[09:14:01] <rkdavis> morning all
[09:14:13] <Mcavity> hi hi
[09:14:59] <dTal> hi rkdavis
[09:15:17] <dTal> I found a post from you discussing framebuffer rotation
[09:15:29] <dTal> you had to edit source to make links work?
[09:18:54] <dTal> oh no, that was Ray Haque
[09:19:17] <dTal> yours was a different one
[09:19:35] <dTal> lot of zipit activity in the directfb mailing lists
[09:21:22] <N|ght^> does anyone know if you can run openvpn on the zipit?
[09:27:31] <N|ght^> or any vpn client for that manner?
[09:31:01] <p0S|-|> i'd be suprised
[09:31:13] <p0S|-|> given that the chip is 315mhz
[09:31:20] <Mcavity> actualy you should be able to.
[09:31:36] <Mcavity> i ran rdp.. but i didnt get a virtual screne right lol
[09:32:04] <Mcavity> [all my windows on my desktop resized to 320x240 hehe
[09:32:38] <N|ght^> I was looking for it to do command line stuff
[09:32:46] <Mcavity> just ssh
[09:32:49] <N|ght^> So VPN into a network, and then SSH into servers
[09:32:50] <N|ght^> right
[09:32:50] <Mcavity> or telnet =)
[09:33:10] <Mcavity> that should work fine
[09:33:14] <p0S|-|> has anyone bought their zipit from target?
[09:33:19] <Mcavity> i did
[09:33:20] <p0S|-|> do they do ship to store?
[09:33:37] <Mcavity> but it was when they had them on sale.. dont think they carry them in store any more
[09:33:39] <p0S|-|> is there another hardware revision on the horizon you think?
[09:33:48] <p0S|-|> yeah they dont have in store
[09:33:51] <p0S|-|> online only
[09:33:56] <p0S|-|> idk if they do ship to store or not
[09:34:03] <dTal> is the zipit still even in production?
[09:36:12] <Mcavity> talk to rkdavis hes a dealer now =)
[09:39:26] <N|ght^> alright, so when I tried to get openvpn working, I get this error: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev dynamically
[09:39:51] <N|ght^> after some searching, it sounds like that particular module might not be compiled into the kernel release
[09:40:06] <N|ght^> so can I recompile the kernel right on the zipit, or is there more to it then that?
[09:41:41] <dTal> N|ght^: no, you'd have to reflash it
[09:45:16] <p0S|-|> heh
[09:45:24] <p0S|-|> idk if i should get one or not
[09:45:36] <p0S|-|> it's interesting to me but
[09:45:42] <p0S|-|> would be nice if it had more ram/cpu
[09:47:31] <Mcavity> its a hacked toy.. its impressive what it gets done but no its not a full pc =)
[09:47:33] <dTal> you can say that about any machine :)
[09:48:04] <Mcavity> unless your thinking about year 2000
[09:48:13] <dTal> not a full pc? I beg to differ - the only difference is quantitative
[09:50:06] <N|ght^> thus far, there's only a few programs that I haven't been able to get running... other than that, I would say it's a VERY trimmed-down PC
[09:51:30] <Mcavity> well yea =) you can do quite a bit in 32 megs of memory =)
[09:52:03] <dTal> 640k is all anyone should ever need
[09:52:04] <N|ght^> but for only $40-50, it's probably the least amount I've spent on something that can do as much as the zipit can do
[09:52:19] <N|ght^> it's worth it
[09:53:19] <Mcavity> its a fun thing to play with.. and hey it plays quake =)
[09:53:24] <Mcavity> and doom
[09:54:04] <N|ght^> and roms, and it does irc, and you can browse the web
[09:54:24] <N|ght^> and more...
[09:54:28] <N|ght^> I got apache running on it
[09:54:32] <dTal> It's way better with debian sid and an 80 column terminal
[09:54:50] <dTal> nothing's not worked yet
[09:55:20] <N|ght^> the only 2 things are openvpn and iptables
[09:55:25] <N|ght^> I can't get those 2 to work
[09:55:43] <N|ght^> and to the best I've my knowledge, it's missing modules that need to be compiled into the kernel to get them to work
[09:56:17] <dTal> modules don't need to be compiled in
[09:56:33] <N|ght^> and when I say it's missing, I'm referring to the rootnexus and aliosa27 images
[09:56:35] <dTal> that's why they're modules
[09:57:15] <N|ght^> maybe modules was not the right term to use
[09:57:18] <N|ght^> packages?
[09:57:39] <dTal> I don't follow
[09:58:03] <dTal> modules can be added to a running kernel with modprobe
[09:58:49] <dTal> so there shouldn't be anything you need to recompile for
[10:00:49] <N|ght^> so I get this error for iptables: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
[10:00:49] <N|ght^> iptables: can't initialize iptables table `nat': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
[10:03:17] <N|ght^> and it's been a few days since I searched, but what I found is that the image is missing the netfilter package, which needs to be compiled into the kernel
[10:03:20] <N|ght^> maybe I'm wrong?
[10:05:51] *** Malwyn has quit IRC
[10:06:36] <dTal> modprobe iptables ?
[10:07:27] <dTal> I imagine it depends heavily on your distribution
[10:07:35] <p0S|-|> yeah unless it's all modular you'll need to compile it in
[10:08:01] <p0S|-|> modprobe -l | grep ip_tables
[10:08:27] <dTal> p0S|-|: I'm sure there will be a kernel module for it
[10:08:30] <p0S|-|> the nat module it
[10:08:33] <p0S|-|> iptable_nat
[10:08:37] <p0S|-|> kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_nat.ko
[10:09:01] <p0S|-|> kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat.ko
[10:09:04] <p0S|-|> (netfilter)
[10:10:02] <N|ght^> oh so you actually do see it in there?
[10:10:24] <p0S|-|> uh
[10:10:28] <p0S|-|> that's on another linux box
[10:10:31] <N|ght^> ah
[10:10:33] <N|ght^> I gotcha
[10:10:38] <p0S|-|> but the modules would be the same
[10:10:46] <p0S|-|> i'm just saying do a modprobe -l on the zipit
[10:10:52] <p0S|-|> and see what's already compiled as modules
[10:10:57] <p0S|-|> probably barely anything
[10:11:01] <p0S|-|> to keep the rom small
[10:12:31] <rkdavis> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[10:12:47] <rkdavis> 24 hours i have been working trying to solve a bash script error
[10:13:16] <rkdavis> 24 bloody hours and the fricking error waqs not in my if/then part but a bloody bracket round sleep
[10:13:56] <LT[LC]> lol
[10:14:01] <LT[LC]> it happens
[10:14:19] <rkdavis> drove me and about 3 people nuts because i thought the error was in the if statement and the test for equality but noooooooo it was in the case statement 3 lines down
[10:14:35] <rkdavis> and not even that -- i wrote sleep(5) rather than sleep 5
[10:15:10] <rkdavis> i need putting out to pasture i've just lost it
[10:17:51] * muriani kicks rkdavis out to pasture
[10:17:58] <muriani> go graze a bit.
[10:19:37] <rkdavis> i was ready to punch someone over it -- the next person through the door was getting a punch in the face just on G.P. over it

[11:58:38] *** Stiq has joined #zipit

[15:04:33] *** jagsph has joined #zipit
[15:08:42] <dTal> jagsph: I've been playing with your userland
[15:09:03] <dTal> apt is not happy about having both debian and emdebian sources
[15:09:58] <dTal> (since it considers emdebian higher priority, installing things not in emdebian with lots of dependencies fails
[15:10:45] <dTal> I've used apt-pin to switch the priorities, and now stuff installs
[15:11:19] *** dolphin has quit IRC
[15:11:37] <dTal> but it's pulling in a lot of regular debian stuff, and all of it is from sid of course, so I'm not sure if it's all going to be borked after it finishe
[15:12:04] *** lessismore has joined #zipit
[15:18:51] <muriani> heh
[15:24:30] <dTal> nearly there
[15:24:40] <dTal> if this works it'll be very cool
[15:25:14] <dTal> I think a large number of existing apps can be made to work on the framebuffer
[15:25:36] <dTal> there are very few pure X apps around, because X is a bitch
[15:26:01] *** des has quit IRC
[15:26:23] *** des has joined #zipit
[15:26:51] *** zmj|zipit has quit IRC
[15:28:18] <dTal> whaaaat
[15:28:21] <dTal> (!) DirectFB/Config 'layer-rotate': Only 0 and 180 supported yet!
[15:28:31] *** zmj|zipit has joined #zipit
[15:34:10] *** zmj|zipit has quit IRC
[15:35:06] *** zmj|zipit has joined #zipit
[15:39:45] *** zmj|zipit has quit IRC
[15:47:23] *** zmj|zipit has joined #zipit
[15:49:18] <dTal> ah, directfb version not quite good enough even in sid
[15:49:26] <dTal> time to add...
[15:49:36] <dTal> the experimental repositories!
[15:53:25] * dTal carefully pins experimental at 50 to prevent accidents
[15:54:59] <dTal> The question is... does the newer libdirectfb also depend on stuff in experimental?
[16:02:44] <rkdavis> what version of directfb is it btw?
[16:03:19] <rkdavis> the layer rotate stuff is only in.30 ad newer so if it's older than that you might have probs
[16:03:30] *** zmj|zipit has quit IRC
[16:06:54] <dTal> 1.28 in sid, 1.40 in experimental
[16:07:44] <dTal> it isn't happy about overwriting the existing one without removing it - someone should put "conflicts" on that experimental package
[16:07:53] <dTal> for now I'm doing it manually with dpkg
[16:08:38] <dTal> oh no it didn't like that
[16:09:14] <dTal> seems some apps specifically want THAT version and no other
[16:10:14] <dTal> not sure what to do know
[16:10:19] <dTal> *now
[16:10:26] *** zmj|zipit has joined #zipit
[16:11:24] <dTal> ah, I know
[16:11:51] <dTal> I'll recompile the various programs against the new directfb
[16:12:03] <dTal> with deb-source
[16:12:09] <dTal> this is getting heavy
[16:13:16] <rkdavis> :)
[16:13:39] <dTal> still, no endian problems or anything still
[16:13:45] <dTal> just regular debian crap
[16:14:09] <rkdavis> well you don't install the right things :)
[16:14:49] <rkdavis> and they might have fixed at least some of them. people will be pissed if they can't run their trsdos apps on their embedded devices
[16:15:31] <dTal> well this *is* sid
[16:17:36] <dTal> libcairo2
[16:17:36] <dTal> libdirectfb-dev
[16:17:36] <dTal> libdirectfb-extra
[16:17:36] <dTal> libgtk-directfb-2.0-0
[16:17:36] <dTal> links2
[16:17:41] <dTal> mplayer
[16:17:57] <dTal> these are all the directfb deps
[16:24:39] <dTal> now, I dont need any particularly advanced versions of these programs and libraries, do I?
[16:25:20] <dTal> Just grab the source and the build-deps and build with the new directfb (and its developer library) installed
[16:41:18] <dTal> it's a bit of a pity that only aptitude can resolve the dependency issues created by pinning something higher than something with a higher version number, that's already installed.
[16:41:29] <dTal> apt-get seems to be lighter.
[16:48:49] <rkdavis> anyone has a desktop linux that has wifi and wireless-tools installed? i want to check if a newer version outputs soething i am expecting it to that the zipits version does't
[16:49:46] <rkdavis> trying to write a script to ask for passphrase/key automatically depending on output from iwlist but it looks like the version we ave don't work right
[16:50:38] *** Malwyn has joined #zipit
[17:12:54] <dTal> what's missing, rkdavis?
[17:13:27] <rkdavis> apparently if the ap is wpa there is another line
[17:13:49] <rkdavis> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1402284
[17:14:10] <rkdavis> apparently there is a line that lets you tell it is wpa rather than ope or wep
[17:14:59] <rkdavis> we have some ie lines but the don't look like that and are pretty similar for regex'ab;le stuff to be useless
[17:15:39] <dTal> mine tells me, and I'm on a zipit
[17:16:56] <dTal> I mean, there's "encryption key" on or off which tells if it's open or not
[17:17:37] <dTal> and then lower down there's "IE: WPA Version 1"
[17:17:58] <dTal> among other things about tkip and such
[17:18:08] <rkdavis> hmmm mine doesn't
[17:18:27] <rkdavis> no ie line
[17:18:38] <dTal> huh
[17:18:46] <dTal> score 1 for debian :p
[17:18:49] <rkdavis> no line that says ie on it
[17:19:02] <rkdavis> nope i'll just recompile
[17:19:06] <rkdavis> what version do you have
[17:19:22] <dTal> version of what?
[17:19:29] <rkdavis> iwlist?
[17:19:35] <rkdavis> iwlist --version
[17:21:49] <dTal> OpenZipIt:/home/user# iwlist --version
[17:21:49] <dTal> iwlist Wireless-Tools version 30 Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v22.
[17:21:49] <dTal> Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.
[17:21:49] <dTal> eth1 Recommend Wireless Extension v15 or later, Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.
[17:22:11] <rkdavis> hmmm weird, same ver here too
[17:22:19] <rkdavis> wonder why i don't get that line then

[20:04:01] <marex> Webhostbudd, no idea...I use sysfs directly
[20:04:20] <Webhostbudd> alright then
[20:04:45] <Webhostbudd> just one other question, how would i go about getting the wifi drivers working
[20:05:06] <Webhostbudd> ive got gspi8686.bin and gspi8686_hlp.bin in the /lib/firmware/libertas forlder
[20:05:09] <Webhostbudd> folder
[20:05:23] <Webhostbudd> ifconfig and iwconfig show nothing though
[20:05:42] <marex> ifconfig -a
[20:06:15] <marex> dmesg | grep 8686 ... or ... dmesg | grep -i libertas
[20:06:18] <marex> does it show anything ?
[20:06:26] <Webhostbudd> one moment
[20:06:32] <marex> use pastebin
[20:07:51] <Webhostbudd> o yea, how do i do the | special char
[20:08:18] <marex> no idea, I have serial console soldered ...
[20:08:21] <Webhostbudd> o
[20:08:22] <Webhostbudd> haha
[20:08:41] <Webhostbudd> that would make life easier
[20:09:01] <marex> hm actually no ... Magon has the one with serial console, I have two other without one here ... hmm
[20:11:17] <Webhostbudd> well
[20:11:26] <Webhostbudd> ifconfig just shows the loopback interface
[20:11:28] <marex> it was something like Meta-W or something
[20:11:34] <marex> hm ... ifconfig -a as well ?
[20:11:38] <Webhostbudd> yea
[20:11:44] <marex> anything in dmesg ?
[20:12:12] <Webhostbudd> thats the issue
[20:12:20] <Webhostbudd> i have no way to look through it without grep
[20:12:28] <marex> dmesg | less
[20:12:36] <Webhostbudd> again
[20:12:39] <Webhostbudd> |
[20:12:45] <marex> try meta-W or something ...
[20:13:07] <marex> I have no idea what keymap you use ... I have totally different setup on my Z2 ...
[20:14:02] <Webhostbudd> alright
[20:14:14] <Webhostbudd> my keymap is just the default rc2 one
[20:14:28] <marex> what's rc2 ?
[20:14:36] <Webhostbudd> well
[20:14:41] <Webhostbudd> the rootnexus image
[20:14:44] <marex> I told you ... I have my own setup on Z2 ... I'm out of loop here
[20:14:49] <Webhostbudd> yea
[20:15:58] <marex> Webhostbudd, well ... try some of the key combinations ...
[20:16:24] <marex> or if you can do the '>' character ... try dmesg > tmp and ... less tmp
[20:16:35] <Webhostbudd> alright
[20:29:27] *** mozzwald has joined #zipit
[20:31:44] <Webhostbudd> interesting error
[20:32:29] <Webhostbudd> libertas_spi spi1.0: firmware: requesting libertas/gspi8686.bin
[20:33:01] <Webhostbudd> libertas: if_spi_prog_main_firmware: timed out waiting for inital scratch reg = 0
[20:33:08] <marex> you misnamed it or hotplug isnt running
[20:33:10] <marex> ah ...
[20:33:17] <Webhostbudd> yea?
[20:33:20] <marex> no ...
[20:33:45] <Webhostbudd> libertas: failed to load firmware (err=-110)
[20:33:53] <marex> SPR isn't zero, it's like the BBMAC wasn't properly restarted
[20:34:19] <marex> or something like that ... try shuting the Z2 down, removing battery, put it back and retry
[20:34:49] <Webhostbudd> ive tried cold reboots and nothing, but alright
[20:34:57] <marex> SPR isn't zero when the initial firmware is in the BBMAC
[20:35:01] <marex> hm ...
[20:35:14] <marex> you have to power down the chip ... that should help
[20:35:30] <Webhostbudd> alright, ill try it
[20:35:34] <marex> I can't really tell much more about the internal workage of the wifi chip
[20:36:29] <Webhostbudd> should it only take a couple of seconds to clear?
[20:38:05] <marex> I guess so ...
[20:38:33] <marex> there shouldn't be any vast capacitors in the Z2 anyway
[20:38:42] <marex> it's a cheap toy ...
[20:39:11] <Webhostbudd> yea
[20:40:39] <Webhostbudd> same error still
[20:41:57] <Webhostbudd> think the bin file is corrupted?
[20:42:09] <marex> dunno, you can sha1sum it
[20:42:20] <marex> but the SPR check is done before the firmware is even loaded
[20:42:31] <marex> I'd rather wonder what's in the SPR
[20:43:50] <Webhostbudd> hmmm, anything i should do?
[20:44:16] <jagsph_> Westhostbudd: i have the information on the screen brightness
[20:45:17] <jagsph_> Westhostbudd: its being controlled by a script in /etc/ called lid-daemon.sh on the Rc2 release as i recall... it also shows where to change the brightness manually.... im working on a next release which allows changing of the brightness on demand.
[20:45:27] <Webhostbudd> okay
[20:46:19] <jagsph_> I read a little bit about your wireless problem.
[20:46:31] <jagsph_> Did you get it to work since then?
[20:46:39] <Webhostbudd> nope
[20:46:56] <Webhostbudd> ive never worked on devices like this so the issue is foreign to me
[20:47:17] <jagsph_> I understand. This is my first time working on an ARM device also.
[20:47:55] <jagsph_> How did you install your copy to the SD card? A lot of people have been extracting the rootfs bz2 and not doing it as root which causes some issues.
[20:48:44] <Webhostbudd> i did it as root
[20:48:56] <Webhostbudd> i mean, everything else works fine
[20:49:04] <Webhostbudd> its just these wifi binaries
[20:49:33] <jagsph_> Did you need another copy of the WIFI binaries?
[20:50:16] <jagsph_> The ones included should work, i have had a similar problem which was resolved by powering off and removing the battery for 30 seconds.
[20:50:31] <Webhostbudd> 30 seconds
[20:50:32] <Webhostbudd> hmmm
[20:50:37] <Webhostbudd> i let it go for a while
[20:50:46] <Webhostbudd> are all of the binaries the same?
[20:51:37] <jagsph_> The binaries distributed with the Z2 are different than the publically available ones from my understanding.
[20:51:48] <jagsph_> The ones on that image are the ones that came with my Z2.
[20:51:59] <jagsph_> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/libertas the libertas public gspi firmware is here
[20:52:54] <Webhostbudd> are there any downsides to the public drivers
[20:52:56] <Webhostbudd> i mean
[20:53:00] <Webhostbudd> are they decent?
[20:53:22] <jagsph_> I am not aware of any downsides.
[20:54:10] <Webhostbudd> is anyone else using them?
[20:55:03] <jagsph_> I think hunter davis has used them.
[20:56:31] <Webhostbudd> alright
[20:56:39] <Webhostbudd> ill leave the battery out for a while
[20:56:47] <Webhostbudd> try my bins again, and see if it works
[20:56:53] <Webhostbudd> otherwise, i guess ill try though
[20:57:32] <jagsph_> Yeh, im sorry its not working for you.
[21:01:09] <Webhostbudd> do you think reimaging it could fix it?
[21:03:19] <Webhostbudd> interesting, i got another line this time
[21:04:01] <Webhostbudd> libertas: spu_wait_for_u16: timeout with val=00, target_mask=00, target=00
[21:04:08] <Webhostbudd> in addition to the others

[21:11:08] <Webhostbudd_> alright, im going to run through another image
[21:11:48] <Webhostbudd_> so i should just cd to the ext3 fs, then tar jvxf RC2.BZ2
[21:12:15] <Webhostbudd_> as root of course
[21:13:52] <jagsph_> yeh...
[21:18:33] <Webhostbudd_> you mind doing an md5 check with my bins?
[21:18:51] <Webhostbudd_> gspi8686 and gspi8686_hlp
[21:19:09] <jagsph_> i dont have the z2 hand right now
[21:19:15] <Webhostbudd_> alright
[21:19:21] <jagsph_> Actually
[21:19:28] <jagsph_> I think i have the bins on my desktop.
[21:19:33] <Webhostbudd_> ooo

[21:20:03] <Webhostbudd_> o go
[21:20:06] <Webhostbudd_> o god
[21:20:12] <Webhostbudd_> how big is your helper binary?
[21:20:21] <jagsph_> lookin for it now...
[21:20:25] <Webhostbudd_> i think i see the issue
[21:20:58] <Webhostbudd_> byte for byte, my bin and _hlp bin are the same size
[21:21:04] <Webhostbudd_> i probably messed up naming
[21:21:56] <jagsph_> ok i got a couple......
[21:22:30] <jagsph_> http://zipit.pastebin.com/d5d2dd337

[21:23:25] <Webhostbudd_> yea......
[21:23:32] <Webhostbudd_> i definitely screwed up
[21:24:05] <Webhostbudd_> the gspi8686.bin matches yours perfectly
[21:24:10] <Webhostbudd_> the issue is the helper one
[21:25:00] <Webhostbudd_> would you have any problem sending me the helper_gspi.bin?
[21:25:19] <jagsph_> nope
[21:25:25] <jagsph_> I can send it.
[21:25:29] <Webhostbudd_> alright

[21:28:30] <Webhostbudd_> alright

[21:31:51] <Webhostbudd_> thanks a million
[21:31:56] <Webhostbudd_> i hope it works now
[21:32:00] <marex> jagsph_, you know there are people here who are cooperating with Marvell semi, right ?
[21:32:19] <jagsph_> marex: they are not staying there.
[21:32:29] <jagsph_> marex: he owns the Z2 he has a right to them.
[21:32:34] <marex> jagsph_, please read the license to those files before distributing them
[21:32:53] <marex> jagsph_, many other people can download those files now ...
[21:34:03] <Webhostbudd_> they are in the userland images anyway
[21:34:06] <Webhostbudd_> i just realized
[21:34:29] <jagsph_> marex: they are in here also. http://aliosa27.net/projects/zipit2/zipit2-audio+x+mouse.gz
[21:34:34] <marex> they are being distributed ? well ... you should better pull them, otherwise Marvell law dept might not like it
[21:34:51] <jagsph_> marex: they are also in an image hunter davis released on his site.
[21:35:08] <jagsph_> marex: and they are on wireless.kernel.org
[21:35:11] <Webhostbudd_> i think he pulled it though
[21:36:04] <jagsph_> marex: you can also apt-get install them from a firmware package in a .deb
[21:36:51] <marex> jagsph_, so ... what's the license to those files ?
[21:37:23] <marex> jagsph_, I'm talking to collegues about this (not disclosing where I got the information about distribution) ... just to make sure
[21:37:35] <jagsph_> marex: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;h=bdd4d91e6feea9f48039171e35bf4ae665247a73

[21:38:41] <jagsph_> If there was an issue with it they wouldnt be available there.
[21:39:02] <Webhostbudd_> awesome, looks like it's working
[21:39:29] <marex> jagsph_, read the license ...
[21:39:47] <jagsph_> marex: email kernel.org. tell them they cannot host it.
[21:39:50] <marex> Webhostbudd_, good, it was checking SPR after loading the primary fw ...
[21:39:58] <marex> jagsph_, they can ... read the license
[21:40:42] <jagsph_> marex: email aliosa tell him to take it out of his image
[21:41:19] <marex> jagsph_, I dont care about him, really ... but once marvell figures this out, he might be screwed
[21:46:22] <jagsph_> marex: what about the license? http://cozybit.com/projects/gspi8686/
[21:46:35] <mozzwald> jagsph: speaking of wireless. :) I started working on a gui based connecting script loosely based on your netconfig
[21:47:06] <jagsph_> mozzwald: do you have screenshots? this sounds cool
[21:48:21] <mozzwald> jagsph: not yet. lemmie try to grab one right quick.
[21:48:23] *** Webhostbudd_ has quit IRC
[21:48:43] <jagsph_> marex: there is nothing that says the firmware cannot be redistributed
[21:48:56] <marex> Redistributions must reproduce the above copyright notice and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
[21:49:53] <jagsph_> marex: and wheres the problem?
[21:50:31] <jagsph_> I dont see one.
[21:51:01] <marex> where's the license ...
[21:51:10] <jagsph_> Webhostbudd_ owns the device, has a license for it, and also, if you want to state that, wheres the license on kernel.org
[21:51:43] <jagsph_> I saw no license information on kernel.org.
[21:51:46] <marex> see the commit message ?
[21:52:02] <marex> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;h=bdd4d91e6feea9f48039171e35bf4ae665247a73 second file ...
[21:52:39] <marex> jagsph_, cool, he has the license for it ... but other people who download it do NOT have the license dammit
[21:52:53] <marex> good, you pulled it ... be careful about this next time
[21:53:01] <jagsph_> marex: So are you saying that you think I should put license plainly visible anywhere it is?
[21:53:24] <marex> the LICENSE should acompany the firmware files when distributed, yes
[21:55:43] <jagsph_> http://zipit.rootnexus.org/files/Z2-USERLAND/RC1-PRE2/ satisfied ? <--scroll to bottom
[21:57:09] <marex> should be ok
[21:57:20] <wickz2_> i'd put the license in the /lib/firmware/libertas folder
[21:57:37] <marex> wickz2_, that's not necessary I think
[21:57:49] <wickz2_> maybe not, but safe
[21:57:55] <jagsph_> wickz2_: it is going to be on the next upload.
[21:58:07] <marex> wickz2_, I'd really have to ask law dept.
[21:58:08] <marex> gnight
[21:58:18] <wickz2_> nite
[21:58:32] <marex> and be careful, you don't want to get into problems, do you ...
[21:58:57] *** marex has quit IRC
[21:59:51] <jagsph_> mozzwald: i cant wait to see this gui.
[22:00:39] <wickz2_> xdialog based?
[22:01:13] <jagsph_> thats probably the best way to go for this device, he might be doing tcl/tk
[22:01:31] <jagsph_> i hope not though
[22:01:34] <wickz2_> xdialog works nice
[22:01:54] <wickz2_> i did a connect script using it for jlime awhile back
[22:02:04] <jagsph_> chat/pppd ?
[22:02:57] <wickz2_> it was just a UI for the basic ifup, dhclient, iwlist etc etc
[22:03:48] <wickz2_> basically the same as your z2 wifi script, just done with xdialog
[22:04:08] <jagsph_> oh. cool... yeh mine was just a very quick hack ...
[22:05:05] <wickz2_> might be a hack, but it works
[22:06:15] <mozzwald> jagsph: http://mozzwald.com/node/32
[22:06:28] <jagsph_> Yeh. It serves its purpose.... When I get motivation I want to attach some more advanced features to it...
[22:06:36] <mozzwald> I'm using zenity
[22:08:05] <jagsph_> mozzwald: thats going to be sweet.... i would love to put that in the final release... make sure you put an about button on ...
[22:08:31] <mozzwald> right now it just gives you a list of networks, you choose one, and if there's no save file it asks for a password, otherwise connects
[22:08:46] <jagsph_> mozzwald: i dont know anything about zenity but does it have a way to do a task bar icon?
[22:08:58] <jagsph_> i think it would be called system tray
[22:09:14] <jagsph_> It would be nice to replace the lxde applet
[22:09:34] <mozzwald> with zenity you can only create an information icon that disappears after clicking it, so no tray icon
[22:10:02] <mozzwald> http://library.gnome.org/users/zenity/stable/
[22:11:00] <wickz2_> jagsph_: any way to have lxpanel 'swallow' conkys battery status?
[22:11:18] <mozzwald> jagsph: I have yet to find a system tray applet that can be accessed like zenity or gtkdialog
[22:11:23] <wickz2_> so the status is in the taskbar
[22:11:28] <jagsph_> wickz2_: put conky ontop of lxpanel ?
[22:11:57] <wickz2_> well jwm i can do it, just wondering if lxpanel could do it
[22:12:34] <jagsph_> wickz2_: i dont know, im still looking for a way to even call the lxpanel menu by a shortcut key...all conky is doing is calling the battlevel binary.... if there is a dockapp that will run a program and display its output...
[22:12:44] <wickz2_> dont want it on top, thatd cover my shortcut icons
[22:13:27] <jagsph_> mozzwald: there might not be anything..
[22:13:45] <jagsph_> wickz2_: i dont know exactly what you mean by "swallow" then
[22:14:09] <wickz2_> battlevel would act as a panel plugin
[22:14:42] <wickz2_> just like a clock or volume control
[22:15:22] <jagsph_> wickz2_: i dont believe lxpanel has a plugin like that
[22:15:38] <wickz2_> bummer
[22:15:47] <nebukan> good evenling, im out travelling and ran into some problems using a tun interface for ip-over-dns.
[22:16:12] <nebukan> do i need to compile a new kernel to get tun/tap support?
[22:16:33] <wickz2_> probably
[22:16:48] <jagsph_> unless u have a lkm for it
[22:16:59] <mozzwald> jagsph: I set CTRL-Zipit to F20 and added this to kbdconfig: f20=!lxpanelctl menu
[22:17:01] <wickz2_> the z2 kernel really only has the basic modules built
[22:18:02] <nebukan> wickz2_: yeah, ofc, trying to keep it small and everything
[22:18:29] <jagsph_> you can download the kernel source and the build essentials for 2.2.29 and build the modules and insmod them
[22:18:44] <jagsph_> i dont see why that wouldnt work.
[22:19:46] <nebukan> that would kick ass. unfortuenly on very lagged ip-over-dns connection at gatwick atm, seconds of lagg makes everything hard
[22:19:47] <jagsph_> i keep saying 2.2.29
[22:19:49] <jagsph_> i mean 2.6.29
[22:20:35] <nebukan> iodine <3
[22:21:32] <jagsph_> nebukan: are you saying that i am partially mentally disabled because i dont get enough iodine supplement?
[22:22:39] <nebukan> jagsph_: haha only if it makes u feel better
[22:23:14] <jagsph_> haha
[22:23:35] <nebukan> http://code.kryo.se/iodine/
[22:24:21] <nebukan> good shit
[22:24:39] <jagsph_> nebukan: thats a serious statement though, countries with the lowest iodine supplement availability have the highest level of mental retardation
[22:25:20] <jagsph_> that looks pretty cool though its going in my bookmarks
[22:26:02] <nebukan> good to have while travelling, sucks paying at every airport/hotel
[22:26:40] <jagsph_> how can you tunnel ipv4 data through a dns server
[22:26:59] <jagsph_> im reading it now...
[22:27:17] <nebukan> mindfuck :)
[22:28:03] <jagsph_> looks like it.
[22:28:41] <nebukan> bot booted off one wifi , their noc probobly went mad with 500 dns queries a second
[22:28:54] <nebukan> or something like that
[22:29:03] <nebukan> bot/got
[22:29:10] <jagsph_> so if they dont filter the dns port you can connect to the outside world
[22:29:26] <nebukan> yeah
[22:29:26] <jagsph_> but if they filter everything...... and only let u connect to their dns u are still screwed
[22:29:46] <nebukan> yep
[22:30:52] <nebukan> but to my advantage they want to resolv google.com > "pay for wifi here"
[22:33:48] <jagsph_> all they have to do is redirect their dns
[22:34:47] <nebukan> like not returning TXT records
[22:35:14] <jagsph_> redirect all dns to their dns server
[22:36:58] <nebukan> im using their dns-server
[22:37:39] <jagsph_> maybe i read the readme wrong
[22:39:08] <nebukan> i query blahablalafhfhfhhdjhdkdk.mydomian.org thru their dns, my dnsserver at my domain decodes and sends back the data as TXT record.. sorry bad explaining
[22:39:44] *** netbook has joined #zipit
[22:39:46] <nebukan> i should read up more exactly, it workes almost everywhere
[22:39:53] <nebukan> though
[22:40:06] <jagsph_> i thought u changed your dns .....
[22:40:26] <jagsph_> thats way more advanced than i thought
[22:41:10] <nebukan> its awesome, iodine sees a payload in the blahablaha.mydomain.org
[22:41:14] <jagsph_> start downloading usenet and torrents
[22:41:50] <jagsph_> ifconfig eth1 hw ether 69:69:69:69:69
[22:42:06] <jagsph_> make sure they notice it...
[22:42:32] <nebukan> its slow, 4-5kbit tops
[22:43:16] <jagsph_> nebukan: i would figure on a lot of them they only redirect port 80
[22:43:55] <nebukan> yeah, i could prob run a vpn on port 53
[22:43:59] <jagsph_> nebukan: also have you tried taking another persons mac address who has paid?
[22:44:22] <jagsph_> pick it up with wireshark or tcpdump
[22:44:47] <nebukan> i might try that, still got 5 hours to kill
[22:45:45] <jagsph_> nebukan: haha def. would be amusing... maybe sniff some instant messaging traffic send a couple of icmp port unreachables make them disconnect and get an msn password?
[22:47:37] <nebukan> not that well equipped im afraid, my laptop broke yesterday and im running my linux of a 2gb usb-key
[22:48:00] <jagsph_> nebukan: use an eth1:1 and assign it to their dns server and run your own and redirect all queries to some african american pornographic site
[22:48:22] <nebukan> lol
[22:49:10] <nebukan> so much fun, so little hhd-space
[22:49:27] <jagsph_> nebukan: there is so much you can do to its entertaining.... download 1234.c from packetstormsecurity and remove the usleep and set src_addr = rand();
[22:49:47] <jagsph_> you dont need a lot :)
[22:49:53] <jagsph_> just netinet-dev
[22:50:48] <jagsph_> you could also make a fake wireless pay site and redirect people to that so they put in their cc#' and ssn#
[22:51:08] <jagsph_> i should probably not say anymore.
[22:51:24] <nebukan> jagsph_: donation site for rootnexus
[22:51:53] <jagsph_> create a donation called wireless access and redirect everyone to that.
[22:52:25] <nebukan> hehe would be awesome accually :)
[22:53:02] <nebukan> but no, i got my free internet
[22:53:10] <jagsph_> nebukan: you could get your free money
[22:53:16] <nebukan> i should just stop there
[22:53:23] <jagsph_> haha
[22:53:43] <jagsph_> nebukan: i got my free wireless off a neighbor at my house
[22:54:23] <nebukan> nice! sharing is caring
[22:54:25] <jagsph_> i set up dd-wrt as a wireless repeater
[22:54:38] <jagsph_> and i have my own private net on theirs.
[22:54:51] <nebukan> u should run a man in the middle with squid and upsidedown
[22:54:51] <jagsph_> for my whole apt.
[22:55:24] <jagsph_> force all their traffic un-encrypted.
[22:56:00] <nebukan> i used to have access to my neighbors wifi at home
[22:56:01] <jagsph_> nebukan: i can turn off my dhcp and private net and put my systems directly onto theirs if i want with the repeater but i want a little more security than that
[22:56:10] <nebukan> then i checked radio off when i was drunk
[22:56:15] <nebukan> never saw it again
[22:56:41] <jagsph_> good one heh
[22:56:57] <jagsph_> when i open too many sockets their router stops responding untill they close
[22:57:03] <nebukan> dd-wrt should be able to do vlans? even though its wireless( not super secure but still)
[22:57:09] <theubermensche> I upload dd-wrt on my neighbors router once
[22:57:24] <theubermensche> uploaded
[22:57:28] <jagsph_> it does to vpn
[22:57:31] <jagsph_> do*
[22:58:11] <jagsph_> nebukan: i have the cheapest dd-wrt router ever........ dell truemobile 2300
[22:58:35] <jagsph_> theubermensche: how did that work out? it wont let u login via wireless unless u modified the bin
[22:58:56] <nebukan> i'd like to buy a nice linksys one, but i read the thruput to wan isent that great
[22:59:08] <theubermensche> they had default passwords set up on their router
[22:59:30] <nebukan> i got a 100mbit connection aat home so 50mbit or what they do isent enough
[22:59:54] <jagsph_> i meant dd-wrt doesnt allow a remote login on first upload
[23:00:10] <theubermensche> I saw they had a linksys. Once, I was connected I just went into admin and did a wireless update
[23:00:17] <nebukan> theubermensche: did everything work out or did it go offline to never be seen again
[23:00:31] <theubermensche> it actually came back online
[23:00:44] <theubermensche> then I tried to bridge it with mine
[23:01:13] <nebukan> load balancing with yr neighbours wifi would kick ass
[23:01:35] <nebukan> i dont know anything bout load balancing though
[23:01:55] <jagsph_> nebukan: yeh u can do that lol....
[23:02:58] <jagsph_> nebukan: its really easy.... very easy.....
[23:03:37] <jagsph_> nebukan: but im being nice to them, i have qos on so i keep my bandwidth down... and i dont have my own internet.... but im tempted to use backtrack on one of the other lans out here.
[23:04:03] <nebukan> hehe dont shit where i sleep
[23:04:07] <nebukan> i/u
[23:04:31] <jagsph_> thats why i use qos
[23:05:16] <nebukan> Direct Server Return: an option for asymmetrical load distribution, where request and reply have different network paths.
[23:05:31] <nebukan> that would be something
[23:06:52] <theubermensche> do you all have hacked zipits?
[23:07:25] <jagsph_> nebukan: do you know what i rebroadcast my neighbors wireless as?
[23:07:38] <jagsph_> theubermensche: whats a zipit?
[23:07:41] <nebukan> theubermensche: ofc!
[23:07:42] <jagsph_> :D
[23:07:58] <nebukan> jagsph_: no haha
[23:08:07] <theubermensche> :)
[23:08:24] <theubermensche> I've just been trying to justify buying one
[23:08:31] <jagsph_> i didnt think i could say that in the channel
[23:08:52] <jagsph_> theubermensche: its a good emulation system
[23:08:59] <jagsph_> for gameboy
[23:09:02] <nebukan> theubermensche: put alot of porn on it. pornit.
[23:09:03] <jagsph_> ...nes
[23:09:18] <jagsph_> I made a script to play redtube on it
[23:09:32] <theubermensche> cool
[23:09:36] <nebukan> ssh and use irssi
[23:09:47] <theubermensche> have you used the average user image?
[23:09:54] <nebukan> jagsph_: nice! haah
[23:10:34] <nebukan> i played quake on the bus the other day. that was alot of fun
[23:11:11] <jagsph_> nebukan: you should be able to connect to other computers on the internet with sdlquake
[23:12:10] <theubermensche> I heard that the drivers to the wireless card are closed so there is no chance of kismet or airodump. Is that true?
[23:12:11] <nebukan> jagsph_: awesome, my quake seg faults out of the blue now
[23:12:28] <jagsph_> theubermensche: zipit.rootnexus.org is my site.... the userland is a pre-release of the final im working on.....
[23:12:40] <jagsph_> nebukan: on the z2? weird?
[23:13:12] <nebukan> jagsph_: yeah, dont know why, i did alot of shit to get tun/tap working but without results, you never know....
[23:13:15] <jagsph_> theubermensche: i havent tried it..... thats what i heard..... if u want something to do that get a $50 laptop with 64mb of ram and a dwl-g120 rev b1
[23:13:18] <theubermensche> okay. Well, good work!
[23:13:36] <jagsph_> and grab a copy of debian...
[23:14:15] <theubermensche> I have a netbook for that. I was just curious
[23:14:20] <jagsph_> nebukan: it might be u have not enough swap configured..... i havent seen one crash on it
[23:14:54] <jagsph_> theubermensche: yeh just throwing it out there... i see them all over ebay im tempted to buy a cheap old laptop
[23:15:23] <theubermensche> man, I just threw away a toshiba libretto 100
[23:15:46] <theubermensche> the case was all screwed up though
[23:16:37] <jagsph_> theubermensche: ive got a dell 366mhz w/256mb of ram it does rather well just worthless with flash
[23:17:02] <jagsph_> you just have to pick the right software for something that old.....
[23:17:36] <theubermensche> who needs flash....according to Jobs
[23:18:18] <theubermensche> I had the libretto with a 233mhz/64mb of ram running xp pro
[23:18:18] <nebukan> steve mobs
[23:18:36] <theubermensche> It actually played youtube in firefox
[23:19:01] <jagsph_> i dont know what version u are using because it wont play at all on mine
[23:20:21] <jagsph_> you must have some sort of graphics acceleration ......
[23:20:31] <jagsph_> mine does not have any 3d capabilities
[23:21:10] <theubermensche> mine didn't either
[23:21:22] <theubermensche> but youtube has changed over the years
[23:21:32] <theubermensche> have you tried the html5 version?
[23:21:43] <jagsph_> no
[23:22:18] *** Webhostbudd has joined #zipit
[23:22:48] <theubermensche> There is a setting in youtube that lets you use the html5 version of youtube when it is available
[23:22:52] <theubermensche> it can help
[23:24:00] <jagsph_> i will try next time gf wants to look at youtube
[23:24:05] <jagsph_> for now i have a copy/paste url set up
[23:24:21] <jagsph_> which plays it in mplayer....
[23:26:59] <nebukan> nice
[23:27:23] <Webhostbudd> so are you guys using the default browser on the release?
[23:27:26] <nebukan> i hardly use youtube except when drewling over new tech toys
[23:28:03] <jagsph_> Webhostbudd: there isnt much else besides links2 that works in 32mb of ram. the other option is dillo but its rendering is very poor.
[23:28:14] <Webhostbudd> alright
[23:28:24] <nebukan> i was thinkin what a stripped down webkitbrowser would do
[23:28:34] <jagsph_> nebukan: youtube is good for downloading music.... that feature is going into the next release of the userland
[23:28:40] <Webhostbudd> ooo
[23:28:41] <Webhostbudd> cool
[23:29:21] <jagsph_> i shouldnt release that kind of information though :)
[23:29:27] <nebukan> jagsph_: sweet.
[23:30:15] <theubermensche> what about Android? Is the emulator to much of a resource hog?
[23:30:27] <nebukan> btw why does sudo try to resolv my hostname ? dont have my zipit within reach but saw something like that
[23:30:42] <jagsph_> nebukan: no idea
[23:30:55] <Webhostbudd> yea
[23:31:01] <Webhostbudd> sudo does for some reason
[23:31:10] <Webhostbudd> just make sure your hosts match your hostname
[23:32:56] <nebukan> ok
[23:33:14] <Webhostbudd> jagsph_: does updating apt work on these builds? or do you have a lot of custom stuff?
[23:33:53] *** user_ has joined #zipit
[23:34:06] <jagsph_> nebukan: i put in a backdoor to root if you are the logged in as user type op shell
[23:35:38] <user_> wicknix, ready for some edubook hacking?
[23:35:46] <jagsph_> Webhostbudd: apt-get works
[23:36:14] <Webhostbudd> so it wont break?
[23:36:15] <nebukan> lol op shell
[23:36:15] <Webhostbudd> alright
[23:38:20] <jagsph_> it might
[23:38:24] <jagsph_> i cant gaurantee
[23:38:28] <jagsph_> :)
[23:38:35] *** user_ has quit IRC
[23:39:51] *** user_ has joined #zipit
[23:41:26] <user_> jaq you using angstrom to generate these images?
[23:42:13] <user_> jagsph_
[23:42:21] <jagsph_> no not yet.
[23:42:51] <jagsph_> debian, and the nice utilities called dd and tar
[23:43:28] <user_> i was playing around with it the othernight and was able to get x11 to boot using the htcaspine frame in only 32 megs of ram
[23:43:56] <user_> the image size I mean was only 32 megs
[23:44:20] *** Webhostbudd has quit IRC
[23:45:15] <user_> was trying to get opie going but the image wasn't generating with them
[23:45:40] <jagsph_> yeh i want to switch to oe or angstrom... it wont be for a while though i have done some playing around with it and i have an image im working on
[23:46:46] <user_> i was surprised I could get it to boot on the 1st shot, so obviously it's pretty easy to start with
[23:47:14] <nebukan> alot of coverage on hak5 last week btw,
[23:48:04] <jagsph_> some of the software that i want isnt compiled in so i would have to pull it from debian binaries or build it from source..... debian unfortunately has too many dependencies that take up a lot of space.
[23:48:44] <jagsph_> nebukan: i didnt know what hak5 was until last week.
[23:49:03] <nebukan> i dont really know where to start but archmobile looks awesome for the zipit
[23:49:20] <nebukan> jagsph_: i like hak5, its cosy fun
[23:49:46] <nebukan> arch beeing the superior dist that is
[23:49:49] <user_> they got pictures of it running an htc device which is very similar to the zipit atleast seems that way
[23:50:40] <user_> with minimo and some snazzy looking pim and wireless software, would love to have that on this thing
[23:51:27] <jagsph_> speaking of that.....my tmobile contract is almost up and i want to put only linux on my g1.
[23:53:16] <theubermensche> I use a g1 on att
[23:55:22] <nebukan> im really hooked on the maemo n900
[23:55:30] <nebukan> expensive !
[23:55:35] <jagsph_> nebukan: no gcc for arch-arm?
[23:58:05] <nebukan> jagsph_: qemu i think
[23:58:24] <jagsph_> they dont have a binary of it for arm
[23:58:52] <jagsph_> means more cross compiling....
[23:59:19] <jagsph_> i kind of like building things on 32mb of ram :) its entertaining...
