neat workaround for the qo$ syndrome |
| [05:55:47] |
<dTal> |
type cat in an empty termial |
| [05:55:55] |
<dTal> |
before closing the lid |

morning Mcavity |
| [08:45:53] |
<Mcavity> |
how goes the world? |
| [08:46:13] |
<rkdavis> |
got toothache and no creamer only milk for my coffee but okish |
| [08:46:42] |
<Mcavity> |
and i have no good food cuz im still on a diet |
| [08:47:14] |
<rkdavis> |
Mcavity: i saw a thing on tv yesterday that said diets don;t work |
| [08:47:34] |
<rkdavis> |
that they actually make it harder to lose weight, you should just have smaller portions :) |
| [08:48:19] |
<dTal> |
rkdavis: yes |
| [08:49:03] |
<dTal> |
turns out alt-left and right (and up and down) were bound to stuff, so no wonder it didn't work in irssi |
| [08:49:08] |
<rkdavis> |
dTal: i think alt-arrow is an ok combo |
| [08:49:22] |
<dTal> |
but I've unbound them and it still doesn't work. |
| [08:49:29] |
<rkdavis> |
it doesn;t generate a broken keycode |
| [08:49:44] |
<Mcavity> |
i do low carb.. that works for me.. i droped 60 pounds. im actualy a reasonable weight. i just want to drop a bit more. |
| [08:50:10] |
<rkdavis> |
dTal: give me a couple of minutes i need to get some more coffee and feed the cat then we'll sit down and get it sussed |
| [08:50:49] |
<dTal> |
fair nuff |
| [08:51:08] |
<dTal> |
not a big deal really, as esc works for meta too |
| [08:51:58] |
<dTal> |
although it's a bit of a pain because you have to release it every time, you can't just hold it down like you can with alt (on my desktop at least) |
| [08:53:08] |
<rkdavis> |
the one thing i have found problems with is using a key as a compose key, at least in stock |
| [08:53:32] |
<rkdavis> |
it works but it doesn't but it might be the font i am using doesn't have the accented chars |
| [08:54:42] |
<dTal> |
This font I'm using has hardly anything. Not too bothered though. |
| [08:56:06] |
<rkdavis> |
ok coffe check, cat fed check, kid woken up even though he has no class today and i'm a mean bugger check |
| [08:56:11] |
<rkdavis> |
ok let see |
| [08:56:28] |
<rkdavis> |
dTal: you still have no desktop with internet access i presume? |
| [08:57:02] |
<dTal> |
I could get to one if I needed to. Do I need to? |
| [08:58:38] |
<dTal> |
I think this might be a complicated issue, with irssi. It's behaved like this in FreeBSD, but that was because the FreeBSD shell intercepts alt. |
| [08:58:54] |
<dTal> |
I don't think anything's intercepting alt here. |
| [08:59:16] |
<rkdavis> |
nope just so you could see two images |
| [08:59:45] |
<rkdavis> |
one with the keycodes on it and my pdf with the bad combos marked |
| [08:59:59] |

mozzwald_ has quit IRC |

<dTal> |
I can get key combos with showkeys, so that's okay |
| [09:00:22] |
<dTal> |
they're all in the keymap anyway |
| [09:01:15] |
<rkdavis> |
ok |
| [09:01:22] |
<rkdavis> |
let me putty into my zipit |
| [09:06:58] |
<rkdavis> |
ok looks like the alt+arrows doesn't work but altgr+arrows does work |
| [09:07:44] |
<dTal> |
think I might have worked it out |
| [09:07:56] |
<rkdavis> |
nope they are rebindable with alt and altgr |
| [09:08:00] |
<dTal> |
alt isn't sending meta, which is actually what irssi expecting |
| [09:08:14] |
<dTal> |
let me try |
| [09:08:21] |
<rkdavis> |
keycode 102 = Alt |
| [09:08:21] |
<rkdavis> |
keycode 103 = Up |
| [09:08:21] |
<rkdavis> |
alt keycode 103 = bracketright |
| [09:08:28] |
<rkdavis> |
that was the small map i loaded |
| [09:08:37] |
<rkdavis> |
but the alt key also does it |
| [09:09:01] |
<rkdavis> |
dTal: yup you'll need to change the alt to be a meta |
| [09:09:19] |
<dTal> |
can't it be both? |
| [09:09:20] |
<rkdavis> |
i think you need to add the line at the top of the file Alt_isMeta iirc |
| [09:09:46] |
<dTal> |
what if I just add it as a binding? |
| [09:10:02] |
<dTal> |
keycode 56 = Alt |
| [09:10:05] |
<rkdavis> |
what keycode 56 = Meta ? |
| [09:10:08] |
<dTal> |
then keycode 56 = Meta |
| [09:10:11] |
<dTal> |
yeah |
| [09:10:24] |
<rkdavis> |
nope it would overwrite the Alt def |
| [09:10:25] |
<dTal> |
at the same time? would that work? |
| [09:10:29] |
<dTal> |
oh |
| [09:10:46] |
<rkdavis> |
let me check there is something about alt is meta on the inna'webs |
| [09:10:50] |
<rkdavis> |
i saw it a while back |
| [09:11:27] |
<dTal> |
it didnt like Alt_isMeta |
| [09:11:59] |
<rkdavis> |
alt_is_meta Whenever some combination is defined as an ASCII symbol, and there is a corresponding Alt keymap |
| [09:12:07] |
<rkdavis> |
yup because i didn't send it right |
| [09:12:27] |
<rkdavis> |
there are some other thijgs that seem to need to be added but this page was cut off let me find a better one |
| [09:13:32] |
<rkdavis> |
alt_is_meta Whenever some combination is defined as an ASCII symbol, and there is a corresponding Alt keymap, define by default the corresponding Alt combination as Meta_value. |
| [09:13:33] |
<dTal> |
actually I think I won't change it |
| [09:13:54] |
<rkdavis> |
yup it might screw up other things but that should be the way irssi likes it |
| [09:14:02] |
<dTal> |
where is that page? |
| [09:14:16] |
<rkdavis> |
it's just the keymap man page |
| [09:14:23] |
<dTal> |
I'm gonna bind alt left and alt right to be meta left and meta right |
| [09:14:35] |
<rkdavis> |
so google keymap man and it'll bring one up -- this one was ubuntu's copy |
| [09:14:42] |
<dTal> |
I can do that right? |
| [09:15:34] |
<rkdavis> |
hmmmmm not sure but i can't see why not |
| [09:15:51] |
<rkdavis> |
other than the /broken/ combos everything is rebindable |
| [09:17:48] |
<dTal> |
hmm it didn't like Meta_Left |
| [09:17:52] |
<dTal> |
maybe case |
| [09:18:34] |
<rkdavis> |
yup keymaps are weird, case seems to be whatever they happened to type or if th ecat pressed the siftkey |
| [09:18:53] |
<rkdavis> |
i half expect some of them to be in random case |
| [09:19:08] |
<dTal> |
no, it wasn't case |
| [09:19:23] |
<dTal> |
lowercase gives an error that it doesn't know what 'left' is |
| [09:19:35] |
<dTal> |
so I guess it does know what 'Left' is |
| [09:19:54] |
<dTal> |
it just won't give anything more helpfule than 'syntax error' |
| [09:22:16] |
<rkdavis> |
try Left_Meta |
| [09:22:49] |
<rkdavis> |
there seems to be no list of valid keynames other thna the typical answer of use the source |
| [09:24:14] |
<dTal> |
There's a few other meta combos |
| [09:24:28] |
<dTal> |
which I am endeavoring to copy exactly |
| [09:24:40] |
<dTal> |
how sensitive to things like tabs vs spaces is it? |
| [09:27:02] |
<rkdavis> |
doesn't seem to be but i try to use tabs if i remember for lining up |
| [09:29:52] |

can someone on a linux desktop where alt works as meta tell me what strings alt-left and alt-right correspond to? |
| [10:29:56] |
<dTal> |
Never mind. |
| [10:39:53] |
<dTal> |
Okay, this is weird. I defined the strings "Meta_Left" and "Meta_Right" as various escape sequences, with lines such as: string Meta_Left = "\033\033[D" |
| [10:40:29] |
<dTal> |
Yet loadkeys still complains: unknown keysym 'Meta_Left' |
| [10:48:09] |
*** |
des has quit IRC |
| [10:51:07] |
<dTal> |
Okay, that's dumb. |
| [10:51:41] |
<dTal> |
You can assign arbitrary strings to functions, but it has to have heard the function name before. |
| [10:52:01] |
<dTal> |
So I can't use Meta_Left, but I can use F35. |
| [10:52:10] |
<dTal> |
Stupid stupis stupid. |
| [10:56:28] |
<dTal> |
And it still doesn't work. |
| [10:56:54] |
<dTal> |
Hm, so maybe it isn't even reading the string declaration? |
| [11:04:16] |
<dTal> |
Okay, at least it reads the string declaration if I put it at the start of the file. Evidently it parses the file sequentially. Why the f*** are all the string definitions at the end then? |
| [11:04:36] |
<dTal> |
I am in awe of how dumb this is. |
| [11:11:13] |
<rkdavis> |
did you try clearing the string table first? |
| [11:14:26] |
<dTal> |
I don't know what that means. |
| [11:14:43] |
<dTal> |
But dumpkeys says I have 8 keymaps in use. |
| [11:18:40] |
<dTal> |
holy crap it works |
| [11:19:00] |
<dTal> |
It's still dumb I can't use Meta_Left and Meta_Right though. |
| [11:19:03] |
<rkdavis> |
dtal clearing the string table is by using -s when you run loadkeys |
| [11:19:29] |
<rkdavis> |
cool so you have simulated alt thingies for irssi? |
| [11:19:46] |
<dTal> |
no it doesn't work, I spoke to soon |
| [11:19:48] |
<dTal> |
again |
| [11:19:51] |

des has joined #zipit |
| [11:23:08] |
<rkdavis> |
ugh |
| [11:25:32] |
<dTal> |
it seems it simply isn't respecting that keystroke |
| [11:26:31] |
<rkdavis> |
hmmmmm |
| [11:28:43] |
<dTal> |
or indeed any modifier with arrows |
| [11:29:57] |
<dTal> |
althought that may be a different reason |
| [11:30:09] |
<rkdavis> |
ok there must be a way to do this -- let me dig in some code for a few |
| [11:30:28] |
<dTal> |
I want to know why this isn't working |
| [11:30:31] |
<dTal> |
it should |
| [11:30:51] |
<dTal> |
it's not even the escape sequence |
| [11:31:15] |
<dTal> |
I have it set now so that alt-left should print "shpoople" |
| [11:31:20] |
<dTal> |
it doesn't |
| [11:32:16] |
<dTal> |
but if I assign that same symbol to the simple 's' key, it does |
| [11:33:26] |
<rkdavis> |
this is rootnexus thus debian isn't it? |
| [11:33:34] |
<dTal> |
nothing untoward in showkey, all presses and releases registered |
| [11:33:35] |
<dTal> |
yes |
| [11:34:01] |
<dTal> |
I might try this same routine in your plain jane keymap |
| [11:34:09] |
<dTal> |
maybe a conflict somewhere |
| [11:34:14] |
<rkdavis> |
ok i have a suggestion -- it probably won't work but lets try changing the arrows keycodes and see if there is something hinky about the numbering |
| [11:34:26] |
<rkdavis> |
do you have the prog setkeycoses? |
| [11:34:32] |
<rkdavis> |
setkeycodes even |
| [11:34:40] |
<dTal> |
yes |
| [11:34:56] |
<dTal> |
but this sounds unneccesary |
| [11:34:59] |
<rkdavis> |
ok run showkey -s and get the scan code of the arrows |
| [11:35:23] |
<rkdavis> |
well i'm wondering if there is something hinky with the keys in the 100s |
| [11:36:07] |
<dTal> |
0x69 0xe9 |
| [11:36:07] |
<dTal> |
0x6a 0xea |
| [11:36:20] |
<dTal> |
first is left press and release, second is right |
| [11:37:02] |
<rkdavis> |
ok |
| [11:37:07] |
<rkdavis> |
oh just try something |
| [11:37:13] |
<rkdavis> |
press and release the alt key |
| [11:37:19] |
<rkdavis> |
and one of the letter keys |
| [11:37:59] |
<dTal> |
0x38 0xb8 |
| [11:37:59] |
<dTal> |
0x1f 0x9f |
| [11:38:02] |
<dTal> |
alt and s |
| [11:38:30] |
<rkdavis> |
ok so iirc setkeycodes lets you assign a scan code to produce a keycode |
| [11:39:06] |
<rkdavis> |
so try setkeycodes 0x69 something |
| [11:39:18] |
<rkdavis> |
but look for a currently unused keycode below 100 |
| [11:41:57] |
<dTal> |
I'm more curious as to why it doesn't work now |
| [11:46:41] |
<dTal> |
okay it works with yours |
| [11:46:54] |
<dTal> |
alt-left makes "shpoople!" |
| [11:47:17] |
<dTal> |
so something else in that file is interfering |
| [11:49:53] |
<dTal> |
and if I set the escape codes right it works in irssi |
| [11:50:14] |
<dTal> |
seems I'm better off adding to your barebones keymap after all! |
| [11:51:25] |
<rkdavis> |
well i'm like you i'd love to know why things aren't working right -- it's bloody annoying |
| [11:51:54] |
<dTal> |
it's something in that keymap |
| [11:53:33] |
<rkdavis> |
it could be the numbers at the top -- i never really got that sussed i sort of know it but not comfertable with it exactly |
| [11:58:03] |
<dTal> |
Those just say what combinations of modifiers are allowed |
| [11:58:16] |
<dTal> |
and we know alt is allowed on its own |
| [12:04:58] |

hello dr nick |

<s-hell1> |
i tried to run the "image" from aliosa27 but it doesn't detects the wlan card |
| [15:33:44] |
<s-hell1> |
what should i do? |
| [15:33:52] |
<aliosa27> |
did you add the firmware files |
| [15:33:59] |
<aliosa27> |
and what is the output of dmesg |
| [15:33:59] |
<Gnuet> |
that's because you need to get the firmware onto ze card. |
| [15:35:28] |
<s-hell1> |
firmware files? do you mean the gsp... files? |

Ok, one more question: If i type in reboot or init 0 it doesn't work. It says it will, but it do nothing. |

<rkdavis> |
evening all |
| [18:58:55] |
<dTal> |
evening |
| [18:59:00] |
<dTal> |
more keymap maddness |
| [19:01:34] |
<dTal> |
the plain keymap you sent me is weird rkdavis |
| [19:01:41] |
<rkdavis> |
ok what is it this time? |
| [19:01:48] |
<dTal> |
the number one doesn't work properly |
| [19:01:54] |
<rkdavis> |
on the full moon all the keys reverse? |
| [19:02:09] |
<dTal> |
and the thing I did for irssi only works for left, not right |
| [19:02:13] |
<rkdavis> |
ok |
| [19:02:28] |
<rkdavis> |
well lets look at the 1 key first |
| [19:02:31] |
<dTal> |
in both cases they are configured identically to the ones that work |
| [19:02:38] |
<dTal> |
I swear it's mocking me |
| [19:02:43] |
<rkdavis> |
you using my skeleton or did you do one from scratch? |
| [19:02:47] |
<dTal> |
skeleton |
| [19:02:55] |
<rkdavis> |
it probably is mocking you |
| [19:03:00] |
<rkdavis> |
zipits are sentiant |
| [19:03:13] |
<dTal> |
alt-left, perfect |
| [19:03:18] |
<dTal> |
alt-right, zipt |
| [19:03:21] |
<dTal> |
zip |
| [19:03:37] |
<rkdavis> |
ok let me bring up my skeleton and we'll see what's changed |
| [19:04:07] |
<dTal> |
I found a mistake in it too |
| [19:04:18] |
<rkdavis> |
ok so the one is on key 16 |
| [19:04:25] |
<dTal> |
I forget what it was though, maybe I should undo a few levels to see |
| [19:04:28] |
<rkdavis> |
oh cool the alt shift j? |
| [19:04:45] |
<rkdavis> |
that was broken for a while i might not have fixed it in this map yet |
| [19:05:21] |
<rkdavis> |
i do see a mistake in the skeleton ketmap anyway on the 1 key |
| [19:05:30] |
<rkdavis> |
there are two alt definitions |
| [19:06:14] |
<rkdavis> |
probbaly crept in when i was switching from altgr to alt for the map i wa s/publishing/ |
| [19:06:16] |
<dTal> |
no something else |
| [19:06:35] |
<rkdavis> |
ok what was the error? |

<dTal> |
hmm well I see part of the problem |
| [19:13:28] |
<dTal> |
I was loading the wrong file |
| [19:13:46] |
<dTal> |
can you assign a string to a key without going through a keysym? |
| [19:15:07] |
<dTal> |
I am wholly unimpressed by this whole system, unless I'm missing something major |
| [19:16:11] |
<rkdavis> |
well the fact you can override the kernel keymap and do it arbitarily is very good |
| [19:16:26] |
<rkdavis> |
it could be cleaner and less complicated yes but the ability is good |
| [19:17:18] |
<dTal> |
this keysym system is ludicrous |
| [19:17:47] |
<dTal> |
I can only define stuff in terms of things Linux already knows about |
| [19:18:12] |
<rkdavis> |
how do you mean? it's actually simple itheoretically but the impl. is a bit lacking that's all |
| [19:18:19] |
<dTal> |
there *is* no Meta_Left or Meta_Right, for no reason apart from oversight |
| [19:18:26] |
<dTal> |
and I can't add one |
| [19:18:47] |
<dTal> |
so to get the functionality I'm forced to overload another keysym |
| [19:19:02] |
<rkdavis> |
no you can only define what is in the source i.e. use the symbols that were in the source as in any s/w |
| [19:19:26] |
<rkdavis> |
if you don't tell the source a name to use then it won't know it but all it is is nmonic for an enum |
| [19:19:36] |
<rkdavis> |
if you wanted to work out the value you could use that |
| [19:20:10] |
<dTal> |
I don't see what's so hard about "kernel gets keypress, kernel returns ascii string" |
| [19:20:18] |
<rkdavis> |
it's not the best way but that's how s/w works you cna't use a constant that hasn't been defined |
| [19:21:10] |
<dTal> |
they added "kernel has default list of ascii strings", but for some reson also "kernel restricted to referring to ascii strings by names on its predefined list" |
| [19:22:35] |
<dTal> |
I can assign strings in the keymap, why not keysym names? |
| [19:22:46] |
<rkdavis> |
well blame whever compiled your kernel for that |
| [19:22:55] |
<dTal> |
why does everything have to go through keysyms anyway? |
| [19:23:01] |
<rkdavis> |
because that's not how it works |
| [19:23:09] |
<rkdavis> |
a keysym is a reserved name |
| [19:23:16] |
<rkdavis> |
a string is a string |
| [19:23:24] |
<dTal> |
why can't a keymap just be a bunch of strings in double quotes? |
| [19:23:30] |
<rkdavis> |
you can't call a variable or constant by a reserved name |
| [19:23:33] |
<dTal> |
assigned to keys and modifiers |
| [19:24:19] |
<rkdavis> |
because that's not how the kernel was desgned. if you don't like it write your own kernel or complain to linus :) -- this is how things are and you have to work within the limitations |
| [19:24:52] |
<dTal> |
I mean, there is a very large number of potential combinations of keypresses |
| [19:24:56] |
<rkdavis> |
and strings are not supposed to be used like that, strings are supposed to be /macros/ |
| [19:25:31] |
<dTal> |
8 potential modifiers, hundred odd keys, 800 potential keysyms? |
| [19:25:43] |
<dTal> |
and only a few hundred defined? |
| [19:25:49] |
<dTal> |
and this is *flexible*? |
| [19:25:54] |
<rkdavis> |
well it's 256 potential modieiers and 256 potential keys |
| [19:26:10] |
<rkdavis> |
it's just we don't use them all |
| [19:26:15] |
<dTal> |
I was talking practically speaking, but that's even worse |
| [19:26:32] |
<dTal> |
we don't use them all, but we might want to use any of them |
| [19:27:07] |
<rkdavis> |
and you can -- want to add a keysym edit the kernel source and add it |
| [19:27:13] |
<dTal> |
Pragmatically speaking, how should I resolve this cleanly? |
| [19:27:31] |
<rkdavis> |
stop using irssi :) |
| [19:28:05] |
<dTal> |
In other words, there isn't a way. |
| [19:28:11] |
<rkdavis> |
or find some other keystroke that has the same effect in irssi -- it probably has a couple of ways to do the alt thing |
| [19:28:19] |
<dTal> |
It's not just irssi |
| [19:28:37] |
<rkdavis> |
i don't know if there is a way or not, i've neber come across it so i've never had to solve it |
| [19:28:37] |
<dTal> |
esc works as a meta in irssi fine |
| [19:28:56] |
<dTal> |
but I want alt-arrows to be meta-arrows |
| [19:29:02] |
<dTal> |
in doom that's strafe |
| [19:29:20] |
<dTal> |
in mozilla it's back and forward |
| [19:29:26] |
<dTal> |
I'm sure there's others |
| [19:30:57] |
<rkdavis> |
well first of all it works for me to redefine them but i don't bother with meta stuff i do it directly and second of all you just need to get the kernel dource and read the key.h header and a couple of others and it'll give you the keysyms |
| [19:31:57] |
<rkdavis> |
and are you doing things like clearing the keymap before loading your new one -- that could be cauing problems |
| [19:32:37] |

I'm thinking of trying to load a tv episode onto it and seeing how it runs |

Also, of course ATI driver would break my Fedora |

where do you get Jag's userland ? |
| [22:04:46] |
<capitalsown> |
rootnexus |
| [22:04:50] |
<capitalsown> |
zipit.rootnexus.com |

I believe |

<capitalsown> |
are you running linux? |
| [22:05:25] |
<Mcavity> |
yes its called mplayer =) |
| [22:05:44] |

capital you realy will need to transcode it down |
| [22:07:02] |
<capitalsown> |
I know, I know |
| [22:07:37] |

If it runs well, though, I might just get a huge sd and load a few shows on it for plane rides and road trips :P |
