[00:29:02] *** asantoni has quit IRC
[00:41:11] *** alyawn is now known as alyawn_
[00:56:59] *** crazymonkeypants has joined #zipit
[01:53:54] <crazymonkeypants> alyawn: I found the bits I wanted you to tweak
[01:54:01] <crazymonkeypants> It's actually just the GPIO driver I need rebuilt
[02:33:31] *** unrest has joined #zipit
[02:33:49] <unrest> good morning
[02:34:47] <Limp_Trizkit> well, it IS 1:34am
[02:34:58] <unrest> 8:34am ;)
[02:35:17] <Limp_Trizkit> yeah well
[02:35:21] <Limp_Trizkit> you're eastern europe
[02:35:26] <unrest> o.0
[02:35:31] <Limp_Trizkit> no?
[02:35:35] <unrest> germany ain't eastern europe 0.o
[02:35:44] <Limp_Trizkit> germany is GMT +2?
[02:35:55] <unrest> summer/winter time
[02:36:03] <Limp_Trizkit> ah
[02:36:13] <Limp_Trizkit> my apologies for not thinking
[02:36:17] <Limp_Trizkit> but like i said
[02:36:19] <unrest> =)
[02:36:20] <Limp_Trizkit> it's 1:34am
[02:36:33] <unrest> so it applies in you timezone, too =)
[02:36:41] <Limp_Trizkit> heh
[02:36:45] <Limp_Trizkit> yes...
[02:36:48] <Limp_Trizkit> :P
[02:37:01] <Limp_Trizkit> currently 15C...
[02:37:08] <Limp_Trizkit> probably closer to 30 inside...
[02:37:35] <Limp_Trizkit> (yes, i converted that for you; no, you don't have to thank me)
[02:38:02] <unrest> 15.1°C outside 21°C inside...
[02:38:41] <Limp_Trizkit> shame i don't have my temp probe down here
[03:01:22] <unrest> do you have a long backlog of this irc channel you can grep through, Limp_Trizkit?
[03:01:47] <Limp_Trizkit> only as long as i've been here
[03:01:50] <Limp_Trizkit> which makes that about two days
[03:01:54] <unrest> hm.. k
[03:14:43] <unrest> i forgot the command that gives me the keycodes of a key when it's pressed.. any ideas?
[03:21:12] <unrest> xev under x..
[03:21:13] <unrest> well
[03:22:03] <unrest> showkey! =)
[03:24:39] <unrest> are "options" and "home" mapped someplace?
[03:32:12] *** drmikecrowe has quit IRC
[03:32:15] *** [1]drmikecrowe has joined #zipit
[03:35:37] <unrest> i now the keycodes, i know how to link keypress to mouse action, but what i don't know yet is how to trigger mousekeys with some "custom" command - as we don't have "numlock" as a button..
[03:37:31] <unrest> if i find it out, it'll take on/two days to fine-tune the pointer's behaviour, thoug
[03:37:39] <unrest> one/two*
[03:38:00] <unrest> the next problem'd be the not really logging in gpe-login..
[03:42:52] <unrest> xkbset can toggle mousekeys, but there's no package for it in OE ;/
[03:48:37] *** FireEgl has quit IRC
[04:05:45] <unrest> compiling xkbset from scratch fails due to some missing xlibs..
[04:28:50] <unrest> dammit
[04:29:02] <unrest> i cannot use xmodmap without an xserver running..
[04:32:04] <unrest> it appears that showkeys does not show the keycodes used under x..
[04:41:32] *** FireEgl has joined #ZipIt
[05:02:16] <unrest> the xserver used by gpe seems to hve mousekeys disabled...
[05:03:39] <unrest> or the implementation is broken
[05:03:59] <unrest> i remapped the keypad keys as well as numlock to other keys..
[05:04:20] <unrest> apparently i can activate mousekeys, but the remapped keys won't move the pointer
[05:06:09] <unrest> i know that i got the right keycodes, because i prevented gpe-login from running (when launching gpe-dm) and started xev instead which printed me the keycodes to stdout
[05:34:34] <unrest> [1]drmikecrowe, how many keystrokes _at once_ can the hardware handle?
[05:39:37] <unrest> XK_Pointer_EnableKeys...
[05:58:23] <unrest> .. or not
[06:24:03] *** g1powermac_PB has joined #zipit
[06:33:18] <[1]drmikecrowe> unrest, heading into work now. will find out
[06:33:33] <unrest> [1]drmikecrowe, thank you! =)

[09:07:41] *** alyawn_ is now known as alyawn
[09:10:36] <alyawn> morning
[09:10:42] <unrest> morning alyawn
[09:10:53] *** GPSFan has joined #zipit
[09:10:57] <unrest> made no progress yet.. :/
[09:11:18] <unrest> installed all the "not found"'s
[09:11:31] <unrest> changed the path where the 99gpe-login script looks for xmodmap, but x still crashes after login
[09:11:36] <alyawn> well... I can safely say that the problem isn't happening because of missing packages
[09:11:49] <unrest> no real progress with sofmouse either
[09:11:59] <alyawn> I did the same... disabled everything, but gpe-login continue's to fail
[09:12:08] <unrest> i know how/where to remap the keys
[09:12:15] <alyawn> cool...
[09:12:23] <unrest> so i remapped some to numpad, but the mousekeys implementation is either missing or broken
[09:12:36] <alyawn> I've been digging through gpe-login.c to try and figure out what's supposed to happen
[09:12:44] <unrest> so?
[09:12:49] <alyawn> bummer re: mouse
[09:12:59] <alyawn> no resolution yet
[09:13:08] <alyawn> starting again this AM :)
[09:13:30] <unrest> at least we got the screen orientation right, yet
[09:13:31] * unrest giggles
[09:13:58] <alyawn> yes... at least :)
[09:14:18] <alyawn> and I know how to build and install packages
[09:14:40] <alyawn> and I know all about X's startup procedures
[09:15:52] <unrest> and i spent about 5hours today fiddling with xkbd, xmodmap etc..
[09:17:45] <unrest> oh..
[09:18:01] <alyawn> I attempted to get some help from #handhelds-gpe, but no one was home
[09:18:32] <unrest> if you want to start some x-needing programs add "exec YOURPROGRAM" before "exec gpe-dm" in /etc/X11/Xinit.d/99gpe-login
[09:19:42] <alyawn> yes... it seems that X is happy....
[09:19:47] <alyawn> but gpe isn't
[09:20:36] <unrest> it's missing locales..
[09:21:04] <alyawn> yeah... but I'm not sure that's the actual problem either
[09:21:45] <unrest> it isn't as i satisfied it's need..
[09:23:45] <alyawn> what app is gpe-login supposed to run to display the desktop?
[09:24:38] <unrest> which windowmanager you mean?
[09:24:40] <unrest> matchbox
[09:27:00] <unrest> hahaa!
[09:27:17] <unrest> if we bypass gpe-login we can easily run matchbox..
[09:28:15] <alyawn> ha!!!
[09:28:31] <unrest> so it's gpe-login itself being b0rked
[09:28:34] <alyawn> yep
[09:28:41] <unrest> why didn't i think of bypassing it earlier? :/
[09:28:58] <alyawn> too many red herrings
[09:29:25] <alyawn> no keyboard nav in matchbox...
[09:29:31] <unrest> you can use it
[09:29:40] <unrest> it doesn't show where you focus is, thouh
[09:29:48] <unrest> hit enter to see where your "pointer" is
[09:29:54] <alyawn> heh... you're right
[09:30:00] <alyawn> no focus == bad
[09:31:10] <unrest> therefore we need the mouse..

[09:32:38] <unrest> http://www.linux.com/articles/114012
[09:32:38] <unrest> http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen/software/
[09:33:12] <unrest> keycodes: up: 103, down: 108, left: 105, right: 106, nippleinthemiddle: 107
[09:33:24] <unrest> comma is 51 and colon is 52
[09:33:32] <unrest> (in case you want to experiment with xmodmap, too)
[09:34:40] <alyawn> ok... will start reading
[09:37:55] *** jhaluska has joined #zipit
[09:46:23] <alyawn> so, do you know the best way to add a patch to the OE build, say if I was able to fix gpe-login or something
[09:58:59] <unrest> place the patch in the gpe-login directory and add the path to the patch to the .bb recipe for gpe-login
[09:59:10] <unrest> meta/packages/gpe-login would be the path..
[10:03:09] <alyawn> sweet... thanks
[10:06:39] * unrest tries to build the latest svn build of gpe-login
[10:10:49] <unrest> it builds
[10:10:51] <unrest> it runs
[10:10:53] <unrest> it fails
[10:17:52] *** drmikecrowe has joined #zipit
[10:18:11] <alyawn> so do you build it using bitbak
[10:18:16] <jhaluska> Hey Mike
[10:18:16] <unrest> yup
[10:18:22] <drmikecrowe> hey folks
[10:18:24] <unrest> alyawn, bitbake -b path/to/recipe
[10:18:38] <unrest> hi drmikecrowe
[10:18:40] <drmikecrowe> unrest, I checked, and we think it should be as many as you want.
[10:18:46] <unrest> drmikecrowe, thanks for checking :)
[10:18:54] <drmikecrowe> :D
[10:18:57] <unrest> then there's some other problem...
[10:19:10] <unrest> .., so i shouldn't thank you at all, as it means moe work! ;)
[10:19:10] <drmikecrowe> ?
[10:19:17] <drmikecrowe> what problem?
[10:19:52] <unrest> i thought that there's the possibility of not enugff keys at once, so i cannot activate mouskeys, but as you now told me it isn't possible anymore..
[10:19:59] <unrest> mousekeys*
[10:21:04] <drmikecrowe> hahaha. Sorry.
[10:21:20] <drmikecrowe> GPE mapped the arrow keys into the mouse somehow. FYI
[10:21:35] <unrest> reference to that?
[10:22:40] <drmikecrowe> magon built me an app based on GPE one time. the GPE gui/system/whatever was able to use the arrow keys as the mouse. When you pressed the Z key, it toggled between arrows and mouse
[10:24:17] <unrest> the z-button is used as <tab>
[10:24:25] <unrest> do you still have the app?
[10:24:45] <drmikecrowe> right (actually, now that I think about it, maybe it was the options button). Whichever it was, there was a keyboard code which toggled the mode
[10:24:57] <drmikecrowe> I wanted to see if that was a GPE specific think, or something we could pull out and make generic
[10:26:09] <jhaluska> drmikecrowe: In the Z3, can you work on making the keypad more SSH/linux console friendly? :)
[10:26:13] <drmikecrowe> It was still rough. You could only do right angles (go left, then up). Would be nice if it could sample 2 at once
[10:26:24] <drmikecrowe> jhaluska, in what respect?
[10:26:40] <jhaluska> ctrl, alt, f1 keys, hmm
[10:26:54] <unrest> or some kind of clit-mouse like in ibm thinkpads..
[10:27:11] <jhaluska> drmikecrowe: I'll give better feedback once I get a 2GB Mini card.
[10:27:15] <jhaluska> I should have some coming in at work next week.
[10:27:30] <unrest> drmikecrowe, none of the "extra" key toggle such a mode.. :/
[10:27:52] <drmikecrowe> hmmm, we can see. space is always a premium. With the primary function being IM/SMS chat, it's hard justifying more.
[10:28:05] <drmikecrowe> yeah, in the app, that pops up a screen to enter the special keys you want
[10:29:17] <jhaluska> drmikecrowe: Yeah I understand. There must be some sort of happy compromise, maybe do some statistics on what keys are used the most to reduce the extra key strokes.
[10:48:13] <unrest> drmikecrowe, so? do you still have that code from magon?
[10:48:56] <drmikecrowe> Unfortunately, no. he gave me the executable, but nothing else. However, I *think* he just built a GPE app in OE. I don't think he did more than that
[10:49:16] <unrest> when was the last tim you have seen him?
[10:50:53] <drmikecrowe> I saw he and T0mW chatting last week. He's on summer vacation right now (goes to school in Prague)
[10:51:02] <unrest> fuck
[10:51:38] <drmikecrowe> do you have OE up and running?
[10:51:54] <unrest> sure
[10:52:27] <drmikecrowe> Look through and choose a GPE app and give it a shot. I know he didn't invest too much time in this, so it's pretty standard, IMHO
[10:53:41] <unrest> i already did
[10:53:48] <unrest> as i told you above.. ;)
[11:00:50] <alyawn> hey... if you run matchbox via `/etc/matchbox/session` then you get focus highlighting
[11:04:25] <alyawn> well... I guess that's the same as running matchbox-session
[11:05:00] <unrest> bbl (or tomorrow
[11:05:29] <unrest> training
[11:05:32] <unrest> laters =)

[15:00:49] <jhaluska> Hey T0mW, done with painting?
[15:05:50] <T0mW> nope
[15:06:10] <jhaluska> I bought a project car. I had it delivered this morning before work.
[15:06:25] <T0mW> finally got the rugs and padding removed. Now I have to pry up staples from the subfloors]
[15:06:59] <jhaluska> Redoing the carpet?
[15:16:13] *** unrest has joined #zipit
[15:17:52] * unrest returns
[15:22:13] <jhaluska> wb mr unrest
[15:22:48] <unrest> for you "mr. lenz", mr. haluska (?)
[15:23:06] <jhaluska> Yeah, I'll forget that :)
[15:23:12] <jhaluska> But yes, my last name is Haluska
[15:27:04] <unrest> T0mW, good evening
[15:27:27] <unrest> do you coincidentially know how to get past gpe-login by logging in or how to emulate the mouse like magon (reportedly) did?
[15:42:21] <T0mW> unrest: no, I haven't done much except to get it up to the gpe-login, then the house purchase went through.
[15:42:40] <unrest> real life first =)
[15:42:51] <T0mW> unrest: I've been busy busy. Working with a new client in the day and working at getting the house ready at night
[15:43:10] <T0mW> I have to rip out the copper plumbing and replace it with PEX next.
[15:43:11] <unrest> sounds like work 24/7..
[15:43:22] <unrest> i thought you were already tearing those tubes out?!
[15:43:26] <T0mW> feels good though to be this active.
[15:43:44] <unrest> i'd b pissed because of the stress...
[15:44:41] <unrest> activity in your age is god, though. :)
[15:44:54] <unrest> but don't stress yourself to a stroke, old man ;)
[15:45:00] <unrest> s/god/good/
[15:45:02] <T0mW> unrest: naw, got the rug and padding out of the family room last night. Started pulling the staples out of the subfloor also. Will have to continue with that tonight
[15:46:06] <jhaluska> He's not that old, sheesh.
[15:46:12] <T0mW> heh
[15:46:37] <unrest> jhaluska, he's more than two times older than me... so he's almost a mummy... ;)
[15:46:58] <T0mW> well, I'm old enough that the 20-something gals don't interest me anymore. give me a 30 year old babe!
[15:47:05] <jhaluska> I think he's twice as old as me too, but I don't think you're old till you're in a nursing home.
[15:47:08] <unrest> the carpet's glued i guess - cause it takes you so long yet
[15:47:37] <jhaluska> And the older you get the, older old gets :P
[15:48:16] <unrest> T0mW, ouch... THAT old? or is the "gimme a gal that could be my granddaughter" phase yet to come?
[15:48:31] <unrest> wow
[15:48:46] <T0mW> lol
[15:49:03] <T0mW> hey, they all look good
[15:49:14] <T0mW> excepting the geriatrics
[16:10:33] <unrest> T0mW, you ran gpe-image yet, didn't you? did the normal gpe-image pass you through gpe-login?
[16:16:40] <unrest> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofn8-3SWd8M
[16:23:49] <alyawn> thanks for that!
