**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 04 02:59:57 2009 Apr 04 11:47:50 Is there any way to enter text directly on your Palm when booted to a kernel? Apr 04 13:38:11 raster: hi Apr 04 13:38:22 I finally tried your image Apr 04 13:51:16 1] last version of root image doesn't have kernel modules Apr 04 13:55:22 2] it's not much application rich - it is possible for example create your packages for debian armel? Apr 04 15:29:08 hi, mekius Apr 04 15:29:33 mekius: we've got here HackWeekEnd :b Apr 04 15:29:43 marex, |miska| and myself in one pub :b Apr 04 15:30:20 marex gave me some hints about sound/touchscreen - maybe it fix the problem with touchscreen after suspend Apr 04 16:10:46 * flyback grumbles as his cfl burns out Apr 04 16:10:57 * flyback fumbles around Apr 04 16:12:02 http://cbs11tv.com/local/Core.IP.Networks.2.974706.html <--- come on big meter, wipe out the human race Apr 04 16:12:07 Sleep_Walker: Is that every weekend or is this one particularly special? :) Apr 04 16:12:24 special one Apr 04 16:12:32 ah Apr 04 16:12:47 Sleep_Walker: ah hehe Apr 04 16:12:48 I see Apr 04 16:12:53 Linux Expo is getting near Apr 04 16:16:11 * flyback brb phone Apr 04 16:28:13 Sleep_Walker: Feels good to build my own kernel :D Apr 04 16:28:26 Sleep_Walker: Do you have any new patches yet or still working on it? Apr 04 16:28:35 Or are these changes mostly userspace? Apr 04 16:31:55 mekius: trying to use Marex's aSoC driver now Apr 04 16:32:15 still working on it Apr 04 16:32:21 there are still some weird issues Apr 04 16:37:03 k Apr 04 16:37:06 aSoC? Apr 04 16:37:35 audio system on chip Apr 04 16:38:14 ah :) Apr 04 16:48:13 which touchscreen is on the centro? Apr 04 16:48:35 or rather, which driver does it use :) Apr 04 16:48:56 I guess this ,config for the 680 should have the proper one actually Apr 04 16:51:59 I hope so :b Apr 04 16:52:05 because touchscreen works for me Apr 04 16:52:10 (at least until suspend) Apr 04 16:52:11 :) Apr 04 16:52:28 had some issues with a different rootfs I was trying, I copied over my modules but touchscreen wouldn't work, it was weird Apr 04 16:52:36 so going back to the illume rootfs heh Apr 04 16:53:32 illume seemed to be really useless :/ Apr 04 16:53:36 but nice! ;)( Apr 04 16:53:42 well it's not done yet :) Apr 04 16:53:57 just like E itself isn't quite done yet :) Apr 04 16:54:11 Mostly needs a lot of polish to make sure things fit on screen heh Apr 04 16:57:12 hmm, I may have forgotten to do make modules, oops Apr 04 16:57:25 but shouldn't have been so far out of date as to not load, but we'll see heh Apr 04 16:58:38 it would be great to have OPIE for PXA27x palms Debian Armel repository Apr 04 16:58:45 mekius: are you interested ? ;D Apr 04 18:11:54 just when I thought palm got their head out of their asses Apr 04 18:11:56 with the centro Apr 04 18:12:03 they pick howard stern as the spokesman Apr 04 18:12:07 * flyback shakes his head Apr 04 18:56:20 http://sites.google.com/site/mnsclec/index <-- disgusting, call your congressman etc Apr 04 20:11:25 * flyback bbl Apr 04 20:56:31 Sleep_Walker: Well I'm more of an E fan myself :) Apr 04 20:56:46 Sleep_Walker: I use E17 on my laptop so having it on my phone is just dreamy :) Apr 04 20:57:09 mekius: I can understand Apr 04 20:57:14 e17 is not bad Apr 04 20:58:17 /home/mekius/Misc/phone/linux-2.6-arm/scripts/Makefile.fwinst:45: target `/home/mekius/Misc/phone/illume_rootfs/lib/firmware/vicam/firmware.fw' doesn't match the target pattern Apr 04 20:58:25 I get a bunch of errors like that when I do modules_install Apr 04 21:06:58 any thoughts on why the firmware would be weird? Apr 04 21:08:07 hmm, 1 sec Apr 04 21:13:31 hmm, may have been the postfix I was setting on the kernel name Apr 04 21:29:58 raster: ping Apr 04 21:34:49 Sleep_Walker: ok, seems the screen going black is not X related :D Apr 04 21:35:04 you could ask :b Apr 04 21:35:14 btw. there is some PWM bug in arm-devel Apr 04 21:35:19 working on fix Apr 04 21:35:32 (I didn't cause that, only I'm affected) Apr 04 21:35:58 pulse width modulation?? Apr 04 21:36:08 yes Apr 04 21:36:13 what is that used for? Apr 04 21:36:17 backlight Apr 04 21:36:20 ahhh Apr 04 21:36:26 hmm, that might be it heh Apr 04 21:37:51 hmm, why is there no logs in /var/log? Apr 04 21:37:53 hmm Apr 04 21:37:55 mekius: if you use maximum value of brightness, your screen would be dark Apr 04 21:38:08 ah, well I usually keep mine fairly low Apr 04 21:39:24 this probably is probably a bit different though, just odd that it works for awhile and then finally just dies Apr 04 21:40:27 does the kernel create it's log in /var/log/messages or does syslog take care of making that? Apr 04 21:42:30 i'm guessing syslog since I have no logs :) Apr 04 21:44:08 heh, sometimes starting cocoboot just reboots my phone :P Apr 04 21:49:21 oh I think I see why the touchscreen wasn't working, it was never being calibrated with the other rootfs Apr 04 21:49:42 with the illume rootfs it always runs the calibration right away if it's not been done Apr 04 22:00:39 geez, I see about 100 controls in alsamixer :P Apr 04 22:40:11 |miska|: any luck with your T|X? Apr 04 22:46:22 enigme, he's offline on jabber Apr 04 22:47:11 marex: oh, thanks Apr 04 22:50:48 marex: speaking of jabber, is there a good jabber client for opie? Apr 04 22:53:33 qpe-gaim Apr 04 22:56:38 marex: cool -- do you know if OTR is supported? Apr 04 22:56:51 OTR ? Apr 04 22:57:07 it uses libgaim 1.5.0 ... google that Apr 04 22:57:10 marex Apr 04 22:57:12 off-the-record messaging (encryption) -- http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ Apr 04 22:57:18 has anything come of the usb code since we tested in nov? Apr 04 22:57:22 for pxa270 Apr 04 22:57:33 it's a plugin for pidgin/adium Apr 04 22:57:57 dunno ... it supports what libgaim 1.5.0 does Apr 04 22:58:39 alright, thanks Apr 04 22:59:02 how hard is it to get a GUI program working with opie without actually using X11? Apr 04 22:59:25 I assume it's more work than just cross-compiling the source like a commandline app would be Apr 04 23:18:23 * flyback is going to setup a jtag programmer box before he croaks soon or loses what's left of his mind Apr 04 23:24:06 * flyback continues to fight the urge to pass out Apr 04 23:38:50 enigme, qpe-gaim is an opie app Apr 04 23:38:55 also ... opie has some X11 support Apr 04 23:39:22 marex: I mean in the general case with some random non-opie application Apr 04 23:39:32 gpe seems to be better for that, but I don't know if it's any better than opie Apr 04 23:39:38 * enigme thinks of, for example, web browsers Apr 04 23:39:55 konqueror embedded is quite fine Apr 04 23:40:57 I haven't tried it since my t|x has no wifi support yet :) -- but how well does it work on large websites like, say, Slashdot? Apr 04 23:41:01 marex Apr 04 23:41:11 if it can handle a mispelled url without shitting itself Apr 04 23:41:15 > palm blazer Apr 04 23:41:16 :P Apr 04 23:41:19 blazer dies if you try to go to http://slashdot.org/ Apr 04 23:41:24 yep Apr 04 23:41:31 blazer = more unstable than flyback Apr 04 23:48:54 mekius: pong Apr 04 23:50:16 enigme, dunno, I never tried, it works well with hackndev.com though ;) Apr 04 23:50:38 marex: works for me :D Apr 04 23:50:55 marex: does it compress pages to look smaller, or allow you to zoom in and out like iPhone Safari or Opera Mini? Apr 04 23:51:42 http://www.basyskom.de/index.pl/konqe Apr 04 23:51:44 you can zoom Apr 04 23:52:59 cool, thanks. one other thing -- how fast is it? Apr 04 23:53:34 if you're on wifi, that is, so there are no bottlenecks there -- just device speed Apr 04 23:58:16 marex: do you know when |miska| might be around? Apr 04 23:58:56 2am here Apr 04 23:58:59 tomorrow Apr 04 23:59:29 laziness is very exhausting so expect him later tomorow Apr 04 23:59:34 sorry, I mean do you know what time he might be around? is he around more in the morning or in the evening? Apr 04 23:59:35 he needs to recharge himself Apr 04 23:59:39 alright Apr 05 00:00:04 he might be awake by the lunchtime Apr 05 00:00:14 (12 hrs from now) Apr 05 00:01:45 Sleep_Walker, any progress with the Codec ? Apr 05 00:03:13 I just arrived Apr 05 00:07:12 mekius, dont you feel like taking your centro apart and making some photos ? Apr 05 00:17:14 marex: I just don't understand why old driver works and the asoc one does not Apr 05 00:17:39 it also time outs Apr 05 00:17:49 or times out? Apr 05 00:18:05 time-outs ;) Apr 05 00:22:59 marex: lol, photos of what exactly? Apr 05 00:23:34 marex: I don't plan on taking it back so not too worried about warranty, I love this phone heh Apr 05 00:24:27 mekius, the PCB Apr 05 00:24:38 marex: what is that going to tell you? Apr 05 00:24:43 the photos on FCC website are too low resolution Apr 05 00:24:54 mekius, what chips does it contain ;) Apr 05 00:25:38 Noone has cracked open a Centro CDMA phone yet? Apr 05 00:25:43 Isn't this thing like a year old? Apr 05 00:27:40 I may be tempted, but not going to do it tonight Apr 05 00:30:59 mekius, you dont have to if you find some pics on the net ;) Apr 05 00:31:13 mekius, I googled quite a bit, but none were quality enough Apr 05 00:31:44 Ah Apr 05 00:31:56 Well I have a decent camera, I might be able to get a somewhat good shot Apr 05 00:32:03 It's just hard to get it to focus on the right things sometimes heh Apr 05 00:33:44 doesnt it have "macro mode" Apr 05 00:36:32 might have something like that, I don't use it too much heh Apr 05 00:36:39 And I'm not expert photographer :P Apr 05 00:37:48 mekisu is making phone-porn Apr 05 00:37:53 taking off all its clothes Apr 05 00:38:01 phone-pr0n! Apr 05 00:38:28 lol Apr 05 00:38:48 Well like I said, I might do it eventually, but probably not this weekend Apr 05 00:38:54 I don't want to mark up the seam heh Apr 05 00:39:05 I'm sure getting this thing apart will be hell Apr 05 00:39:33 I wont touch Centro for the rest of this weekend anyway ... I need to study theory of automata Apr 05 00:40:05 automata? Apr 05 00:40:24 Ah, I see Apr 05 00:40:35 Sounds very abstract and confusing, have fun with that :P Apr 05 00:42:18 automata is fun :) Apr 05 00:44:36 yea ... automata is nice :) Apr 05 00:46:51 gotta love the information/diagrams on govt websites, they are generally shit heh Apr 05 00:47:39 Is Sleep_Walker off to bed? Apr 05 00:48:01 still alive Apr 05 00:48:14 hehe Apr 05 00:52:40 raster: With illume rootfs if I just keep using it my screen never dies, but if I let it sit it will just stop working, is there some sort of auto-suspend being setup? Apr 05 00:52:49 just odd that it depends on my activity Apr 05 00:55:08 Sleep_Walker: If there is something causing it to suspend my screen issue might be the same that you've seen Apr 05 00:55:14 well suspend my device rather Apr 05 00:55:44 mekius: hmm no - no auto-suspend Apr 05 00:55:49 I really need to get my own OE setup here so I can build my own with updated illume+e17 :) Apr 05 00:55:55 well there is - technically Apr 05 00:55:57 but it wont work Apr 05 00:55:59 raster: Anything that OE would be adding without you knowing? Apr 05 00:56:04 as the service handling the suspend doesnt exist Apr 05 00:56:08 ah Apr 05 00:56:10 hmm Apr 05 00:56:34 raster: will you create some new image? Apr 05 00:56:45 (some bigger, with applications :) Apr 05 00:56:45 Sleep_Walker: actually i did recently... Apr 05 00:56:49 tho i'm not happy with it Apr 05 00:56:57 and no - i didnt plan on including lots of apps Apr 05 00:56:58 raster: It's really hard to concentrate on GSOC when I have this new phone :P Apr 05 00:57:03 New toys are bad for me heh Apr 05 00:57:05 they canbe installed Apr 05 00:57:14 the illume image is mostly for me to test/work on e+illume Apr 05 00:57:17 not really anything else Apr 05 00:57:17 How do you install extra apps btw? Apr 05 00:57:22 i'm not trying to become a distro maintainer Apr 05 00:57:39 mekius: get ipk's and opkg install them Apr 05 00:57:48 ah ok Apr 05 00:57:54 or build my own packages :) Apr 05 00:58:00 yes Apr 05 00:58:17 my current images include gcc, autotools etc. Apr 05 00:58:24 so u can build on the target too Apr 05 00:58:39 gotcha Apr 05 00:58:42 but my image is more intended as a dev/debug image and something of an example to work from Apr 05 00:58:52 I would not build on my 300Mhz arm :P Apr 05 00:58:55 ie if someon wants to do a real "usable" image with lots of apps Apr 05 00:58:57 build off it Apr 05 00:59:04 I know :) Apr 05 00:59:16 which 'machine Apr 05 00:59:31 oh nvm, they have a 650 machine in OE don't they Apr 05 01:00:58 yes Apr 05 01:01:13 when i moved to angstrom it broke exquisite as the splash Apr 05 01:01:17 so i need to fix that again Apr 05 01:01:59 Is there a getting started guide for OE? Apr 05 01:02:14 I installed bitbake and all the deps and such, but don't really know where to start heh Apr 05 01:02:29 yeah, they have their own splash so you'll probably have to hack that quite a bit Apr 05 01:03:15 angstrom by default doesn't seem to run any calibration on the first run either so my touchscreen is useless :P Apr 05 01:03:34 I used some online thingy to build an angstrom+e17 image Apr 05 01:04:12 mekius: theres a howto Apr 05 01:04:15 gettign started Apr 05 01:04:29 and yes Apr 05 01:04:31 hmm, can't seem to find it on their stupid wiki... Apr 05 01:04:33 angstsom doesnt run it Apr 05 01:04:43 oh wait Apr 05 01:04:44 ui have got calibration for palmt650 in my image Apr 05 01:04:48 so its pre-calibrated Apr 05 01:04:50 nvm, found it now Apr 05 01:04:59 I guess it's harder to see things when I'm falling asleep heh Apr 05 01:05:22 yeah, it runs the xcalibrate or whatever on the first run, very convienent :) Apr 05 01:05:32 convenient* Apr 05 01:05:57 "IMPORTANT NOTES: this guide assumes that: Apr 05 01:05:57 the base directory of your Openembedded environment is /stuff/" Apr 05 01:06:03 what kind of silly assumption is that? Apr 05 01:06:22 change /stuff/ to /wherever/you/put/it/ Apr 05 01:06:24 in the guid Apr 05 01:06:33 oe is dependent on where it lives Apr 05 01:06:36 yeah I know Apr 05 01:06:42 just a funny directory to use as an example hhe Apr 05 01:06:44 heh* Apr 05 01:06:48 as part of the build end it has to be able to write in absolute paths into linker scritps etc. Apr 05 01:06:57 Ah, I see Apr 05 01:07:58 thats why its so hard to just provide a startup tarbakll u can untar anywhere and just use Apr 05 01:08:59 yeah Apr 05 01:29:33 sigh...more git fun... Apr 05 01:34:17 * mekius twiddles thumbs Apr 05 01:40:35 raster: do you happen to have a local.conf that I could borrow? :) Apr 05 01:40:47 making my own now Apr 05 01:41:19 mekius: look in svn Apr 05 01:41:20 :) Apr 05 01:41:27 oh ok Apr 05 01:43:51 what is jffs2? Apr 05 01:44:05 a filesystem for flash chips Apr 05 01:44:10 ah Apr 05 01:44:33 (ir raw flash - nand, not sd/cf. thats flash behind a ware levelling virtual block layer) Apr 05 01:48:59 raster: so do you recommend I use angstrom as my distro base or is openmoko better? Apr 05 01:49:13 I know what flash is :) Apr 05 01:49:16 angstrom Apr 05 01:49:20 ok Apr 05 01:49:34 did u use my local.conf ? Apr 05 01:49:41 so the oe stuff in our svn is just a local copy of what's in their git eh? Apr 05 01:49:49 I'm picking parts out of yours to make my own Apr 05 01:49:53 aaah no Apr 05 01:49:54 it isnt Apr 05 01:49:58 oh ok Apr 05 01:50:05 its a svn copy of a small tree of stuff that sets up a oe build Apr 05 01:50:09 scriptts to set it up Apr 05 01:50:10 etc. Apr 05 01:50:11 and use it Apr 05 01:50:13 some config Apr 05 01:50:14 etc. Apr 05 01:50:18 and some extra .bb's Apr 05 01:50:21 oh I see Apr 05 01:50:23 i havent properly updated it in a while Apr 05 01:50:27 my local tree has moved on Apr 05 01:50:28 so it does the git checkout and such? Apr 05 01:50:32 yup Apr 05 01:50:34 gotcha Apr 05 01:50:45 and it only works in ~/oe Apr 05 01:50:51 in theory it should work anywhere Apr 05 01:50:54 I'll keep an eye on it for when you update it :) Apr 05 01:50:55 but it simply didne Apr 05 01:50:57 didnt Apr 05 01:51:01 somehtng in oe broke that Apr 05 01:51:05 ah Apr 05 01:59:46 if I do BBFILES = "/stuff/openembedded/recipes/*/*.bb" it's going to build everything isn't it? Apr 05 02:03:48 damn ... this sucks Apr 05 02:03:59 well everything required for the target Apr 05 02:04:02 one of the students I teach is probably cheating with homework Apr 05 02:04:03 ie tracing back dependencies Apr 05 02:04:24 marex: cutthem up and feed them to the dogs. Apr 05 02:04:29 as a lesson for others Apr 05 02:04:47 we still havent done "sed" at all, but I got hw with quite some advanced pieces of sed script Apr 05 02:05:00 raster: ah ok, but will this include things like xchat/pidgin/etc? Apr 05 02:05:04 Im really suspicious there Apr 05 02:05:27 raster, well ... hell awaits that student for doing so ;) Apr 05 02:05:32 marex: Does he seem like he knows it already? Apr 05 02:05:44 mekius: no Apr 05 02:05:51 I mean if he seems like an idiot, then probably cheating :P Apr 05 02:05:52 well that depends actually. Apr 05 02:05:54 which image? Apr 05 02:06:01 we'll be doing "sed" next week so I will make sure to do "sed" properly Apr 05 02:06:03 very properly Apr 05 02:06:21 raster: distor?
