hi |
| [03:22:50] |
<unrest> |
Foxx-, ping |
| [03:34:36] |
<Limp_Trizkit> |
i just slapped him on our network |
| [03:34:44] |
<Limp_Trizkit> |
he'll respond momentarily |
| [03:35:35] |
<Foxx-> |
oi |
| [03:35:45] |
* |
Limp_Trizkit dusts off a kitchen towel and slaps it at unrest |
| [03:36:20] |
<unrest> |
Limp_Trizkit, thanks =) |
| [03:36:24] |
<Limp_Trizkit> |
yup |
| [03:36:44] |
<unrest> |
Foxx-, how did you balance your solar dancer without a pcb for the pin to rest? |
| [03:37:18] |
<Foxx-> |
i used a thin piece of plastic salvaged from a plastic container |
| [03:37:53] |
<Foxx-> |
the containers for laundry detergent are nice and thick |
| [03:37:58] |
<unrest> |
and how did you get it into the circuit? |
| [03:38:08] |
<Foxx-> |
i soldered the components together |
| [03:38:19] |
<Foxx-> |
i did something like circuit oragami |
| [03:39:08] |
<Foxx-> |
you can also roll the plastic from soda bottles into tubes |
| [03:39:16] |
<Foxx-> |
slap together the circuit, and put it in the tube |
| [03:39:24] |
<Foxx-> |
then cap it off with hot melt glue |
| [03:39:28] |
<Foxx-> |
or putty epoxy |
| [03:39:52] |
<unrest> |
which sounds somehow best... |
| [03:40:33] |
<Foxx-> |
hot glue is ok for small stuff |
| [03:40:38] |
<Foxx-> |
and a tad easier to work with |
| [03:40:41] |
<Foxx-> |
to each his own |
| [03:40:42] |
<unrest> |
and then it really does balance on the pin? |
| [03:40:52] |
<Foxx-> |
if you set the pin properly, yrs |
| [03:40:56] |
<Foxx-> |
i used a paperclip |
| [03:41:09] |
<Foxx-> |
and i made it so i could bend it int he shape of a 7 |
| [03:46:25] |
<unrest> |
thx =) |
| [03:46:50] |
<Foxx-> |
no prob |
| [03:46:55] |
<Foxx-> |
ive been a wee bit busy lately |
| [03:47:01] |
<Foxx-> |
so whats been going on? |
| [03:47:03] |
<Foxx-> |
any new progress on the Z2? |
| [03:47:13] |
<Foxx-> |
i got debian going to build a base-image |
| [03:47:18] |
<Foxx-> |
i think the current svn is busted |
| [03:47:23] |
<unrest> |
i began to hate it sort of ^^ |
| [03:47:28] |
<Foxx-> |
eh? |
| [03:47:32] |
<unrest> |
well.. OE. |
| [03:47:45] |
<unrest> |
the software in there is..umm.. problematic for a ubuntuusers like me |
| [03:48:13] |
<Foxx-> |
dont bitch then |
| [03:48:17] |
<unrest> |
=) |
| [03:48:23] |
<Foxx-> |
its ubuntus fault for being the utter most un-standard linux distro ever designed |
| [03:48:56] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
It built fine for me on debian |
| [03:49:06] |
<Foxx-> |
well, i had build issues |
| [03:49:11] |
<Foxx-> |
but im an idiot |
| [03:49:15] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
What issues? |
| [03:49:20] |
<Foxx-> |
soooo.... possibly PEBKAC |
| [03:49:36] |
<Foxx-> |
the Z2 hangs on 'Gaining Root' |
| [03:50:55] |
<Foxx-> |
but i saw on the wiki that it was a common issue |
| [03:51:08] |
<Foxx-> |
i used an alternate image, and it built fine |
| [03:51:13] |
<Foxx-> |
but *shrugs* |
| [03:51:30] |
<Foxx-> |
i saw some chatter on IRC about the svn having an issue |
| [03:52:06] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
I guess I got lucky with my svn checkout then |
| [03:53:00] |
<Foxx-> |
i aw you went to HOPE, eh? |
| [03:53:02] |
<Foxx-> |
saw* |
| [03:53:05] |
<Foxx-> |
you mentioned it |
| [03:53:18] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
I did |
| [03:53:30] |
<Foxx-> |
i was gonna go, but it seemes like a media whore poser hax0r event |
| [03:53:38] |
<Foxx-> |
i saw the pannel list and tried not to dry heave |
| [03:53:48] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
Some of the talks were quite good |
| [03:53:48] |
<unrest> |
maybe PEBCAK, but _I_ bitbaked my baseimage on one evening including all the prerequisites.. ;) |
| [03:54:11] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
http://hopetracker.donthax.me has most of the common talks (2600 is ok with the distribution of them...) |
| [03:54:20] |
<Foxx-> |
im not a big fan of 2600 |
| [03:54:28] |
<Foxx-> |
mostly media whores and skript kiddiez |
| [03:54:40] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
Yeah, there was some of that at HOPE, but overall I thought it was quite good |
| [03:54:50] |
<Foxx-> |
are you native to NYC? |
| [03:55:00] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
No |
| [03:55:28] |
<Foxx-> |
ahhh, thats why then |
| [03:55:31] |
<Foxx-> |
i live in NYC |
| [03:55:38] |
<Foxx-> |
i have to deal with poser bullshit on a constant basis |
| [03:55:48] |
<Foxx-> |
i mostly keep to myself these days |
| [04:04:41] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
Hmm... anyone have kismet working on the zipit? |
| [04:04:57] |
<Foxx-> |
i dont even have wireless-tools working yet |
| [04:05:28] |
<Foxx-> |
im trying to finish off my Z1 for now |
| [04:05:55] |
<unrest> |
ATravelingGeek, is ther a OE recipe or does it need to be compiled from scratch? |
| [04:05:58] |
<Foxx-> |
that has just been sitting around for a year waiting for me to find the time to get the buildroot working |
| [04:06:03] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
unrest: there's an OE recipie |
| [04:06:14] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
But there's no driver for kismac that I can find |
| [04:06:17] |
<ATravelingGeek> |
s/kismac/kismet/ |
| [04:48:01] |
<unrest> |
hehehe |
| [04:48:35] |

I have a couple of not very trustworthy G5 systems and a 15" MBP |
| [20:46:40] |
<TechCentric-Nick> |
i have a couple of old worlds and a g3 in the basement |
| [20:46:48] |
<TechCentric-Nick> |
and a g3 imac for the trash |
| [20:46:57] |
<TechCentric-Nick> |
because i got it in poor condition |
| [20:47:01] |
<g1powermac> |
nice |
| [20:47:11] |
<crazymonkeypants> |
The MBP is my main system and not really available |

<g1powermac> |
lemme know if you ever want to get rid of the old worlds. . .I like collecting the stuff |

Why does every article about setting up a Linux machine start with "on your Linux machine, do <blah>" |

Good evening. I'm attempting to set up an openembedded build, as described on the wiki, and am getting an error "ERROR: Unable to open conf/bitbake.conf" when I attempt to build the base-image. |
