bla cant figure this out.why are some folders not showing up on my ps3...[beeing shared from windows home server] |
| [10:56:05] |
<jagsph__> |
because samba sucks |
| [10:57:20] |
<Mcavity> |
not a samba problem |
| [10:57:52] |
<Mcavity> |
probably do to crapyness of the dnla server / medai shareing of windows home server |
| [10:58:26] |
<jagsph__> |
Its most likely something to do with the filenames |
| [10:58:41] |
<Mcavity> |
if i use a 3rd party app to serve [and transcode] the files that works.. but i want the built in app to work as its lower overhead.. and i dont have that much to spare. |
| [11:05:07] |
<Mcavity> |
bla. |
| [11:09:52] |
<jagsph__> |
Mcavity: maybe you should purchase microsoft certified compatible hardware |

i use my ps3 as a media center. and i can work around the problems.. i just wish i didnt have to. |
| [11:13:12] |
<Mcavity> |
ps3 media server is a great app. just didnt want to HAVE to use it if i could get away with it. |
| [11:14:07] |

im just giving you crap, but you can blame microsoft |

hehe |
| [11:19:10] |
<jagsph__> |
but seriously rkdavis got usb working |
| [11:19:39] |
<jagsph__> |
he removed the cpu from the board and soldered in a couple wires..... |
| [11:19:45] |
<jagsph__> |
re-attached it... |
| [11:19:51] |
<jagsph__> |
he has the first usb on pxa270 |
| [11:20:01] |
<rkdavis> |
heh |
| [11:20:10] |
<rkdavis> |
no i don't but i have a theory |
| [11:20:29] |
<rkdavis> |
and it worked on treo's from what i was able to google and talk to the guy who did on the treo's |
| [11:21:14] |
<rkdavis> |
but i'm busy for the next couple of days so i can't do anything baout it and i want to talk to some zipit guru's first anyway |

omgusb! |

| [11:21:58] |
<jagsph__> |
rkdavis also fixed uboot so we can install netbsd on the device too |
| [11:22:16] |
<rkdavis> |
Adnyxo: it'll only work if the current usb is wired up on the right usb thingy internally but if it is then it's possible |
| [11:22:42] |
<jagsph__> |
i like your technical term, ... thingy |
| [11:23:19] |

hey how do you guys clean the screen on your zipit¿?? |
| [12:09:00] |
<Adnyxo> |
my usual static free cloth does not work, it streaks |
| [12:25:15] |
<rkdavis> |
Adnyxo: i put mine in the dishwasher with lots of soap |
| [12:25:27] |
<rkdavis> |
ok takes 7 days to dry out but it's sparkling |
| [12:29:53] |
<Adnyxo> |
seriously, i have streaks all over the screen and its driving me nuts |
| [12:30:31] |
<rkdavis> |
seriously i used an lcd wipe then a glasses microfiber rag |
| [12:30:43] |
<Reddog^> |
i vouch for dishwasher as well |
| [12:33:23] |
<Adnyxo> |
lcd wipe? |
| [12:33:49] |
<rkdavis> |
yup you can find them in places like radio shack or staples |
| [12:34:01] |
<rkdavis> |
they are alcohol moisened wipes |
| [12:34:28] |
<rkdavis> |
they work well but can leave streaks so then a microfibre cloth will buff those out |

get your rma figured out? |
| [17:14:40] |
<Aelius> |
yeah, thanks |
| [17:15:19] |
<Aelius> |
Ive emailed them a few days ago but they didnt respond |
| [17:15:49] |
<jagsph__> |
yeh, i asked a stupid question to asrock a week ago and they havent responded yet about cpu support on an agp am2+ board |
| [17:15:49] |
<Aelius> |
and neither is the other guy I now wish to make a return to... |
| [17:16:02] |
<jagsph__> |
figures. |
| [17:16:29] |
<Aelius> |
lol. someone is conspiring against me |
| [17:16:46] |
<jagsph__> |
they figure if they piss you off enough you will keep it and just buy another and not rma |
| [17:17:04] |
<Aelius> |
heh |
| [17:17:24] |
<jagsph__> |
i dont generally rma, i return and buy another if its broken |
| [17:18:16] |
<Aelius> |
well this one is 5 years old. I didnt think I could rma, so I bought another off ebay |
| [17:18:59] |
<Aelius> |
but my tech teacher tells me a broken capacitor is grounds for rma no matter how old |
| [17:19:34] |
<jagsph__> |
yeh watch someone return an 8086 for a broken capacitor...... |
| [17:19:39] |
<Aelius> |
so now this ebay motherboard sucks and i want my money back |
| [17:20:59] |
<Aelius> |
i intend to build a new system, but it kills me to have a pile of good, albeit old, parts just rusting |
| [17:21:15] |
<jagsph__> |
sell them on ebay as is |
| [17:21:49] |
<Aelius> |
but i love my computer :< |
| [17:22:11] |
<jagsph__> |
Remember the hackers movie? when the kid was having withdrawl syndrome? heh |
| [17:22:13] |
<jagsph__> |
that is you. |
| [17:22:23] |
<Aelius> |
yep |
| [17:23:11] |
<Aelius> |
well the law is on my side with the return, and this rma will cost only $10 |
| [17:23:50] |
<Aelius> |
10 is worth it for having two running systems |
| [17:24:27] |
<jagsph__> |
I suppose you are right. The effort is almost not worth it though depending on the speed of the hardware. |
| [17:25:34] |
<Aelius> |
Its all high end stuff. I can play modern games at decent framerates, which is unbeleivable to everyone i know |
| [17:25:58] |
<Aelius> |
over $2000 to build |
| [17:26:56] |
<Aelius> |
even so, any age computer is good to have around for misc cpu crunching |
| [17:27:41] |
<Aelius> |
so i can use one computer without lag, and still transcode videos at the same time |
| [17:28:00] |
<Aelius> |
meh im just crazy |
| [17:32:47] |
<jagsph__> |
very cool |
| [17:33:07] |
<jagsph__> |
Aelius: im trying to get a motherboard and i dont know if it supports the processor i bought |
| [17:33:56] |
<jagsph__> |
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=AM2NF3-VSTA I want it because it supports my ram and video card that I put a large investment into... plus this board supports 16gb of ram |
| [17:34:23] |
<jagsph__> |
Their CPU support list doesnt list my serial number. So im a little worried about that. |
| [17:34:44] |
<Aelius> |
if the sockets match |
| [17:34:50] |
<Aelius> |
should be good |
| [17:35:08] |
<jagsph__> |
Well i wont be out really anything im getting the board for like $30 |
| [17:35:27] |
<jagsph__> |
Also, I read socket 754 is the same as am2/3 |
| [17:35:42] |
<jagsph__> |
I dont know the accuracy on that. |
| [17:37:27] |
<Aelius> |
not sure |
| [17:37:45] |

Ok Let me know if it works right and what I need to change |

Aelius: the scripts are in /usr/share/netconfig the wpa script is in applets folder named accordingly |

Aelius: im going to disable the desktop... it doesnt need it anymore now that lxpanel is working so well... But i need to find out if i can do a shortcut key to the lxpanel main menu |
| [18:14:08] |
<jagsph__> |
lxpanel is saving on resources and giving a lot of functionality.... rox-filer is still integrated as a file manager though. |
| [18:14:33] |
<Aelius> |
k |
| [18:17:47] |
<Adnyxo> |
are you changing to lxpanel jagsph |
| [18:20:02] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: yes, its included in the current release... but rox is running also... rox is just using too many resources |
| [18:20:37] |
<Adnyxo> |
cool, i havnt upgraded yet as im moving to fedora 12 |
| [18:20:52] |
<Adnyxo> |
i like how lxpanel looks |
| [18:21:09] |
<jagsph__> |
Yeh, so do I. I used it on my desktop. Im trying to see if I can do a shortcut key for the menu |
| [18:22:12] |
<Aelius> |
jagsph__: seems to work |

<jagsph__> |
Aelius: works OOB perfectly? |

Aelius: do you have any suggestions for changes... Im pretty much done with setting up the UI except for finding out how to do an lxpanel hotkey |
| [18:31:57] |
<Aelius> |
for the system or just wifi? |
| [18:32:11] |
<jagsph__> |
For any part of the system... |
| [18:32:19] |
<jagsph__> |
including wifi if u have something for that |
| [18:33:16] |
<Aelius> |
Id make the power button open a script for power saving settings |
| [18:34:40] |
<Adnyxo> |
suggestions? flash |
| [18:34:42] |
<Adnyxo> |
lol |
| [18:34:44] |
<Aelius> |
eg, option for shutdown, lights on/off |
| [18:35:00] |
<jagsph__> |
Aelius: How about scripting in a control panel for editing /etc/lid-daemon.sh |
| [18:35:31] |
<Aelius> |
ok |
| [18:35:34] |
<jagsph__> |
Thats where all of the values are stored and the actions for power button and inserting and removing headphones etc.. |
| [18:36:06] |
<jagsph__> |
If someone puts some stupid values in there they wont have a screen they can see though heh |
| [18:37:09] |
<Aelius> |
if it doesnt exist already, it would be good to have keyboard light toggle |
| [18:37:16] |
<Aelius> |
quick access |
| [18:37:46] |
<jagsph__> |
Aelius: i can do that but since its scripted as soon as you close the lid it would turn them off |
| [18:38:08] |
<Aelius> |
k |
| [18:38:11] |
<jagsph__> |
It would not re-activate them when it is opened.... I could do something with killing the pid of the script and re-initializing it... i think |
| [18:38:39] |
<Aelius> |
nah, it wouldnt be worth the cpu |
| [18:39:18] |
<Aelius> |
i'd be fine with having to reactivate it on every close |
| [18:39:45] |
<jagsph__> |
Aelius: I can do a screen brightness changing script that also did the keyboard lights... it would have to be an on demand sort of deal... |
| [18:40:09] |
<jagsph__> |
That was a big complaint for me when I went to dennys and tried to use their wifi..... |
| [18:40:18] |
<jagsph__> |
I was like... crap i cant see anything heh |
| [18:40:41] |
<Aelius> |
i'll give you better suggestions later ;> |
| [18:41:23] |
<jagsph__> |
How about the window behavior.... |
| [18:41:46] |
<jagsph__> |
im pretty happy with it myself.. |
| [18:41:52] |
<Aelius> |
yeah |
| [18:42:30] |
<Aelius> |
in cmd 90 percent here, no complaints |
| [18:42:30] |
<Adnyxo> |
it would be nice if the keymap used the side buttons as page up and page down |
| [18:42:43] |
<Adnyxo> |
at least i keep trying to do that while surfing the web |
| [18:42:52] |
<Aelius> |
prev next does that |
| [18:43:07] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: Heh I wonder what they are being used for right now |
| [18:43:10] |
<Adnyxo> |
with mouse on or off |
| [18:43:15] |
<Adnyxo> |
plus and minux |
| [18:43:59] |
<jagsph__> |
ah. yeh i havent even tried them |
| [18:44:55] |
<jagsph__> |
Seriously though if you kill rox-filer its a lot faster. |
| [18:45:03] |
<Adnyxo> |
what does rox filler do |
| [18:45:13] |
<jagsph__> |
The desktop icons, and its also the file manager |
| [18:45:21] |
<jagsph__> |
When its the desktop icons it kills the system |
| [18:45:29] |
<Adnyxo> |
but i like those |
| [18:45:41] |
<Aelius> |
lol i dont need em |
| [18:45:42] |
<Adnyxo> |
iwlist eth1 scanning |
| [18:45:49] |
<Adnyxo> |
oops wrong window |
| [18:46:02] |
<jagsph__> |
Well you can keep them. Il removing them from the next release but allow them to be enabled. |
| [18:46:43] |
<Adnyxo> |
okay |
| [18:47:04] |
<Adnyxo> |
damn fedora is taking all day to dl |
| [18:47:11] |
<jagsph__> |
Theres a bug in the current release for the quick scan in the script. I forgot to put a read nothing in it so it just clears the scren |
| [18:47:31] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: what do you like about redhat? |
| [18:48:52] |
<jagsph__> |
I cant stand the rpm packaging. |
| [18:49:07] |
<Adnyxo> |
ive never tried it |
| [18:49:14] |
<Adnyxo> |
but im distro hopping right now |
| [18:49:24] |
<Adnyxo> |
thanks to rkdavis bashing me about using kubuntu |
| [18:49:26] |
<jagsph__> |
fedora =redhat heh sorry |
| [18:49:40] |
<Adnyxo> |
tried xubuntu, linux mint, now fedora |
| [18:49:51] |
<jagsph__> |
anything with KDE is pretty horrible...... |
| [18:49:53] |
<Adnyxo> |
yea ive never tried fedora |
| [18:50:01] |
<Adnyxo> |
do you have a fav distro? |
| [18:50:15] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: debian based currently. |
| [18:50:18] |
<Adnyxo> |
ill probably end up trying all of them if i dont fall in love with one |
| [18:50:30] |
<Adnyxo> |
.deb is wonderful |
| [18:50:35] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: i would actually recommend installing ubuntu-server and apt-get installing lxde |
| [18:50:49] |
<jagsph__> |
lxde is a very good desktop environment imo |
| [18:51:00] |
<Adnyxo> |
perhaps ill try that next |
| [18:51:14] |
<Adnyxo> |
odds are ill leave fedora as soon as i get it configured right |
| [18:51:22] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: if you install the gnome network manager its just like using gnome without all the crap. |
| [18:51:35] |
<Adnyxo> |
i kinda want to try suse with gnome |
| [18:51:35] |
<jagsph__> |
the gnome network manager is all i need heh |
| [18:51:45] |
<Adnyxo> |
im tired of kde, you guys are right |
| [18:51:50] |
<Adnyxo> |
its not that great |
| [18:52:29] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: its about customizing it to your likes.... thats why ubuntu-server is so great, since everything usually works oob in ubuntu, you install the server and get the lxde environment, and add what you like in |
| [18:53:01] |
<jagsph__> |
Ive got VLC instead of totem for my player, and im using OSS4 instead of alsa... |
| [18:53:07] |
<jagsph__> |
and I dont have that stupid pulse-audio server |
| [18:56:57] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: there are some offensive things in here... but this is how i have it set up...... its really simple. i havent even customized it yet... http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/871/basicdesktop.jpg |
| [18:57:30] |
<Aelius> |
kde is terrible |
| [18:57:53] |
<Aelius> |
especially the windows port |
| [18:58:08] |
<jagsph__> |
Aelius: true, kde was good when it first came out. It was downhill after version 1.0 |
| [18:59:43] |
<jagsph__> |
I am just very impressed with the team at lxde.org... they know what people want. |
| [19:00:47] |
<jagsph__> |
http://kde.org/screenshots/images/medium/ganroth.jpg I used to have that theme heh |
| [19:02:29] |
<jagsph__> |
gnome and kde make it feel like im using windows... i dont want that experience. |

so, about adding a bigger display to the zipit |
| [19:20:53] |
<Adnyxo> |
i mean higher res |
| [19:21:11] |
<jagsph__> |
rkdavis says it can be done easilly |

i want a 480 by 2 whatever |
| [19:21:36] |
<Adnyxo> |
i can solder some |

he would a touch display work? that would help with the mouse thing |
| [19:22:08] |
<Adnyxo> |
wishfull thinking |

idk what im looking for |
| [20:15:03] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: imo you should stick with a distro which has a large community support base and a huge assortment of packaged software |
| [20:15:35] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: and try customizing it how you like. in the old days you would start out with a base install and you would add what you wanted. |
| [20:17:30] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: also the 2 oldest distributions that i am aware of today are slackware, and debian |
| [20:18:06] |
<jagsph__> |
Adnyxo: fedora/centos are also from the ancient redhat distribution |

that seemed to fix it |

<Aelius> |
not quite done yet... |
| [20:38:25] |
<Aelius> |
ok its good |
| [20:38:35] |
<jagsph> |
ill add that to the scripts |
| [20:39:07] |
<Aelius> |
k |
| [20:39:35] |
<Aelius> |
would it be possible to have alt toggle? |
| [20:39:42] |
<jagsph> |
? |
| [20:39:51] |
<Aelius> |
alt on, types numbers |
| [20:39:59] |
<Aelius> |
without holding it down |
| [20:40:09] |
<jagsph> |
thats something for rkdavis... i really dont know |
| [20:40:28] |
<Aelius> |
k |
| [20:40:40] |
<jagsph> |
it has to do with the keymap ill do some reading and see what i can come up with. i dont think its possible |
| [20:40:52] |
<Aelius> |
I was surprised the original kernel didnt have it set up as |
| [20:41:10] |
<Aelius> |
press alt, then the next press is under alt |
| [20:41:50] |
<Aelius> |
like on the HP laptops; you press fn, then you press the next key |
| [20:41:53] |
<Aelius> |
you don't hold it down |
| [20:42:20] |
<Aelius> |
how do you press alt 1 gracefully? |
| [20:42:20] |
<Aelius> |
lol |
| [20:42:32] |
<jagsph> |
Maybe .... im sure theres a way to do it |
| [20:42:41] |
<jagsph> |
I just dont know how HEH |
| [20:43:09] |
<jagsph> |
It would probably make it alt for every key not just the numerics |
| [20:43:28] |
<Aelius> |
well, yes I expect it would |
| [20:43:37] |
<Aelius> |
just an example |
| [20:44:03] |
<Aelius> |
my root password is long, and it's a pain to hold down alt |
| [20:44:15] |
<jagsph> |
Aelius: just type op shell |
| [20:44:30] |
<jagsph> |
:) |
| [20:44:40] |
<Aelius> |
wow you are smart |

I was sick of typing debian |
| [20:45:00] |
<Aelius> |
I always take the long way around... if you havent noticed yet |
| [20:45:12] |
<jagsph> |
Well, you didnt know that was set up. |
| [20:45:42] |
<jagsph> |
look @ /etc/op/op.conf |
| [20:46:07] |
<Aelius> |
another suggestion; the script gave me 180 seconds to save my work. then it ignored the fact that I plugged in the power |
| [20:47:18] |
<jagsph> |
Im not sure how exactly how to cancel a shutdown at this point. I can put a low power warning back in before the shutdown |
| [20:47:46] |
<jagsph> |
nevermind i know how to |
| [20:48:13] |
<jagsph> |
I can use shutdown to start a shutdown on its own timer, and it has a cancel option |
| [20:48:24] |
<Aelius> |
yeah, isnt it as simple as like, shutdown -a |
| [20:48:35] |
<jagsph> |
I completely forgot about that. |

oh i told you i install ntp? |
| [21:14:37] |
<jagsph> |
i think so |
| [21:18:10] |
<Mcavity> |
it runs and the system updates.. but the onscreen clock on the desktop.. not so good at the updateing. |
| [21:18:47] |
<Mcavity> |
example desktop clok says its 8:02 |
| [21:19:12] |
<Mcavity> |
date command says Sun Feb 7 20:18:52 CST 2010 |
| [21:19:41] |
<Mcavity> |
miner thing i though i should thow into the buglist lol |
| [21:20:25] |
<jagsph> |
im a little bit tired right now, but isnt that a proper conversion from military to standard time? |
| [21:22:56] |
<Mcavity> |
well yes.. except |
| [21:23:03] |
<Mcavity> |
it should read 8:20 |
| [21:23:27] |
<Mcavity> |
the desktop clock is still at 8:02.. |
| [21:24:15] |
<Mcavity> |
[im not 100% that the hour will update eaither] |
| [21:24:37] |
<jagsph> |
if that clock is not updating theres a problem with lxde |
| [21:24:59] |

<Foxx> |
jagsph, PM |
| [21:25:22] |
<jagsph> |
Aelius: i posted it on this pastebin |
| [21:25:46] |
<Mcavity> |
its not a major thing.just something i noticed. |
| [21:26:27] |
<jagsph> |
my clock format on my desktop is %r |
| [21:26:32] |
<Mcavity> |
[i figured having ntp running would get rid of a few headached when it came to seting time everytime the battery died |
| [21:26:35] |
<jagsph> |
I dont know if that makes a difference |
| [21:28:20] |
<Aelius> |
would anyone know why screen wont reattach? |
| [21:28:55] |
<jagsph> |
maybe its already attached and you need to detach it from the other location first |
| [21:29:23] |
<Aelius> |
nope, its detached, and my usual routine calls the -d switch |
| [21:30:25] |

<Aelius> |
yeah it wont reattach at all |
| [21:31:42] |
<Aelius> |
I called up another terminal and did screen -raAd |
| [21:31:59] |
<Aelius> |
disconnects the first one as expected, but doesnt attach |
| [21:32:30] |
<jagsph> |
maybe you dont have a proper login terminal |
| [21:32:31] |
<Aelius> |
it starts another screen, so that screen -list shows a detached and dead |
| [21:33:25] |
<jagsph> |
Aelius: is screen setuid ? |
| [21:33:38] |
<Aelius> |
no idea |
| [21:33:45] |
<jagsph> |
$ ls -l `which screen` |
| [21:33:45] |
<jagsph> |
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 328388 May 3 2009 /usr/bin/screen |
| [21:33:54] |
<jagsph> |
does it have an "S" flag like that |
| [21:33:55] |
<Aelius> |
Idid it from the standard terminal, no luck |
| [21:34:02] |
<Aelius> |
oh yes, it has the S flag |
| [21:34:37] |
<jagsph> |
im at a loss as to why it wont work |
| [21:35:33] |
<Aelius> |
under cygwin... but it used to work |
