anyone awake in here? |
| [00:04:59] |
<chocotaco> |
having a strange issue... |
| [00:07:05] |
<chocotaco> |
I basically dumped my whole scratchbox to an SD card and then I chroot into it and presto, linux system |
| [00:07:12] |
<chocotaco> |
thing is... |
| [00:07:21] |
<chocotaco> |
when I try to run something from an SSH term into the Z2 it works ok |
| [00:07:35] |
<chocotaco> |
examlple, I run directvnc and it all works (except obviously it can't create a framebuffer over the SSH term) |
| [00:07:40] |
<chocotaco> |
but when I run it from the Z2 itself, same steps |
| [00:07:42] |
<chocotaco> |
I still get "not found" |
| [00:12:02] |

chocotaco: you made it statically linked? |
| [00:24:09] |
<steerpik1> |
didn't you come in here a few hours ago, linking to the solution? |
| [00:24:48] |
<chocotaco> |
yes I was here a few hours ago |
| [00:24:52] |
<chocotaco> |
I gave up on static linking |
| [00:24:57] |
<chocotaco> |
actually I got it to run |
| [00:27:00] |
<chocotaco> |
now I just have to get it to work :-) |
| [00:27:09] |
<chocotaco> |
it's actually kind of nicer with dynamic libs |

| [11:57:41] |
<rkdavis> |

<steerpike> |
ah, this is what i just discovered ^_^ |

ugh wife is finished with jury duty now -- got dismissed after 90mins as she knew the jury clerk now she's coming home :( and i have to finish the house work |
| [12:48:08] |

i was going to leave it until after i finished watching my downloads |

lol |

tsk |

and she doesn't know about the second zipit so i have to hope they de;liver it tomorrow now |
| [12:48:48] |
<rkdavis> |
but what's the odds they try to deliver it in maspeth again rather thna brooklyn |

seems i don't have a dvi port on the tv.. just rca/s-video/hdmi |
| [12:56:56] |
<steerpike> |
hey! the specification says one dvi input! |
| [12:58:15] |
<rkdavis> |
you just have to /force/ (with a hammer) the s-video into it -- it'll fit if you hit it hard enough |
| [13:03:19] |
<steerpike> |
hmm.. i have a s-video on my laptop |
| [13:03:56] |
<steerpike> |
but i wanted vga because my mom's laptop doesn't, so she's going to want mine everytime she wants to see something on the tv |

hey steer you'll love this comment from fedex |
| [13:54:45] |
<rkdavis> |
they did try to deliver the packaage am i sure i don't live above an office building because the package said receiving on it so MUST be a business address even though the only business on my street is in the 300s |
| [14:07:37] |
<steerpike> |
lol |
| [14:09:45] |
<rkdavis> |
they were quite rude about it. i said if they tried to deliver to the right place where is the tag (sticker saying it was attempted) as there was not one -- they said he went to an office building because it said receiving and thus they did try to deliver it i then asked what would have happened if someone at the office had accepted it as alot will just take stuff in no matter who it is addressed to then she hung up on me |
| [14:09:50] |
<steerpike> |
just got off with two bestbuy reps, and they both said it had a dvi port, and panasonic rep said it doesn't |
| [14:11:30] |
<steerpike> |
bestbuy won't admit they made a mistake on the website |
| [14:11:50] |
<steerpike> |
hrm |
| [14:12:21] |
<rkdavis> |
:( |
| [14:12:41] |
<steerpike> |
they have kids delivering for fedex |
| [14:12:46] |
<rkdavis> |
ok you take on fedex for me and i'll go beat up the best buy guys for you |
| [14:12:51] |
<steerpike> |
hehe |
| [14:13:13] |
<rkdavis> |
that we we can each claim innocent when the scuffers come to arrest us for beating up the respective groups |
| [14:13:19] |
<rkdavis> |
you wouldn't have beaten up bestbuy or me fedex |
| [14:13:29] |
<steerpike> |
lol |
| [14:18:06] |
<steerpike> |
hrm.. how do you configure s-video out on linux? |
| [14:18:25] |
<steerpike> |
function key + f8 just like with vga? |
| [14:22:06] |
<rkdavis> |
sod knows i never had to do it but i would suspect it's in xorg.conf or the desktop |
| [14:22:29] |
<rkdavis> |
or maybe the system itself i.e. like with a laptop and external crt |
| [14:22:49] |
<steerpike> |
hmm |
| [14:23:56] |
<steerpike> |
does this look good? http://tinyurl.com/6nqvfq |
| [14:24:30] |
<rkdavis> |
not sure -- what do you need this for? video on hd tv? |
| [14:24:34] |
<steerpike> |
yup |
| [14:26:59] |
<rkdavis> |
well never heard of that make but seen similar and 30 bucks isn't too much to waste to try it as you can always palm it off to some other sucker if it's crap |

nein, you need a converter box |
| [14:29:20] |
<steerpike> |
that's what everyone seems to be saying |
| [14:29:30] |
<steerpike> |
besides, those composite/s-video jacks are female |
| [14:32:11] |

prevert |
| [14:32:36] |

you only want male connectors? never heard of a gender bender? :) |

but you are probably right |

i have a crap tv so i just watch on the laptop screen or a crt |

any ideas how to make the framebuffer be 320x240 instead of 240x320 (rotated 90 deg)? |

(hopefully it wasn't answered yet |

<chocotaco> |
unrest, I don't think that will work for DirectFB |
| [23:38:42] |
<chocotaco> |
only for X |
| [23:38:43] |
<chocotaco> |
but thanks |
| [23:38:55] |
<unrest> |
than hack 'round in the sources.. |
| [23:39:14] |
<chocotaco> |
yeah, trying to adapt the target application to rotate the screen now |
| [23:39:25] |
<chocotaco> |
more difficult than one would think |
| [23:39:44] |
<unrest> |
my i ask why not X? |
| [23:39:58] |
<chocotaco> |
just thought FB would be easier/lighter |
| [23:42:05] |
<chocotaco> |
is there an X server that will run on the Z2? |
| [23:42:15] |
<unrest> |
xorg and xfvdev do run |
| [23:42:41] |
<chocotaco> |
how big is all the xorg stuff needed to run that? |
| [23:42:45] |
<chocotaco> |
and how difficult to build it? |
| [23:42:50] |
<chocotaco> |
have you gotten it working? |
| [23:42:56] |
<unrest> |
not xorg (not yet) |
| [23:43:08] |
<unrest> |
xfbdev (kdrive) is _small_ |
| [23:43:11] |

but XF86/xfbdev work? |

<unrest> |
and vie openembedded it was less then easy |
| [23:43:15] |
<unrest> |
yup |
| [23:43:23] |

need the whole XF86 source package eh? |
| [23:43:23] |
<chocotaco> |
maybe I'll try that |
| [23:43:32] |
<unrest> |
of you scratchbox it, you'll need em |
| [23:43:39] |
<chocotaco> |
yeah I got OE to run but I like using scratchbox better |
| [23:43:49] |
<chocotaco> |
more familiar to me |
| [23:44:16] |
<chocotaco> |
I was super stoked to actually see directvnc working, just wish I could get that last mile and get it to be right side up instead of rotated |
| [23:44:25] |
<chocotaco> |
maybe I'll try Xvnc instead |
