IRC log for #openzaurus on 20070702

00:16.31cybaneHey CoreDump|afk you over here?
00:26.41CoreDump|afknot for much longer
00:29.53cybanebitbake is what is used to make a package for openzaurus correct?
00:30.02NAbyss_Yep
00:30.25cybaneIs there any documentation on the process to compile software and form it into a pkg for openzaurus?
00:30.40NAbyss_~GettingStarted
00:30.41ibothmm... gettingstarted is http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted
00:30.55NAbyss_Take a squiz at that link to get the build system established
00:32.22cybanealright
00:32.57cybaneI have tried working with angstrom and it just doesn't work as well as openzaurus for my 5500 so I have decided to learn on OpenZaurus then move to Angstrom when I know enough
00:32.58NAbyss_Once it's setup, it's as easy as 'bitbake gnumeric' etc.
01:06.32cybaneNAbyss_: I am following the directions on the getting started site and when I issue this cmd mtn --db=/stuff/OE.mtn pull monotone.openembedded.org org.openembedded.dev
01:07.12cybaneI get the error mtn:error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex.so.133.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
01:07.30cybaneMy system has boost 1.34 is this causing the issue?
01:07.41NAbyss_cybane: My guess would be yes
01:07.59NAbyss_Just ${DISTRO_INSTALL_COMMAND} monotone.. it should handle the deps
01:08.01cybaneGreat so I need boost 1.33
01:11.18cybaneNAbyss_: done now it is telling me to run a mtn db migrate
01:12.36NAbyss_Yep, that'll update the DB schema
01:14.07cybanewhen I issue the mtn db migrate OE.mtn I receieve usage information like the command is saying HEY USE ME RIGHT!
01:19.52NAbyss_cybane: Yep
01:19.54NAbyss_--db OE.mtn
01:20.16cybanethanks

15:36.37YoGhi, can anybody help me setup xqt?
15:43.33YoGhi lardman
15:44.33lardmanhi YoG
15:44.45lardmanIt's been a long time I'm afraid.
15:44.48lardmanWhat's the problem?
15:44.54YoGyes I know
15:45.09YoGbut I hoped you may be able to give me some advice
15:45.18YoGthe problem is as follows:
15:45.44lardmanI'll try
15:45.45YoGI installed Xqt2 from the feed (or Xqt the problem was with both of them)
15:46.05YoGwhen I start Xqt
15:46.35YoGI get gray screen of the xserver, but it is rotated
15:46.48YoGand is not refreshed
15:46.55YoGbtw, I'm on c860
15:47.19YoGthe best that i managed to do is:
15:47.23lardmanthe rotation is set in the script that starts the xserver (and should start the wm too)
15:47.31YoGno wm
15:47.36YoGjust the xserver
15:47.55lardmanI can't remember the name off the top of my head
15:48.03YoGname of what?
15:48.04lardmancan you look in the .desktop file to see what it runs?
15:48.10lardmanof the script
15:48.18YoGI started it from command line
15:48.23lardmanthis should also all be on oesf iirc
15:48.28lardmanwhat was the command?
15:48.41YoGI looked it up, i found the problem but not a solution
15:48.56YoGthe command?
15:48.59YoGXqt?
15:49.19lardmanAh, I think you need to start from a script
15:49.31lardmanthe script starts the xserver, and then starts the wm
15:50.12YoGI don't have a wm installed - that's not the problem (me thinks)
15:50.31lardmantry XQt --help
15:50.43YoGtried that
15:50.44lardmansee what arguments it takes, one of them is the screen rotation & size
15:51.10YoGif i change QWS_ROTATION
15:51.18YoGsorry
15:51.21YoGQWS_DISPLAY
15:51.32YoGto "Transformed:Rot0:0"
15:51.38YoGthen the rotation seems ok
15:51.52YoGbut the screen does not get refreshed
15:52.00lardmanThat gets Opie to do the rotation doesn't it?
15:52.12YoGno
15:52.16YoG:-|
15:52.45YoG`export QWS_DISPLAY="Transform:Rot0:0" ` does not cause opie to rotate
15:52.57YoGat least not in my case.
15:53.48YoGbtw, the desktop icon directly  `Xqt`
15:54.14lardmanhmm
15:54.20lardmanyou've looked at the docs?
15:54.41YoGdocs? tried to find them... :-(
15:54.52lardmanhttp://xqt.sourceforge.jp/docs/refman-en/
15:54.59lardmanyou need to translate though
15:55.06lardmanbabelfish, etc.
15:55.42lardmandid Xqt --help do anything? From the docs looks like it wants only one dash
15:57.00YoGI can pass a "display-class" maybe this is what I'm looking for?
15:57.14lardmanhmm, the icon you should use to start it is the one named "Start X"
15:57.18lardmanno idea, perhaps
15:57.42lardmantry to find the script that is usually linked to that Start X command
15:58.36lardmanin Xqt-startup-scripts I'd bet
15:58.59YoGI don't have such a thing
15:59.49lardmanthe whole system needs more than just the xqt binary install, it needs fonts, a wm and some startup scripts, these are listed in http://xqt.sourceforge.jp/docs/install-en/
16:00.57YoGyes, I know, but the X server itself does not start properly...
16:01.12lardmanbecause you need the scripts to tell it how to start
16:01.22YoGah
16:02.10YoGyou are probably right...
16:02.18YoGdidn't think about it
16:02.31lardmannp
16:02.40lardmanhope you get it working okay
16:03.11YoGif I will - I would gladly write a howto
16:04.14lardmansounds like a good plan
16:22.09cybaneDoes Konqueror not run if there is not a network connection
16:32.20YoGcybane: Konquror can run even if there is no network connection
16:32.25YoGcybane: afaik
16:35.56cybaneIt did after I reran ipkg-link mount /media/card/packages

17:05.25summatusmentisthis is when you say something along the line of "it can't love me like you do" :-P
17:05.41summatusmentisthen she goes "awwww"
17:06.13cybaneNo I said it can't make a cellphone call
17:06.20summatusmentislol
17:06.31cybaneI wish Skype had a linux client
17:06.37summatusmentisbut see, w/ the right card(gprs/gsm cf card) it can make a phone call
17:06.50summatusmentisSkype does have a linux client, but not for the arm architecture
17:06.53cybaneYeah but I do not want a cellphone
17:07.16summatusmentisI've heard of people using their Z for voip
17:07.20summatusmentisbut I don't know much about it

18:40.42cybane5500
18:40.50cybaneRight now I have a lot of software on it
18:45.56go1dfishcool
18:45.59go1dfishI have a 5500
18:46.08go1dfishbut mine is getting pretty worse for wear though
18:46.24go1dfishyou using the stock battery?
18:47.49go1dfishI have a 6000 as well, I've been trying to think of a good use for my 5500
18:48.16go1dfishI need to take apart the keyboard slider and give the contacts a good cleaning on it
18:49.27cybaneThe battery I have is a 1100mAh
18:50.05cybaneI use it as an MP3 player, eBook Reader, SIP Phone, Web browser, IRC Client, platform for Aircrack
18:51.10go1dfishI don't have my z handy, can't remember what the stock battery power wa
18:51.11go1dfishwas
18:51.23go1dfishI think it's lower than that though right? if so, where did you get the battery
18:51.24cybaneRight now I am trying find a decent USA based SIP service
18:51.35go1dfishcybane: gizmoproject.com
18:51.40cybaneIt came with the device when I bought it on ebay
18:52.02go1dfishdisclaimer: I work for mp3tunes (owned by michael robertson, he also owns a large portion of gizmo)
18:52.29go1dfishI haven't tried doing sip stuff with gizmo myself, but from what I've heard it works pretty well
18:52.32cybanegizmo does not have a client for the arm
18:53.18cybaneDoesn't sipphone.com use gizmo?
18:58.50go1dfishsame company
18:59.03go1dfishit's standard sip though, if you can find a sip client for the z it should work
18:59.19go1dfishI've been tempted to set it up on my 6000
18:59.40go1dfishI have one of those retro handsets with the miniplug connector from thinkgeek...
18:59.55go1dfishI want to hook it up to my 6000 and sit it on my desk
19:00.28cybaneget kphonepi
19:04.02go1dfishI'm running gpe on it right now, and honestly don't like phones much, so I'll probably never get around to setting it up
19:04.26cybaneWell I use OpenZaurus 3.5.4 with Opie and it has a lot of nice functioning features
19:04.27go1dfishand I have a perfectly good treo 650, I'd love to be able to put linux on it
19:04.47cybaneAngstrom is still in development and I plan to help bring collie along when I have the ability till then I use what works
19:13.13go1dfishI'll help once the wifi on my 6000 is stable under the 2.6 kernel, I don't mind my userspace crashing left and right
19:16.01cybaneAnother reason why I stayed with 2.4 it is working properly
19:16.19cybaneI am all for new development however, having the ability to stay working is more important to me
19:19.19cybanego1dfish: is that sipphone legit?
19:20.07summatusmentisgo1dfish: there's openmoko running on the treo 650... still way beta at this point, but they've gotten it working
19:31.54cybaneI wish there was a skype client for OpenZaurus
19:33.12Zero_Chaoscybane: is there one for pdaXrom or anything?
19:33.32cybaneI do not know
19:37.17cybaneZero_Chaos: No there is not
19:37.44cybaneI know I can use a SIP service though
20:02.44summatusmentiscybane: anything that you can compile from source should work, the issue is that skype is closed source, and doesn't want to open it's code to any of these projects
20:09.51cybanei know
20:14.22go1dfishsummatusmentis: link?
20:14.42go1dfishI've found someone ported the kernel and gpe to run on the 650
20:15.18go1dfishbut there is no support for the modem, and the project seems scattered
20:17.04go1dfishhmm I'll have to try this out: http://hackndev.com/node/706
20:20.04go1dfishopenmoko on a treo would be godly, I love my little 650, but palmos is quite limiting
20:21.56cybaneI wonder how hard is it to make your own 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter
20:26.16cybaneWhy did Sharp put a 3.5mm jack with 3 rings on it?
20:26.37Zero_Chaoscybane: stereo out, mono in (headset)
20:27.27cybaneHowever, I am having a heck of a time finding an adapter for the 2.5mm headsets
20:39.12go1dfishcybane: I wish my 6000 had a 3.5mm jack
20:39.21go1dfishI used my 5500 like a mp3 player all the time
20:39.55go1dfishkind of cumbersome with the 6000, it was designed to make a better voip phone
20:40.11summatusmentisgo1dfish: I don't know if there's a set of directions for it or not, but I've seen a picture w/ openmoko on it
20:41.25go1dfishI read someone had some success communicating with the gsm modem on their 650 under linux, but still some issues
20:41.41summatusmentisgo1dfish: http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/
20:41.49cybaneMy only question is does the Zauru's 3.5mm jack have 3 rings or 2 rings?
20:42.10summatusmentisit looks like the gsm modem isn't part of gsmd(that openmoko uses), but I think the person who did that is gonna get it working soon-ish
20:42.19cybaneI have yet to find a 3.5mm plug with 3 rings on it
20:42.28go1dfishawesome
20:42.35go1dfishI have a cdma treo
20:43.00go1dfishbut everything I've read indicates the gsm efforts would largely apply to the cdma radios as well on the 650
20:43.10summatusmentisperhaps, I have no idea about cdma
20:43.22summatusmentisI mean, not relating to linux, cdma is the only access I have where I'm at
20:43.58go1dfishyeah, cdma was my only option when I got my treo, I lived in NC, in a pretty rural area at times with no gsm coverage
20:44.13summatusmentissame here, terrible gsm coverage
20:44.21go1dfishnow I live in CA, but I'd still like to have access in NC, and I like my provider (Alltel)
20:44.27summatusmentisbut I'm w/ USCC, so terrible smartphone options as well
20:44.30go1dfishthey don't block BTDUN or anything
20:45.01summatusmentisapparently same w/ USCC, but my windows laptop doesn't have BT, and I haven't tried setting up DUN over USB in linux
20:45.01go1dfishalltel doesn't have very good smartphone options either, but I really like the treo hardware/form factor
20:45.43go1dfishIm looking forward to palms linux offering, but it will likely take a while before alltel offers it
20:45.53go1dfishand if I can avoid switching phones, so much the better
20:45.53summatusmentiswell, only smartphones available are the blackberry's
20:46.10go1dfishI just ordered a low profile antenna replacement for my treo
20:46.54go1dfishheh
20:47.22go1dfishmy dream phone though...
20:47.29go1dfishwould be a Nokia e90 running linux
