Oct 14 05:32:35 <Russ__> well done gnome3, the right monitor is locked, the left is not
Oct 14 05:33:53 <mru> at least you have one
Oct 14 05:51:51 <mranostay> mru: is that half secure? :)
Oct 14 12:07:40 <tibo7> Hi !
Oct 14 12:07:52 <tibo7> I would like speak to someone please
Oct 14 12:11:24 <dm8tbr> and I would like a steak sandwich
Oct 14 12:51:03 <bobsickle> mmmm....steak
Oct 14 16:32:17 <jago25> I can ping beagleboard.local, but it's not turned on....? I've only just recieved my board... a bit confused as how that can happen
Oct 14 16:32:53 <woglinde> jago25 read about dns a bit more
Oct 14 16:36:47 <jago25> hmm, no useful search results for dns+"beagleboard.local"...
Oct 14 16:37:16 <mru> time warp!
Oct 14 16:37:35 <woglinde> I did say read about dns
Oct 14 16:37:44 <woglinde> not google something
Oct 14 16:38:03 <woglinde> or better read about ip to name conversion on linux
Oct 14 16:38:25 <mru> and then say a curse for drepper
Oct 14 16:38:39 <jago25> darn shame the ethernet mac isn't writton on the socket
Oct 14 16:38:48 <mru> because it's not fixed
Oct 14 16:39:00 <woglinde> mru thats your next discussion
Oct 14 16:39:27 <mranostay> morning gentlemen and trolls
Oct 14 16:39:54 <woglinde> hi mranostay
Oct 14 16:40:21 <jago25> I know the basics of dns, dhcp, cache flushing. I know my router has a dhcp server. What I don't understand is not just my dhcp server has a IP assigned to beagleboard.local but why it pings
Oct 14 16:40:31 <jago25> I guess it's pinging a internet address
Oct 14 16:40:43 <mru> what address does it resolve to?
Oct 14 16:40:48 <jago25> 67.215.65.132
Oct 14 16:41:14 <mru> ~curse opendsn
Oct 14 16:41:17 <mru> dns
Oct 14 16:41:19 <jago25> .local is not a valid TLD
Oct 14 16:41:22 <jago25> ah
Oct 14 16:41:24 <mru> 132.65.215.67.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer hit-nxdomain.opendns.com.
Oct 14 16:41:28 <jago25> now we're getting somewhere
Oct 14 16:41:31 <jago25> thanks
Oct 14 16:41:33 <jago25> hmm
Oct 14 16:41:53 <mru> evil dns servers self-advertising instead of NXDOMAIN
Oct 14 16:42:37 <jago25> yeah, that is irritating. I should have been able to spot the none local IP but nevermind
Oct 14 16:42:54 <mru> don't use opendns
Oct 14 16:44:19 <jago25> yeah think so, got a recommendation for me?
Oct 14 16:44:42 <mru> run your own locally and query root servers directly
Oct 14 16:44:45 <mru> or use google's
Oct 14 16:45:19 <jago25> thanks,
Oct 14 16:46:52 <jago25> windows drivers are a pain too... guess I'll reset into linux for less hassle
Oct 14 16:49:19 <jago25> ...and all except on of the angstrom mirrors are down...
Oct 14 16:49:56 <mru> you're in luck
Oct 14 16:50:00 <mru> could've been all of them
Oct 14 16:50:02 <jago25> :D
Oct 14 16:51:15 <jago25> I went for the beaglebone over the raspberry pi on the basis that for using as a server I don't need the graphics output and the headers could come in handy but now I'm thinking I should have gone for the quicker route as I've only got an hour to set it up :p
Oct 14 16:52:15 <mru> the bone is _far_ more capable than the rpi
Oct 14 16:52:23 <mru> hd video decoding excepted
Oct 14 16:57:00 <jago25> that's good. I think the windows .inf might have a problem... remember something about editing it somewhere...
Oct 14 16:59:59 <jago25> not recognising ftdibus.inf as a driver at all...
Oct 14 17:01:14 <jago25> bah, give up, reboot into linux
Oct 14 17:37:40 <jeshwanth> hi anybody used yocto for beaglebone ?
Oct 14 17:44:32 <koen> jeshwanth: the sd card that comes with it is already using yocto
Oct 14 17:45:49 <Crofton> koen, Angstrom built using tools from the Yocto Project :)
Oct 14 17:46:15 <jeshwanth> @koen: Actually I want to build complete linux for my beaglebone where can I find the BSP for it ?
Oct 14 17:46:54 <koen> jeshwanth: that is covering in the SRM under 'software support'
Oct 14 17:46:56 <Crofton> jeshwanth, Angstrom is already pretty complete, i doubt you can do better yourself
Oct 14 17:47:04 <Crofton> do you have a specific need?
Oct 14 17:48:35 <jeshwanth> not now but in future I need to customise it according to my application. Actually I found this http://www.yoctoproject.org/download/bsp/texas-instruments-arm-cortex-a8-development-board-beagleboard-0 but I feel this is for beagleboard
Oct 14 17:48:48 <jeshwanth> Is ti released for beagelbone also ?
Oct 14 17:49:10 <koen> TI doesn't support the beaglebone
Oct 14 17:49:15 <koen> beagleboard.org does
Oct 14 17:49:24 <koen> jeshwanth: just follow the instructions at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom
Oct 14 17:52:36 <jeshwanth> yeah thanks @koen, may be in future if they released BSP for beaglebone its very good :)
Oct 14 18:22:26 <woglinde_> woot 4 minutes free falling
Oct 14 18:25:07 <mru> of course the live stream crapped out totally during the interesting part
Oct 14 18:47:43 <woglinde_> mru huh?
Oct 14 18:47:52 <woglinde_> what do you mean
Oct 14 18:47:55 <woglinde_> I saw all
Oct 14 18:48:03 <mru> I mean the youtube feed dropped out
Oct 14 18:48:15 <woglinde_> not here
Oct 14 18:48:19 <mru> good for you
Oct 14 18:48:22 <woglinde_> or which stage did you mean?
Oct 14 18:48:47 <mru> it was really bad from a few minutes before jump and during most of the fall
Oct 14 18:48:53 <woglinde_> uhm
Oct 14 18:48:57 <woglinde_> than I am was lucky
Oct 14 18:49:03 <W1N9Zr0> mine crapped out just when he landed, and it looks like half of youtube is giving 500 errors now
Oct 14 18:49:06 <woglinde_> but I choosed 240
Oct 14 18:49:26 <woglinde_> no problems here
Oct 14 21:13:50 <Odi> Hi guys. I am trying to set up NetBeans on Ubuntu to compile for beagleboard C4 (remote host). I managed to get a simple hello world program to work on the beagleboard. I used Samba to map the entire filesystem as described here. The problem i am now having is with OpenCV. I get multiple errors such as "undefined reference to cv::imread" . The errors are similar for any opencv function
Oct 14 21:14:29 <Odi> i mean as described here http://mechomaniac.com/BeagleboardDevelopmentWithNetbeans
Oct 14 21:25:50 <mranostay> you are sure you linking correctly?
Oct 14 21:25:57 <mranostay> or have the correct includes?
Oct 14 21:28:10 <Odi> well the only includes I used are /usr/include for C and C++ compiler...
Oct 14 21:28:50 <Odi> in NetBeans i dont know how to use the Linker and have not added any libraries in that section
Oct 14 21:35:57 <woglinde_> odi who did you tell developing c/c++ with netbeans is a good idea
Oct 14 21:36:09 <woglinde_> even furthermore crosscompiling with it
Oct 14 21:36:34 <woglinde_> and it is a lot easier to develop stuff with python-opencv bindings
Oct 14 21:36:43 <woglinde_> no compiling needed at all
Oct 14 21:38:43 <JViz> i use netbeans and it works fine
Oct 14 21:39:50 <JViz> cross compiling for AVR
Oct 14 21:41:14 <woglinde_> sure if you understood makefiles and crosscompiling at all it might be okay
Oct 14 21:45:57 <Odi> it is a fail idea to go this route then?
Oct 14 21:46:38 <Odi> netbeans and opencv? did i screw myself wasting time on this?
Oct 14 21:47:22 <Odi> :(
Oct 14 21:54:13 <woglinde_> odi did you ever program with opencv before?
Oct 14 21:54:40 <woglinde_> have to go now
Oct 14 21:54:43 <woglinde_> good nite
Oct 14 22:39:29 <JViz> anybody use spi on the bone?
Oct 14 22:39:46 <JViz> the latest kernel is supposed to have spi support, right?
Oct 14 23:20:02 <mdp> Jviz, lots of people..the kernel has always had spi support
Oct 14 23:20:26 <JViz> er
Oct 14 23:20:27 <JViz> sorry
Oct 14 23:20:29 <JViz> spidev
Oct 14 23:20:36 <JViz> i meant spidev
Oct 14 23:21:57 <mdp> long time, yes. spidev is a generic driver available to anything running linux
Oct 14 23:22:13 <JViz> except it was broken for a long time
Oct 14 23:22:23 <JViz> with the beaglebone angstrom kernel
Oct 14 23:22:44 <JViz> it needed to be patched
Oct 14 23:24:18 <JViz> eventually a patch for it made it into angstrom
Oct 14 23:25:36 <JViz> i was just wondering if anyone noticed a new bug or if there was a regression
Oct 14 23:26:10 <JViz> i installed the spidev module, but it's not showing up in /dev
Oct 14 23:26:10 <mdp> ahh, the pinmux support in angstrom..gotcha
Oct 14 23:53:14 <JViz> anybody else have problems with the LCD7?
Oct 14 23:53:47 <JViz> i can't get the touchscreen calibration to work with Qt
Oct 14 23:54:13 <JViz> normally it works, but it jumps all over the places
Oct 14 23:54:44 <JViz> if i do QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/event0, i get nothing
Oct 14 23:54:52 <JViz> nor with /dev/input/mouse0
Oct 14 23:55:04 <JViz> both are the correct device in different formats
Oct 14 23:56:22 <JViz> i'm using the default install of qt4-embedded
Oct 15 02:05:06 <ds2> wonder why folks are using the DHT22
Oct 15 02:16:47 <alan_o> hey, I almost bought one of those.....
Oct 15 02:17:12 <alan_o> then realized, I have simlilar stuff that didn't cost as much money.
Oct 15 02:17:36 <alan_o> yeah, and the interface sucks
Oct 15 02:18:46 <alan_o> I guess if you had no analog, and were doing hobbyist type stuff where a few extra bucks didn't matter......
Oct 15 02:30:41 <ds2> alan_o: the SHT's are much easier to deal with
