Oct 27 04:46:41 <piku> join #gpe-project
Oct 27 04:47:00 <piku> or something...
Oct 27 04:47:23 <piku> anyone have a sharp clamshell?  The backlight switches off for me and won't switch back on again
Oct 27 04:47:25 <piku> even if I do bl on
Oct 27 04:47:36 <piku> I have to pull the battery and restart it to get the backlight to turn back on
Oct 27 04:47:43 <piku> running latest 2.6.23 rp kernel
Oct 27 07:45:37 <kRiMe8> is there an image for angstrom for a sl-5600
Oct 27 09:03:57 <high_roller> kRiMe8: yea its called poodle
Oct 27 09:22:04 <kRiMe8> does it support opie or oz or is it still just basic
Oct 27 12:18:04 <kRiMe8> im having a little problem getting the right packages to do my install on my poodle
Oct 27 12:18:37 <kRiMe8> i have the ubinpdate.sh and zImage but what do i use for the initrd.
Oct 27 16:16:40 <tripolo> hi
Oct 27 16:18:10 <tripolo> exist a tarball for gpe-angstrom-akita?
Oct 27 16:18:32 <tripolo> for install the system in the sd card
Oct 27 16:19:33 <rob_w> tripolo: roll your own ;-)
Oct 27 16:20:52 <tripolo> sorry, not understand
Oct 27 16:21:52 <tripolo> where download it?
Oct 27 16:27:35 <Zero_Chaos> you make it.
Oct 27 16:27:45 <Zero_Chaos> this is a developer lounge, not for users
Oct 27 19:45:01 <DrClaw> hello there
Oct 27 19:45:45 <DrClaw> I have a question regarding the akita latest directory
Oct 27 19:46:31 <DrClaw> what do I do with those files? they're just modules
Oct 27 19:47:02 <DrClaw> congratz on the new akita mentor by the way
Oct 27 20:15:22 <piku> on my spitz the gpe-conf task_backlight isn't functioning for backlight on and off, only brightness level
Oct 27 20:15:24 <piku> can anyone help?
Oct 27 20:15:44 <piku> only real difference is I am running a 2.6.23 kernel from angstrom so I can use my HSDPA card
Oct 27 20:16:15 <dcordes> piku: I have no gui on my akita so I can not try right now
Oct 27 20:16:28 <dcordes> there is a script for the backlight
Oct 27 20:16:38 <piku> yeah /usr/bin/bl
Oct 27 20:16:42 <piku> which just calls gpe-conf
Oct 27 20:16:44 <piku> either way, it don't work
Oct 27 20:16:54 <piku> if I put it in portrait or lansdscape mode
Oct 27 20:16:55 <piku> it rotates
Oct 27 20:17:03 <piku> so I know that's all working, but if I close the screen or manually type bl off
Oct 27 20:17:05 <piku> no dice
Oct 27 20:17:13 <piku> earlier what happened was the backlight turned off after idling a while
Oct 27 20:17:16 <piku> and decided not to turn back on again
Oct 27 20:17:23 <piku> until I pulled the battery and hard rebooted
Oct 27 20:17:33 <piku> I could even turn the z off and on, it would NOT turn back on
Oct 27 20:17:47 <piku> so something is definitely messy in there
Oct 27 20:17:54 <dcordes> the bl off after standby stuff is annoying
Oct 27 20:18:06 <piku> I thought this would be fixed by now
Oct 27 20:18:12 <piku> I installed OZ 3.5.4 like a year and a half ago
Oct 27 20:18:15 <dcordes> I have no working system at all at the moment because I can't boot from sd
Oct 27 20:18:18 <piku> it did this crap and other crap like that so I went back to cacko
Oct 27 20:18:21 <dcordes> and akita flash is too small
Oct 27 20:18:27 <piku> now I'm back and it worked perfectly at first but then broke itself
Oct 27 20:18:43 <piku> hrmmph.. yeah at least I have my HDD
Oct 27 20:18:46 <piku> though it's slow :-P
Oct 27 20:19:05 <dcordes> what's that hsdpa card you're using?
Oct 27 20:19:13 <piku> sierra wireless 875u
Oct 27 20:19:20 <piku> I have a prism2.5 CF wireless card
Oct 27 20:19:26 <piku> that lasts like ... 45 minutes max on the battery
Oct 27 20:19:45 <piku> this sierra wireless card, lasts like 1.5 hours on battery streaming internet radio
Oct 27 20:20:06 <piku> it actually has it's own built in 380mAh battery for when it has poor signal
Oct 27 20:20:19 <piku> my wifi card gets all hot.. this one stays cool
Oct 27 20:20:27 <dcordes> is that loaded through the cf bus?
Oct 27 20:20:32 <piku> USB host
Oct 27 20:20:44 <piku> it's kind of a strange setup
Oct 27 20:20:51 <piku> angstrom won't let it power up stating it requires too much power
Oct 27 20:20:54 <dcordes> I also use a battery
Oct 27 20:20:56 <piku> so I put it through an unpowered usb hub
Oct 27 20:20:58 <piku> and it just works
Oct 27 20:21:23 <DrClaw> :)
Oct 27 20:21:42 <piku> which btw.. nothing like driving around in your car listening to internet radio
Oct 27 20:21:46 <dcordes> you can also patch the kernel in order to get rid of the power thing
Oct 27 20:21:50 <piku> and chatting on pidgin at the stoplights :-P
Oct 27 20:21:59 <dcordes> ^^
Oct 27 20:22:07 <piku> hrmm...  I should do that
Oct 27 20:22:11 <piku> that way I don't need this hub
Oct 27 20:22:21 <piku> I'm trying to make the whole setup a little lceaner..  it's a little frankensteinish rightnow
Oct 27 20:22:33 <dcordes> if you only use it because of the power thing it would be useful
Oct 27 20:22:48 <piku> well esp because the hub draws some sort of power by itself
Oct 27 20:22:49 <dcordes> ask XorA|gone. he helped me with that
Oct 27 20:22:53 <piku> I know there's an echo command
Oct 27 20:22:56 <piku> you can use to override it
Oct 27 20:23:02 <piku> someone posted it to me on oesf forums
Oct 27 20:23:04 <piku> trying to find it
Oct 27 20:23:36 <dcordes> that did not work for me
Oct 27 20:30:57 <piku> oh you know something funny?
Oct 27 20:31:03 <piku> under cacko 1.23b for spitz
Oct 27 20:31:07 <piku> my headphone jack stopped working
Oct 27 20:31:09 <piku> speaker only...
Oct 27 20:31:14 <piku> I install angstrom and magically it works
Oct 27 20:38:29 <dcordes> piku: there were also problems with it under angstrom
Oct 27 20:38:38 <dcordes> for akita, speaker wasn't working for months
Oct 27 20:38:47 <dcordes> something with the asound.statefiles
Oct 27 20:38:49 <piku> interesting
Oct 27 20:38:52 <piku> well the stereo was wonky
Oct 27 20:39:07 <piku> I had to adjust a parameter in /etc/zaurusd/zaurus-mixer-callback for it to sound correct
Oct 27 20:39:11 <piku> it sounded biases to the right speaker
Oct 27 20:39:41 <dcordes> god the mixers are terrible complicated on the zauri
Oct 27 20:40:01 <piku> I'm just glad I made it do something
Oct 27 20:40:13 <piku> I was in there pokng around with picks trying to push the metal clips closer to the headphone plug
Oct 27 20:40:17 <piku> and resoldering the connector, etc
Oct 27 20:40:20 <piku> to no avail
Oct 27 20:40:25 <DrClaw> :)
Oct 27 20:40:26 <piku> then a simple kernel upgrade fixes it
Oct 27 20:42:55 <DrClaw> hey, I have a question regarding wpa
Oct 27 20:43:01 <DrClaw> can I ask it here ?
Oct 27 20:43:37 <DrClaw> I think I've got my wpa_supplicant configured right, since wpa_cli status returns a wpa_state completed
Oct 27 20:43:45 <DrClaw> but
Oct 27 20:43:56 <DrClaw> there's no IP assigned to wlan0
Oct 27 20:44:14 <DrClaw> so somewhere there should be a dhcp call
Oct 27 20:44:17 <DrClaw> but where ?
Oct 27 20:45:32 <piku> you want to setup in /etc/network/interfaces wlan0
Oct 27 20:45:40 <piku> you put a dhcp call in there
Oct 27 20:45:52 <piku> you also put in that config to use wpa_supplicant
Oct 27 20:45:53 <DrClaw> right now I did a manual call .. and that worked
Oct 27 20:45:57 <piku> when you put the card in
Oct 27 20:46:04 <piku> it starts wpa_supplicant
Oct 27 20:46:07 <piku> and does dhcp itself
Oct 27 20:46:09 <DrClaw> well, that would be great, if I knew how
Oct 27 20:46:09 <piku> if you want to do manual
Oct 27 20:46:14 <piku> udhcpc -i wlan0
Oct 27 20:46:25 <DrClaw> yeah, I just dud that .. got an IP
Oct 27 20:46:41 <DrClaw> but the /etc/networks/interfaces is broken
Oct 27 20:47:14 <DrClaw> ive got
Oct 27 20:47:23 <DrClaw> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
Oct 27 20:47:29 <DrClaw> wpa-essid myessid
Oct 27 20:47:52 <DrClaw> wpa-key blablab .. where blabla is a 64 character hex string
Oct 27 20:48:07 <DrClaw> and thats basically everything
Oct 27 20:48:33 <DrClaw> I'm missing something here, but what
Oct 27 20:52:35 <piku> do it like this
Oct 27 20:52:37 <piku> which works for me
Oct 27 20:52:50 <piku> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
Oct 27 20:52:53 <piku> wpa_driver hostap
Oct 27 20:53:02 <piku> wpa_conf /path/to/your/conf
Oct 27 20:53:10 <piku> pre-up iwpriv wlan0 reset 1
Oct 27 20:53:20 <piku> and I also do a firmware load on my prism2.5 card
Oct 27 20:53:31 <piku> pre-up prism2_srec -r wlan0 /etc/pcmcia/rf010804.hex
Oct 27 20:53:48 <piku> your wpa_driver might be different depending on your card
Oct 27 20:54:07 <dcordes> for me wpa does not work at all :(
Oct 27 20:54:10 <DrClaw> yeah, that particular bin file is not on my machine
Oct 27 20:54:18 <piku> yeah, have to download it
Oct 27 20:54:31 <DrClaw> but the thing is .. manual WPA works
Oct 27 20:54:42 <DrClaw> so .. that pre_up isnt necessary, right ?
Oct 27 20:54:46 <piku> if you google for it you'll find an archive that has a folder called Latest-Prism in it or something like that
Oct 27 20:54:47 <piku> that has the file
Oct 27 20:54:52 <piku> I'd say no
Oct 27 20:54:57 <piku> I needed to do it to get it working at all
Oct 27 20:55:01 <piku> but then again I am using it with cisco leap
Oct 27 20:55:12 <piku> I can use regular wep from wpa_supplicant without doing the firmware load
Oct 27 20:59:39 <piku> fixed my backlight
Oct 27 20:59:39 <DrClaw> which webbrowser do you use on angstrom ?
Oct 27 20:59:44 <piku> you have to do bl off 5
Oct 27 20:59:46 <piku> and bl on 255
Oct 27 20:59:54 <DrClaw> congratz
Oct 27 20:59:56 <piku> 255 being full brightness, 5 being minimum
Oct 27 21:03:47 <piku> cool.. now if I could just make gpe not so freaking slow, it'd be just about perfect
Oct 27 21:05:57 <dcordes> bbiab
Oct 27 21:06:50 <DrClaw> which webbrowser do you use ?
Oct 27 21:07:05 <DrClaw> I just installed minimo, looks great but crashes on secure website :S
Oct 27 21:09:55 <DrClaw> by the way, your interfaces config worked
Oct 27 21:10:03 <DrClaw> thanks
Oct 27 21:12:03 <DrClaw> I've got the distnct feeling that downloading firefox to my akita isnt a good idea
Oct 27 21:26:00 <DrClaw> by the way, why isn't it possible to run opera on angstrom ?
Oct 27 21:46:12 <mimecar> hi
Oct 27 21:49:32 <DrClaw> hi
Oct 27 22:00:33 <DrClaw> how do I add an icon to the interface ?
Oct 27 22:01:39 <mimecar> do you know files ".desktop" ?
Oct 27 22:03:45 <DrClaw> yeah Im now editing a file in /usr/share/applications
Oct 27 22:03:57 <mimecar> that's the only way actually
Oct 27 22:04:25 <DrClaw> hehe, well, Im a bit unfamiliar with the distro so I asked before I poked around
Oct 27 22:04:43 <mimecar> :)
Oct 27 22:06:52 <mimecar> DrClaw: you can use icons from /usr/share/icons or ~/.icons
Oct 27 22:07:07 <mimecar> the second folder has preference over the first
Oct 27 22:09:47 <DrClaw> cool, thanks
Oct 27 22:10:04 <DrClaw> I stole the icon from another app
Oct 27 22:10:12 <mimecar> xD
Oct 27 22:20:09 <DrClaw> well, I'm a happy puppy for now
Oct 27 22:20:50 <DrClaw> machine works with WPA, scummvm runs .. now only an SSL ready browser and Im on my way
Oct 27 22:35:04 <DrClaw> anyway, gnite people
Oct 27 22:35:08 <DrClaw> thanks for the info
Oct 27 22:43:33 <mimecar> hi dcordes
Oct 27 22:43:38 <dcordes> hey mimecar 
Oct 27 22:43:40 <dcordes> que tal?
Oct 27 22:45:12 <mimecar> i'm fine :)
Oct 27 22:45:21 <mimecar> i got angstrom compiled for x11
Oct 27 22:46:03 <dcordes> in your virtual machine?
Oct 27 22:46:09 <mimecar> yes
Oct 27 22:46:13 <dcordes> nice
Oct 27 22:46:28 <mimecar> i had a problem and i must started from scratch
Oct 27 22:46:50 <dcordes> that's annoying
Oct 27 22:46:56 <mimecar> yes
Oct 27 22:49:55 <mimecar> it was something worng with my configuration, two image files on two diferent folders
Oct 27 22:51:09 <dcordes> which folders?
Oct 27 22:51:42 <mimecar> one on /stuff/... and other on my home
Oct 27 22:52:36 <dcordes> in your /home/ folder?
Oct 27 22:52:48 <mimecar> yes
Oct 27 22:52:52 <dcordes> this is odd
