whardier | should add swap first |
06:29:21 | Fastolfe | halleluia ! |
06:29:26 | Fastolfe | my code finally works ! |
06:29:39 | whardier | wowoo |
06:29:56 | Fastolfe | hell, that was hard but ... |
06:30:07 | Fastolfe | I HAVE A FUCKING MORSE KEY ON MY ZAURUS ! |
06:31:30 | whardier | morse key huh |
06:31:31 | whardier | neat |
06:31:39 | whardier | does it work with the KB? |
06:31:54 | Fastolfe | it will as soon as I do the morse -> scancode table :) |
06:32:00 | whardier | neato |
06:32:07 | Fastolfe | yessireebob |
06:32:12 | whardier | if I only had a speaker |
06:32:19 | Fastolfe | what for ? |
06:32:26 | whardier | non headset use |
06:32:34 | Fastolfe | you mean a mike ? |
06:32:39 | Fastolfe | ooh |
06:32:40 | Fastolfe | nevermind |
06:32:42 | whardier | :) |
06:32:51 | Fastolfe | hmm, I doubt the Z can drive a speaker |
06:32:51 | whardier | you could drive women crazy by asking them out in morse |
06:32:59 | whardier | Fastolfe the ipaq can |
06:33:08 | Fastolfe | I met my fiancee over the air |
06:33:09 | whardier | its got the same battery in it |
06:33:18 | Fastolfe | ipaq can what ? |
06:33:18 | whardier | Fastolfe: neat |
06:33:24 | whardier | ipaq can drive a speaker |
06:33:28 | Fastolfe | oh ok |
06:33:46 | Fastolfe | I dunno really, I just thought the Z couldn't. |
06:33:46 | whardier | one of the funks to the Z is that the ipaq has a speaker that sounds pretty good |
06:34:26 | whardier | this qube has 16 megs of ram |
06:34:37 | Fastolfe | brb nicotine |
06:35:22 | whardier | damn you |
06:36:31 | whardier | heh |
06:36:41 | whardier | do not do a "swapon" when extracting a bzipped kernel |
06:36:44 | whardier | it fails |
06:36:50 | whardier | WB kergoth`! |
06:39:45 | NeoTron | wtf |
06:43:12 | Fastolfe | is there a contest for the most useless Zaurus application ? |
06:43:19 | Fastolfe | that would be cool |
06:55:24 | whardier | hahaha |
06:55:25 | whardier | I would win |
06:55:30 | whardier | whats yours do |
06:55:40 | Fastolfe | I would win :) |
06:55:40 | whardier | it counds the first 0 digits of pi |
06:55:45 | Fastolfe | lol |
06:55:49 | Fastolfe | ah yes, you win |
06:55:52 | whardier | haha |
06:55:58 | whardier | ok |
06:56:01 | whardier | cannot breath |
06:56:03 | whardier | e |
06:56:12 | whardier | need to go kick a stinky kitty butt |
06:56:52 | Fastolfe | You know what ? with a little magnetic relay and my hack, I could turn the Z into the most expensive bicycle computer in the world |
06:58:30 | whardier | bicycle computer? |
06:58:32 | whardier | hahaha |
06:58:42 | whardier | oh thats classy! |
06:58:55 | Fastolfe | yeah, I just made a piece of code and a special cable that turns the audio port into a one bit input |
06:59:04 | whardier | hmm |
06:59:07 | whardier | that would be usefull |
06:59:33 | Fastolfe | so I can do morse, but I can also hook a fet or a relay and count the number of RPM of a bike wheel |
07:01:18 | Mallory | Yeah, that's neat. |
07:01:56 | Fastolfe | hmm |
07:02:07 | Fastolfe | I just calculated that it wouldn't work over 25 kph |
07:02:11 | Fastolfe | oh well |
07:02:50 | whardier | why? |
07:03:03 | whardier | hah |
07:03:35 | whardier | somebody maintains a mips bitchx |
07:03:48 | Fastolfe | because to determine if the switch is closed or not, I send a carrier out the audio port, then see if it comes back in, but the whole loop acts as a lo-pass filter, so I have to keep the rate down |
07:04:04 | whardier | wants a spectrum analyzer |
07:04:18 | Fastolfe | flashes his CC for whardier |
07:04:20 | whardier | system type : Cobalt Microserver 27 |
07:04:20 | whardier | BogoMIPS : 249.85 |
07:04:27 | Fastolfe | rraahhhh |
07:04:43 | whardier | cpu model : Nevada V10.0 |
07:04:54 | Fastolfe | so exciting |
07:05:16 | Fastolfe | damn |
07:05:29 | Fastolfe | if I want to sample faster I have to recode the thing in assembler again |
07:05:35 | Fastolfe | sux |
07:05:45 | whardier | haha |
07:06:02 | Fastolfe | keeps his C code and keys his codes slower :) |
07:06:13 | whardier | ok |
07:06:20 | whardier | maybe you should look into using ESD |
07:06:28 | whardier | so then you can store the tones as wav |
07:06:32 | whardier | and play them back REALLY fast |
07:06:45 | Fastolfe | well, I need to process them in real-time on the fly |
07:06:51 | whardier | process |
07:06:56 | whardier | not send |
07:07:00 | Fastolfe | it's kind of like a shite DSP i'm doing |
07:07:09 | whardier | haha |
07:07:14 | whardier | so its in and out |
07:07:21 | Fastolfe | what do you mean ? |
07:07:27 | whardier | it listens and sends? |
07:07:29 | Fastolfe | yeah |
07:07:31 | whardier | ok |
07:07:33 | whardier | haha |
07:07:40 | whardier | I saw sound blaster networking code somewhere once |
07:07:46 | whardier | they were getting about 1mbps |
07:07:47 | Fastolfe | if you short the left and right output channel, for some reasons, it sends the audio back in the plug :) |
07:07:52 | Fastolfe | I dunno why, but it works |
07:08:06 | whardier | hahaha |
07:08:10 | whardier | you loopbacked the audio? |
07:08:13 | Fastolfe | yeah |
07:08:16 | whardier | HAHA |
07:08:17 | whardier | ok |
07:08:18 | whardier | silly boy |
07:08:19 | Fastolfe | I have no clue why this works |
07:08:22 | whardier | you wanna know why that works? |
07:08:26 | Fastolfe | sure |
07:08:33 | whardier | left is "mono" out |
07:08:39 | whardier | right is "mono" in |
07:08:40 | Fastolfe | is it ? :) |
07:08:51 | whardier | so when you short them |
07:08:55 | Fastolfe | but I ouput stereo :) |
07:09:02 | whardier | yeah |
07:09:04 | whardier | I know |
07:09:17 | whardier | the sound card drives the stereo to mono |
07:09:20 | Fastolfe | I thought it has one of these 4 ring jacks to do both |
07:09:22 | whardier | when it is in record mode |
07:09:33 | whardier | Fastolfe not that cool I am afraid |
07:09:33 | Fastolfe | ic |
07:09:53 | Fastolfe | that means you can't do stereo out and mono in |
07:09:55 | Fastolfe | crappy |
07:10:00 | whardier | true |
07:10:02 | whardier | true |
07:10:06 | Fastolfe | but it sure does the trick for me eh |
07:10:21 | Fastolfe | whardier, i'll quote you in the readme |
07:10:29 | whardier | sure |
07:10:32 | whardier | that is what I know |
07:10:37 | whardier | and I forget how I know |
07:10:38 | Fastolfe | so I don't end up being sued when people's audio plug starts smoking |
07:10:45 | whardier | heh |
07:10:47 | Fastolfe | makes sense tho |
07:10:50 | whardier | just do not quote my email addy |
07:10:51 | whardier | hah |
07:11:07 | Fastolfe | sure I will : sillyknob@lostisland.com |
07:11:13 | whardier | suemeanddie@bogomip.com |
07:11:22 | Fastolfe | heh |
07:11:34 | whardier | I need to get postfix doing some neat stuff soon |
07:11:47 | Fastolfe | postfix ? |
07:11:53 | whardier | ist an MTA like sendmail |
07:11:57 | Fastolfe | oic |
07:12:05 | whardier | udo? |
07:12:05 | Fastolfe | use sendmail |
07:12:09 | whardier | I used to |
07:12:17 | whardier | I really hated the idea of anything else |
07:12:20 | whardier | then I tried it |
07:12:25 | Fastolfe | sendmail is great, it makes for perfect job security in IT departments :) |
07:12:25 | whardier | and kept it for a month |
07:12:45 | whardier | Fastolfe I am the only person one of my contracts knows.. that has even heard of linux |
07:12:48 | whardier | I have job security |
07:12:57 | whardier | woowoo |
07:12:59 | Fastolfe | heh |
07:13:02 | whardier | boa is on the qube now |
07:13:05 | whardier | damnit I love linux |
07:13:13 | whardier | to bad it keeps giving me funky segfaults |
07:13:30 | Fastolfe | I love Windows 2.0 |
07:13:34 | whardier | HAHA |
07:13:57 | Fastolfe | windows 2.0 is my friend |
07:14:04 | Fastolfe | with a big F like fuck |
07:14:33 | Fastolfe | 's software is so excellent, he deserves a good coffee now |
07:14:53 | whardier | pot smoker |
07:15:21 | Fastolfe | I used to in France |
07:15:42 | Fastolfe | not here tho, you get your ass in jail for 10yrs if you have 2 gs on you |
07:16:14 | Fastolfe | that was too much for him |
07:18:02 | whardier | suck |
07:18:09 | xxL | hey |
07:18:25 | whardier | wtf |
07:18:27 | whardier | who is xxL |
07:18:29 | xxL | 'morning, people |
07:18:40 | Fastolfe | hello fellow human being |
07:18:46 | whardier | ok |
07:19:05 | whardier | anyhoot |
07:19:08 | whardier | beddybye time |
07:19:14 | Fastolfe | seeya |
07:19:18 | whardier | bye |
07:19:21 | Fastolfe | don't let the bed bugs bite |
07:22:55 | xxL | heh |
07:23:08 | xxL | what's the use of it ? |
07:23:16 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | this is so cool, after all that time trying to make the hack works |
07:23:26 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | none, there is no use, it's totally useless |
07:23:31 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | that's the beauty |
07:23:39 | xxL | understands the beauty of a cool hack :) |
07:23:54 | xxL | congrats |
07:24:08 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | this one's a doozy, it allows you to hook up a morse key on the audio port :) |
07:24:10 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | thanks |
07:24:23 | xxL | how good are you at hardware ? |
07:24:32 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | Enough to be dangerous |
07:24:54 | xxL | what about doing some serious project ? |
07:25:15 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | I do serious project, but that's just a hack for fun :) |
07:25:21 | xxL | you know what I'd like to have on my Z ? a radio/tv tuner... :) |
07:25:27 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | nope |
07:25:42 | xxL | nope what ? |
07:25:52 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | no I don't know what you'd like on your Z |
07:25:54 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | what is it ? |
07:26:20 | xxL | a radio and/or tv tunner |
07:26:36 | xxL | on the CF slot |
07:26:40 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | radio should be easy, but TV, I ain't so sure |
07:26:53 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | you sure there isn't a CF radio tuner out there ? |
07:27:00 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | surely someone thought the same thing |
07:27:23 | xxL | the problem I see with TV is the size of the actual TV tunner. I have a pinnacle on my workstation and the tunner (Panasonic) is quite large |
07:27:45 | xxL | and dunno about power consumption |
07:28:11 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | the problem I see is : how are you going to shield the tuner from the Z's electronics in the small space of a CF ? |
07:29:25 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | brb cigarette |
07:29:28 | xxL | put the tuner outside , like a jacket or so ? |
07:32:28 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | yeah |
07:32:42 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | if the Zaurus' USB port was a server, you could hook up a WinTV |
07:32:51 | NeoTron | is away: sleep |
07:33:59 | xxL | wintv doesn't look too portable to me |
07:34:57 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | I don't know of anything else that's not a PCI card |
07:35:44 | xxL | are the PCI and CF ports very different, or are they basically the same ? |
07:35:59 | xxL | sucks at hardware |
07:36:00 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | yeah |
07:36:06 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | CF==PCMCIA |
07:36:14 | xxL | oh |
07:36:52 | xxL | "CF radio tuner" yielded no relevant results on google... |
07:37:02 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | well, that was a long shot :) |
07:40:10 | xxL | however, looks like someone did it w/ pcmcia: |
07:40:15 | xxL | http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=47044&AID=51965&PID=421219 |
07:40:38 | xxL | grmbl, that shit is pricey :( |
07:41:58 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | oh cool |
07:41:58 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | so I guess you could use this to hook it up to the z : |
07:41:59 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | http://www.accurite.com/CFPCAdapter.html |
07:41:59 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | :) |
07:42:12 | xxL | I gotta go to the rail station and pick up a package. |
07:42:16 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | k seeya |
07:42:18 | xxL | nice talking to you, see ya later |
07:42:27 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | k |
08:38:29 | xxL | is back |
09:05:12 | young | yeah |
09:41:02 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | This is soo cool |
09:41:12 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | I'm keying morse in the embeddedkonsole :) |
09:41:42 | mark_ | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ: LOL |
09:41:52 | mark_ | how quick can you go? |
09:42:11 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | I can go around 20 wpm, but the software doesn't follow very well :) |
09:42:30 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | You should see that, a 1942 straight key plugged onto a 2002 Zaurus :) |
09:44:07 | mark_ | hehe |
12:16:11 | Fastolfe|ICanDoMorseCodeOnMyZ | presto, new release |
13:59:49 | peanut | waves |

14:07:27 | Mallory | Silly /. dork, Handsprings are for kids! |
14:07:41 | mark_ | Mallory: hehe |
14:07:53 | mark_ | Mallory: whats it got? |
14:09:00 | Mallory | No idea, just looks like a cellphone with the Visor built in |
14:09:01 | Mallory | http://www.visorcentral.com/content/Stories/1386-1.htm |
14:11:56 | mark_ | oh right |
14:29:57 | bipolar | is back (gone 64:24:35) |
14:31:20 | gillus | hi all |
15:01:46 | peanut | hey jason! |
15:01:53 | JasonNJ | morning |
15:01:57 | JasonNJ | hey. |
15:02:02 | JasonNJ | stupid question folks. |
15:02:10 | JasonNJ | being that I run the uh, developer program and all. |
15:02:22 | JasonNJ | the qtopia sdk doesnt come with the compiler toolchain, doesnt it |
15:02:32 | peanut | no. |
15:02:37 | JasonNJ | I thought so. |
15:02:38 | peanut | you need to download it separately |
15:02:42 | JasonNJ | where is the best place to download it? |
15:02:46 | JasonNJ | developer.sharpsec? |
15:02:56 | JasonNJ | cause I am putting together a tools cd |
15:07:27 | CosmicPenguin | is back (gone 64:56:22) |
15:08:07 | JasonNJ | seems like the more site has most of the stuff. |
15:11:07 | Mallory | Jason: It's on the Contest page |
15:11:22 | Mallory | rwm@ryan:~$ rpm -q arm-toolchain-trolltech |
15:11:22 | Mallory | arm-toolchain-trolltech-2.95.2-1 |
15:11:26 | Mallory | Want me to stash it somewhere for you? |
15:20:44 | JasonNJ | no I just downloaded it |
15:20:56 | JasonNJ | I will put up the directory for you guys to test |
15:21:08 | JasonNJ | so you can tell me if everything is in there a developer needs |
15:21:32 | JasonNJ | can you guys http to boxzdev.sharpsec.com ? |
15:21:38 | JasonNJ | or is it firewalled |
15:22:27 | Mallory | Unable to determine IP address from host name for boxzdev.sharpsec.com |
15:23:47 | JasonNJ | what about 172.29.24.80 |
15:24:29 | peanut | nothing going.. |
15:25:19 | kergoth`work | greetings. |
15:26:40 | Mallory | Isn't that one of the private network blocks? :) |
15:28:39 | bugfixer | JasonNJ: That is a private IP address i thnk. (Not routable on the Internet) |
15:33:16 | peanut | 172.29.24.80 is what i call, locally routeable :) |
15:34:21 | bipolar | The zaurus only has 16MB of flash, right? |
15:34:55 | peanut | yes |
15:35:47 | JasonNJ | Mallory: if you cant get to it, I will put the files up on ZZ in a test area. |
15:35:59 | JasonNJ | as a downloadable iso |
15:36:25 | peanut | JasonNJ: any word from lineo on the driver |
15:36:38 | JasonNJ | peanut: nope. |
15:36:45 | peanut | bummer |
15:36:48 | JasonNJ | symbol is not being cooperative |
15:36:59 | JasonNJ | we may make some progress with socket though |
15:36:59 | peanut | oh.. |
15:37:08 | JasonNJ | since we are disucssiing licensing stuff with tme |
15:37:09 | JasonNJ | them |
15:37:11 | bipolar | JasonNJ: Are there going to be any 32MB zaurus'? |
15:37:12 | peanut | i'm not talking about that.. i'm talking about connectivity to linux on the desktop |
15:37:22 | bipolar | JasonNJ: As in flash? |
15:37:27 | JasonNJ | bipolar: the next zaurus is gonna be a lot bigger than that :) |
15:37:38 | bipolar | JasonNJ: Tell me |
15:37:41 | JasonNJ | cant |
15:37:45 | bipolar | JasonNJ: I just lost my iPaq. |
15:37:54 | peanut | ok.. speaking of the next Z, is there a estimated timeframe? |
15:37:56 | peanut | next year? |
15:37:57 | bipolar | JasonNJ: Now I can't get any work done. |
15:38:05 | peanut | 6 months after the 55 |
15:38:11 | JasonNJ | bipolar: the 5500 ships next month |
15:38:23 | bipolar | JasonNJ: -sigh- |
15:38:24 | JasonNJ | the one after that in the summer/fall timeframe |
15:38:54 | JasonNJ | we only have an internal code name for it and the desired design specs |
15:39:07 | JasonNJ | much of it is on the table right now, and I am directly involved with a lot of it |
15:39:15 | JasonNJ | so I cant really talk about it. |
15:39:20 | mark_ | is there gonna be a central resource anywhere for Z apps? (once the contest apps are released) |
15:39:29 | JasonNJ | but suffice to say you will like it and it will blow everything else away. |
15:39:37 | JasonNJ | yes handango. |
15:39:52 | JasonNJ | same thing palm uses |
15:39:59 | mark_ | good good |
15:40:01 | bipolar | JasonNJ: ok. But I need to get somthing now so that I can work on Opie. |
15:40:17 | mark_ | bipolar: is it _that_ lost? |
15:40:25 | JasonNJ | bipolar: well, the 5000 is still a very good machine |
15:40:31 | bipolar | mark_: I have no idea where it could be. |
15:40:39 | JasonNJ | and we are going to be doing another promotion on it soon |
15:40:48 | JasonNJ | to get the rest out of inventory |
15:40:55 | bipolar | mark_: it might have sliped out of the case, but the case was always in the car. |
15:40:56 | peanut | ahh.. |
15:41:12 | mark_ | JasonNJ: zaurus 2 gonna be Qtopia 2/qt3? |
15:41:27 | bipolar | mark_: So the only place it could be is in a parking lot somewhere, smashed into 1k peices. |
15:41:43 | mark_ | bipolar: oh dear :( poor little ipaq |
15:42:24 | bipolar | mark_: I bought that iPaq when I found out that I could run linux on it. Started with version .13 of the hh.org dist. |
15:42:38 | mark_ | bipolar: sweet. |
15:42:51 | mark_ | bipolar: how long ago was that |
15:42:54 | bipolar | mark_: yeah, but now it's gone. |
15:43:06 | mark_ | senses bipolar is close to tears :) |
15:43:24 | bipolar | mark_: umm... oct of 2000/2001? |
15:43:52 | mark_ | hehe. oh well, a good excuse to get a brand new device |
15:44:01 | JasonNJ | anyone know of a good kde or x front end to mkisofs? |
15:44:19 | bipolar | mark_: .13 was in August of 2000. |
15:44:37 | bipolar | JasonNJ: XCD-ROAST? |
15:44:43 | JasonNJ | mark_: I cant comment on that |
15:45:13 | JasonNJ | yeah xcdroast ok |
15:45:15 | JasonNJ | I used to use that |
15:45:25 | peanut | likes gnome-toaster |
15:46:03 | Mallory | likes cdrecord / mkisofs / mpg123 :) |
15:46:10 | mark_ | JasonNJ: okay :) |
15:46:37 | JasonNJ | whats the syntax to make a directory into an ISO? |
15:49:19 | peanut | JasonNJ: any idea when sharpmobile will go live? |
15:49:52 | mark_ | presumably qpe2 and 1 and BC. how is this gonna work? |
15:51:40 | Mallory | jason: Generally `mkisofs -R -J -o /where/you/want/this.iso .' |
15:52:04 | Mallory | -R = Rock Ridge, -J = Joilet extensions, -o = output file, . = cwd |
15:52:46 | JasonNJ | mallory where are you specifying the directory |
15:52:50 | JasonNJ | the source |
15:53:13 | Mallory | ., the curret directory |
15:53:27 | JasonNJ | does it know to recurse subdirectories |
15:53:32 | Mallory | So cd /home/jason && mkisofs -R -J -o /tmp/jasonhome.iso . |
15:53:36 | Mallory | Yup |
15:53:38 | JasonNJ | okay |
15:53:41 | JasonNJ | simple enough |
15:53:47 | JasonNJ | how many directories can you go down |
15:53:51 | JasonNJ | whats the limitation |
15:54:07 | Mallory | I don't think there is a limit (not seeing on on the man page with a quick search) |
15:54:22 | JasonNJ | ok I will try to keep it under 3 levels deep |
15:54:38 | Mallory | You can go much more then that. I've had at least twenty level deep before. |
15:54:54 | Mallory | (we rsync & burn backups of our production machines, and those are really deep) |
15:59:29 | JasonNJ | I am literally putting EVERYTHING from the sharp developer site, plus the sdk's, plus selected material from sourceforge and ZZ on this CD |
15:59:37 | JasonNJ | plus all source |
16:00:04 | JasonNJ | I will try to update the ISO weekly |
16:00:53 | JasonNJ | ultimately I would like to bundle a linux distro with it too |
16:01:18 | JasonNJ | maybe some brave soul can come up with a debian or a redhat which is stripped down that will install with it |
16:29:14 | Mallory | If you dont' need X I'll bundle EnGarde with it :) |
16:30:54 | JasonNJ | damn sourceforge is slow today |
16:31:15 | JasonNJ | yeah you kinda need X to develop Qt apps. :) |
16:31:41 | JasonNJ | I'm thinking something very stripped down with KDE , qtopia sdk and arm toolchain preloaded |
16:41:42 | whardier | heads off to work |
16:42:36 | treke | JasonNJ : run QTopia on x86 framebuffer :) |
16:44:18 | bipolar_away | is away: I'm not here... Really.... |
17:14:23 | carey | JasonNJ: Any chance that sharp could include the Yahoo sync module with Intellisync |
17:45:03 | Nightvisi | any avantgo type software out yet for the Z? |
18:01:29 | whardier | I left for a month and everybody wants to break my knees |
18:01:43 | kergoth`work | hah |
18:01:45 | kergoth`work | wtf |
18:01:56 | whardier | I had some "mild" work to do remotely from the island |
18:02:07 | whardier | but during those times the networks were either down or non existant |
18:02:18 | whardier | and now there are a ton of PR issues |
18:02:31 | whardier | because I was fucking trapped on an island with a bunk internet system |
18:02:47 | whardier | working 8 hours more aday than I was told |
18:03:14 | kergoth`work | eh. that sucks |
18:03:42 | whardier | yeah |
18:03:53 | whardier | like I was told "it might be best to work remotely for a week or two" |
18:04:03 | whardier | thank god my boss loves me |
18:32:26 | JasonNJ | Mallory: how do you preserve long filenames when doing the mkisofs |
18:33:46 | Mallory | -J does that |
18:33:51 | Mallory | Joilet extensions |
18:33:58 | JasonNJ | ok I did that |
18:34:07 | Mallory | It builds a translation table which translates the short to long filenames. |
18:34:09 | JasonNJ | but when I ran the command it look like it might have turncated some |
18:34:19 | JasonNJ | I ran it the exact way you told me |
18:34:26 | JasonNJ | or is that the file it is keepin in the database |
18:34:37 | Mallory | It should work. If you want to check it before you burn it mount it with "mount -o loop this.iso /mnt/iso" |
18:35:15 | file | where am I? in a database? GET ME OUT!!! |
18:35:26 | Mallory | heh, Help me before I get replicated!@# |
18:36:02 | JasonNJ | ok the iso seems to work. |
18:36:10 | JasonNJ | gimme a few minutes to get it up on ZZ. |
18:36:13 | file | WHERE'S THE MAILMAN! |
18:36:18 | file | I want my VTech Helio gah dang it! |
18:44:07 | Neo|Work | morning |
18:44:32 | kergoth | Neo|Work: mornin |
18:45:26 | Neo|Work | finished upgrading (open)sshd to get x forwardig to work again |
18:45:34 | Neo|Work | had to fight with it some to get it all working tho |
18:47:57 | scanline | is away: class |
18:48:31 | bipolar | is back (gone 02:04:13) |
18:50:27 | Neo|Work | JasonNJ: yo. |
18:52:23 | Neo|Work | http://david.hedbor.org/tmp/edict_0.3b_arm.ipk <-- now with more functionality. :-PP |
18:52:32 | file | won a hockey puck |
19:02:40 | MEGASTeP | is back (gone 62:00:21) |
19:05:47 | BigBoss | what's up good today? |
19:06:14 | kergoth | hey shawn |
19:06:16 | kergoth | hows it goin? |
19:09:32 | BigBoss | we've got some more embedded apps coming up shortly :) |
19:09:37 | BigBoss | hopefully 2 next week |
19:09:43 | BigBoss | and a few more in the next month |
19:09:47 | peanut | nice |
19:09:56 | peanut | any cheap upgrade for us package owners? |
19:10:21 | BigBoss | the bundle price is going to jump to $99.95 when I add the rest of these |
19:10:29 | BigBoss | you already got a 33% discount :) |
19:10:44 | BigBoss | I should think of a way to bundle the new stuff for existing bundle customers |
19:10:50 | peanut | what type of apps? |
19:10:52 | BigBoss | not quite sure how though |
19:11:07 | BigBoss | some will blow your mind, others will just be useful, but I don't like to preannounce stuff |
19:11:31 | kergoth | BigBoss: nice, looking forward to them |
19:11:33 | kergoth | hey max |
19:11:38 | msmax | hi |
19:11:46 | BigBoss | hi max |
19:11:54 | BigBoss | did you see the email about kivio mp yet? |
19:12:04 | msmax | yes, send answer |
19:12:46 | BigBoss | did you include me? |
19:14:02 | finkployd | BigBoss: I'd pay for a 3270 Client on the Z :) |
19:14:22 | BigBoss | 3270? what is that, an IBM terminal type or something? |
19:14:34 | finkployd | BigBoss: yup |
19:14:40 | finkployd | Mainframe terminal |
19:15:16 | Neo|Work | how about tektronix support? :-)) |
19:15:32 | finkployd | Unfrotunatly it requires 80x25 characters, so I can't use my console one |
19:15:37 | BigBoss | a friend of mines software company does IBM emulators, www.minisoft.com |
19:16:28 | finkployd | A signal strength meter for wireless cards would kick ass on the Z... |
19:16:58 | kergoth | finkployd: yeah a few developers are working on that, iirc |
19:17:00 | finkployd | and enable us to once and for all settle the debate over which is the best card to use |
19:17:14 | Neo|Work | heh |
19:17:28 | finkployd | I have one as a dock applet for windowmaker, shouldn't take much to port it |
19:17:32 | Neo|Work | waits for his Visor Edge to charge |
19:17:56 | finkployd | A non-binary bettery meter would also be appreciated :) |
19:18:01 | finkployd | battery |
19:18:20 | BigBoss | in this case "bettery" is appropriate :) |
19:18:28 | finkployd | heh |
19:18:32 | kergoth | finkployd: ? what do you mean non binary? |
19:18:46 | finkployd | It has two settings. Full or 25% |
19:18:56 | kergoth | ah |
19:18:57 | kergoth | hehe |
19:18:59 | finkployd | I've never once seen any other value for it |
19:19:01 | Neo|Work | sure it's not just the battery that has such characteristics? |
19:19:01 | kergoth | that does get annoying |
19:19:21 | Neo|Work | i.e some batteries have more or less a square charge curve (i.e full or "empty") |
19:19:41 | finkployd | I suppose it could be the battery, but then I've never seen any other PDA that does that. |
19:19:55 | finkployd | Even my Palm III could give me an accurate reading on my AAA batteries |
19:19:57 | Neo|Work | is just guessing. |
19:20:12 | peanut | JasonNJ: whats your take on the battery issue |
19:20:28 | Neo|Work | well, normal non-rechargable batteries usually wouldn't have that issue I believe |
19:20:31 | Neo|Work | but I'm jus guessing |
19:20:32 | BigBoss | jason is probably in a meeting :) |
19:20:49 | BigBoss | gotta run - I'll be back in a bit |
19:20:52 | Neo|Work | any word on the announcement for the beta submissions btw? |
19:23:48 | finkployd | is away: |
19:32:22 | Hellaenergy | How long does it take once the Palm and the z notice eachothers irDa sig to shake hands? |
19:33:27 | Hellaenergy | I just tried syncing with a CASIOPEDA PockPC and it seems like the casio could smell the z but it does nothing. |
19:33:56 | Hellaenergy | At least not for like 2-3min. After that I gave up. |
19:35:09 | BigBoss | i'm back 0 did anyone miss me? |
19:37:04 | Neo|Work | as always... :-_ |
19:37:08 | Neo|Work | gah. :-P |
19:37:34 | JasonNJ | anyone want to test out a developer CD ISO? |
19:37:41 | JasonNJ | its a real raw initial release of tools and stuff. |
19:37:52 | JasonNJ | basically a compliation of what is online. |
19:37:54 | peanut | will take a look.. where is it? |
19:38:06 | BigBoss | is this the distro one you wanted to do or just the tools? |
19:38:08 | JasonNJ | http://www.zauruszone.com/files/devcd021102.iso |
19:38:09 | Hellaenergy | sure |
19:38:29 | zero1 | hello all |
19:38:36 | JasonNJ | 181MB |
19:38:39 | zero1 | i have a question and i don't know who else to ask |
19:38:49 | Hellaenergy | Thanks for the warnning |
19:39:09 | BigBoss | jason: is there a list of what is on it somewhere? |
19:39:42 | zero1 | i'm trying to figure out how to create/make/get a *S.so file for libmyodbc.so |
19:39:47 | Neo|Work | JasonNJ: eek, relatively slow download speeds for me - 10K/sec or so |
19:39:53 | zero1 | a libmyodbcS.so |
19:40:04 | zero1 | anyone know what i need? i'd appricate the help |
19:40:42 | zero1 | they call it a setup library, but i have no idea what that is |
19:41:36 | JasonNJ | BigBoss: thres a a readme file on the ISO |
19:41:51 | JasonNJ | this is a very preliminary release |
19:42:07 | JasonNJ | just something I whipped up so sharp can send it out to some premier accounts |
19:42:17 | JasonNJ | and its the basis for what I am working on for Javaone |
19:43:12 | JasonNJ | I'll post the readme on ZaurusZone with the link |

19:54:03 | peanut | zzone is dogging big time |
19:54:06 | Neo|Work | oh, I give up. too slow. 5d now. |
19:56:36 | Neo|Work | say whatever you want about Palm' |
19:56:48 | Neo|Work | devices. The Visor Edge is really slick |
19:58:25 | BigBoss | I still have my original visor from when they first shipped |
19:58:27 | BigBoss | i love it |
19:58:38 | finkployd | Ok, feature request, Jason: |
20:00:09 | finkployd | When a CF wireless card is in, there should be some way to easily toggle it on or off (for power consumption reasons). I know I can click the card icon to shut it off, but I should also be able to turn it back one easier than going to the terminal and typing "cardctl insert" |
20:00:46 | finkployd | Maybe if I could set the CF icon to be always there and let me insert/remove it by clicking on it |
20:01:23 | dkl | have Eject Card change to Insert Card depending on it's status |
20:01:44 | peanut | dkl: that won't work either.. |
20:01:47 | finkployd | exactly |
20:01:51 | peanut | just pulls the card out a little and puts it back in |
20:02:01 | dkl | oh ok |
20:02:30 | finkployd | That works but it looks silly to be doing that in a meeting. Plus I imagine it isn't good for either the card or socket to be constantly doing thayt |
20:02:37 | peanut | probably not.. |
20:02:45 | peanut | its not a perfect solution. |
20:03:04 | Neo|Work | BigBoss: have a deluxe and now the edge |
20:03:26 | peanut | it is doable mind you.. |
20:03:32 | finkployd | What is wrong with having a stop/start card option when you click on the CF icon |
20:03:32 | peanut | but would require retraining users :) |
20:03:33 | Neo|Work | the edge is so much cooler looking than the deluxe (and smaller). Plus it's metal and have a nice screen cover which also protects from accidently pressing the power button |
20:06:07 | Fastolfe | hello everybody |
20:06:13 | BigBoss | hey |
20:08:09 | peanut | yawns.. |
20:09:09 | ljp_work | hi Fatie |
20:09:14 | ljp_work | err Fastie |
20:09:17 | ljp_work | heh |
20:09:40 | peanut | hehe |
20:10:50 | Fastolfe | :) |
20:10:51 | kergoth | heh |
20:10:53 | kergoth | sup Fastolfe |
20:11:58 | finkployd | should learn morse code and try for his ham radio license |
20:12:05 | finkployd | I've been meaning to do that for years |
20:12:20 | Fastolfe | yeah |
20:12:41 | finkployd | maybe somebody (hint) could write a morse code training program for the Z :) |
20:12:41 | Fastolfe | It's easy, especially 5wpm |
20:13:01 | Fastolfe | Somebody should do that indeede ;-) |
20:13:12 | ljp_work | that's funny that you still need morse code to get a ham license.. |
20:13:27 | finkployd | ljp_work: actually, you don't |
20:13:29 | Fastolfe | you don't |
20:13:34 | Fastolfe | only certain license |
20:13:35 | Fastolfe | only certain licenses |
20:13:44 | ljp_work | hmm.. ahh |
20:13:55 | finkployd | You can get a Tech license without one, I think you can also get a Novice license without it, you just can't use some of the cooler bands |
20:14:03 | finkployd | Morse code is still important |
20:14:27 | Fastolfe | I'm not using amateurs bands at all anymore with morse :) |
20:14:53 | Fastolfe | My hobby these days is modulating under 30KHz |
20:15:04 | Fastolfe | which is free |
20:15:45 | ljp_work | can't beat free modulation! |
20:22:44 | BigBoss | is away since 12:26:58 PM - automagically set away after 10 min idling. Msglog [ON] |
20:22:54 | BigBoss | is back |
20:26:24 | Mallory | is front. |
20:26:30 | Mallory | Does $135 for a 128mb SD card sound good? |
20:26:44 | Mallory | I've been looking on and off. I think it's really time I inveseted in one... |
20:27:09 | BigBoss | not really |
20:29:53 | Mallory | I'll keep looking. :) |
20:32:10 | mtm | Mallory: you should be able to get 256 for that price |
20:32:39 | mtm | Mallory: oh, wait |
20:32:42 | Hellaenergy | Anyone else getting spammed by Ray Santiago's [Zaurus-qtopia]fwd: Screwed up 1.11 ROM installation.................. Email? |
20:32:43 | mtm | Mallory: you said sd |
20:33:02 | mtm | Mallory: I was thinking CF. That might not be bad for SD. |
20:33:16 | Mallory | Yeah, I already have a 128mb CF |
20:33:53 | whardier | hi |
20:34:12 | mtm | Mallory: you might actually want to look for MMC (the non-secure SD) |
20:34:26 | whardier | it is less.. suck |
20:34:27 | mtm | Mallory: I think it's a little cheaper, and the Z doesn't use the secure part of it anyhow |
20:34:55 | whardier | Q: how is it secure? |
20:35:16 | mtm | whardier: no clue |
20:35:27 | mtm | not sure if it's in the drivers or in the hardware itself |
20:35:28 | whardier | I mean.. not like you pass it a code |
20:35:31 | mtm | some sort of encryption |
20:35:34 | whardier | ok |
20:35:37 | whardier | but where is the key? |
20:35:41 | mtm | dunno |
20:35:45 | mtm | guess the drivers |
20:35:46 | whardier | this cunfuses me greatly |
20:35:47 | kergoth | whardier: i have a rootfs skeleton put together that boots on the Z using jffs2.. very minimal. shortly i'll have the buildsystem actually producing a usable jffs2 rootfs. |
20:35:54 | mtm | like with DVDs |
20:35:58 | whardier | kergoth you are my main man man |
20:36:06 | whardier | I should be able to do more OZ stuff now |
20:36:26 | whardier | I was just told that for my personal health and the PC of everybody.. I should work remotely for a few weeks |
20:36:34 | kergoth | whardier: once ive gotten that far with the buildsystem, i'm going to work on getting the jffs2 bootstrap image put together to load familiar on a Z, cuz thatd be nifty. |
20:36:36 | whardier | remotely for me is a straight 802.11b back to work :) |
20:36:46 | kergoth | whardier: eh thats messed up. they not liking you at this point? |
20:36:50 | whardier | well |
20:36:53 | whardier | two people hate my guts |
20:36:58 | whardier | cause they are perfectionists |
20:37:16 | whardier | and do not understand why I could not work on stuff back home when I was in alaska.. when the network on the island was down |
20:37:18 | BigBoss | is away since 12:41:32 PM - automagically set away after 10 min idling. Msglog [ON] |
20:37:18 | whardier | it makes no sense |
20:37:20 | kergoth | hah |
20:37:21 | whardier | and they are bitter |
20:37:21 | kergoth | fools |
20:37:43 | whardier | I wonder what kind of perfect plan perfectionists have for when their perfection goofs |
20:37:56 | whardier | it seems to me that perfectionists are highly unstable |
20:38:05 | whardier | I think we should have a government quarentine |
20:38:27 | whardier | kergoth where is your work atm? |
20:38:45 | kergoth | what company? |
20:39:07 | whardier | for OZ |
20:39:43 | kergoth | ah ic |
20:40:04 | kergoth | well oz 2.6 is /home/kergoth/roms/oldbuild/root_cramfs-beta2.6 or something like that |
20:40:11 | whardier | and the new kernel? |
20:40:14 | kergoth | the buildsystem is /home/kergoth/roms/buildroot-oz/ |
20:40:24 | kergoth | 'make linux' in the buildsystem dir creates a jffs2 capable kernel |
20:40:35 | whardier | with smallfonts + stuff? |
20:40:38 | kergoth | cp -a buildroot-oz into your working area and mess with it there |
20:40:41 | kergoth | smallfonts isnt added yet |
20:40:45 | kergoth | thats on my todo list |
20:40:48 | whardier | what is added |
20:40:51 | whardier | is it plain atm? |
20:41:07 | kergoth | well, plain + bzflag's jffs2 patch, iirc |
20:41:16 | kergoth | check out configs/linux.mk in the buildroot-oz dir |
20:41:35 | whardier | neat |
20:42:16 | whardier | this cobolt qube is neat |
20:42:28 | whardier | I am trying to get ahold of the person who made the kernel.. so I can make another one |
20:42:39 | whardier | they left out a hell of a lot of stuff |
20:42:58 | whardier | its just scary that my pda is only 50mips slower |
20:42:59 | kergoth | ah yeah, ive worked with those boxes. pretty nifty. |
20:43:02 | kergoth | hah |
20:43:13 | whardier | kergoth this one we stole from alaska |
20:43:15 | dragorn | whardier: Not measuring that off bogomips I hope |
20:43:18 | whardier | first I loaded netbsd on it |
20:43:24 | whardier | then I got bored |
20:43:28 | whardier | and found a debian-cobolt image |
20:43:34 | whardier | so I installed that |
20:43:36 | whardier | and it is 2.4.5 |
20:43:42 | whardier | much better than 2.0.3x that was on it |
20:43:50 | whardier | but a little slower than netbsd |
20:44:17 | whardier | bogomips on risc systems are almost too acurate to the actual mhz |
20:44:53 | BZFlag | kergoth: smallfonts (my patch ;-) should add right in. just edit the linux.mk. |
20:44:55 | dragorn | Bogomips are worthless on any system, and doubly so cross-platform. |
20:45:02 | BZFlag | want me to do that as well? |
20:45:11 | kergoth | BZFlag: yeah, i was gonna do that but havent had time |
20:45:28 | kergoth | BZFlag: if you'd like, doesnt matter to me really :-) |
20:45:42 | BZFlag | whardier: got a qube huh? I've just put one up running 2.4.5 and debian-mips. |
20:46:24 | whardier | BZFlag MEE TOO! |
20:46:37 | whardier | I did that a whole of.. yesterday |
20:46:46 | whardier | I spent 2 hours making a serial cable :) |
20:47:01 | whardier | then I spent 2 hours cursing at the netbsd netboot |
20:47:09 | whardier | then I spent 2 hours installing netbsd correctly |
20:47:15 | whardier | then I said.. this is neat |
20:47:19 | whardier | it runs fast |
20:47:20 | whardier | oh look |
20:47:23 | whardier | debian-cobolt |
20:47:36 | whardier | then I spent 10 minutes untarring debian-cobolt into /dev/hda1 |
20:47:38 | whardier | then it booted |
20:47:43 | whardier | then I cursed some more |
20:47:49 | whardier | that I should have just done that with netbsd |
20:48:16 | whardier | either way.. netbsd has a much smaller fanbase and I was having issues even finding resources that could anser my newbie questinos |
20:48:41 | BZFlag | fixed the rtc yet? |
20:48:49 | whardier | that was in the kernel |
20:49:14 | BZFlag | it's somewhat broken. there is a rtc.o there, but it won't load. |
20:49:14 | whardier | there is a debian-cobolt sourceforge project with no files |
20:49:27 | whardier | so I dont know what kernel configs they had going on.. including patches |
20:49:34 | whardier | but I need to add ipfilter and sockets |
20:49:34 | BZFlag | librt.so causes seg-faults. that's why ls dies. |
20:49:44 | whardier | BZFlag I fixed that .. sorta |
20:49:47 | whardier | apt-get install busybox |
20:49:51 | BZFlag | heh |
20:49:58 | whardier | I was tired of sleep and ls not working |
20:50:12 | BZFlag | I copied ls,ntpdate and tar from the old cobalt stuff. |
20:50:14 | whardier | you would not happen to have a librt bin laying around that works? |
20:50:24 | BZFlag | I'd like to fit librt though. |
20:50:25 | whardier | oh ntpdate worked! |
20:50:29 | whardier | I was rather shocked |
20:50:50 | BZFlag | apt-get install ntpdate - then ntpdate nic.near.net - segfaulted for me. same cause. |
20:51:04 | whardier | try bigben.cac.washington.edu </joke> |
20:51:08 | whardier | brb.. left mtn dew in car |
20:53:09 | BZFlag | whardier: well. more qube talk in #linux-mips if you like. |
20:53:18 | whardier | haha |
20:53:21 | whardier | that makes sense |
21:05:35 | whardier | WOW |
21:05:40 | whardier | a QT EBAY AUCTION TOOL! |
21:05:50 | whardier | would be a neat thing to have/program |
21:14:04 | Trisk[awaay] | yup.. |
21:27:55 | JasonNJ | anyone test out my developer cd yet? |
21:28:32 | finkployd | JasonNJ: developer cd? |
21:28:42 | JasonNJ | when you install the rpm versions of the toolchain where does RPM put it |
21:28:46 | JasonNJ | finkployd: see zauruszone |
21:28:52 | finkployd | gotcha |
21:28:55 | kergoth | JasonNJ: /opt/Embedix |
21:29:24 | kergoth | woot. the buildsystem finally produces a jffs2 root image that actually works on the Z. took long enough |
21:29:25 | kergoth | heh |
21:30:17 | JasonNJ | kergoth: ok I have the libs, the cross compilers, and the headers installed. anything else I gotta do to get my environment setup besides the qtopia sdk?? |
21:30:26 | JasonNJ | I want to start building some code from the contest. |
21:30:31 | JasonNJ | I'm kinda behind. |
21:30:48 | kergoth | JasonNJ: just need to make sure your environment variables are set right |
21:33:01 | finkployd | these rpms will not screw up my current system in any way, right? |
21:40:17 | whardier | OK.. its time fooooor "Whardiers unreasonable request of the day!!" |
21:40:19 | whardier | you guys ready? |
21:41:36 | finkployd | already made his unreasonable request |
21:41:57 | finkployd | all I have left is a constant bitch about the battery meter :) |
21:42:02 | whardier | well.. how about a Dual 100bt eepro100 CF card |
21:42:18 | whardier | do you know how much fun that would be |
21:42:31 | whardier | with a MTI switch on it |
21:42:33 | whardier | hehe |
21:42:33 | whardier | wow |
21:42:36 | whardier | that would be fun |
21:43:08 | finkployd | has had bad luck with linux and eepro cards |
21:44:07 | mandrake | actually, providing you're using the drivers that dragan worked on you should be okay. |
21:44:40 | mandrake | the problem with eepro cards tend to be more that people put stuff returning wrong version information from them |
21:44:53 | mandrake | which there are tons of specific workarounds for different versions of them |
21:45:18 | whardier | I got used to a dual eepro100 card we were working with in alaska |
21:45:24 | whardier | they worked wonderfully for bridging |
21:45:36 | whardier | now I want something with two nics on it for CF |
21:45:49 | whardier | so I can go into somebody's business |
21:45:54 | whardier | patch in to the single line going to the router |
21:46:05 | whardier | and tell everybody who is looking at porn ATM |
21:46:08 | whardier | hehe |
21:46:19 | whardier | ntop is some evil ass shit |
21:46:22 | mandrake | whardier: wouldn't you rather do it at your firewall? |
21:46:40 | whardier | mandrake anywhere where there is a single line going to the rest of the network really |
21:46:51 | mandrake | whardier: I mean, instead of on an ipaq. |
21:46:54 | whardier | haha |
21:46:57 | mandrake | or zaurus or whatnot |
21:46:59 | whardier | the point is to impress people |
21:47:08 | whardier | look.. my pda is routing all your traffic |
21:47:27 | whardier | look.. bob on bobscom.domain.com is looking at thehun.net |
21:47:42 | whardier | look.. I can spy on all outgoing email streams |
21:47:53 | whardier | you know.. fun stuff like that :) |
21:48:12 | whardier | hey mandrake did E ever get ported to SA? |
21:48:39 | mandrake | 'ported' ? |
21:48:42 | whardier | sorry |
21:48:44 | whardier | xcompiled |
21:49:01 | mandrake | I wrote some workarounds for the crappy crossbreed load that they had on the original netwinder back in 98 or so |
21:49:06 | mandrake | (I've still got one at home) |
21:49:10 | whardier | just bought a netwinder |
21:49:23 | whardier | on ebay |
21:49:23 | whardier | heh |
21:49:34 | mandrake | there is a pic somewhere holdon |
21:49:38 | whardier | cool |
21:49:45 | whardier | also are you involved with Evas as well? |
21:49:51 | whardier | I do not follow the credits all that often |
21:50:22 | mandrake | http://mandrake.net/images/corel.e.jpg |
21:50:23 | whardier | we have a public access channel on an island in alaska.. we were gonna use either SDL or evas for it |
21:50:31 | mandrake | yeah I did some work on evas and imlib2 |
21:50:41 | mandrake | I wrote a text rendering engine (etox) that runs atop evas, too |
21:50:43 | bipolar | whardier: my Eva is in my secret underground cave under Long Island. It's the only way I can get enough power to it. |
21:50:51 | bipolar | hehe |
21:51:04 | whardier | bipolar are you running power coils near the subways? |
21:51:15 | bipolar | hehehe |
21:51:32 | whardier | mandrake well it was the text rendering that we were most interested in.. |
21:51:44 | mandrake | whardier: etox. |
21:51:45 | whardier | god damn.. it feels good to be back home |
21:52:04 | mandrake | built all sorts of interesting stuff on top of evas for rendering text. |
21:52:05 | whardier | mandrake: spiffy.. that might be just what we need |
21:52:15 | mandrake | and a decent demo app to show it off |
21:52:21 | mandrake | which needs to be reworked a lot |
21:52:25 | whardier | mandrake feel like getting sub pixel rendering working in libqt/qpe? |
21:52:27 | whardier | hahaha |
21:52:44 | mandrake | I'm not a big fan of Qt, after having used it for about a month or so. |
21:52:44 | whardier | ist the perfect job for the king of eye candy |
21:53:07 | mandrake | it's seriously obtuse in some pretty basic ways. |
21:53:32 | whardier | I did a small amount of testing with sub pixel stuff |
21:53:47 | whardier | basically comes down to.. I need a microscope for confirming results |
21:53:52 | mandrake | I mean, even after I get over having not used C++ much in over 10 years |
21:54:19 | bipolar_away | is away: I'm not here... Really.... |
21:54:24 | whardier | mandrake: I was new to C++ before the QT contest |
21:54:28 | scanline | is back (gone 03:06:30) |
21:55:11 | mandrake | I entered an app into that contest. |
21:55:12 | whardier | watches more Blue Seed |
21:55:22 | mandrake | http://mandrake.net/images/kutabi.jpg |
21:55:34 | whardier | mandrake I decided to work on OZ instead of write an app |
21:55:49 | mandrake | it reads text aloud to you |
21:55:57 | whardier | heyyy... |
21:56:00 | whardier | thats clever |
21:56:02 | whardier | mbrola? |
21:56:05 | kergoth | mandrake: that app looks quite nifty |
21:56:12 | kergoth | heh |
21:56:32 | whardier | damn |
21:56:32 | mandrake | it's what we use to showcase our technology now |
21:56:40 | whardier | you don't live to far away from work do you bzflag |
21:58:09 | mandrake | but I use the ipaq to demo since the zaurus doesn't have a builtin speaker |
21:59:20 | scanline | is away: back to the wet room |
21:59:21 | whardier | mandrake: :( |
21:59:24 | whardier | that is soo true |
21:59:25 | whardier | has a Z |
21:59:27 | whardier | it does not speak |
21:59:36 | whardier | however ESD worked great on it :) |
21:59:47 | whardier | I was using that to replace my broken alarm clock for a while :) |
22:01:55 | BZFlag | whardier: heh, nope. ;-) |
22:11:38 | whardier | anyways.. I hurt a lot of peoples feelings at one contract by leaving for a month to go to alaska |
22:12:00 | whardier | because somebody could not check there mail and I was unavailable |
22:12:04 | whardier | there were lots of harch feelings |
22:12:10 | whardier | turns out it was not my fault |
22:13:16 | whardier | turns out it was not my fault |
22:13:17 | whardier | err |
22:13:21 | whardier | sorry. wifi error |
22:13:33 | whardier | but PR said I might be best working remotely for a week or two |
22:13:43 | whardier | apparently some people wanna break my legs |
22:14:09 | whardier | and have never met my very shinie collection of large metal sharp pokie thingies |
22:15:38 | binary | excuse my non-zaurus question but i need to downgrade my gcc to 2.95 (from 2.96)......but kernel-source is tied to it - can I remove kernel source as well? |
22:16:41 | binary | i have the 2.95 version, im just removing 2.96 beforehand |
22:18:23 | kergoth | binary: if you dont need the kernel source, remove the kernel source, otherwise install 2.95 first |
22:18:32 | kergoth | binary: btw this is probably a question for #linusers or #redhat |
22:18:46 | binary | linusers or linuxusers? |
22:19:31 | kergoth | hell i dont remember.. never actually been there |
22:19:33 | kergoth | hehe |
22:19:36 | binary | hehe |
22:19:39 | kergoth | go to the channel for your linux distro |
22:19:40 | binary | trial and error then |
22:20:10 | whardier | Augh |
22:20:11 | whardier | damnit |

22:20:30 | whardier | it is becoming my gateway it looks like |
22:20:48 | whardier | my gateway is suffering from HD disorder |
22:21:43 | kergoth | so clean it up |
22:21:44 | kergoth | heh |
22:22:06 | whardier | well |
22:22:08 | whardier | its bad blocking |

22:30:58 | scanline | is back (gone 00:31:39) |
22:48:13 | scribe | Hey guys. Did anyone get confirmation that their app was submitted for the contest? Any word on when finalists will be picked? |
22:55:34 | Neo|Work | scribe: you got an automated email after you submitted, haven't heard anything on finalists |
22:55:37 | Neo|Work | or when |
22:55:43 | whardier | I never got anything |
22:55:47 | whardier | should bother kergoth about that |
22:56:42 | kergoth | about what? |
22:56:42 | kergoth | heh |
22:56:47 | whardier | are we "both entered" |
22:56:52 | whardier | or are we making a personal agreement? |
22:57:06 | kergoth | ah, jason mentioned that there was no way to enter us both on the same project |
22:57:09 | kergoth | so its a personal agreement |
22:57:11 | whardier | ok |
22:57:15 | whardier | I am sure it will be reasonable |
22:57:22 | whardier | you have spent much more time on it recently |
22:57:56 | whardier | if it wins the $10,000.. I only want enough to cover my bills.. which is around $9,999 |
22:58:02 | whardier | :) |
22:58:08 | kergoth | yeah, but im not going to exclude you from the project. i agreed that you were a maintainer on the project as well early on. so no worries |
22:58:09 | kergoth | heh |
22:58:10 | kergoth | hah |
22:58:31 | whardier | I am drinkin again |
22:58:32 | mark_ | which category have you put it in? |
22:58:33 | whardier | damnit |
22:58:37 | whardier | mark_: * |
22:58:57 | mark_ | whardier: hehe. packaged it into a .ipk and .rpm? =) |
22:59:06 | whardier | ask k |
22:59:10 | whardier | I think tar.gz |
22:59:12 | whardier | and emailed |
22:59:23 | whardier | boots up linux on his dreamcast |
22:59:24 | whardier | brb |
22:59:27 | mark_ | ipkg install openzaurus |
22:59:30 | mark_ | hehe |
22:59:32 | mark_ | c ya all |
22:59:55 | kergoth | .zip and emailed. they emailed back confirming that it was in the contest |
22:59:57 | kergoth | heh |
23:00:01 | whardier | ok.. I seem to have this fetish with getting linux to run on different platforms |
23:00:03 | kergoth | and they finally sent me my damned members password |
23:00:10 | whardier | and now that I know bsd's WAY |
23:00:13 | whardier | I am gonna get it working on a power2 |
23:04:03 | whardier | maximus is my cats name |
23:04:14 | whardier | I call him maximus pussy cat |
23:04:44 | kergoth | heh |
23:04:56 | kergoth | did i tell you max sent us the QStyle that theKompany uses in their apps? |
23:05:05 | whardier | neat |
23:05:08 | whardier | whats it look like? |
23:05:19 | kergoth | bigboss approved its use in opie, so i pulled it into my local tree |
23:05:36 | whardier | is it spiffy? |
23:05:41 | whardier | I want the aqua qstyle |
23:05:47 | whardier | so I can make darqaqua |
23:06:16 | kergoth | http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/ |
23:06:23 | kergoth | they have screenshots on their pages |
23:06:42 | kergoth | the style has a windows xp-like feel. its pretty nifty. |
23:07:05 | whardier | carso huge ass and ugly? |
23:07:34 | kergoth | hah |
23:07:34 | kergoth | no |
23:07:39 | kergoth | its not bad at all |
23:07:47 | kergoth | you should keep up with the developments in opie |
23:07:54 | whardier | http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/tkcjabber/_img/screenshots/status_menu.png |
23:08:01 | whardier | kergoth that I should |
23:08:09 | kergoth | ljp's screenshots applet is useful, and part of opie |
23:08:16 | kergoth | there's a new opiemail app being done by zecke |
23:08:26 | wudoo | can i install zaurus on ipaq? |
23:08:32 | Neo|Work | So opie is OpenZaurus? |
23:08:34 | kergoth | wudoo: zaurus is a pda |
23:08:40 | kergoth | opie is the version of qtopia that openzaurus uses |
23:09:05 | wudoo | but i mean zaurus version of ilnux |
23:09:10 | wudoo | linux |
23:09:28 | kergoth | wudoo: zaurus uses the embedix linux distro. you dont want that on your ipaq |
23:09:40 | wudoo | then |
23:09:44 | wudoo | what i want ? |
23:09:44 | kergoth | wudoo: id recommend familiar with opie. see #familiar for further assistance. |
23:09:58 | wudoo | i installed familiar |
23:10:03 | whardier | my cat is sitting on my knive |
23:10:03 | wudoo | and qtopia 1.5 |
23:10:06 | wudoo | or smthn |
23:10:06 | whardier | damnit |
23:10:09 | kergoth | wudoo: k, then what do you need? |
23:10:13 | wudoo | amm |
23:10:15 | wudoo | browser |
23:10:19 | kergoth | wudoo: thats functionally equivalent to whats on the Z |
23:10:20 | wudoo | and mail client |
23:10:26 | kergoth | wudoo: go install konqueror/embedded |
23:10:37 | wudoo | what about mail? |
23:10:38 | kergoth | wudoo: and switch to opie instead of qtopia, which includes an email application |
23:10:44 | wudoo | opie? |
23:10:55 | kergoth | wudoo: http://opie.handhelds.org/ |
23:11:12 | wudoo | ok let me check |
23:11:16 | kergoth | wudoo: uninstall qtopia and add the opie feed to your ipaq, then install it. its just qtopia with some enhancements |
23:11:49 | kergoth | whardier: what about that screenshot? i mean, why'd you paste it to me ? |
23:11:50 | kergoth | heh |
23:12:20 | wudoo | kergoth: ok ill try |
23:12:21 | Neo|Work | does opie only included open source apps? |
23:12:32 | wudoo | tnx |
23:12:33 | kergoth | Neo|Work: yes |
23:12:48 | Neo|Work | ok. Later perhaps it can include eDict. :P |
23:12:49 | kergoth | Neo|Work: openzaurus will include closed source apps in the rom, but opie itself is solely open source |
23:12:55 | kergoth | Neo|Work: that your project? |
23:13:03 | Neo|Work | yah. the dictionary client |
23:13:31 | kergoth | ah cool. we'd be willing to include it.. not sure whether it should be a core or a non core application, but there can at least be a relationship with opie to edict at the very least |
23:13:32 | wudoo | btw |
23:13:53 | wudoo | when i run linux on ipaq it use much more energy than with win ce |
23:13:55 | kergoth | Neo|Work: email me the info on the project. appropriate urls, etc. and check out #opie as well. (kergoth@digitalnemesis.net) |
23:14:05 | wudoo | can i fix this? |
23:14:15 | kergoth | wudoo: why are you asking in here? |
23:14:30 | wudoo | eee:) sorry |
23:14:32 | kergoth | wudoo: this channel is for the zaurus pda, not the ipaq. see #familiar for help with familiar. |
23:16:00 | Neo|Work | kergoth: it's not "done" enough yet. I.e there's no page, no dist, no nothing. :) |
23:16:29 | kergoth | Neo|Work: k, well keep opie in mind, we may want to include it or at least establish a relationship with it |
23:17:22 | wudoo | kergoth: how can i use latin2 keyboard in opie? |
23:17:26 | Neo|Work | I will.. It'll be announced when I believe it to be stable enough |
23:17:42 | kergoth | thats cool |
23:18:31 | kergoth | wudoo: i believe opie has i18n support. i've never done much with that. you may want to ask how to use a latin2 keyboard in qtopia in #familiar. since opie is based on qtopia |
23:23:42 | whardier | HAHA |
23:23:50 | kergoth | whardier: ? |
23:23:59 | whardier | my dreamcast is running X |
23:24:02 | whardier | HAHA |
23:24:03 | kergoth | nice |
23:24:15 | kergoth | arent dreamcasts like 50 bucks/ i should pick one up |
23:24:15 | kergoth | hehe |
23:24:46 | whardier | haha |
23:24:48 | whardier | its funny |
23:25:07 | kergoth | i want linux on my tv too |
23:25:08 | kergoth | :-) |
23:25:10 | kergoth | heh |
23:25:14 | kergoth | yawns |
23:25:16 | whardier | 16 megs of ram baby |
23:28:24 | scanline | is away: ZzZzZzzzzz |
23:31:06 | xxL | kergoth: I got the impression python 2.x is included in OZ. is that so ? |
23:31:48 | kergoth | xxL: yes |
23:32:00 | xxL | and is PyQt included as well ? |
23:32:42 | kergoth | xxL: not yet, it will be in oz 3 |
23:32:53 | xxL | cool, just wanted to make sure :) |
23:32:58 | xxL | thx |
23:33:10 | kergoth | np |
23:33:34 | xxL | is there any way pyqt could make it into sharp |
23:33:38 | xxL | 's roms ? |
23:33:57 | whardier | we dunno |
23:33:57 | kergoth | xxL: ask jason. i dont work for sharp |
23:33:59 | kergoth | heh |
23:34:23 | xxL | jasonnj: ? |
23:35:16 | finkployd | Actually, I personally would prefer that sharp start pulling stuff OUT of it's roms and make them downloadable (like most of the apps) |
23:35:20 | finkployd | but that is just me :) |
23:35:32 | kergoth | finkployd: the sharp rom's root fs isnt writable |
23:35:43 | kergoth | finkployd: so every package installed extra is in ram.. the home fs |
23:35:50 | xxL | agree |
23:36:41 | finkployd | I understand, but one would have more ram if sharp would make the rom as small as possible and let you install only what you want right? |
23:36:46 | kergoth | no. |
23:37:02 | kergoth | the rom is 16 megs. period. its flash, you dont get extra ram if its not used, you get nothing. |
23:37:21 | kergoth | you want to make optimal use of the flash, by using it for as much as possible |
23:37:28 | xxL | so the more goes into rom the better |
23:37:31 | kergoth | precisely |
23:37:58 | finkployd | I thought that there was 32MB of space, that could be paritioned up as Sharp pleased (thus the two 1.1x roms) |
23:37:59 | xxL | wonders if the xmame and pose ports would fit into the rom :) |
23:38:05 | kergoth | finkployd: no |
23:38:25 | finkployd | Oh, then I'm way off in how I thought this worked. Sorry :) |
23:38:33 | kergoth | finkployd: 16 megs flashrom, 32 megs of RAM. part of that RAM is essentially a ramdisk whose contents are not lost on reboot, hence /home |
23:39:48 | finkployd | I see |
23:40:31 | finkployd | So does the sharp rom use the entire 16 MB of the flashrom right now? I only ask because I know they plan to add the Hancom office stuff at some point |
23:40:46 | kergoth | they use like 13.5 megs of the total 14.5, iirc |
23:40:57 | kergoth | finkployd: they've had the hancom stuff in a prerelease rom, it fit |
23:41:37 | finkployd | I know, I got one at Linuxworld. I remember it only leaving me with about 7MB of "disk space" ram or so |
23:41:56 | kergoth | yeah it had an altered heap ratio just like the 1.11 rom |
23:42:03 | finkployd | I see |
23:43:06 | finkployd | I'm using 1.10 right now but I'm wondering if 1.11 might be a better choice since the only extra packages I install are ssh and zic, and all my documents are on either the SD or CF cards |
23:43:41 | kergoth | ic.. i like 1.11 cuz i use a fair amount of ram |
23:43:44 | finkployd | And I have hit "out of memory" errors at times. Especialy web browsing |
23:44:37 | finkployd | I could install 1.11 and do a "restore" with the qtopia desktop and get all my contacts, databook entries, etc stuff back right? |
23:44:44 | kergoth | in theory |
23:44:54 | finkployd | hmmm, might be worth a try |
23:45:12 | finkployd | Hell, I'm going to have to do that someday, since I don't plan on using 1.1x forever :) |
23:47:58 | finkployd | what the hell, here goes nothing :) |
23:48:24 | finkployd | Incidently, is there any problem with flashing your Z's rom often? |
23:59:33 | kergoth | finkployd: i lost count of how many times ive flashed mine, at least 30 i'm sure |
23:59:33 | kergoth | heh |
23:59:53 | file | lol |
