15:17.00rob_whi all ,, i dont have too much time
15:17.33rob_wcp15,  would you send me by mail your ssh dsa public key in order to create your cvs account for the hh,org cvs
15:17.46rob_wcp15, mail that to robert@linuxdevelopment.de
15:20.33magnethi
15:28.51cp15rob: ssh key sent
15:33.54magnetdoes someone use distcc to build oe stuff ?
15:35.06cp15What is distcc?
15:35.28magnetit's a tool to distribute compilation over network.
15:49.51Funklorddistcc didn't benefit me much when I used it
15:50.07Funklordhad a lot of trouble due to it too
15:50.51magnetI use it  with my package management tool, it works quite fine .
15:51.04Funklordyou need to make sure everything matches on all the machine toolchains
15:51.13Funklordsame versions etc.
15:51.20magnetyea that what I feared.
15:51.51magnetmonotone is slow :(
15:52.35Funklordshit that's small
15:52.54Funklordcompressed a 150mb vid into 3.4mb
15:54.49Funklordok, that quality was not good
15:55.00Funklordoops wrong bitrate
15:58.08rob_whey Funklord
15:58.22rob_wFunklord, got a htc device ??
16:00.14Funklordyes
16:00.26Funklordba
16:00.36magnetnice.
16:01.12Funklordrob_w: why?
16:02.04rob_wi thought i do remember you from the #gpe chan
16:02.26FunklordI've been in here all the time =P
16:02.35rob_wyeah , right
16:03.05rob_wcp15, is that the key from which you did send it ? so from that email !
16:03.42rob_wFunklord, sorry for this , i did help at a move all day and had some beers
16:05.22Funklordrob_w: hehe, nice
16:05.58cp15rob_w: Sorry, what is the problem with the key?
16:06.23rob_wi mean is that the key generate for the email account which you used to send it ...
16:07.34cp15Ahmmm... It is a ssh key, not related to any email
16:08.52rob_whmm , ok , i am new to this "key" thing and thought the account email on which it will be generated is .... that thing that is needed
16:09.26rob_wnever mind i go and send it to the admin ,
16:09.48rob_wbtw suspned is now working for me , as it is not waking up on its own anymore
16:10.22rob_wyet that matchbox -> touchscreen bug that kills matchbox on a resume is annoying
16:10.58cp15No, there is a comment field in the key (martin@pcmartin in my case), but it's content is not important. It is more a hint to which person the key belongs
16:11.15rob_was i "lost" my .xsession-errors and "cant find " it any more i dont see the messages generated by that  , but likely iwill try to find htat
16:11.23rob_wok cool
16:11.33cp15It is not matchbox which crashes, it is probably the X server
16:12.03cp15At least on my setup I had problems that the X server received a SIGUSR1 which it interpreted as "switch to console" command.
16:12.26cp15Unfortunately the touchscreen is not yet activated again and it crashes as a result
16:12.56cp15I have to go shopping now
16:13.49rob_wso we need tobe quicker or more time
16:15.43cp15No, the SIGUSR1 is wrong, but I don't know from where it originates
16:16.40rob_wah so does the frambuffer get a SIGUSR1
16:17.53rob_wi will try to see how the 3900 touchscreen is handling support , maybe the himalay one has some wrong hacks in terms or order
16:22.08rob_whandling suspend support i meant
16:22.21rob_wok i also need to go again ,, cuall
18:40.07magnetis it normal that using monotone to update oe's snapshot take so long time ?
18:40.21magnetit has been running without progress for ~1 hour now.
19:09.06immolomagnet-  wait another 24 hours :P
19:09.21immoloand that was with my 64bit laptop
19:10.20magnet:)
19:10.31magnetit's progressing a bit now.

19:36.07magnetseems over !!
20:08.38immolo??
20:09.00immoloyou download the tar.bz2 first?
20:14.19magnetyep
20:14.27immoloah
20:14.27magnetoe.tar.bz2
20:14.29immoloI never :P
20:14.41magnetit's my first time, I'm very new to pda stuff.
20:15.08magnetI'm trying to compile  xanadux-ba-2.6_2.6.12 .
20:15.10immolodoesn't matter I just decided not to
20:15.29immoloyou need the bb file?
20:15.46magnetI found one in oe/packages
20:16.02immolonice they added my files
20:16.10magnethehe you nice you made it !
20:16.13immolois my machine config there also
20:16.20immolowith some help yes :P
20:16.36magnetthere are some stuff that I misunderstand.
20:16.59immoloyou made the build directory?
20:17.08magnetI installed oe, and used bitbake to launch the xanadu-ba's built.
20:17.10magnetyepp.
20:17.21immololook in build/conf/machine
20:17.26magnetbut I did not installed a crooss compiler.
20:17.35immoloyou should see a blueangel.conf
20:17.48immoloyou need a conf to build a crosscompiler
20:18.10magnetlocal.conf ?
20:18.24immoloinside machine
20:18.39magnetI don t have anything in build/conf exept local.conf
20:19.23immolotry the org.openembedded.*/conf/machine
20:19.50magnetoh I see.
20:20.02immolois it there?
20:20.16magnetmine not.
20:20.19magnetI got magician one.
20:20.25magnetbut blueangel is there.
20:20.39immologreat news thanks
20:20.45immoloshame for you though
20:20.51magnetwhy ?
20:21.01immolomeans my files have been accepted :P
20:21.12magnetI mean why it's a shame for me ?
20:21.30immoloblueangel is different to magician?
20:21.41magnetin some ways.
20:21.43magneterr
20:21.51*** join/#htc-blueangel immolo (n=immolo@cpc1-cosh1-4-0-cust126.cos2.cable.ntl.com)
20:22.01magnetI think it's a bit different.
20:22.02immolowrong x :P
20:22.15magnetit use pxa272 .
20:23.17immolosame as the newer hp ones?
20:23.37magnetI don't know. it's the first time i have a pda
20:23.50magnetI have tech chart trough
20:24.04immoloheh my ba is my second
20:24.23magnethttp://www.qtek.fr/product_info.php/cPath/24/products_id/28?Qtek=1f6ddf58658cc125c8f20abb7fa82868
20:24.33magnetin french, but it's just a list of component.
20:24.33immoloI don't count most of the other pda classed devices I own as pdas more as sub notebooks
20:24.55magnetumm.
20:25.14magnetdo you run linux on all ?
20:25.47immoloall but the ba
20:26.02magnetwhat's wrong with linux on ba ?
20:26.19immoloI haven't solved a touchscreen issue
20:26.37magnetI see.
20:26.47immolobut I've currently got a small job of getting an old pc to run linux
20:27.09immolobut once I've done that it will be back to the ba
20:27.14magnethehe.
20:27.20magnetwhich kind of pc is it ?
20:27.26immoloold celeron
20:27.42magnetshould be easy.
20:27.44immoloit can just about run xp but vista will die
20:28.10Funklordxp requires a damn powerhouse, so you should be ok with linux =P
20:28.12immoloonly issue is the guy can't use windows so I have to set linux to do everything
20:28.48immolokde is too bloated and fluxbox isn't newbie proof
20:28.58immoloso I'm trying him on gnome
20:29.14Funklordkde works fine on older machines, as long as you put 128mb ram
20:29.51immoloafter running fluxbox, kde seems slow a
20:29.57immoloon any machine :P
20:30.38Funklordyou can't compare those two =P
20:31.00immolohow about kwin and flux :P
20:31.18Funklordnever tried kwin
20:31.26immolosure you have
20:31.34immoloit's what wm kde uses
20:31.50Funklordah ok
20:31.54immoloI'm pretty sure it was anyway :P
20:32.09immololike gnome uses metacity or simalr naming
20:32.21Funklordthey are still designed for different purposes
20:32.29immoloI know
20:32.56immolostill gnome will do nicely for this job I think
20:33.05Funklordif you set up a menu in fluxbox neatly, shouldn't be a reason why they can't use it
20:33.21Funklordbut they won't understand how to edit it, probably
20:33.31immoloI did but the other stuff just takes too long
20:33.38immololike auto mounting etc
20:34.17FunklordI'm using a powerbook currently
20:34.19immolostill everything is built now anyway
20:34.23immoloeww :P
20:34.24Funklordwith macosx
20:34.31immoloI hated osx
20:34.38FunklordI think it's great
20:34.46immoloeach to there own
20:35.05immoloit just looked like a pretty windows to me
20:35.19FunklordI was gonna put linux on it, but it worked fine as it is
20:35.34Funklordand the hardware is awesome
20:35.34immoloI put gentoo on a g3
20:35.45immolothe hardware is great on imacs
20:35.56immoloshame about losing the ppc
20:36.18FunklordI'm trying to figure out how to use this umts/gprs pcmcia card on the mac
20:36.29Funklordcan't find the log files =PP
20:36.33Funklordsyslog
20:36.36immoloinstall linux :P
20:37.16Funklordah, there they are
20:38.56Funklorda pretty windowing environment built on a powerful *nix base
20:39.09Funklordwhat more could you ask for?
20:39.17Funklordfree maybe =P
20:39.50FunklordI'm not used to *bsd unices yet
20:41.37immoloI didn't like bsd myself
20:42.18immolobut I'm happy with linux I can all that I need with it and know my machine is support well into its end of life
20:42.19Funklordhmm.. the logs are very noisy
20:42.37Funklordand not a thing about my pcmcia card
20:42.55immoloI find using guis easier with macs
20:44.41Funklordah it's been detected as a usb dev already
20:44.54Funklordit's a pcmcia usb bridge
20:45.22bhimaCardbus, I presume?
20:45.32Funklordthink so
20:46.14Funklordnow.. to use ppp
20:48.20magnetok I got xanadux-ba installed using bitbaker
20:48.29magnetnow I have to install the cross compiler ?
20:51.15immolothe crosscompiler is a dependice of xanadux
20:55.36magnetumm
20:55.51magnetI had some trouble while installing xanadux.
20:56.42cp15re
20:57.51magnetNOTE: Handling BitBake files: \ (1275/2867) [44 %]NOTE: exceptions.SyntaxError:EOL while scanning single-quoted string (line 1) while evaluating:
20:58.41magnetthe install continued, but at the end it tell 'ERROR: Nothing provides xanadux-ba-2.6_2.6.12'
21:10.53cp15What command did you enter?
21:11.28magnetbitbake xanadux-ba
21:11.47magnetI also tried bitbatke xanadux-ba-2.6_2.6.12
21:12.12cp15Do you have already the cross compiler?
21:12.33magnetnot yet.
21:12.46magnetI thinked it will be installed as dependencie or something.
21:12.59magnetI just followed the guide on oe.handhelds.org
21:13.24cp15Try bitbake -b <path to xanadux-ba-2.6_2.6.12.bb>
21:13.37magnetok.
21:14.13magnetoh this seems to work better.
21:14.19magnetit's fetching from cvs right now.
21:14.37magnetbut it's not fetching the compiler...
21:15.19cp15Do you want a complete build or just the kernel?
21:15.28magnetI just need the kernel now.
21:15.49magnetit's to try it on my magician.
21:17.38cp15You have to change the framebuffer before you can test it
21:17.55cp15Also you have to remove complete initialisation, since it will probably crash
21:18.23magnetdo you have documentation on how I can do that ?
21:19.59cp15Remove everything in blueangel_init
21:21.43magnetok.
21:21.54magnetwin 13
21:21.54cp15Remove everything in blueangel_map_io after iotable_init
21:21.56magneter.
21:22.16cp15Do not compile the other blueangel stuff
21:24.33cp15Compile vsfb instead
21:25.00magnetit's still getting source from cvs.
21:25.08cp15Takes some time
21:25.25magnetthanks for your help.
21:25.26cp15set SCREEN_BASE in vsfb.c to your physical screen base
21:26.12cp15Remove the machine_is_e330 check in vsfb_init in vsfb.c
21:27.21cp15With much luck you will see something on your screen
21:27.52magnetI'm fighting for 4 days for this :)
21:30.43cp15Are you ready to fight for 4 weeks? Most likely it won't work, and then it will get very hard.
21:31.28magnetI'm ready even if it need 4 month.
21:31.54magnetI had some troubles with patching it seems.

21:38.44magnetyep
21:38.56magnetthat from the good file
21:39.20magnetthis var can be define in local.conf, but it has nof effect.
21:41.09immolomagnet-  do you want the lastest xanadux bb?
21:41.19immolomight make things easier later
21:41.30magnetbb ?
21:41.36immolobitbake file
21:41.43magnetoh the bitbake file. yea.
21:41.49immolotwo secs
21:42.26magnetmy problem can come from the bb file I use ?
21:43.38immolono, but I'm pretty sure you will run into issues with that one
21:43.50immoloI need to update the one I sent
21:46.40cp15It mixed python code with shell code... Hmmm
21:51.18cp15immolo: How far did you get with the image?
21:53.30immolocp15- I haven't had time this week, had a small linux job to do
21:54.17immoloas of tonight or tomorrow I should be free to rebuild with some stuff
21:54.48immolodid you or rob find out how the h3900 images deals with ts?
21:57.28cp15Didn't look at it. What is the problem?
21:58.19immolosame issue Xfbdev segfaults
21:58.28cp15Have you made a strace?
21:58.41immoloso I'm going to revert back to a stage where I had it kinda working
21:59.01immolono, I suppose I could quick though
21:59.23cp15It would be quite useful I think
21:59.31immologive me a few mins to get it working
22:00.29immolocp15-  ah, I can't do it now as I have to finish this other job first
22:00.39immoloI'll have it ready for you tomorrow
22:04.12magnetok I fixed the problem.
22:04.30magnetnow it seems I miss arm-gcc to success installing kernel source.
22:04.54immolowhat machine config are you using?
22:05.58magnetpentium M 1.6g / 512mb .
22:06.02immoloI mean the machine config used by oe
22:06.32cp15immolo: Ok
22:07.07magnetoh sorry
22:07.14immoloI wish I never tried my dev machine into a media centre as ever since I have I've needed it
22:07.22immolotried = turned
22:07.37magnetI choosed target 'arm'.
22:08.05magnetas target architecture.
22:08.50immoloI think you miss understand, there is a varible in your local.conf that tells it what machine you are building for, this in turn tells oe some default settings like what kernel to use and what cross complier is needed
22:09.31magnetoh
22:09.38magnetyou mean MACHINE setting ?
22:09.49magnetI did not set it.
22:10.21magnetI did not find mine in the conf directory.( I have magician )
22:12.22immoloyou need to change some settings in one
22:13.16immoloas far as I can see but cp15 will point out if I'm wrong you need a hx2700 based config with some of the blueangel settings like kernel and modules it needs
22:14.58magnetso I take blueangel file ?
22:15.49cp15I think you can take the blueangel file, they are probably compatible enough
22:16.25magnetok.
22:16.25immolocp15-  different cpus though?
22:16.34immolooh wait I did optimize
22:16.34magnetmine is pxa272
22:16.41immolodid = didn't
22:16.56immoloyeah the blueangel shoulld be fine
22:17.06magnetok good.
22:18.01immoloanyway time for me to fix some other problems
22:18.08immolosee you all in awhile
22:18.11magnetcya.
22:21.35magnetnow I'll modify blue angel stuff.
22:44.50cp15I will go to bed now
22:44.53cp15Good night
22:45.22magnetnight.
