[14:44:53] <aphixe20> I'm trying to see how i can get gcc to work.. i heard that this rootnexus image, can't compile.. which sucks cuz i have apps.. i want to build.. Is there a way to have X, and gcc, sound and wifi..
[14:47:24] *** Xstyanax has joined #zipit
[15:18:07] <aphixe20> hello world
[15:43:06] <aphixe20> sure is quiet
[15:44:07] <aliosa27> yep
[15:44:50] <aphixe20> aliosa27 does your image, have support for gcc?
[15:45:07] <aliosa27> the debian does
[15:45:15] <aphixe20> does it have x?
[15:45:29] <aliosa27> yes
[15:47:22] <aphixe20> Debian-Z2.tgz on your site?
[15:47:54] <aliosa27> yeppers
[15:49:18] <aphixe20> basicaly copy all the files to the memory card + gspsi.bin and gspi8686_hlp.bin to their folders?
[15:49:32] <aliosa27> yep
[15:49:44] <aliosa27> then you will have to apt-get install build-essentail
[15:49:51] <aliosa27> essential

[21:27:21] <aphixe20> how can i input { or } on zipit deb
[21:30:16] <aphixe20> nm
[21:30:21] <aphixe20> found out
[21:38:57] <aphixe20> aliosa27 I can't figure out how to do Ctrl keys.. on ur version.. but rootnexus.. it was the ... key
[21:43:18] <aphixe20> basically i need to figure out how to save in nano in bash
[21:43:26] <aphixe20> But can't do it
[21:48:10] <aphixe20> I tried nano in x.. still cant get how to use ctrl key
[21:52:56] <aphixe20> gonna try keymap file.. i have to try
[22:34:50] <aphixe20> sure is dead in here.. hah
[22:34:59] <aphixe20> i wish i knew what i am doing wrong
[22:35:44] <aphixe20> hrm.. perhaps i figure it out? we will see soon
[22:41:41] <rkdavis> aphixe20: you having probs with the keymap?
[22:41:49] <rkdavis> is this in X or console?
[22:44:11] <aphixe20> moment, seeing if what i did fixed it
[22:44:21] <rkdavis> k
[22:46:01] <aphixe20> how hard is it to learn to do scripts.. such as.. when debian boots.. to auto login and run X
[22:46:40] <aphixe20> I'm a noob, but i've done some basic coding.. in .net, for a vb class.
[22:48:23] <aphixe20> I got key, and mouse files working.. however
[22:52:14] *** rkdavis has left #zipit
[22:52:29] *** rkdavis has joined #zipit
[23:10:17] <aphixe20> I now am having issues with wpa.. I dont have a unencryited network..
[23:10:20] <aphixe20> wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf doesnt work.. i read thru http://mythopoeic.org/linux-on-zipit/
[23:12:20] <wicknix> the zipits wireless is eth1
[23:12:48] <wicknix> and what userland you using?
[23:13:07] <aphixe20> just got the debian file off aliosa27
[23:13:23] <aphixe20> let me see what excact name it is
[23:13:39] <aphixe20> Debian-Z2.tgz
[23:13:57] <wicknix> if you use the rootnexus userland its quite easy. nice connection script on it.
[23:14:26] <aphixe20> I know i used it before.. but I asked for some way i could use Gcc to compile stuff. and everyone said n/a
[23:15:07] <aphixe20> wpa_supplicant said no command found
[23:15:08] <wicknix> sure. its debian based. just install build-essential
[23:15:14] <aphixe20> I tried!
[23:15:53] <wicknix> you'd need 1 hell of a swap partition and patience though to build on the zipit.
[23:16:18] <aphixe20> well.. how big of a swap should i give it
[23:16:51] <wicknix> at least 128mb if you plan to compile on it. probably more wouldnt hurt.
[23:18:09] <aphixe20> is there any info.. on getting wpa to work.. other then the little info. i could find. with making some conf file and running some command that doesn't exist
[23:18:46] <wicknix> dont know. i just use the script included in rootnexus. never had any issue with wpa on it.
[23:19:27] <aphixe20> i know.. me either.. but had issues, with installing gcc
[23:19:30] <wicknix> is wpa_supplicant even installed in the debian-z2 userland?
[23:19:58] <aphixe20> dont know.. i assume not?
[23:20:17] <wicknix> if you get command not found i'd assume not
[23:20:35] <aphixe20> no easy way to copy over the files for that?
[23:20:53] <wicknix> doubt it
[23:21:12] <aphixe20> have u gotten gcc to even work for ur zipit
[23:21:34] <wicknix> i havent tried. only have 1gb sd card thats almost full
[23:22:00] <wicknix> doom and quake take up alot of space. :)
[23:22:03] <aphixe20> haha
[23:22:25] <aphixe20> could also go spend 7 bucks and get a 2gb
[23:22:32] <wicknix> why not just set up a cross compiler?
[23:22:45] <aphixe20> dont know how
[23:23:09] <wicknix> openembedded is pretty self explanitory and has a great wiki
[23:23:36] <aphixe20> whats a cross compiler do? i compile on my pc and move some bins or something
[23:23:51] <wicknix> yep.
[23:24:09] <wicknix> much faster too.
[23:25:07] <wicknix> besides what do you need to build that isnt already in the debian repositories?
[23:25:32] <aphixe20> wonder if its even possible to install special fonts for zipit.. it be cool to install a japanese dictionary. then lug around a bulky, japanese electronic dic. but thats just a dream
[23:26:49] <wicknix> should be possible
[23:27:05] <aphixe20> i tried to install japanese dic and also some bible thing, using Apt-get and it didnt work.. I think cuz gt4 or something, its that windowing programing language
[23:27:34] <aphixe20> qt4
[23:27:55] <wicknix> ahh. prob too much for the poor zipit to handle
[23:28:15] <wicknix> it is only 316mhz with 32mb of ram
[23:28:27] <aphixe20> i couldnt download qt4 for some reason
[23:30:32] <wicknix> odd. run an apt-get update at all to update the package lists?
[23:30:59] <aphixe20> I'm gonna recopy over my old install, and try rootnexus again
[23:31:15] <wicknix> i havent had any issues so far with anything i have installed
[23:31:45] <wicknix> but i havent played with it too much. got a different project thats getting my atention.
[23:32:13] *** Bh420 has quit IRC
[23:32:44] <wicknix> i did make changes to the default rootnexus though. removed a lot, killed the the desktop icons, etc etc
[23:33:07] <wicknix> http://www.hostwork.com/users/matt/zipitz2/image/z2-desktop.png <-- my zipits desktop
[23:33:16] <wicknix> nice and clean :)
[23:34:59] <mtb369> nice, wicknix.
[23:35:04] <wicknix> thx
[23:35:18] <aphixe20> so u replaced ur wallpaper with some app that shows u all the cool stuff
[23:35:37] <aphixe20> a widget of some sort?
[23:35:47] <wicknix> no wallpaper either. just black background and conky
[23:36:01] <wicknix> and a homebrew conkyrc
[23:36:41] <mtb369> Yeah, conky doesn't look that pretty on mine..
[23:36:47] <wicknix> heh
