[11:13:56] <unrest> hi
[11:14:28] <jhaluska> hi unrest
[11:14:17] <unrest> any progress with OE while i was "offline"?
[11:15:42] <jhaluska> Nope :/
[11:15:51] <jhaluska> I still don't have wifi
[11:41:36] <unrest> in over one month no development??
[11:41:38] <unrest> ouch
[11:42:23] <jhaluska> Well, I haven't been working on it.
[11:42:47] <jhaluska> I got a new hard disk, once I get my new memory in I'm going to have room to develop on my laptop.
[11:44:39] <Foxx> mine took a shit as well
[11:44:14] <Foxx> the power supply connector is breaking away, im waiting for the OEM to send a replacement, but thats taking forever
[11:44:34] <Foxx> $20 says the intempt warenty department lost the order in their eFiling system :/
[11:56:42] <jhaluska> :(
[11:58:45] <switchcat> Well, if they did, how do we prove what happened and then how do we know who wins the bet? :P
[12:28:15] *** Mathman952 has quit IRC
[13:59:11] *** Mathman952 has joined #zipit
[14:34:11] <echelon> Foxx: are you using the shell hack or oe?
[14:34:36] <echelon> i have to link wavemon with uclibc if you're using the shell hack
[15:04:26] <Foxx> shell hack
[15:04:35] <Foxx> for now
[15:08:44] *** Mathman952 has quit IRC
[15:33:00] <Foxx> i havent been able to get OE to build properly
[15:33:38] <jhaluska> unrest: You should hang out here more often.
[15:34:07] <unrest> if i hadthe time to, i would
[15:34:16] <unrest> why, though?
[15:34:54] <jhaluska> So you can help me get wifi working after I get my new hard disk installed in my laptop.
[15:35:07] <unrest> haha ^^
[15:35:18] <unrest> afaik only ad-hoc and wpa work..
[15:35:44] <unrest> brb
[15:41:28] <jhaluska> Could you hook up a USB mouse to the ZipIt?
[15:42:12] <Foxx> i dont think so
[15:42:35] <Foxx> seems the cradle connector on the back only supports USB Client mode
[15:43:12] <Foxx> although i know the CPU does have USB host, i dont know if there are pads on the board for it
[15:44:09] <unrest> the back connector is usb-gadget
[15:44:22] <unrest> and the pins for input are afaik under the cpu
[15:44:24] <jhaluska> And then you could port Quake to it right?
[15:49:20] <Foxx> echelon: I need to head out for a few hours, if you can compile Wavemon and such for me, that'd be bad-ass, ill PM you with a link to upload
[15:50:48] <jhaluska> What is Wavemon?
[15:51:27] <Foxx> wifi scanner
[15:53:02] <unrest> s/scanner/monitor/
[15:53:06] <unrest> ;)
[15:53:22] <unrest> airodump's a scanner
[15:54:08] <jhaluska> ooooh neat
[16:06:00] <echelon> airodump requires monitor mode :P
[16:07:11] *** TwinReverb has joined #zipit
[16:07:17] <TwinReverb> sweeeeeeeeeeeeettt
[16:07:24] <echelon> wat
[16:07:26] <TwinReverb> ok, i'm a newbie, so i have a question
[16:07:49] <echelon> yeah?
[16:07:52] <TwinReverb> i am going to south korea. i'm military. i just need something i can use to hold my appointments in
[16:08:08] <TwinReverb> how hackable is the zipit?
[16:08:12] <echelon> i thought i knew you
[16:08:22] <echelon> from ##slackware ^_^
[16:08:50] <TwinReverb> yes :D
[16:09:01] <echelon> TwinReverb: zipit is very hackable, the developments just going very slow
[16:09:13] <echelon> i'm not allowed there :(
[16:09:36] <TwinReverb> echelon, why not?
[16:10:00] <echelon> i forkbombed some guy in the channel, so now i'm permbanned
[16:09:34] <echelon> so when did you get yours Z2?
[16:11:26] <TwinReverb> i don't own one: i'm pricing and researching
[16:11:39] <echelon> oh
[16:12:12] <echelon> well, we don't have a gui ready yet
[16:12:30] <echelon> though x does work
[16:13:36] <unrest> if you don'T want/need x you can use nano or vi to hold your appointments.. *scnr* :)
[16:14:11] <echelon> or write a nice ncurses app
[16:14:29] <echelon> with a flat file db
[16:14:54] <unrest> xserver-kdrive combined with some calendar app is the best solution for you, i'd say
[16:15:01] <unrest> no gui login etc.
[16:15:19] <unrest> just some stupid script that starts x, waits and then starts your app
[16:15:25] <echelon> gui requires a mouse usually
[16:15:32] <echelon> no mouse support yet
[16:15:41] <unrest> and softmouse's not quite working - at least not for me
[16:16:06] <unrest> but those who add a serial port might use a serial mouse...
[16:16:17] <echelon> i tried xserver-kdrive with dillo, i couldn't move anything with the arrow keys
[16:16:21] <unrest> so this is the (imho) best way to go
[16:16:59] <echelon> i think the problem is kdrive
[16:17:16] <echelon> i can't find mousekey support for it
[16:17:31] <unrest> there isn't
[16:17:38] <echelon> oh lol
[16:17:42] <unrest> you need the regular Xserver
[16:17:51] <unrest> ;)
[16:17:52] <echelon> the horror...
[16:18:03] <unrest> huh?
[16:18:19] <echelon> well.. we'll just have to add mousekey support
[16:19:43] <unrest> here's a mail i got from karosium (the guy or gal who hacked sofmouse into nano-x for the Z1):
[16:19:47] <unrest> Hi there,
[16:19:47] <unrest> I only ever coded up a softmouse driver for nanoX, From what I can gather X has MouseKeys built-in, you might just not be able to activate it by default (seeing how the key combination is Shift-(Alt)-NumLock).
[16:19:48] <unrest> This might help with that: http://www.geocities.jp/fred_b_maciel/kbd/kbd-e.html
[16:19:48] <unrest> If you're interested in the nanoX softmouse driver though, let me know and see if I can find the source.
[16:19:48] <unrest> Good luck,
[16:19:49] <unrest> karo
[16:20:39] <unrest> it might be worth a shot for people who love source-digging and linux drivers.. ;)
[16:20:57] <unrest> anyway. i'm off to bed
[16:21:13] <TwinReverb> echelon, talk to alienBOB about getting back on ##slackware
[16:21:20] <unrest> (i promise to try to be here more often! ;) )
[16:21:23] <unrest> good night
[16:22:01] <echelon> TwinReverb: i did a few weeks ago
[16:22:13] <TwinReverb> i.e. right now
[16:23:34] <echelon> rworkman was the one that placed the ban
[16:24:15] <echelon> you spoke to him now?
[16:28:02] <switchcat> why would you be banned from #slackware?
[16:28:19] <switchcat> or ##
[16:30:27] <echelon> scroll up
[16:34:32] *** TwinReverb has left #zipit
[16:35:23] <echelon> There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary, and those who get laid.
[16:37:43] <c0deman> not ture i get both :)
[16:38:13] <echelon> ^_^
[16:45:02] <switchcat> forkbombed?
[16:49:19] <echelon> it exhausts the cpu until there's no more resources available
[16:49:47] <echelon> it's temporary you just need to do a hard reboot
[16:54:04] <switchcat> how did you possibly do that to someone?
[16:56:53] <c0deman> more to the point WHY ?
[17:00:47] <echelon> c0deman: because he just gave the shell account to his box in public chat :P
[17:00:50] <echelon> taught him a lesson
[17:01:23] <c0deman> ok i agree with that one then :)
[17:02:25] <echelon> fork bombs are simple and works even in userspace
[17:06:53] *** jhaluska has quit IRC
[17:09:58] <switchcat> well, I could see why they banned you for that one.
[17:09:24] <switchcat> with great power comes great responsibility. :P

[23:40:42] <unrest> good morning folks =)
[23:41:44] <unrest> echelon, fork bombs can easily be prevented (ulimit's the way to go)... :)
[23:42:30] <echelon> ja
[23:42:38] <unrest> du bist deutsch?
[23:42:49] <echelon> nein
[23:42:54] <unrest> aber?
[23:52:12] <echelon> my distro doesn't have ulimit
[23:52:30] <echelon> oh, nvm
[23:53:38] <echelon> where's the ulimit config file?
[23:54:38] <unrest> is there any?
[23:54:43] <unrest> ulimit -u 30 << 30 processes peruser
[23:54:47] <unrest> per user*
[23:56:29] <echelon> ah, nvm.. i was referring to /etc/limits
[23:56:43] <unrest> hehe
[23:56:45] <echelon> i don't have that
[23:56:50] <echelon> i have ulimit
[23:57:38] <unrest> surprise, surprise ;)
[23:58:27] <echelon> i'd prefer /etc/limits :P
