| 00:27:35 | Hiraghm | iz dead |
| 00:28:31 | file | yes you are. |
| 00:34:36 | Hiraghm | bangs his head in frustration on his keyboard, inadvertently typing out, "Help me... help me" |
| 00:53:31 | file | finishes icon downloading |
| 00:54:09 | file | except if the file doesn't exist... it gives horrible errors |
| 00:55:23 | Hiraghm | hm |
| 00:55:36 | Hiraghm | Createfile(*filepointer); ? |
| 00:55:47 | file | I ain't writing this in whatever your talking 'bout |
| 00:59:12 | Hiraghm | uhm.. that would be pseudocode |

| 06:24:01 | Hiraghm | jeff |
| 15:12:30 | prpplague | wow, channel looks a little lean this morning |
| 15:13:34 | boris | i'm idling as per always :) |
| 15:16:37 | prpplague | boris: you should be ashamed...lol |
| 15:16:48 | boris | oh i#m not :) |
| 15:16:50 | prpplague | has been know to idle |
| 15:17:10 | boris | currentl reading linux games and wondering how long before certain gameboy adnace games are out :) |
| 15:17:43 | prpplague | boris: have they got linux running on the gba yet? |
| 15:17:53 | boris | dont think so =P |
| 15:18:07 | prpplague | bummer |
| 15:18:18 | boris | but i do have a devel kit here for it, and i am going to try and get flashable game cart |
| 15:18:48 | boris | would be damn interesting to somehow get nfs mount running over the game link, a cluster of GBA's :) |
| 15:19:06 | prpplague | boris: dev kit? didn't know one was available, how much and what can you do with it? |
| 15:19:59 | boris | heh, dev kit === arm gcc :) i'm sure you have it :) |
| 15:20:31 | prpplague | ohh |
| 15:21:17 | boris | it's a case of writing a program arm-gcc -o rom.o foo.c and then writing the object file to a GBA cart, there are some libs out there for grpahics access |
| 15:21:35 | prpplague | ahh |
| 15:21:54 | prpplague | guess i need to read up on it |
| 15:22:09 | prpplague | boris: what kinda i/o does the gba have? |
| 15:22:26 | boris | in all honesty i dont know - haven't looked into it too much |
| 15:24:12 | prpplague | gba would be a nice deal for us if we could attach a barcode scanner |
| 15:25:08 | boris | whats the diffeence between ARM and Thumb mode? (it's discussed alot WRT arm development) |
| 15:26:44 | prpplague | boris: i've not been given an exact answer on that either, but from what i gather, the thumb mode is for the mmu-less arm cores |
| 15:27:14 | prpplague | boris: so the cores that have mmu emulate both |
| 15:27:40 | boris | ahhh k |
| 15:27:40 | prpplague | boris: again this is only what i've gather, not an offical answer |
| 15:41:39 | prpplague | howdy there sig11 |
| 15:42:08 | signal11 | whats new |
| 15:42:13 | signal11 | happy day after xmas |

| 16:27:27 | file | hi all |
| 17:20:13 | prpplague | wb |
| 17:20:23 | file | grumbles |
| 17:20:40 | Tangent | file : What's up? |
| 17:20:46 | file | nothin' nothin' |
| 17:20:58 | file | u? |
| 17:21:17 | Tangent | Nah.. doing nothing.. wathcing people talk on IRC |
| 17:21:24 | Tangent | and waiting for packages to downlaod |
| 17:21:25 | file | aye. |
| 17:22:03 | file | hrms |
| 17:22:05 | prpplague | Tangent: not enjoying a nice english brew? |
| 17:22:10 | file | well I do believe my socket work is as stable as it's gonna get |
| 17:22:39 | file | so I'll bbl |
| 17:22:42 | Tangent | prpplague : Nope.. handn't even thought about it |
| 17:23:04 | Russ|werk | Fetched 131MB in 9h23m54s (3870B/s) |
| 17:23:31 | prpplague | Tangent: hmm, must be busy with programming or a woman, those are the only two things that can de-tract from a good beer |
| 17:24:25 | Tangent | prpplague : Busy eathing crisps.. had beer at lunchtime (around 3 hours ago) |
| 17:24:46 | Tangent | prpplague : I'm ill :( |
| 17:24:54 | prpplague | Tangent: ohh |
| 17:27:02 | Tangent | I've got my window box nicely confused today :) |
| 17:27:19 | Tangent | I now have 'Start Menu' items for rxvt etc :) |
| 17:27:32 | Tangent | gcc, perl, python etc are all installed |
| 17:28:19 | Tangent | Cool.. just noticed that I run only 2 windows windows, and 11 unix windows |
| 17:28:38 | Tangent | must be bored |
| 17:35:55 | Russ|werk | Tangent: start getting the debian cygwin stuff going |
| 17:37:07 | Tangent | Russ|werk : I could certainly pull ipkg onto here |
| 17:37:42 | Tangent | right now I'm hunting for a good Windows NFS client... preferably one that doesn't stop working after 30 days |
| 17:44:38 | prpplague | wb sig11 |
| 17:45:33 | signal11 | thanks |
| 17:45:44 | signal11 | i hate it when x core dumps |
| 17:47:02 | prpplague | signal11: x core'd ? i've not had that happened since back in the days of rhat5.2 |
| 17:47:36 | signal11 | it seems to happen more often to me, not sure why. rh 7.1, enlightenment, cheapo ATI card |
| 17:55:02 | Tangent | I really should be running linux on this machine... |
| 17:55:21 | Tangent | Grrr... |
| 17:56:48 | prpplague | Tangent: you know a lot of ppl peg me as a linux nut, like i wouldn't use anything but, but software and o/s 's are just tools, you use the tool that best does the job |
| 17:57:48 | prpplague | Tangent: the key is that hopefully that linux will continue to evol and become the tool of choice for almost everything |
| 18:04:09 | Tangent | prpplague : The thing that's annoying me is that I have 2 windows windows (1 of which is exceed) and 11 linux windows here... and I'm about to use another cracked unlicensed bit of software to get better linux interoperability going |
| 18:04:23 | Tangent | specifically NFS |
| 18:05:06 | Tangent | It bites me that it would cost around $600 to make the $300 operating system talk nicely to the free one |
| 18:05:39 | Tangent | Maybe I should just make this box dual-boot instead |
| 18:06:02 | Tangent | or more reasonably run my licensed W2K and Office2K inside my livcensed VMware for linux |
| 18:07:13 | Tangent | ponders... custom kernel so that it'll boot & install onto my raid card... need to move all 160GB of data off to somewhere else first... |
| 18:07:28 | Tangent | Actually, there's probably only 100Gb I care about |
| 18:07:56 | prpplague | Tangent: i didn't have any problems getting rhat7.1 installed onto a megaraid controler |
| 18:08:13 | Tangent | prpplague : I have a promise Fasttrack 100 card |
| 18:08:38 | Tangent | 4x46GB drives configured as 2x2 stripes... all formatted with NTFS at the moment |
| 18:08:45 | prpplague | Tangent: i'm not familiar with that |
| 18:09:03 | Tangent | prpplague : It's supported, but only within th elast couple of months |
| 18:09:13 | Tangent | prpplague : I doubt if any of the distros support it yet |
| 18:09:28 | Tangent | prpplague : I'd just make my own boot floppies these days tho |
| 18:10:02 | Tangent | If there's one thing that messing with the iPAQ and tuxscreen has taguht me, it's how to get debian booted |
| 18:10:12 | Tangent | hrm.. loadlin :) |
| 18:11:14 | Tangent | Now this bites me even more... the $125 NFS client that I found a crack for doesn't install properly (this is before the crack gets anywhere near it) |
| 18:11:41 | Tangent | prods windows with a pointy stick |
| 18:15:34 | Tangent | I am so tempted to blast windows off this box right now |
| 18:17:01 | prpplague | Tangent: you can't use smb to get it off there? |
| 18:18:50 | Tangent | prpplague : And onto where? |
| 18:19:10 | Tangent | prpplague : I have two machines with 4xdrives each... both machines are around 100Gb full |
| 18:19:25 | Tangent | prpplague : I need to do a couple of days data shuffling |
| 18:19:42 | Tangent | prpplague : I'm about to convert 40GB from NTFS to FAT |
| 18:20:59 | Tangent | could do with some perl for finding duplicate files with different names |
| 18:21:09 | prpplague | Tangent: ohh, i thought you just wanted to access the data |
| 18:21:27 | prpplague | needs to learn more perl |
| 18:21:37 | Tangent | prpplague : I've gotta make some space for a linux partition.. and that's gonna need some jiggling |
| 18:22:12 | Tangent | prpplague : I don't trust the linux raid drivers for my card to understand the current config |
| 18:43:58 | Russ|werk | imagine taht |
| 18:44:00 | Russ|werk | er, that |
| 18:44:03 | Russ|werk | a PCB release today |
| 18:46:42 | file | coughs |
| 18:53:55 | Tangent | Russ : PCB release? of what? |
| 19:02:01 | Russ|werk | harry eaton's pcb |
| 19:02:08 | file | Harry Potter? |
| 19:02:14 | Russ|werk | its only one bug fix though, thats been around for a long time |
| 19:06:13 | Tangent | searches on google... Ah.. PCB the package... |
| 19:06:25 | Tangent | I had no idea who harry eaton was |
| 19:06:49 | Tangent | nor what circuit board he was making/releasing |
| 19:11:27 | Russ|werk | he isn't making a board (that I know of) |
| 19:11:31 | Russ|werk | its a layout package |
| 19:16:12 | Tangent | Russ|werk : Nod.. I know the package... I just didn't realise that's what you were talking about until I searched with google |
| 19:16:53 | Tangent | Hrm.. I wonder what the chances are that I'm gonna totally trash this machine in about an hours time... |
| 19:16:58 | Tangent | probably pretty high |
| 19:48:57 | prpplague | Tangent: i'm sure the chances are high if you are using winblows |
| 19:49:31 | prpplague | anyone happen to see the internet appliance the home shopping network was peedling over the weekend? |
| 20:27:43 | | yes, Keyser? |
| 20:27:43 | Keyser | ibot1? |
| 20:27:49 | | it has been said that i am the evil twin with the goatee |
| 20:27:49 | Keyser | ibot1: ibot1? |
| 20:27:52 | | ibot is probably the evil twin WITHOUT the goatee |
| 20:27:52 | Keyser | ibot1: ibot? |
| 20:28:09 | | I haven't seen 'ibot', Keyser |
| 20:28:09 | Keyser | ibot1: seen ibot? |
| 20:45:08 | Tangent | prods debian with a pointy stick... |
| 20:45:26 | Tangent | Silly boot-floppies pacakge doesn't do the right thing |
| 20:57:28 | file | sighs |
| 20:57:39 | Tangent | sighs too |
| 20:57:59 | file | frowns @ the ircd |
| 20:58:13 | file | I'm trying to get my laptop to go on 'da net via my cellphone... anybody have any experience in that area? |
| 20:58:21 | Tangent | scrutinises boot floppies |
| 20:58:37 | Tangent | file : Not me |
| 20:58:45 | file | boot floppy's are good though... |
| 20:59:07 | Tangent | Would be great if they had the right kernel on... i.e. this one I just compiled |
| 20:59:17 | file | uh huh |
| 21:06:27 | file | offers Tangent a beverage |
| 21:06:40 | Tangent | file : Thanks.. I needed one |
| 21:07:36 | Tangent | file : I'm trying to make some boot floppies with Promise Fasttrack 100 support in them |
| 21:07:46 | file | uh huh |
| 21:08:19 | file | I'm trying to get somebody to look in their storage room for computer parts for me |
| 21:08:22 | file | it's a losing battle... |
| 21:08:52 | Tangent | file : Nod :( |
| 21:08:58 | file | you got anything? |
| 21:09:13 | Tangent | file : Nothing going spare |
| 21:09:20 | file | bah |
| 21:09:46 | Keyser | file: what OS is on your laptop? |
| 21:09:52 | file | Win3.1 |
| 21:10:23 | file | :) |
| 21:10:26 | Keyser | hmm. i woulda thunk that whatever device you got to connect the phone to a laptop would have instructions for windows |
| 21:10:42 | file | I need to find an external cellular modem! |
| 21:10:44 | file | but I can't find one |
| 21:11:04 | Keyser | so it's a hardware problem, not software? |
| 21:11:08 | file | yes. |
| 21:11:50 | Keyser | did you try the phone manufacturer's homepage? |
| 21:12:00 | file | ericsson? it's confusing |
| 21:12:50 | Keyser | how about your phone companies website? |
| 21:13:03 | file | Rogers? even more confusing |
| 21:13:27 | Keyser | i have motorola and verizon, and both of theirs are easily navigable. |
| 21:13:38 | file | http://www.rogers.com/ |
| 21:13:40 | file | :) |
| 21:13:45 | file | go try looking for info |
| 21:14:13 | Keyser | what model phone? |
| 21:14:18 | file | KF788 |
| 21:16:38 | Keyser | here you go: http://www.ericsson.com/US-CA/consumer/spanish/html/phones/kf788.html |
| 21:16:44 | Keyser | Conexión para |
| 21:16:44 | Keyser | su PC |
| 21:16:50 | file | spanish? |
| 21:17:09 | Keyser | don't look a gift horse in the mouth :) |
| 21:17:33 | file | yes that's my phone... |
| 21:17:35 | Tangent | Keyser : Why not? |
| 21:18:22 | Keyser | it's an expression meaning that when one recieves a gift, it is impolite to imply that you are disatisfied with it. Instead, be gracious, so that the giver thinks that you like it. |
| 21:18:33 | file | HAHA |
| 21:18:36 | file | Well I don't like it |
| 21:18:40 | file | cause I have an english link :p |
| 21:19:28 | Tangent | Keyser : If the people of troy had looked in the mouth of their gift horse, then they'd still have walls |
| 21:20:25 | Tangent | goes to sit in front of the TV for a bit |
| 21:20:27 | Keyser | hmmm. perhaps the 'don't look a gift horse' saying was propoganda spread by grecians thousands of years ago. |
| 21:21:01 | Keyser | http://www.usr.com/products/laptop/pcaccessories.asp |
| 21:21:14 | file | I DO NOT have a PCMCIA slot. |
| 21:23:54 | file | :) |
| 21:24:00 | Keyser | connect your phone to your tux, instead then. |
| 21:24:13 | file | I don't have a Tuxscreen |
| 21:24:25 | Keyser | wouldn't that be neat? a phone attached to a tuxscreen? |
| 21:24:41 | Keyser | don't have one? then get lost, kid. we're busy people. |
| 21:24:48 | file | isn't rich! |
| 21:25:27 | Keyser | sneak up behind someone that has a tuxscreen, and knock them unconscious, and then take theirs. |
| 21:25:40 | Keyser | whacks Tangent in the back of the head with a bowling pin. |
| 21:25:48 | Keyser | now, file, grab it and go! |
| 21:25:57 | file | whacks Keyser in the back of the head with a lamp |
| 21:26:09 | file | takes Keyser's Tuxscreen |
| 21:26:22 | Keyser | leaks blood all over his tuxscreen |
| 21:53:28 | file | yes it is I, file |
| 22:08:49 | Keyser | anyone know if the download page is down? ( http://tuxscreen.net/download/ ) |
| 22:09:09 | file | nope |
| 22:09:10 | file | dunno |
| 22:09:55 | Keyser | the page doesn't work for me |
| 22:10:44 | file | uh huh |
| 22:12:02 | file | nope, there's a listing of the files. |
| 22:16:58 | Keyser | it doesn't show up for me :( |
| 22:17:05 | file | does for me. |
| 22:35:54 | Keyser | my girlfriend likes her xmas present. 24x burner, it only took 3:56 to burn a CD |
| 22:36:04 | Keyser | anyone home? |
| 22:36:12 | prpplague | nobody here |
| 22:36:25 | prpplague | Keyser: burning pr0n cd's? |
| 22:36:38 | file | Failure in /dev/brain |
| 22:36:42 | file | Please insert brain |
| 22:36:48 | Keyser | nope, 'sleepy hollow', the johnny depp flick |
| 22:36:55 | prpplague | doh |
| 22:37:12 | Keyser | http://tuxscreen.net/download/ doesn't work for me, but http://www.tuxscreen.net/download/ does |
| 22:37:17 | prpplague | cat /proc/brain > /dev/nul 2>&1 |
| 22:37:39 | file | cp /boot/vmlinux /dev/brain |
| 22:37:51 | file | Found valid kernel... attempting to boot |
| 22:38:09 | file | Welcome to file version 2.02! |
| 22:38:19 | Keyser | should i get v0.5 or v0.4? on the donwload site, that is |
| 22:38:25 | file | v0.5 |
| 22:39:34 | Keyser | anyone who actually has a tux have an opinion? |
| 22:39:43 | Keyser | (just messing with you, file) |
| 22:39:46 | file | :p |
| 22:41:14 | Keyser | so, anyone know the difference between 0.4 and 0.5? the 0.5 directory has microwin in it |
| 22:43:59 | Keyser | there is also no 'tuxscreen-blob' in v0.5 |
| 22:48:06 | Keyser | what's the deal on filenames, too? in v0.3 and prior, there are 'blob', and 'zImage'. |
| 22:48:18 | file | zImage is kernel |
| 22:48:21 | file | blob is the boot loader |
| 22:49:17 | Keyser | do i need to rename the blob to 'blob' the kernal to 'zImage' and fs to 'ramdisk' before sending them to the tux? |
| 22:49:26 | file | shrugs |
| 22:49:42 | Keyser | woo-hoo, prpplague, you still here? |
| 22:49:45 | file | but be careful :) |
| 22:51:21 | prpplague | yes |
| 22:51:24 | prpplague | is here |
| 22:51:33 | Keyser | do i need to rename the blob to 'blob' the kernal to 'zImage' and fs to 'ramdisk' before sending them to the tux? |
| 22:52:17 | prpplague | naw, not that i know of, the flash doesn't really name anything |
| 22:52:26 | prpplague | the naming is really there for you |
| 22:53:02 | Keyser | okay, so 'download kernel' will tell the tux to receive a kernel, and then i just send it with the uuencode command. |
| 22:53:43 | Keyser | do you know the difference between v0.4 and v0.5? |
| 22:54:12 | Keyser | prpplague: do you know the difference between v0.4 and v0.5? |
| 22:54:15 | prpplague | Keyser: sorry i don't, i'm kinda using some hybrid stuff |
| 23:02:43 | Keyser | tuxscreen-image-jffs2 is a root file system, and that corresponds to a ramdisk, correct? |
| 23:02:54 | file | buys some stickers |
| 23:03:22 | Keyser | does microwin-image.jffs2 replace tuxscreen-image.jffs2, when using microwindows? |
| 23:05:37 | Keyser | perhaps mr.hamilton can persuade someone to talk? |
| 23:05:48 | file | Failure in /dev/speech. |
| 23:05:54 | Keyser | waves a crisp $10 bill (portraying alexander hamilton) in the air |
| 23:06:19 | file | snaps his fingers and the $10 gets lit on fire |
| 23:08:14 | prpplague | Keyser: sorry, i'm not using the base tuxscreen build, i can't help |
| 23:08:38 | Keyser | what are you using, if you don't mind my asking? |
| 23:09:27 | Keyser | i mean, if you are compiling your own kernel, or using a different filesystem, what feature is it that you need that isn't in the base build? |
| 23:12:34 | prpplague | Keyser: i'm using the tuxscreen as development platform for http://www.fic.com.tw/IA/specification.asp and http://www.inhandelectronics.com/html/elf.html |
| 23:13:56 | Keyser | ah, so no linux at all. |
| 23:14:03 | prpplague | Keyser: all linux |
| 23:14:17 | Keyser | the first link says win CE |
| 23:14:32 | Keyser | and 9x/me/00 |
| 23:14:35 | prpplague | Keyser: ya i know, someone has to port linux to these platforms |
| 23:15:18 | file | asks prpplague for a Tuxscreen |
| 23:15:23 | prpplague | lol |
| 23:15:34 | prpplague | file: aren't you still in hs? |
| 23:15:40 | Keyser | asks prpplague if he uses blob |
| 23:15:41 | file | correct. |
| 23:15:57 | Keyser | i though you were like 15? isn't it about time for college? |
| 23:16:05 | file | is 15... |
| 23:16:11 | file | college? |
| 23:16:12 | prpplague | file: think you folks would be a little concerned if you started receiveing strange packages... |
| 23:16:21 | file | they already are |
| 23:16:22 | prpplague | Keyser: yes i use blob |
| 23:16:31 | file | they didn't like it when I got my PDA, but my step-dad uses it often |
| 23:16:39 | Keyser | prpplague: disguise it as gay porn, so they don't know it's computer hardware |
| 23:16:44 | file | lol |
| 23:16:44 | prpplague | lol |
| 23:16:47 | prpplague | rofl |
| 23:17:18 | prpplague | file: "we are concernced about you, have you being doing drugs or playing D&D?" |
| 23:17:20 | file | Keyser, you have problems. |
| 23:17:44 | Keyser | don't i know it. i've had my tux for a month, and haven't even unlocked the flash yet! |
| 23:17:52 | prpplague | do |
| 23:17:53 | prpplague | doh |
| 23:17:57 | file | so give it to me |
| 23:18:09 | prpplague | Keyser: whats the matter, no 12v ps ? |
| 23:18:25 | Keyser | nope, i have a 12v battery from rad shack |
| 23:18:43 | Keyser | all i'm missing is a round tuit |
| 23:18:48 | prpplague | Keyser: is that regulated enough to do the unlock? |
| 23:19:10 | file | hopefully |
| 23:19:14 | Keyser | someone told me they used a 12v battery |
| 23:19:18 | Keyser | what did you use? |
| 23:19:54 | prpplague | i have a ps, that i have rigged up for multiple voltage output |
| 23:20:16 | prpplague | i have to dev work alot so i need a ps i can configure easily |
| 23:20:31 | Keyser | when i type "c D!blob F!all" in inferno on my pc, is "blob" a filename on the pc? |
| 23:20:48 | prpplague | that is correct |
| 23:21:20 | Keyser | so it needs to be named "blob", with no file extension? |
| 23:21:42 | prpplague | that is the way it is built from the make |
| 23:22:01 | prpplague | gotta run guys, catcha later |
| 23:31:01 | Keyser | just installed inferno. gotta reboot. |
| 23:36:16 | file | worked? |
| 23:36:45 | Keyser | don't know yet |
| 23:47:47 | Keyser | is the tuxscreen supposed to be black whilst running inferno? |
| 23:48:37 | Keyser | i connected phone to pc, ran inferno, typed the command i am supposed to. |
| 23:48:51 | Keyser | then reset tux, hit esc and ctrl-a, and then the phone goes black |
| 23:49:03 | bhima | tries to remember... |
| 23:49:59 | bhima | can you give me the URL for the directions you're following? |
| 23:50:03 | Keyser | hey, long time no see. i meant to ask how installing the tux in your car is going (/has gone) |
| 23:50:06 | bhima | will try to folow them and see. |
| 23:50:07 | Keyser | http://www.tuxscreen.net/wiki/view/Main/InfernoRemote |
| 23:50:11 | Keyser | cool, thanks |
| 23:50:26 | bhima | well, I have the power supply working. |
| 23:50:34 | bhima | need to do cabling level stuff and then it should be happy. |
| 23:50:37 | Keyser | what did you use for a PS? |
| 23:50:50 | bhima | used a pair of surplus dc/dc converters from mpja.com. |
| 23:50:57 | bhima | used diodes in series with one of them to drop 5v to 3.3v :) |
| 23:51:08 | Keyser | ah. |
| 23:51:49 | bhima | I think it's still supposed to be black. |
| 23:51:49 | Keyser | a coworker thinks he can get me 'samples' from newark.com, so i've been browsing their catalog for dc<->dc converters |
| 23:51:57 | Keyser | okay |
| 23:52:08 | Keyser | should i see a menu on the inferno program on the pc? |
| 23:52:12 | bhima | I can probably get some samples too. but sometimes that's more trouble than it's worth. |
| 23:52:16 | bhima | on the PC you get a command line. |
| 23:52:33 | Keyser | because the last line i see is <sa1100_setbps 115200><bps=115200> |
| 23:52:53 | bhima | I'm wondering if I should stick an empeg in my dash and a tuxscreen under the seat. didn't want to run the LCD cable out that long, dunno if it will be happy or not. |
| 23:53:13 | Keyser | what's the next step on inferno? |
| 23:53:44 | bhima | can you type commands? |
| 23:53:58 | Keyser | i dunno |
| 23:54:11 | Keyser | do i do the 'c D!blob F!all' right now |
| 23:54:12 | Keyser | ? |
| 23:54:35 | bhima | I think so. argh. but I can't remember. I am too forgetful :/ |
| 23:54:55 | bhima | I know that when you are in remote mode, the tuxscreen doesn't interact with you. inferno remote does. |
| 23:55:57 | Keyser | 'P/m' should list partitions, when using inferno, correct? |
| 23:56:35 | Keyser | there is no prompt on inferno, i just type, and nothing happens |
| 23:56:47 | bhima | ahh. that doesn't sound right, no. |
| 23:57:48 | Keyser | reset didn't do anything. i had to unplug it |
| 23:58:03 | Keyser | no it went to a screen called 'software download' |
| 23:58:15 | Keyser | it has 3 buttons, connect, details, cancel |
| 23:58:52 | Keyser | do i need to shut down inferno on the pc when rebooting the tux? |
| 23:59:33 | bhima | try cancel. |
| 23:59:53 | bhima | you may need to type the magic connect commands on the PC again after you reboot. |
