00:01.52pb_reenoo: night
00:01.57florianpb_: I see a ioctl that looks good... but iwlist wlan0 scanning fails
00:02.07pb_ah, what does it say?
00:02.38herzihi florian
00:04.20florianpb_: "Interface doesn't support scanning..."
00:04.32pb_hm, that sounds bad.  you're definitely using hostap, not orinoco?
00:04.53florianpb_: yes, it has _many_ ioctls
00:05.04pb_SIOCSIWSCAN is the important one for that.
00:05.14pb_Does it say "Operation not supported", or something else?
00:06.02florianpb_: "invalid Argument"
00:06.17pb_If you have your h5500 on hand, I know that the atmel driver in hh36 works with iwlist scan.
00:06.29pb_Let me look at hostap and see if I can see a cause for that.
00:07.15pb_florian: do any debugging messages appear in dmesg?
00:07.28florianok, i used latest release from their website and current unstable wireless-tools
00:08.26pb_ah, ok.  I was looking at the version in handhelds.org cvs, though I think they should be similar.
00:10.32florianpb_: something strange happened: removed the card, put it back: scanning worked in default mode (master, essid "test"). switching to manged mode it stopped working.
00:10.52pb_ah, that's strange indeed.
00:10.59pb_what firmware versions does your card have?
00:12.39florianNIC 4.2.1 PRI 4.4.1 STA 7.28.1
00:14.04pb_There's a bit of code in prism2_ioctl_siwscan() to select a different scan method depending on the STA version.  You could try commenting that out and making it use the _scan() version all the time.
00:14.44pb_I think that code is a fairly new addition.  The version in our CVS doesn't have that.
00:17.12florianSounds like a good idea... i think i'll try that... but after some sleep.
00:17.42pb_Okay :-)
00:18.24pb_All my prism cards are at the Nexus office at the moment, but I will try this myself on Monday.
00:20.31florianYep... when this works it should be easy to make prismstumbler using this feature for speed and fallback.
00:21.13pb_Right.

10:57.33florianeh morning
10:57.39DebolazAny happy surprises for me regarding aerial? :)
10:58.26florianDebolaz: not yet, but i started to work on it...
11:02.57pigeoncan I ask why the year view in gpe-calendar is gone?
11:22.09florianhmmm... interesting question
11:23.36pigeoni'm still disappointed with 0.7.2's gpe. :\
11:26.18florianThis is not good! What is wrong?

15:02.38florian_mallum: hi
15:02.48mallumhey florian_
15:04.18florian_mallum: I suffer from the same problem Libor reported... my problem is that i have no connection to my ipaq, so debugging needs to wait until tomorrow.
15:05.02mallumflorian_: hmm, it should work fine with a non composite server
15:05.10mallumflorian_: what exactly happens ?
15:05.56mallumflorian_: mb crashes ?
15:06.21florian_mallum: I'm not sure, tried to log in as root (for the first time) and got the common question dialogs - but without decoration. so it looks like a matchbox crash.
15:06.45mallumflorian_: I think the common questions come up before hand
15:06.54mallumflorian_: before mathcbox
15:07.14mallumflorian_: normally a matchbox crash drops you back to login
15:09.05florian_mallum: this is what happens now... and it happens fast
15:11.04mallumflorian_: okey, lemme test
15:11.22mallumflorian_: last time I tried it against a non-composite server it worked fine
15:11.29mallumflorian_: I will test now
15:12.18florian_mallum: ok, great... if this doesn't give clue i'll try to look for details on my ipaq tomorrow
15:12.52mallumflorian_: yeah that'd be cool. I build in protection for this kind of thing so it probably something silly I can fix quickly
15:13.06mallums/build/built/
15:14.25mallumflorian_: its also possible its something else crashing matchbox
15:15.47pb_There does seem to be a sporadic problem with matchbox crashing on the very first login.  I've never been all that worried about it, though, because it always seems to work fine after that, and most users think that's just the way it's intended to work.
15:17.11mallumhmm, before this matchbox the only way I new of tyo crash it was to open a window and close it really quickly. But thats fixed now
15:21.40*** join/#gpe destroyed (~destroyer@031.a.002.syd.iprimus.net.au)
15:32.20mallumflorian_: I ran a CM matchbox throguh a full test suite run against XNest ( ie no composite ) and it was fine
15:35.34florian_mallum: ok, then i think it is something else... i'll try to find out what happens tomorrow.
15:36.00mallumflorian_: there were other changes in matchbox so it could be that crashing it
15:36.38*** join/#gpe jg__ (~jg@h005018015b26.ne.client2.attbi.com)
15:36.46mallumflorian_: it could also be a server crash rather than a matchbox one
15:38.16mallumflorian_: I got this gps now and the software has maps for all of Europe, I wonder how hard it would be to reverse engineer the format of the maps so they could be converted for use with free software ?
15:42.44florian_mallum: i never headr of someone who had success... but it might be worth a try. would be cool to access vector maps :-)

16:04.51TyggerBobHey Mallum:
16:05.33mallumhey TyggerBob
16:05.51TyggerBobGuess I missed Florian, eh?
16:06.12pb_heh.  so it seems.
16:06.22TyggerBobNo problem..
16:06.28TyggerBobhad two minutes between parental duties :)
16:06.49TyggerBoblogging this channel anyway, just in case some interesting info floats by
16:07.40mallumTyggerBob: we live in hope ;-)
16:30.33mallumpb_: for 2.6 to work on debian is there any extra packages you need to downlaod ?
16:30.55pb_you'll need module-init-tools, but other than that it should be ok
16:31.27mallumpb_: ah cool, I new there was something

17:42.01pb_mallum: what's the latest situation with your touchscreen-calibrating extension?
17:44.13mallumpb_: atm I kind of resorted to the feeling that to it without Xinput its gonna be just as nasty as just doing it on a seperate vt
17:44.31mallumpb_: except a lot more more work
17:45.18pb_ah
17:47.18mallumpb_: I think it'd be easier to work round the current rotation matching problem by means of a switch/env var to ts_calibrate
17:51.17pb_What was the problem with the extension?  It sounded like you had it almost finished last time we spoke about it.
17:52.03mallumpb_: I had it working in terms of being able to toggle the ts filtering on off via a client
17:52.45mallumpb_: but it seems the mi layer does its own filtering so unfiltered ts co-ords would get clipped to screen invalidating them
17:53.29pb_Ah, right.  I thought you were going to supply the unfiltered coordinates as a special event type to avoid that.
17:53.34mallumpb_: so you'd have to generate special events at which time you wouldn't get normal events
17:53.43mallumnormal mouse events
17:55.41mallumpb_: I can send you the stuff I have if you want. but to me it all seems just as hacky as switching vt's
17:56.18mallumpb_: except switching vt's is alot simpler and maybe even safer
18:04.43pb_Mmm.  It'd be interesting to look at the code, yeah.
18:15.35mallumpb_: okey I uploaded tarball to http://freedesktop.org/~mallum/tslibext-hacks.tar.gz
18:16.13mallumpb_: there are two xlibs dirs for extension headers and client lib, and a server dir for the server side part of the extension
18:17.39pb_cool, thanks
18:17.58mallumpb_: I really think if you wanna do calibration within X effort would be better spent looking at XInput
18:26.45mallumpb_: oh and Id really appreciate if you could still keep tslib still working in X without the extension
18:31.25pb_sure.  I can't imagine tslib would ever require the extension.
18:34.54mallumyeah I mean the hw/kdrive/linux/tslib.c driver stuff, just #ifdef any extra calibration bits - I dont think it should be much anyway

18:52.41pb_sure

19:02.20luc_hi all
20:24.27pigeonhmm, pcmcia suspend/resume not working is a known issue now in latest familiar?
20:50.25pb_hi luc_
20:50.32pb_pigeon: not that I know of.
20:56.28Debolazpb_: What do you think of making a feed like "unstable-but-stuff-you-need-to-make-stuff-work"? Ie, so I won't have to install packages manually from the unstable feed to make say bluetooth work with hh35.
20:57.01pb_Debolaz: that's approximately what 0.7.2 is supposed to be.
20:58.17DebolazIs it though? I recall updating the kernel and bluetooth not functioning with gpe.
20:58.56pb_The new gpe-bluetooth isn't in 0.7.2 because it doesn't work at all for some people.
20:59.23pb_actually, it doesn't work at all for Jamey, but it seems to be okay other than that.
21:00.31DebolazI have a more gpe related question too. When I first install the system, the battery dock will give me a picture of a battery when I click it, but when it's removed and I have to readd it, it will only give me an orange box when I click it.
21:00.38DebolazWhy?
21:00.55pb_I guess those are two different battery applets.
21:01.16pb_The first one is probably minibat, and the second one is most likely miniapm.
21:01.45DebolazHow do I get minibat back if not from the Add menu?
21:02.02pb_You might have to invoke it from the command line.
21:02.36pb_When you say "it's removed", do you mean it's crashing?
21:03.01DebolazIn this particular case, I removed it manually, but it has crashed before.
21:03.41pb_Okay.  Well, please file a bug report next time that happens, and mention what the circumstances were.
21:06.22Debolaz</whine>

21:11.28Debolazpb_: Btw, with hh36, it's indeed possible to shut down the wifi scanner, but you have to bring eth0 up first before bringing it down (Even though the scanner is on by default)
21:11.59pb_Hm, right.  It sounds like something is still not quite right there, then.
21:12.21DebolazAnd ifconfig eth0 up will not make the led start blinking again.
21:12.21mallumDebolaz: sqlite is just sql, you can hack it from the cmd line
21:15.09Debolazpb_: iwlist scan makes it blink though.
21:18.02pb_Debolaz: maybe you'd like to fix that.
21:18.33mallumDebolaz: yeah add it to your list ... how is that going btw ?
21:19.06Debolazmallum: I can add that to my list right after making the entire kernel compile. :)
21:19.26DebolazWhich is a time issue, not a technical. :)
21:38.17pigeonpb_: hmm
21:38.35pigeonpb_: it doesn't work well after suspend and resume :\
21:40.01pb_pigeon: can you be any more specific?
21:40.51pigeonpb_: hmm, i tried with my pcmcia network card, suspend, resume, network won't come up again, unless I reinsert the card.
21:41.24pigeonalso, my cf+ sleeve, sometimes inserting the sleeve and the cf card will not work, I need to reboot the ipaq and it will come up.
21:42.55pigeon(all these used to work well on my good old 3630 with old familiar)
21:45.23pigeonand now it is fam latest with a 3870
21:45.44pigeons/it/this/
21:47.03pb_by "latest", do you mean 0.7.2, or unstable?
21:47.28pigeonin fact, i tried both last night.
21:47.41pigeonI flashed with 0.7.2 root last night.
21:47.44pigeontried a few things.
21:47.55pigeonthen i up-ed it to unstable.
