[09:07:39] <rkdavis> yes i reboot mine all the time :)
[09:08:18] *** GPSFan has joined #zipit
[09:08:24] <rkdavis> the only thing to avoid out of shutdown, halt and reboot is the halt command. it does nasty things that require a hard reset
[09:08:32] <rkdavis> GPSFan: ah just the person
[09:08:57] <rkdavis> GPSFan: you here for a few minutes or you just here to lurk while the sheep are frollocking
[09:09:41] <jagsph> rkdavis: i cannot issue a reboot it freezes
[09:10:45] <rkdavis> jagsph: a debian app or busybox's?
[09:11:15] <GPSFan> rkdavis, I'm here for a bit while I wake up...
[09:11:23] <rkdavis> i use busybox's and it works well
[09:11:36] <rkdavis> GPSFan: i pm'ed you
[09:11:55] <jagsph> rkdavis: debian. basic utilities for linux
[09:12:18] <jagsph> i can try calling busybox to reboot

[09:45:05] <dTal> okay, Zipit got back
[09:45:14] <dTal> I think they misunderstood my question
[09:46:03] <dTal> They said I was free to use any information I found on the Linux site, without answering my question about the pads
[09:46:38] <dTal> although looking at it, the way I phrased it, they could have interpreted it as a request to use the information that was already there
[09:47:01] <dTal> still, I've sent another email, clarifying the information I want
[10:03:43] <rkdavis> dTal: :)
[10:12:58] <Mcavity> is just so confused on windows home server
[10:14:49] <Mcavity> ah well i think i have the important stuff worked out.

[12:35:21] <p0S|-|> hello
[12:35:43] <Mcavity-lappy> hi hi
[12:37:00] <p0S|-|> so has anyone got a decent framebuffer console working on this thing yet?
[12:37:08] <p0S|-|> something with 80 columns?
[12:37:19] <p0S|-|> im trying to decide if i should buy one or not
[12:37:30] <p0S|-|> i just want wlan+ssh+console
[12:37:36] <p0S|-|> but it's got to look nice enough
[12:38:01] <Mcavity-lappy> only if you use tiny font
[12:38:13] <Mcavity-lappy> lol but its looking better every day
[12:40:10] <Mcavity-lappy> 80 colums is kind of tough on a 320x240 display
[12:41:42] <Mcavity-lappy> it realy depends what you want to do with it
[12:45:37] <p0S|-|> yeah
[12:45:39] <p0S|-|> ok
[12:45:43] <p0S|-|> not gonna get one
[12:45:50] <p0S|-|> not with a macbook pro refresh forthcoming
[12:45:51] <p0S|-|> heheheh
[12:46:31] <dTal> I'd like an 80 column console
[12:46:46] <Mcavity-lappy> maybe a wyse terminal?
[12:46:50] <Mcavity-lappy> hehe
[13:00:37] *** mozzwald has joined #zipit
[13:37:27] *** Mcavity-lappy has quit IRC
[13:52:23] <muriani> I'd be cool with tiny font
[13:53:28] <rkdavis> muriani: what rootfs are you running?
[13:53:49] <rkdavis> i have a 4x6 font that gives 80cols but some versions of setfont don't like it
[13:53:57] <rkdavis> jpimble did it iirc
[13:55:08] <dTal> I couldn't make that work
[13:55:54] <rkdavis> dTal: yes i had to fiddle around with setfont versions one worked most didn't
[13:56:02] <rkdavis> i forget which version did and didn't too
[13:56:23] <rkdavis> i think it was one from busybox ratehr than the one from console tools iirc
[13:56:37] <dTal> I downloaded your version but it segfaulted
[13:56:48] <muriani> I'm running jagsph
[13:56:59] <muriani> RC1-pre or some such
[13:57:06] <muriani> the one before he pulled the roms out

[14:30:30] <rkdavis> muriani: if it's not already there try apt-getting consoletools or kbd and see if the setfont there will load there fonts http://japi.dddgames.com/~jpimble/zipit/ the 4x6 gives 80 chars width although you better have good eyes as it's tiny
[14:31:00] <rkdavis> and youmight need to fiddle with TERM etc as soem stuff still thinks the screen is smaller
[14:35:16] <muriani> I can deal with a 4x6 font
[14:35:33] <muriani> I'll check it out, thanks

[15:08:23] <gbpic_> Speaking of console-tools, I installed them on my Zipit to change the keymap, and it boots MUCH slower. (At least on my old Debian userland)

[15:45:50] <dTal> It works!
[15:45:57] <dTal> Boy that is *tiny*
[15:46:11] <dTal> But I still like it.
[15:46:44] <dTal> That's very like the small font on my TI-89. I guess there's only so many ways to make a font at that size.
[15:47:40] *** FiftyOneFiftyOnZ has quit IRC
[15:48:19] <dTal> Wow, alsamixer actually has a sane number of volume sliders per screen now.
[15:48:31] <dTal> So how do I set this at boot?

[16:16:09] <dTal> Trying to make it set at boot with /etc/kbd/config didn't work, however
[16:20:45] <rkdavis> dTal: maybe just put it in your .bashrc or something?
[16:21:16] <dTal> I was trying to do it "the debian way". Foolish of me, I know.
[16:21:28] <dTal> Besides, I want it to work for all users.
[16:23:18] <rkdavis> :)
[16:23:55] <dTal> dmesg shows "console: switching to colour frame buffer device 40x30"

[17:01:57] <balloooza> hi
[17:03:19] <balloooza> on the latest average user userland (pre2) how do I access F1 - 12 and the alt key (not the one that changes the keys
[17:03:21] <balloooza> )
[17:05:38] <balloooza> also is it neccecary to use wpa_passphrase netname password >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to add a password?
[17:06:35] <dTal> not neccesary
[17:07:18] <dTal> basically you can use the passphrase itself, or you can use the big long hashed version wpa_passphrase outputs
[17:07:26] <dTal> the first in quotes, the second not
[17:07:28] *** FiftyOne50ZipIt has joined #zipit
[17:08:07] <dTal> the advantage of using the hashed one is it doesn't have to hash it every time it connects, so it theoretically performs a little better
[17:08:41] <balloooza> dose it work with WPA2 and WPA1
[17:08:44] *** FiftyOne50ZipIt has left #zipit
[17:08:47] <dTal> should do
[17:09:23] <balloooza> is it known that the backlight dose not turn back on when the lid is opened?
[17:10:54] <dTal> the keyboard? yeah
[17:11:14] <balloooza> yes the keyboard backlight
[17:11:30] <balloooza> I see in this file
[17:11:31] <dTal> actually, the way it really is is that the keyboard backlight is off by default, but it turns on automatically when the zipit boots
[17:11:32] <balloooza> http://zipit.rootnexus.org/files/Z2-USERLAND/DOCS/keymap-map
[17:11:50] <balloooza> that there is F11-F20 mapped
[17:11:54] <dTal> so the power management script doesn't set it correctly until you've cycled the lid
[17:12:35] <balloooza> F1 I ment
[17:20:59] <balloooza> I am making some progress with the keymap.map file in the /etc directory, there is no F11 or F12 maped, but theoreticly it can be done, just need to find where to put it

[17:31:01] *** balloooza has quit IRC
[17:34:27] <gbpic_> @balloooza Do you use loadmap on bootup to load the new keymap, or is there a way tobdo it automatically?
[17:34:27] <SB-Zipit> gbpic_: Error: "balloooza" is not a valid command.

[18:18:33] <FiftyOneFifty> rkdavis: What do I do with the busybox file you posted the other day; just chmod it executable and run it?
[18:20:17] <rkdavis> FiftyOneFifty: yes if it'll run on your rootfs, there is a good chance it won;t
[18:20:23] *** dTal has joined #zipit
[18:20:49] <rkdavis> as i am using scratchbox and it seems that it doesn;t work in debian
[18:21:29] <dTal> debian sid has been the best experience so far for me
[18:22:42] <dTal> I've taken jagsghghghs userland and made it not start x automatically, and give me a proper 80 column terminal
[18:22:57] <dTal> I haven't run into any problems or bugs at all yet.
[18:23:39] <dTal> it's even got an mp3 program that only uses 10 percent cpu

[20:40:13] <kevman`> Anyone have tips on setting up a browser for Zipit2 use? I tried conkorer which rendered really nice but slammed the swap
[20:40:28] <kevman`> And dillo takes up so much screen real estate
[20:44:03] <dTal> Most folks use links2. I use elinks.
[20:44:24] <dTal> Pictures are for illiterates.
[20:47:33] <Mcavity> microB might be nice if someone bitbacked it
[20:47:48] <Mcavity> or midori
[20:53:16] <kevman`> Isn't midori from like linux 2.2 days?
[20:54:28] <Mcavity> http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html
[20:54:46] <kevman`> Or are you not talking about the distro? I just remembered Midori is x86
[20:56:00] <Mcavity> humm im about to try it
[20:57:24] <Mcavity> this will take a few min
[21:06:31] <Mcavity> ok thats fun.
[21:06:51] <Mcavity> i install midori..but wehn i try and run it from command prompt i get "cannot open display"
[21:09:12] <kevman`> ON the zipit?
[21:09:16] <kevman`> Or via ssh?
[21:09:52] <Mcavity> on the zipit.. but then i got out of op shel and it seems to be loading
[21:10:18] *** marex has quit IRC
[21:13:18] <Mcavity> ok that looks good.. but its peging the cpu.
[21:14:24] <kevman`> Anythin pegs it
[21:14:32] *** dennis has joined #zipit
[21:14:42] <Mcavity> think its also hamering swap.
[21:14:43] <muriani> This is true.
[21:14:58] <Mcavity> but it looks good lol.
[21:19:42] <kevman`> I'm kinda disappointed by zipit performance tbh... My chumby smokes this thing
[21:20:19] <Mcavity> the zipits bigest handycap is the lack of memory
[21:20:59] <Mcavity> hard to work around that. but for soemthing you can cary in your pocket it does pretty good.
[21:21:31] <Mcavity> also its not running its max speed.. [who wants to burn thier hands? lol]
[21:26:45] <Mcavity> humms.. pokeing at a few things.
[21:29:51] *** wickz2_ has joined #zipit
[21:31:11] <Mcavity> current mem usage is 16/of 28 and 12 of swap.
[21:31:40] <Mcavity> rendering pages is a bit slow.. but it does look good. not to shabby for an apt-get
[21:31:51] <Mcavity> bitbaked might be better.
[21:33:12] *** wickz2 has quit IRC
[21:40:48] <kevman`> I'll try it when I'm not playing l4d2...
[21:40:49] <kevman`> Heh
[21:41:57] <Mcavity> it renders properly just slooow
[21:48:19] <kevman`> I've kicked around Gentoo Arm... I'm not sure if the zipit requires kernel patches?
[21:48:58] <Mcavity> ask rkdavis on thatone
[21:55:39] <Mcavity> this looks so nice..
[22:01:09] <Mcavity> oh this should be fun.. verison blocks 4chan. lol
[22:15:48] *** Gnuet has joined #zipit

[22:28:00] <Mcavity> apt-get install midori
[22:28:08] <Mcavity> =)
[22:28:16] <kevman`> Huh, it can't find it.
[22:28:23] <Mcavity> i had to do an apt-get update first.. that takes a while.
[22:28:44] <kevman`> I did earlier today.
[22:29:00] <kevman`> W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
[22:29:00] <kevman`> 9AA38DCD55BE302B

[22:29:02] <kevman`> Huh
[22:29:03] <Mcavity> interesting
[22:29:13] <kevman`> I hate apt
[22:29:23] <Mcavity> i dont know.. i did apt-get update from op shell
[22:29:33] <Mcavity> then apt-get install midori
[22:30:10] <kevman`> Apt-get update is what's throwing that error
[22:31:02] <Mcavity> verify your zipit is online?
[22:31:06] <Mcavity> i did that once
