00:18.15CodeWhackerhotplug doesn't pick it up, but I don't know how well that's been worked out yet
00:19.19CodeWhackeroh, good... oemake is updating uclibc
00:19.59CodeWhackerhope this turns out better than what emerge world did to hotplug this morning
00:20.00rwhitbyCodeWhacker: that should work with both the nslu2-linksys and nslu2-openslug kernels, right?
00:20.18CodeWhackeropenslug is a 2.6, yes?
00:20.22rwhitbyyes
00:20.38CodeWhackerso far, no.  I tried briefly last night and there were issues
00:20.49rwhitbySo nslu2-linksys only at the moment?
00:21.41CodeWhackeryep.  that aforementioned uclibc build is to test that I have mii.o getting included.  If it works, then nslu2-linksys is a go for usb net.
00:21.57rwhitbyexcellent!
00:22.34CodeWhackerbut someone will need to look at why hotplug doesn't modprobe on insert

00:24.47CodeWhackerrwhitby: openslug may not be far... when I tried it last, I got tons of depmod errors on the build box.  That could have been the modutils bug I caught tonight.

00:30.49rwhitby-awayHi Jim!
00:31.21[g2]back
00:31.37jimbuzbeeHi Rod!
00:32.12rwhitbyjim: are you going to jump on the OE bandwagon?
00:33.32CodeWhacker:)
00:33.38jimbuzbeeIt's where I'd like to go, but I'm continuously running behind you guys.  I'm working on my Unslung article now, so I can't be trying out OE yet
00:34.12rwhitbyok - you know that Unslung 2.0 will be based on OE right, but that probably won't be till well after your Unslung 1.x article goes out :-)
00:34.47jimbuzbeeThat's what I gather - and it sounds good.  I'm really ready to try out some new USB gadgets
00:34.47rwhitby[unless someone else has more time to work on the e2tools package in OE than I do]
00:35.44Squidrwhitby:  How will Unslung being based on OE affect the packages that we've converted?  Will it make the work pointless (i.e. should people even bother cross-compiling and converting more packages)?
00:37.05rwhitbyit should be a smooth process to convert a package to OE.  Most of the work is in working out how to get it to cross compile, not how to put that in an Unslung Makefile or an OE .oe file
00:37.17Squidk
00:37.26kergothwell, oe already has most of what you guys have spent all this time on
00:37.37kergothfor the things that arent added, yes, it should be painless to get them in
00:37.44rwhitbykergoth: yeah, but it's a learning exercise too
00:37.52rwhitbyget people in the cross compile mindset
00:37.58SquidWell, I've learned several times :P
00:38.09kergothi'm planning on writing a top 10 buildsystem screwups page
00:38.20rwhitbywill we feature?
00:38.22SquidI can certainly contribute to that
00:38.23kergothas guidance for developers who are having to do build work (interacting with auto*)
00:38.38kergoth10 wont be enough, actually
00:38.39kergothcloser to 25
00:38.42tking-laptopouch
00:38.55rwhitby[we, being the Unslung 1.x build system :-)]
00:39.00tking-laptopdoes oe currently have a wiki?
00:39.04kergoth..
00:39.08kergothopenembedded.org is one big wiki
00:39.14Squidso basically, it's probably pointless to convert more packages if we (each of us individually) has converted a few?
00:39.19tking-laptopokay lemme go look there.
00:39.38SquidI'd imagine OE probably has a ton of packages already converted
00:40.16rwhitbySquid: depends, if you can help get Unslung into OE, then that would be effort better spent.  But if you're not able to assist in that, then porting more packages (especially ones that are not in OE, like mt-daapd) is worthwhile.
00:40.36tking-laptopI'm moving from PhpWiki to PmWiki on my site...much better features.
00:40.50rwhitbyreally?
00:40.51SquidI doubt I can help with anything related to kernel stuff, if that's what's needed.  That's a whole new kettle of fish.
00:41.12rwhitbySquid: no, the big sticking point for Unslung 2.x now is just getting e2tools into OE
00:41.21Squid??e2tools
00:41.30tking-laptope2fstools?
00:41.46rwhitbyto modify the Linksys ramdisk to be an unslung ramdisk.
00:41.50Squidk
00:42.00kergothalright, i'm adding e2tools
00:42.05kergothshould be building in a few minutes, hold
00:42.07rwhitbycheck the log from last 8 hours or so - we discussed it last night.
00:42.09tking-laptopcan you mount the image via loopback?
00:42.13kergothno.
00:42.19kergothoe does not require that you be root. evfer.
00:42.21kergoths/fer/er/
00:42.30rwhitby[we ask, and kergoth delivers.  Awesome!]
00:44.13rwhitbythen we just need to replicate the patching thats done in the firmware/Makefile into an OE package to do the same thing to create the rootfs.  Then we use the existing work that kergoth did you create a flash image from that and the nslu2-linksys kernel.
00:44.13kergothrwhitby: as a lazy person, i cant stand to see people wasting time
00:44.21kergothi'd rather add it and get it in quickly so you can move on to other things
00:44.38rwhitbykergoth: that's what I've been counting on :-)
00:44.48CodeWhackercrud!  mii.o is building, there's an .ipk, it's listed along with the rest of the modules in the distro file, and it *still* won't show up in the root_fs!
00:46.51tking-laptoprwhitby: Phpwiki is pretty basic. PmWiki is much better
00:47.05kergothi agree, feature wise.
00:48.06kergothgah, somebody needs to bitchslap the e2tools maintainers for me
00:48.15kergothnevermind, i'll do it myself. more satisfying
00:53.52CodeWhackerwell, when all else fails, do a full rebuild.

03:07.28dyoung-webWe should setup a photo gallery somewhere.
03:07.36tkingwe do have it
03:07.36dyoung-webI could host it.  Yeah, thats the ticket.

03:12.15dyoung-webjbot, ubessa is a Unorthrodox But Effective Super Serial Adapter.  It refers to a UBE board using a MAX232 coupled to a 74LVC244 because somebody was too lazy to get a MAX3232.

03:31.54CodeWhackeryahoo doesn't give you much room for a caption
03:31.57TierstenFinished tidying up.  It fits into the case now :)
03:34.43TierstenCodeWhacker: Yeah.  I see what you mean
03:36.18TierstenI used a 3.5mm stereo socket for the serial port as I didn't want a plug dangling out the back.  It did mean dremeling the case though
03:37.31CodeWhackerI thought about that, but just releived the case to allow the USB serial cable's strain relief.
03:38.01TierstenI'm wondering where to put the receive only port now
03:38.10TierstenI've wired it in but I don't have a socket for it yet
03:38.47TierstenMy existing one is where it say Power which was a mistake as I forgot about the stand obscuring part of that.  Had to dremel the stand as well...
03:39.06TierstenWhere it says Ethernet is possible but it's a bit of a squeeze as there is a crystal right next to that spot
03:39.32CodeWhackerI went directly under the power socket, so didn't have to carve the stand.
03:40.10TierstenThat WAS the plan but I kinda forgot whilst I was drilling the hole :)
03:40.15CodeWhackerit'd mean a custom cable, but the center 2 pins of an RJ-45 are unused, aren't they?
03:40.37TierstenFor 10/100 yeah there are unused pins
03:41.45dyoung-plankedI think that was rwhitby's original plan (using the RJ45), but the spare pins are connected to ground or something, dont quite remember.

03:49.55tking-awayI think I might be able to get a db-25 in there
03:50.25TierstenJust.  You'll overlap slightly into the white serial/MAC area
03:50.49TierstenLuckily you just miss the serial and MAC though.  Just part of the white background
03:51.13tking-awayyes
03:52.36TierstenIf you're using a DB25 then you could just have a cable coming out with a DB25 on the end
03:53.26tking-awayyup

04:05.27TierstenThe plastic wrapped thing is a bit of veroboard with a MAX3232
04:13.59tking-awayI have a bit of 28ga ribbon cable that I think I'll use to do the connections with a IDC DB25F
04:14.33rwhitbyif you want a neat way to mount a DB25F on the case, see my WRT54G serial page.
04:14.41rwhitbyhttp://www.rwhitby.net/wrt54gs/serial.html
04:14.58rwhitbythe metal bits cover the hole quite nicely
04:20.40TierstenYou using the serial ports fro debugging or adding hardware?
04:21.42rwhitbyon the wrt54g, it's for console.  I was intending to use the second port for adding a dial-in modem, but never got around to it.

04:44.41rwhitbyyeah, wish I could find the time to do the nslu2 version properly
04:45.05tking-awayI think that mounting it in the bottom is the best place..there is room for it.
04:45.43rwhitbycan you dremel away some of the stand so that if you don't have anything plugged in, then you can still stand it upright?
04:48.05tking-awayI was thinking of that..but mostly think I'll lay it down.
04:48.46tking-awayI *could* make it fit on top although I don't like the Cyborg look.

04:57.03McTailsI wanted to help in any way I could getting OE working w/ the slug, assuming there is anything to do
04:57.03rwhitbyNot that I remember, so it can't have been too bad :-)
04:57.21McTailsand on that previous note: I'm getting a WRT54G :)
04:57.29rwhitbyok, first thing to do is install BitKeeper
04:57.35McTailsrwhitby: Got it
04:57.42rwhitbyThen clone the repository from nslu2-linux.bkbits.net
04:57.45McTailsnever used it, but I have the binary
04:58.01tkingMcTails: do you have the toolchain running on OSX?
04:58.43McTailstking: Yeah
04:58.45rwhitbyThe OpenEmbedded wiki has good instructions.  And kergoth wrote a howto for us too (it's in the wiki).  wherever it refers to openembedded.bkbits.net, replace that with nslu2-linux.bkbits.net
04:59.02McTailsOk
04:59.13McTailsKnow where I can find a general guide for BKipper ?
04:59.17McTails*keeper

04:59.28McTailsthks
04:59.31rwhitbythat's the OpenSlug howto
04:59.34kergothbitkeeper.com maybe?  rtfm
04:59.39kergothheh
04:59.49rwhitbyhttp://openembedded.org/oe_wiki/index.php/BitKeeper
04:59.58rwhitbythat's the OE Bitkeeper page
04:59.59McTailskergoth: I'm coming from a CVS/SVN SCM background, anything special I should know about BK
05:00.16rwhitbyMcTails: there's a page specially for that on bitkeeper.co
05:00.18rwhitby.com
05:00.25kergothgo read.
05:00.26McTailsrwhitby: I'm looking now
05:00.33kergothi have better things to do than hold your hand
05:00.38kergothdocumentation exists for a reason
05:00.55rwhitbyand the logs from a couple of days ago will have lots of q&a as we all learnt how to use it.
05:01.17McTailsrwhitby: I'm catching up
05:08.49McTailsrwhitby: I need to go, I'll see you later
05:26.03rwhitbyWhy don't people think to write stuff directly into the wiki, and then post a link, instead of posting a whole lot of information to the mailing list?
05:26.18rwhitbyInfo/SetLedOptions added to wiki ...
05:27.17tkingrwhitby: it keeps me busy!
05:27.17tkinghe he
05:27.18tkingI need to cull thru the list again soon...been doing other stuff here.

09:30.30rwhitbyyep, very quiet tonight
09:42.29rwhitbyjacques: kergoth added e2tools for us today
09:42.56jacquesah so it's in? nice I never say him say it was actually pushed
09:43.35jacquesI guess I should pull my repos
09:47.10jacquesre dyoung
09:48.36dyoungRe.
09:49.10dyoungEverytime I go to Compusa I see the Buffalo Linkstation debating if I should buy it.  This has been going on for at least 2 months.
09:50.41jacqueswhat's that? how much is it?
09:53.01*** join/#nslu2-linux kas11 (~kar@40-61.73-24.tampabay.rr.com)
09:53.04dyoungPPC Based.  ~130 BogoMips.  beautiful case.  $249 for the one that comes with a 160G drive.
09:54.36dyoungthey have a "new" version available in the US now called KuroBox, whihc is directly translated from the Japanese version, "KuroHako" or "Black Box".  That one comes with no hard drive.  Price Unknown.
09:55.01kas11anyone know why I am getting "malformed patch" when applying nslu2_2.6.7.patch?
09:56.04dyoungI'm not sure if anyone has actually tested the nslu2_2.6.7.patch file.
09:56.31dyoungThat one is the mrakes nslu2 target stuff with a static MTD Partition table.
09:56.56kas11I don't think there is anything wrong with the patch...if I remove the diff section is is complaining about, it just complains about the next one...and they all look fine and pretty much like the previous ones patch was happy with
09:58.32kas11yeah, that be the one....I've looked at it 'til I am blue in the face...and buit my own diff to dup what Mark was doing...doesn't help
09:59.09kas11I even installed a later version of patch
10:01.10kas11I really hate to resort to fixing the files and cp'ing them...
10:02.57kas11malformed patch at line 368...mach-types looks a little funky with the tabs...but if I remove that patch, I get an error with the next
10:04.12dyoungHmm, this doesnt ring any bells.
10:05.09kas11I saw a note on the oe wiki...so I am exporting LANG=C too
10:05.45jacquesi have seen weird stuff like that whem mixing unix and windows
10:06.03jacqueswith the different /n /n/r thing or whatever
10:17.30kas110A 2B 0A 64 69 66 66 at the point that is is failing...EOL + EOL diff   ...just what it should be
10:19.24jacquesyeah I just checked it and it seems OK as far as that is concerned
10:23.46dyoungOfftopic, anyone know anything about Fords?
10:24.31kas11I added 3 more lines to the patch at that point + + +....it ran...geeez
10:25.35dyoungrwhitby, did you have any interest in one of these radio crap USB cables?
10:28.10kas11I can't beleive it built x1226-rtc.c without complaining...I musta forgot something in the patch
10:28.20rwhitbydyoung: got a picture?
10:28.23*** join/#nslu2-linux NAiL (~repvik@172.80-202-209.nextgentel.com)
10:28.28rwhitbyI don't know what they look like
10:28.58NAiLFinally. I'll be getting my nslu2 next week (or so they say...)
10:31.44dyoungNo picture.  Didnt go shopping for it yet.  Basically its a cable with a USB Connector on one side, proprietary Nokia Connector on the other, then you'll break or otherwise disassemble the nokia side and add a 4-pin female plug for SlugUse.
10:33.45dyoungI think there might be a dongle in the middle of the assembly.
10:34.18dyoungAnyways, if I can find the thing on sale for $10 like the others, if you wanted one I can get it and send it with the Digilent JTAG cable.
10:34.54jacquesthere was a pic linked from the list
10:35.09dyoungIt supposedly works under linux with the Prolific driver.
10:36.31jacqueshttp://www.futuredial.com/FDCart/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=725&cid=50
10:36.51jacquessupposedly that's the same cable
10:38.53dyoungI'm going to go hunting for it tommrow at some local radio smacks.
10:39.15dyoungWhere, "Youve got questions, we've got shrugs!"
10:57.14rwhitbydyoung: yeah sure, if they have one spare then pick one up for me.  I gotta have all the toys everyone else has :-)
10:57.51dyoungOkay, no promises, since I'm even sure I can find 'em.  I figured you were a Toy Man.
10:58.36rwhitbycool, thx.  I'm not fussed either way, but pick one up if they've got one for $10.
11:08.49jacquesI'm also going to try to find a couple - I am running out of serial ports on my pc's
11:09.26dyoungThats my intention too.  I'm totally out of serial ports.  I need some sort of port server.
11:10.42dyoungThe webfoot looks okay.  Its basically a OEM Digi product.
11:11.41jacquesnow that's an idea
11:13.53dyoungI have several Portserver TS/4's deployed.  Been pretty happy with those.
11:19.35rwhitbyanyone know which debian package supplies ext2fs/ext2fs.h ?
11:23.17rwhitbynever mind, it's in e2fsprogs - I just need to make it get installed in staging in OE
