Sep 09 15:54:38 <Tiibiidii> some days ago i sent the second mail (this time through the web form) to globalscale for a warranty return of my sheevaplug
Sep 09 15:54:46 <Tiibiidii> but they still haven't replyed yet
Sep 09 15:55:37 <Tiibiidii> i'm starting to feel discouraged
Sep 09 15:56:07 <Tiibiidii> do you guys have any suggestion?
Sep 09 16:04:00 <tinker-f595> phone them
Sep 09 16:04:49 <tinker-f595> Tiibiidii: phone then
Sep 09 16:05:38 <Tiibiidii> <tinker-f595> Tiibiidii: phone then <-- uh, are you sure?
Sep 09 16:05:50 <tinker-f595> why not?
Sep 09 16:05:51 <Tiibiidii> i mean... if you think this helps i'll do it
Sep 09 16:05:57 <Tiibiidii> i'm not english mothertongue
Sep 09 16:06:15 <Tiibiidii> so i prefer by far to having a written communication rather than by voice
Sep 09 16:06:34 <tinker-f595> so think carefully what you want to say first
Sep 09 16:06:40 <Tiibiidii> mhn yeah
Sep 09 16:06:48 <tinker-f595> so what is wrong with your plug?
Sep 09 16:07:11 <Tiibiidii> the usb vbus
Sep 09 16:07:37 <Tiibiidii> (i recall your nick... maybe you were one of those who helped me diagnose that?)
Sep 09 16:08:02 <Tiibiidii> in practice: every device i plug into the sheevaplug usb doesn't work
Sep 09 16:08:18 <Tiibiidii> what timezone are at globalscale?
Sep 09 16:08:33 <Tiibiidii> is it good if i call them now?
Sep 09 16:10:09 <Tiibiidii> uhm, 9 AM right now in california, should be fine
Sep 09 16:11:04 <Tiibiidii> what do you suggest to use for an international call?
Sep 09 16:11:21 <Tiibiidii> i don't know pricing for my telephone company
Sep 09 16:11:26 <Tiibiidii> maybe skype?
Sep 09 16:11:56 <Tiibiidii> (i already have an account setup, i wonder if i can add only the money i need, rather than a prefixed amount)
Sep 09 16:12:12 <tinker-f595> it is 9:12 AM now
Sep 09 16:12:50 <tinker-f595> well if skype will allow you to call there landline then use that
Sep 09 16:13:04 <tinker-f595> if it is cheap
Sep 09 16:16:25 <rektide> i thought gigabit didnt require crossover cables. :(
Sep 09 16:16:27 <Tiibiidii> never used it for that.... but should be cheaper
Sep 09 16:16:37 <rektide> i'm trying to plug my laptop into my openrd sans router. :/
Sep 09 16:22:26 <rektide> must be something un-finished with the egiga driver. :(
Sep 09 16:30:29 <eFfeM> Tiibiidii: if you want to do regular calls international or so, use voip e.g. with voipcheap.com
Sep 09 16:30:51 <eFfeM> there is a whole family of those providers,see backsla.sh/betamax
Sep 09 16:31:25 <eFfeM> http://backsla.sh/betamax
Sep 09 16:31:40 <Tiibiidii> eFfeM, is it sip?
Sep 09 16:31:48 <Tiibiidii> i know there are other services
Sep 09 16:31:54 <eFfeM> find the one that serves you best, i think the first few calls are free
Sep 09 16:31:54 <Tiibiidii> (in fact i hate skype)
Sep 09 16:31:58 <eFfeM> this is sip
Sep 09 16:32:18 <Tiibiidii> but i already have an account with skype, and it's only for this call...
Sep 09 16:32:27 <eFfeM> you can use a client on your pc, or a sip phone or an adapter like a fritz!box
Sep 09 16:32:36 <eFfeM> ah then better use skype
Sep 09 16:32:41 <Tiibiidii> actually now i'm trying to make the microphone with skype
Sep 09 16:33:00 <Tiibiidii> if i record my voice is loud and clear... but if i call echo123 my voice i sooo low
Sep 09 16:33:04 <eFfeM> actually guess it might be possible to put sip sw on the sheeva and use that
Sep 09 16:33:32 <eFfeM> Tiibiidii: probably a bandwidth or bitrate issue
Sep 09 16:33:44 <Tiibiidii> naaa... i'm not using anything
Sep 09 16:33:52 <eFfeM> seem to recall i had that, but that was long ago, not sure what i did
Sep 09 16:33:54 <Tiibiidii> bandwidth intensive i mean
Sep 09 16:35:03 <Tiibiidii> just tested my bandwidth: 2Mbps down and 270kpbs up as usual
Sep 09 16:35:40 <eFfeM> should be enough i think, not an expert
Sep 09 16:36:06 <Tiibiidii> ok, maybe i sorted it out
Sep 09 16:36:24 <eFfeM> good luck!
Sep 09 16:36:34 <Tiibiidii> (there are a thousand sliders inside the gnome-volume-manager... and some of them reset themselves to half-way)
Sep 09 18:10:27 <tinker-f595> Tiibiidii: any luck with getting your call through to GlobalScale?
Sep 09 18:11:47 <Tiibiidii> not yet, i struggled with the audio, then i have to check how the skype payment works, then i have dinner, then i'll go out to the local lug's meeting... i'll call them when i'll be back (circa 23.30 local time)
Sep 09 18:33:57 <tinker-f595> haha
Sep 09 21:11:27 <MarkG> Hi Anyone run a IMAP server on their Sheevaplug?  I want to collect my mail from my ISP and store in on my Sheevaplug server view viewing from my various Opera installs on my LAN
Sep 09 21:12:29 * ShadowJK runs that but not on sheeva
Sep 09 21:13:44 <MarkG> may I ask what package you use?  There is so much choice, it's hard to decide, everytime I google, I get different recommentations
Sep 09 21:15:47 <ShadowJK> fetchmail and procmail for getting mail and delivering it into a maildir
Sep 09 21:15:59 <ShadowJK> dovecot for serving it out over imaps
Sep 09 21:19:58 <Md> MarkG: dovecot, no contest
Sep 09 21:23:03 <MarkG> I looked at dovecot, but it looked like it was not in ARM repo
Sep 09 21:25:19 <MarkG> What does this mean in English:  Package dovecot is not available, but is referred to by another package.
Sep 09 21:25:19 <MarkG> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
Sep 09 21:25:19 <MarkG> is only available from another source
Sep 09 21:25:19 <MarkG> However the following packages replace it:
Sep 09 21:25:19 <MarkG>   dovecot-common
Sep 09 21:25:20 <MarkG> E: Package dovecot has no installation candidate
Sep 09 21:25:41 <MarkG> (sorry for the flood)
Sep 09 21:28:05 <ShadowJK> dovecot-common and dovecot-imapd probably
Sep 09 22:06:49 <rektide> apt-cache search dovecot is your friend
Sep 09 22:06:52 <rektide> MarkG:
