11:31.59Ycrosis ipkg terribly dodgy, or is it just me
11:36.11tubbie|homeYcros, there is a newer one in the upgrades feed:
11:36.14tubbie|homehttp://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/upgrades/
11:36.24Ycrosyou serious?
11:36.31Ycrosdoes it like, not break everything
11:37.25Ycrosboth me and a friend (he's just recently installed oz on his zaurus as well) are having huge problems with it
11:37.59tubbie|homeare you using it from console?
11:38.14Ycrosyeah
11:38.34Ycroswe're both installing things in an alternate dest
11:38.41Ycrosbecause / doesn't have much space
11:39.03tubbie|homecollie?
11:39.54Ycroshis is I think
11:40.08tubbie|homeand you have a poodle?
11:40.31Ycrosmine's actually a spitz but / is a 50mb partition, I'm trying to install gpe and I thought it would generally be a good idea to install it on a bigger partition
11:40.58Ycrosit'd be even better if I could just repartition it
11:41.04tubbie|homewell my last experinces are with gpe on c1k
11:41.09YcrosPackage ipkg (0.99.148-r0) installed in root is up to date.
11:41.13Ycroshmm
11:41.30Ycroswhat I don't understand
11:41.30tubbie|homebut I installed everything to root
11:41.39tubbie|homeon the 1ck
11:41.48tubbie|homebut gpe is a lot of work
11:42.02Ycrosis why ipkg-link not integrated with ipkg
11:42.14Ycrosto me it would make sense if it ran it after it installed each package
11:42.48tubbie|homehmmm, maybe some hints on oesf?
11:43.21tubbie|homewell I never tried other dests on c1k, since it has a lot of flash
11:44.22tubbie|homehad a look into /etc/ipkg.conf
11:44.22Ycrosyeah
11:44.28tubbie|home?
11:44.37Ycrosthat's where I added the other dest
11:44.40Ycrosand the other feeds
11:45.05Ycrosgah
11:51.22tubbie|homehmmm, nothing in bugtracker about that
11:53.07tubbie|homequote from lardman on oesf:
11:53.09tubbie|homeUse ipkg-link like so:
11:53.09tubbie|homeipkg-link mount /media/card/packages
11:53.18tubbie|homemaybe this helps
12:02.58Ycrosyes
12:03.02Ycrosit does help
12:03.06Ycrosbut it should do it automatically
12:03.13Ycrosafter installing each package
12:03.15Ycroswhat happens
12:03.21Ycrosis that when it hits the configuration section
12:03.33Ycrosa lot of packages fail configuring because they need links which don't exist yet
12:07.25Ycroshmm
12:13.19tubbie|homeFrom the hentges roms I know it should work, because that system comes with an installer and installs everything to SD
12:13.34tubbie|homeit calls ipkg-link at the begining
12:14.09tubbie|homeautomatically
12:14.21tubbie|homeso it should work
12:16.20tubbie|hometheoretically
12:16.49tubbie|homebut I am not aware about then mdofications there
12:18.43tubbie|homeI can build you an ipkg cvs snapshot, but updating ipkg is not laways the best Idea  
12:20.17tubbie|homeHave you tried gpe now on your spitz Ycros?
12:21.47tubbie|homeThe extra keys are not working on the c1k and also screen rotation an backlights need some hacks
12:41.12*** join/#openzaurus mithro (~tim@ppp226-233.lns3.adl2.internode.on.net)
12:44.03Ycrosthe extra keys don't work on mine either, I haven't tried it yet
12:44.11YcrosI'm screwing around a bit with my guitar at the moment
12:54.55*** join/#openzaurus Cwiiis (~cwiiis@user-214-207-151-83.e7even.com)
13:10.32Ycrosdo I have to go through the flashing process to install a new zimage?
13:11.38tubbie|homedunno that for spitz
13:12.12tubbie|homeit may be possible just to flash the kernel
13:12.19tubbie|homeI did often on collie
13:13.19tubbie|homebut before you maybe brick you your device, I dunno
13:14.20Ycroshey
13:14.24Ycrosis
13:14.26Ycros3.5.3 incomplete?
13:14.34YcrosI'm noticing things missing here and there
13:14.46Ycroswhich exist in the previous version
13:16.05tubbie|homeit depends on you perspective, not all packages from OE are there. I had to compile jamvm for example on my own
13:17.40Ycrosso.
13:17.47Ycrosbut like
13:17.53Ycroswhen I install something
13:18.01YcrosI expect its dependencies to exist
13:18.18Ycroshow do I roll my own?
13:19.47*** join/#openzaurus marcan (1337@64.Red-83-53-0.pooles.rima-tde.net)
13:20.49tubbie|homewell sometimes just the control file is not conform and asking for xyz1.2.3+cvs.ipk instead of xyz1.2.3.ipk
13:21.22tubbie|homethis can be fixed by just playing with force-depends issues and so on
13:21.46tubbie|homesomtimes something is now provided by another packager
13:22.01tubbie|homeand sometimes you have to build it on your own
13:22.11Ycros...why? where is all this documented?
13:22.27tubbie|homegood question
13:23.12Ycrossee this is what I'm finding most annoying
13:23.13tubbie|homeWhy, because there are just few maintainers maintaining a lot of packages
13:23.22YcrosI've had to guess my way through most things
13:23.28Ycroshmm
13:23.59tubbie|homeIt is not all documented, a lot of things are just spoken on irc
13:24.14tubbie|homeit is really aproblem of infrastructure
13:27.26tubbie|homea lot of things you learn as openembedded/bitbake user
13:29.22Ycros;E
13:32.35tubbie|homeif you have a fast linux box with a lot of Ram and >15 Gig free space on HD, you should install oe/bitbake
13:36.01tubbie|homesince spitz is brand new from devel perspective
13:36.44Ycrosyeah
13:36.47YcrosI'm tempted to install it
13:37.06Ycroshow is openzaurus different from familiar? I notice they support the zaurus too.
13:37.45tubbie|homeno familiar is just for iPaqs
13:37.50YcrosI found fc-cache
13:37.53YcrosI think
13:38.05Ycrosin libfontconfig-utils
13:38.33Ycrosipkg search isn't really working properly
13:38.41Ycrostubbie|home: no, they support zaurus
13:39.01tubbie|homewhy should they support zaurus?
13:39.05Ycrosdon't they?
13:39.07Ycrosblek
13:39.26tubbie|homeopenzaurus and familiar are both using openembedded
13:39.39Ycros"Familiar v0.8.2 for the iPAQ h3600, h3700, h3800, h3900, h5400, and h5500 series, Siemens Simpad and Sharp Zauri."
13:39.55tubbie|homeyes because the base is the same
13:40.15tubbie|homethey are according to openembedded
13:40.56tubbie|homeonce you configure you openembedded, you can choose DIST=openzaurus or familiar
13:41.29tubbie|homeso lot of packages are the same
13:41.33Ycrosuhha
13:41.49tubbie|homebut kernel conf for example is different
13:41.51YcrosI've heard about people running debian on their zaurii, do you know anything about that?
13:42.23tubbie|homeyes it is pocketworkstation running debian as chroot
13:42.36Ycrosmmm okay.
13:42.36tubbie|homeshould be quite slow
13:43.15tubbie|homeit is possible to use that with openzaurus
13:43.33tubbie|homethere are some postings about on the oesf forums
13:43.35Ycrosblek (:
13:43.46tubbie|homefor spitz it should be nice
13:43.54tubbie|homebecause of hd

16:25.21CoreDump|homeIIRC the CF bug is only present on c3000 ROMs
16:25.29darkschneider(i have flashed it about 15 times in the past.. pre-oe times...didn0t had those problems..)
16:26.00CoreDump|homemaybe the files were damaged? Did you check the md5sums?
16:26.11darkschneidereheh me stupid..
16:26.18darkschneiderthat first thing i whodul have done..
16:26.22darkschneiderlet me check now
16:26.28CoreDump|home:)
16:28.47darkschneiderpff... md5 are ok, i was saved by the occurence that some bits while dowloaded get corrupted to a microsoft executable
16:29.03lardmanin a shell script, how can one check to see if any arguments have been passed?
16:29.25lardmanif [ $1 = "" ]; then ??
16:29.37lardmanI want to detect the case where none have been passed
16:29.57CoreDump|homelardman: test -z $*
16:30.10CoreDump|home$* == all passed arguments in one string
16:30.23lardmanwhat does test -z do?
16:30.36CoreDump|homeit checks for zero length
16:30.44lardmancool, thanks
16:30.50CoreDump|home-n checks for non-zero
16:30.59CoreDump|homenp :)
16:32.53lardmanhmm, doesn't seem to like -z for some reason
16:33.10lardmanthis is using /bin/sh on the Z
16:36.22lardmanI'm an idiot [ -z $* ] is what I should write
16:48.22lardmanBye all
17:11.29alanis there a way to get rid of the login manager under GPE ? i don't want this this buggy crap to prevent me from loging in...
17:15.22tubbie|homeyou can use autologin, but it will just log you an as root, as far as I remember
17:32.27alan... thanks tubbie|home.
17:32.44darkschneidermmmm i get a "running the wrong kernel" message on reboot...
17:32.49alanis there really no way to uninstall it ?
17:33.08darkschneiderit looked strange to me that the files in poodle dir are for pxa255 while poodle has pxa250...
17:34.07darkschneiderany suggestion? are the files on site ok anyway even if named "zImage-poodle-pxa255.." and the warning message at the zaurus boot
17:34.08darkschneider?
17:35.26CoreDump|homethe files should be alright
17:37.23darkschneiderthat pxa255 in file name makes me suspicious considerig that the wekenl itself is lamenting
17:40.59CoreDump|homeflash them and see :) since OZ doesn't touch your bootloader, the worst thing that can happen is that you need to re-flash
17:43.52darkschneiderthe message i get from the kernel is by that kernel allready, it's allready flashed :)
17:45.07CoreDump|homeheh good point
17:45.16CoreDump|homeyou are using the wrong kernel though
17:45.41darkschneiderthat intresting point, sincei took it in sl-5600 dir on the site :)
17:45.44CoreDump|homemaybe you didn't rename the zImage correctly? I believe it must the called zImage.bin
17:45.56darkschneiderand considering it at least works a bit
17:46.00CoreDump|homebut I'm not sure.
17:46.04darkschneiderzImage
17:46.08CoreDump|homedarkschneider: you can flash a ROM w/o kernel allright
17:46.17CoreDump|homeand you can falsh a kernel w/o ROM
17:46.19darkschneiderwithotu the bin
17:46.23CoreDump|homei c
17:46.30darkschneideri knwo, you just have to not place the files :)
17:46.34darkschneideri allready did that in past
17:46.34CoreDump|homeindeed
17:46.57CoreDump|homei believe the kernel wasn't flashed on your Z. For whatever reason :)
17:47.03CoreDump|homeor the ROM ofcourse
17:48.23darkschneideraye.. i'll try.. indeed i'm running 2.4.18
17:48.36darkschneiderthat look quite old for a so recent distro
17:48.51CoreDump|homethat would be sharps fault
17:48.59CoreDump|homefor not releasing some specs
17:49.18CoreDump|home2.4.18 is the best you'll _ever_ get for collie for example
17:49.26darkschneiderok
17:49.39darkschneiderthen i do not knwo if kernel was flashed or not
17:50.06darkschneideri think i mounted the cf as fat 16 and not as vfat and that the I in image for lowercase
17:50.07CoreDump|hometry reflashing just the kernel. Should take about 15 seconds.
17:50.08darkschneiderlet see
17:50.28darkschneidereeek.... i'm a biit late on dinner apointemnt...
17:50.29darkschneiderdamn
