[10:17:11] <adnyxo> how much power does moblin need to run?
[10:17:16] <adnyxo> its for phones
[10:17:21] <adnyxo> just powerful phones
[10:17:30] <adnyxo> in other words, does it have a chance on the zipit?
[10:38:10] <adnyxo> so i found the wifi antenna on the zipit
[10:38:30] <adnyxo> is there any way to upgrade it, or are there any components i should keep it away from?
[11:02:28] <muriani> moblin is more for nettops/tablets
[11:02:33] <muriani> I think
[11:13:19] <rkdavis1> morning all
[11:47:23] <muriani> morning
[11:47:59] <muriani> I'm trying ubuntu netbook remix on the beagle right now. Too bad the zipit screen's so small, the UI's pretty slick
[12:21:47] *** GPSFan has quit IRC
[12:47:23] <rkdavis1> ok this is getting really annoying
[12:47:50] <rkdavis1> switching vt in z2shell leaves an unkillable cursor the next time i use a vt :(
[13:08:21] <Foxx> [10:38:AM] <adnyxo> is there any way to upgrade it, or are there any components i should keep it away from?
[13:08:30] <Foxx> yeah, you can "upgrade" the antenna
[13:08:40] <Foxx> but it would make the unit kinda' bulky
[13:08:47] <rkdavis1> yo Foxx
[13:08:49] <adnyxo> or is there a better place to put it?
[13:08:57] <Foxx> its in a perfect place
[13:09:04] <adnyxo> okay
[13:09:14] <Foxx> check out www.BSoDtv.org in my wifi segments
[13:09:14] <adnyxo> hey its been a while since youve been here
[13:09:26] <adnyxo> the channel has been really quiet the past couple weeks
[13:09:31] <Foxx> I explain *everything* you ever need to know about wifi hardware hacking
[13:09:38] <Foxx> and ive been lurking mostly
[13:09:53] <Foxx> havent had much time to chat
[13:10:08] <adnyxo> what episode number
[13:10:24] <Foxx> well you can do one of two things...
[13:10:30] <Foxx> download epsode 14-26
[13:10:47] <Foxx> or wait a while, im making a 2.4Ghz mini series
[13:11:01] <Foxx> might only be 3-4 episodes, depending on how much new content is made, if any
[13:11:23] <adnyxo> apparently no one has had much time
[13:11:31] <adnyxo> havent seen jagsph either in a while
[13:11:48] <Foxx> yeah ive had a chronic case of Life recently
[13:12:12] <Foxx> normally im just a downright rotten bastard to everyone and they leave me alone!
[13:12:40] <Foxx> ive started hitting people as if im mentally challenegd and they touched my 'special place'
[13:12:57] <Foxx> ... and some of em just dont get the freakin' point of FUCK OFF
[13:13:17] <Foxx> rkdavis, no chance in hell im free today, im booked solid
[13:13:23] <Foxx> and I havent slept >:/
[14:21:22] <adnyxo> so now my z2 is shutting off randomly, losing power

[16:25:02] <Marex> adnyxo: someone killed his device again ?
[16:25:45] <adnyxo> that would be me
[16:25:51] <adnyxo> or more specifically, the display
[16:26:26] <adnyxo> i was messing with the display and separated something that shouldnt have been
[16:26:36] <adnyxo> but why do you say again
[16:26:46] <muriani> someone commented on the IM-ME spec analyzer article saying he had access to thousands at a ridiculous price point
[16:26:58] <muriani> like <$20
[16:27:18] <muriani> wanting to know if that specany system could be ported to the z2

[16:27:49] *** des has joined #zipit
[16:27:56] <muriani> oh wait
[16:27:57] <muriani> nevermind
[16:28:03] <muriani> that's the original zipit
[16:28:06] <muriani> gah, my bad
[16:28:33] <adnyxo> ill have to try and contact him
[16:28:41] <adnyxo> at that price ill take 3
[16:28:50] <muriani> it's z1, not z2
[16:28:58] <muriani> I misread
[16:29:23] <adnyxo> oh
[16:29:30] <adnyxo> i just need the lcd tho
[16:29:36] <adnyxo> so a broken unit would be fine
[16:29:42] <adnyxo> none on ebay just now though
[16:30:01] <adnyxo> but i have a friend that i can convince to try hacking his zipit
[16:30:11] <adnyxo> he will fail, and probably give me the broken thing
[16:30:17] <adnyxo> lol im an evil person
[16:30:43] <adnyxo> course it couldnt hurt to have a z1 around
[16:31:09] <Marex> adnyxo: you really are an idiot
[16:31:29] <Marex> adnyxo: Z2 costs $50 ... don't cause problems to other people
[16:31:40] <adnyxo> im just joking,
[16:31:48] <adnyxo> im actually going to help him set it up
[16:31:59] <adnyxo> you underestimate me
[16:32:20] <adnyxo> rkdavis1, any news on usb?
[16:32:31] <adnyxo> Marex, it was a joke
[16:32:34] * Marex still has two spare units ... and one development one
[16:32:45] <Marex> s/one/a/
[16:33:02] <Marex> haven't managed to kill any Z2 yet
[16:33:12] <Marex> adnyxo: what have you done to the LCD ?
[16:33:14] <rkdavis1> adnyxo: been too busy to test gpsfan's stuff but i have the connectors now
[16:33:22] <adnyxo> cool
[16:33:22] <rkdavis1> so i can makle a cable
[16:33:37] <rkdavis1> but waiting to meet up with for for a serial mod session
[16:33:40] <adnyxo> Marex, i tore the ribbon cable along the back of it
[16:34:54] <adnyxo> how much soldering to the board does it require
[16:36:09] <adnyxo> a lot or a little will do
[16:41:14] <adnyxo> Marex you wanna sell one?
[16:42:11] <Marex> adnyxo: no, those are not for sale ...
[16:57:21] *** pacifica has joined #zipit
[17:00:39] <pacifica> Hello, I've booted up using the image from oddree.com, IZ2S v2.04 - 2/2010, and when enter the name and WEP key for my home wireless network, I get a message that it's searching for an ip address and then the zipit just hangs. I've looked on the net quite a bit for a solution, but have not found any. Can anyone help?
[17:05:49] *** T7g has joined #zipit
[17:10:07] *** Zachzor has joined #zipit
[17:10:27] <Zachzor> Can someone help me with connecting via ftp to a zipit running RootNexus's userland?
[17:11:02] <rkdavis1> pacifica: iz2s isn't setup for wep -- it uses wpa/wpa2
[17:11:16] <rkdavis1> you'll have to mod the script by hand or setup the wifi by hand
[17:18:33] <Zachzor> Does anyone know how to connect a zipit using ftp?
[17:23:51] <muriani> is there an ftp server installed?
[17:24:11] <Zachzor> that is my first issue
[17:24:20] <Zachzor> what should I do for apt-get
[17:24:25] <Zachzor> What is it that I install, I guess
[17:28:31] *** des has quit IRC
[17:29:22] <pacifica> rkdavis: Thanks, that is very helpful.
[17:30:09] *** des has joined #zipit
[17:42:31] <Marex> Zachzor: apt-get install proftpd or something
[17:42:37] <Zachzor> thank you
[17:43:03] <Marex> Zachzor: use apt-cache search <kw> or http://packages.debian.org next time
[17:43:45] <Zachzor> Excellent. I didn't know of that
[17:43:46] <Zachzor> thanks
[17:46:12] <Marex> Zachzor: why use ftp btw?
[17:46:19] <Marex> Zachzor: to transfer files, you can use scp
[17:46:28] <Zachzor> How would I set that up?
[17:48:45] <Marex> scp what user@where:path
[17:49:35] <Marex> demo ... scp file user@10.0.0.1:/tmp (copies file to /tmp if z2 ip is 10.0.0.1)
[17:49:47] <Zachzor> Ahhh, I see
[17:49:48] <Marex> if you have SSH on Z2, scp's already there
[17:49:52] <Zachzor> Thank you
[17:50:03] <Marex> you can install 'mc' - Midnight Commander - on the host machine
[17:50:20] <Zachzor> Alright, I will. Thanks
[17:50:21] <Marex> run 'mc', then just press F9 -> shell link ;
[17:50:43] <Marex> put 'user@10.0.0.1' there, type password
[17:50:54] <Marex> then pres Control-O twice (to refresh the screen)
[17:51:01] <Marex> and you have ftp-like access
[17:51:16] <Marex> I think there's a scp utility for wincrap too, but I won't trust it

[18:54:10] <pacifica> Thanks rkdavis1, I upgraded my wireless router to wpa, and the zipit connected. and I learned something about wireless routing. Now when i run links or links2 i just get a blank screen
[18:54:28] <rkdavis1> yes press g
[18:54:40] <rkdavis1> or the little smilee button
[18:54:58] <adnyxo> hey rkdavis, im trying to solder on a different power connector to the zipit
[18:55:05] <rkdavis1> if yiu want to goto google for example type links google.com
[18:55:19] <adnyxo> do you know where the positive and negative pads are?
[18:55:28] <adnyxo> i assume the one in the back is ground
[18:55:36] <adnyxo> but i have assumed wrong many times
[18:56:10] <pacifica> that works, thank you both very much.
[18:56:54] <rkdavis1> adnyxo: sorry no
[18:57:10] <adnyxo> anywhere i can look? im trying the sourceforge page right now
[18:57:35] <adnyxo> i know someone was talking about adding a 9 volt connector to his/her zipit, and provided a picture
[18:57:40] <adnyxo> i just cant remember who it is
[18:58:08] <rkdavis1> not got the foggiest i'm afraid
[18:59:34] <adnyxo> ung
[18:59:43] <adnyxo> i suppose i can guess
[18:59:46] <adnyxo> heh
[19:14:40] <adnyxo> if whoever it was that added the 9 volt connector could help me, that would be great
[19:22:33] <pacifica> Is it possible to make links2 scale to the display so you can see the page better?
