02:40.06scornSo I'm looking for the addressbook data file in my SL-5600, I find a file called addressbook.xml, and I'm sure this is it, however when I look at the file directly, its does not contain any of the entries that my real address book does.  
02:41.14scornthe todolist.xml and datebook.xml all seem to match, but addressbook.xml is completely wrong.  How can this be?
02:43.31bam_morning
02:43.54bam_anyone know the commandline for wget to download all files for a specific directory?
02:43.55scornevening
02:46.13scornSorry, not off the top of my head.
02:50.39bam_looks like I will actually make use of man on my z finally....lol
02:51.03scornnormally this quiet iin here?
02:51.11bam_hmmmz back to work then...
02:51.16bam_yup
02:51.39bam_pretty dead unless its early or late depending on what your utc is
02:52.06scornon your z, is the addressbook data stored in /home/zaurus/Applications/addressbook/addressbook.xml?
02:52.35bam_hmmmmz....think so, but I use ko/pi

02:53.20scorngrepping entire directory structure looking for file that contains addressbook, finding nothing.
02:53.23scornodd
02:53.25azgoris there a way to "show desktop" or minimize applications when using sharpROM?
02:53.35scornunless in the ROM they are storing binary.
02:53.45scornseems like a bad idea.
02:56.29scornThinking of moving to OZ just because the sharp rom directory structure is so screwy.
03:04.55scornthats it, stored in binary file.
03:05.00scornshucks.

18:20.45LaibschWhy would I want to join the orkut group?  Why not talk here?
18:21.28LaibschCan anybody confirm that they have a working 1GB SD card in their SL-5500?  I have problems with my Kingston card and Kingston support voiced the opinion that the SL-5500 only supports 256MB cards which I find hard to believe.
18:21.54frostschutzyou go to kingston support when a card doesn't work in the zaurus?
18:21.59frostschutzinteresting :)
18:23.00frostschutzI can confirm that a 2GB SD card won't work in a SL-5500 and in C1000 only with a driver update
18:24.21frostschutzand 256MB limit can't be true, at least 512MB work
18:24.45Laibschfrostschutz: Why do you find that interesting?  What kind of support would you expect from Sharp?  I just bought the card a few days ago and wanted to give Kingston a chance before I return the merchandise to the store.
18:27.27LaibschI got a confirmation in #openzaurus that the collie works with a 1GB SD card.
18:28.23frostschutzI just wouldn't expect an useful answer from their support. I doubt they do testing on Zaurus, or even keeping compatibility lists for that matter.
18:30.54LaibschWell, that is always the problem.  You could not expect a useful answer from Sharp either, I guess.
18:31.35frostschutzNo. You don't get support for Zaurus. That's that. :-)
18:32.03LaibschExactly ;-)
18:32.52frostschutzWhat kind of problems do you have with the card anyway?
18:33.20Laibschbut even apart from the Z factor I would assume that it can generally become problematic when you deal with two companies.  Both should make an effort in case that becomes necessary.  And Kingston did.  Thumbs up for that!  The support was good.  Unfortunately, the card looks like it will not work.
18:33.42LaibschOthers reported that their Kingston card did not work in the Z either.  But other cards did.
18:34.00Laibschfrostschutz: Reading from the card is fine.  Writing to it is impossible.
18:34.17frostschutzit's not locked, is it? ;-)
18:34.31frostschutzor mounted readonly?
18:34.48Laibschhehe ;-)
18:35.29LaibschNo, the Z does try to write and sometimes even does succeed as verified by md5sum.  But sometimes the files are just 0-sized or otherwise corrupted.
18:36.56frostschutzmd5sum verification is after remounting it?
18:38.22LaibschNo, why should I?
18:38.41LaibschUnmounting and remounting should at least not improve things.
18:38.44frostschutzto make sure that all caches were flushed
18:39.31LaibschWell, but whether or not the caches were flushed should not make a difference on a card that is and remains mounted.

18:39.55*** part/#zaurus Flikker (n=mattnosp@69-169-144-132.bflony.adelphia.net)
18:40.56frostschutzit could make things more clear... e.g. does the write and md5 verification actually succeed, or was it just the cache giving a correct result
18:42.33frostschutzalso, did you try another cardreader, to rule out the possibility of a defective card?
18:46.40LaibschThe card reader seems to be doing things right.  Loopback from the SD card was freezing all the time which is what I want it for.  Only then did I investigate and found the card to be incompatible and thus "the culprit".
18:47.40frostschutzso it's actually just loopback that is causing problems?
18:48.07frostschutzanything interesting in dmesg?
19:21.50*** join/#zaurus stevenh (n=lews@65.167.23.2)
19:25.30Laibschno, it is not just loopback.  Most copy operation *to* the card produce garbage.
19:26.25Laibschagaffney and hobbs from #openzaurus both confirmed they also had problems with Kingston cards.  They both use a different 1Gig card now without problems.
19:27.11LaibschI think that confirms that the Z and the Kingston do not get along for whatever reason.  I leave it at that.
19:27.13Laibsch...
19:27.22Laibsch...
19:27.34LaibschWhy would I want to join the orkut group?  Why not talk here?
19:34.18frostschutzI don't even know what orkut is, so ... the point is moot
19:34.20frostschutz:-)
19:36.32LaibschWell, there is this stuff in the topic.  Which is why I asked when I entered.  Seems like that entry is not so important ;-)
19:52.36azgorIs there a page somewhere that documents all of the options in the japanese bios menu of my SL-C3200? I want to do a NAND backup before I install OZ, but I don't know which menu entries to select.
19:54.32*** join/#zaurus kb7sqi (i=kb7sqi@cpe-071-071-025-187.triad.res.rr.com)
19:56.43frostschutzazgor: does the bios menu even offer nand backup? Mine only has 1. Cancel, 2. Check, 3. Format, 4. Update
19:56.56frostschutzmine's a C1000 though
20:00.40azgormine's in japanese, so I have no idea
20:01.52azgorfrostschutz: it never occurred to me that it might have restore without also having backup
20:02.03frostschutzwell mine's in japanese too :)
20:02.31azgorahh. well, you see... the problem is that my japanese is a little rusty. ;)
20:03.48frostschutzit's some time since I flashed Cacko on my Zaurus, but IIRC the update menu had some additional options... it could partition and format data, possibly it can do backups as well? In this case you'd need the program on SD or CF and run this update thing (without actually flashing)
20:05.46azgorI intended to backup NAND to CF
20:18.43*** join/#zaurus stevenh (n=lews@65.167.23.2)
20:21.49Laibschazgor: I only have a collie.  Post a screenshot and I can decipher the Japanese for you.
20:28.26azgorLaibsch: thanks.
20:45.20azgorLaibsch: http://www.tinyurl.com/pko9t Sorry but it is a little blurry
20:46.30frostschutzazgor: 1. Cancel 2. Data Check 3. ??? (Format) 4. Update
20:46.32LaibschThe menu title is "Maintenance menu"
20:46.53Laibsch3 delete everything
20:47.01LaibschAKA format
20:47.16LaibschThe rest from frostschutz is correct.
20:47.27azgorso basically, it's 1.reboot 2.fsck 3.reset+format 4.update-nand
20:47.30frostschutzI have to study kanji more :)
20:47.33Laibschfrostschutz: You speak Japanese?  
20:47.43frostschutzLaibsch: far from it, I'm learning though
20:47.54LaibschI'd like to invite you to http://gakusei.sf.net

20:49.00frostschutzLaibsch: a wadoku offline version of 2005 was published recently (before that only a version of 2003 was available)
20:50.45LaibschInteresting.  Do you know where?  What format?  epwing?
20:51.09frostschutzazgor: well, that's the guess I had before, that you can do this backup stuff from inside the update program itself only
20:51.26azgorD+B+power doesn't seem to work on my zaurus. the OZ install instructions say to press that to get a terminal so that I can resize partitions. is there any reason I shouldn't just fdisk from inside a terminal emulator?
20:51.43azgorfrostschutz: you were right indeed
20:51.56frostschutzLaibsch: it was on wadoku.de in the forums ... I asked for it actually... http://www.wadoku.de/download/wadoku_epwing_2005.zip
20:52.27frostschutzD+B?
20:53.11azgorThe OZ install instructions for the 3200 say hold D and B while you press power and it will boot into a console
20:53.15Laibschfrostschutz: Nice.  Hang around gakusei.sf.net and make suggestions.  I want to make this a lively community of Japanese learners.
20:53.32frostschutzazgor: I never installed OZ, sorry... I'm using Cacko, there you just run the update from the maintenance menu and get another menu that allows you to partition, format, install cacko rom, etc
20:54.49azgorfrostschutz: how do you like Cacko?
20:55.38frostschutzazgor: I dunno. Never tried anything else so I can't really compare. I just recently got my Zaurus too, so I don't know much about it either way
20:55.46frostschutzazgor: it supports Japanese :-)
20:55.57azgorah
20:57.37azgorfrostschutz: I was going to try cacko until I saw that it required repartitioning. I decided that if I was going to have to repartition anyway, I might as well try OZ since it has 2.6
20:57.58azgorand more packages over all, I think
20:58.45frostschutzI didn't try OZ yet because I heard there were some issues with drivers for the SD cardreader and stuff... dunno if this still applies today
20:59.06azgormaybe I should try cacko first, though. I get the impression it is a little less painful than OZ
20:59.36azgorI think the SD cardreader issues only affect 5X00's and 6000
21:00.00azgorlack of 2.6 driver, I think
21:02.45frostschutzazgor: I had no problems installing it... and pretty much everything just works. Of course, I guess others work just as well... I don't really know :-)
21:07.37azgorfrostschutz: I think the advantage of OZ is that it is easier to create new packages for it. But Cacko seems to have most of what I want already... *ponders*

21:59.06WillyWortelLaibsch, I mean 0-cost ;-). I like that tool, because it uses a tree-like hierarcy.
21:59.32LaibschGPL is zero cost.  And AFAIK IQNotes is GPL.

23:15.15LaibschWillyWortel: The program is GPL as I said.  http://www.google.de/search?q=iqnotes+gpl&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial  First entry.
23:15.55LaibschJust as an example.  GPL does not mean cost-free under all circumstances.  As I said, you might have to compile it yourself.
23:16.12LaibschIf you have the skill, you can get it for free.
23:16.26LaibschIf you don't 20$ is not too expensive IMHO.
