[18:27:45] *** mycroftxxx has joined #zipit
[18:29:48] <mycroftxxx> Ok, question for the class. I previously flashed my z2 to the openzipit firmware. What will I need to do to use Rootnexus's userland image?
[18:31:24] *** adnyxo has joined #zipit
[18:31:26] <rkdavis1> in theory just put rootnexus on an sd card and boot
[18:32:18] <rkdavis1> but probably better to also swap to the kernel on the rootnexus sd card anyway so dd it like you did for the openzipit oe based rootfs
[18:35:00] <mycroftxxx> Hokay. Thank you! How I just need to wait for the images to become available again.
[18:35:46] <rkdavis1> the rootnexus image is gone?
[18:36:11] <mycroftxxx> http://zipit.rootnexus.org/files/Z2-USERLAND/SCRATCH/REVA01-PRE/
[18:36:19] <Limp_Trizkit> they're up
[18:36:43] *** adnyxo has quit IRC
[18:36:45] <mycroftxxx> It is currently unavailable because rootnexus was notified that there was some copyrighted material in it he didn't have permission for
[18:36:48] <rkdavis1> http://zipit.rootnexus.org/files/Z2-USERLAND/RC1-PRE2/
[18:37:11] <rkdavis1> you have the old link this is the current one
[18:37:20] <mycroftxxx> ohhhh
[18:37:35] <mycroftxxx> I guess I should poke hunterdavis to modify his blog post
[18:38:37] <mycroftxxx> Thanks for the help (and the correct link)
[18:38:52] <rkdavis1> yw

[18:45:24] <Reddog^> http://sharism.cc/products/ben-nanonote/
[18:47:10] <rkdavis1> Reddog^: yup old news but looks sweet even if no builtin wifi -- but aliosa27 got one says it feels plasticy and feels slowr than the zipit
[18:50:32] *** adnyxo has quit IRC
[18:53:12] <Reddog^> ahh
[18:54:15] <rkdavis1> thats not to say i don't want a couple but
[18:54:36] <rkdavis1> it won't pass the WAF yet
[18:56:27] <rkdavis1> ah ok just took a look in the rootnexus rootfs, no wonder ppl are having trouble with certain characters, the keymaps suck, they are just the default ones from a pc not the tailored ones lokichaos did or the one that matches my pdf
[19:03:00] <ogmious09> fix it rkdavis1
[19:03:14] <ogmious09> take over the rootnexus and make it rknexus
[19:11:59] <rkdavis1> can't -- its deebian based and i don't want hippie cooties

[22:33:06] *** GPSFan has quit IRC
[23:11:01] *** GRUBaDubDub has joined #zipit
[23:15:02] <ogmious09> yeah but the rootnexus needs a lot of improvement and only you can do it rkdavis1
[23:15:36] <rkdavis1> ogmious09: no can do -- don't have a .29 kernel on any of my zipits
[23:15:44] <rkdavis1> stock on one and u-boot on the others
[23:16:02] <ogmious09> Stop being a mister can't and be a mister can
[23:22:17] <ogmious09> Use the force of the blimeys
[23:23:31] <ogmious09> How does one New Shiney Precious sound for your trouble?
[23:24:06] <rkdavis1> i wonder where jagsph disappeared too?
[23:24:34] <ogmious09> guantanamo
[23:24:43] <rkdavis1> heh
[23:24:50] <ogmious09> hippie bastard
[23:25:18] <rkdavis1> what is actually unfinished about rootnexus?
[23:25:18] <ogmious09> I heard he prolapsed his bowels and now he's in traction
[23:25:51] <ogmious09> well something more along the lines of what wicknix2 is doing with it
[23:26:28] <ogmious09> if that hippy ever releases his image
[23:29:04] <ogmious09> in your z2 image rkdavis1 can you get a graphical wifi scanner going?
[23:29:49] <ogmious09> something that does site survey kinda stuff
[23:29:52] <rkdavis1> well i have a simple setup script that scans the available ssid
[23:30:05] <rkdavis1> but not anything good like a stumbler
[23:30:12] <ogmious09> does it display them with there signal strength?
[23:30:22] <rkdavis1> but find me a curses based app and i can try to port it
[23:30:26] <ogmious09> and if they are password protected?
[23:30:36] <rkdavis1> not atm but that's just a bit of sed magic
[23:31:20] <ogmious09> I know there is one, I looked for a few days a couple months back and went through a bunch
[23:31:55] <rkdavis1> well i'm busy for the next couple of days but i can take a break to try one or two
[23:32:09] <ogmious09> BSD-AirTools
[23:32:32] <ogmious09> SSIDsniff
[23:32:59] <rkdavis1> ok i'll take a look the biggest problem is screen width
[23:33:36] <ogmious09> wavemon
[23:33:41] <ogmious09> it's a text based one
[23:33:58] <rkdavis1> wavemon worked on the z1 but it took alot of patches iirc
[23:34:01] <ogmious09> I'm in no big hurry and obviously dont expect you to break your back over it
[23:34:41] <ogmious09> I've kinda stated before just would really love to use these as wifi sniffers
[23:35:08] <ogmious09> and if I could log into the router to program it would be cool but not to die for, that's all browser based anyways
[23:35:16] <rkdavis1> the big thing is unfortunatly the drivers we have are just so sucky
[23:35:39] <rkdavis1> the chip itself is a nice chip but the drivers are so crippled just like in the iphone/itouch
[23:35:43] *** Malwyn has quit IRC
[23:35:49] <ogmious09> yeah I read that
[23:36:00] <rkdavis1> and noway to do anything about it without a take genius on staff which we don't have
[23:36:11] <ogmious09> I have pretty much given up on the idea, still playing around with angstrom but it's a steep learnign curve for me
[23:36:16] *** Malwyn has joined #zipit
[23:37:07] <ogmious09> those cheapo shentech netbooks all over ebay look promising
[23:37:28] <ogmious09> supposedly android image for them will be coming out soon too. wicknix2 turned me on to them
[23:39:31] <rkdavis1> linky
[23:39:51] *** marex has quit IRC
[23:39:54] <ogmious09> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349626&page=63
[23:40:01] <rkdavis1> i need to raise some funds but i want one of the chinkie netbooks for actual use while i continue mucking aorund with the zipit
[23:40:03] <ogmious09> well here is the forum working on porting linux to it
[23:41:00] <ogmious09> http://cgi.ebay.com/New-7-Mini-Netbook-Laptop-WIFI-Windows-2GB-HD-Notebook_W0QQitemZ180483054150QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLaptops_Nov05?hash=item2a05a0da46
[23:41:14] <ogmious09> here's an auction for one, there's a thousand a day closing for the same thing
[23:41:48] <ogmious09> but on the forumn link around page 60 or so, there is a guy talking about how a company is working on a android image for it
[23:42:29] <ogmious09> supposedly he has played with a prototype of the image on one, the image is supposed to go mass produced around April 4th or so
[23:43:01] <rkdavis1> i'll have to keep my eyes open when i have some dosh again
[23:44:04] *** Malwyn has quit IRC
[23:44:18] <ogmious09> heck even just the Windows CE that is on it would fit the use I am talking about
[23:44:42] <ogmious09> except it wouldn't handle the running a server on the laptop to flash ddwrt on the routers
[23:46:22] <rkdavis1> brb garbage time

[23:46:54] <ogmious09> man with your skills I would imagine writing his own checks farming his skills out
[23:47:07] *** Malwyn has joined #zipit
[23:52:16] *** Malwyn has quit IRC
[23:53:39] <rkdavis1> ok back
[23:54:22] <ogmious09> good I took the liberty of holding my breath and it was getting scarey towards the end there
[23:57:00] <rkdavis1> i'll try to be quicker next time
