06:48.31fog_proxyhi all.Is there any lpd server without spooling?
07:07.57TimRikerfog_proxy: just install the lpr tools and don't run lpr.
07:08.03TimRikerer lpd
07:08.59TimRikerlprng allows the syntax: lpr -P queue@lp.example.com  with no local queue.
07:30.52fog_proxyTimRiker, lprng can print without spool enabled?
07:31.14fog_proxyTimRiker, i mean the host spool
07:31.27TimRikeryes.
07:32.05TimRikerthe debian lprng package asks if you want to run the local daemon or not. I always say no.
07:33.29fog_proxyTimRiker, I think that is just disable the local queue,but remote lpd still need it,right?
07:34.13fog_proxyTimRiker, lpr is just a client program,it will send request to remote lpd,which act as a server.What I want is remove the spool in server side
07:34.38fog_proxyTimRiker, since my system is embeded,it have no spaces for spooling
07:34.52TimRikerfog_proxy: huh? and do what? expose the printer port as a tcp port of something?
07:35.21kergothyou'll have _serious_ flow control issues with that. override the server side buffer by sending it data faster than it can print
07:35.24kergothheh
07:35.43kergothunless lprng can do that of course.
07:36.45fog_proxyTimRiker, just open a tcp port as printer server
07:37.10fog_proxykergoth, we can just handle one request at one time
07:37.22kergothhm?
07:37.30kergothi'm talking about flow control of a single job.
07:38.03fog_proxykergoth, oh,i am sorry,i misunderstood it
07:38.30fog_proxykergoth, so,is there any patch to disable lprng's spooling?
07:40.24fog_proxykergoth, or i need change it by myself?
07:41.46kergothno idea. just pointing out a possible complication of such a thing.
07:41.53kergothrtfm
07:43.27fog_proxyanyway,thanks
07:43.54TimRikerlpr_bounce might be what you want. never tried it for a local port.
07:45.08fog_proxyTimRiker, fine,i will check it first
07:45.34TimRikerfog_proxy: hmm. gues that only works for lpr run on the local machine. won't help you.
07:52.16TimRikerhttp://www.etherboot.org/p910nd/ does raw port 910x printing. but that's not an lpr interface.
07:58.12fog_proxyTimRiker, Can it handle lpr request?
08:03.53TimRikerno.
08:04.02TimRikerjust raw 9100 printing.
08:04.41fog_proxyTimRiker, so,if i use windows,i can not use lpd print,right?
08:04.46TimRikersounds like a simple applet to add to busybox though. a non-spooling lpd ;-) I'd write one if someone would pay me.
08:05.12fog_proxy:D
08:05.26TimRikerfog_proxy: well, some jet direct cards only offer 9100 "direct tcp printing" so I suspect there's a way to get windows to talk to one.
08:06.04TimRikerdon't know how though. lprng on another linux box would be able to. theres a host%port syntax for lprng
08:06.43fog_proxyTimRiker, ok,it should be a good example to study and development myself

15:38.39prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
15:38.45CosmicPenguinWhat are they going to do - fire you?
15:38.47CosmicPenguinseriously
15:38.53prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
15:39.05prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, they could
15:39.12kergothheh, i have a doc review today
15:39.14prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe, since i'll still be working for them
15:39.16kergothbleh
15:39.23prpplaguekergoth: hehe, those are fun
15:39.30kergoththankfully its an easy one
15:39.42kergothtouchscreen driver.  just talks to the input layer
15:39.45CosmicPenguinkergoth: and I assume most of the attendees are linux savy?
15:39.49kergothdoesnt even talk to the hardware, there's a seperate chip core driver for that
15:45.16CosmicPenguinAll of my doc reviews have been with mostly windows engineers, but a good smattering of guys that stopped at DOS 5 for good measure
15:45.26prpplagueCosmicPenguin: my brother has some new photos up, http://www.vision-photography.net
15:45.39prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe
15:45.47prpplagueCosmicPenguin: and how does that usually go?
15:45.47kergothCosmicPenguin: yeah, its generally a bunch of linux saavy coworkers, and my boss, who has clue
15:46.08CosmicPenguinprpplague: heh, what a life... :)
15:46.26prpplaguekergoth: when i was at abcs i used to have to write the docs on like a 5th grade level
15:46.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe, yea
15:47.05prpplagueCosmicPenguin: and you believe those chicks actually pay him big $$ to do those photos
15:47.05CosmicPenguinWhen you have to start every talk with a 30 minute blurb on the difference between kernel and usespace, its not going to be a productive meeting
15:47.11CosmicPenguinprpplague: oh, I'm sure
15:47.42kergothjeeze.  my doc reviews its like "this uses the input layer. you know the input layer, right? if not, go read the Documentation/input/ directory in your kernel tree.  now, on to the internals.."
15:47.52prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hehe, and i'm sure he's slept with more than 50% of them
15:48.16kergothprpplague: nice.  a good friend of mine does photography of women too.  what a life.
15:48.18CosmicPenguinAnd I had to chose the glamor of computer programming instead
15:48.19kergothbastards
15:48.26prpplaguekergoth: hehe you'd have a cow over some of the docs at abcs

16:01.03CosmicPenguinmmm... ginsing
16:06.01CosmicPenguinkergoth: what do you know about XCB?
16:06.06prpplague"The statement went on to say that Cuba is the only Latin American country that fights inequality and has the fairest income distribution in the world."
16:06.13prpplagueright....everyone is poor
16:06.28CosmicPenguinThat question is for mallum too - he's a fd.o fella
16:07.44mallumCosmicPenguin: XCB is a new API to X Protocol
16:07.54mallumCosmicPenguin: think xlib not written in the 1980's
16:08.14CosmicPenguinmallum: xlib compatbile?
16:08.29mallumCosmicPenguin: I think the is an xlib compat layer over the top of it
16:08.52mallumCosmicPenguin: main prob atm with it is much of the extensions dont yet have xcb counterparts
16:08.56prpplaguei've been to cuba, and when you can trade a tube of tooth paste for a enough to live like a king, you'd have to say thats poor
16:09.10CosmicPenguinmallum: but beyond that, its usuable?
16:09.27mallumCosmicPenguin: yeah I think so. Im not sure what extensions are missing
16:09.40mallumCosmicPenguin: something like MITSHM is pretty important
16:10.03mallumI've been getting into GL stuff lately
16:10.43CosmicPenguinmallum: thanks.  My boss is all of a sudden very excited about things like Cairo and Xserver
16:11.53mallumCosmicPenguin: ah cool

17:44.21cdmkergoth: at QNX we solved this issue by having a module of code that ran before the kernel.  That kept all this cruft out of the kernel debates.

17:45.02prpplaguecdm: for several of our projects we did chain bootloaders
17:45.22cdmbut, there has been too much cohesion within the linux kernel.
17:45.23prpplaguecdm: proprietary bl -> OSS bootloader -> kernel
17:45.41cdmprpplague: yeah.  I have done that as well.
17:45.44CosmicPenguinprpplague: well, thats basically the x86 boot process, right?  :)
17:45.46prpplaguecdm: blob lends itself to being booted from another bootloader
17:45.58cdmbut it isn't a replacement for a well defined kernel interface.
17:46.04prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, just not too common in the arm realm
17:46.13CosmicPenguinprpplague: for good reason
17:46.15CosmicPenguinit sucks
17:46.17cdmwhich the Linux kernel didn't need at first so has never been done right.
17:47.03prpplagueCosmicPenguin: just seems odd to me that there is so much contention between the bootloader dev and kernel dev
17:47.30prpplagueas pb_ pointed out, i guess i'm biased since the bootloader and kernel dev for me has been done together
17:47.46CosmicPenguinprpplague: well, on x86, the problem was that so much of the code has spawned from the same IP base
17:48.04CosmicPenguinAnd its taken us literally years to get out from underneath that
17:48.33CosmicPenguinAt least with our BIOS team, the answer hasn't been "we wont", but rather "we can't"
17:49.26prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea, the bios for lots of the geode based POS we used was issue
17:49.36CosmicPenguinprpplague: its *far* better today
17:51.09CosmicPenguinAnd at least we have an in-house team.  I'm not sure if Via does or if they farm it out
17:57.00T0mWprpplague: LPC2138FBD64 : 512KB Flash 32MB RAM, Flash is a bit too large and the RAM is a bit too small, 256KB + 64KB would fit me better, but..

18:03.33hardwirethis starband 380 series modem has a motorola MC68EN
18:03.44hardwireand a few fun DSP's from TI
18:04.35hardwireit would be fun to download the firmware via the JTAG and have a crack at it
18:04.48hardwirethe JTAG can do that I assume.
18:05.26T0mWhardwire: if they publish the JTAG chain info
18:05.50hardwiregonna guess.. no..
18:06.29T0mWhardwire: JTAG is made up of multiple chains, some chains access internal debug registers, other do the commonly known BOUNDRY SCAN (pins), etc.
18:07.02T0mWhardwire: a chain is nothing more than a "shift register chain"
18:07.36T0mWhardwire: prpplague knows more than I do about JTAG
18:07.55hardwireits like.. DNA!

19:10.24hardwire<*shamed*>
19:10.27hardwireI should
19:10.29hardwireI know it
19:12.17hardwirebah..
19:18.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm waiting for pixar to start doing pr0n movies
19:23.40CosmicPenguinwow
19:23.48CosmicPenguinthat would be interesting
19:23.51CosmicPenguinAnd anatomically correct
19:24.53hardwireinterestingly enough
19:25.17hardwirepeople ask me how I am doing.. I respond
19:25.22hardwirethen ask if I am busy.. I say yes..
19:25.33hardwireand then start talking about things that don't involve me
19:25.41hardwireyes.. I am sorry your knee hurts.
19:25.47hardwirebut.. I am busy
19:26.27hardwirewhats even funnier.. is that I do that.. and then tell an IRC server and channel all this useless junk
19:26.43hardwireand then somebody on IRC picks up a phone.. :)
19:26.57hardwirejava is kicking in.
19:27.05hardwiresuper hardwire mode activated
19:27.24hardwireCosmicPenguin: dealt with debian and squashfs/unionfs?
19:30.11CosmicPenguinhardwire: debian no
19:30.22CosmicPenguinhardwire: squasfs and unionfs - yes, very much so
19:30.27hardwireok
19:30.42hardwireI finally got unionfs into the initrd
19:30.50CosmicPenguinsqashfs is my primary embedded filesystem, and I use as much as  Ican
19:30.51hardwirefor debians kernel installer
19:30.58hardwirethat took some reseach because I am not used to it
19:31.13hardwirebut finding a way to mount it before mtab needed to be there.. was stupidly difficult
19:31.57CosmicPenguinYou coulnd't just use -n on mount?
19:32.00hardwireit looks like I just needed to add a mount script to rcS
19:32.07hardwirethat did just that
19:32.12hardwiremount -a -t squashfs -n
19:32.35hardwireany way to recreate an mtab from /proc/partitions that looks good and not funky?
19:32.56hardwireif that question made no sense raise your hand.
19:33.39hardwireI think what I need to do to get this working is set up a base debian image.
19:33.45hardwirethen lock it down into a suqashfs
19:34.04hardwirepartition 2
19:34.08hardwirepartition 1 is /boot
19:34.24hardwirethen partition 3 is all the changes.
19:35.14hardwireb/me stops bugging the channel
19:35.24hardwireI know what needs to be done.. theorizing won't help
19:35.32CosmicPenguinyeah, that sounds about right to me
19:35.36hardwirewell
19:35.58hardwirewhen I am ready to push a filesystem - the network settings to a CF
19:36.01hardwireI am going to make one huge squashfs.
19:36.07hardwireand then another partition that is a tarfile
19:36.16hardwirethat extracts into a tmpfs
19:36.30hardwirethen gets added to the unionfs as the write layer.
19:36.39CosmicPenguinYou don't need to do that second step
19:36.47hardwirea script save-settings.sh should retar it to make it solid
19:37.21hardwireCosmicPenguin: you saying just make an ext2 partition instead of a tarfile?
19:37.27CosmicPenguinwell, you can do that
19:37.29CosmicPenguinI guess
19:37.34hardwirewhat would you suggest?
19:37.38CosmicPenguinI can see why you want the tarfile now
19:37.52hardwireyeh.
19:38.10hardwireI want to be able to wipe it with a clean slate if reset_settings=1 is on the cmdline
19:38.16CosmicPenguinI mean, you could do ext2, but we all know why thats a bad idea
19:38.19hardwirew/o having to execute an ext2 format
19:38.30hardwireCosmicPenguin: fsck count?
19:38.35CosmicPenguinlifetime
19:38.47hardwireah
19:38.47hardwireheh
19:38.52hardwireI could always squashfs to the partition
19:39.07hardwiremount it under /mnt/tmp-settings
19:39.15hardwirecp -a to tmpfs mount
19:39.20hardwireadd tmpfs mount to unionfs
19:39.30hardwirethen save-settings.sh will mksquashfs of the tmpfs
19:39.35hardwiredirectly back to the partition
19:39.41hardwiretar would be just as easy I suppose
19:39.43hardwireand quicker.
19:39.56CosmicPenguinIn that case, I wouldn't unionfs the tmpfs mount
19:40.05hardwireI need to
19:40.05CosmicPenguinbind mount it instead - it would be easier
19:40.10hardwirehmm
19:40.13hardwirebind mounting would be fine
19:40.17hardwireas long as I know what I want to change
19:40.27hardwirehmm
19:40.27CosmicPenguinYou would just tar up the whole thing, though, right?
19:40.39CosmicPenguinSo untar to tmpfs, do stuff, and then tar back up
19:40.40hardwirejust the changes I make to the squashfs
19:40.49hardwireCosmicPenguin: tar it back up once its solid.. yes..
19:40.50CosmicPenguinOh....  ok
19:40.54hardwirehowever
19:40.58hardwirethat doesn't solve /var issues
19:41.03CosmicPenguinSo you're just taring changes?
19:41.10hardwireCosmicPenguin: yeh.
19:41.17CosmicPenguinYeah, i think that would work out fine, then
19:41.23hardwirewhat about /var/log
19:41.29CosmicPenguinThats an interesting way to do it - hadn't thought about that
19:41.35hardwireCosmicPenguin: well I do smoke crack
19:41.45CosmicPenguinI don't store a /var/log on my images - no need
19:41.52CosmicPenguinlogread is there if I need it
19:41.56hardwireyou have syslog redirect to broadcast?
19:42.07hardwirewhat about /var/run ?
19:42.10hardwireis that a tmpfs?
19:42.21CosmicPenguinyeah - all of /var is a tmpfs
19:42.42hardwireCosmicPenguin: really.. weird.. dunno how debian will deal with that :)
19:42.46CosmicPenguinYou're obviously ggoing to going to pick and chose the directories you want to tar
19:43.00CosmicPenguinHow much of /var would you really want to save through a reboot anyway?
19:43.16hardwireCosmicPenguin: through a reboot.. not much
19:43.27CosmicPenguinSo you don't worry about it then
19:43.39hardwireCosmicPenguin: I also don't want to bind mount /etc/network/
19:43.49hardwirebecause so much of /etc/ needs to change
19:43.56CosmicPenguinyeah
19:44.07hardwireso thats where the unionfs comes in
19:44.09CosmicPenguinyou're almost going to need a manifest of things to copy
19:44.20hardwirestore a debian image at default settings acceptable for the SBC
19:44.31hardwireas well as acceptable to use in qemu
19:44.41CosmicPenguinOr you could hack up things so that the changes are saved in $HOME
19:44.46CosmicPenguinand then unionfs those
19:44.51hardwireyou mean symlinnk /etc/quagga
19:44.52hardwireheh
19:44.56hardwireand /etc/network/interfaces
19:45.01CosmicPenguinsymlinks are a bad idea, imho
19:45.03hardwireI don't want that
19:45.23hardwirea saved tmpfs of /etc/ will suffice.
19:45.26hardwireactually
19:45.28hardwireof /
19:45.34hardwirethat way if something does get written that I don't know about
19:45.38hardwirefailure will not be an issue
19:45.46hardwirethe only real problem then is ram
19:45.55CosmicPenguinWell, you should only unionfs the stuff you can afford to have changed
19:46.05CosmicPenguinThats why I don't unionfs my entire root like the other OE images do
19:46.07hardwireCosmicPenguin: but unionfs / is neat :)
19:46.20CosmicPenguinmy users are stupid
19:46.26hardwirehaha
19:46.27CosmicPenguinstupid beats out neat every day, and twice on sunday
19:46.50hardwireI don't expect anybody but myself to grok this
19:46.55hardwiresince its a proprietary system
19:47.10hardwireI do believe in order to save ram
19:47.31CosmicPenguinSit down and think about which directories are really going to be changed
19:47.37hardwireI will keep around 50 megs aside for an ext partition
19:47.42hardwirethat gets formateted every boot
19:47.46hardwireand populated w/ the tar
19:47.54hardwireas silly as that sounds.
19:48.04hardwirebecause these mofos only have 64 megs of ram.
19:48.06CosmicPenguinI do something similar
19:48.10CosmicPenguinAnd it pisses me off
19:48.18hardwireand I don't need some runaway program killing my ram
19:48.21hardwirewell.. my tmpfs
19:48.22CosmicPenguinbut I like your idea of regenerating the filesystem
19:48.24hardwirelimited as it is
19:48.28hardwirewell then
19:48.29hardwireif you like it
19:48.31hardwireI like it
19:48.36hardwireI trust my cosmic entities.
19:48.36CosmicPenguinyou could even do it with ext2
19:48.41hardwireminix!
19:48.44hardwirethe only way.
19:48.57hardwireI have 1 gig of CF to work with here
19:49.02hardwirenot like I am hurting for HDD
19:49.02CosmicPenguinThen you wouldn't need to go through that frickin fsck stuff
19:49.12hardwireCosmicPenguin: yeh.
