04:53.58Twiunmornin' all
04:56.05pez2001morning
04:56.20pez2001twiun could you test my finger server port?
04:56.32pez2001finger pez2001@80.134.188.75"
04:56.34pez2001finger pez2001@80.134.188.75
04:57.32Twiunone sec.... need to install finger
04:58.46Twiunhere you go...
04:58.49Twiun[80.134.188.75]
04:58.49TwiunThis is a custom finger server by Mike Shanzer <shanzer@foobar.com>
04:58.49Twiunand Greg A. Woods <woods@planix.com>.
04:58.49TwiunPorted to Zaurus by Tim 'PeZ2001' <feckelburger@gmx.net>
04:58.49Twiun----
04:58.51Twiunthis is the first .plan served from a Zaurus.
04:58.57pez2001cool....
04:58.59Twiunbest add a final <CR> though...
04:59.12pez2001thats what i wanted to see
05:00.55pez2001added ;-))
05:01.01Twiuncool ;-)
05:01.17pez2001i really would like to package this port....
05:01.42pez2001but i never did that before .... sad story - i know ;-)
05:02.25pez2001and how cool is syslog imho.... the remote feature kicks ass...
05:04.56TwiunHehe
05:05.20TwiunI quite like doing "ssh zaurus tail -f somelog"
07:09.16kollaoh.. so that's why there's no pinball for zaurus
07:09.33TheMasterMind1why?
07:14.01JasonNJmorning
07:14.51DaJokermorning JasonNJ
07:14.58Twiunhey Jason
07:15.37Cloudchaser'mornin everyone
07:20.07TheMasterMind1hi
07:21.02zeckehi bipolar
07:21.08zeckebipolar: feel brave?
07:23.31mandrakegood morning
07:24.43bipolarzecke: always! :)
07:24.51bipolarzecke: whats up?
07:24.58zeckebipolar: I think finally one could test KitchenSync
07:25.04bipolarWOOT!
07:25.10zeckebipolar: spend the last days on fxing and rewriting
07:25.16bipolarzecke: but I'd need kde 3.1 for that, right?
07:25.23zeckebipolar: I did not test Category handling
07:25.36zeckebipolar: I think you really need kde3.1
07:25.47bipolarzecke: damn... and sid is waito
07:25.55bipolarzecke: damn... and sid is waiting on a gcc 3.2 doc/plan
07:26.04zecke?
07:26.26bipolarzecke: I don't have a build system for kde 3.1 set up.
07:26.32bipolarzecke: I nee
07:27.06bipolarI need to get 3.1 installed. I wish it was in debain unstable.
07:28.11bipolarzecke: I REALLY want to try that kitchensync out.
07:28.39zeckebipolar: I today made it sync again. Addressbook and Todolist where tested
07:28.54zeckebipolar: but I think it got some failures...
07:29.02bipolarzecke: but it would take a long time to compile kde3.1. Do you know the fastest way to get it up and running?
07:29.14bipolarzecke: you don't run debain by chance, do you? :)
07:29.19zeckesid
07:29.24bipolaryay
07:29.32bipolarzecke: did you build debs?
07:29.39zeckeBut I currently try to switch to gcc3.2...
07:29.43zeckeno no debs
07:29.48zeckeall in /usr/local/qt3
07:29.52zeckeand /usr/local/kde3
07:29.53bipolarzecke: or could you make a tgz? :)
07:30.06zeckeit's gcc2 compiled
07:30.08mandrakeKitchenSync is an actual product name
07:30.13zeckemandrake: where?
07:30.24mandrakeit's the sync device you bought to go with VideoToaster
07:30.41mandrakeunless everybody has forgotten about video toaster :)
07:30.59bipolarmandrake: yep.
07:31.05mandrakeI haven't
07:31.06bipolarmandrake: so has google :)
07:32.06mandraketada
07:32.12mandrakeKitchenSync TBC

07:33.21mandrakeso if this is someone in here's project, I'd suggest renaming it
07:33.43mandrakesince it's not even spelled differently :)
07:33.55mandrakeand it's a fairly popular commercial product :)
07:34.04mandrake(I don't know anyone with a toaster without them)
07:38.35mandrakehttp://amiga.resource.cx/gallery/KitchenSync.jpg
07:38.39mandrakein fact, there's a pic of one :)
07:39.57mandrake<-- fountain of useless knowledge
07:40.37mandrakeof course, now it's quiet in here :)
07:43.50zeckeThe KitchenSync(tm)
07:44.33zeckehttp://www.google.com/search?q=KitchenSync&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
07:44.36mandrakeit is trademarked
07:45.07mandrakezecke: I posted a link to a pic of the device itself (with the trademark notice on the name even)
07:45.41zeckemandrake: 'The KitchenSync(tm)'
07:46.05zeckeAthlon is a oil in France too
07:46.14mandrakedifferent market
07:46.21mandraketrademarks apply only to a particular industry
07:46.40mandrakeHOWEVER, the PC industry is not big enough to have subdivided areas
07:46.51mandrakein fact, even trademark similarity is enough to get you in trouble
07:47.16mandrakecompany I used to work for 'IntelliPlay' got sued by 'InterPlay' for being too similar
07:47.32mandrakeI don't think they would have won, but we settled anyways
07:47.36mandrakecuz it costs money
07:49.11mandrakenot trying to be an ass, just trying to prevent future headaches
07:49.16benmeyerhttp://www.eventhelix.com/RealtimeMantra/Basics/OptimizingCAndCPPCode.htm#Don%27t%20Define%20a%20Return%20Value%20if%20not%20Used
07:49.25benmeyerI am cunfused by ^
07:49.31benmeyerThe called function does not "know" if the return value is being used. So, it will always pass the return value. This return value passing may be avoided by not defining a return value which is not being used.
07:49.50benmeyerDon't define a return value if not used
07:49.57benmeyerin other words set most things to void?
07:50.22mandrakeyour compiler should auto-cast that
07:50.57benmeyer?
07:51.05benmeyercast void to int?
07:51.15benmeyerit is very badly worded
07:51.20mandrakeit means, do something liek (void) callSomeFunction(foo,bar)
07:51.39benmeyerah
07:51.53benmeyerbut gcc automaticly does that you say?
07:52.02mandrakemost compilers do
07:52.04mandrakedunno if gcc does
07:52.13mandrakegcc isn't nearly as big a piece of crap as it was a long time ago
07:52.16benmeyerwhen you call a function and don't put void in front
07:52.17mandrakeso probably
07:52.46mandrakebenmeyer: in theory it allocates return memoryspace anyways
07:52.58mandrakeeven though you're throwing away the result.
07:53.08mandrakebecause the function doesn't know you don't care about the result
07:53.27TheMasterMind1benmeyer: wassup
07:53.31benmeyeryah, so probably a better thing would be to try to make functions not need to return values unless that is the point of a function
07:53.31TheMasterMind1benmeyer: whats new with networksetup
07:53.38benmeyernot much
07:53.44mandrakebenmeyer: error codes are always handy, however.
07:53.45benmeyertracking down contest winners
07:53.50TheMasterMind1why
07:54.09Twiunbenmeyer: great gui layout idea for networksetup: http://www.iarchitect.com/images/mlstab.gif
07:54.30benmeyeryes, but for example a function that would be called when a button is pressed would never be checked so it should always be a void
07:54.40benmeyer(well in qt it is required to be void, but that is something else)
07:54.46bobstaylmao
07:55.12benmeyer<insert swear word of the week>
07:55.33benmeyerIf any of my employees ever made ...
07:56.02benmeyerwell they wouldn't be an employee very long :-0
07:56.40TwiunHehe, that site's examples of bad gui design is hillarious
07:56.43mandrakeoh taht's beautiful
07:56.49mandrakeheh
07:57.00Twiunmandrake: all it's missing are two tab sets at the bottom
07:57.22TheMasterMind1and scrollbars
07:57.35Twiunoh yes, mustn't forget those...
07:57.46Twiunhow about a few 1-line high listboxes?
07:57.49TheMasterMind1heh
07:57.55egorcan the serial port be used as a terminal and logoned into using minicom
07:58.41benmeyeryup
07:58.46benmeyerthere is even a gui app now
07:58.48benmeyeropie-console
07:58.54benmeyer!=konsole
07:59.34egorok thanks i tried zconsole but failed
08:02.41benmeyerbla ui files always generate a deconstructor
08:02.56benmeyeradds to bloat and decreases speed just a tiny amount
08:02.58benmeyerbut still
08:03.32pez2001anyone willing to test an ipk?
08:03.43pez2001freshly made...
08:04.03bobstayof what?
08:04.45pez2001a finger server
08:05.27bobstaypez2001: matte kudasai :)
08:05.54pez2001should run directly after installation...no hassle with inetd ;-)
08:06.08pez2001bobstay: matte kudasai ?
08:07.42bobstaypez2001: wait please :)
08:07.55kollawhat use there with a finger server on the Z?
08:08.06kolla"still logged in"
08:08.42bobstaypez2001: problems:
08:08.43bobstayroot@zaurus /mnt/cf # ipkg install zfinger-server_0.1_arm.ipk
08:08.44bobstayInstalling zfinger-server (0.1)

08:08.45bobstayERROR: zfinger-server.postinst returned 127
08:08.47bobstayroot@zaurus /mnt/cf #
08:08.55bobstaybut that's on the OZ rom
08:08.59bobstayit may work on sharp
08:09.02bobstaytry someone else :)
08:12.43kolla*shrug*
08:12.59bobstayhmm
08:13.08bobstayon openzaurus, there isn't /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet
08:13.13bobstaythere's /etc/init.d/inet
08:13.24bobstayis /etc/init.d symlinked to /etc/rc.d/init.d on the sharp rom?
08:13.43bobstayif so, you might want to make it call /etc/init.d/inet for greater compatibility
08:15.41kollarx "address tcp-stack 'service add finger stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/etc/tcpd in.fingerd'"
08:20.39kollabut I'm dreaming
08:21.12kollano funny way to address commands on linux
08:21.43kollaaddress programs, or kernel or whatever
08:22.58kolla</rant>
08:23.08BigBossdarn, missed it
08:23.14kolla:)
08:23.14Wintrebigboss: Not really
08:23.49pez2001phone ;-)
08:24.04kollaBigBoss: I was just making things up
08:24.32benmeyerhow cool
08:24.35pez2001on the sharp rom /etc/init.d is empty
08:24.51benmeyerif you remove all of the Q_OBJECT calls in uic outputed files you can reduce your binary size quite a bit
08:24.59kollaisnt it a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d ? :)
08:25.08benmeyerand if you remove the deconstructors, but leave them in the hearers it does a heck of a lot too
08:25.28pez2001any idea bobstay how to cirumvent this inconvience
08:25.36benmeyerand changing just 1 copy to a ref saves 1K
08:25.38benmeyercooool
08:25.44kollapez2001: fingerd in init.d?
08:25.59kollaodds and evens
08:26.04pez2001nope in /usr/sbin
08:26.15kollawhy init.d?
08:26.23pez2001because inetd restart
08:26.23kergothhey
08:26.35pez2001after adding finger stream.... into inetd.conf
08:26.43kollakillall -1 inetd
08:26.55pez2001that works?
08:27.05kergothyes, it does
08:27.06kollano, I'm just fantasizing again
08:27.11kergothwell, -HUP does
08:27.18pez2001-1 = restart ?
08:27.31kolla-1 = whatever the programmer of the program wants it to be
08:27.33Wintre-1 is -HUP
08:27.48kergothinetd rehashes its config file on HUP
08:27.51WintreConventionally daemons reread their config files on HUP
08:27.56kergothyep, inetd is one of them
08:27.59kergoth-1 will work fine
08:28.00pez2001ah....yes remember it now....
08:28.13pez2001ok ill change that
08:28.21WintreThough it's better to use the symbolic name in case you're ever on a degenerated system where -1 actually means SIGKILL for example ;)
08:28.28kergothhehe
08:28.37initqis there a linux version of the zaurus synchronizing file transfer software?
08:28.53kergothinitq: qtopia desktop. yes. its on their ftp site.
08:29.14kollaand -HUP means --hamster_users_phux
08:29.21benmeyermake
08:29.24benmeyerheh
08:29.29initqcool thanks!
08:29.42kergothmake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
08:30.08kollamake: what? now?
08:30.20kergoth:)
08:30.20kolla(y/n)
08:30.27benmeyercool, with using QMap not using the copy constructor can save 400bytes
08:30.34kergothwe're such a bunch of smartasses
08:30.37kergothtis alright tho
08:30.40kergothbenmeyer: nice
08:30.41bobstaypez2001: eep, can I test it a bit later, something just came up...
08:30.52kergothhey bobstay, any luck on the bt situation
08:30.52pez2001k
08:30.54benmeyeris uic a exe or script?
08:31.15pez2001who wants to test my ipk????
08:31.19kergothin my distro, uic calls uic-real, which is a binary
08:31.21benmeyerwith just a little bit of post uic cleanup out binaries can be much smaller
08:31.24pez2001ill send it for free ;-))
08:31.24benmeyerpez2001: I can
08:31.25initqdo many of you feel openzaurus is mora than the version installed by default? my z keeps freezing all the time when I reboot, and many times I hva
08:31.28pez2001k
08:31.34benmeyerpez2001: meyerb@sharpsec.com
08:31.34initqhave to to a hard reset
08:31.36benmeyerwhat does it do?
08:31.40bobstaykergoth: um, aside from that mail from the nokia guy, no. I'm hoping that a) he'll fix it, and b) the parcel that arrived today is my bluetooth USB dongle, which I shall get working on the desktop and test further the PCMCIA card with.
08:31.50kergothinitq: the reboot twice without suspending hang is kernel issue, and you'll see it in both the sharp rom and oz
08:31.56kergothbobstay: ah nice
08:32.05pez2001its a port of a finger server
08:32.13initqahhh...ok
08:33.03pez2001finger pez2001@leckerbrei.homeip.net and you'll see the zfinger daemon in action ;-))
08:34.34bobstaywhy would you want a finger server on the Z ?
08:34.54pez2001i like the .plan
08:34.56bobstayheh
08:34.59pez2001*g*
08:35.11bobstayt
08:35.43pez2001at the moment the finger server shows my .plan file and and my public todolist entries ;-))
08:41.05kollainitq seems to have the same problem with his Z as I have with mine
08:41.24kolla"and many time I have to do a hard reset"
08:41.24kergoththe hang on reboot issue?
08:41.29Wintrekolla: It doesn't run amigaos?
08:41.30kollayes
08:41.33WintreOh
08:41.36kergothjust suspend right after turning it on
08:41.38kergoththen you're set
08:41.46Wintre;)
08:41.57kollakergoth: ?
08:42.19kergothkolla: its an issue with rebooting the z without having suspended it at all since boot
08:42.21kollahas there been some "solution" worked out?
08:42.24kergothkolla: suspend it at least once
08:42.28kollaaha
08:42.32kergoth'solution' no, its likely a kernel bug
08:42.36kollaok
08:42.37kergothour port to 2.4.19 will solve it
08:42.42kergothcause we're redoing everything
08:42.45kergothbut thats a ways off yet
08:42.50kergothdue to a lack of time on my part
08:42.54kollaok, but means that it isnt my Z that is faulty
08:43.18kergothkolla: probably not
08:43.21kollakergoth: sharp ought to pay you guys for doing OZ :)
08:43.31kergothi wish :)
08:43.37kergothi'm so in debt right now
08:43.39bobstaykergoth: you ought to deputize
08:48.24TheMasterMind1kergoth: !
08:55.51TwiunJasonNJ: another screenie http://adorphuye.com/test/rotated-test.png
08:56.12kergothhey Twiun
08:56.19Twiunhey kergoth
08:56.29Twiunhow goes it?
08:57.02kergothnot bad, pretty good day so far
08:57.02kergothyou?
08:57.25Twiunbanging my head on wonka... yet again ;-)
08:57.39Twiunat least the buildroot works great
08:58.10Twiunkergoth: the low-level pixel manipulation of wonka is macroed... at the byte level... *not* word
08:58.17Twiunkergoth: sucks for doing screen rotations
08:58.56TheMasterMind1benmeyer: you made the *creator ipks right?
08:59.11kergothTwiun: ack

09:05.49XavierXeonhello
09:07.06Pend-Gonethis channel doesn't have a website per say correct?

09:09.13benmeyerTheMasterMind1: yes I made them
09:09.22benmeyerPendalar: kinda
09:09.25benmeyerwhat you looking for
09:09.29benmeyerwww.zauruszone.com/howtos/
09:09.32benmeyeribot web
09:09.32wish i knew, benmeyer
09:09.40benmeyergoto the links page
09:09.53benmeyersweet, reduced my code by another 30K

09:14.14hardwireblah blah blah
09:15.12hardwirebecause WE AREN'T CONTROLLED BY THE MAN!
09:15.14aj2911Hello, Had anyone got Zaurus Sync software working on Redhat 8.0 ? I will be instaling 8.0 on my desktop over the weekend. I was wondering if someone could be kind enough to provide me with tips to get Z working on 8.0 ?
09:15.14hardwireheh
09:15.33hardwirepeople are so polite when they are new
09:15.36hardwireTOO BAD THEY CHANGE
09:15.41hardwirelike me :
09:15.46kergothhm
09:15.47BigBossyou probably need a version of qtopia desktop that is built with gcc 3.2
09:15.50kergothi wasnt polite when i was new
09:15.55kergothheh
09:15.59hardwireheh
09:16.08XavierXeonhardwire: you are the bedrock of politeness in this channel !
09:16.15Pendalarno I was more wondering about the people of this channel
09:16.22hardwireand you sir.. are the cornerstone of funk.
09:16.26aj2911ok, and which kernel-zaurus should I use ? 2.4.18.3 or 2.4.18.5 ?
09:16.31PendalarI mean listening gathers who develops what, just wonder if anyone is keeping up with it
09:16.40kergothaj2911: um, the one thats for the kernel you're using
09:16.43kergothaj2911: uname -a is your friend
09:17.04PendalarI've gathered kergoth is part of OZ in some way, and br33zy does the inetflash app.. but beyond that.. ;-)
09:17.16hardwirePendalar your listening skillz are amazing
09:17.24XavierXeonlol
09:17.25Pendalaryep.. it's scary
09:17.29hardwireyou should also just look at killefiz and check out who makes what :)
09:17.35aj2911well, I have not yet installed it, so I do not know the kernel version, and I have only dialup at home, so downloading stuff would be a pain. Am planning to download from office, and take home...
09:17.36hardwirethen you don't have to be so slow!
09:17.42Pendalarsome people don't post their nicknames on kil
09:18.19hardwirePendalar: heh
09:18.19hardwiretrue
09:18.19hardwirePendalar: so.. you wanna know who is in charge of every project.. and if they are keeping up with it?
09:18.19kergothaj2911: you havent installed what?
09:18.20hardwireyou gonna pay us next?
09:18.21kergothaj2911: linux?
09:18.28XavierXeonisnt redhat 8.0 shipping with a 2.4.19 kernel
09:18.38aj2911Redhat 8.0, yes Linux (I would be installing it over the weekend
09:18.52kergothaj2911: then which zaurus package you install depends on which kernel you use
09:18.55kergothaj2911: -3 is stock
09:19.03kergothaj2911: -5 is available via up2date or their ftp site
09:19.10aj2911I believe -3 is stock for RH7.3
09:19.18aj2911hmm
09:19.19kergothyeah, you're right
09:19.25Pendalarno.. just curious, this isn't my first venture in the PDA world
09:19.28kergothso regardless, you install the one you need
09:19.30kergothperiod
09:19.31kergothheh
09:19.37aj2911:)
09:19.46hardwirePendalar: venture away.. just don't rag on people for being behind the times :)  thats all I ask
09:19.52aj2911kergoth, u helped me yesterday, right ?
09:19.57Pendalarof course not
09:19.59hardwireif you have a lot to offer.. start helping with OZ
09:19.59kergothaj2911: yeah
09:20.38Pendalarif I continue to develop (and actually come up with something useful) I don't want it to be OZ version this or that.. I'd rather it work on both
09:20.51aj2911kergoth: ok, well, I did what you told: I checked that /usr/src/linux2.4 was symlinked to linux2.4.18-3 (stock sources), and not to 2.4.19
09:20.53kergothPendalar: apps will work on both
09:20.54Pendalarjust from a maintainance view point
09:21.09WintreQtopia and OZ are supposed to be binary compatible
09:21.13WintreThat's the goal at least
09:21.18aj2911kergoth: next, I copied the /boot/config.... to /use/src/linux2.4 and did makeoldonfig; make dep
09:21.30hardwireit does work on both.. I aws referring to not new projects.. but getting other things working overall.. using the OZ buildsystem so that everything has a common home
09:21.33kergothaj2911: and you renamed it to .config?
09:21.39kergothaj2911: cp /boot/config-blah /usr/rsc/linux-2.4/.config
09:21.46Pendalarwhere is the bulk of the Q fork? just GUI API?
09:22.00kergothPendalar: its not a QT fork, its a qtopia fork
09:22.00hardwireand mug
09:22.10aj2911kergoth: everything seemed to went ok. Then I "rpm -e kernel-zaurus", and reinstall the 2.4.18.3 binary RPM. yes, I renamed to .config :)
09:22.18Pendalarmy abbr is shorter ;-)
09:22.18kergothaj2911: okay continue
09:22.20kergothaj2911: hehe
09:22.27kergothPendalar: and makes no sense
09:22.29kergothPendalar: :)
09:22.32hardwireheh
09:22.45PendalarQ, QT, QTP... bah ;-)
09:22.47hardwirewoot.. this servo controller came DOA
09:22.51hardwirebastards
09:22.54aj2911kergoth: After that when I did modprobe usbdnet, I still got all those errors...
09:23.02kergothaj2911: unresolved symbols?
09:23.19Pietehardwire: thats always fun :)
09:23.39hardwirethe micropic is covered in either flux or dog piss
09:23.39aj2911kergoth: then I rpm -e kernel-zaurus again and tried ti "rpm -bb kernel-zaurus-RHsrc...rpm", yes the unresolved symbols errors
09:23.42kergothaj2911: you'll probably want to edit /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile .. go to the EXTRAVERSION line, ensure that that matches what is after '2.4.18' on your uname -a line
09:23.50kergothaj2911: i.e. 2.4.18-3 extraversion is -3
09:23.54kergothaj2911: then make dep again
09:24.33hardwireI have a giant hole in my pants
09:24.39aj2911hmm, well, I have screwed around with RH7.3 a LOT, so I guess, reinstall would be a good option, and since I wud be reinstalling, I am planning to go with 8.0 :)
09:25.46nodaBah, reinstalling - no true Linux user ever reinstalls :)
09:25.57aj2911:))
09:26.02Wintrenoda: Heh
09:26.04kergothnoda: yeah, they apt-get dist-upgrade
09:26.06PendalarI don't fully understand why you can't upgrade from 7.3 to 8.0 w/o reinstalling... I mean you can upgrade the kernel fine, so why not a simple update
09:26.16kergothPendalar: because redhat sucks
09:26.18WintreHey, sometimes you don't have a choice
09:26.19kergoth:)
09:26.20nodaPendalar: You can. But redhat sucks.
09:26.24kergothhehe
09:26.27WintreLike when you install Caldera, for example
09:26.31nodaWintre: What do you mean? Linux is made so that everything can always be upgraded. It ALWAYS works.
09:26.35kergothcaldera? dear god man
09:26.42WintrePendalar: You *should* be able to.
09:26.43kergothcaldera is absolute crap
09:26.53Pendalarit does but all I need it for is a coding shell, so I really don't care.. whatever gives me the least fuss
09:26.53hardwiremwa ha ha
09:26.54hardwireDISTRO WARS!
09:26.54kergothhardwire: hehe
09:26.57nodaWintre: Maybe your *distributer* can't help you, but hell, I ditched Slackware long ago - I just install everything myself :)
09:27.02hardwireboogie woogie woogie
09:27.02benmeyerDebian rules, but the installer sucks!
09:27.05hardwireblowtorch!
09:27.13hardwirebenmeyer: haha
09:27.20Pendalarwell I mean if you could just force RHN to see it as 8.0, then it'd send you all the package updates in theory
09:27.22Wintrenoda: Yes, indeed, you can always make it work yourself.
09:27.24hardwireI think the last thing you have to worry about with a good distro.. is the installer
09:27.32kergothhardwire: exactly
09:27.35aj2911well, I think, the effort to upgrade 7.3 to 8.0 would be the same as re-installing 8.0, and apart from that I will get a "clean" system (hopefully)
09:27.37WintreI for one have spent enough time doing that that I'm very happy to let somebody else do it.
09:27.58Wintrehardwire: Indeed. Mostly. You use it once every few years on any given machine
09:27.58nodaaj2911: Bah. "messy" systems are just as fast and stable. It's not Windows.
09:28.07aj2911+ I do not have broadband (yet), so cannot "update"
09:28.13Pendalaryeah it's just annoying to backup stuff and put it back
09:28.15kergoth'messy' .. install everythign with your package manager, and all is well
09:28.17nodaWintre: No, you use it *once* on any given machine. Debian never ever needs to be reinstalled.
09:28.34aj2911noda: thats trus :) but I am desprate to get Z working and don't have a lot of time (unfortunately)
09:28.42nodaaj2911: Heh :)
09:29.04Wintrenoda: Uh huh. Suuuuure. I've been using Debian for a couple of years now and while I like it very much, I don't have that much faith in their perfection.
09:29.06Pendalarthat's a good point, if I was trying to use slackware and it was whipping me left and right, I'd never have time to mess with the Z
09:29.17kergothWintre: who said anything about perfection?
09:29.18nodaWintre: rofl, everybody else in the world does :P
09:29.20aj2911I could install (try) it on the 98 partition, but would like to completely swithc to linux over the next few months....
09:29.21WintreAt least one of our machines here got trashed by the developer somehow - fucked up his libc package, I think
09:29.25kergothWintre: there are numerous things that need fixing
09:29.28nodaWintre: 'apt-get dist-upgrade' will always upgrade you.
09:29.30kergothWintre: but i've never had to reinstall debian
09:29.45kergothWintre: i've occasioanlly had to use as shell script to force a reinstall of every package in the system, when i hosed it bad..
09:29.49WintreIt could probably have been salvaged without a reinstall, I'll grant
09:29.53Wintrekergoth: Heh.
09:29.55aj2911so, coming back to the topic :), has anyone got Z working with RH 8.0 ?
09:30.00WintreThat's not exactly far from a total reinstall, buddy ;)
09:30.06kergothyeah it is
09:30.08nodaSheesh, this is Linux. As long as the partition hasn't been overwritten, it can be recovered.
09:30.09kergothi lose nothing
09:30.15kergothall my code and data is intact
09:30.23nodaHell, even if the partitions are deleted you're okay - gpart is cool :)
09:30.24kergothall my custom debian packages are intact
09:30.24kergothheh
09:30.28aj2911well, I have nothing to salvage anyway :) (all my data is in a seprate partitoin)...
09:30.48hardwireaugh
09:31.02TheMasterMind1gpart - Guess PC disk partition table, find lost partitions
09:31.03TheMasterMind1sweet
09:31.08hardwireI think some people just don't have computer essence
09:31.08WintreIn any case, there are enough things that can go wrong (drive failures, filesystme corruption, etc etc) that reinstalls are sometimes necessary
09:31.20kergothhardwire: indeed
09:31.29hardwirelike a friend of mine.. wants to install linux and be a linux administrator.. been using it for 3 years.. still having issues thinking
09:31.35kergothhardwire: haha
09:31.37WintreThe Debian guys have indeed done an admirable job of getting upgrades working correctly
09:31.50WintreBut nothing is perfect
09:31.55Pendalardoes mounts= in network.opts work decent for wifi? or is it as buggy as dhcpcd likes to be for me
09:31.56kergothWintre: if theyd get kde3 into sid i'd be a happy camper
09:31.58hardwirehe has been to linux classes.. but.. its just so stupid the stuff he asks me
09:32.01hardwireoh well
09:32.02nodaHehehe, just last week I've seen a system have to be reinstalled. Somebody did 'tar /home > /dev/sda' instead of 'tar /home > /dev/st0'. Big difference :P
09:32.05hardwirebitching time over
09:32.07Wintrekergoth: Me as well
09:32.18kergothnoda: haha
09:32.31nodagpart recovered the important partitions though. /home, /usr, /var.
09:32.41nodaAnd that, boys and girls, is why multiple partitions are a good thing :P
09:32.47TheMasterMind1heheh
09:32.53kergothindeed
09:33.06kergothmultiple drives are often better :)
09:33.16WintreLVM
09:33.18Wintremmmmmm
09:33.18Wintrelvm
09:33.24kergothlvm is spiffy
09:33.35nodaWe lost the UT server though, unfortunately. Of course, it is a production server running important reports... but hell, UT *is* the most important thing it's serving ;)
09:33.38kergothhardware raid is spiffy
09:34.34hardwirehmm
09:34.44hardwireso if you lined up 8 or so strangers in a line
09:34.45WintreHardware RAID is scary.
09:34.49WintreVery, very scary.
09:34.50kergothi love skipping out on all employee meetings
09:34.57hardwirewhat questions could you ask to see if they are linux compatable
09:35.00kergothi've got like 2 hours to sit here and do whatever
09:35.19WintreYou will realize how scary the day you turn off your main server, and then turn it on, and find that it won't come up because the RAID controller has died.
09:35.49nodaWhat I hate most is the 2-minute wait for a raid controller to warm up. I still don't understand what they do in all that time...
09:36.00Wintrenoda: Spin up all the disks, presumably
09:36.08kergothWintre: eh? replace it and you're golden
09:36.14Wintrekergoth: Hahah
09:36.22Wintrekergoth: Sure. What if it's three years old?
09:36.31kergothWintre: i have a 4 year old controller
09:36.33kergothWintre: its been replaced
09:36.35Wintrekergoth: what if it doesn't happen to write the RAID array configuration to the disks
09:36.40kergothWintre: i didnt lose a damn thing
09:36.48kergothWintre: eh? it wrote the confirugation on bootup
09:36.50WintreAnd what do you do while you wait for a replacement to arrive?
09:36.52kergothWintre: on a previous boot
09:37.02kergothyou do the same thing you would do while waiting for a replacement standard scsi controller
09:37.03Wintrekergoth: What controller do you have, a Mylex?
09:37.05kergothor an ide controller
09:37.07hardwireoh my god
09:37.09hardwirehere it comes
09:37.11kergoththe point is, its not a raid specific issue
09:37.17hardwireI do that sometimes
09:37.23kergothWintre: AMI megaraid
09:37.25kergothhardwire: you're scary
09:37.27WintreAh
09:37.33WintreI don't assume that all RAID controllers do that.
09:37.46kergothhardwire: good idea
09:37.58hardwireYOU JUST WANNA GET RID OF ME!
09:38.10WintreI don't assume that all controllers are sufficiently compatible that you can just swap a new one in place of a three-year-old one
09:38.24WintreIt'd be great if they were
09:38.46WintreBut something you have to check for any given card, not something you can assume
09:39.22hardwirehaha.. that would make a great commercial
09:39.25kergothhaha
09:39.53hardwiredo a little animal jog like in "The Animal"
09:42.38pez2001has somebody installed qtopia qt embedded development stuff and could tell what has to be done
09:43.10pez2001i want to compile for arm not for x86
09:43.28kergothread the howto
09:43.39hardwireibot howto do stuff
09:43.39hardwire: i haven't a clue
09:43.40TheMasterMind1ibot xcompile
09:43.40hmm... xcompile is just get ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/toolchain/cross-2.95.3.tar.bz2 , un-tarbz2 in /usr/local/arm and set PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin and you're set! much better than the zauruszone howto setup (faster, cleaner, newer, works with more source) or ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/toolchain/cross-3.2.tar.bz2
09:43.44hardwirestupid bot!
09:43.45TheMasterMind1ibot howto
09:43.45extra, extra, read all about it, howto is at http://www.zauruszone.com/howtos/ or see xcompile for cross compiler setup
09:43.59pez2001i read that....
09:44.06hardwirehey.. can we use the other toolchain ibot?
09:44.13hardwirethe bettar more happie one?
09:44.25pez2001but the link is down and i dont even think it would help me....
09:44.32hardwireor is that the bettar more happie one?
09:44.42kergothpez2001: yes, it helps you
09:44.47kergothpez2001: wait till it comes back, read it again
09:44.50pez2001but its down
09:45.04pez2001the howtos are there
09:45.14pez2001not the qtopia.rpm
09:45.17hardwirehip hop phinominal
09:45.30pez2001and i think this would be a x86 version.....
09:45.41kergothpez2001: um, the qtopia sdk has both x86 and arm libs
09:45.56kollano leg libs though
09:46.02kergothno, definately no leg libs
09:46.06kergothbastards
09:46.30kollaamericans have a constitutional right to bear arms
09:46.36pez2001hmmm ok.... so i just compile the libs with standard gcc path and configure options
09:46.37kollaI prefer my human arms
09:46.56kergothpez2001: and use teh scripts in the howto
09:46.58kollaallthough my name suggest I'm a black bear
09:47.41pez2001you mean the rpm thats on trolltech.com?
09:47.45pez20011.50.....
09:47.51kergothpez2001: yes. the qtopia SDK
09:48.35pez2001i started with the tar.gz and caught up a little..... cause the were no xcompile instructions for it....

10:13.30Speedy2Wow...another PDA based on the StrongARM.
10:13.33kergothnah, not hard at all
10:13.42TheMasterMind1openzaurus would work on it
10:13.43kollaSpeedy2: palm

10:28.40Speedy2Funny that speech synthesis still sux today.
10:28.47hardwirehardly Speedy2
10:28.55trekeyeah, those demos are pretty good
10:28.59hardwireit is still quirky but it sounds a lot better
10:29.01tux_mikeactually there are some great syths that you cannot tell are a computer
10:29.07Speedy2It's no where it should be
10:29.18Speedy2er...you know what I mean.
10:29.52tux_mikehrmmm
10:30.24hardwireSpeedy2 your brain to text synthisizer is broken
10:30.28hardwireso is mine
10:30.54tux_mikehardwire: yours is always broken
10:31.01Speedy2Heh
10:31.07hardwiretux_mike it needs an upgrade
10:31.16hardwirebut nobody wants to insert things into my head
10:31.22hardwireI CAN'T WIN!
10:31.25hardwireWHY!
10:31.31tux_mikeno one wants to go near your head
10:31.35tux_mikeor you :)
10:32.08Pendalarhttp://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8728350077.html  and people think Z is the only choice besides iPaq ;-)
10:32.38TheMasterMind1that thing doesn't come close to a Z though
10:32.39BigBossthere is that Hitachi chip that the Kaii is using
10:33.04kergothTheMasterMind1: eh? it has usb host
10:33.08kergothTheMasterMind1: and fingerprint scanner
10:33.15kergoth:)
10:33.16TheMasterMind1usb host is cool
10:33.23TheMasterMind1fingerprint scanner isn't that big a deal
10:33.23Speedy2Au1100 has USB host...
10:33.32TheMasterMind1the Z has a keyboard cf and sd slot
10:33.40kergothyep
10:33.45benmeyertwice the flash!
10:33.57kergothSpeedy2: what arm instruction set does that use?
10:34.11Speedy2It doesn't use the ARM instruction set
10:34.14Speedy2It uses the MIPS instruction set
10:34.17kergothah
10:34.24Speedy2Though it was designed by the StrongARM team...
10:34.25PendalarMizi has FM ;-)
10:34.46Speedy2"MIPS32" ISA
10:34.48kergothPendalar: buy a cf fm radio card
10:34.50kergothSpeedy2: ah
10:35.11benmeyerwith tmake can you have depends?
10:35.15TheMasterMind1CF tv would be cool
10:35.19benmeyerto build sub dirs first?
10:35.23Speedy2That's been discussed (CF TV)
10:35.25Pendalarwell if I got to take out my wifi or GCC CF... it really isn't worth it
10:35.30Speedy2It's possible, but not without a lot of effort.
10:35.32Pendalaronly if it's integrated
10:35.35kergothi should take bets on how long it takes MIS to call me for playing a shoutcast stream
10:35.49TheMasterMind1heh
10:35.53TheMasterMind1whats new in opie land btw?
10:35.58TheMasterMind1any new apps/features/bugfixes?
10:36.01Speedy2Poppies
10:36.03kergothnah its pretty calm atm
10:36.06kergothother than the new buildsystem
10:36.12TheMasterMind1ah nice
10:36.12kergothbenmeyer: tmake is crap
10:36.22kergothbenmeyer: you can use a subdirs template, but you cant ensure things build in a certain order easily
10:36.38kergothbenmeyer: course opie wont be using tmake anymore, but i dunno about your projects :)
10:36.49TheMasterMind1heh
10:37.49Speedy2If GNU/Hurd is anything like GNU/GCC or GNU/anything else, I can only wonder how it will be.
10:38.04TheMasterMind1benmeyer: your hancom and other control scripts use bash. (i.e. #!/bin/bash at the top instead of #!/bin/sh)
10:38.08TheMasterMind1there's no bash by default on OZ
10:38.23TheMasterMind1ibot hurd
10:38.23TheMasterMind1: I don't know, could you explain it?
10:38.36TheMasterMind1ibot die
10:38.36ACTION takes two shots to the head and crumples lifeless.
10:38.46TheMasterMind1ibot forget TheMasterMind1
10:38.52TheMasterMind1eh?
10:38.58TheMasterMind1*ibot* cannot remove factoid 'themastermind1' since it is protected by Time.
10:39.12benmeyersay again
10:39.19benmeyermy crearot something
10:39.20TheMasterMind1benmeyer: your hancom and other control scripts use bash. (i.e. #!/bin/bash at the top instead of #!/bin/sh)
10:39.26benmeyereh
10:39.29TheMasterMind1there's no bash by default on OZ
10:39.58benmeyerah
10:40.06Speedy2ibot phoenix
10:40.06wish i knew, Speedy2
10:40.25Speedy2inot You're supposed to rise up from the ashes and then set fire to us all and laugh all the way
10:40.26TheMasterMind1and at one point in time they used to depend on qpe-base =1.5.0 i think
10:40.35Harlekinhi *
10:40.41TheMasterMind1Harlekin: sup
10:41.01Harlekinweekend
10:41.02Harlekin.-)
10:41.10TheMasterMind1kergoth: was the konq-gifplugin ipk broken too?
10:47.42kollabah.. I dont see any CF slot on the paron
10:48.30kollaRS232 seems kinda akward
10:48.43kollabut true USB-port is nice
10:49.35kollaso I guess it's ok, you can plug in a USB disk and a VT-terminal
10:49.41TheMasterMind1yea
10:49.43kollaand network over bluetooth
10:49.53kollaor gprs
10:50.02TheMasterMind1gprs?
10:50.52kollageneral packet radio service
10:51.16TheMasterMind1hmm
10:51.19TheMasterMind1interesting
10:51.27kollaI use it all the time
10:51.29TheMasterMind1isn't that slow?
10:51.33TheMasterMind1like 1200bps?
10:51.35kollaheh
10:51.38kollano
10:51.48TheMasterMind1hmm
10:51.54kolla4x9600 and thereabouts
10:52.04kolladepends on operator
10:52.16kollatheoretically it can be as fast as they like
10:52.59kollahttp://www.gsmworld.com/technology/gprs/index.shtml
10:53.26kollaI use it with my Z
10:53.40TheMasterMind1cool
10:53.54TheMasterMind1how much is the hardware/service?
10:54.05kollabluetooth between Z and my ericsson t39, which has GPRS
10:54.28kollathe service is free, but I pay about NOK20 per MB traffic
10:54.57kollakergoth: I cant find the affix module
10:55.00TheMasterMind1ah
10:55.01TheMasterMind1cool
10:55.15kollatried reinstalling the kernel modules...uhm.. maybe download it first
10:55.39kollaTheMasterMind1: yes, it very nice since I dont need any wire between the Z and the phone :)
10:55.46kollacan keep the phone in the belt
10:59.30kollais there a way to get rid of the |Q| menu? as on the screenshots of paron?
11:01.10TheMasterMind1go to the launcher settings
11:01.34kergothlauncher settings can disable the start menu?
11:02.21oGMoi don't recall so
11:02.31TheMasterMind1no, but you can get rid of the tabs showing in it
11:02.47TheMasterMind1hmm, its not saving settings for some reason when i press ok
11:02.50TheMasterMind1sounds like a bug
11:03.28TheMasterMind1hmm wtf. it showing all the applets too
11:03.47kergothTheMasterMind1: mantis?
11:03.47kergothheh
11:04.11TheMasterMind1no idea what caused that though
11:04.14TheMasterMind1it was working fine before
11:04.40TheMasterMind1which reminds me. you can enable irda discovery, but how do you actually use it to see what devices are around you?
11:06.00tux_mikeibot seen kendrick2
11:06.00kendrick2 <nbs@bolt.sonic.net> was last seen on IRC in channel #zaurus, 19h 18m 58s ago, saying: 'cya's!'.
11:07.27kollaTheMasterMind1: you have to "reboot"
11:07.43kollaI have used irda to "discover" the phone
11:07.45TheMasterMind1kolla: then what
11:07.52kollaworked ok, quite useless though
11:07.59kollathen nothing
11:08.04kollait just showed up there
11:08.06TheMasterMind1oh
11:08.07TheMasterMind1hmm
11:08.07TheMasterMind1ok
11:08.10TheMasterMind1lemme try
11:11.10TheMasterMind1well, can't find the phone
11:11.11TheMasterMind1so oh well
11:11.31TheMasterMind1i was trying it with one of the internet stations in the disney parks and it wasn't working
11:11.35TheMasterMind1hadn't rebooted
11:37.10kollakergoth: the libopenobex and ligthread libs at the affix site seem newer than the ones in OZ3
11:37.17kollawhich is kidna odd since they're older
11:37.36kergothseem newer?
11:38.06kollaversion
11:38.16kollalibgthread_1.2-10
11:38.22kergothand ours is..?
11:38.27kolla libopenobex_1.0
11:38.50kolla libopenobex-0.9.so.8
11:39.04kergoth?
11:39.11kollalibgthread-1.0
11:41.02kollaopenobex 0.9.8-1 is installed, on the affix site there is libopenobex_1.0.0-1
11:41.24kollawell
11:42.42kollathe lib installed is 0.9.8-4
11:44.14alphow do i get a terminal with the z5500? there doesn't seem to be a terminal icon
11:45.41kergoth'install it
11:45.43kergothits on your cd
11:45.49kergothand on myzaurus.com
11:46.17alpah. better get usbdnet working first then
11:48.52kollasmokes
11:55.28tux_mikehttp://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/28009.html ugh
11:56.14Twiunhah
11:56.42Twiunlike it's been said before... if cd's were cheaper, there'd be no point in copying
11:57.19ljp_workbut people would anyway
11:57.21kollakergoth: appearently the connector works with OZ now
11:57.23tux_mikenot only that, what about fair use!?  there is /legal precident/ saying i can change medias.
11:57.48JasonNJhttp://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war.html
11:58.47BigBossit's the same agrument as software copying
11:59.02BigBossa lot of people that pirate wouldn't buy it in the first place, and don't even really use it when they pirate it
11:59.08BigBossso the loss of revenue is trivial
11:59.22alpkergoth: catch 22, i can't add a route to the pc on the z until i get a shell on it. and i can't get a shell on it until i connect it. i'm sure this has been done before though..
11:59.30BigBosstheir problem is that not enough people are being exposed to enough music, so sales are down because the only music available is 'N sync
11:59.48JasonNJhttp://fatb.oska.com/images/sample_boggie.gif
12:00.09BigBossa commercial CD shouldn't cost more than $9.95
12:00.15Rincehiho
12:00.24numatrixThanks, Jason, just what I needed to blind me this afternoon.  :-)
12:00.26marki have bought so mcuh music after listening to a coiped album of a mate                  
12:01.03alphow do you get the terminal package in the first place?
12:01.28alps/package/package installed/
12:02.47Neo|Workhello etc
12:03.30Neo|WorkJasonNJ: is that a carton portrait of you? :)
12:03.40Rincequestion: with OZ3, I do not see some applications I installed in /mnt/ram - how can I change this? and is there (already) everything ready for PPP-Connections?
12:04.25Cloudchaserhey...happy friday everyone!
12:05.03Neo|Work"There are 250 Million blank CDRs and tapes bought and used this year for copying music in comparison to 213 Million prerecorded audio media. This means the owners are only being paid for 46 per cent of the musical content."
12:05.04Neo|Workuh
12:05.13Neo|Workso all CD-R's are used to store music?
12:05.16Neo|Workfunny that
12:05.33JasonNJhttp://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/buck.html
12:05.36Neo|WorkI have no CD-R's with music myself. well, perhaps some, but they are scans from Cd's I own
12:05.38JasonNJthat is hillarious
12:06.19alpis it possible to install the terminal app without windows?
12:06.41Neo|Workand does anyone really believe "copy protected" CD's will stop music piracy? If anything I think it'll increase it
12:06.49benmeyeryah, I have maybe 300+ cdr that are nothing but data
12:07.01benmeyermaybe 6 are audio copies
12:07.03Neo|Workbenmeyer: you are LYING YOU PIRATE!
12:07.27benmeyerno, I just do regular backups after one fatefull day in which I learned it really sucks not to
12:07.31ljp_workstill doesnt make 'pirating' music legal
12:07.49benmeyer?
12:07.52JasonNJhttp://www.orisinal.com/games/snowbowling.htm
12:08.18benmeyerno, purly on thier argument that most cd'r are just for audio coping
12:08.22benmeyermost for me arn't
12:08.34benmeyerand the very few that are are music I own
12:08.40chouimatI have 1500+ CDs about 40% is copy or my audio that I copied to those cd
12:08.50BigBossI don't think I've ever burnt a music CD copy
12:08.52RinceNeo|Work: copyrightprotected CDs will stop me buying CDs, that's all.
12:08.58BigBosshowever I've bought thousands of CDR's
12:09.17RinceNeo|Work: instead, I will concentrate on the lovely artists who are not famous enough to use a big music-company
12:09.22RinceBigBoss: same to me
12:09.36BigBosstheir argument just doesn't make any sense
12:09.39XavierXeoncdparanoia rips new universal and bmg copyprotections
12:09.40kollaReconfiguring all packages installed to root ..........
12:09.45kolla....... Terminated
12:09.48kolla................
12:09.50kolla?
12:09.50benmeyerback in the day I used to copy games purly as a collector type thing.  DIdn't even play them, just copied them to have them.  Ended up tossing them all away a few years ago.  Taking up space
12:09.55BigBossit's like saying "The UN agreed to the Iraq sanctions today because Mondal lost the senate race on tuesday"
12:09.59BigBossthey are two unrelated events
12:10.35BigBosswhat they haven't figured out is the more they step on innovative ways for people to be exposed to music, the more music sales drop
12:10.37benmeyerhttp://www.cartel-info.fr/pbiondi/zaurus/
12:10.42BigBosshow they aren't seeing it is really beyond me
12:10.50chouimatBigBoss: got some CD-r with very rare or out of print artist
12:11.02BigBossall they are really going to do is to make pirating a *real* problem
12:11.04XavierXeonpitty is i am not really intersted in copying cd, i want to listen to them nad my cd player does not like copy protection
12:11.06trekemaybe they think they are making too much money
12:11.18BigBosschouimat: see, now that is kind of cool because you can't get it any other way, there is no choice
12:11.29benmeyerwhat was really amusing was how true that was.  Back in the day when audiogalaxy was running I actually bought cd's from the random artists that I found because I downloaded them by mistake when getting some other group
12:11.47benmeyerthus exposing me to music that I never would have found
12:11.53chouimatBigBoss: or band that are not bad but not enough good to buy the cd
12:11.58kergothbenmeyer: yep, very true. happened to me quite a bit as well
12:12.07benmeyerand other then techno (which is mostly in lp form) I havn't bought a cd sense
12:12.23treke I just want it in MP3/OGG because 1) I dont have a stereo 2) I hate switching cds 3) I dont want to listen to the CD player all day
12:12.25BigBossI have bought so much music because of Napster and internet radio it's unreal
12:12.37BigBossI love having the CD's
12:12.41trekeer same CD all day
12:12.43benmeyerI mp3 all of my music simply so I can run sondra on them
12:12.47BigBossI like having the packaging, and having this huge physical collection of CD's
12:13.14trekeso all my cds sit on a shelf while I listen to the ogg
12:13.39chouimatI have spend about 5000$ for cds in the last 3 years
12:13.46Neo|Workrince: right, copyprotected CD's == me not buying cd's ever again
12:13.53BigBossI have about 800 cd's, so I've paid my shar into it
12:14.08BigBosspeople *will* stop buying CD's with copy protection
12:14.19BigBossthey will then find cracked versions on the net and CD sales will drop even more
12:14.50numatrixBigBoss: we can only hope.  They (the ubiquitous THEY of the industry) really need to get a clue.
12:14.52Neo|WorkI haven't bought a CD for a long time because in general Cd's in the US are boring mainstream shit
12:15.09Neo|WorkSweden, Germany etc have a lot better stuff that I like
12:15.29benmeyerSee I am from Boston where there is always cool local stuff
12:15.32Neo|Worksame thing with radio here
12:15.33numatrixNeo, by the way, do you have any idea which of the games you've been working on lately will be the next released?
12:15.38BigBosshonestly Amazon was a godsend because I was able to purchase lots of stuff I couldn't find otherwise
12:15.41Neo|Worknumatrix: nope
12:16.02Neo|Workstill hard to find good European (especially German) techno/trance etc
12:16.04numatrixNeo; ok, just curious.  Do you have a mailing list where you send announcements or should I just keep checking the web?
12:16.06chouimatNeo|Work: mainstream CDs are about 20$ in Canada but the good stuff is between 25-45$
12:16.40XavierXeonchouimat: that is us dollars i guess
12:16.45benmeyerNeo|Work: all depends if you are willing to buy LP or not
12:16.52chouimatXavierXeon: no canadian dollars
12:17.20Neo|Workbenmeyer: I'm not of course
12:17.29benmeyerok
12:17.31Neo|WorkI haven't had (access) to an LP player for oh so many years
12:17.36benmeyer:-D
12:17.39Neo|Workbesides, they are useless. :P
12:17.49Neo|WorkI'm all for crystal clear "perfect" audio
12:18.02Neo|WorkI find no joy in nostalgic raspy sound of an LP
12:18.44benmeyerwell there is one LP that I will cerish.  Got it from Jen's (my wife) parents.  A Care Bear record and on it you can see her finger prints from when she was 5
12:19.04benmeyervery cute
12:20.27BigBossoh man, I've got to get a copy, that is my 2nd favorite record of all time :)
12:20.29Neo|Workwell, that's differeny. :P
12:20.46benmeyerhaha
12:21.49BigBossmy first favorite is Ice Tea Cop Killer
12:21.50chouimatBigBoss: some European band still release their album in LP
12:22.02BigBosschouimat: isn't that illegal or impossible?
12:22.55benmeyerno, in fact most all beatles albums are released in LP in the us also
12:22.55chouimatBigBoss: I bought the last Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian and Rhapsody as LP (collector edition)
12:23.26benmeyerin boston there is a store that has the new albums with the LP's right next to the Cd's when they come out
12:24.08chouimatbenmeyer: now if I can get 18000$ for the new laser turntable
12:28.09benmeyerhttp://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/06/2157252
12:33.19oakso is openzaurus 3.0 the rom of choice? just got my 5500 and wondering what to do with it :)
12:33.58levioak: Install games. :)
12:34.18oakhaha
12:34.44oakwhat are the must-have games/apps? i saw that there's a doom and a quake port
12:35.33benmeyerpuzz-le
12:35.38chouimatoak: exult
12:35.51benmeyervolcano-man
12:35.53benmeyer:-D
12:36.29leviI've enjoyed Candy Cruncher, and if you like xpilot you'll have to get RocketElite.
12:36.41leviAnd NetHack
12:37.13oaknethack!
12:37.15oaksweet
12:37.17numatrixNethack is the best ever...
12:37.31numatrixoak: Oh yeah, and it's using the QT interface, so you've got the same iconset as in the qt version.
12:37.31benmeyeribot seen imm
12:37.31i haven't seen 'imm', benmeyer
12:37.40oakexult looks sweet
12:37.50oakhow about as far as apps... dr. z the best media player?
12:37.56oaki'm not gonna pay for anything though :P
12:38.00leviI need to install exult.
12:38.02chouimatoak: but you will need Ultima 7
12:38.04benmeyerpuzz-le is free
12:38.07benmeyerkicks ass
12:38.13benmeyercompile knight and get  chess
12:38.16benmeyeror buy it
12:39.43numatrixyeah, chess is good.
12:39.53oakhm need to find ultima 7 :)
12:39.56numatrixoak: I found a really good site with ALL the old ultima games in a game package for really cheap
12:40.01numatrixoak: let me find the link.
12:40.23oaklet me search my lan first
12:40.32numatrixbenmeyer: btw, you just sent me the question about ethereal; I never ended up doing that, I switched to the gameboyz app soon after it started.
12:40.48leviIt's also available on some abandonware sites, if you can't find it elsewhere.
12:40.59benmeyernumatrix: ok where is that?
12:41.07numatrixibot zsi gameboyz
12:41.58benmeyernumatrix: Jordan or Philippe?
12:42.02numatrixbenmeyer: approximately the same speed as the enhanced qtopiagnuboy, but allows the use of the hardware buttons.  I still need to add customization for what hardware keys to use, and include that in the launcher app, but it's working pretty well.
12:42.03numatrixbenmeyer: Jordan.
12:42.31benmeyergpl yes?
12:42.47numatrixbenmeyer: I know you had a lot of stuff to do with it, but I did go back and make all the suggested changes you recommended after the first version as far as I can remember.
12:42.49numatrixbenmeyer: yup
12:42.57numatrixbenmeyer: source is available on the website somewhere.
12:43.19benmeyercool
12:43.35benmeyerI am just going through the list making sure everyone who got a z released something
12:43.44benmeyera lot didn't
12:43.46Neo|WorkI could add that doom/quake aren't really fun to play on a handheld because of lack of buttons and hard to control etc
12:43.56benmeyerwell quake isn't
12:43.58benmeyerdoom can ben
12:44.00numatrixbenmeyer: It's actually a tweaked port of gngb emulator.  I'm working on getting a new version working which has a number of really nice features, including an in-game menu.
12:44.04benmeyerand if pen input was there...
12:44.06numatrixbenmeyer: Yup, I understand.
12:44.14Neo|Workbenmeyer: playable as in fun to play rather than "runs fine"
12:44.15numatrixbenmeyer: and gngb is GPL as well.  GPL is good.
12:44.22Neo|Workdoom runs fine but I wouldn't call it fun to play or anything
12:44.43mandrakeGPL is bad.
12:44.48mandrakedon't go there.
12:44.49mandrakeheh
12:45.14numatrixI'm kinda up in the air about doom.  With the right mappings, it's not bad, but I agree neo, that it's hard to have a game like that given the interface of any pda.
12:45.23benmeyermandrake?
12:45.23chouimatmandrake: I agree
12:45.30mandrakeGPL is a very restrictive license
12:45.32Neo|Workif it was written FOR a handheld it might be different
12:45.40mandrakeLGPL is acceptable
12:45.42mandrakebut GPL is evil.
12:45.46Neo|Workbut it's written for old computers (which is why it runs fine) but with the additon of a lot of keyus
12:45.46benmeyerdepends on what you are doing
12:45.50numatrixmandrake: the frontend is LGPL if that helps.  :-)
12:46.08mandrakeLGPL == good
12:46.08numatrixNeo|Work: probably somewhat, but I still think the idea of a 3d FPS is difficult in general on a pda.
12:46.09mandrakeGPL == bad
12:46.19mandrakeI don't give a crap what BS RMS spews about it
12:46.34Neo|Worknumatrix: well, perhaps, but I sitll think it can be very playable
12:46.40Neo|Workheck, I plan o a 3D space sim
12:46.55benmeyereh, as long as I get the source I don't really care
12:46.59numatrixNeo|Work: just out of curiosity, you planning on using hardware keys to control it or pen input?
12:47.08mandrakewell, to be fair I release code under BSD license most of the time
12:47.17mandrakeand I can't use any GPL code or libraries in BSD code
12:47.17numatrixNeo|Work: that's one of the things I like about rocket elite; the pen input is very simple, yet powerful and intuitive.
12:47.23Neo|Worknumatrix: hardware keys.
12:47.27mandrakeit's easy to piss me off about the GPL
12:47.32Neo|Workstylus input is too slow
12:47.35numatrixmandrake: apparently.  :-)
12:47.36Neo|Workbut would probably work great
12:47.51Neo|Workthe support might be in there never the less
12:47.52mandrakesince it is still forbidden to use with anything that has a freer license than the GPL
12:47.56mandrakeGPL libraries are the worst
12:48.03Neo|Workmandrake: definitely
12:48.14mandrakeI mean, don't you want people to USE your library?
12:48.17mandrakesorry
12:48.18benmeyerwell it all depends on what you do  just like I said.  You do a lot of bsd stuff so having non-gpl is good for you
12:48.35benmeyermandrake: like qt?
12:48.51mandrakeafter I met RMS and sat down and talked to him and really understood the GPL, I realized how much I didn't want to release any more code under the GPL
12:49.06benmeyerwhat was the turner?
12:49.19mandrakehim opening his mouth
12:49.27chouimatmandrake: ouch
12:49.42mandrakealthough the KICKER for me was seeing him in action at the first linuxworld
12:50.03benmeyermandrake: so if you could make a pda what would you make it with?  Would you want to go with gpe or somthign entirely else?  Or is Qt ok?
12:50.19benmeyerwhat did he do at the first linux world?
12:50.33mandrakebenmeyer: I've been through all 4 viable PDA platforms, palm, qpe, X, winCE
12:50.54mandrakefrom a heartfelt standpoint I prefer X, because it makes a lot of things convenient for your developers
12:50.54oakanyone happen to hae the dr z media player? (or a better one?)
12:51.08benmeyeryup
12:51.11mandrakebut I can understand why you would want specialized apps for your PDA not for your desktop
12:51.16benmeyerok what eles
12:51.29mandrakeso I can see the argument against it.
12:51.47benmeyeryah the whole qtopia desktop is stupid, that is the one place where having the source is good especially on a linux desktop
12:51.52mandrakeqpe doesn't bug me so much, except the UI has the same problems that WinCE has
12:52.08benmeyerhehe I don't think anyone think qpe has a good ui
12:52.20mandrakeit's adequate
12:52.26mandrakeWinCE is worse
12:52.39benmeyera few things pocketpc does better
12:52.47benmeyerI lover there set time app
12:52.49benmeyermuch better
12:52.58benmeyerbut yes they do a lot of things wrong too
12:53.31mandrakekilling an app is WAY overly complicated in WinCE.  they want to 'hide' all the app startup/stop stuff from the user
12:53.49benmeyersimply to be like palm
12:53.50mandrakewhich just means you end up having to reboot your freakin device since they have the dynamic memory/disk cruft
12:53.56benmeyer:-D
12:54.10mandrakethe programming guide for CE says you should never let the user exit out of your app
12:54.12benmeyerwell when embeddedXP comes out that should all be solved
12:54.26numatrixmandrake: switching an app is way too complicated, not just killing.
12:54.26benmeyerin theory
12:54.36mandrakenumatrix: in CE it isn't usually as big a deal
12:54.45benmeyerI like Matchbox's way of seeing apps
12:54.47benmeyerhttp://handhelds.org/~mallum/matchbox/
12:54.48mandrakenumatrix: they have the icons for the last several apps you ran in the top
12:54.54mandrakebenmeyer: clicking on the titlebar?
12:54.57mandrakebenmeyer: that was my idea :)
12:55.00benmeyerah
12:55.02benmeyervery nice
12:55.08mandrakeit's based off another app I started writing called ePAQ
12:55.10benmeyerthe bottom bar should be nothing but plugins
12:55.25Neo|Workbenmeyer: if the wince clock set app is better, why not clone it? :)
12:55.30benmeyerand there should be a plugin to hide the bar to just the bottom left or something
12:55.38benmeyerNeo|Work: I will
12:55.38benmeyer:-D
12:55.44benmeyersome day
12:56.19trekebenmeyer: I took a bried looking at making task switching into an applet. It looks like the only problem would be getting qcop messages for app open and close events
12:56.26Neo|WorkI personally think a MENU with (running) apps would be fine
12:56.33benmeyerI Definetly like havint X11 just for the remote desktop side of it.  For example hospitals with pda's, the apps running on the server, but displaying on the pda.
12:57.05benmeyeryah QCop is funky, don't liek it
12:57.15mandrakeQCop is fine
12:57.30mandrakeit's close to the right way to do it
12:57.36benmeyerdcop?
12:57.43Neo|Workhmm, matchbox looks nice
12:57.59benmeyerapps should be directory based
12:58.07benmeyerso instllaing them is just a copy
12:58.26mandrakeokay I will be back in a little bit
12:58.31benmeyerk
12:58.46Neo|Workdude, I think it would be awesome to develop a good GUI for pda's
12:58.55Neo|Worktoo bad there's not $100M readily available to do it. :P
12:59.22oakanyone got ultima7 they could send? found a couple abandonware sites but they're horribly slow
12:59.26Neo|Workwith a nice C-based (compiler independent) widget set etc
13:01.25tux_mikeneo: tell you what, if i win this 93 million dollars in the next lottery, i'll sponsor it :)
13:01.44benmeyer100M? why not 1M?
13:02.35Neo|Workbenmeyer: well, $1M would be plenty to get someting out there probably
13:02.47Neo|Workbut not enough to actually manage to productize it etc
13:02.52benmeyersay 3 guys in ther garage for 2 years?
13:04.33numatrixoak: it's not abandonware.  :-)  I'll get that link for you
13:04.43oakheh
13:04.44oakk
13:04.45benmeyerAs long as the core stuff is GPL type license so it could be viewed and another Qtopia_can't_have_the_code doesn't happen
13:05.10numatrixoak: many 'abandonware' sites are merely sites for old warez.  Not that I haven't used them myself, but...
13:05.46numatrixoak: here's a compilation cd with it for 9$: http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/eacomppj.htm
13:06.03numatrixIn fact, I used to have that compilation. I think it came with SB sound cards at one point.  :-)
13:06.25numatrixoak: For the complete set of ultimate games up to that point and a few other games, see this one: http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/10for20pr.htm
13:07.37Neo|Workbenmeyer: I don't see development as the main issue. it'd be pointless to develop something it it was never used
13:07.45benmeyer?
13:07.54benmeyeroh you mean who will then us it
13:08.09Neo|Work'who will then us it'? :)
13:08.11benmeyerok, then you have a 4th marketing guy who finds companies who wants it
13:08.29benmeyers/us/use
13:08.30Neo|WorkIn either case, I don't have $1M either so... :)
13:08.34benmeyertrue
13:09.01benmeyerwedding sucks out your pockets :-D
13:10.09oakand your soul
13:10.10oak:)
13:10.43benmeyernah, your soul gets a friends out of the deal
13:12.15oaki suppose
13:12.17oakheh
13:12.33trekeoak sounds divorced :)
13:12.41alpwhat's the search path for ipkgs?
13:12.43benmeyeranyway
13:12.53oaktreke: close, single college student :)
13:13.00kergothheheh
13:13.24scanlinehmm... wonder if that works across channels >:)
13:13.25oakis the opie media player 2 the mp3/etc player of choice?
13:13.35scanlineibot: lart #picogui anonyman[emujr]
13:13.35benmeyersee but in collage once the first day of spring comes around...
13:13.59trekenope
13:14.35Harlekinoak: soon it is
13:14.36Harlekin.-)
13:15.13oakwhat to use until then? :)
13:15.22Harlekinwhich pda
13:15.33nodaHarlekin: What's the progress on op2 - is there a new version of the codecs now that the API is stable? Or is the API still not stable?
13:15.35oak5500
13:16.12Harlekinnoda: its not really stable
13:16.26Harlekinnoda: and i have a hard time to hunt hte left memory sinks
13:16.43nodaAw.
13:17.14Harlekinoak: what do you want to play
13:17.25oakmp3 and ogg mostly
13:18.31oaknot sure if i'll ever need/want to watch mpeg/avi on it
13:18.46nodaoak: You will at some point :P
13:18.55Harlekinop2 works
13:18.59oakyeah, once 1GB flash cards are cheap :)
13:19.01nodaIt's just so COOL. You can show off your Z and say how much better it is than other PDAs :)
13:19.02Harlekinbut there are segfaults
13:19.10oakhaha
13:19.12Cloudchaserand so does tkc player
13:19.18Cloudchaser(works that is)
13:19.19Harlekinand it uses a lot of mem corruently
13:19.28nodaoak: What? Divx5 can fix a 2-hour movie onto 256 meg without much difficulty.
13:19.38TheMasterMind1ibot mencoder
13:19.38mencoder is probably an excellent mpeg4 encoder that can be used to encode movies for the zaurus, see http://www.mplayerhq.hu and for a frontend use kmencoder http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmencoder/ or use this simple script to convert ibot's movies http://63.194.216.219/zmencoder.sh.txt
13:19.44oakthat's true
13:19.44trekeor a 128mb CF card :)
13:19.51nodaAnd hell, you could encode the audio with ogg or something, right? No reason op2 wouldn't be able to read it... oh, right, would be too slow to decode though :(
13:19.58chouimathmmm a 2GB CF card
13:20.27oak256mb seems to be by far the best buy right now
13:20.33oak512 and 1gb are horribly overpriced
13:20.35nodaThose things consume lots of power since they actually have to spin up. (microdrives)
13:20.48chouimatoak: I paid 65$ for my 64MB
13:20.51Neo|Workah
13:20.52Neo|Workheh
13:20.58Neo|Workibot lart ibot
13:20.58benmeyerksirc is way too bugy
13:21.02oakyeah i have a 64mb right now, but i found 256 for $85
13:21.04benmeyersomeone send me what was just sent
13:21.07benmeyerwhen I left
13:21.25nodaI use SD for storage, so I can use my CF for wireless :)
13:21.27chouimatoak: a 256MB is 229$ here
13:21.38Harlekinnoda: ?
13:21.47Harlekinnoda: what would be to slow to decode
13:21.48oakyowch
13:22.11nodaHarlekin: Well, encoding with Divx5 and vorbis for audio... that'd take a bit more CPU than the Z has to decode, wouldn't it? At the moment, anyway.
13:22.24Harlekinno
13:22.30oaknoda: i was pondering going the SD route, but i use CF for my camera and printer, and i dont think i'll need mp3 and wireless at the same time too often
13:22.30Harlekinright now its divx5 and mp3
13:22.39Harlekinand mp3 uses more cpu then vorbis
13:22.45nodaHarlekin: it DOES? Oh, wow :)
13:22.51chouimatoak: they are expensive in Canada
13:23.20benmeyerHarlekin: you sure about that?
13:23.25benmeyerI thought it was the other way around
13:23.27nodaHarlekin: Well I'd better start encoding with vorbis then! After all, smaller files and better quality. Is there any reason a Divx5/vorbis video file couldn't be decoded? (or encoded)
13:23.29benmeyerdepending on the encoder etc
13:23.31chouimatoak: a 128MB is 99$ and a 512 MB is about 470$
13:24.15nodaCome to think of it, do any encoders let you encode with vorbis? Seems they're all lame or just audio passthrough.
13:24.19Harlekinbenmeyer: vorbis 14 %
13:24.25Harlekinmp3 18%
13:24.27Harlekinon ipaq
13:24.29benmeyerofftopic: can anyone guess what this girls favorite color is: http://www.weddingprints.com/mainnew/NewFormWindow.cfm?wid=1634&CFID=199603&CFTOKEN=98609497&image=r01f022.jpg&wpath=0190638&mysize=b
13:24.46Harlekinnoda: ogg audio and video in ( windows people call it ogm ) should work too
13:24.52Harlekinmost at least
13:24.56nodaCool :)
13:25.02Harlekinjust that good encoders for that are still missing for linux
13:25.12nodamencoder? transcode?
13:25.15chouimatHarlekin: my brother use ogm now
13:25.16nodaffmpeg...
13:26.06chouimatbenmeyer: black?
13:26.06TheMasterMind1noda: these fonts are great..
13:26.06TheMasterMind1benmeyer: orange?
13:26.06Harlekinnoda: i ment that put it together in a ogm / ogg
13:26.06benmeyerhaha
13:26.06nodaHarlekin: Ah.
13:26.11Harlekinnoda: with vorbis sound
13:26.14nodaThat shouldn't be all that hard to write...
13:26.24nodaogm just means the file is an ogg and it has video, right? I hate file extensions...
13:26.30Harlekintranscode is close at least
13:26.34Harlekinyes
13:26.43Harlekinwindows people "invented" that
13:27.19nodaGod damn, I hate file extensions.
13:27.19Harlekinand xigth hates it
13:27.20nodaNaturally.
13:27.20nodaIt's missing the whole POINT.

14:20.24JasonNJbtw I have the scoop on that new linux pda
14:20.31JasonNJits not in mass production
14:20.37JasonNJand its not made by IBM
14:20.43JasonNJibm did contract work 2 years ago
14:20.46rajaand it doesnt have a cf slot
14:20.48JasonNJon that thing
14:21.00Cam___go on?
14:21.18George-and?
14:21.22George-looks cool
14:21.32George-but I'm drooling over the next generation 640x480 zaurus
14:21.34mandrakewhat new linux pda?
14:21.36JasonNJyeah, well, the company is not particularly stable financially
14:21.43mandrakedid I miss something big?
14:21.49markJasonNJ: are the presumptions that the 640x480 z is for the japanese market at the moment correct?
14:21.52JasonNJI called them up and the president answered the phone
14:21.55George-mandrake: check slashdot

14:54.05TheMasterMind1anyone using jeod on oz?
14:54.34Cloudchaserno but i'd like to
14:54.47Cloudchasernice little port scanner app i had before
14:54.50TheMasterMind1it works, but has to be installed manually
14:55.01TheMasterMind1i need someone to submit an faq on how to do it
14:55.12TheMasterMind1or better yet, fix the creator script
14:55.23kergothTheMasterMind1: we should fix the scripts in the buildroot to rip it out of the romimage too
14:55.28kergothTheMasterMind1: for after the fact
14:55.33kergoth(fact being flash of oz)
14:55.34kergothheh
14:55.34TheMasterMind1yea
14:55.51Cloudchaseri read some stuff on how to do it once
14:56.05Cloudchaserlooked liked a huge pita and my z borked so i don't have any way to get it
14:56.12Cloudchaserunless i re-install sharp rom
14:56.19Cloudchaserand if i do that, i'll just stay with it
14:56.52DaJokerit works just fine with the creator script
14:56.56benmeyerSee you all monday!
14:57.09kergothlater ben
14:57.24DaJokerI've been using the same jeod package from creator since oz2.9.someoldversion
14:57.26TheMasterMind1ok lemme see if i have a jeode ipk
14:59.26TheMasterMind1DaJoker: how do i tell if its working or not
14:59.41DaJokerrun evm
14:59.49TheMasterMind1ok
14:59.51TheMasterMind1it runs
15:00.00TheMasterMind1doesn't do much
15:00.05TheMasterMind1No initial class specified
15:00.07kergothTheMasterMind1: install a java app
15:00.18DaJokerthe problem that people are probably seeing is more than likely that the java apps rely on sharp specifics
15:00.29kergoththere shouldnt be any sharp specifics
15:00.31TheMasterMind1yea probably
15:00.35DaJokerthey have shell scripts that import sharp crap before running evm
15:00.36kergothmost of our paths have symlinks to fool em
15:00.40TheMasterMind1last time i tried to test java apps it didn't go too well
15:00.42TheMasterMind1suggest one i can try
15:00.43DaJokerit's shell logic
15:00.57DaJokerTheMasterMind1: try wapaka.. wap browser
15:01.07DaJokergood for a stripped down ebay.com ;)
15:01.42DaJokerkergoth: like I said..it's the shell scripts needed to run the things that are borked
15:01.55DaJokerthey import sharp functions to get env vars like QT dir and crap..
15:02.01kergotheh?
15:02.04kergothwhat sharp functions?
15:02.11kergothsome script buried in /etc?
15:02.16kergothfind it, we'll include it to fuck with em
15:02.16DaJokerprobably
15:02.23DaJokerI haven't looked too hard
15:02.23Harlekinibot: seen Sniper
15:02.23i haven't seen 'sniper', Harlekin
15:02.42DaJokerI just rip out the env and hard code the scripts the fix em
15:03.01DaJokerbut it's something that does need fixed if jeod is 'going to work on oz'
15:03.01DaJokerblah
15:03.04numatrixibot seen benmeyer
15:03.04benmeyer <~ben@gatekeepernj3.sharpsec.com> was last seen on IRC in channel #zaurus, 6m 8s ago, saying: 'See you all monday!'.
15:03.49TheMasterMind1ibot: die
15:03.49ACTION takes two shots to the head and crumples lifeless.
15:04.00DaJokercrap.. gotta go pick up my son.. bbl..
15:17.37kryhmeyo yo yo
15:21.34TheMasterMind1kryhme: sup
15:23.53kryhmeTheMasterMind1: how's it goin?

16:00.02tux_mikeboogie! kdelibs is done!
16:01.35Pendalarguys I was wondering... if I were to code a game
16:01.42hardwireheh
16:01.48Pendalarand it needed a lot of swap, etc... say a 3D sort
16:02.08Pendalarwould it run faster with a x11 port to Z, or qtopia?
16:02.28tux_mikeif it needs swap it's gonna be slow
16:02.29PendalarI'd think x11 would have less overhead
16:02.35hardwireI think this question depends on your abilities as a programmer
16:03.02Pendalarthat's very true, but I'd just like to see if anyone's done benchmarks of x11 vs qtopia
16:03.20Pendalarif I go through with it, I can't say I want to maintain 2 codes
16:03.38tux_mikei'd say go with qtopia, because that's the user base
16:03.41hardwirethey both write directly to the framebuffer
16:03.42kergothPendalar: what makes you think X has more overhead? you still have to use a toolkit
16:03.49hardwireX11 requires a bit more overhead for the parsing
16:03.56hardwireuse SDL
16:04.02hardwireheh.. and just don't worry about it
16:04.08PendalarI figured x11 was more streamline as it's been around longer
16:04.15hardwireyou gonna use fastGL?
16:04.24Pendalarand would be easier for porting from linux to Z
16:04.26tux_mikejust because somethign's older, doesn't mean it's more streamlined
16:04.35hardwiresure it does
16:04.36kergothin fact, old things get crufty
16:04.40kergothand often its worse
16:04.40hardwiretake joan crawford
16:04.41kergothnot better
16:04.49kergothhardwire: yep, like i said. crufty.
16:04.50PendalarI really haven't decided hardwire, as I'm not sure I have enough time on my hands to do this...
16:04.51kergoth:)
16:04.53hardwireheh
16:04.54tux_mikeapis usually don't change and get slimiar
16:05.00Pendalarlol
16:05.02tux_mikes/similar/streamlined
16:05.24Pendalarplus most of my coding experience is C
16:05.26hardwireright now X11 is much faster than OPIE/QTopia blah
16:05.32br33zyhey all
16:05.34Pendalarand all this is like 'Java! Java!' bah
16:05.37Pendalarhey br33zy
16:05.43br33zyhey Pendalar
16:05.44Harlekinhardwire: lol
16:05.45kergothhardwire: wait for gcc3.2 + glibc 2.3.1 + libelf with prelinking
16:05.47kergothhardwire: :)
16:05.52kergothhardwire: opie will fly
16:05.58hardwireI said right now
16:06.03kergothi'm building it atm
16:06.05Harlekinkergoth: and it does not has to do anything with X
16:06.06tux_mikeyum yum
16:06.10kergothHarlekin: i know
16:06.18Harlekinkergoth: that was the best part
16:06.22kergoth:)
16:06.41hardwireX11 does a much better job with utilizing the framebuffer in a rotated state
16:06.47Pendalarwouldn't it be much harder for a port from x with linux to qtopia ? rather than x to x
16:06.49hardwirewhich if you use an off the shelf zsaurus.. its rotated
16:06.59kergothPendalar: depends on what toolkit you used in X
16:07.04Harlekinhardwire: no
16:07.08ljp_workrotate this!
16:07.19hardwireHarlekin ?
16:07.25tux_mikeljp: ever try hancom on OZ?
16:07.28Harlekinhardwire: you maybe want to read about what X is
16:07.34hardwireyour right
16:07.37Pendalarheh
16:07.39hardwireI don't know what X is
16:07.40Harlekinor moew what its not
16:07.41hardwire:)
16:07.47hardwireHarlekin what the fuck are you talking about
16:07.51hardwireand if its theory .. you can bite me
16:07.54Harlekinkergoth: explain him
16:08.05kergothhey dont look at me, i dont know much about X :)
16:08.29Harlekinkergoth: they where talking about display speed
16:08.36tux_mikeI know what X is!!!
16:08.41kergothtux_mike: congrats!
16:08.41br33zyME TOO!!!!
16:08.44Harlekinkergoth: and hardwires argument was that X is faster then qtopia
16:08.46tux_mikeIt's the 24th letter of the alphabet :)
16:08.46br33zyso does my dog, I think
16:08.46kergothyou should be so proud
16:08.47Pendalarcould I get away with a decent game in qtopia with only c++? and the speed would be decent
16:08.51kergothHarlekin: ohhh. hah.
16:08.52br33zyi still need to teach her 'ls though..
16:08.53Harlekintux_mike: bingo
16:09.15Harlekintux_mike: and there is a quite famous tv show featuring that letter
16:09.28kergothhehe
16:09.39tux_mikeX Files!
16:09.42hardwireHarlekin so far X is faster than opie in scrolling and rotation
16:09.45Harlekinwow
16:09.48br33zytux_mike: /etc/x11
16:09.50hardwireX gives programs a transparent layer to write to
16:09.57hardwireso X takes care of the rotation on a pda
16:09.58Harlekintux_mike is on a winning trip
16:10.04hardwireand interfacing to the hardware
16:10.07hardwirejust like opie
16:10.08tux_mikecan I get the files assoicated with X on my system into an X File?
16:10.15hardwirethats why I was compoaring X and Opie
16:10.22hardwireinstead of say.. gTK  and opie.. which is nothing the same
16:10.22Harlekinhardwire: run qtopia on X
16:10.28Harlekinand you will see its not any faster
16:10.36ljp_worktux_mike: nope, never tried handcom on oz yet
16:10.42tux_mikedamn
16:10.53Harlekinas long as shitty gcc compiler is used
16:10.59hardwireHarlekin: run X :)
16:11.00Harlekinas one part of the problem
16:11.07Harlekinhardwire: yeah, did
16:11.10Harlekinwith opie on it
16:11.46Harlekinand scrolling is sure not more fluent
16:11.50hardwirebut thats sorta adding extra layers there
16:11.52hardwire:)
16:11.55Harlekinno
16:12.01Harlekinread about qpe arch
16:12.04Harlekinitecture
16:12.10hardwirecompare scrolling speed in like.. any opie application running on the framebuffer
16:12.10Harlekinunderstand first
16:12.15hardwireto X scrolling in say dillo
16:12.24Harlekin*sigh*
16:12.47hardwiresigh my fucking ass
16:12.48hardwire:)
16:12.59kergothhardwire: what extra layers? gtk on X on fb. qtopia on qt on fb. i dont see anything extra.
16:13.08hardwirenonono
16:13.09hardwireheh
16:13.14hardwirenevermind
16:13.19hardwirenone of us understand anything
16:13.22TheMasterMind1heh
16:13.24hardwiretruth be told :)
16:13.25kergothi can count though
16:13.29kergothand both come up to 3
16:13.37tux_mikeHarlekin: when you run qpe on top of X, arent you eliminating qws?
16:13.51Harlekinreplacing
16:14.13tux_mikeso therefore, no more layers are added
16:14.20Harlekinyeah
16:14.23Harlekinas i said
16:14.26Harlekinhe should read first
16:14.29tux_mikehow long till opie can be run stabiliy in this fasion?
16:14.32ljp_workwonk-eye
16:14.39Harlekintux_mike: not sure, some apps have problems
16:14.49Harlekintux_mike: and matchbox need more adjustment
16:14.49tux_mikeqcop working?
16:14.50Harlekinkittke
16:14.55Harlekintux_mike: yes
16:15.06Harlekinreplaced
16:15.28tux_mikei'd like this, because it would allow for both Qtopia and X apps :)
16:15.36Harlekinstill
16:15.42Harlekina normal customer would not want it
16:15.48tux_mikeany screen shots of what you have done so far?
16:15.55Harlekinzecke done a lot
16:16.11Harlekintux_mike: and you can use our great new compile system to just build it
16:16.12tux_mikeshouldn't he be working on kitchensync? :)
16:16.16tux_mikeah
16:16.24tux_mikebbiaf... gonna get food

16:16.58Harlekinhttp://handhelds.org/~zecke/screenshots/opie/opie-x26-5.png <- there you see (x) and (ok)
16:21.47hardwirewhen did the opie apps on X thing roll around?
16:21.52hardwireis that with qvfb?
16:22.03ljp_workno real x
16:22.10ljp_workI think.
16:22.12hardwirereal x vs?
16:22.15hardwirefake x?
16:22.18ljp_workya
16:22.30ljp_workzecke converted it and added an x11 build makefile
16:22.35hardwireneat
16:22.37Harlekinits called XNest
16:22.38Harlekinman XNest
16:22.46hardwireHarlekin I know its Xnest
16:22.52hardwiregod damnit dude :)
16:22.53Harlekinnot qvfb
16:23.04hardwireman Stopbeingaprick
16:23.10hardwirefucking a
16:23.11Harlekin00:24 < hardwire> is that with qvfb?
16:23.14kergothman XNestisnotqvfb
16:23.28Pendalarhmm does Quake for Z use swap?
16:23.28Harlekinman getalife .-)
16:23.32hardwireso are you saying qvfb cannot run under xnest?
16:23.35ljp_workman peopleneedtomellowoutdude
16:23.41kergothman noshitsherlock
16:23.46hardwirethats sorta my question
16:23.56kergothhardwire: the opie apps are running against qt/x11
16:23.58kergothhardwire: not qt/e
16:23.59hardwirebut.. it got answered..  by ljp :)
16:24.08Harlekinkergoth: man sherlockisthemacosxfinder
16:24.44Pendalaranyone tried quake yet then?
16:25.20HarlekinPendalar: it would need serious work to be usefull
16:25.20Com[Plex]hey kergoth., is there a java machine in oz3?
16:25.22Harlekinkergoth: maybe we should include doomorifice
16:25.46kergothCom[Plex]: kaffe, but only console. twuin has wabba working on direct FB, or you can just swipe Jeode off your sharp rom
16:25.49Pendalarharlekin do you know if it uses swap directly?
16:25.55kergothPendalar: eh?
16:25.57Harlekinno idea
16:26.02Pendalaras in if I give it say 32mb extra on a CF...
16:26.17Harlekinkergoth: doomorifice would be cool
16:26.26Harlekinrunning arround wifi killing explorers
16:26.33ljp_workman whenisxinegoingtogetfixed
16:26.37Com[Plex]okay.. what parts do I have to grab or jeode from the rom? or should it be pretty obvious?
16:26.51Harlekinljp_work: not sure, current cvs has 2 more serious bugs
16:27.35Harlekinljp_work: i think i will visit guenther for a hacking session
16:27.49ljp_workhmm ok.
16:28.03ljp_workwont op2 need a xinecontrol change also?
16:28.28Com[Plex]op2 is working great on my z right now.
16:28.44Com[Plex]once I zimaged to 32mb ram. no more mem erors.
16:28.46ljp_workya, we're talking about opie cvs
16:28.58ljp_workand xine cvs
16:28.59Harlekinljp_work: not really
16:29.12Harlekinljp_work: i have it allready adapted and running here
16:29.17ljp_workweren't there xine api changes?
16:29.25Harlekinljp_work: yeah
16:29.34Harlekinljp_work: but xine itself is wrapped into lib.cpp
16:29.42Harlekinljp_work: xine control then uses that
16:29.49Harlekinnice abstraction
16:29.50kergothhmm, how to get the buildroot to build two toolchains..
16:29.55kergothin the same build
16:29.57Harlekinso only lib need to be modfied each day
16:30.02kergothwill need to force it to wipe glibc and rebuild again
16:30.03kergothhmm
16:30.17ljp_workhmm.. well.. bbl..
16:30.18nodaBuild two glibc's?
16:30.32kergothnoda: er, i'm dense, we need one only, but it needs to install it into both locations
16:30.48nodakergoth: Ah, I just did a double-take on that sentence before :)
16:30.54kergothHarlekin: adding an option to build the C apps with 3.2, and the c++ apps with 2.95.4, to gain optimizations on the c apps while retaining BC
16:31.03Harlekin kergoth actually we could make a oz release, featuring a double set
16:31.07kergothyep
16:31.09Harlekinwill will need a cf
16:31.16Harlekinso people can still run the old apps
16:31.24kergothhmm, you have the details on how to make that work?
16:31.31Harlekinbut our stuff is on qt3, glibc2.3.1, gcc.3.2.1 with prelink
16:31.40kergothyeah
16:31.45Harlekinkergoth: you need everthing double
16:32.05Harlekinthe linker is intelligent enough to find the right stuff during runtime
16:32.12kergothlibqt, libqpe, libopie?
16:32.26kergothwell, not libopie really, dont know of any apps outside opie tha tuse it
16:32.29Harlekinglibc, gcc
16:32.37Harlekinkergoth: yes
16:33.06kergothnow i have to teach teh buildroot to build multiple qts and qpes
16:33.07kergothhehe
16:33.20kergothHarlekin: thinks .. considers..
16:33.38Harlekinto ponder
16:33.38Harlekin

16:33.41Harlekinah
16:33.42Harlekin.-)
16:33.52Harlekin"grübeln"
16:34.53kergoththis is going to be a pain, i need to make the buildroot know how to build multiple copies of the same thing, but with different opts/vars
16:34.55Infamousyou know how too encode movies using virtualdub?
16:34.58Harlekinkergoth: or we switch to a good compiler .-)
16:35.07kergoth:)
16:35.24Harlekinthe intel compiler looks promising
16:35.35Harlekinand has nice libs to use all the featured stuff on xscale

18:24.54badalexgodsmoke|other: i dought it
18:25.26godsmoke|otherbadalex: is there a 3rd party player that might?
18:25.33badalexgodsmoke|other: not yet...
18:25.37godsmoke|otherI want to play the bmwfilms movies on mine
18:25.56badalexgodsmoke|other: what version of wmv?
18:26.06godsmoke|otherbadalex: I don't know
18:26.11godsmoke|otherhow do I find out
18:26.11godsmoke|other?
18:26.32badalexgodsmoke|other: i dont know much anything about wmv
18:26.38badalexgodsmoke|other: rencode them..?
18:26.42godsmoke|otherbadalex: neither do I :)
18:26.43badalexgodsmoke|other: windows or linux?
18:26.55godsmoke|otherhah ... I'm not going to reencode them
18:26.58godsmoke|otherI'm using linux
18:27.15badalexwell do you have anything on your linux that will play them?
18:27.16badalexlike mplayer, xmms ?
18:27.21godsmoke|otheryes
18:27.27badalexwhat... xine?
18:27.31godsmoke|otheryeah
18:27.52badalexwell opiemedia player 2 might.. be able to play them then
18:27.54badalexibot op2
18:27.54hmm... op2 is a media player which is currently in beta stage, which will be able to play streaming mp3, ogg, and MPEG4 (DivX/XviD) movies, and other formats. The backend uses the xine libs. http://www.adamhooper.com:4242/zaurus/op2_howto.php
18:28.08godsmoke|otherbadalex: yeah ... I can't use openzaurus
18:28.14badalexit is based on xine soo.... your guess is as good as mine
18:28.19badalexgodsmoke|other: you dont need oz
18:28.20godsmoke|otherI need some e-mail features that it can't handle yet
18:28.30godsmoke|otheroh ok
18:28.51badalexgodsmoke|other: rom version?
18:29.17godsmoke|otherhmm ... lemmie check
18:29.28godsmoke|otherbbl
18:30.42badalexgodsmoke|other: well when you get back... go to http://arachni.kiwi.uni-hamburg.de/~harlekin/op2/ and get the opie-mediaplayer2_0.9.1-20020905_retail_rom_arm.ipk and opie-mediaplayer-codecs_0.2.2_arm.ipk
18:30.53badalexgodsmoke|other: then install them from the consel
18:31.00godsmoke|otheryeah ok
18:31.03godsmoke|otherone sec
18:31.32badalexok
18:31.46badalexconsle or however you spell it...
18:31.46godsmoke|otherbefore I install I need to know if it supports wmvs
18:31.49godsmoke|otherwhich is not likely
18:31.55badalexi dont know...
18:32.04ElzWhereanyone know how to start fluxbox on OZ?
18:32.11badalexall i know is it is based on xine
18:32.11TheMasterMind1ElzWhere: hmm, yes
18:32.20TheMasterMind1ElzWhere: grab the X script from tjhsst.edu/~agupta/tinyx/
18:32.30TheMasterMind1and you probably want xmonobut installed
18:32.39ElzWherei got it installed both tinyx and fluxbox
18:32.50TheMasterMind1get monobut too
18:32.55ElzWherek
18:33.00TheMasterMind1then change /usr/bin/X to be the same as the one in that link i gave you

19:14.10sjborch|deskIt's a little "dumbed down" like when you install Ximian's desktop and your computer gets GNOME'd.
19:14.37badalexsjborch|desk: so is mandrake... and redhat a little.
19:14.50badalexi would say mandrake is the dumbed downer of the too
19:14.51badalexlol
19:14.54sjborch|deskXandros comes with two CD's. One that just "works" and the bleeding edge with KDE 3.0, etc.
19:15.19sjborch|deskI'm going to install the second one at home.
19:15.36ljpgentoo rox
19:15.46badalexproabaly... lol
19:15.51badalexim still scared of it
19:16.07sjborch|deskAt least we're starting to have a choice.
19:16.54badalexsjborch|desk:  a choice, ill say. there are too many distros to know em all... lol
19:17.14sjborch|deskI liked the comment of "spending a week flogging debian to life"
19:19.11badalexwell g2g to a lan party c you guys later... :)
19:19.41sjborch|deskI'd better head home, too.
19:33.29Infamouscan anyone help me encode movies to fit on the Z?
19:33.49TheMasterMind1ibot mencoder
19:33.49rumour has it, mencoder is an excellent mpeg4 encoder that can be used to encode movies for the zaurus, see http://www.mplayerhq.hu and for a frontend use kmencoder http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmencoder/ or use this simple script to convert ibot's movies http://63.194.216.219/zmencoder.sh.txt
19:34.27Infamouswell i have virtualdub...i know i can use that....but i'm not sure
19:34.39Infamousand what's better mpeg-1 or mpeg-4
19:35.44TheMasterMind1guess
19:43.48Infamouswell what are the differences
19:45.13treke|homeInfamous: mpeg 4 is usually smaller
19:45.23treke|homempeg1 is larger and easier to decode
19:45.32treke|homempeg4 is smaller and harder to decode
19:46.26Infamousahh
19:47.39ljpand mpeg11 is still top secret
19:47.45InfamousI read on zauruszone.com that the new sharp PDAs will be presented next week.....i still can't decide whether to buy the Z now or wait for the new one :-/
19:48.07ljpthe new one I think is more like a small laptop
19:48.26Infamouswell they're presenting 2...one is like a mini laptop
19:49.00ljpahh maybe an a-300 for US
19:49.14ljpor 5600
19:49.31treke|homeljp: JasonNJ has said quite a bit that its basicallu 5500 with different hardware
19:50.02oGMohey, anyone know of a barcode scanner that would work with the Z?
19:50.11oGMoattaching to the serial port is preferable to CF
19:50.21oGMosince i want 802.11b in the CF
19:51.00br33zywhats that one graphical app that can configure x?
19:51.40patrykHas anyone here been able to install software to their Zaurus from linux?
19:51.48patryk(linux on their desktop?)
19:52.38oGMopatryk: ftp myzaurus 4242
19:52.50oGMolog in as root, put your package in Documents/ and go
19:53.14oGMowith OZ3 you can just scp it over, even easier, or do it over the network (i've never tried that)
19:53.18patryk[patryk@tanooki patryk]$ ftp 192.168.129.201
19:53.18patrykftp: connect: Connection refused
19:53.42oGMoer
19:53.48oGMosee the 4242 part :P
19:53.52patrykhaha!
19:53.52patrykSorry!
19:53.53patryk=)
19:53.59oGMoheh ;)
19:54.20patrykheheh
19:54.29patrykexcellent
19:55.04oGMomuch easier than sync stuff imho
19:55.16patrykabsolutely!  I mean, I've looked at prolly half a dozen pages
19:55.23patrykand no one mentioned that ftp was running
19:55.29patryk(on that port, etc)
19:55.51patrykHow do you get the Documents folder to refresh?
19:56.01patrykrestart?
19:57.10patrykAh
19:57.20patryklooks like the package installer sees it anyway.
19:58.29patrykoGMo-- thanks a lot!
19:58.33TheMasterMind1USE OPENZAURUS
20:00.27patrykTheMasterMind1: I may give that a whirl. =)
20:06.30oGMohrmm
20:08.58ljpmeow
20:09.08oGMoljp.
20:09.22oGMoi need to find some info about barcode readers
20:09.50oGMoi have the potential of getting the University of Washington to purchase a number of Z's and some related gear
20:10.30ljphmm..
20:10.52ljpbarcode reader for Z sounds familiar..
20:11.04oGMosomething i could plug into the serial port would rock
20:12.58kryhmeanyone ever mess with frodo?
20:13.18oGMohmm i see a CF barcode reader
20:13.39kryhmethere was one written for that developers challenge
20:13.45kryhmei think it's on zsi
20:14.22oGMokryhme: hmm
20:15.10kryhmeoh, are you talking about hardware
20:15.18kryhmei miessed half the conversations
20:15.31oGMothat too, but the software OUGHT to have pointers to working hardware ;)
20:15.39kryhmetrue
20:18.56hardwirekryhme doesn't pay
20:18.57hardwireI asked
20:20.09kryhmekryhme does not pay
20:20.20oGMoah hah
20:20.23kryhmei wish i could get this frodo to work
20:20.35oGMoscanchamp reads crap right off a serial port from one of these
20:20.43DaJokeroGMo: I think prpplague is doing barcode reading with Z's.. IIRC
20:20.51oGMohowever, $249 is fucking insane
20:20.59ljpmy cat really really wants to eat the cursor

20:59.07ljpnot sure
20:59.49kryhme+= gayness
21:01.28SaurianEvening all
21:01.34ljphi]
21:02.00Cloudchaserhi
21:02.42SaurianAnyone know if anyone plans on porting the Perl/QT stuff to the Z?
21:03.19TheMasterMind1perl is enourmous
21:03.34ljpthere is a perl for arm
21:03.47SaurianYes, but are they porting the QT bindings? }:)
21:03.55TheMasterMind1heh
21:03.56TheMasterMind1"they"
21:04.00ljphavent heard
21:04.45ljpsomeone did PyQt
21:05.13TheMasterMind1really?
21:05.15TheMasterMind1where's that at
21:05.20DaJokerriverbank
21:05.23DaJoker;)
21:05.27TheMasterMind1heh
21:05.52TheMasterMind1DaJoker: you think its possible to port phoenix to opie?
21:05.57TheMasterMind1qt
21:05.58TheMasterMind1whatever
21:06.04DaJokerTheMasterMind1: have at it
21:06.25TheMasterMind1what gui does it use
21:06.27TheMasterMind1i wonder
21:06.29DaJokergtk
21:06.39TheMasterMind1bah
21:07.09ljptheres a qt mozilla
21:07.18TheMasterMind1yea, but its huge
21:07.24DaJokerljp: yep.. but I couldn't get it small enough to be useable..
21:09.26ljpstart over, and just use the mozilla engine
21:10.33DaJokerthe engine alone is pretty large
21:10.42DaJoker2+ meg
21:11.37ljpstrip jacascript
21:11.45ljpjavascript
21:11.52DaJokerthat's without javascript
21:12.24DaJokerjavascript lib alone is 1.6M
21:12.28DaJokercrazy stuff
21:12.33TheMasterMind1heh
21:12.46TheMasterMind1did you strip debugging from all libs/binaries?
21:12.53DaJokerof course
21:13.21ljpdid you strip before you started writing code? I hear sometimes that helps
21:13.40DaJokeryeah, but only when my wife wasn't around
21:13.59TheMasterMind1lol
21:14.05TheMasterMind1was or wasn't ?
21:14.08TheMasterMind1;)
21:14.30DaJokerwasn't..  I'd never get any coding done.. she'd just want sex..
21:14.38DaJoker;)
21:14.39TheMasterMind1lol
21:48.26jb_any QT people out there know if there's a way to find the x/y position of a particular row/column in a QMultiLineEdit?
21:51.46rikkusmove the cursor there, then do cursorPoint()
21:51.54rikkusand move the cursor back if you need to
21:53.23jb_rikkus: cool! thanks man....
21:53.53rikkusjb_: note that QMultiLineEdit is deprecated. I'm not sure what you're supposed to use now, if you want to do the same thing.
21:54.36rikkusQTextEdit (which it inherits from) doesn't seem to have anything to help with finding the cursor x/y pos (or indeed the x/y pos of a column/row)
21:55.15jb_rikkus: I wish I could use QTextEdit (for the nice color syntax capabilities), but afaik it's not included in the version of qt/e
21:55.22rikkusah yes
21:55.31jb_rikkus: thus, QMultiLineEdit. ;-(
21:55.54rikkuswell, QMultiLineEdit isn't likely to disappear under you for a while if you're using Qt/E :)
21:56.07jb_exactly ;-)
21:56.28jbwivrikkus: course, I'd *gladly* give it up for QTextEdit :)
21:57.05rikkuswell, you could always copy the necessary stuff into your project... but that might make it a bit large :}
21:58.05jbwivrikkus: I looked at that awhile back.  Turned into a real pain in the ass real quick :)
21:58.15rikkusyep
21:58.28rikkuswhen I first started doing embedded stuff, I had to copy lots of Qt 3 stuff in
21:58.33jbwivrikkus: in hindsight, tho, it may have saved me some time. oh well, you live, you learn.
21:58.36rikkusI've got rid of it all now, thankfully
21:59.06jbwivwhy does qt/e lag behind so much I wonder?  QT 3 can't be *that* much more resource intensive...
21:59.28rikkusno idea
22:01.00jbwivrikkus: ah...cursorPoint worked nicely. much appreciated :)
22:37.24kryhmewhenever i load up eide or minide, i get the hour glass, but neither program ever comes up.... is there something i didn't install???
22:51.46kryhme if i chmod +x something, how do i reverse that>?
22:52.09treke|homejust a guess... -x?
22:52.19kryhmebusybox doesn't take it
22:52.27kryhmeand i forget the 3 digit number stuff
22:52.44kryhme-rw-r--r--
22:52.46treke|homethat seems highly unlikely to me
22:53.55kryhmeif you're on oz, try and chmod +x something and then try and -x it
22:54.01kryhmedoesn't take
22:54.25treke|homego bug kergoth  then
22:54.59kryhmei'll just work around it for now, maybe try and learn the 755 crap, i'll tell him when i see him
22:55.51treke|homeprobably doesnt like just -x. try u-x
22:56.30SirPsycho-homethe way it works is u(ser) g(roup) and o(ther).. you can chmod ugo+x or ugo-x or whatever you want
22:56.41SirPsycho-homenumerically it is three octal numbers
22:57.57SirPsycho-home777 is all bits on.. 654 would be rw.r.x.wr..
22:58.29kryhmeyeah, i got it goin, thanks
22:58.55kryhmehas anyone ever gotten minide or eide to run on oz?
22:59.04kryhmeit's really giving me a hassle
22:59.11codemnkywhat kinda hassle
23:00.11kryhmethey're both giving me permission denied errors, which is why i was messing with the +x stuff.  but then even when i find the binarys and make them executable and run them they start looking for stuff that isn't there
23:00.44kryhmeor errors like /bin/sh can't open eide
23:01.15kryhmecan't open /home/QtPalmtop/bin/installdir.sh
23:01.42codemnkyi see alot of stuff in google about it, personally i have'nt used it
23:02.17codemnkysorry
23:02.24kryhmewhat about when it looks for /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/evm
23:02.49kryhmeany idea what that is
23:02.52treke|homekryhme: sounds like you dont have everyhing installd
23:02.55codemnkyeide needs java doesn't it?
23:03.16codemnkyand oz doesn't come with java
23:03.19codemnkyi thought
23:03.29codemnkyor maybe i don't know what i'm talking about
23:03.39kryhmeno, you're right
23:04.29codemnkymaybe that's part of the problem
23:05.13kryhmepossibly, the eide page has a tar file on it with the compiler libraries and stuff you need.  i probably didn't get that part installed right
23:05.41kryhmei don't think either of those programs need the compiler stuff to function though, just to compiler
23:05.45kryhmecompiler
23:05.48kryhmecrap
23:05.52kryhmecompile
23:06.03codemnkyhmm
23:06.07kryhmei'm just gonna scrap this one tonight
23:06.33codemnkyi don't know anything about edie but it looks like a java editor?
23:06.36codemnkyis that right?
23:06.43codemnkyso you can code java apps on the Z?
23:06.57kryhmeyeah, code and compile
23:07.19codemnkyman that's crazy, but cool.  you're thumbs will get tired ;)
23:08.16kryhmeyeah, i use my z to take notes in class sometimes, so i get used to it.... it's not the most ideal thing... but it's awesome if you're somewhere where you don't have anything else to do, and you've got your z in your pocket
23:09.40codemnkyheh
23:10.04codemnkyi broke down and also got the thera
23:10.10codemnkyheard of that?
23:11.14codemnkyit does run pocket pc which isn't ideal, but has a built in phone and verizon has a 144k network, so i can aim or ssh, terminal services to my machines
23:14.00treke|homeeew. Pocket PC
23:14.23treke|homenot ideal is an understatement :)
23:15.41codemnkyyea
23:15.45codemnkybut it's cool
23:15.56codemnkyi wish the Z had a built in modem
23:15.59codemnkyi'm waiting
23:16.21codemnkyhey
23:16.28codemnkytreke
23:16.39codemnkyit does have the same ARM proc
23:16.41codemnkyhmm
23:16.53treke|homecodemnky: It also doesnt have any specs released
23:18.27codemnkyyea bastards
23:19.10codemnkythe reason i got it is if i'm at the movies and something breaks i can fix it without driving to work
23:19.14treke|homea built in phone would be nice, but Qtopia is worth carrying my nokia around :)
23:19.33treke|homehehe. I just ignore the phone in that case
23:19.37codemnkyheh
23:19.50codemnkyhave you see the wap shell?
23:19.52codemnkyseen
23:19.58codemnkyi thought that was need

23:22.13treke|homenot that my phone can do any of that cool shit :)
23:22.14codemnkyyou can have a special startup rc file with short cut aliases
23:22.28codemnkylike ra = reboot apache
23:22.35codemnkynot that you would need to do that
23:23.29codemnkyi went from one job having 30 linux systems in miami, fl to having to move to la, ca where i have 30 nts
23:23.32codemnkyi'm in hell
23:23.55treke|homecould be worse
23:24.00codemnkytrue

23:28.53treke|homejbwiv: might be called mid
23:29.23treke|homehttp://doc.trolltech.com/2.3/qstring.html#3b1493

23:30.36codemnkywhy would they call it mid
23:30.40codemnkyinteresting
23:30.46codemnkydoes anyone else call it mid?
23:32.20SirPsycho-homeused to be called mid in basic =)
23:32.35codemnkylike commodore 64 basic?
23:32.49SaurianYep
