[11:01:46] <rkdavis> hi all. santa is going to be delivering my zipit in a few days and wondered if anyone has got an xmpp client say mcabber for example running on it by anychance
[11:02:39] <jhaluska> I haven't heard of one, you could always try to port it
[11:04:17] <unrest> hey jeff =)
[11:11:14] <rkdavis> jhal: yup that was my plan if noone had done so as that's really what i want the zipit for
[11:12:14] <jhaluska> Hi unrest
[11:14:18] <unrest> do you know where i left my charger..?
[11:14:37] <jhaluska> hmmm, last place you used it?
[11:14:52] <unrest> long time ago here in the room i sit in..
[11:20:39] *** g1powermac_PB has quit IRC
[11:21:45] <unrest> hahaaa! =)
[11:21:46] * unrest found it
[11:21:52] <unrest> jhaluska, you're using z2shel and not OE, right?
[11:22:11] <jhaluska> Nope, it says OE
[11:22:20] <unrest> hmmm..
[11:22:28] <unrest> who was it then, telling me that WEP works from z2shell..?
[11:23:38] <unrest> ah, it was echelon..
[11:31:47] <unrest> scratchbox or buildroot?
[11:44:40] <jhaluska> Are you asking me?
[11:44:44] <unrest> the room ;)
[11:51:37] <jhaluska> I believe I attemped buildroot
[11:54:24] *** rkdavis has quit IRC
[12:01:29] *** rkdavis has joined #zipit
[12:24:32] <rkdavis> non-zipit questionbut there wouldn't be any python/py2exe guru's here would there? i have a problem that is exaserbated because i know squat about python
[12:31:42] <jhaluska> rkdavis: I'm not.
[12:32:10] <rkdavis> no worries. and thnx
[12:34:38] <jhaluska> I just know people like getting responses.

[14:52:23] *** unrest_ has quit IRC
[14:52:29] *** unrest_ has joined #zipit
[14:53:56] <unrest_> hmmm... z2shell's hanging after initializing wpa_supplicant.
[15:47:54] *** SB-Zipit has joined #zipit
[15:48:00] <steerpike> it can't connect to the AP?
[15:48:10] <steerpike> udhpc has a long timeout
[15:48:12] <unrest_> the boot frrezes after the wpa-supplicant thingys with the message "daemonize"
[15:48:23] <steerpike> yeah, udhcpc should be commented out as well
[15:48:41] <steerpike> after you run wpa_supplicant manually, you'll have to run `udhcpc -ieth0`
[15:56:34] *** unrest_ is now known as unrest
[15:56:55] <unrest> booting yours now.
[15:57:10] <unrest> does it prompt "/mnt/ffs #" ?
[15:59:02] <steerpike> no
[15:59:34] <steerpike> just "# "
[15:59:39] *** unrest has quit IRC
[15:59:53] *** unrest has joined #zipit
[16:00:13] <steerpike> 15:58 < unrest> does it prompt "/mnt/ffs #" ?
[16:00:13] <steerpike> 16:00 < steerpike> no
[16:00:13] <steerpike> 16:00 < steerpike> just "# "
[16:00:22] <unrest> hmm
[16:00:54] <unrest> obviously it really hangs after executing wpa_supplicant..
[16:01:08] <steerpike> have you dealt with udhcpc?
[16:01:22] <steerpike> i think that's what is causing it to hang
[16:01:31] <unrest> i just booted your version with wpa....conf adapted to my wireless lan
[16:01:48] <unrest> and just executed wpa_supplicant -i eth0 ...
[16:02:03] <steerpike> wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
[16:02:12] <steerpike> -B to go to the background
[16:03:13] <steerpike> you can ctrl + c/ctrl + z out of wpa_supplicant if it hangs
[16:03:23] <unrest> i know
[16:04:29] <unrest> udhcpc does not discover anything..
[16:06:45] <unrest> and static ips don't work either
[16:07:28] <unrest> although my router tells me that the z2 is connected
[16:09:57] <unrest> steerpike, am i root?
[16:10:13] <Limp_Trizkit> # usually denotes root
[16:13:01] <steerpike> unrest: yeah
[16:13:22] <unrest> why doesn't iwconfig eth0 show the wep-key then?
[16:13:39] <steerpike> iwconfig doesn't show keys
[16:14:10] <unrest> it does on my various debian/ubuntu/suse boxes..
[16:14:28] <unrest> "encryption key: [...]" ;)
[16:14:29] <steerpike> hrm, i've never seen it :\
[16:14:53] <unrest> one isnever omniscient =)
[16:16:57] <steerpike> oh, i see what you mean
[16:16:58] <steerpike> nevermind
[16:17:41] <unrest> got a clue what's wrong?
[16:17:43] <steerpike> but are you able to associate with the AP?
[16:17:57] <unrest> the ap says yes, iwconfig says no
[16:18:06] <steerpike> if it is, it should at least show the mac addr of the AP on iwconfig
[16:18:32] <unrest> it does show it as i passed it on the wpa_supplicant.conf
[16:18:48] <steerpike> ok, so it's associated
[16:19:12] <steerpike> so did you try `udhcpc -i eth0` ?
[16:19:17] <unrest> link quality: 0/100 << that what you call associated?
[16:19:23] <unrest> a i wrote above: yes
[16:19:42] <unrest> and i also tried to use a static ip
[16:19:48] <steerpike> unrest: yeah, that's because of the driver
[16:19:54] <unrest> both ways didn't work out
[16:20:14] <steerpike> as long as the AP's mac addr shows on iwconfig, it's associated
[16:21:02] <unrest> good old iwconfig eth0 key on solved it =)
[16:21:11] <unrest> and thereafter udhcpc worked flawlessly..
[16:21:13] <unrest> =)
[16:21:17] <steerpike> ^_^
[16:21:30] <unrest> now i'm curious if it does work in OE, that way, too
[16:21:59] <steerpike> the connection isn't stable if wpa_supplicant isn't running
[16:22:12] <steerpike> it disassociates very quickly
[16:29:23] <unrest> what the hack...
[16:29:52] <unrest> i got this pseudo-useless OE pinging google via WEP
[16:30:44] <unrest> thanks!
[16:30:49] <steerpike> unrest: yeah, i've had this same problem
[16:30:51] <unrest> btw: you might want to tell it to others
[16:31:01] <steerpike> ping isn't able to resolve dns
[16:31:11] <unrest> not on z2shell, but on OE
[16:31:19] <steerpike> on z2shell as well
[16:31:27] <unrest> this is due to busybox sucking
[16:31:31] <steerpike> ah
[16:31:42] <unrest> i meant: it's unable on z2shell, but able on (my) OE
[16:31:49] <steerpike> ah, gotcha
[16:34:15] <steerpike> i'm going to try wpa2 soon
[16:35:39] <unrest> haven't tried it yet as i've got a favour for wep/opn ;)
[16:35:45] <unrest> ad-hoc, btw, works fine
[16:38:08] <unrest> steerpike, you made my day =)
[16:38:13] <steerpike> ^_^
[16:38:35] <steerpike> only annoying thing left is the clicky button presses
[16:39:06] <unrest> indeed, but one gets used to it sorta quickly
[16:39:10] <unrest> at least do i
