Oct 11 07:14:04 <hooney> hi to all
Oct 11 07:14:58 <hooney> anyone knows why, after i change my date setting on openslug 3.10, the system returns to "Thu Jan  1 01:08:34 CET 1970"  at the next boot ??

Oct 11 08:24:16 <koen> hooney: it looks like your irc client is broken
Oct 11 08:24:28 <koen> hooney: it keeps inserting the same line over and over again
Oct 11 08:25:28 <hooney> sorry, anyone know a solution for that problem ?

Oct 11 14:18:55 <eFfeM> oops, sorry, hit a key by accident or so

Oct 11 14:44:21 <eFfeM> hooney: you need to write the date back to the hw register
Oct 11 14:44:28 <eFfeM> sethwrtc or something like that
Oct 11 14:45:59 <hooney> is it in soma package ?
Oct 11 14:46:04 <hooney> is it in some package ?
Oct 11 14:46:50 <eFfeM> i think it is present always
Oct 11 14:47:12 <eFfeM> checking
Oct 11 14:47:57 <eFfeM> actually the program is called hwclock and resides in /sbin
Oct 11 14:48:19 <eFfeM> you need to invoke the prog with -w (try invoking without args to get the help msg)
Oct 11 14:53:45 <hooney> it tells me
Oct 11 14:53:54 <hooney> hwclock: Could not access RTC: No such file or directory
Oct 11 14:57:01 <hooney> anu idea ?
Oct 11 14:57:05 <hooney> any idea ?
Oct 11 15:04:40 <eFfeM> sorry didn't see your msg (window obscured)
Oct 11 15:04:51 <eFfeM> are you logged in as root. Only root can set the hw clock
Oct 11 15:05:52 <hooney> sure
Oct 11 15:05:54 <eFfeM> you might also check with hwclock what the actual clock setting is. If it is set, and after a reboot you still get jan 1 1970 then the clock is not read. 
Oct 11 15:05:54 <hooney> i am root
Oct 11 15:06:35 <VoodooZ_work> yeah, the RTC on my slug quit working for a while.
Oct 11 15:06:35 <hooney> even if i call hwclock -r to read actual time
Oct 11 15:06:37 <hooney> i get
Oct 11 15:06:38 <hooney> hwclock: Could not access RTC: No such file or directory
Oct 11 15:06:45 <VoodooZ_work> I had to remove and replace the battery to get it to work again.
Oct 11 15:06:45 <eFfeM> if you are root and cannot set the clock it seems that /dev/rtc or so is missing. Can't help you with that on top of my head, and in a minute or so i need to go for dinner
Oct 11 15:07:01 <VoodooZ_work> I don't have this problem anymore as I managed to burn both i2c pins! :(
Oct 11 15:07:35 <VoodooZ_work> So I now live in the 70's permanently! :)
Oct 11 15:07:35 <eFfeM> yup, battery remove can be needed if the clock is stuck; battery replace can be needed if it is worn out (but it should last a vew hrs)
Oct 11 15:07:35 <hooney> so i can try remove and reset the internal battery ?
Oct 11 15:07:51 <eFfeM> VoodooZ_work: just set the clock from ntp
Oct 11 15:07:54 <VoodooZ_work> nah. It' s a mobile robot so no point really.
Oct 11 15:08:20 <VoodooZ_work> that would require network access which is not always available.
Oct 11 15:08:21 <VoodooZ_work> Not a big deal really.
Oct 11 15:08:28 <hooney> there must be a way to set date/time on our slug!
Oct 11 15:09:29 <VoodooZ_work> In my case I'll have to remove the RTC /dev/entry and other crap as It's broken and just taking up memory 
Oct 11 15:09:52 <VoodooZ_work> hooney, there appearsa to be a problem with your /dev/rtc or module.
Oct 11 15:11:09 <hooney> i think the problem i releted with newer updates of 3.10 kernel feeds
Oct 11 15:11:23 <hooney> as i remember that with a fresh 3.10 firmware
Oct 11 15:11:36 <hooney> i had no problems with clock setup..
Oct 11 17:25:06 <VoodooZ> NAiL, do any of the links I posted look useful to you though? (especially the second one with the .bb file)
Oct 11 17:40:17 <ibert> hi! I've got problems configuring upslug2. The error message is "configure.ac: 8: required file `./[config.h].in' not found" but the file is here. What am I missing?
Oct 11 17:50:46 <ibert>  I need not to compile it, I've found an .deb file. so - ignore my prev. post
Oct 11 18:03:29 <joshin> ibert, this is not an upslug support channel.  Try #nslu2-general
Oct 11 18:07:45 <ibert> joshin: sorry & thanks. I've already solved it.
Oct 11 18:42:02 <VoodooZ> later
