**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 12 02:59:56 2007 Jun 12 07:15:25 * Furre gives the latest release a try ^^ Jun 12 07:27:39 morning hrw Jun 12 07:29:51 hej Jun 12 07:32:21 morning ^^ Jun 12 07:32:42 <_law_> morning all Jun 12 07:34:37 x.x, got Z connected to the AP now, but doesnt appear to get an IP, anyone have an idea? :/ Jun 12 07:34:39 good morning Jun 12 07:37:17 when trying to ping I get "Network is unreachable" even when the AP reports the Z is connected :/ Jun 12 07:42:39 routing bad Jun 12 07:45:06 worked with the previous release of Ångström *ponders what the trouble is* Jun 12 15:27:10 polyonymous: ping Jun 12 16:16:36 hi Jun 12 16:24:31 CoreDump: hello :) Jun 12 16:24:48 CoreDump: any feedback on 1.0.9pre ? Jun 12 16:25:54 no, sorry :\ Jun 12 16:26:17 CoreDump: np. Jun 12 16:31:57 CoreDump: Since there is no option 8, how do I create an altboot image now? With IMAGE_FSTYPES = "jffs2 tar ext2 instead of " IMAGE_FSTYPES = "jffs2 tar"? Jun 12 16:32:20 Laibsch: that would work of course Jun 12 16:33:26 Well, I guess that is also the most convenient route, then. Jun 12 16:33:32 Or do you suggest something else? Jun 12 16:33:57 if dd if=/dev/zero of=/my_loopfile bs=1024k count=200 ; losetup /dev/loop0 ./my_loopfile ; mkfs.ext2 -m0 /dev/loop0 ; losetup -d /dev/null ; mount -o loop ./my_loopfile /media/loop ; cp $whatever /media/loop Jun 12 16:34:35 /dev/null == /dev/loop0 Jun 12 16:36:22 I'd rather let OE do the tedious work ;-) Jun 12 16:37:04 On the other hand. How do I specify loopfile size? Jun 12 16:37:34 An image with 0 space left is not the real killer Jun 12 16:38:26 IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext2 = "204800" Jun 12 16:39:06 OK, nice Jun 12 16:42:11 Does the latest altboot include the option to boot from NFS? Over WLAN? Jun 12 16:44:32 Laibsch: tar.gz instead of tar Jun 12 16:44:32 Laibsch: yes Jun 12 16:45:01 ideed, why one would want tar instead of tar.gz is beyond me Jun 12 16:53:24 corrected Jun 12 17:18:37 jeez, opie-image uses many many GBs Jun 12 17:18:42 building it Jun 12 17:25:01 I can connect to my AP and receive an IP fine when there is no encryption. Jun 12 17:25:53 Then when I "upgrade" to WEP with a common password both on the AP (Linksys WRT54GL running openwrt) and the spitz, I cannot receive an IP anymore Jun 12 17:26:04 How do I get out of insecure land? Jun 12 17:26:27 are you setting the WEP key before looking for an IP? Jun 12 17:26:53 I set the WEP key on the AP, then on the spitz, apply the changes Jun 12 17:27:01 and then I have lost connection. Jun 12 17:27:13 because I know when I tried to connect to my uncle's WEP wifi network, I had to set the WEP key on the Z, then do 'ifup eth0' Jun 12 17:28:22 ifup wlan0 is even worse Jun 12 17:28:40 That even fucks up a working nonsecure connection. Jun 12 17:28:46 udhcpc does not get an IP Jun 12 17:29:02 really? hrm... so how do you connect? Jun 12 17:29:12 The network GUI thingy does get an IP. Whatever program it uses Jun 12 17:29:17 summatusmentis: insecurely Jun 12 17:29:22 As I said ;-) Jun 12 17:29:33 But I don't really connect Jun 12 17:29:46 Until I can secure the communication Jun 12 17:30:01 huh... that's odd, what's your card? Jun 12 17:31:09 zonet zcf1100 Jun 12 17:31:31 quite a few zaurus people have it, I think Jun 12 17:32:27 yeah, I think so... hrm.. Jun 12 17:32:55 I'm pretty unfamiliar w/ WEP, as I live in the middle of nowhere, and run an unsecured WAP Jun 12 17:33:02 but the little experience I had w/ it, it worked fine Jun 12 17:39:10 please god of angstrom , tell me the quick n dirty loose or no loose in compiling oabi vs eabi Jun 12 17:40:07 what does 'loose or no loose' mean? Jun 12 17:40:24 I think he meant loss Jun 12 17:41:02 hrm... Jun 12 17:41:19 I guess I stilll don't understand, but basically oabi vs. eabi? Jun 12 17:41:46 oabi == old crazy shit, eabi == the future Jun 12 17:45:46 lol, at least koen knows what he's talking about, i was gonna make something up :-P Jun 12 17:49:34 eabi is http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort Jun 12 17:49:38 ~eabi Jun 12 17:50:00 crap no stupid bot Jun 12 18:07:48 Laibsch: FWIW, WEP, WPA1 and WPA2 work fine here on my Z using manual configuration via /e/n/interfaces Jun 12 18:10:03 CoreDump: Can you paste it. It would certainly save me some time. Jun 12 18:10:04 XXX is your friend at the appropriate places ;-) Jun 12 18:10:38 Laibsch: depending on how recent your rootfs if, "interfaces" already contains (IMO) useful examples Jun 12 18:10:39 * summatusmentis waits for CoreDump's IP to show Jun 12 18:11:35 you can configure it on a debian laptop and copy over /etc/network/interfaces as well Jun 12 18:12:00 * koen has a copy of that in the home partition of every device Jun 12 18:12:05 Laibsch: http://rafb.net/p/5sLys842.html Jun 12 18:12:46 koen: the old way of debian running wpa_supplicant via initscript sucked big times tho Jun 12 18:13:13 wpa_supplicant sucked big time for a long time as well Jun 12 18:13:39 indeed Jun 12 18:13:57 today WPA is a simple as WEP (finally) Jun 12 18:17:38 CoreDump: wpa-essid is the same as the "normal essid", right? or is it in any way ciphered? Jun 12 18:17:51 Laibsch: it is the same Jun 12 18:18:53 do you need wpasupplicant installed? Jun 12 18:19:03 or is it just more convenient that way Jun 12 18:19:05 of course Jun 12 18:19:21 the supplicant is required Jun 12 18:21:14 (for WPA of course) Jun 12 18:22:09 * CoreDump would like to get rid of the kernel 2.4 crap from interfaces Jun 12 18:22:36 * koen wants cascaded override support in FILESPATH Jun 12 18:23:05 packages/foo/foo-1.2/angstrom/c7x0/file Jun 12 18:23:18 adding a bazillion machine overrides would suck Jun 12 18:24:19 for packages like base-files it's just moving everything to another subdir Jun 12 18:24:38 but I support mickeyl with "virtually every distro override is bogus" Jun 12 18:25:00 indeed Jun 12 18:25:53 maybe a dynamically created ifconfig based on MACHINE.conf would be the solution (ie: include the usb0 stuff only form achines w/ USB) Jun 12 18:28:27 yes Jun 12 18:29:33 The spitz seems to be trying to connect. But dmesg shows a bunch of errors "unknown crypto alg 'CCMP'" Jun 12 18:29:44 Any package missing? Misconfig? Jun 12 18:30:11 Needless to say I have no connection to the AP Jun 12 18:30:17 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=kernel-module-ieee80211-crypt-ccmp Jun 12 18:30:28 we only have kernel modules for wep in by default Jun 12 18:30:56 OK Jun 12 18:31:48 patches welcome :) Jun 12 18:52:27 Does kernel-module-hostap contain hostap_crypt_wep.o? Jun 12 18:52:40 iirc not Jun 12 18:53:55 so where is it? Jun 12 18:54:04 It seems to be needed for wep Jun 12 18:54:27 I cannot seem to get WPA working Jun 12 18:56:10 Laibsch: you have the tkip/ccmp modules loaded? Jun 12 18:56:26 yes Jun 12 18:59:04 Zero_Chaos: Wait, I might have not Jun 12 18:59:12 I installed the package and reboot Jun 12 18:59:37 But insmod ieee80211_crypt_ccmp fails Jun 12 19:00:01 that's why you use modprobe Jun 12 19:00:09 Oh boy, we REALLY need to make WLAN more user-friendly on Angstrom Jun 12 19:00:20 CoreDump: Tried that too, same story Jun 12 19:00:50 obviously you are missing a dependency for that module Jun 12 19:01:21 It says "ieee80211_crypt_ccmp module not found" Jun 12 19:01:33 Sounds more like the module itself is missing Jun 12 19:01:40 Maybe a depmod helps Jun 12 19:01:52 it does Jun 12 19:02:22 !note to self: OE should call depmod when installing module packages Jun 12 19:02:36 LoL Jun 12 19:06:23 how can I make a reciepe that excutes depmod after install? Jun 12 19:07:06 put depmod in postinst Jun 12 19:08:04 as in do post_inst() { depmod } Jun 12 19:08:05 ? Jun 12 19:09:30 pkg_postinst() { blah } Jun 12 19:09:47 Couldn't we have this globally for all modules? Jun 12 19:10:00 Does OE a package contains modules? Jun 12 19:10:07 Does OE know a package contains modules? Jun 12 19:10:29 Now I get "could not allocate crypto aes" Jun 12 19:10:39 and the same with arc4 instead of aes Jun 12 19:10:47 Laibsch: install the crypto-aes module ;-) Jun 12 19:18:24 summatusmentis, pong Jun 12 19:37:22 I think I finally got that bitch to cooperate Jun 12 19:38:10 which bitch? :) Jun 12 19:40:54 the spitz-wrt-wpa bitch ;-) Jun 12 19:41:07 secure wifi for me now Jun 12 19:41:29 Laibsch: welcome to the spitz-wrt-wpa club =) Jun 12 19:41:30 ah. I see. my spitz wifi era is over as well as my wifi card :) Jun 12 19:41:40 polyonymous: ouch Jun 12 19:41:51 what does WRT have to do with it? Jun 12 19:41:52 CoreDump|home, happens :) Jun 12 19:42:09 * polyonymous is a club member in exile :) Jun 12 19:42:10 Zero_Chaos: it runs on our WAP Jun 12 19:42:37 dd-wrt for me Jun 12 19:43:03 are there any CF-Wifi card with the ability to connect an external antenna on them? Jun 12 19:43:18 besides, he might have meant spits with-regards-to wpa ;-)) He's talking abbreviations, remember?:) Jun 12 19:43:30 ahh yes Jun 12 19:44:04 * CoreDump|home never heard of one but that does not have to mean anything Jun 12 19:44:28 Furre: I saw one yesterday, but it was broadcom Jun 12 19:44:31 Furre: still care? Jun 12 19:47:48 polyonymous: well, I meant the Linksys ;-) Jun 12 19:47:59 polyonymous: broke your wifi card? Jun 12 19:48:48 Laibsch, yup, physically. Jun 12 19:51:45 How do you connect, then? Jun 12 19:54:37 Laibsch: USB networking works very well Jun 12 19:54:49 since recently even out-of-the-box Jun 12 19:56:01 Zero_Chaos, is broadcom bad? Jun 12 19:56:27 well, yes Jun 12 19:56:58 Laibsch, CoreDump|afk is right. Jun 12 19:57:03 how come? o.o Jun 12 19:57:28 CoreDump|afk, out-of-the box it may work, but suspend is still lethal for me :) Jun 12 19:58:51 Zero_Chaos, not compatible with the Z? o.o Jun 12 19:59:12 Furre: unsure. I was thinking about buying one to test. Jun 12 19:59:20 Furre: I'm guessing if the drivers are there, it should work Jun 12 19:59:31 Furre: but broadcom in general kinda sucks Jun 12 19:59:41 oh ._. Jun 12 20:00:16 well, was poindering if one could use one of those large can-tennas, cause wifi is almost non-existing where i live :cx Jun 12 20:00:29 Does IRC support ad-hoc multi-user chats? Jun 12 20:02:38 Laibsch, no, that would be called 'channel' :) Jun 12 20:13:28 by the way, will USB-wifi work on the Z? Jun 12 20:27:59 Furre: if the dongle has a driver, then yes, but you might need a powered hub Jun 12 20:50:35 aah, do you know if Zydas ZD1211b is supported? it appears to be a very used chipset, and I know the thing with the hub ^^ Jun 12 20:51:05 Furre: if it is, I'm sure it's not to great, .21 is when the driver matured Jun 12 20:51:12 Furre: and angstrom is on .20 Jun 12 20:51:17 kernel version that is Jun 12 20:52:34 ooh :x, pity, cuase I found a USB card that had that chipset, and wasnt too expencive, cant find that broadcom anywhere for sale to sweden @.@ Jun 12 20:53:55 Furre: you wanted usb or cf? Jun 12 20:54:15 Furre: usb I know the alfa is rather nice, 500mW -96db rx sens and rp-sma connector Jun 12 20:54:24 doesnt matter :) Jun 12 20:54:36 Furre: in USA? Jun 12 20:54:38 just aslong as its compatible in both ångström and pdaxrom Jun 12 20:54:42 Zero_Chaos, sweden unfortunately x.x Jun 12 20:54:51 but if they accept paypal and can ship to sweden thats finet oo Jun 12 20:55:12 I've not finished drivers for the alpha yet Jun 12 20:55:18 so I don't know ;-) Jun 12 20:55:34 oh, you mean you have one with an antenna? Jun 12 20:55:51 yeah, the alpha is usb Jun 12 20:56:13 is alfa a manufactuer? Jun 12 20:59:43 yes Jun 12 20:59:48 realtek 8187 chipset Jun 12 21:00:59 do you have an URL? Jun 12 21:03:04 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290077228200 Jun 12 21:05:47 eep, a bit expencive ^^ Jun 12 21:05:51 did you got it working? Jun 12 21:08:33 like I said, I've not ported the drivers to OE yet Jun 12 21:11:10 ah, is it difficult to do? I kinda need all drivers to work on Ångström and pdaXrom since I switch back and forth all the time Jun 12 21:12:19 at the moment I don't think the driver work with either. what are you doing that needs external antenna on your Z? Jun 12 21:13:19 to use the Z when not at home, the AMbicom one I have no doesnt appear to ahve a good range :/, drops the connection all thje time Jun 12 21:14:58 Furre: you realize that it will be significantly less convenient to be using a huge freaking radio like the alfa? to start with you need a battery pack just to power it Jun 12 21:19:09 Zero_Chaos, what kind of battery pack do you use for your usb devices? Jun 12 21:19:38 just a few battery packs that provide power over usb Jun 12 21:20:33 Zero_Chaos, did you make them yourself or buy them? Jun 12 21:20:42 Zero_Chaos, I know, but its better than not beeing able to use Wifi ^^ Jun 12 21:20:59 dcordes: purchased. Jun 12 21:21:03 Furre, what's your device? Jun 12 21:21:29 you mean the wificard? Jun 12 21:21:36 Furre, no your machine Jun 12 21:21:40 ah, C1000 Jun 12 21:23:11 Zero_Chaos, I've been looking for souch a product. My self made thing with a 9v block and regulator to 5v is dorky. Jun 12 21:23:20 Furre, I also use the akita Jun 12 21:23:30 Zero_Chaos, where did you get it? Jun 12 21:23:39 or them Jun 12 21:23:53 dcordes: mine provides much more power as well. One at Circuit City and one and Fry's, the one from Fry's is a little bit better Jun 12 21:25:03 Zero_Chaos, does that fry have an online shop? Jun 12 21:25:15 dunno Jun 12 21:26:13 Lenmar PPU1700B Jun 12 21:26:17 www.lenmar.com Jun 12 21:26:26 that's all it says on the device Jun 12 21:26:28 and the power read outs Jun 12 21:27:15 MACALLY USB BATTERY PACK that's what I found on frys.com Jun 12 21:27:47 I didn't see that one at the store Jun 12 21:29:19 2200mah nice Jun 12 21:29:41 but I guess it will be hard to find a reseller that ships to europe Jun 12 21:30:06 if I lived anywhere near a fry's I would help Jun 12 21:30:10 but I don't Jun 12 21:30:56 oh I was talking about the lenmar thing with 2200mah Jun 12 21:31:03 but thanks for the offer Jun 12 21:31:30 as was I, I bought my lenmar at fry's Jun 12 21:32:28 ah ok Jun 12 21:33:15 how big is it approx.? Jun 12 21:33:53 ipod? smaller than the SL-C1000 Jun 12 21:34:16 thickness of a collie, less height and a bit less width Jun 12 21:35:26 ok Jun 12 21:35:27 looks like they ship international Jun 12 21:36:26 in case I won't find a similar device in a place not that far away I will buy it there. Jun 12 21:36:38 what did you mean about power being read out? Jun 12 21:36:39 but hmm, are there any USB-wifi cards working on the Z at the moment? o.o Jun 12 21:36:52 I meant the power specs Jun 12 21:37:25 Furre, I use a ralink rt73 based device Jun 12 21:37:47 Zero_Chaos, like it tells the host device power is present? Jun 12 21:38:08 I meant it provides 5v and holds 2200mAh Jun 12 21:38:54 Furre, there are many many others Jun 12 21:39:34 Furre, I think you can almost make every device work with driver sources present somewhere Jun 12 21:39:52 that's what I experienced with the rt73 device Jun 12 21:40:42 well, im kinda new on linux so I doubt Ill be able to manage it myself :/ Jun 12 21:43:15 Furre, I didn't do it myself at all but with the help of the firendly and helpfully developers Jun 12 21:45:37 Furre, you can buy a device which has already modules present Jun 12 21:45:58 well, kinda need one that can use an external antenna, but all I find is either zd1211 or realtek :x Jun 12 21:46:20 I've got what your looking for then Jun 12 21:46:28 wait a second Jun 12 21:48:01 edimax ew-7318usg Jun 12 21:49:10 http://www.edimax.com.tw/html/english/products/EW-7318USg.htm it has rp-sma connector. To install the driver install the package rt73-k2wrlz Jun 12 21:49:36 dcordes: you added that package? Jun 12 21:49:40 dcordes: thanks Jun 12 21:50:55 Zero_Chaos, actually it was XorA|holiday who made it possible Jun 12 21:51:06 dcordes, ah, do you know if that driver exist for pdaXrom aswell? Jun 12 21:51:17 Furre, did not try pdaXrom Jun 12 21:51:58 dcordes: he has always been a big help to me, I took over a lot of his older reciepes and updated them Jun 12 21:52:20 ah okk, kinda want it to work on both :/, cant use Ångström with some thing I need to work, and some things wont work in pdaxrom either so I have to switch back and forth all the time Jun 12 21:52:56 Furre: you have the build system for pdaXrom? get moving Jun 12 21:53:24 what do you mean? Jun 12 21:53:39 you should compile a driver Jun 12 21:54:27 ah, well I think i had all the things needed to compile programs atleast, but it gave lots of complains about packages needed that didnt exist :/ Jun 12 21:54:34 but is the driver's source avaible? Jun 12 21:54:41 Zero_Chaos, do you have a prism card available? If so it would be very kind if you could check out hostap functionallity Jun 12 21:55:02 dcordes: I sorta killed my prism card Jun 12 21:55:17 Furre, http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ Jun 12 21:56:10 dcordes: what folder is your rt73 driver in? packages/?/rt73-k2wrlz.bb Jun 12 21:57:01 Zero_Chaos, unfortunately I'm not on my build machine right now Jun 12 21:57:24 but packages/ralink/ I guess Jun 12 21:58:19 dcordes: I don't see it in the repo at all Jun 12 21:58:46 Zero_Chaos, oh Jun 12 21:59:04 I thought XorA|holiday commited it Jun 12 21:59:26 got the ipk here if you like Jun 12 22:00:39 Zero_Chaos, I'm almost sure I saw it in the repo.. Jun 12 22:01:29 dcordes: I'll have to look for it later and bug you if I can't find it Jun 12 22:01:32 anyway, I'm out Jun 12 22:01:33 later all Jun 12 22:01:48 Zero_Chaos, Jun 12 22:01:49 wait Jun 12 22:02:02 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=rt73-k2wrlz Jun 12 22:02:18 Zero_Chaos, later Jun 12 23:14:51 oh, polyonymous I was just gonna whine about the disk space that building opie-image uses Jun 12 23:15:33 summatusmentis, hell, yes, it does pull in half of x11 :) Jun 12 23:15:40 x11 image that is :) Jun 12 23:15:51 really? so x11 apps run on opie? Jun 12 23:16:05 no, it pulls it in just for build. Jun 12 23:16:16 although yes, you can build xqt2 Jun 12 23:16:22 and that would let you run x apps Jun 12 23:16:53 that was why I was gonna play w/ opie Jun 12 23:17:12 and x11 can run qt4 applications :) Jun 12 23:17:43 that's gonna be nice Jun 12 23:19:14 the only useful one is tree is uqtreader, tho :) Jun 12 23:19:22 s/is/in the/ Jun 13 02:45:40 does a tutorial exist that shows how to boot angstrom from say, an sd card without modifying the internal flash? I'm specifically interested in doing this on an iPAQ h4355 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jun 13 02:59:57 2007
