00:31.53icefoxAnyone here ran fixkdeincludes -e on opie?
00:32.03chouimat|tvno why?
00:32.37icefoxhow can I say:"No '%' found in output.  Report as a bug w/encoder command line options if progressbar does not fill." in only 80 charactors?
00:34.01icefoxchouimat|tv: it just speeds up the compile time, removes includes that arn't needed

12:58.57pb_mickeyl: probably need to write a small program using libpng.
13:00.03mickeylpb_: don't want to reinvent the wheel... i found a few programs (e.g. fbi) which let me display stuff in the fb, but no program to just convert it to a file which I can 'cat' later...

13:04.30schurigmickeyl: /dev/fb0 contains the raw rgb pixels of the framebuffer, it's in no particular format. It should be easy to convert this to one of the netpbm formats and vica verca
13:05.12schurigBUT BEWARE: /dev/fdx has different formats on different hardware, e.g. a monochrome framebuffer is different to a 8 bit color depht framebuffer is different ot a 16 bit depth framebuffer
13:05.46schurigthere is somewhere something like libfb that unifies access.
13:05.47Twiunyeiazel: thanks - I didn't realise it was
13:06.47schuriganyway, once you have a picture in the fb, you can cat /dev/fb0 >/tmp/pic and later cat /tmp/pic >/dev/fb/0
13:07.36yeiazelTwiun: :)
13:08.01Twiunyeiazel: I hope the other keyboard behaviour I want to change is in there too :)
13:09.34Twiunnope, it's not... but useful stuff to know regardless
13:13.10mickeylschurig: actually i just want to display a bunch of splash screens during sysinit and i think everything beyond cat'ing some prerendered pictures into fb would be overkill for that purpose
13:13.33Twiunmickeyl: not going to use the bootsplash stuff then?
13:14.49mickeylTwiun: I'm not sure yet. but 1.) it doesn't apply without patching to rmk-patches kernels and 2.) i feel it is overkill 'just' for a splash screen
13:15.34Twiunmickeyl: I suppose so :)
13:15.51Twiunmickeyl: I'll see if I can 'borrow' the relevant code just for the fb background
13:16.42mickeylTwiun: that would be spiffy!"

13:23.17cmartinjust bk pulled newest version of opie and qt and i get an error with stocktickerconfig ?
13:23.46mickeylalready fixed. cvs update opie
13:25.10Twiunbtw, that CF card not mounting problem - it's not hotplug, things work find if I restart pcmcia services
13:26.54cmartinTwiun: are you talking about SIMpad? - isn't there an issue with resuming and PCMCIA?
13:27.42Twiuncmartin: my issues are on the Zaurus - most likely a separate problem than the simpad ones
13:27.50cmartink
13:28.29mickeylcmartin: the issue is not pcmcia, the issue is lack of decent power management abstraction. manually calling all suspend scripts before suspending and after that calling manually all resume scripts works
13:28.54cmartinmickeyl: in your TODO you mention the fact that rootfs is mounted twice and you ask if that's a problem - well my iPAQ is the same and everything is fine there
13:29.10cmartink
13:29.19mickeylcmartin: good. then its just "cosmetics" :)
13:29.30cmartinthink so too
13:29.42mickeylcmartin: which means that the kernel folks really should settle on apm or acpi and that soon. it's pretty annoying
13:29.49Twiunlet's see what else lineo have fucked up in there
13:29.53mickeylTwiun: hehe
13:31.12cmartinmickeyl: i have a candidate for testing 16MB devices with our OE images
13:31.25cmartinmickeyl: just an info
13:33.36mickeylcmartin: that's good. I really like to release an image as soon as juergen et. al. come out with a new bootloader. i think there are no real showstoppers left. bugs and quirks yes, but imho no showstoppers. what do you think?
13:34.22cmartinmickeyl: that's my oppinion too
13:38.16cmartinmickeyl: BTW good job with the switch stuff - sorry i couldn't help you there, but after seeing your messages in the ML it was over my head anyways ;-)
13:38.56cmartinmickeyl: i'm not very firm in qt and opie
13:46.35mickeylcmartin: actually it was pretty easy once i found out (thanks to schurig) why reading /dev/switches didn't work :)
13:46.48mickeylpeter corrected the bug in the simpad-kernel yesterday.
13:51.18mickeylI'm about to integrate the current snapshot of jpm2 into buildroot
13:55.26schurighurray, suspend/resume works even with my wlan card :-)
13:55.40schurigthe little joys of a little kernel hacker
13:56.06mickeylcmartin: ah damn... once again i can't get into cvs because of sf.net's maximum anon cvs
13:56.13mickeylschurig: congrats - what did you do?
13:56.14schurigmickeyl: don't CAT them, do gzip -d <pic.gz >/dev/fd0 ...
13:56.33mickeylschurig: i would if i could convert them...
13:56.36schurigmickeyl: dig deep into the Intel PXA Develeper's Manual and do the right thing (tm)
13:56.42mickeylhehe
13:57.24schurigmickeyl: hmm, you use some software to display the pics on the fb, then you save them with gzip -9 </dev/fb0 >/tmp/pic.gz
13:57.43schurigmickeyl: and so you get a bunch of simpad specific pics. And later you re-display them.
13:57.55schurigmickeyl: maybe not the best way ...  but it should work
13:58.29schurigmickeyl: if you want to write into fb or draw little graphics and you don't want to call Qt during boot, then have a look at libts. The "ts_calibrate" has some framebuffer access code
13:59.06schurigalso there is the linux-logo web site where you can easily create your own penguin bootlogo
13:59.46mickeylyup
14:00.19mickeylthat sounds doable
14:00.25ljp_laptopI can have a penguin with big boobs?
14:00.34schurigmickeyl: they don't settle on APM or ACPI ...  no one really want's ACPI, it's bureacratic overblow. Can increase the kernel by more than 80 kB. So, for small target's like us APM is the way to do the user interface
14:00.56schurigljp_laptop: go and get a decent girlfriend / wife
14:01.31schurigmickeyl: http://www.arnor.net/linuxlogo/
14:01.48schurigThis patch applied (AFAIK) plain to my -rmkX-pxaY kernel
14:01.51mickeylschurig: now if the handhelds.org people would be a bit more cooperative and would provide the apm-bios-less apm implementation seperated from their mega-hh-patch
14:02.08schurighehe
14:02.24schurigmickeyl: I have this stuff for PXA, so you're not that interested in my patch :-)
14:02.32mickeyl:)
14:03.00mickeylschurig: does RAMSES save the fb-memory between suspend and resume? the simpad does not
14:03.11mickeylso we have to repaint everything after resume
14:03.26Twiunmickeyl: the Z does the same thing
14:03.40mickeylTwiun: really? where is the code that does the repaint-thingy ?
14:03.41Twiunmickeyl: screen_backup() and screen_restore()
14:03.45schurigmickeyl: it doesn't need to. The framebuffer is a range of memory in SDRAM, the kernel told the LCD controller where this memory is located.
14:04.00mickeylTwiun: where can i look this up?
14:04.01schurigmickeyl: since SDRAM is preserved during suspend/resume, the image on the LCD is preserved, too
14:04.07Twiunmickeyl: let me find the sources
14:04.30Twiunmickeyl: drivers/video/colliefb.c
14:04.49mickeylschurig: well - not on the simpad. the simpad uses a mq200 graphics card which IMHO has a dedicated graphic memory
14:04.52mickeylTwiun: thanks
14:04.53schurigTwiun: that's strange. When you're in text-mode and do a suspend/resume cycle, do you then still see the image?
14:05.13Twiunschurig: I believe so
14:05.25Twiunschurig: checking now
14:05.32schurigmickeyl: okay, then you could save the framebuffer in /etc/apm/suspend.d/... and restore it in /etc/apm/resume.d/...
14:05.40schurigTwiun: bon appetit
14:06.06schurigmickeyl: or you could do this in the kernel, e.g. add proper CONFIG_PM support to drivers/video/mqwhatever.c.
14:06.50Twiunhmmm... gonna have to recompile the kernel - been pissing about with the resume key stuff :)
14:06.56Twiuncan't resume the Z atm
14:07.16schurigTwiun: smash it at the ceiling, that helps
14:07.31Twiunlol
14:07.42TwiunI'm not that desperate... I'll just reboot
14:08.50mickeylschurig: well - both options which I will delegate to the kernel folks :)
14:09.14mickeyla minimal pm helper doing this wouldn't be hard though
14:09.40schurigmickeyl: the first option is user space
14:10.30mickeylschurig: not in the current state where the on/off button is hardwired to GPIO and thus I can't do _anything_ before suspending the device.
14:12.21Twiunhrm. looks like I've truly foobar'd my linux sourcetree... thing won't resume...
14:16.24mickeylcmartin: btw., does RTC work properly yet ?
14:17.51cmartinmickeyl: what do you mean?
14:18.25cmartindo you mean the fact that the clock is reset after resetting the device?
14:19.16mickeylno. this is normal. but does the clock survive suspend and resume?
14:19.27mickeylwithout being suspended, that is :)
14:21.06cmartinoh, i forgot to take notice if this was happening when using the switchd
14:22.03mickeylok. we'll see. a related thing: hoes does one create rtc-alarms on the SIMpad?
14:22.03cmartinbut if the clock is being suspended when echoing to /proc the it would be the same with switchd
14:22.41mickeylhow do rtc-alarms work on linux in general?

14:34.43mickeyli believe that now

14:43.21mickeylnot sure
14:43.43mickeylyou don't need tslib-tools, but iirc the rest of tslib
14:43.48cmartinyou did make an image with tslib, didn't you?
14:43.56mickeyli did - but hey, that was two days ago :-D
14:44.17mickeylask killefiz, he did one yesterday

14:44.52cmartini'm making an image now
14:45.57mickeylcmartin: you might want to remake the kernel before trying the image - i just bk pushed jpm2
14:46.08mickeyli'd like to know if that kernel works
14:46.12cmartink
14:46.54cmartinwill have to let you know tonight, i don't have my simpad with me at the time
14:46.59mickeylme too :)
14:47.50mickeyli used wellenreiter (wlan sniffer) with my SIMpad on weekend. It's pretty amazing because PCMCIA cards have much better range compared to CF-cards. I scanned twice the amount of networks than with my Z
14:47.52cmartini know i asked this before - how would i just pull and recompile the kernel?
14:48.21mickeylcmartin: bk pull; rm -rf build/linux* stamps/.kernel.*; make

14:52.00Pieteis it just me, or is the mplayer in the OZ feed rather buggy?
14:52.22TheMasterMind1it is
14:52.25Pietewhen I try to manualy (without xmms/e) play a file, i just get audio and a black screen..
14:52.33TheMasterMind1its improved since, just not in feeds yet
14:52.46Pieteand lots of errors like 'this should use swscaler' etc..
14:52.53PieteTheMasterMind1: ah, good to hear :)
14:53.09TheMasterMind1oz is due for another minor release pretty badly
14:53.22TheMasterMind1ipkg still sucks though, thats pretty much whats holding it back
14:53.34PieteI took the plunge and got  a 2.4.21-rc kernel.. usbnet is pretty nice :)
14:54.00Pietehehe, yea, I wouldn't mind a binary portage for the zaurus :)
14:54.30cmartinkillefiz: ever thought about changing "zsi" to something like "OpenEmbedded Software Index"?
14:54.54Pieteso, anyone tried the 3.10 (or whatever they call it) sharp rom?
14:55.13TheMasterMind1yea
14:55.16TheMasterMind1its not that great
14:55.19TheMasterMind1some real nice things
14:55.25TheMasterMind1but still a crappy sharp rom
14:55.30Piete:/
14:55.44PieteI hoped they would fix it up..
14:55.46TheMasterMind1cmartin: all the software on zsi isn't openembedded compatible
14:55.56schurigcmartin: why do you have both cramfs and jffs2?
14:55.58TheMasterMind1they fixed documents tab, used 2.4.18
14:56.06TheMasterMind1updated opera and such
14:56.07PieteTheMasterMind1: aww, kewl
14:56.17TheMasterMind1but the new kernel gets load averages of 3.5
14:56.27PieteTheMasterMind1: wha:
14:56.30TheMasterMind1heh, the 2.4.18 oz rom wont' be all that great
14:56.34PieteTheMasterMind1: I thought they fixed that..
14:56.36TheMasterMind1the 2.4.19 oz rom will own
14:56.39TheMasterMind1Piete: nope
14:57.23PieteI'd love a videolan where the server-side does the decoding..
14:57.36Pietethen I can watch dvds on low-powered devices..
14:57.37Piete:)
14:57.39cmartinschurig: cramfs was in the beginning, until we started integrating with oe - now we have jffs2 - should be the only thing we will use in the future ;)
14:57.58TheMasterMind1Piete: hehe
14:57.59cmartinschurig: at least oe-wise
14:58.23schurigcmartin: if the hex numbers in your display are start-of-image and length-of-image then it looks strange
14:58.23Pietebtw, where does ipkq save packages while they are downloaded and being installed?

15:01.20Pieteanyway
15:01.23Pietebedtime..
15:01.35cmartinschurig: no that is size and eraseblock size not length
15:02.56cmartinschurig: what you see are just the partition descriptions set in the kernel - cramfs was for the original cramfs partition
15:03.21killefizcmartin: [new zsi name] - yes i have. but it needs more features first. Maybe i'll reimplement it in typo3 ;)
15:03.22cmartinschurig: we now only use 3 partitions - boot, kernel and root
15:03.42cmartinkillefiz;)
15:03.50schurigcmartin: you you have the new JFFS2 code that does the fast mount?
15:04.17schurigs/have/use/
15:05.19cmartinschurig: donno - if you're talking about a kernel patch, then it probably isn't in there, since the kernel guys still use cramfs
15:06.01cmartinschurig: maybe mickeyl knows this
15:06.49mickeylcmartin: miscellaneous minor things. the pcmcia stuff, the switches OOPS bugfix and the switches return value fix.
15:06.59mickeylschurig: jffs2 fast mount? where? :-D
15:07.43mickeylcmartin: basically jpm2 makes me drop my intermediate patches which is a good thing(TM)
15:09.35cmartinmickeyl: after rebuilding with the jpm2 patch i now have two ipks and the jpm2 version is not in the Packages file - is this normal?
15:09.46schurigmickeyl: it
15:09.59schurigmickeyl: it's in the current MTD cvs.
15:10.21schurigmickeyl: it prevents jffs from scanning all flash sectors at boot time, but instead uses a kernel thread that does this in the background
15:10.45cmartinmickeyl: could the fast mount thing be the reason why our image boots so slowly since we started using jffs2?
15:10.49schurigmickeyl: the patch is rather intrusive, patching lot's of places, e.g. a common kernel-zlib implementation
15:11.05schurigcmartin: it speeds up just the mount, not operation afterwards
15:11.51schurigcmartin: but yes, without this jffs2 is slow to mount compared with cramfs/nfs/whatever --- especially if your memory interface is slow (as on SA1110 or PXA250, PXA255 is not really good but ok)
15:11.53cmartinschurig: i'm talking about boot, not operation - it seems to me that exactly the mounting process is taking a long time
15:12.23killefizcmartin: how many seconds is a long time for you?
15:13.04*** join/#openembedded sieve (~klu5ter@12.148.134.9)
15:13.04cmartinwell, my device takes about 5 minutes to boot, but that could be because i had debug stuff activated in my last image

15:13.43killefizcmartin: yes disabling jffs2-debug brought my boot time from ~3 minutes 47 seconds
15:14.15cmartinkillefiz: ok, then that is my problem ;)
15:14.58schurigcmartin: debug stuff, it it goes out via serial cable, make things as slow as the baudrate is :-)
15:16.30mickeylit's really really slow. also booting into Opie is much slower than on the Z and I don't know wh
15:16.31mickeyly
15:16.49mickeylbut "premature optimization is the root of all evil"
15:16.52mickeylso that can come later.
15:17.03mickeylcudos to Tanenbaum
15:17.14cmartinthis must have something to do with jffs2 though, since the cramfs image doesn't boot this slowly
15:17.30mickeylcmartin: what do you mean with two packages?
15:17.40cmartinjpm1 and jpm2
15:17.54cmartinin output/ipks
15:17.55schurigmickeyl: if operation is also slow, then you should check on your SDRAM timings (they are programmable in the SA1110)
15:18.02schurigthat's usually done in the bootloader
15:18.07mickeylcmartin: make image_clean :-D
15:18.13mickeylcmartin: that is not done automatically!
15:18.28mickeylschurig: good idea. know offhand where that's initialized in?
15:18.41schurigcmartin: jffs2 needs to know which flash sectors are used and dirty. Because the box could be switched off during an sectore erase/flash ...
15:19.13schurigcmartin: so jffs2 goes over the whole flash and looks of the sector id and CRC32. It then generates a list of free/used sectors.
15:19.19cmartinmickeyl: jpm1 and jpm2 ipks still there, but Packages gone - is that right?
15:19.30schurigcmartin: jffs2 in kernel does this at mount time, jffs2 in cvs does this in a kernel thread
15:19.30mickeylno idea.
15:19.34mickeyljpm1 shouldn't be there

15:21.07mickeylschurig: are you capable of quick-teaching me how to do rtc-alarm-wake ups?
15:21.12mickeylkillefiz: no. disable that
15:21.21mickeylverbosity=0
15:21.25schurigmickeyl: no. I don't have any idea on the RTC in the SA1110
15:21.36mickeylschurig: ok.
15:21.41schurighmm, I'm not even rtc-alarm-wakeup on Ramses right now
15:22.20schurigmickeyl: but if I had to, I would programme the RTC wakeup register and set the right bit so that I get woken up
15:22.40schurigmickeyl: I could also program my DS1337 (hardware clock) to generate an IRQ, which is probably what I will do

21:26.27cmartinmickeyl: have you noticed that the dev bootloader erases flash even without pressing "y" seperately?
21:27.03mickeylcmartin: don't have it installed - since i flashed the first working image i only use ipkg upgrade to develop :)
21:27.16cmartink
21:28.02cmartini just like to make sure the flashed image works - i don't want the users complaining about non-working images they download later ;)
21:28.19mickeylsure, that's important.
21:28.47mickeylby the way, i added autorepeat and rotation-compensation to the keyboard handler :)
21:30.05cmartinmickeyl: BTW, you should probably add opie-appearance to the default image config - at least until the widget bug is gone
21:30.20mickeylisn't it included? it should
21:30.35cmartinmickeyl: no, wasn't activated
21:30.47mickeylok, add it
21:30.50mickeyli'll add it
21:30.52mickeylcmartin: how long does your image take from first boot until opie appears ?
21:31.22cmartindo you mean after image install or a normal reboot?
21:31.34mickeylnormal reboot
21:31.38mickeylfirst boot is a speciality
21:31.49cmartinwait i'll check now
21:31.52mickeylgood
21:32.27mickeyldid you notice that screen blanking and stuff works now pretty well ?
21:33.02cmartinyep - but the device turns off even if AC is plugged in
21:33.14mickeylthat is configurable in opie-light-and-power
21:33.33mickeyljust check "only turn off ldc" or so
21:33.38mickeylin AC tab
21:33.42cmartink
21:33.47mickeyldefault is unchecked
21:36.23cmartinmickeyl: reboot = 4 min = way too long!
21:36.31mickeylyes
21:36.37mickeylbut i don't know why
21:36.48mickeylonce opie is started it feels as fast as the Zaurus
21:36.54cmartinit gets to this point and takes a while:
21:37.04cmartinmtdblock_release
21:37.04cmartinok
21:37.04cmartinmtdblock_open
21:37.05cmartinok
21:37.32cmartinthen it gets to "Starting Opie" and waits a while before this comes:
21:37.42mickeyljffs2 is scanning through the complete flash. i suspect we still have a small problem there
21:37.42cmartinmcp: write timed out
21:37.55mickeylyes. something wrong with the timing.
21:38.06mickeylno idea what in opie causes this. needs more researching
21:38.32cmartini'm left with no clue at the moment
21:38.50cmartinnormal operation seems o.k.
21:39.23cmartini sure wish the screen would refresh properly
21:39.37mickeylminor issue - i already have some ideas for that :D
21:39.55cmartink
21:40.10mickeylat least for the case if suspending via opie
21:40.20mickeylthen i can add a screen-save hook
21:40.24mickeyland restore afterwards
21:40.46mickeylbut not for the on/off switch - that's due to the kernel folks to get their PM implemented properly
21:41.00cmartinwe should probably add a different default background - the one used now is ok for pdas but not for 800x600
21:41.11cmartincosmetics ;)
21:41.30mickeylalready did that :)
21:41.48cmartincan't you hook the on/off switch to an opie suspend event?
21:42.50mickeylno. it's hardwired through the kernel

22:31.18harvis anyone familiar with crosscompiling for the zaurus  (x86->arm)?
22:31.59harvor can anyone recommend a channel that i could pose questions about this?
22:32.39Twiunask away :)
22:33.21harvok...i'm trying to compile the example application for Qtopia...i've setup for the arm as a target and i'm getting a strange linker error...
22:33.38harvthe error is: /lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
22:34.08harvi've successfully compiled/tested for the x86 arch. in the qvfb application
22:34.12Twiunshouldn't it try to link to the ARM libc6?
22:34.13harvbut on arm, i get this
22:34.27harvyeah, it probably should...good poitn
22:34.30harverrr...point :D
22:34.59harvwhere is that located?
22:35.15harvall my arm tools are installed in the default location of /opt/Embedix
22:35.23harvbut i don't see that one
22:35.53Twiunshould be underneath there... might need to use a different toolchain
22:36.05harvoh wait...i found it...
22:36.14harvi'll try again after modding the Makefile
22:37.35harvwhen i attempt to compile with that...i get linker errors with libuuid and libjpeg
22:37.47Twiunsame errors?
22:37.57harvno...undefined references...
22:38.29Twiuncould you give an example?
22:38.31harvif i add the path to those in my Makefile (i.e. -L/usr/lib), i don't get those linker errors...but I do get the libc.so.6 error again
22:38.44harvsure...lemme quip the make results...
22:39.06Twiunin any case, you can't use any x86 libs to link against
22:39.27Twiunif it's not provided by the toolchain, you have to recompile from scratch or get arm binaries
22:39.38harvok...here's the quip of my make results:
22:39.41harvarm-linux-g++ -c -pipe -DQT_QWS_SL5XXX -DQT_QWS_CUSTOM -DQWS -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -Wall -W -O2 -DNO_DEBUG -I/opt/Qtopia/sharp/include -I/opt/Qtopia/sharp/include -o moc_examplebase.o moc_examplebase.cpp

22:39.48Twiun... or use the nicely convenient Openzaurus Buildroot
22:40.15harvTwiun: Openzaurus Buildroot?
22:40.22harvTwiun: not familiar with that one
22:40.27Twiunibot: tell harv about oz buildroot
22:40.30chouimatharv: you don't have the libjpeg for the arm  in your path
22:40.46Twiunharv: www.openzaurus.org
22:40.55harvhehe...ok
22:40.58harvtks man
22:41.06harvwill that solve my probs?
22:41.29Twiunharv: set of scripts that automate a lot of the hassle of crosscompiling everything for a zaurus rom
22:41.41Twiunharv: it also retrieves the sources for you
22:41.47harvTwiun: ok... I'll check it out...
22:41.55harvTwiun: tks for the help!
22:42.07Twiunharv: np
22:46.36Twiun<sarcasm>has anyone ever noticed how poorly documented parts of the kernel are?</sarcasm>
22:51.11chouimatTwiun: ?
22:51.34Twiunchouimat: trying to figure out how the various fb driver files interact
22:51.47pb_ah, nasty.
22:51.59Twiunno kidding
22:52.02chouimatTwiun:  ok ... need to go buy some litter for the cat

22:52.57TwiunI was hoping there was a simply fb_clear function I could get to redraw the pingi logo - so we'd have a fixed background in console mode
