**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 18 02:59:58 2016 Apr 18 03:53:00 where do you guys think I should write about my pepecoin and dogecoin on my resume? **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 18 11:00:55 2016 Apr 18 11:06:54 hello everyone Apr 18 13:18:01 hello Apr 18 13:46:33 italiani=? Apr 18 13:48:44 http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Apr 18 14:15:10 Hi there, I have been working with Qt on the BeagleBoard. Now I would like to cross compile Qt with Qt Quick support. Does anybody here have experience with cross compiling Qt for the BBB on a Debian host? Apr 18 15:47:49 hello all. can you point me to some documentation where it's explained the difference between image snapshots "lxqt-4gb", "iot" and "console"? thank you in advance Apr 18 15:51:01 alfatau: lxqt-4gb is an image with a graphical desktop that requires at least 4GB, if you flash to the eMMC, then it will only work on RevC Apr 18 15:51:39 iot is all the same packages as the lxqt image, but with all graphical apps and environment removed Apr 18 15:51:53 console is a barebones image to build up from Apr 18 15:52:24 tbr: thank you. I've BBB revC. What do you mean for "barebones image" ? Apr 18 15:53:43 "it boots", not much else Apr 18 15:54:35 it's comparable to when you select nothing in the debian installer except ssh and the 'base packages' Apr 18 15:58:00 tbr: ok, so thank you very much Apr 18 17:14:07 hi, I have some problems with setting up NFS boot on BBB Apr 18 17:14:20 my cmd line: Kernel command line: console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.111.1:/srv/bbb,nolock rw ip=dhcp Apr 18 17:16:20 here is failure on console: Apr 18 17:16:22 http://pastebin.com/raw/K9gyPCi5 Apr 18 17:18:29 all kernel config was done according to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt Apr 18 17:19:06 I am able to mount this export on another computer using "sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.111.1:/srv/bbb /mnt/" Apr 18 17:24:18 is there something unusual to be done on the server side? Apr 18 17:24:52 i have such export: /srv/bbb 192.168.111.0/24(rw,insecure,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,no_all_squash) Apr 18 17:27:44 should rootpath in NFS prints represent nfs export on server? Apr 18 17:27:58 because in my logs it is rootpath= Apr 18 18:01:26 it turned out adding vers=3 to nfs options solved the problem Apr 18 19:16:54 does anyone know how to get a PyDev project to run on a Beaglebone Black? I have built a program in eclipse with PyDev, and moved that over to the BBB, and it will not run Apr 18 19:17:09 I am using the Qt5 framework Apr 18 19:17:28 which I can not seem to find how to install that on the BBB Apr 18 19:21:10 I get an error that says"ImportError: No module named PyQt5" Apr 18 22:43:15 Hello... Apr 18 23:35:46 Hello... Apr 18 23:35:59 Does Xbee work with the BBB? Apr 18 23:36:54 I have a grove Cape for the BBB and the Xbee grove adapter. I could probably get these to work, right? Apr 19 00:01:04 One way or the other, sure. Both are 3v3. Haven't done it, can't say how it would work. Apr 19 00:48:18 Thank you, Ragnorok. Apr 19 00:48:24 I am learning slowly. Apr 19 00:51:18 These little, wireless modules are alright. I see where they work with Rasp. Pi but not BBB. I will have to keep searching. Apr 19 00:52:33 Sadly I've never used one with either. I have serial XBee and use them with Arduino; if they work on that I can't imagine why a BBB would fail. Just a matter of how much hoop-jumping it takes, and I don't know that, sadly. Apr 19 00:55:26 It is okay. There seems to be a simple explanation. I just have to find it. Apr 19 00:56:06 Like...I have to get the Pi and find the schematics on it. Use the schematics to transfer the info. of pins to the BBB for use. Apr 19 00:56:56 i.e. Pi Pin 1 = Tx and Pin 2 = Rx and etc... Then, I would have to find my Tx and Rx pins on my bbb. Apr 19 00:58:44 Have you used the chat option on the Xbees to make them communicate? Apr 19 00:59:40 i.e. two or more? Apr 19 01:01:57 I started to use XCTU. It is Digi's radio tool. Apr 19 01:02:42 I am hoping to connect soon. I am getting bugs in their system for making my radios communicate (chat). Apr 19 01:25:50 blah... sound on the bone is such a mess Apr 19 01:29:31 I know. Apr 19 01:29:47 I could not get ALSA to work for me correctly. Boo! Apr 19 01:34:01 there are a lot of hard coded magic incantions Apr 19 01:35:23 See...I have not an idea of what you just said. Therefore, I am behind the times. Apr 19 01:35:53 :) Apr 19 01:35:58 Yup... Apr 19 01:36:08 what do you need to do? Apr 19 01:36:08 I am not a wiz. Apr 19 01:36:46 I was trying to make my bot understand commands and playback certain noises or words to compliment my commands. Apr 19 01:37:08 what is the HW u using? Apr 19 01:37:13 BBB. Apr 19 01:37:18 for audio Apr 19 01:37:25 and some usb audio. Apr 19 01:37:40 USB should just work since it doesn't use the BB code path Apr 19 01:38:02 I would have thought so...it does not. I even followed along in the book. Dang books. Apr 19 01:38:22 Luckily, there is an updated version of the book. I am going to try again soon. Apr 19 01:38:35 does it work with aplay? Apr 19 01:38:39 No. Apr 19 01:38:42 also what recogonizer are you using? Apr 19 01:38:47 do aplay -L to see if you can see your card Apr 19 01:38:50 if not, you have a USB issue Apr 19 01:39:18 I had to buy another usb dongle for sound. I have not tried it out yet. Apr 19 01:39:32 I erased all my code and files. Apr 19 01:39:38 I have to start from scratch. Apr 19 01:39:55 what recogonizer are you planning to use? Apr 19 01:40:22 Um...I do not know what a recognizer is. Apr 19 01:40:58 are you using sphinx, google, Siri, Alexa, etc for the audio processing Apr 19 01:41:03 sphinx Apr 19 01:41:15 that should be straight forward Apr 19 01:41:22 didn't we talk before? Apr 19 01:41:38 I know. This is why my brain went into blast mode for two weeks. I quit for a bit. Apr 19 01:41:41 And yes...we talked. Apr 19 01:41:50 Sorry. Apr 19 01:42:09 I moved on for a bit. Apr 19 01:42:28 sometimes a break helps Apr 19 01:42:34 Yup... Apr 19 01:42:47 I suspect you have a USB issue, not an audio issue if aplay -L doesn't see it Apr 19 01:43:11 Okay. I have had trouble with that 2gb USB on the BBB before. Apr 19 01:43:19 Adding keyboard or mouse.. Apr 19 01:43:52 Luckily, I got one of the updated versions. Apr 19 01:44:09 The old, 2GB works but not as well as I would want. Apr 19 01:44:41 they should all be pretty much the same Apr 19 01:45:05 I could make a keyboard-mouse combo. work but adding a usb hub and adding a mouse and keyboard did not work. Apr 19 01:45:17 is the USB hub self powered? Apr 19 01:45:20 Yes. Apr 19 01:45:39 *shrug* never had a need/desire for a K/M on a BB Apr 19 01:45:49 I got the keyboard-mouse combo. now. Apr 19 01:46:06 I was going to add it because I wanted to try it out. Apr 19 01:46:18 i.e. to see the BBB logo on GUI. Apr 19 01:47:01 Do you use Grove applications at all? Apr 19 01:47:14 as in the sensors from seeed? Apr 19 01:47:17 yes. Apr 19 01:47:34 not really... easier to wire my own I2C Apr 19 01:47:45 Oh. Apr 19 01:47:45 no reason to pay someone else $$ to do it if I can do it better myself Apr 19 01:48:03 You are right. I got lazy and thought. Dang. Apr 19 01:48:22 HW design is relaxing Apr 19 01:48:38 less lunatics runnng around with the concept of the day doing stuff Apr 19 01:48:46 Not for me. I get all bent and exhausted. Some people have a great knack for stuff like that. Apr 19 01:48:49 Yep. Apr 19 01:49:03 I know about ideas. Apr 19 01:49:39 Why, I ask myself. Why does this work and this does not work? Apr 19 01:50:01 that's why having a understanding of the theory helps Apr 19 01:50:22 For example...I set up a bunch of software to show a webpage for when doors open. Apr 19 01:51:05 I set up the one wire and it worked half way wrong but still gave me the intitial e-mail but the webpage did not exist. Apr 19 01:51:49 Theory on these subjects would help greatly. Apr 19 01:52:11 Do you recommend any books? Apr 19 01:52:51 guys whats linux? Apr 19 01:53:19 Linux? It is a thing. Apr 19 01:53:29 A thing that can help you learn about a ton of stuff. Apr 19 01:53:36 do you think their better than Dell? Apr 19 01:53:39 theyre* Apr 19 01:53:45 OS? Apr 19 01:54:05 Linux is a file tree with a bunch of ways to use it. Apr 19 01:54:35 for a simple web app that you can play with, you can try my book Apr 19 01:54:50 Dude, you got a book? Apr 19 01:54:51 modify the result of the exercises Apr 19 01:55:09 (Excerise is to flash an LED using simple shell script.) Apr 19 01:55:13 *nod* Apr 19 01:55:17 Yea boy! Apr 19 01:55:20 That is cool. Apr 19 01:55:23 Books rule. Apr 19 01:55:25 stop i thought linux was a computer thing i didn't know about this tree stuff Apr 19 01:55:42 Okay, I might own your book already. Apr 19 01:55:46 there are different approaches; I focus on the non Java folks Apr 19 01:56:00 uh oh... unhappy reader :( Apr 19 01:56:10 * ds2 disappears Apr 19 01:56:11 I have a couple. Augh...that is perfect b/c I am using XBee now, too. Apr 19 01:56:47 Come back...let me know more. Apr 19 01:56:53 wow you guys catch on quick Apr 19 01:57:07 i went into ##math and asked them how they know that adding is really adding and they argued for an hour Apr 19 01:57:18 if there are problems, do let me know Apr 19 01:57:24 Cool! Apr 19 01:57:40 I test out a ton of code from a lot of sources. Apr 19 01:57:54 I will read and get back with you. Apr 19 01:58:05 k Apr 19 01:58:46 Wait...are you wanting me to test out your book on Java b/c you need feedback? Apr 19 01:58:51 no Apr 19 01:58:52 B/c if so, I can do that. Apr 19 01:58:56 Oh. Apr 19 01:59:04 my book is for the NON java folks Apr 19 01:59:06 :D Apr 19 01:59:21 Oh...you use Python or ______? Apr 19 01:59:26 plain shell Apr 19 01:59:29 Augh. Apr 19 01:59:31 Okay. Apr 19 01:59:39 I have an entire book on shell scripting. Apr 19 01:59:49 Hold on...I will get the name. Apr 19 02:00:08 if you are used to non OO, shell is easier then python Apr 19 02:00:21 Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible. Apr 19 02:00:25 Ha. Apr 19 02:00:57 I suspect that throws everythingat you at once Apr 19 02:01:17 Sort of...it is a very long book. Apr 19 02:01:24 I have not completed it yet. Apr 19 02:01:56 I am on, "UNIX Style Parameters," now. Apr 19 02:02:22 don't just read stuff; apply it as you go along Apr 19 02:02:28 less boring that way Apr 19 02:02:35 That is smart. Apr 19 02:02:45 I do that...I apply while learning. Apr 19 02:03:40 Well...I am on break for now. I will check back in a sec. or two. Apr 19 02:04:01 ds2: If you need anything, just post and I will be back soon. Apr 19 02:04:06 time for me to go home Apr 19 02:04:14 Okey. Apr 19 02:04:18 See you later man. Apr 19 02:31:35 What a book? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Apr 19 02:59:59 2016
