**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 27 03:00:00 2005 Dec 27 03:27:43 rwhitby: thanks **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 27 06:05:15 2005 Dec 27 10:18:04 hi, need some advice on a bb file Dec 27 10:18:25 pvrusb2-mci requires tda9887 so I have added an RDEPENDS in the .bb file Dec 27 10:19:08 however, tda9887 needs to be started with port2=0 Dec 27 10:19:26 locally I can achieve that by adding in modprobe.conf: Dec 27 10:19:27 options tda9887 port2=0 Dec 27 10:19:55 (or I could stuff it in modutils) Dec 27 10:20:19 however, I have no idea how to achieve this in a .bb file Dec 27 10:21:42 actually I'm not even sure if I should do this in the pvrusb2 bb file Dec 27 10:22:18 it could equally well be done in kernel-module-tda9887 (but how to add things in there is completely out of my league). Dec 27 10:22:23 Advise anyone? Dec 27 10:23:02 you should only RRECOMMEND kernelmodules as people have could have them built-in Dec 27 10:23:47 ok, will change (actually RDEPENDS was in the original bb file that I kinda inherited from dyoung Dec 27 10:24:56 koen|food, any idea on this tda options? Dec 27 10:25:17 I think (but am not sure) that you can install the options file in /etc/modutils and call 'update-modules' in the postinst Dec 27 10:25:37 you could try asking on #oe, or the oe mailinglist Dec 27 10:25:46 yes, if done in pvrusb2 that would be the best option Dec 27 10:26:25 but shouldn't this be done in the kernel-module-tda9887 pkg ? Dec 27 10:26:36 and these do no not have bb files Dec 27 10:26:51 by the way: enjoy your food Dec 27 10:30:49 koen|food, on another topic, was playing with my audio adapter yesterday, but this time I didn't manage to get any sound from it; seems similar to your imic problem; sometimes when I plug it I can umute it (there is a visual indicator of this), sometimes not (although alsamixer happily mutes/unmutes) Dec 27 10:31:04 seems an initialisation or timing problem Dec 27 10:31:23 didn't have time to further investigate Dec 27 10:31:43 hi! how can i attach a photo to my new page http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddAnInfraredReceiverAndTransmitterWithLIRC ? Dec 27 10:33:01 does it really need a password? who can do it for me? Dec 27 10:39:39 i'd like to add another page to the wiki (AddASimpleTenPinConnector) that will be *very* image intensive.. Dec 27 10:40:32 matthias_, i can't do this for you, but you have asked at the right place. Dec 27 10:41:15 perhaps the people who can do this are not at their computer (e.g. asleep, at work, ...) Dec 27 10:42:11 eFfeM: what would you recommend to do? Dec 27 10:42:54 wait. some people in the channel can do this but apparently they are not there yet, they'll probably see your msg later Dec 27 10:43:08 you can also mail to nslu2-developers Dec 27 10:43:42 matthias_, i would be interested to learn how you intend to use the rc transmitter though. Dec 27 10:43:52 also is this only rc5, or can it also do other protocols Dec 27 10:43:55 ok. i just don't want to push a bunch of images on the list:) Dec 27 10:44:28 that is good, if you just ask the message someone will get back to you Dec 27 10:44:36 and perhaps also if you stay in the channel Dec 27 10:44:38 eFfeM: did you have a look on http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddAnInfraredReceiverAndTransmitterWithLIRC ? Dec 27 10:44:44 yes Dec 27 10:44:51 that's why i asked Dec 27 10:45:20 eFfeM: all protocols that lirc does. you can learn everything. i just wanted to point out that this is NOT irda. Dec 27 10:46:17 eFfeM: i think it's a good use for the unused CTS2. Dec 27 10:46:26 ah, ok, I don't know this device. Dec 27 10:46:58 which device? nslu2?? Dec 27 10:47:12 SFH5110-38 Dec 27 10:47:51 I've used and programmed rc5 before, but the last few times this was integrated into the microcontroller Dec 27 10:47:59 SFH5110-38 is a infrared receiver that filters the 38khz ir-carrier, so you have baseband afterwards. Dec 27 10:48:17 SFH5110-38 < 1 euro Dec 27 10:48:37 and actually the first time I did an rc driver i only had hardware that would receive the ir and send a pulse where we had to do the pulse measurements in sw Dec 27 10:49:15 ok, not sure if rc6 is also on 38 khz, and i must say i also forgot details on the nec ir protocol Dec 27 10:49:58 thought you had something neat in mind for the transmitter Dec 27 10:50:19 rc5 is at 36khz, but it works for the remotes i have at home (there are also SFH5110-x with other frequencies) Dec 27 10:50:19 actually I'm not really a hw person, although i had a hw education Dec 27 10:51:09 the transmit carrier is generated in software (lirc standard), and im "misusing" the green led, to save io pins. Dec 27 10:52:13 however your page triggered another idea: wouldn't it be possible to steal one of the gpio signals (from one of the leds) to add a few additional leds (e.g. by sending a bit train to the port and detect that in a hw module) Dec 27 10:53:09 it does: there is the I2C-Interface, where you can attach an i2c-device.. Dec 27 10:53:29 ..e.g. an 8 bit i/o-port. there you can attach more leds. Dec 27 10:53:31 yes, of course that would even be simpler Dec 27 10:53:51 with your ir transmitter you can actually control your tv Dec 27 10:53:56 and you can have a lot of i/o-port-ICs, because they have addresses. Dec 27 10:54:40 yes, correct. and i can control my musicpd with a ir control. Dec 27 10:54:40 understood, I've worked with i2c before Dec 27 10:54:59 ah, you trigger an interesting topic Dec 27 10:55:08 what audio card have you used? Dec 27 10:55:23 I once managed to get sound on mine, but yesterday it was not responding Dec 27 10:56:18 it seems to be random upon plugging it in, sometimes I can demute and control volume (according to the visual indicators on my sound card) but I could not get any sound any more Dec 27 10:56:34 Don't think I did anything different from the time before Dec 27 10:56:59 and of course my usb sound card works like a charm under FC3 Dec 27 10:57:00 "USB-Audio - C-Media USB Headphone Set" = "Hama USB 5.1 Audio Konverter" at www.conrad.de Artikel-Nr.: 991625 - 62. only 12 euro :-) Dec 27 10:57:14 but it's not 100%. Dec 27 10:58:24 i'm using alsa+oss drivers because volume control only work with alsa and audio playback from mpd only with the oss-compat drivers:-( Dec 27 10:58:57 do you use only alsa or the alsa-oss-module? Dec 27 10:59:53 eFfeM: what application do you use on your slug for audio-playback? Dec 27 11:00:05 actually I started with only alsa but at some point also loaded snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss Dec 27 11:00:23 for now I used only aplay for wav and madplay for mp3 (that one evening that it actually worked) Dec 27 11:00:45 saw the hama device on conrad.de, unfortunately it is not on conrad.nl Dec 27 11:00:55 eFfeM: till now, i guess i didn't understand alsa 100% :-( Dec 27 11:01:02 they have another stereo audio thing for 9.95 Dec 27 11:01:12 neither do * Dec 27 11:01:34 9.95, does this have audio record? Dec 27 11:01:35 neither do I Dec 27 11:02:17 no, no line in, only an output Dec 27 11:02:47 there are things from hong kong and taiwan for $2 plus $7 or so shipping that do audio in/out. no idea if they are supported Dec 27 11:03:06 eFfeM: aumix shows only the record channel, amixer all of them. aplay works. Dec 27 11:04:23 eFfeM: i'm afraid with alsa, there can be half-working devices :-( Dec 27 11:05:29 yup; you mentioned alsa-oss-module? do you mean snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss or is there something else; could not find a feed for alsa-oss-module Dec 27 11:05:38 ah, i found the 9.95 device on conrad.de.. Dec 27 11:05:54 sorry, yes: snd_pcm_oss + snd_mixer_oss Dec 27 11:06:18 ok, that's the same I have Dec 27 11:06:22 to me, it's a work around. Dec 27 11:06:55 i should patch the mpd - .bb und libao .bb to use 100% alsa.. Dec 27 11:07:23 i'm just hoping, someone other does first :) Dec 27 11:08:29 not me, i've insufficient knowledge in that area Dec 27 11:12:29 i'll upload my other page now: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddASimpleTenPinConnector => how to add a simple connector with ten pins that supports rs232, i2c and lirc Dec 27 11:12:56 .. with many missing images, maybe then someone shows a reaction :) Dec 27 11:13:27 ok, perhaps mention this also at the top of the page Dec 27 11:17:28 back in 10 mins Dec 27 13:01:14 koen, RRECOMMEND is not accepted by bb, moving back to RDEPENDS Dec 27 13:02:23 unparsed line: 'RDEPENDS "kernel-module-tda9887"' Dec 27 13:02:47 oh ***t, forgot the =, sorry Dec 27 13:03:01 RRECOMMENDS should work Dec 27 13:03:17 with or without S Dec 27 13:04:09 packages/vlan/vlan_1.8.bb:2:RRECOMMENDS = "kernel-module-8021q" Dec 27 13:04:11 like that? Dec 27 13:04:46 ah, ok, i was searching in the bitbake dir for a flag, earlier you said RRECOMMEND without S Dec 27 13:04:52 will try again, tnx Dec 27 13:04:54 oops Dec 27 13:04:59 nl Dec 27 13:05:02 np Dec 27 13:15:57 eFfeM: do you got my query? Dec 27 13:49:11 kami22, about the timing, yes, but have little time this week and part of next week. I'll work on it but not now, as a workaround just put your clock on gmt like i did Dec 27 13:49:21 (or fix it yourself of course) Dec 27 13:54:20 okay thx will try Dec 27 13:55:06 i'm sorry but there are definitely some other things I have to do first. you will not be forgotten though Dec 27 13:57:53 okay thx Dec 27 13:58:13 if you got a new version with what ever changes plz send it me :) Dec 27 14:10:38 Is there some kind of "Shops where you can buy the slug"-list available? Dec 27 14:12:13 I am desperately trying to get my hands on one, but ... Dec 27 14:12:18 Without any success. Dec 27 14:17:23 i bought my one at ebay Dec 27 14:17:30 where are you from? Dec 27 14:17:40 Germany, the very western part Dec 27 14:18:53 if you don't like to buy it on Ebay here you can get it : http://www.geizhals.at/deutschland/a117939.html Dec 27 14:19:49 I've studied that page for some hours now, and there just is no store that is near enough. Dec 27 14:20:38 sorry i don't understand you can order it by delivery Dec 27 14:20:57 I don't want to. I don't want to pay 14 Euros for P&P Dec 27 14:21:12 and for COD, of course. I just don't have any money to give away. Dec 27 14:22:36 okay but you can pay for "vorkasse" 6,90 or something like this Dec 27 14:23:01 and i think you wont find a shop in your area which is cheaper then this one Dec 27 14:23:43 and it will only take them 34 weeks to deliver the thing to me, sure. Dec 27 14:26:03 okay sorry i think i cant help you Dec 27 14:26:39 I still can't believe that I receive about 3 ad-mails about this device per day Dec 27 14:26:47 and just nobody seems to have it Dec 27 14:34:55 Madkiss: you get spam about the nslu2? Do they mention nslu2-linux.org ;-) Dec 27 14:35:44 no. :P Dec 27 14:40:12 Madkiss, bought mine last year at www.e-bug.de, 2-3 days delivery Dec 27 14:59:36 caplink811: yeah, but COD, right? Dec 27 15:00:32 bought premium (+5¤) and they charged my visa Dec 27 15:02:13 so you paid 15EUR for P&P and anoher 5 for paying Dec 27 15:04:49 Madkiss, at e-bug.de p&p is 6,99¤ Dec 27 15:05:40 if you're located in germany Dec 27 15:18:51 hi, anyone an idea how I can get something in /var/log/messages; apparently this stopped working in the head version (or in the busybox in the head) Dec 27 15:18:57 klogd and syslog are running Dec 28 01:38:35 hi, have a problem, I've added the cdstatus package in openslug-packages.conf; but after doing that bb cdstatus still complains "nothing provides cdstatus" Dec 28 01:38:46 still it exists in my packages dir and also in tmp/cache: Dec 28 01:38:48 OpenSlugHead/openslug/tmp/cache/_home_slug_OpenSlugHead_openslug_openembedded_packages_cdstatus_cdstatus-0.96.05.bb Dec 28 01:39:05 what can be going on here Dec 28 01:43:11 hmmm bb file has - i.s.o _ Dec 28 01:44:50 changing that fixes things, will correct **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Dec 28 02:59:58 2005
