| 00:23:10 | scanline | is away: food-like doodads |
| 00:23:23 | | hola, TomW |
| 00:23:23 | TomW | andersee: hello |
| 00:40:45 | scanline | is back (gone 00:17:35) |
| 00:49:05 | andersee | TomW: howdy |
| 00:49:35 | TomW | hi, be back to you in a bit. My brother phone me.. |
| 00:49:43 | TomW | s/phone/phoned/ |
| 01:16:50 | TomW | andersee: Ok, my brother in Alabama, we get to hook up once in a while. How do I get CVS write priv's? I have a sourceforge account and I have some changes to the buuildroot makefile tree that I would like to submit. What is the process here? |
| 01:23:49 | fontenot | dont tell me you already have tinyx building in buildroot |
| 01:24:28 | TomW | no, I put the blob-2.0.5-pre3 and jflash cvs into the make tree. |
| 01:25:11 | TomW | nothing major, just make/blob.mk make/jflash.mk and patchfile. |
| 01:26:26 | fontenot | well that's pretty cool |
| 01:26:35 | TomW | fontenot: I've been running around today with errands, and I have to get ready to teach a linux beginners course on Monday night, not much time for Tux stuff. |
| 01:27:16 | fontenot | ah :-\ |
| 01:27:39 | fontenot | how often are you teaching? |
| 01:27:48 | GPSFan_ | TomW: hi, did you ever get chkmem to work, I rebuilt blob with chkmem enabled and when I run it I get interesting results. |
| 01:28:17 | TomW | It will be two, two hour classes per week and I think it goes for 6 weeks. |
| 01:29:13 | fontenot | cool |
| 01:29:32 | TomW | GPSFan_: I was working at cleaning up the blob makefile stuff so we could put it into the buildroot cvs. Haven't had the chance to test it on a "broken" unit yet. |
| 01:30:17 | TomW | fontenot: There is no course outline, no instructor materials, just interested students and a dumb instructor (dumb to have accepted the job?). |
| 01:30:41 | TomW | fontenot: Oh, and 1/2 computer per student. |
| 01:31:11 | GPSFan_ | k, it seems to crash when it tries to test memory at 0xc8000000. also interesting that blob won't run if there is not memory at 0xc8000000. |
| 01:32:08 | TomW | GPSFan_: check to see where they put the stack when they run the checkmem, they may put it into a location where there is no RAM. |
| 01:32:27 | GPSFan_ | good point I'll look... |
| 01:33:25 | TomW | fontenot: So, I got a copy of Linux for Dummies, that may become the class study material! |
| 01:33:34 | TomW | :-D |
| 01:42:33 | TomW | GPSFan_: that chkmem test doesn't work even on a good board. It tests the first bank fine, then goes into an endless loop on the second bank of 4Meg. |
| 02:03:53 | fontenot | andersee: how close are we to wchar support in uclibc? |
| 02:04:47 | fontenot | TomW: heh. how is that ook? |
| 02:04:50 | fontenot | book |
| 02:05:56 | TomW | just briefly glanced throught it before I bought it, seems ok. It comes with a RedHat 7.0 three CD set. |
| 02:06:09 | TomW | $30 |
| 02:07:50 | fontenot | i tend to ignore cds that come with books - they are always so old |
| 02:08:12 | fontenot | i believe redhat is beta testing 7.3 now |
| 02:08:42 | fontenot | you could make your own cds for the class pretty cheaply |
| 02:10:58 | TomW | agreed, I have Mandrake 8.2 ISO images here, and a CD-RW. |
| 02:15:15 | fontenot | and blank cds are like 25 cents or less these days |
| 02:22:18 | GPSFan_ | TomW: I've seen the same sort of thing, this is a good sign. (I hope) |
| 02:23:53 | TomW | is away: dinner |
| 02:59:02 | andersee | fontenot: the initial bit (stdio rework) is already in. Hopefully the full locale support will be going in the next week... |
| 03:02:00 | fontenot | andersee: all I need (I think) is the wc* fincs |
| 03:02:07 | fontenot | like wctombs() et al. |
| 03:02:30 | fontenot | that will make xfree compilation hopefully easy enough to put into buildroot |
| 03:04:02 | fontenot | maybe that's wcstombs |
| 03:04:37 | fontenot | must...have...appetizer |
| 03:14:43 | andersee | Those will probably be going in this coming week... |
| 03:23:55 | andersee | fontenot: I expect for the moment, it should be easy enough to apply a patch.... |
| 04:25:14 | GPSFan | 12345 |
| 04:25:28 | | bonjour, GPSFan |
| 04:25:28 | GPSFan | hi |
| 04:37:22 | GPSFan | is away: I'm busy |
| 04:37:30 | GPSFan | is back (gone 00:00:08) |
| 05:26:24 | TomW | andersee: you takin' patches for buildroot? |
| 05:28:55 | andersee | sure. |
| 05:29:03 | andersee | buildroot-tux I presume you mean? |
| 05:29:32 | andersee | I have a seperate buildroot (from which I derived buildroot-tux) which needs a bit of an overhaul |
| 05:29:48 | TomW | yup. I am just packaging now. Added make/jflash to pull from cvs, rewrote make/blob to pull from cvs. |
| 05:30:17 | TomW | selectable from main Makefile. |
| 05:30:34 | TomW | do you DCC? |
| 05:30:49 | andersee | I need to teach my firewall about that some time... |
| 05:31:04 | andersee | Do you not have a sourceforge acct? |
| 05:31:07 | TomW | or, give TomWalsh cvs commit. |
| 05:31:22 | TomW | Yes, but that account won't take a commit. |
| 05:31:37 | TomW | ... or I need to ssh with cvs to commit? |
| 05:36:09 | andersee | You need to use cvs via ssh to commit |
| 05:36:36 | TomW | Ok, just located some docs abt sf, this is my first experience with sf. |
| 05:54:29 | TomW | andersee: ok, that works. just get an odd error: "Could not chdir to home directory /home/users/t/to/tomwalsh: No such file or directory", but it works, I can update now. Do you get that error message? |
| 06:01:07 | andersee | I had to do somethingorother to make it go away... |
| 06:06:03 | TomW | k |
| 06:19:12 | TomW | grrrrrrr! |
| 06:36:16 | TomW | andersee: you made an .ssh directory and populated it with an ssh key? |
| 06:39:09 | scanline | is away: ZzZzZzzzzz |
| 06:39:28 | andersee | There is a web interface to so that. otherwise (apparently) .ssh gets wiped |
| 07:05:52 | scanline | is back (gone 00:26:42) |
| 09:17:34 | scanline | is away: ZzZzZzzz again |
| 11:00:53 | TomW | Anyone have any idea why the blob (jflash) splash screen stuff is commented out? Does it work, or is it broken? |
