Dec 30 03:14:01 <musufu> Located. Works perfectly fine with normal ip connections, done a harsh test, was ok for everything
Dec 30 03:14:32 <musufu> when I start a Multipath-tcp connection, it's also fine, but it crashes after closing the connection successfully.
Dec 30 03:14:55 <musufu> looks like a simple bug (which is probably hard to find/fix)
Dec 30 03:43:27 <jpipe> I can´t install ALSA in my beagleboard xM, someone can help me?
Dec 30 03:46:14 <rcn-ee> jpipe, what os?
Dec 30 03:47:34 <jpipe> angstrom
Dec 30 03:48:50 <rcn-ee> sorry... opkg install xyz
Dec 30 03:50:19 <jpipe> what do you mean with xyz?
Dec 30 03:51:00 <rcn-ee> i don't speak angstrom.. so what ever package provides "alsa" = xyz
Dec 30 03:51:42 <jpipe> I try ubuntu before, and either
Dec 30 03:52:09 <jpipe> do you know how do it in ubuntu?
Dec 30 03:52:29 <rcn-ee> sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
Dec 30 03:53:15 <jpipe> that doesn't work
Dec 30 03:53:53 <rcn-ee> define "work" it installs alsa..
Dec 30 03:55:16 <jpipe> not, don't install alsa
Dec 30 03:55:42 <jpipe> that show me an error with a file
Dec 30 03:55:57 <jpipe> but I don't know
Dec 30 03:56:20 <jpipe> It tell that the file is be used
Dec 30 03:56:49 <rcn-ee> alsa-utils does install alsa: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/amd64/alsa-utils/filelist
Dec 30 03:57:08 <jpipe> but any program is run
Dec 30 03:57:33 <rcn-ee> did you enable the microphone thru alsamixer?
Dec 30 03:57:45 <rcn-ee> is the microphone (usb) even detected/supported by your kernel?
Dec 30 03:58:58 <jpipe> I gona try that. How I do this?
Dec 30 04:46:20 <TLoFP1> has anybody here worked with the PRU on the BBB?
Dec 30 04:51:28 <musufu> just to not let it go unanswered :) i didn't (except for enabling a power domain on darmin (not linux)), that must be pcrm though
Dec 30 05:35:41 <anujdeshpande> anyone know when the PRU C compiler is going to be available ?
Dec 30 05:41:17 <TLoFP1> is it in the works?
Dec 30 05:41:33 <TLoFP1> the PRU unit looks really nice, it runs at 200 MHz :D and there are two cores as I understand it
Dec 30 05:46:26 <anujdeshpande1> TLoFP1: it is the works afaik.. was wondering if anyone had a link to a prerelease or something
Dec 30 05:46:26 <anujdeshpande1> http://ranostay.blogspot.in/2013/12/adventures-in-am335x-pru-lighting.html
Dec 30 05:48:10 <TLoFP1> awesome
Dec 30 05:59:20 <bkeating_> Hey everybody. Im a newb and huge fan of BeagleBone (via Black)
Dec 30 06:06:31 <bkeating_> weirdest thing, i can ssh in, but from it, i cannot ping out to the internet. fresh angstrom install.
Dec 30 06:20:00 <anujdeshpande1> bkeating_: how is the bbb connected to your laptop ?
Dec 30 06:20:14 <bkeating_> USB.
Dec 30 06:20:30 <bkeating_> realizing DHCP is not working, which I'm realizing may be a clue
Dec 30 06:21:34 <myself> is your laptop acting as a router? :)
Dec 30 06:22:00 <bkeating_> liking need to set that up! (on the host machine). d'oh
Dec 30 06:23:51 <anujdeshpande1> bkeating_: if you are on a linux machine, check this out https://github.com/anujdeshpande/BBB-workshop#getting-started
Dec 30 06:23:58 <myself> Well at least the problem is apparent now :)
Dec 30 06:24:17 <SAM2207> Hi ppl
Dec 30 06:24:41 <SAM2207> I've recently bought a fresh BBB
Dec 30 06:25:04 <SAM2207> but i've some prob installing a webserver in it. Can anyone help..!
Dec 30 06:26:15 <anujdeshpande1> SAM2207: there already is a webserver on it
Dec 30 06:26:24 <anujdeshpande1> which one do you want ?
Dec 30 06:26:36 <SAM2207> I'm trying Lighttpd
Dec 30 06:26:52 <anujdeshpande1> does an angstrom package exist for it
Dec 30 06:26:54 <anujdeshpande1> ?
Dec 30 06:27:00 <SAM2207> the OS installed in BBB is Angstrom
Dec 30 06:27:06 <SAM2207> yes
Dec 30 06:27:24 <anujdeshpande1> where are you stuck ?
Dec 30 06:27:29 <SAM2207> first i thought it might be pre-installed
Dec 30 06:27:52 <SAM2207> getting error in installing the lighttpd
Dec 30 06:28:21 <SAM2207> the thing is we can access the BBB using a default IP 192.168.7.2
Dec 30 06:28:38 <anujdeshpande1> because there's node.js on it already.
Dec 30 06:28:45 <SAM2207> now this means that the BBB has some sort of web server installed
Dec 30 06:28:47 <anujdeshpande1> it comes preinstalled
Dec 30 06:28:50 <anujdeshpande1> correct.
Dec 30 06:29:07 <SAM2207> can't i replace that thing with my own
Dec 30 06:29:12 <SAM2207> page
Dec 30 06:29:44 <anujdeshpande1> SAM2207: course you can
Dec 30 06:30:07 <anujdeshpande1> you'll have to find out where the .html, etc are stored for the default server
Dec 30 06:30:55 <SAM2207> ya, i tried searching in etc/ but didn't find any
Dec 30 06:31:02 <SAM2207> previously i
Dec 30 06:31:12 <SAM2207> did this embedded webserver thing on ubantu
Dec 30 06:31:31 <SAM2207> in that there was a file in etc/httpd.conf
Dec 30 06:31:46 <SAM2207> but here in this case i'm not able to locate that file
Dec 30 06:32:46 <anujdeshpande1>  you could use the find command
Dec 30 06:33:14 <SAM2207> ok
Dec 30 06:33:28 <SAM2207> i'll try to find with that
Dec 30 06:40:33 <SAM2207> i didnt find anything when i used "find"
Dec 30 06:40:43 <SAM2207> i googles this query
Dec 30 06:41:05 <SAM2207> i found someone describing regarding THUNAR File manager
Dec 30 06:41:30 <SAM2207> will that be useful..?
Dec 30 06:43:53 <anujdeshpande1> SAM2207: not really
Dec 30 06:43:58 <anujdeshpande1> cd /
Dec 30 06:44:12 <anujdeshpande1> find - name filename .
Dec 30 06:50:14 <bkeating_> Ahha. OSX has broken Internet Sharing recently: http://goo.gl/3RazgH
Dec 30 06:51:00 <anujdeshpande1> that figures ..
Dec 30 06:51:11 <anujdeshpande1> bkeating_: have you found a workaround yet ?
Dec 30 06:51:21 <bkeating_> see link
Dec 30 06:51:35 <bkeating_> this is a major bummer. oh well. stepping through it now.
Dec 30 07:24:50 <shifter1> newb question: a guide I read says that to boot the BBB from micro SD the USB power won't work.  Is that right?
Dec 30 07:31:02 <bkeating_> I don't believe that matters.
Dec 30 07:31:25 <bkeating_> I've flashed mine using an SD card while powered by USB connected to a computer.
Dec 30 07:33:12 <shifter1> I have a debian image I wrote to my sd card, but it doesn't seem to boot or show any output over the hdmi link
Dec 30 07:33:49 <shifter1> I was hoping to leave the existing image on the BBB, and just boot from the SD card
Dec 30 07:39:23 <bkeating_> Im sure you can. hrm...
Dec 30 07:39:27 <bkeating_> (I'm new, also)
Dec 30 07:56:34 <av500> to boot from SD, hold the boot button when powering on
Dec 30 07:57:21 <shifter1> how will i know if the board recognixes that I pushed it?
Dec 30 07:58:03 <shifter1> the blinking pattern looks the same when I hold it  or not
Dec 30 07:59:30 <shifter1> additionally, the video connection never seems to be driven
Dec 30 08:00:42 <N2TOH> check the hdmi cable
Dec 30 08:01:32 <av500> see page 31 in the SRM
Dec 30 08:01:52 <av500> also, you need to reapply power, a RESET is not enough
Dec 30 08:01:57 <av500> for the boot mode to change
Dec 30 08:03:03 <shifter1> wow, it actually was the cable
Dec 30 08:03:27 <shifter1> i got a little tux, then black screen.  progress none the less
Dec 30 08:03:38 <N2TOH> I had to jiggle it a bit
Dec 30 08:07:08 <shifter1> thank you so much, i got to a login prompt.
Dec 30 08:29:37 <wednesday> has anyone been having issues powering usb devices with their BBB rev a5?
Dec 30 08:33:47 <N2TOH> how are you powering the BBB?
Dec 30 08:48:59 <wednesday> mastif_: what build of debian are you using? and what BBB model?
Dec 30 08:51:01 <wednesday> mastiff_: what build of debian are you using and what model bbb? mastiff_: Ive been working on that for days now and my system is causing
Dec 30 08:51:01 <wednesday> severe packet storms on my network.
Dec 30 08:59:12 <shifter1> packet storms?
Dec 30 09:01:09 <wednesday> mastiff_: what build of debian are you using and what model BBB do you have?
Dec 30 10:26:04 <Test_Beagle> can anyone tell me oN how to enable UARt in beaglebone hwite
Dec 30 10:45:39 <KotH> Test_Beagle: depends on the kernel you use
Dec 30 10:45:57 <KotH> Test_Beagle: with a modern kernel, you just have to load the right dtb
Dec 30 10:46:15 <KotH> Test_Beagle: with an older one, you have to edit the board file and recompile
Dec 30 11:50:30 <spbnick> Hi everyone! I'm trying to understand how BBB clocks work. I'm not good at understanding schematic. Could anyone confirm my reading of the page 6? Am I right that SYS_BOOT15 is high and SYS_BOOT14 is low? Am I right that the main oscillator frequency is 25 MHz then? Thanks!
Dec 30 11:53:56 <Rajesh> Board only powers on, Not getting boot
Dec 30 11:55:47 <musufu> that was quick :D said "not getting boot" and left right away :D
**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 30 12:01:50 2013
Dec 30 15:08:30 <spbnick> Regarding my earlier question about the BBB master OSC: I misinterpreted the schematic, the frequency is 24 MHz. The state of the relevant SYSBOOT pins (14:15) is available via control_status register sysboot1 bits. I.e. bits 22-23 at 44E10040.
Dec 30 15:26:26 <samgtr> i would like to contribute to beagle
Dec 30 15:26:30 <samgtr> from where do i start ?
Dec 30 15:26:55 <musufu> do you have a beagle device?
Dec 30 15:26:59 <musufu> :D
Dec 30 15:28:03 <pwillard> samgtr: Make Angstrom give me less angst.  ;-P
Dec 30 16:23:06 <dhamilt9> Hey all, does anyone have any experience with UART communication on the beaglebone?  I'm trying to send/recieve data from UART1, and not having a lot of luck.  When I check the pins with an oscilloscope, it looks like data is being sent, but I think TTYO1 may be configured wrong as I don't seem to be able to read any data or control anything with the data I send out
Dec 30 16:23:39 <musufu> you sure you're on correct port?
Dec 30 16:23:58 <musufu> is it beaglebone black or beaglebone?
Dec 30 16:24:02 <dhamilt9> Beaglebone
Dec 30 16:24:21 <musufu> you're sending data out from beaglebone? and seeing that with scope?
Dec 30 16:24:25 <dhamilt9> yeah
Dec 30 16:24:55 <musufu> what is on the other side?
Dec 30 16:25:01 <musufu> pc? with usb serial?
Dec 30 16:25:08 <dhamilt9> PC with regular serial
Dec 30 16:25:30 <dhamilt9> And a program that can send out "Hello World" and read stuff sent over serial
Dec 30 16:25:52 <musufu> I suppose you have RS-232 <-> 3.3v ttl converter? how do you do this?
Dec 30 16:26:26 <dhamilt9> I actually don't, and that's probably the issue.
Dec 30 16:26:34 <musufu> WUT!?
Dec 30 16:26:43 <musufu> did you connect the serial port directly?
Dec 30 16:26:46 <dhamilt9> Yeah
Dec 30 16:26:54 <musufu> here I'm sharing a link that you can buy a new beaglebone ..
Dec 30 16:27:19 <dhamilt9> ??
Dec 30 16:27:28 <musufu> kidding, not ganna share the url :D
Dec 30 16:27:47 <musufu> what is your actual connection?
Dec 30 16:28:05 <dhamilt9> Wait, hold on
Dec 30 16:28:09 <musufu> ok.
Dec 30 16:28:16 <dhamilt9> Yeah, it's USB out of the PC
Dec 30 16:28:19 <dhamilt9> sorry about htat
Dec 30 16:28:25 <dhamilt9> And then a serial converter
Dec 30 16:28:51 <musufu> aah, thank god, what is your serial converter?
Dec 30 16:28:53 <dhamilt9> wired to the RX and TX pins on the beaglebone
Dec 30 16:28:53 <LetoThe2nd> dhamilt9: if you used a standard rs232-db9 converter an connected it directly to the beaglebone, then you just killed the uarts.
Dec 30 16:29:41 <LetoThe2nd> dhamilt9: standard rs232 is +/- ~15V, whereas the the gpio/uarts on the BB(B) are 3.3V
Dec 30 16:30:07 <LetoThe2nd> hence, the RX of the converter will not recognize the level, and the TX will burn the rx gpio.
Dec 30 16:30:34 <dhamilt9> http://www.valley-ent.com/catalog/rs232-serial-cable-adapter-ftdi-chipset-feet-p-530.html#.UsGfn9__5k8
Dec 30 16:30:53 <dhamilt9> That's what I'm using to convert USB to serial
Dec 30 16:30:59 <musufu> :(
Dec 30 16:31:10 <LetoThe2nd> dhamilt9: if this is the exact cable that you used, then its time to get another beaglebone.
Dec 30 16:31:11 <musufu> Ok, seriously, if your beaglebone is still working, thats nice
Dec 30 16:31:14 <musufu> without a serial port
Dec 30 16:31:49 <dhamilt9> Looking at the output from the computer on the oscilloscope, it's +/- 5v, not 15
Dec 30 16:32:00 <LetoThe2nd> which is still too much.
Dec 30 16:32:06 <dhamilt9> ah, ok
Dec 30 16:32:13 <dhamilt9> Seems like the beaglebone is still working fine
Dec 30 16:32:17 <musufu> aah you might be right, yes some of the converters are +-5v. but as LetoThe2nd said, still too much
Dec 30 16:32:23 <musufu> especially the -5 one.
Dec 30 16:32:39 <LetoThe2nd> you can get a 3.3v converter and try again, but basically i'd bet on the uart to be b0rk3d now.
Dec 30 16:33:00 <dhamilt9> Any way to test if it's still working?
Dec 30 16:33:36 <LetoThe2nd> get a 3.3V uart converter.
Dec 30 16:34:04 <musufu> connect beaglebone's rx to beaglebone's own tx, and see if you're receive what you send
Dec 30 16:34:14 <musufu> still doesn't prove it's completely ok
Dec 30 16:34:16 <LetoThe2nd> or some 3.3V compliant max232 thing
Dec 30 16:36:38 <dhamilt9> If I were to get this:
Dec 30 16:36:38 <dhamilt9> http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_RS232
Dec 30 16:37:08 <dhamilt9> Would that convert 3.3V > 5V?
Dec 30 16:37:22 <LetoThe2nd> thats what its there for, yes.
Dec 30 16:37:30 <LetoThe2nd> its basically a max 232 plus some jumpers.
Dec 30 16:38:05 <musufu> http://www.adafruit.com/products/954
Dec 30 16:45:12 <dhamilt9> So right now, I'm trying to test to see if the UART pins are still working.  I've connected TX and RX, and have two terminal windows open.  Am I right in assuming I should use "cat ttyO1" on one terminal, and on the other "echo 'test1' > ttyO1"?
Dec 30 16:45:52 <musufu> screen /dev/ttyO1 9600
Dec 30 16:46:01 <musufu> type some charactesrs and see if you can type
Dec 30 16:46:20 <musufu> CTRL + A and then CTRL + \ to quit
Dec 30 16:46:36 <dhamilt9> Seems to be working
Dec 30 16:46:45 <dhamilt9> If I type in one terminal, it shows up in the other
Dec 30 16:46:51 <musufu> hmm
Dec 30 16:46:54 <musufu> impressive
Dec 30 16:47:02 <LetoThe2nd> "luck" :P
Dec 30 16:47:12 <musufu> still might be broken, but not entirely :D PURE LUCK
Dec 30 16:47:18 <musufu> +1
Dec 30 16:47:31 <LetoThe2nd> probably the fact that the usb converter delivered only 5v *might* have saved you.
Dec 30 16:48:04 <musufu> NOW GET THE CONVERTER :D
Dec 30 16:50:12 <dhamilt9> Alright, thanks for your help everyone!
Dec 30 16:50:24 <musufu> ;)
Dec 30 16:50:24 <dhamilt9> Much appreciated
Dec 30 17:21:07 <Kelly__> any supporter?
Dec 30 17:28:54 <LetoThe2nd> no valid question, no supporter
Dec 30 17:30:00 * ogra_ supports that answer
Dec 30 17:30:25 * muriani builds supports for LetoThe2nd 
Dec 30 17:30:40 <LetoThe2nd> muriani: do you also support my builds?
Dec 30 17:32:56 <muriani> No.
Dec 30 17:33:02 <LetoThe2nd> damn.
Dec 30 18:25:56 <n|west> I'm just catching on to the buggy usb hotplugging with 3.8 kernel. Any news on patches to this? I've been reading https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/uWMNdBv_aPg and saw this igg campaign : http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/beaglebone-black-usb-hotplugging
Dec 30 18:58:36 <salaet> Hi!
Dec 30 18:59:37 <KotH> grüezi
Dec 30 18:59:42 <salaet> I'm using BBB , and trying to enable after reboot UART1, I can enable UART1 for example  and work with it.When I reboot BBB the configuration of slots dissapeared
Dec 30 18:59:48 <salaet> anybody knows why?
Dec 30 19:00:04 <salaet> grüezi is the solution?
Dec 30 19:00:06 <Russ> n|west, have you bothered to try the latest image?
Dec 30 19:00:21 <KotH> salaet: because the configuration is not persistent
Dec 30 19:00:28 <KotH> salaet: you have to load it at every boot
Dec 30 19:01:29 <salaet> KotH I tryed to add in /boot/uEnv.txt
Dec 30 19:01:37 <salaet> and capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1
Dec 30 19:01:43 <salaet> but dosn't work
Dec 30 19:02:48 <salaet> I'm using default angstrong
Dec 30 19:03:12 <salaet> angstrom sorry
Dec 30 19:04:36 <salaet> I'm following http://learn.adafruit.com/introduction-to-the-beaglebone-black-device-tree/exporting-and-unexporting-an-overlay
Dec 30 19:04:46 <salaet> but doesn'ts seems to work complete
Dec 30 19:15:31 <salaet> anybody knows how can I do persistent?
Dec 30 19:24:08 <jpipe> my beagleboard no play any sound, someone can help me?
Dec 30 19:43:22 <nezZario> Ahh
Dec 30 19:43:27 <nezZario> Here you all are
Dec 30 19:44:17 <nezZario> So I'm thinking about getting the beagle black... just curious, does it run android OK?
Dec 30 19:44:24 <nezZario> if so, can you use netflix with it?
Dec 30 19:44:36 <nezZario> i'm going to pick one up regardless, i'm just curious if i wanted to use it that way..
Dec 30 21:40:30 <pmuno007> Hi everybody. I got a used BBB and I'm trying to boot using an image of arnstrong distribution. I saved the image to an sd card, I applied 5 volts of power to the BBB, and then I press the boot button, apply power to it and wait 1 hour, but nothing happens. If I take the sd card off and plug it into the computer, it does not get recognized. What am I doing wrong?
Dec 30 21:41:33 <Vaizki> are you sure it's not the apollo flight computer and you have the armstrong distribution?
Dec 30 21:42:14 <Vaizki> if it's really a BBB and the ångström distro, I'm pretty sure you didn't "copy" or "write the image onto the sd card" right
Dec 30 21:43:05 <Vaizki> please note that you should press the boot button before you connect ANY power to the BBB as the boot mode is only determined when the SoC gets powered up, not when it's reset by the reset button etc
Dec 30 21:44:47 <pmuno007> It is really the BBB. I downloaded the image with the link provided on the main page, extracted it, put it on the sd card using Win32 Disk imager, then pressed the button before applying power to it, and then kept it pressed for around 5-8 seconds after i connected it
Dec 30 21:45:35 <Vaizki> did the leds blink furiously?
Dec 30 21:46:28 <pmuno007> only at the beginning, then just one of them kept blinking and sometimes another one would blink as well
Dec 30 21:47:58 <somazero> rcn-ee, First - Thank you for the work you do on the BBB images and kernels.  Second, I had a quick question about updating the kernels on those images.  I thought I had read a forum post about the ability to update, for example, the wheezy image's kernel to the latest that you've posted without burning a new image.  Did I misread something, and if not, any assistance would be appreciated.
Dec 30 21:48:55 <rcn-ee> just grap an install-me.sh from any of the directories here (for you distro of course..)
Dec 30 21:49:20 <rcn-ee> you can get a hint of the least/bleeding edge from here: http://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/LATEST-omap-psp
Dec 30 21:50:13 <somazero> Perfect! I thought I had read something about that.  Thanks again for the help!
Dec 30 23:06:21 <SilicaGoo> has anybody seen mranostay?
Dec 30 23:07:46 <SilicaGoo> oooh what timing, he just popped up on gchat
Dec 30 23:07:51 <SilicaGoo> I must have mentally summoned him
Dec 30 23:07:53 <SilicaGoo> wow!
Dec 30 23:30:51 <CanyonMan> wow, I just got a quesiton about an open source project I published and haven't touched for TEN YEARS
Dec 30 23:31:46 <myself> congratulations, the internet remembers and finds you useful!
Dec 30 23:31:55 <CanyonMan> Right?  :-D
Dec 30 23:48:29 <CanyonMan> i saw mranostay's comment about a C compiler for PRU
Dec 30 23:48:32 <CanyonMan> I want to know more
Dec 30 23:48:58 <CanyonMan> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.emc.devel/10562
Dec 30 23:49:04 <CanyonMan> what's peculiar to me about that is
Dec 30 23:49:14 <CanyonMan> a gcc based compiler on a system with a method of linking similar to LR
Dec 30 23:49:18 <CanyonMan> but no stack

Dec 31 00:33:16 <bkeating_> There definitely seems to be something wrong with USB tethering via OSX Mavericks (10.9). As 10.8 seems to work just fine. Any tips on where best to go to help contribute a solution for this. They have better of changed things around for good reason (Apple) *shakes fists*
Dec 31 01:20:55 <mrpackethead> sigh.
Dec 31 01:29:31 <CanyonMan> what's wrong
Dec 31 01:29:41 <CanyonMan> is your window size too small?
Dec 31 01:29:49 <CanyonMan> Didn't receive the FIN2 and now you're just stuck hanging there?
Dec 31 01:29:56 <CanyonMan> MSS exceeded?
Dec 31 02:15:26 <echoskope> hello?
Dec 31 02:15:30 <echoskope> anyone home?
Dec 31 02:15:38 <musufu> i'm home
Dec 31 02:15:40 <musufu> hello
Dec 31 02:16:22 <echoskope> could you help point me in a direction regarding the touchscreen drivers for the bone black? I'm interested in trying to figure out how to fix the jitter... but I am by no means a developer...
Dec 31 02:17:35 <musufu> hmm. sorry no idea
Dec 31 02:17:51 <musufu> I could help with a bit help from your side
Dec 31 02:18:08 <musufu> for example what is the driver/software do you use for touchscreen
Dec 31 02:18:42 <echoskope> well from the research I have done so far it looks like it is all from the tslib library and TI's drivers
Dec 31 02:19:06 <musufu> okay, what is your touchscreen device?
Dec 31 02:19:26 <echoskope> oh, its a 4Dsystems 7" LCD w/ 4wire resist touch
Dec 31 02:21:10 <echoskope> I still don't quite understand how the bone knows there is a touch device attached to it... Is it via the EEPROM contents on the cape? I am very new to this (coming from arduino and raspPi)
Dec 31 02:22:09 <musufu> yes, it uses eeproms to see devices
Dec 31 02:23:22 <musufu> the documention for lcd says there is a utility (probably in angstrom) to calibrate it
Dec 31 02:23:28 <musufu> does calibration help for your issue?
Dec 31 02:23:43 <echoskope> unfortunatly no :(
Dec 31 02:24:00 <echoskope> I can execute the ts_calibrate
Dec 31 02:24:14 <echoskope> but when I press on the cross hairs nothing happens
Dec 31 02:24:21 <musufu> hmmmmmm
Dec 31 02:24:31 <echoskope> and when I run ts_test the tracking is waaay off from the cursor
Dec 31 02:25:07 <echoskope> I obtained and installed an older version of angstrom which I heard it worked
Dec 31 02:25:13 <musufu> ok, can there be any electrical problems around?
Dec 31 02:25:15 <echoskope> and the jitter was no longer a problem
Dec 31 02:25:45 <echoskope> well I ordered another LCD cape to make sure I hadn't somehow damanged this one
Dec 31 02:26:00 <musufu> same result?
Dec 31 02:26:01 <echoskope> but from google I've read its a driver issue
Dec 31 02:26:13 <echoskope> Oh, the other one won' be here till tomorrow
Dec 31 02:26:18 <musufu> ah didn't try yet. ok let me check one thing
Dec 31 02:26:27 <prpplague> echoskope: the issue revolves around problems in the x11 drivers
Dec 31 02:27:14 <echoskope> where can I go to look into the changes made between angstrom revisions to try to figure out what broke?
Dec 31 02:27:35 <echoskope> I need a new evening project to work on :-)
Dec 31 02:29:16 <musufu> you can first find your configuration values
Dec 31 02:29:34 <musufu> try xorg.conf
Dec 31 02:29:45 <echoskope> hmmm ok let me see if I can find it
Dec 31 02:31:39 <echoskope> got it.... So I'm guessing the touch screen is the "Section 'Device'"
Dec 31 02:31:50 <echoskope> with the driver "modesetting"
Dec 31 02:33:02 <musufu> i don't think so,
Dec 31 02:33:21 <musufu> that must be something related to mode setting :D
Dec 31 02:33:39 <echoskope> lol
Dec 31 02:33:46 <musufu> yours should be something like input device :D
Dec 31 02:34:40 <echoskope> hmmm I don't see any kind of input device listede
Dec 31 02:35:29 <musufu> ah
Dec 31 02:35:36 <musufu>  /etc/pointercal.xinput
Dec 31 02:36:14 <musufu> the pdf for lcd says, you might need to delete that file to be able to calibrate properly
Dec 31 02:36:41 <musufu> or just see whats inside of that file
Dec 31 02:36:52 <echoskope> xinput set-int-prop "ti-tsc" "Evdev Axis Calibration" 32 32 4079 4 4104; xinput set-int-prop "ti-tsc" "Evdev Axes Swap" 8                               0;
Dec 31 02:36:55 <echoskope> thats whats in the file
Dec 31 02:37:24 <musufu> so your calibration values are there
Dec 31 02:37:54 <musufu> also note this url; http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Tslib
Dec 31 02:38:10 <musufu> you can just rename that file to something like /etc/pointercal.xinput.backup
Dec 31 02:38:16 <musufu> and then try calibrating again
Dec 31 02:38:19 <echoskope> already done
Dec 31 02:38:21 <echoskope> and no luck :(
Dec 31 02:38:36 <musufu> ok
Dec 31 02:38:37 <echoskope> I think I should just wait till tomorrow and test the new screen
Dec 31 02:38:47 <echoskope> I might have messed this one up
Dec 31 02:38:57 <echoskope> might be running in circles here
Dec 31 02:39:10 <musufu> is there something useful in /etc/ts.conf ?
Dec 31 02:39:28 <Boogerhead> Would a Black be reasonably capable of running Sphinx search on about 1.2gb of documents?
Dec 31 02:39:38 <musufu> i don't think it's gonna be broken that easily, not sure though (not sure about anything, see :D)
Dec 31 02:40:21 <echoskope> ts.conf is set to its default..... nothing interesting...
Dec 31 02:40:28 <musufu> Boogerhead; how much memory does it need? if memory is okay, then the only issue would be getting software there, and speed
Dec 31 02:42:08 <Boogerhead> @musufu: Looks like 25-128mb, so that might work without GUI. Add in Apache and PHP and I think memory might be OK. Wondering about speed.
Dec 31 02:42:30 <Boogerhead> I should mention this could wind up replacing a $16,000 RS/6000 at 233mhz, with a disk array that was probably another $25k. =)
Dec 31 02:43:11 <Boogerhead> Would love to replace the hardware at $1,000:1 ratio. Yay for 1998!
Dec 31 02:47:50 <musufu> :D if it fits in memory, than you just need to test and see
Dec 31 02:48:49 <echoskope> thanks for the help @musufu and @prpplague .... I'm goin to do some research about the X11 drivers and see if I can find someway to compare the working vs non-working
Dec 31 02:49:57 <Boogerhead> @musufu, thanks. I may have to repossess my dad's Christmas gift and bring it to work. Much obliged!
