Sep 14 12:00:59 <TP2k> Hi
Sep 14 12:01:44 <TP2k> There seems to be conflicting information around... how well (if at all) does angstrom work on the zaurus sl-5500?
Sep 14 12:43:50 <eekee> TP2k: you might find good reports apply to the 2.4 kernel & bad to the 2.6, but another issue is that Gtk+ 2.x as used in GPE is slow enough to be awkward for many people
Sep 14 16:54:07 <TP2k> eekee: Thanks for that. Do you know how well the opie image works instead of the GPE image?
Sep 14 16:57:46 <TP2k> Oh sorry, just read opie is not supported any more
Sep 14 17:06:00 <eekee> TP2k: opie was unmaintained for a while, but last I heard some people had started work on bringing it up to date
Sep 14 17:11:50 <TP2k> I think my best option is just to jump in and try some images out
Sep 14 17:11:59 <eekee> yeah
Sep 14 17:12:06 <TP2k> I'm trying to flash with the x11-minimal image atm but having trouble
Sep 14 17:12:26 <TP2k> although I think it's more a case of downloading a corrupted version
Sep 14 17:12:30 <eekee> ahh
Sep 14 17:17:44 <bluelightning> FYI, I'm the guy maintaining Opie
Sep 14 17:18:02 <eekee> ah that's good to know
Sep 14 17:18:02 <bluelightning> if you have any issues please report them :)
Sep 14 17:18:42 <bluelightning> Opie is supported in Angstrom, I just haven't made the announcement yet
Sep 14 17:18:43 <eekee> can opie be run under X?
Sep 14 17:19:07 <bluelightning> no. well, it could probably be made to with work, but it doesn't usually
Sep 14 17:19:12 <eekee> ahuh
Sep 14 17:20:41 <eekee> just pondering possibilities. I should probably try & build the kernel with the patch for running multiple framebuffer apps, & then between opie and SDL, and maybe some image viewer, I'd be happy
Sep 14 17:20:54 <eekee> I'm currently without PIM apps om my Z ^^;
Sep 14 17:22:34 <eekee> I currently dont' even know how to install my own kernel
Sep 14 17:23:44 <bluelightning> I would just get OE to build all of the packages for me, then install them
Sep 14 17:25:11 <eekee> I'm happy building stuff on my Z, saves maintaining duplicate environments, but the kernel goes some place I don't know about yet, lol
Sep 14 17:35:04 <TP2k> Do you still have to rename zImage.bin to zImage when flashing a collie?
Sep 14 17:36:21 <bluelightning> is collie working now? I thought collie support was still being worked on
Sep 14 17:36:38 <eekee> er...
Sep 14 17:36:56 <TP2k> I don't know, so I was flashing to find out ;-)
Sep 14 17:37:02 <eekee> bluelightning: I think you mean collie support in the 2.6 kernel. 
Sep 14 17:37:20 <bluelightning> eekee: I was under the impression that angstrom only supported 2.6
Sep 14 17:37:20 <TP2k> but I only get both lights on for under 10 secs when trying to flash
Sep 14 17:38:51 <eekee> bluelightning: I vaguely remember some sort of announcement to the effect that the 2.6 was now good enough that support for 2.4 was being dropped, or something, but it's a vague memory
Sep 14 17:43:12 <eekee> I'm trying to think what I've got on my Collie. It's either a late OpenZaurus or an early Angstrom, but it's been neglected ever since the screen cracked a few of years ago
Sep 14 17:43:56 <eekee> anyway it worked, although I couldn't say if every feature did
Sep 14 18:18:34 <TP2k> damn, almost got my collie to boot
Sep 14 18:19:14 <TP2k> flash has worked with the console image. Booting shows the splash screen and the progress bar gets about 50% before stopping
Sep 14 18:19:29 <TP2k> any easy way to turn the splash screen off?
Sep 14 18:21:18 <bluelightning> I think the easiest way is just to uninstall the splashscreen package
Sep 14 18:22:26 <TP2k> how would I do that if i've never fully booted yet?
Sep 14 18:24:55 <mimecar> re
Sep 15 00:27:16 <Tomoe> How are you gentlemen!
