**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 25 02:59:57 2008 Aug 25 08:29:12 Hello all sluggers! Does anyone here know if it's possible to get a java jre 1.5/1.6 on the slug? Aug 25 09:33:24 Anyone here? Does anyone know if libmagic is available through ipkg? Aug 25 09:36:36 doesnt seem to be listed Aug 25 09:36:39 under that name at least Aug 25 09:36:45 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/ Aug 25 09:37:23 Ah, thanks! Hmm, that's too bad. I seem to need it to get jamvm to work with sockets. Aug 25 09:39:46 hmm Aug 25 09:39:49 Has anyone been able to get jamvm to work with sockets? I found this discussion, but it seems to suggest that libmagic is needed: http://www.nabble.com/UnsatisfiedLinkError:-Native-library-%60javanet%27-not-found-td16796483.html Aug 25 09:39:50 debian list it for arm Aug 25 09:42:06 Ah, thanks. Debian is probably too advanced for me on the slug yet, though. Do you know if there's another jvm that works on the slug that's v1.5 or higher? Aug 25 09:42:32 I suspect, it might be fairly easily addable to the optware feeds... But dont quote me on it or anything Aug 25 09:43:44 Who do I contact about adding it to the optware feeds? Aug 25 09:56:20 Yay, I found it! libmagic is part of the file package, so ipkg install file should solve it. Here's where I found it, if anyone needs it sometime: http://blog.weefeel.net/?p=11 Aug 25 09:57:31 ah :) Aug 25 09:57:56 that'd expain why the wikipedia article links back to something about file Aug 25 10:02:40 I added the info on the wiki, under http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseJavaOnTheSlug Aug 25 10:05:39 If you want to try the little game I was trying to run, it's at adastra.jordefamn.se/flash Aug 25 10:05:54 Sorry, http://adastra.jordefamn.se/flash/ Aug 25 21:18:23 Hello. Is anyone else having trouble with the optware feed? ipkg-opt is giving 404 errors trying to get Packages.gz Aug 25 21:19:29 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/ Aug 25 21:19:31 seems fine Aug 25 21:20:11 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/slugosle/native/unstable/Packages.gz Aug 25 21:20:20 That's what my slug is trying to access. It worked before. Aug 25 21:20:36 seems "native" has gone away and there is only "cross" at optware/slugosle/ Aug 25 21:21:49 oh, I see that it's not necessarily required to be there. Perhaps this error has always existed but it's benign Aug 25 21:22:28 probably just the specific sources its looking at Aug 25 21:24:00 I think the native feeds may be gone. We certainly don't want them; they existed only because there were certain applications that could not be cross-compiled. Aug 25 21:25:44 probably just remove that from your sources.list Aug 25 21:25:48 .lst Aug 25 21:25:50 whichever Aug 25 21:32:48 Great. Next issue -- Aug 25 21:33:28 I'm trying to use my slug as a music server, but it appears that my C-media usb headset keeps going into powersave mode, after which it is not recognized by the slug anymore. Requires unplugging/replugging (or a reboot) Aug 25 21:35:33 I'm using SlugOS 4.8beta, which is a 2.6.21 kernel. It does not appear that USB power management is in this kernel, so I'm unable to do what google suggests: echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend Aug 25 21:36:03 does anyone know of a way I can tell the slug not to cut power to my usb audio device? Aug 25 21:36:20 or perhaps equivalently, if I can instruct the usb device not to go into standby. Aug 25 21:37:15 The slug is not technically able to "cut the power" to the USB. Aug 25 21:37:26 USB power is wired directly to the +5V rail. Aug 25 21:37:42 especially on the port I soldered in. Aug 25 21:37:52 So you'll have to figure out how to tell the device how to NOT go to sleep. Aug 25 21:40:23 hmm. Aug 25 21:41:01 I really don't wanna hack a cron job to send lots of "play silence" commands Aug 25 21:44:29 And the alternative is what? Hack a driver? Aug 25 21:59:55 No, I'm hoping for some secret module config option or sysfs flag Aug 25 22:00:30 or, frankly, a newer kernel Aug 25 22:00:58 but since I can't build one myself I guess i'll be waiting awhile for that :) at least until slugOS/le 4.9 binaries are available Aug 25 22:01:53 ` Aug 25 22:06:47 Well, dunno about any secrets, but hopefully an image with a newer kernel will be available at some point. Aug 25 22:09:37 * robotparty nods Aug 25 22:10:06 Thanks for the tips. I might try blowing another $6 on a different cheapie usb audio gizmo **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Aug 26 02:59:57 2008
