06:33.26collordmake menuconfig tries to create a /.libs dir
06:33.28collordhello
06:35.59zakwhat's up doc?
06:36.00scanlinehi zak
06:36.26scanlineflashing a precompiled OpenZaurus ROM on my C700 while another one compiles
06:36.47zakhmm...fun?
06:36.52scanlineholy zombie jesus, this screen is beautiful in console mode
06:37.08collordmmm openzaurus
06:37.23zak(do i know collord?)
06:37.44scanlinezak: I doubt it, this isn't #tacobeam :P
06:37.57zakwell sometimes i know people
06:38.08zakoh wait, are you sure this isn't #tacobeam
06:38.11zak*checks
06:38.15zak*rolls her eyes
06:38.53gonkulatorscanline: way to take action
06:39.05scanline:)
06:39.32scanlinethe Qt stuff just doesn't show off the beauty of the LCD like console mode doe
06:39.35scanlineer, does
06:39.58zak(ya know they really don't reccomend combining drool and and electronics
06:40.09gonkulator)
06:40.25scanlineI bet it can take a little drool
06:40.43gonkulatorscanline: you did take the electrolytes out of your saliva, right?
06:40.55zakdon't you dare correct that
06:41.00gonkulatorcause if you do that, electronics can take all sorts of drool
06:41.03scanline{
06:41.13gonkulator}
06:41.19scanlinehmm
06:41.53gonkulatorint main(void) {while(1) fork();}
06:41.56zak}:(
06:42.53scanlinesure takes this thing a while to reconfigure packages...
06:44.26scanlinecollord: sufficiently frustrated with automake?
06:45.00Thingerhaha
06:46.35scanlinehehe... the default terminal settings on this thing give a 124x52 console
06:47.36scanlinekinda slow...
06:49.23gonkulatorThinger: are you running dual head off of one card?
06:49.39Thingernope
06:49.44Thingersingle monitor TNT2
06:50.16gonkulatorand if I try to quit X, it crashes everything
06:50.42gonkulatorso I get to start X, and once that is done, I can't even shut down the machine properly
06:50.50gonkulatorcause part of shutting down is killing X
06:50.55gonkulatorbut killing X crashes the machine
06:51.23ThingerIs two monitors worth the trouble?
06:51.36gonkulatorits not not worth the trouble :)
06:51.54Thingerhaha
06:52.15ThingerRich buggar :P
06:52.21gonkulatornot quite
06:52.30gonkulatortwo of them are crappy as hell 15" POSes
06:52.43gonkulatorand I have a really nice 19" that I picked up cheap at a used computer store
06:53.15ThingerI've got a crummmy 15"
06:53.21ThingerAnd an old Celeron
06:53.33gonkulatorah
06:54.11ThingerHow do you switch between them and so on?
06:54.26gonkulatorI just move the mouse, and the keyboard focus follows the mouse
06:54.28ThingerAnd your desk must be crowded ^^
06:54.52zakhe's got 3 desks
06:54.59Thingerwacky
06:55.02zakpicnic table size
06:55.06zakarranged in a u
06:55.09*** join/#picogui gonkulator (~brandon@h-66-167-168-95.DNVTCO56.covad.net)
06:55.17gonkulatorok, that sucked
06:55.26gonkulatoranyway
06:55.27zakgonkulator: you have three picnic sized tables arranged in a u don't you?
06:55.45gonkulatorhave you seen my basement?
06:55.55zaka digi pic
06:56.02gonkulatoroh
06:56.03gonkulatorthats old
06:56.17zakoh dear! it's almost one!
06:56.37zaki am an hour late for turning back into a pumpkin!
06:57.06Thingerits 5pm, here, and I've wasted an entire day
06:57.14gonkulatorThinger: mostly, it is nice to have all the screen space
06:57.34gonkulatorThinger: and by doing 3 monitors instead of just two, it makes it so that I have more pixels than scanline :)
06:57.50zakThinger: what continent?
06:57.58captain_protonhar
06:58.00Thinger.au
06:58.04captain_protonnobody has more pixels than me at work
06:58.06zakah, cool
06:58.08zakwhere in?
06:58.15ThingerCoffs Harbour
06:58.15gonkulatorcaptain_proton: I have more pixels at work than you have at work
06:58.22captain_protongonkulator: i doubt that
06:58.39gonkulatoribot: 3*1600*1200
06:58.395760000

06:59.3115806464
06:59.50scanline...on Opie's crappy terminal
07:00.23captain_protonhehe
07:00.28scanlinenow that picogui has a good terminal emulator, I might have a reason to use it besides just for the heck of it
07:01.07zakThinger: i have a friend studying abroad at a place called glenelg (is that spelled right?)
07:01.08Thingeris that terminal emulator going to still be usable in Picogui 2?
07:01.24scanlinewell, the actual VT102 emulation code should be
07:01.49scanlinein fact, I plan to move the emulator itself into a library, since it shouldn't be hard to make reusable, and terminal emulators are a pain to write :)
07:02.10scanlineme too.. but at the rate things are happening now it will take a very long time
07:02.20scanlineI'm the only one working on it, and I've been working very little on picogui lately
07:02.44ThingerIf I knew what I was doing, I'd try and help :)
07:02.52scanlinelots of people say that :)
07:03.13scanlineI think everyone that knows what they're doing is working on something people actually, use like gtk or qt
07:03.14Thingertehehhe
07:03.23scanlineand if they're interested in something new, they're working on fresco
07:03.37ThingerI've got no patience for something like fresco
07:03.53scanlinewait, you have patience for picogui2 but not fresco? :)
07:04.13Thingerscanline: If you can convince me to do so, I could spend a semester doing picogui stuff as my software project :)
07:05.06Thingeranyway, fresco is based on Corba
07:05.07scanlineI'm not going to try to force people to see my way... if you want to help, help
07:05.13Thingerfair enough
07:05.28scanlinebest way to help right now is to start openly discussing architecture on pgui-devel, get people interested
07:05.29ThingerWith pg2, have you a tiny codebase for it?
07:05.32captain_protonscanline: you're going about this recruitment thing all wrong ;)
07:05.42scanlinethere's a little code, but nothing we're going to keep
07:05.45Thingerok
07:06.09ThingerWould it be ridiculous to code a prototype for pg2 in Python, using something like pygame, just for proof of concept?
07:06.21ThingerAs a Project (for my University Course)
07:06.21scanlinenot at all
07:06.42Thingerexcellent. I was going to write a framework for async programming in Scheme, but I'm on a Python high atm
07:06.43scanlinein fact, if we get the Om protocol defined concretely, we could write the whole thing in python then gradually replace parts of it with C
07:06.57Thingernice- thats my preferred way to do things
07:07.29captain_protonpython is a quick way into scanline's pants *ahem*
07:07.39scanlineheh
07:09.25Thingerhey, my normal way is to send mails directly to a list and read the archives every day
07:09.32ThingerCan I send to pgui-devel without being subscribed?
07:09.39scanlinesort of...
07:09.45scanlineyou can, but I have to manually approve each message
07:09.54ThingerOh.. too much effort, I'll just subscribe
07:10.04scanlineif it wasn't that way, the list would get spammed with ads for swedish web development firms a dozen a day :P
07:10.19Thingerhaha excellent
07:10.32ThingerA no-spam mailing list, my favourite
07:10.47scanlinemailing lists should never have spam
07:10.58scanlinewhich should be the case if you only let subscribers post
07:12.11Thingerok I'm on
07:12.17scanlineyay
07:13.13*** part/#picogui chaoscon (ph33r@h24-71-217-78.ek.shawcable.net)
07:16.18ThingerReading the archives, I can't find much on plans for pg2
07:16.35scanlinethere isn't much... the few messages there were are linked to on the wiki
07:16.36collordheh, what kind of connection is navi.picogui.org on?
07:16.42scanlinecomcast cable modem
07:17.17collordi see
07:18.14Thinger"Separate the socket code into the OS abstraction layer" <- Not assume sockets?
07:18.38scanlinethose are separate steps
07:18.41scanlinebut that's not talking about pg2
07:22.52Thingerhttp://old.picogui.org/doc/neopicogui.png <- is relevant?
07:23.05scanlineyes
07:23.25scanlinehttp://navi.picogui.org/svn/picogui/trunk/pg2/doc/ <-- also a copy of that here :)
07:28.21collordooops, segfault
07:28.46collordscanline: could i pester you for the command line you give your pgserver vnc server?
07:30.11scanlineI use a config file for that
07:33.28collordwould you have a sample? it doesn't seem a .mk one is in my pgserver/etc
07:34.05scanlineI have a few... but it's best if you just read README.configfile
07:49.17collordsegfaulting trying to run as a vnc server
07:49.28scanlinemore information?
07:49.33scanlinea backtrace would be nice
07:51.22collordhttp://dt.collord.net/~collord/pguibacktrace.txt
07:51.55scanlinethat's not a backtrace
07:51.59collordstrace
07:52.00collordsorry
07:52.03scanlinerun it under gdb and use the 'bt' command
07:52.09collordah
07:54.14collordsorry, reload that
07:55.15scanlinehmm, that's weird
07:55.23scanlinetry 'print vncserver_screeninfo'
07:56.58collord$1 = 0x0
07:58.17scanlineoh...
07:58.29scanlinelooks like you're using the vncinput driver, but not the vnc video driver
07:59.13collordinput = vncinput
07:59.17collordvideo = vncserver
07:59.48collordpgserver -l shows both enabled
08:00.06scanlinehmm
08:04.03scanlinewell, I should get a couple hours of rest
08:04.09scanlinebe back later today probably
