drmikecrowe: ping |

<chi> |
wo0 just booted my zipit for the first time |
| [17:24:33] |
<Rossimo> |
cool |
| [17:26:01] |
<chi> |
how easy is it to brick? |
| [17:26:13] |
<Rossimo> |
don't turn it off during updates |
| [17:26:26] |
<chi> |
ha it's updating now |
| [17:26:34] |
<Rossimo> |
but, besides that, i haven't had any trouble with it |
| [17:26:48] |
<Rossimo> |
don't be surprised if it does several updates in a row |
| [17:26:50] |
<chi> |
cool |
| [17:27:01] |
<mi_dave> |
i bought an older z2 on ebay and when it updated the bootloader it bricked itself so be patient with it |
| [17:28:05] |
<mi_dave> |
seems like it did a new update after every power cycle |

crap i'm having trouble getting this damn card reader in my monitor to work |
| [20:22:48] |
<chi> |
got it |
| [20:39:33] |
<chi> |
prepSDcard.pl is a nice script |
| [20:40:28] |
<chi> |
i wrote something similar in bash for my job |
| [20:40:58] |
* |
chi crosses his fingers |
| [20:41:01] |
<chi> |
hope this works |
| [20:44:19] |
<chi> |
wo0 looks like its is working |
| [20:49:43] |
<chi> |
damn, sure takes awhile for first boot |
| [20:50:02] |
<Rossimo> |
it may be freezing on you, try the alternate base-image linked on the wiki |
| [20:50:49] |
<chi> |
oh ok |
| [20:52:31] |
<chi> |
this one right? Angstrom-base-image-glibc-ipk-2008.1-test-20080225-zipit2.rootfs.tar |
| [20:53:04] |
<Rossimo> |
yeah |

well, i got xkb to work. ;-) |
| [20:54:43] |
<Rossimo> |
cool |
| [20:54:55] |
<bryank> |
of course, i had to cheat, but they keys are all working |
| [20:54:58] |
<Rossimo> |
have you updated OE lately? |
| [20:55:38] |
<bryank> |
yeah, but i haven't rebuilt base-image |
| [20:55:40] |
<Rossimo> |
ah |
| [20:55:48] |
<bryank> |
(should use the backup sd card for that) |
| [20:56:10] |
<Rossimo> |
yeah, luckily i still have a working imaged SD card |
| [20:58:02] |
<chi> |
the damn usb reader on this monitor sucks =\ |
| [20:58:19] |
<bryank> |
on xkb: the tty gets put into XK_RAW mode, then the "scancodes" that get read from it get translated into AT keycodes via a table in kdrive. problem is, the current keyboard driver doesn't return scancodes, it returns keycodes all the time (whether it's in raw mode or not), so yanking out the translation table makes all the keys work. i'll push the patch up to svn in a bit. |
| [20:58:19] |
<chi> |
s/usb/sd |
| [20:58:30] |
<bryank> |
chi: is it just slow, or something else wrong with it? |
| [20:58:42] |
<chi> |
it does not like my 4g minisd card |
| [20:59:03] |
<chi> |
and the 2g card only seems to work when it wants to heh |
| [20:59:10] |
<bryank> |
hmm. anything helpful in the kernel logs? |
| [20:59:28] |
<chi> |
well, at the moment modprobeing usb_storage seems to be hanging |
| [20:59:52] |
<bryank> |
that's not good. (unless it's just waiting for the usb stuff to settle?) |
| [21:00:01] |
<chi> |
oh heh most likly because its usb-storage lol |
| [21:01:05] |
<chi> |
not usb_storage |
| [21:01:06] |
<chi> |
smooth |
| [21:01:19] |
<bryank> |
i thought those were the same, but maybe not? i guess if one works, they're not. ;-) |
| [21:01:36] |
<chi> |
hrm.. |
| [21:03:04] |
<chi> |
i think they are the same damn =/ |
| [21:04:08] |
<bryank> |
what state does ps show the modprobe process in? (something like "ps -e --format pid,state,command" should show it) |
| [21:04:38] |
<chi> |
D |
| [21:05:36] |
<bryank> |
ok, the manpage says D is "uninterruptible sleep" -- it's not coming back. :-( |
| [21:05:52] |
<bryank> |
(at least, not in my experience. i've only seen that a couple times though.) |
| [21:05:53] |
<chi> |
yea i trieed throwing a few kill -9s at it |
| [21:06:00] |
<chi> |
crap brb reboot |
| [21:06:51] |
* |
chi sighs |
| [21:07:50] |
<bryank> |
does it come back if you unplug the sd reader? |
| [21:09:25] |
<chi> |
too late i just rebooted heh |
| [21:15:42] |
<chi> |
wo0 at the login screen |
| [21:16:36] |
<bryank> |
might help to load the module before plugging in the sd reader then |
| [21:17:00] |
<bryank> |
er, unless you meant the login screen on the zipit? in that case, cool! :-) |
| [21:17:09] |
<chi> |
yea the zipit ;] |
| [21:19:21] |
<bryank> |
great! now you just have to do is get the wireless working (right?) |
| [21:19:55] |
<chi> |
yea |
| [21:22:30] |
<chi> |
does Angstrom-base-image-glibc-ipk-2008.1-test-20080225-zipit2.rootfs.tar include that or do i need to compile it and add it first? |
| [21:23:21] |
<bryank> |
i don't think it's included, but i'm not sure. i built base-image (a few weeks ago) and added the two wireless .ipk files manually. |
| [21:23:31] |
<chi> |
oh ok |
| [21:24:01] |
<bryank> |
(then i added the wireless-image option to the svn repo, but if the current base-image won't boot, then neither will it, so that doesn't help you) |
| [21:24:59] |
<Rossimo> |
if you'll give me about 15 mins, i'll have a link for you with the image of mine, with wireless-tools, matchbox, firefox, etc |
| [21:29:56] |
<chi> |
sweet |
| [21:31:43] |
<Rossimo> |
fyi, it's inside a compressed archive, so you'll have to extract the actual image out of the archive before you can flash the SD card |
| [21:32:35] |
<chi> |
k |
| [21:33:19] |
<Rossimo> |
you can only use certain compression for the actual image file, and i've compressed it inside another tar file to save space. |
| [21:33:19] |
<chi> |
this might be a stupid question but does the z2 have tab complete? or a tab key lol |
| [21:33:25] |
<Rossimo> |
one sec.. |
| [21:33:32] |
<bryank> |
tab key is the big square one in the middle. ;-) |
| [21:33:33] |
<Rossimo> |
yep |
| [21:33:41] |
<chi> |
niceee |
| [21:33:58] |
<bryank> |
(and escape is the smiley-face, too, if you get into insert mode in vi and can't get out) |
| [21:34:00] |
<Rossimo> |
the ESC key is the ":)" button |
| [21:34:38] |
<chi> |
rofl perfect |
| [21:35:58] |
<bryank> |
other keys: "Home" is home, the button in the middle of the arrows is end, and prev/next map to pageup/pagedown |
| [21:35:59] |
<Rossimo> |
bryank: if xkb works, do you know if that means you'll be able to type in the GPE login screen? |
| [21:36:20] |
<bryank> |
never used gpe, so i'm not sure, but i'd hope so... |
| [21:36:45] |
<bryank> |
were none of the keys working before? |
| [21:37:07] |
<Rossimo> |
nope, not in GPE, couldn't pass the login screen |
| [21:37:09] |
<mi_dave> |
Rossimo: how well does firefox run on the Z2? |
| [21:37:31] |
<Rossimo> |
bryank: if you can, you might want to ask Magon more about it |
| [21:37:47] |
<bryank> |
hmm; the issue i had was that only the arrow keys (and a few other special ones) didn't work. the letters worked fine. |
| [21:37:48] |
<Rossimo> |
mi_dave: it takes a minute to open, but it runs fairly well |
| [21:37:49] |
<bryank> |
will do. |
| [21:38:16] |
<Rossimo> |
mi_dave: have fun using the keyboard to navigate it, :P . also, it's version 1.0.7 |
| [21:38:23] |
<mi_dave> |
any idea how much ram firefox is using at a minimum? |
| [21:38:34] |
<Rossimo> |
i can find out... |
| [21:39:07] |
<Rossimo> |
my image has a swapfile, even though i understand that may be taboo |
| [21:39:21] |
<mi_dave> |
swapping to flash? |
| [21:39:46] |
<Rossimo> |
swapping to a file inside the ext2 partition on the miniSD card |
| [21:43:57] |
<Rossimo> |
ah, no pmap |
| [21:44:09] |
<Rossimo> |
but, ps reports "90824" |
| [21:44:27] |
<Rossimo> |
have google up on it |
| [21:44:43] |
<bryank> |
what's free in /proc/meminfo? |
| [21:44:52] |
<bryank> |
(and how much is cached?) |
| [21:45:38] |
<chi> |
damn, those minisd cards realy shoot out |
| [21:45:39] |
<chi> |
lol |
| [21:45:45] |
<chi> |
damn near caught me in the eye |
| [21:45:52] |
<Rossimo> |
http://zipit.pastebin.com/m6e864d2b |
| [21:46:29] |
<bryank> |
so 1meg free, 15meg cached; that means ff is using less than 16megs of actual ram? |
| [21:46:43] |
<bryank> |
er, hang on -- it could be swapped out, so never mind |
| [21:46:46] |
<Rossimo> |
http://clemsonlinux.org/~rossimo/oe-zipit2-image-compressed.tar |

<Rossimo> |
the packaged list of everything on it: http://zipit.pastebin.com/m542a62ec |
| [21:48:04] |
<Rossimo> |
it's basically just my main card i've been playing around with |
| [21:51:00] |
<chi> |
sweet |
| [21:53:15] |
<Rossimo> |
chi: fyi, my image (along with the base image) runs a ssh daemon, so once wireless is up, you should be able to login remotely |
| [21:56:48] |
<chi> |
nice thanks Rossimo ;] |
| [21:57:41] |
<Rossimo> |
oh yeah, and to start X, run "matchbox.sh" in the home directory |
| [21:58:24] |
<Rossimo> |
