02:32.37Phroziaci give up with that crap for tonight
02:37.26euphemwhat crap
02:39.41Phroziactrying to get my linux machine to work with my zaurus 5500
02:40.14Phroziaci can see in dmesg that it does see the zaurus, but, i cant connect
02:41.20Phroziacany ideas on that?
02:50.06luke-jr_um
02:50.10luke-jr_did you config usb0?
02:51.03Phroziacwell, i set it up like the faq for linux generic and debian say, but, it seems there is no /dev/usb0
02:51.20Phroziacwhat do i need to do to get it there?
02:51.31luke-jr_who said /dev?
02:52.41Phroziacwell doesnt there need to be one for it to work?
02:52.49luke-jr_there's no /dev/eth0...
02:52.53luke-jr_yet eth0 works fine
02:53.04Phroziacoh
02:53.18Phroziacwell i don't know all that much about hardware with linux
02:53.20luke-jr_I think some BSDs might use /dev/eth* etc, but not Linux
02:53.24luke-jr_ifconfig usb0
02:54.06Phroziacusb0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
02:54.10luke-jr_modprobe usbnet
02:54.24Phroziaci dont use modules
02:54.29luke-jr_...
02:54.42Phroziaci have everything compiled into my kernel
02:54.45luke-jr_usbnet?
02:54.52Phroziaci'll check, i think so
02:55.20Phroziacyes
02:55.23luke-jr_lsusb
02:55.53Phroziacam i supposed to type that as a command?
02:56.00luke-jr_yes
02:56.14Phroziacbash: lsusb: command not found
02:56.34luke-jr_...
02:56.43luke-jr_you using LFS or something?
02:56.43Phroziacoh
02:57.03Phroziacits not there, i tried it as root too
02:57.08Phroziaci don't know what LFS is
02:57.16luke-jr_what OS are you running?
02:57.24luke-jr_most Linux-based have lsusb...
02:57.29Phroziacdebian
02:57.47luke-jr_um ok... debian has no excuse for lacking lsusb
02:58.05Phroziaci cant even find it in apt
02:58.07luke-jr_/usr/sbin/lsusb ?
02:58.19Phroziacnope
02:58.39luke-jr_apt-get install usbutils?
02:58.59Phroziac11.5 mb!
02:59.06Phroziacim on dialup
02:59.18Phroziacdo i need that?
02:59.21luke-jr_well, it's about time you get basic system utils =p
02:59.54Phroziacanyway, i can see in my dmesg crap that would show the system can see what the zaurus is
03:00.15subdueif you run debian, you have to use where you grabbed all that from
03:00.21subduenone of the oz stuff or anything else will work
03:00.29luke-jr_???
03:00.32Phroziacwhat?
03:00.45Phroziacby the way this doesnt tell you anything does it? usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Sharp
03:00.46subduewherever he grabbed the debian from
03:01.01Phroziaci dont use oz though
03:01.09subduetry the zug forums
03:01.15subdueyou might get lucky there

03:01.44Phroziacthe zaurus is stock
03:01.44luke-jr_Phroziac: you're using OZ, right?
03:01.47luke-jr_o
03:01.48luke-jr_hmm
03:01.48Phroziacno luke-jr_
03:01.55subdue(Phroziac): i dont use oz though
03:02.05luke-jr_IIRC, Sharp's OS has older usbnet drivers
03:02.11luke-jr_that I never got to work with latest
03:02.20subdueon the Z. is it debian or sharp os?
03:02.21luke-jr_might need to port some old 2.4 patches :|
03:02.27Phroziacsubdue: sharp

13:11.08Phroziacblah
13:11.12Phroziacanyone there?
13:11.14wayneyes
13:13.23PhroziacI really would like to sync my (stock rom) zaurus to my debian machine. it seems to see it (as noticed in dmesg), but it denies the existance of usb0
13:13.34Phroziaci followed the directions on the site
13:14.08Phroziacthere is one thing i can think of... "note: one caviat. In addition to the configuration you enter for the vendor and product ids per the howto, in order to ensure hotplugging works properly, you need to set "usbd network class" to 2. "
13:14.23PhroziacI couldn't find that in the kernel config so i skipped it
13:14.35waynewhich device are you using?
13:14.44Phroziac5500
13:16.36Phroziaci have rom version 2.12
13:16.53waynewhich debian kernel do you have?
13:17.22Phroziaci have 2.6.10, but its a regular one from kernel.org
13:18.38wayneyou need the usbnet module
13:18.44wayneerr, usbdnet
13:18.52waynewhich has the setting you're missing
13:19.06Phroziacbi have usbnet, but i couldnt find anything saying usbdnet
13:19.24waynehmm than soryr, i don't know more than that
13:21.20Phroziacatleast i finally figured out the handwriting recognition...way better then grafitti :)
13:22.03waynewhich graffiti, 1 or 2 ?
13:22.18waynebecause it's better than graffiti2, not better than 1, in my opinion
13:22.26waynegraffiti1 is the best i've seen in any handheld, ever
13:22.47Phroziacmy palm is an m100, thats what i know
13:23.06wayneok that's graffiti1
13:23.20waynei can't see why you would prefer the zaurus's method
13:24.53Phroziaci just do
13:25.13waynehow long did you use your m100?
13:25.20Phroziacby the way, i'm new to the zaurus. what are the advantages of keeping the stock rom, against the other os's
13:25.24Phroziaci used it for a few years
13:25.32PhroziacI got it new and stopped using it in january
13:26.06Phroziacthere were periods of rarely using it, but i got a lot of use on it before the battery change dataloss thing started happening
13:26.16wayneokay
13:26.53wayneabout your rom, you basically have 3 other choices
13:27.14Phroziaci do think its kinda silly that it runs linux, but doesn't look like linux (windows handhelds look like windows)
13:27.34wayneCacko is a modified sharp rom. Softwares are changed, tweaked, as is the memory map and some other things. You probably want to at least try that one
13:28.05waynethat's because linux has nothing graphical. People mix those up. Windows is two things: os + GUI
13:28.20waynelinux is just the OS.
13:28.40waynea linux pda couldn'T look like linux, but it could look like Gnome with OpenZaurus GPE
13:29.07Phroziacwell, that is true, but, when i think of linux with a gui, i think of a sexy x11 interface
13:29.46wayneOpenZaurus OPIE is sexy
13:30.11wayneand OpenZaurus GPE does really look like a sleek gnome desktop
13:30.12Phroziacand on the 5500 what do i do to back the rom up?
13:30.28waynei have no idea how to do that
13:30.39Phroziacare there any kde's?
13:31.18wayneno, but the Watapon Rom on the zaurus 5600 does have KDE applications (not desktop)
13:34.19Phroziacand it seems like a bunch of bull to get this to sync to linux, i think i might just hook it up on the windows machine in the other room. *barf*
13:35.44*** join/#zaurus nessie (~nessie@lucifer.nerdfest.org)
13:36.42Phroziacoz sounds really nice, especially since yesterday i was told there's a vim for it. any disadvantages?
13:39.21waynePhroziac: do you plan on having a wifi card on your zaurus? Because that would entirely defeat the purpose of syncing USB. That's what I do. My zaurus "syncs" via wifi
13:39.46Phroziaci dont have wifi
13:39.55wayneyes, it's very slow. OpenZaurus GPE is. OPIE is faster but i couldn' test it thoroughly because it crashed too frequently
13:39.55Phroziacdon't plan on using it
13:40.06Phroziachmmm
13:40.10Phroziacvery slow? screw that
13:40.15wayneopie should be considerably faster though
13:40.30wayneyou should at lest try it out and see for yourself, like i said, i didn't test it much.
13:40.37Phroziaci think i will try cackle
13:40.50wayneCacko
13:40.57Phroziacyeah
13:41.33Phroziacwhat will i do to get the original rom back on it? just download it from sharp and do there install instructions?
13:42.08waynei'm not sure about the 5500 but if it's anything like the 5600, you can flash it via USB from a windows machine
13:42.58Phroziacwell it looks like  i can from what i read
13:43.29Phroziacdo i need the whole cd to set this up on the windows machine?
13:44.31waynei'm not sure
13:44.48wayneyou may need the CD to install the proper USB drivers so that your unit is recognized
13:44.56waynethe updater software does not contain driver, typically.
13:46.17Phroziacwell i have no idea where the cd is, and i dont have the bandwith to download it
13:47.11wayneit's only 25 megs
13:47.59Phroziac...dialup
13:48.12Phroziacit would take me all day and all night to grab that
13:49.53wayneso? You don'T have to do this today
13:50.15PhroziacWhen you download stuff on dialup, you have no other bandwith to use
13:50.25wayneon a slow dialup, this download takes 3 and a half hours
13:50.32waynejust set it before you go to bed
13:50.53Phroziacmy parents wake up in the middle of the night, shut the computer off, and bitch at me in the morning
13:51.27wayneuse a download manager program that shuts down the computer after the download :)
13:52.46Phroziacthey always get to it before its done
13:52.51Phroziaci really dont see what the problem is anyway
13:53.00Phroziaci leave my bedroom computer on for a week at a time usually
13:53.27licksjphello
13:53.48waynethen what's the problem?
13:53.55Phroziacby the way, if i wanted to set up a wireless lan for this, what would it cost?
13:54.03Phroziacwayne: there personalities ;p you know how parents are
13:54.11Phroziacthey don't know i leave my computer on like that either
13:54.16waynePhroziac: yes i know, i'hve had two and I am one :)
13:54.40waynecheap wifi card is 30$, and a cheap wifi access point would be roughly the same
13:56.31licksjpMay I question?
13:56.46luke-jr_(if you're lucky, you can get wifi for $20 like I did =p)
13:57.14wayneyeah sometimes, stores will make incredible mail-in rebate thingies and whatnot
13:57.47luke-jr_Phroziac: usbnet Win32 drivers aren't very big-- 196 KB
13:58.20luke-jr_http://dashjr.org/~luke-jr/mirror/win32/usbnet/
13:58.21Phroziacluke-jr_: what about the software to sync it? and the windows is xp by the way
13:58.44Phroziacor do i just put the driver on the windows box and access it over the lan?
13:58.50luke-jr_For XP, don't download *95*
13:58.58Phroziaclol
13:59.23Phroziacand which is cheaper, mmc or cf cards?
13:59.27luke-jr_CF
13:59.28luke-jr_but
13:59.36luke-jr_Wifi is CF-only, last I checked
13:59.45luke-jr_so SD is better for storage so CF is free for Wifi
13:59.53Phroziacok
14:00.03Phroziacthere isnt wireless built in?
14:00.10luke-jr_no
14:00.12luke-jr_...
14:00.25Phroziacwell it had settings for wireless lan, led me to believe it was built in
14:00.58luke-jr_the software supports wifi
14:01.03luke-jr_if you have the hardware
14:01.49luke-jr_Wifi is one of the things Sharp's OS actually does better than most
14:01.51waynePhroziac: other zaurus unist have wifi builtin, such as the sl-6000
14:01.54luke-jr_roaming, at least
14:02.12luke-jr_wayne: only one version of the 6000, IIRC

14:02.29wayneluke-jr_: i just wish i had something that scanned for open AP to connect to.. problem is, kismet doesn't support my card :/
14:02.34wayneluke-jr_: right
14:02.43Phroziachttp://dashjr.org/~luke-jr/mirror/win32/usbnet
14:02.55luke-jr_wayne: Sharp's OS automatically connects to any open AP; kismet doesn't connect at all, AFAIK
14:02.57Phroziacdoes the zaurus age well by the way?
14:03.02luke-jr_Phroziac: age well?
14:03.19waynePhroziac: you're copy/pasting in IRC to give yourself a url across your two computers... that'S funny :) you could /msg yourself
14:03.36wayneluke-jr_: oh, right then
14:03.54frozyeah, is it still fairly modernish, and will it stay that way a while
14:04.04wayneyes
14:04.11waynethey are very well built hardware wise
14:04.21wayneand there's ongoing projects working on the software (such as openzaurus)
14:04.41licksjpI have SL-C750
14:04.46luke-jr_wayne: OZ really just packages stuff... =p
14:04.50Ph[win]im on a different kb layout here so dont make me type much
14:04.54luke-jr_wayne: and there's no roaming Wifi stuff for Linux yet
14:05.02Ph[win]im not good on qwerty anymore
14:05.17luke-jr_so use dvorak
14:05.27wayneluke-jr_: yes but they package software for the zaurus, which are ongoing projects :)
14:05.35Ph[win]so its my dads computer
14:05.57luke-jr_I need to work on my Dvorak
14:06.04luke-jr_Ph[win]: so?
14:06.11Ph[win]actually he wouldnt notice
14:06.13luke-jr_wayne: What projects are there for roaming?
14:06.22luke-jr_wayne: I'm not aware of any ongoing
14:06.30Ph[win]hes the worst sf the hnt n peckers
14:06.53wayneluke-jr_: i was not talking about roaming... i was just asnweing the "age well?" question, satating that there's efforts for software on the zaurus right now, so it's unlikely to suddently die
14:07.00Ph[win]to tpe Hello, after the first L, lhunt for it again
14:07.37Ph[win]is it possible to do dvorak on the zaurus?
14:07.53luke-jr_in theory
14:08.20luke-jr_Not really tho
14:08.26luke-jr_notice it's not a full QWERTY kb
14:08.33luke-jr_lacks the symbols on the right
14:08.38luke-jr_which Dvorak uses as letters
14:09.23Ph[win]Oh :(
14:09.41Ph[win]oh well im good enough at qwerty to use that thing
14:10.29waynetalking about keyboards
14:10.42waynedoes anyone know how to do ALT-key combinations on the 5x00 layout?
14:10.44Ph[win]do i need to reboot after installing the drivers?
14:10.48luke-jr_Dvorak is nice, but don't forget QWERTY
14:10.54luke-jr_Ph[win]: dunno

17:39.48zip|6kLmp3
17:40.19Phroziachmm for $70 bucks i could get a 512mb mmc card
17:40.30Phroziacbut that costs as much as an rc battery pack :/
17:40.49Phroziacwill it actually work with a 256mb card?
17:41.08zip|6kLyeah
17:41.15Phroziacnice

17:56.30radugaif you count the funding/support that compaq used to offer the Familiar dev team
17:56.33zip|6kLthen thoughs yopy ppl
17:56.46radugaI *think* yopy is dead
17:56.47radugaI can check
17:58.09waynePhroziac: by the way, if you plan on making mp3s, consider the VBR format which gets a slightly better quality/filesize ratio than plain-vanilla mp3
17:58.39wayneor consider Ogg vorbis. with respect to filesize, considerably better quality, so for equal quality you'd have even smaller files.
17:59.18radugayopy.com looks pretty dead to me
17:59.42radugahrm.

18:07.52koyotenot sure yet if the external screen capability will get hacked well enough to make those really good laptop replacements
18:07.53PhroziacThey want me to rot here until i commit suicide
18:08.09radugathey don't want you to kill yourself. they want you to be happy.
18:08.23radugaand to live a fulfilled and productive life.
18:08.45Phroziacthen why is my dad constantly bitching at me and my mom threatening to leave?
18:09.45koyotehey, it's what they *Want*, that doesn't mean that their habits and programs and stress levels (and yours) allow them to express it
18:09.55ViVraduga, you should turn him to dark side of force, use the moment
18:10.13koyotethis will help you immensely in life if you can really get down into it:
18:10.55koyoteeveryone you have met, and will meet, is one of the walking wounded, and has been through more shit than the average fictional torture victim
18:11.13Phroziacyou mean they're like me then
18:11.40koyoteeveryone
18:11.49zip|6kLyour face!
18:11.51koyoteoh, and no one is right.
18:12.25koyotewhich doesn't mean anyone is wrong, just that no one is right
18:12.46PhroziacI feel like shoving my foot so far up my dads ass it'll get stuck at the moment.
18:13.16koyotethat feeling is the result of a decision you made- to have that feeling

18:15.59koyoteit's your decision to get pissed
18:16.07koyotebut if it's more fun than enjoying, go for it
18:16.35zip|dawise jedi tell me once this: man who stand on toliot, is high on pot
18:16.51koyotethe biggest problem here is that people keep *letting* other *decide* how they feel

19:23.11PhroziacI found a vim for the zaurus
19:23.18Phroziacnow..wheres the insert key?
19:24.01pgasi ?
19:30.17pgaswhat is the insert key supposed to do?
19:30.47shadowingallow you to write in the text
19:31.14pgasso i is the answer
19:31.22shadowingyup
19:31.32shadowingfor almost all linux distro
19:31.49pgas??????
19:31.50shadowingand on the zaurus too
19:32.19shadowingas vi is a standard, it's always the same key ? make sens no ?
19:32.42pgasthat's why the "almost" puzzled me a bit
19:33.11shadowingi know, i did it in purpose, sorry
19:33.13shadowing;)
19:33.21r2d3'i' is standard 'insert' for vi
19:33.26shadowingyes
19:33.41r2d3actually, it predates vi
19:34.50Phroziacok
19:35.02Phroziacwell i never used the i command to go into insert mode
19:35.06PhroziacI always push insert key
19:35.35pgasyou can try "a" and "o" also
19:35.39r2d3I guess this is yet another way your parents have failed you.
19:35.44Phroziacso at the risk of sounding like ive never used vi before, what would i push to get back out of insert mode?
19:35.51r2d3<esc>
19:35.57Phroziacr2d3: what, letting me have an insert key?
19:36.36pgascancel button on the 760
19:37.32Phroziacsweet...a real text editor on my pda
19:38.43Phroziacvim was the first nix text editor ive used (well after nano/pico), and i just like it. never tried anything else.
19:39.50r2d3i actually used 'ed' first
19:40.12r2d3it was... not very nice. vi was a significant improvement
19:40.17Phroziaclol
19:40.26Phroziacwhat was the first good text editor?
19:40.43waynein the MSDOS world, i have just remembered EDLIN
19:40.47wayneand immediately collapsed
19:40.57Phroziaclol
19:42.05Phroziacbah
19:42.16Phroziacthe arrow keys dont work in vim, they just make letters on the sceen
19:42.37r2d3eh. who uses arrow keys anyway?
19:42.49r2d3hjkl is all the navigation you need
19:42.55Phroziachmm
19:43.08wayneit'S asdw for doom, hjkl for vim
19:43.15wayneyou kill, or type
19:43.22Phroziacthanks
19:43.26Phroziacive never played doom on a computer
19:43.31Phroziaci have the genesis 32x version
19:43.56wayneI feel the need to play doom on my zaurus, just so i can say i've done it
19:44.09waynehmm. if i'm not being too indescrete, how old are you?
19:44.20Phroziaci am 18.
19:44.28Phroziacwhats that have to do with it?
19:44.56Phroziacah nice, arrows work out of edit mode
19:44.59wayneDoom is old
19:45.05waynei'm old
19:45.06wayneI played doom
19:45.07Phroziachow old is it?
19:45.57wayne12 years old
19:46.04wayneso you were 6
19:46.32Phroziaclol
19:46.36Phroziaci did not get it when it was new
19:46.49wayneheehhe i would certainly hope not!
19:46.51Phroziacwhen i got it 32x was discontinued
19:46.52wayneit was horrible :)
19:46.56Phroziacand was on clearance everywhere
19:47.12r2d3hrm.
19:47.19Phroziaci think it was 1997...would make me 10
19:47.20r2d3the first time I played doom, was on a 286.
19:47.58waynebut there was something before doom: Wolfenstein 3D
19:48.01waynea year before
19:48.04Phroziacby the way why doesn't uptime seem to work properly? its like the processor does not actually run when the zaurus is "off"
19:48.06r2d3actually, a pre-alpha renderer tech demo... the final Doom product needed a 386
19:48.09waynewhich was even worse because you shot people
19:48.23koyotewolfenstein!
19:48.26koyoteman, that was great
19:48.29wayneyeah
19:48.35waynewith the nazis and all
19:48.37r2d3the original Castle Wolfenstein was better
19:48.41koyotewe used to play it on the old zenith dos lggables
19:48.50r2d3because while you sometimes shot people, most of the time you just ran away from them
19:49.01wayneyeah well it weas almost entirely different game
19:49.05waynebeing 2D and ugly
19:49.06koyotebecause all we had was luggables and the ibmn mainframe
19:49.18waynethe 3D version got the "realism" thing that shocked everyone
19:49.21waynehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wolf3dtitle.jpg
19:49.25koyoteexcept there was this hp luggable, but it wouldn't run the wolfenstein
19:49.27r2d3wolf3d was ugly
19:49.43waynecompared to today's standard
19:49.52r2d3no, it was ugly on general principles.
19:49.55waynebut 1992's standards for 3d shooters? This was "it" :) (and not ginger)
19:49.59r2d3the original Wolfenstein was a beautiful game
19:50.08r2d3no, Wolf3d was ugly in 1992.
19:50.38Phroziacis anyone here actually good at typing on the zaurus keypad?
19:50.59r2d3yes.
19:51.04waynePhroziac: i am
19:51.11r2d3all of us are good at typing on the zaurus- it has an excellent keyboard.
19:51.12Phroziachow do you do it?
19:51.28Phroziacits so tiny, i have to use my fingernails or i push 6 keys at once
19:51.31r2d3phroziac: for starters, we have a better zaurus than you :)
19:51.51Phroziacnew zauruses are bigger?
19:51.57Phroziacyou probably have smaller thumbs then i also
19:52.28koyoteit's easy to get used to
19:52.32koyotethe 6k is, anyway
19:52.35Phroziaci have a 5500 by the way
19:52.40r2d3wayne: the spirit of the game was ugly. the graphics were garish and overdone. the strategy of the game was mindless and dull.
19:52.42Phroziacwhats a 6k keyboard look like?
19:52.47r2d3wayne: hence, wolf3d was ugly.
19:52.49koyotetiny
19:53.18Phroziacso what, does a full size 105 key keyboard complete with penquin keys fold out of the 6k? ;p
19:53.52r2d3Castle Wolfenstein, in contrast, was sparing.  The theme was more reminiscent of modern snipnog and theieving games
19:54.41r2d3bullets were rare, and you only used them when all other options were exhausted, and some enemies couldn't be shot at all.
19:55.09Phroziacdon't ya hate it when you're either in vim and start typing into command mode, or when you're in nano/pico and typ.e :wq! into a document?

20:06.00wayner2d3: yes there was no strategy and it was pointless killing, whcich was the point, it'S kinda like saying "classical music lacks guitars"
20:07.56waynei know that wold3f is a horrible game
20:08.02waynejust like horrible movies and such
20:08.16waynebut it did play an important role in the history of gaming, society wise

20:30.23pgasthe 512 or 1G might be used easily
20:30.31Phroziacpgas: well my birthday is coming up, gonna ask my folks for it. so its more like how much they waste first.
20:30.32luke-jr_zip|6kL: MMC == SD, but slower and open
20:30.51zip|6kLthen who needs it tho open is nice
20:31.05luke-jr_zip|6kL: Zaurii only supported MMC until recently
20:31.16zip|6kLmy 5600 had sd
20:31.18ljpi think it was samsung that announced a 4 gb NAND chip
20:31.19luke-jr_because there were no SD specs to write drivers with
20:31.22Phroziacmy 5500 has sd
20:31.22luke-jr_zip|6kL: nope
20:31.29pgasPhroziac: you might want debian on your sd for instance: http://www.pocketworkstation.org/
20:31.41luke-jr_zip|6kL: try a SD-only card in it ;)
20:31.46Phroziacpgas: whats wrong with stock?
20:31.59luke-jr_Phroziac: a lot
20:32.03ljpdebian is overrated

21:49.07luke-jr_Sharp's OS doesn't have Ctrl or Alt, IIRC
21:49.31waynectrl works through the FN + shift combo
21:50.09wayneexcept ctrl-x c and v, where Fn + x does it (sometimes)
