**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 21 02:59:58 2012 Feb 21 03:21:52 Are there any special steps needed to get python and opencv working together? I've already installed the python-opencv opkg, but it fails to pull anything from my webcam device. Feb 21 03:22:14 (I'm using Angstrom-Cloud9 with the beaglebone) Feb 21 04:01:20 the am3517 is indeed a bastard Feb 21 04:24:14 darn, mru is everywhere I turn: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11855 Feb 21 04:37:29 damn pos puts things at different addresses then other members Feb 21 05:15:36 hello, is it possible to check what kernel build option enable, in angstrom Feb 21 05:26:46 multiplex: you mean what the kernel was built with? Feb 21 05:27:10 zcat /proc/config.gz | grep YOUR_OPTION_HERE Feb 21 05:28:25 yes, thanks Feb 21 05:31:59 it was for CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y Feb 21 05:49:52 my exotic usb device don't load cdc_acm Feb 21 05:50:04 usb 1-1.1: no configuration chosen from 0 choices Feb 21 05:50:58 i tried to force with echo 04d8 000a > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/cdc_acm/new_id Feb 21 05:51:15 but that don't work Feb 21 05:53:06 however my avr programmer load with no problem cdc_acm driver Feb 21 05:54:23 cdc_acm is static in default angstrom ? Feb 21 05:55:57 may be echo VID PID >new_id don't work with static module ? Feb 21 06:24:24 your usb device is connected through some usb chip...like ulpi?if that's the case,you have to first enable your ulpi driver ,than cdc_acm will detect it. Feb 21 06:27:30 does http://pastebin.com/gp7eC9X1 seem like something linux would say if overcurrent protection is triggered on ehci? Feb 21 06:42:06 tus Feb 21 06:42:17 * Russ curses his touchpad Feb 21 06:46:45 hitlin37: it's was an usb hub. but without hub i have the same probleme Feb 21 06:46:54 [ 7877.848683] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04d8, idProduct=000a Feb 21 06:47:03 [ 7877.848700] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Feb 21 06:47:10 [ 7877.849173] usb 1-1: no configuration chosen from 0 choices Feb 21 06:47:28 its tables are screwy methinks Feb 21 06:47:59 if that is true, you'd need quirks Feb 21 06:56:18 someone tried arch linux arm ? Feb 21 06:58:22 tasslehoffwrk: you can disable overcurrent protection from /sys/bus/usb/ur_device Feb 21 07:10:51 hitlin37: thanks. thought maybe I'd turn on ignore_oc in ehci-hcd.c if needed. just need to find out if that's the problem Feb 21 07:11:33 I've also gotten "EMI?" and "bad cable?" messages, so apparently all is not well... Feb 21 07:17:33 Is anyone doing the saas class? Feb 21 07:49:26 hitlin37: where is that overcurrent setting? can't find it. Feb 21 07:56:04 bMaxPower, perhaps Feb 21 07:56:57 echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.1/bConfigurationValue Feb 21 07:56:59 where '2-1.1' can be dynamic.see ur device Feb 21 07:58:09 this helps in case of "no configuration-due-to-insufficient-available-bus-power" Feb 21 07:58:55 but that's oc protection. Feb 21 08:00:00 if protection is on,you won't get any bus power. Feb 21 08:51:03 the goggles, they do nothing: http://design.ubuntu.com/assets/pictograms Feb 21 08:57:40 WTF?! Feb 21 09:19:45 anyone doing the saas-class Feb 21 09:19:47 ? Feb 21 09:20:01 the what class? Feb 21 09:20:20 https://www.coursera.org/saas/ Feb 21 09:20:26 free course on software as a service Feb 21 09:20:30 from stanford and berkley Feb 21 09:20:49 * av500 tries to parse the title slowly Feb 21 09:21:48 lolol Feb 21 09:22:36 just look at the picture, it contains every needed buzz word Feb 21 09:22:54 if you like saas, you are not an embedded developer Feb 21 09:22:58 its ruby on rails tutorial? Feb 21 09:23:04 a Feb 21 09:23:40 agile, highly productiv, long-lasting and cloud. all you ever wished ;) Feb 21 09:24:25 _roger_: ! Feb 21 09:28:17 LetoThe2nd: why not? you could possibly use an arm-based blade setup to host a saas cloud :) Feb 21 09:28:43 or maybe build a really tiny cloud on beagles :) Feb 21 09:30:06 kblin: nvm. Feb 21 09:30:24 aholler_: don't forget chili clouds. Feb 21 09:31:16 kblin: a tiny cloud is called a raindrop? Feb 21 09:34:42 av500: let's make that a new buzzword Feb 21 09:35:11 raindrop computing as more of a ring to it than "embedded cloud computing" Feb 21 09:35:17 I've tried the latter before Feb 21 09:35:39 embedding the cloud in the same device that will access it Feb 21 09:35:58 * av500 has a mixed cloud of binaries in /usr/bin Feb 21 09:36:33 I wonder if booting from NFS is considered saas Feb 21 09:36:55 we have snow clouds Feb 21 09:36:59 much better Feb 21 09:37:20 * LetoThe2nd goes hunt caffeeine clouds. Feb 21 09:37:37 LetoThe2nd: coffee maker exploded? Feb 21 09:38:19 av500: big badaboom...

Feb 21 11:17:24 I replied with "violating the GPL" Feb 21 11:17:39 apparently the correct answer was "gerrit" Feb 21 11:17:56 s/having/have/ Feb 21 11:18:27 gerrit is wrong, we dont use it Feb 21 11:18:37 i mean wrong answer to that question Feb 21 11:19:38 av500: go tell linaro Feb 21 11:19:48 lol Feb 21 11:19:53 all have gerrit Feb 21 11:19:54 lol Feb 21 11:29:05 gerrit? Feb 21 11:30:02 aholler: google review hindrance^H^H^H^H^H tool Feb 21 11:30:14 or a common dutch first name Feb 21 11:30:55 anyway av500 is right, that dutchman didn't understand what a user group is ;) Feb 21 11:45:46 hmm, is gerrit usable? Feb 21 11:46:20 aholler yes Feb 21 11:46:36 better than email review Feb 21 11:46:46 oh, i see something like eclipse setup ... Feb 21 11:47:07 ok, unusable ;) Feb 21 11:48:38 most of the gerrit annoyance stems from 'upstream' not really using it Feb 21 11:48:45 so all patches just bitrot Feb 21 11:49:05 but I guess that would be no better with other systems Feb 21 11:51:09 I'm quite fond of ml + patchwork myself Feb 21 11:51:32 but you're crazy Feb 21 11:51:48 it's not enterprise grade workflow Feb 21 11:52:16 you should add more obfuscation layers in between Feb 21 11:53:03 yeah Feb 21 11:53:11 * koen opens a forum where people can post patches Feb 21 11:53:26 koen: make sure the forum has like 200 topics Feb 21 11:53:33 so that patches really get lost Feb 21 11:53:34 but well patchwork does have web interface, so you can add some bonus points Feb 21 11:56:03 but on the forum I could build my carma and could change avatars weekly! Feb 21 11:59:13 koen: also, you dont post patches on forums, you post zip files on rapidshare Feb 21 11:59:26 which you link to on forums behind Captchas Feb 21 11:59:39 and call it rom Feb 21 11:59:48 that too Feb 21 11:59:51 av500: http://twitter.com/#!/1990sLinuxUser/status/163950167995842560 Feb 21 12:00:24 yes Feb 21 12:00:33 but there is no CVS on iOS Feb 21 12:00:52 use rcs Feb 21 12:05:40 "No need to setup a full fledged mailing list" "The page is not a joke" Feb 21 12:06:09 "just to accept bug fixes" Feb 21 12:06:22 I guess that's the indian way of saying "fuck off" Feb 21 12:06:49 one less thing to worry about Feb 21 12:09:56 http://www.business-und-service.de/ Feb 21 12:10:06 that logo is unfortunate for english customers Feb 21 12:19:09 what's wrong with brown sugar? Feb 21 12:20:16 samething as with point of sale systems Feb 21 14:11:09 i bought a license for cadsoft eagle. Man. I'm so happy with it. Feb 21 14:27:36 koen, POS :) Feb 21 14:28:19 mdp: exactly! Feb 21 14:28:24 koen: imagine years ago we had to market in UK a brand named 'PAF' Feb 21 14:29:15 the number plate code for my community is als "PAF"... Feb 21 14:29:41 sounds sinisterly like PUF Feb 21 14:30:13 koen, why oh why must people cc me on that stuff…I am guilty by CC association :P Feb 21 14:30:13 well better than AIC Feb 21 14:47:11 do you know kicad free cadsoft. i like it Feb 21 14:52:16 yeah i was told about kicad Feb 21 14:52:19 i tried it Feb 21 14:52:30 it's a little too quirky for me righ tnow, maybe in a couple years Feb 21 15:23:56 Hey. On the beaglebone, is cat'ing /sys/devices/platform/tsc/ainX the "normal" way to get an a/d value ? Is it possible to start the D/A conv and then keep polling some flag until it is ready ? Feb 21 15:46:32 jkridner___: bonescript question for you on the ml Feb 21 15:46:40 k Feb 21 15:47:14 "github pull request" is likely the correct, but terse answer Feb 21 15:47:38 jkridner___: and can you give team beagle permission to create repos on the beagle github account? Feb 21 15:47:54 k Feb 21 15:50:53 is that from ken? Feb 21 15:51:18 mdp: the one and only kk Feb 21 15:51:23 mdp: well, besides me Feb 21 15:52:07 * kkeller kkeller is here too :) Feb 21 15:53:31 kkeller: I started down the inquisition path about bonescript versus the nokia kernel fb drivers on G+ Feb 21 15:54:41 * av500 tries to make sense of that Feb 21 15:54:45 I'll post my nokia 5110 bonescript later today… you want a non-clean but working .js file? Feb 21 15:54:53 I'll send private if you want Feb 21 15:55:29 av500, you have to know the sekrit handshake first to parse that Feb 21 15:55:39 "ken sent me" Feb 21 15:55:55 crap Feb 21 15:56:29 * mdp resets all his passphrases Feb 21 15:57:18 * jkridner___ isn't finding the button to add repository creation abilities. Feb 21 15:57:34 * koen reads up on libmount Feb 21 15:58:07 does it mean giving 'administrative' rights? Feb 21 15:58:12 * av500 writes a kernel driver today Feb 21 15:58:15 I think so Feb 21 15:58:31 av500, I hear there's a book for that Feb 21 15:58:36 k, done. Feb 21 15:58:36 on my desk Feb 21 15:58:40 the german version Feb 21 15:58:51 jkridner___: https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-ti/commit/d04a83f7ee7d4a5f51aebc97f444b1f0c19fb0a0 Feb 21 15:59:03 only 2 minutes left in my working day Feb 21 15:59:10 sweet only 1 Feb 21 15:59:27 av500, everything should be a misc device Feb 21 16:00:11 \o/ Feb 21 16:01:09 koen, now you can play Feb 21 16:05:10 * mdp increments koen's meanie count for the earlier incident Feb 21 16:05:29 mdp: how do you increase INFTY? Feb 21 16:05:51 foiled again Feb 21 16:06:08 it was only a month ago I change that field to a u64 Feb 21 16:08:01 so kkeller, did you basically port the arduino sketch stuff for that demo you showed... on top of your bonescript mods? Feb 21 16:09:16 seems like that will make it real nice for people to quick try stuff out Feb 21 16:09:17 mostly… some of it was original. Feb 21 16:09:41 like the beagle? :) Feb 21 16:09:57 With that display being $10 from adafruit it make things real convenient Feb 21 16:10:45 yeah Feb 21 16:10:46 koen: jkridner___: you must have read our minds? Feb 21 16:10:54 I just made a similar change here to get PRU working Feb 21 16:11:07 well SilicaGel and I are working on PRU Feb 21 16:12:02 except that I don't know what UIO_PDRV is... Feb 21 16:13:07 hmm so far we aren't using those, I wonder if we need them Feb 21 16:14:38 jwinnebeck: it's the userspace IO driver for PRU Feb 21 16:14:52 Yeah we are playing right now with uio_pruss Feb 21 16:14:52 jwinnebeck: so no need to touch the kernel for the drivers you want to implement Feb 21 16:14:58 Yep Feb 21 16:15:10 SilicaGel was reviewing the code to see what it did Feb 21 16:15:19 and trying to play by hand Feb 21 16:15:30 So I should probably unpatch my kernel now :) Feb 21 16:15:49 I just built it with uio as module. But you enabled PDRV and PDRV_GENIRQ, do we need those? Feb 21 16:16:00 I see just pruss is a module, the other 3 compiled in Feb 21 16:16:50 We have only tried mmap so far, not read for irqs, but I didn't get any suspicion that irqs wouldn't work yet... or "events" actually Feb 21 16:17:26 apparently whatever driver is there now leaves the PRUs in some kind of reset state Feb 21 16:17:41 some differences as compared to TI SDK kernel Feb 21 16:18:07 kkeller, I've got that st7565 one, http://www.adafruit.com/products/438. Just started looking at consolidating that and my st7586 work together Feb 21 16:18:55 your work is harder… Linux driver == work : javascript != work :) Feb 21 16:19:12 kkeller, javascript == work for me :P Feb 21 16:19:56 * koen is debating if it's beer o'clock already Feb 21 16:20:07 I need to find a way to stop laughing Feb 21 16:20:13 pray tell Feb 21 16:20:20 I think I'm moving to xM with some level shifting so I can use a mainline kernel, I don't like having this stuff moulder around in the am335x forks Feb 21 16:20:30 mdp: :) Feb 21 16:21:54 koen: kein bier vor vier! Feb 21 16:22:24 in short: vier bier! Feb 21 16:34:53 koen: is anyone working on upstream u-boot and kernel support for beaglebone? Feb 21 16:35:11 u-boot -> mdp Feb 21 16:35:18 kernel upstream -> vaibhav H Feb 21 16:35:46 mlo -> ? Feb 21 16:36:02 mlo is in uboot nowadays Feb 21 16:36:08 koen: thanks Feb 21 16:36:42 s/mdp/tartarus/ Feb 21 16:36:53 * Tartarus runs Feb 21 16:37:29 sakoman__: Very basics are in (uart, mmc) Feb 21 16:42:06 koen: does usb work at all one bone? Feb 21 16:42:50 av500: depends on who you ask Feb 21 16:43:02 I lean towards "not really" Feb 21 16:43:35 koen: what is CONFIG_UIO_PDRV ? Feb 21 16:43:49 Platform Driver? is that PRUSS specific? Feb 21 16:43:52 SilicaGel: I have no idea, it looked important Feb 21 16:44:01 haha Feb 21 16:44:08 but this is your commit isn't it? Feb 21 16:44:11 av500: but some might say its "production quality" Feb 21 16:44:31 SilicaGel: yes, but not everything I do is well thought out Feb 21 16:44:44 Then you and I will be good friends Feb 21 16:44:49 Barely a nything I do is well thought out! Feb 21 16:44:51 :) Feb 21 16:45:07 * av500 is already friends with koen, guess why Feb 21 16:45:14 So you wrote a patch that just allows this thing to be buitl as default Feb 21 16:45:18 that's good Feb 21 16:45:33 I'm at a loss right now though to figure out with the current uio_pruss how the hell the PRUSS ever gets taken out of reset Feb 21 16:45:52 beacuse with 3.2 it appears, to me, that it is **NOT** taken out of reset. Feb 21 16:47:10 well, I suspect the pru stuff isn't 100% finished in that 3.2 kernel Feb 21 16:47:16 you know what though? Feb 21 16:47:19 it's pretty damned close! Feb 21 16:47:55 I've tried to figure out where the kernel source comes from by tracing all of the .bb files through their includes, but still BB is more magic than substance to me yet... Feb 21 16:48:23 it doesn't help that I'm a git noob and I've not yet found an equivalent to "svn info" for git Feb 21 16:48:41 since I did the fetch and I have the source code on my disk Feb 21 16:50:23 jwinnebeck: git remote show ? Feb 21 16:50:48 that just tells me the branch I'm on ? Feb 21 16:50:59 git status / git describe Feb 21 16:51:32 I did try git status it doesn't tell you it just says what your chagnes are Feb 21 16:51:58 oh well Feb 21 16:53:11 ? Feb 21 16:53:43 koen Feb 21 16:53:47 i figured out what they are Feb 21 16:54:02 koen I really suggest you set CONFIG_UIO_PDRV and CONFIG_UIO_PDRV_GENIRQ to m Feb 21 16:54:07 well git describe gives me a fatal error, I man'd it and tried git describe -all and it just gives me the branch again Feb 21 16:54:14 I was expecting something to give me a URL Feb 21 16:54:23 git config -l Feb 21 16:54:36 It's not the memory utilization, but I'd rather then not even register as UIO devices unless the end user really WANTS them to be there. So I'd treat them just like you are treating UIO_PRUSS: make them modules, user inserts them if they wish, otherwise they aren't there. Feb 21 16:54:38 koen: fair? Feb 21 16:54:41 ok thanks that gets me what I want Feb 21 16:55:15 thanks av500 Feb 21 16:55:22 maybe you meant git remote -v Feb 21 16:55:50 Yes that is a better/more concise form although git config -l has the same info although more verbose Feb 21 16:56:04 less .git/config :) Feb 21 16:56:27 Actually I was poking around in .git to see if I could hack it when you told me that Feb 21 16:57:32 I really need to just sit down and do a whole git tutorial Feb 21 16:57:41 esp if we need to make mods soon, hopefully not Feb 21 16:57:46 SilicaGel: sounds fair, I'll change it tomorrow Feb 21 16:57:58 jwinnebeck: but you are never on any remote branch, that just shows which remote branches are known Feb 21 16:57:58 How will you remember? :) Feb 21 16:58:37 aholler: but doesn't git fetch changes from the remote branch? If I understand git properly, my "checkout" is actually a git repository, and it's "mirroring" the remote? Feb 21 16:58:49 jwinnebeck: just use gitk --all ;) Feb 21 16:59:02 no gitk I'm on headless system :) Feb 21 16:59:20 So in other words that git url in the remote -v fetch is where I"m downloading changesets from Feb 21 17:01:16 jwinnebeck: yes Feb 21 17:02:42 I'm usually using git remote update, that fetches from all remotes Feb 21 17:05:57 How does the DDR ram hook to L3? Is there some module that does that? Feb 21 17:06:25 koen, *whew*, thanks for fixing that typo Feb 21 17:13:22 I'm a little confused with a serial LCD. Can I plug RS/RW/E/D0-7 to any GPIO port ? Feb 21 17:14:05 8 data lines is serial? Feb 21 17:14:23 we used to call that parallel back in the day Feb 21 17:15:12 sorry, typed hd44780 at first and then erased the line and wrote without thinking Feb 21 17:17:52 bla_: puttinh D0-D7 to 8 consecutive GPIOs might make sense, no? Feb 21 17:19:58 for extra credit, it would be fun to interface to gpmc Feb 21 17:20:06 av500: that's what I wanted to have confirmation on. The hw is usually OK but I have no idea how the sw is going to fare since i'm not in real-time here. Feb 21 17:20:27 * av500 is amused to hear hd44780 and real time :) Feb 21 17:20:35 is DDRAM hookd up through the OCMC ? Feb 21 17:21:05 mdp: can one make an ISA bus on GPMC? Feb 21 17:21:20 av500: don't I need to give the instructions in preciase timings ? Feb 21 17:21:58 I doubt that for a hd44780 Feb 21 17:23:09 av500, depends on how much extra credit you want…first one to interface a superio gets a gold star Feb 21 17:23:24 ah great then, thanks Feb 21 17:24:06 mdp: 1st one to interface a Cowox sound card :) Feb 21 17:24:55 I would love to use my GUS on beaglebone Feb 21 17:25:16 mdp: ISA port project it is then! Feb 21 17:25:19 I wish the community would help me with this Feb 21 17:25:58 mdp: let's have TI order one Feb 21 17:26:10 mdp: you can always ask on e2e forum Feb 21 17:26:14 lol Feb 21 17:26:33 I'll post as Boris Houndleroy Feb 21 17:26:40 rofl Feb 21 17:26:44 mdp: no, dont mention beagle! Feb 21 17:26:56 say you have an DM6441 EVM Feb 21 17:27:00 "I'm trying to interface my Gravis Ultrasound to BeagleBone, do you have any reference code?" Feb 21 17:27:21 "anticipated volume sales is 500k/month" Feb 21 17:27:39 mdp: add "please send me the codez and explain it step by step" Feb 21 17:27:47 lol..codez Feb 21 17:27:53 "the *exact* steps" Feb 21 17:28:21 it's ok though, the magic ignore words are no longer Beagle* cause we officially support xM rev foo and Bone Feb 21 17:28:30 wow Feb 21 17:28:51 the telltale sign is an EZSDK d/l for both of those Feb 21 17:29:00 shhhh Feb 21 17:29:02 lol ..EZ Feb 21 17:29:14 let's keep the sekrit to this small number of people here Feb 21 17:29:59 :) you know that everything is loged right :P Feb 21 17:30:53 what?!?? :) Feb 21 17:31:24 maybe it'S lodged Feb 21 17:32:12 it's lodged into the cracks on the channel Feb 21 17:33:00 that adafruit dot matrix display Feb 21 17:33:04 that's pretty cool for the price. Feb 21 17:33:15 what is it in $/dot? Feb 21 17:33:26 I will say that a GUS running on Bone will immortalize one for the obligatory 1.5 seconds on hackaday Feb 21 17:34:04 SilicaGel: the 7564 one? Feb 21 17:34:27 7565 yeah Feb 21 17:34:36 it's just one of those densitron style dot matrix displays Feb 21 17:34:43 but with RGB backlighting, and at a decent price Feb 21 17:38:27 * av500 likes this one: https://www.adafruit.com/products/661 Feb 21 17:43:11 that one does look interesting Feb 21 17:43:54 Yes! Feb 21 17:43:59 why is it on such a huge friggin board though! Feb 21 17:44:00 WTH! Feb 21 17:44:24 you jerk, why di dyou show me that, now I have to buy one Feb 21 17:44:48 buy two and mount inside your glasses Feb 21 17:44:53 haha listen to me bitching about how "huge" it is ... it's the size of a quarter Feb 21 17:46:29 i wonder if she sells just the display, not on the board Feb 21 17:46:45 Lady Ada? Feb 21 17:46:50 ya Feb 21 17:46:52 the one and only Feb 21 17:46:58 ask her Feb 21 17:47:04 she does for the st7735 display Feb 21 17:47:22 I think it's an on demand type thing as av500 implies Feb 21 17:47:59 SilicaGel: you just need to be prepared to handle an FPC Feb 21 17:48:21 does that need to be hot bar soldered or is on a connector Feb 21 17:48:56 I see it. It's hot bar soldered. Her little board it looks like it was not though. Feb 21 17:49:24 that's how she makes the breakout board cheap Feb 21 17:49:40 modular production boards go with the expense of the connector Feb 21 17:49:54 cost++ Feb 21 17:50:28 I don't like the use of crappy old cmos parts like the CD4050 on that. Feb 21 17:51:28 well can I buy an SSD1306 somewhere directly? Feb 21 17:52:19 the 1306 is inside the oled module, no? Feb 21 17:52:24 not on the pcb Feb 21 17:52:30 oh yeah Feb 21 17:52:33 well the display module i mean Feb 21 17:52:56 I've been looking for a tiny litle oled module like that Feb 21 17:53:05 I have a T.I. Stellaris SDK bot and it has one of those Feb 21 17:53:52 10k hours Feb 21 17:53:53 poo Feb 21 18:05:32 https://picasaweb.google.com/108380917869049424169/MiscellaneousJunk#5711651424524381762 Feb 21 18:05:40 that's the little oled display on my stellaris robot Feb 21 18:05:45 it's friggin tiny Feb 21 18:05:51 different one Feb 21 18:06:02 yeah Feb 21 18:06:05 what I like on the above one is that I can get 20x4 chars on it Feb 21 18:06:09 but I couldn't figure out where the hell to buy one Feb 21 18:10:09 guys anyone tried java + comport on beagle? it works with my usb to serial converter but not with the ttyO2, which i realeased from the console on the uEnv.txt Feb 21 18:10:15 i also renamed /etc/init/ttyO2.conf and run the script /boot/uboot/tools/update_boot_files.sh but still no luck my java prog cant find the ttyO2 Feb 21 18:11:21 tomo11, Can you do it from the shell? Feb 21 18:11:49 you also need to disable the getty on the ttyO2 Feb 21 18:11:54 not just kernel console Feb 21 18:12:34 hmm ok i will look into it thanks Feb 21 18:39:44
