[11:01:06] <rkdavis> morning all
[11:01:53] <rkdavis> new version of setup-wifi.sh for IZ2S (enhanced) if anyone is interested :) http://russelldavis.org/2010/04/new-version-of-setup-wifi-sh/
[11:17:52] *** GRUBaDubDub has quit IRC
[11:50:37] <jaldhar> rkdavis: btw I got the script working. I had to change some paths around as well as substitute dhclient but it works swimmingly now
[11:50:45] <rkdavis> great
[11:51:16] <rkdavis> i thought you might need to do something about udhcpc but wasn't sure if it would return the text the same enough that it would work
[11:51:30] <rkdavis> you might want to add an extra couple of lines though
[11:51:35] <rkdavis> as i made a slight mod
[11:51:52] <jaldhar> ok
[11:52:03] <rkdavis> to allow it to use the existing wpa_supplicant.conf
[11:52:26] <rkdavis> basicallt you need to add a dialog line and an if line and a fi line
[11:53:07] <rkdavis> but glad you go ti working
[11:54:13] <jaldhar> one thng I've noticed is that it is very hard to get a dhcp ack unless I'm practically right next to the ap. I don't know if that is dhclient, my setup, the zipit or what
[11:54:20] <rkdavis> dialog --backtitle "$backtitle" --title "Use current Wifi settings?" --yesno "Use the current settings in wpa_supplicant.conf" 8 30
[11:54:20] <rkdavis> if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
[11:54:20] <rkdavis> put that above the iwlist line
[11:54:58] <rkdavis> and fi after the esac and above the wpa_supplicant -B line
[11:55:20] <rkdavis> and it shoudl let you use your last settings if they haven't changed
[11:56:15] <rkdavis> hmmm i have no real problem but i'm not far from my router
[11:56:50] <rkdavis> did you have the problem before or just after you started using the script?
[11:57:21] <jaldhar> nice
[11:57:29] <jaldhar> I only noticed after but I don't think it is related.
[11:59:16] <rkdavis> what make of router?
[11:59:56] <rkdavis> i know that years ago you had to change the preamble for dlink routers but that was along time ago and the zipit HATED my really old b only belkin router
[12:02:10] <rkdavis> jaldhar: btw if you are still using the busybox applets for things like tee you can probably remove the busybox part as i think you'll probably have all those as real applets
[12:14:21] <jaldhar> its a netgear router and I have had problems with it and linux in the past though not lately. I suspect dhclient is the problem atm
[12:16:46] <rkdavis> ok might be a setting to tweak then
[12:16:54] <rkdavis> or it maybe that dhclient sucks :)
[12:31:01] <rkdavis> ok another little tweak to my setup-wifi.sh script, fixed the WEP stuff now so that it writes the correct wpa_supplicant.conf for both hex and ascii keys

[20:03:55] <azend> :P

[20:29:01] <azend> ok I have 2 questions
[20:29:25] <azend> how do you get the battery level and other details
[20:29:43] <azend> and how do you get/set the screen brightness level
[20:29:51] <azend> or rather the backlight
[20:42:35] <azend> anyone know where you can get the power plugs for the zipit uber cheap?
[20:42:46] <azend> planning to make a usb charger
[21:07:39] <azend> so many questions :/
[21:08:47] <Marex> azend: that round connector should be available in any radio shack
[21:09:03] <Marex> azend: try /sys/class/{backlight,power}
[21:09:08] * Marex is BFU
[21:09:11] <azend> what about the source?
[21:09:20] <azend> there is no radioshack in canada
[21:10:10] <Marex> there's GME here
[21:10:22] <Marex> radioshack == place where they sell components
[21:11:08] <azend> do you know the technical name?
[21:11:22] <azend> maybe I can find it on monoprice or digikey
[21:11:48] <Marex> azend: dunno ... measure the dimensions and find something close
[21:12:15] <azend> kk I'll go to the source tomorrow or something
[21:12:16] <azend> ty
[21:12:43] <Marex> fsck yeah ... I have shell ... finally

[22:00:31] <azend> oh ok
[22:02:51] <azend> is the zipit fast enough to run a hacked version of skype?
[22:03:30] <azend> so that you only have audio and only in a minimalistic gui
[22:05:12] <g8787> there is active electronics in canada still. Way better than the source
[22:06:18] <g8787> not sure about your part though
[22:06:55] <g8787> *part of canda
[22:07:02] <g8787> *canada
[22:08:19] <jaldhar> speaking of electronics, what is that expansion port on the back for?
[22:08:50] <Marex> azend: use some command line sip client instead
[22:09:12] <Marex> azend: pxa270 has iwmmxt which you can use to implement faster codecs
[22:10:26] <Marex> hm ... V_MEM domain is ok ...
[22:10:40] <g8787> azend: check this link for an in depth discussion of the expansion connector http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=25&p=4&m=424152
[22:10:49] * Marex fears it might really be the nand that's screwed
[22:11:14] <Marex> jaldhar: PXAQCI, PXAUDC
[22:12:52] <rkdavis> anyone know of any decent fonts in psf format?
[22:13:03] <rkdavis> i've got a few but the character sets suck
[22:24:43] *** g8787 has quit IRC
[22:58:25] <azend> hello
[22:58:48] <azend> I'm using sidetrack and I need to figure out what starts everything on boot
[22:59:10] <azend> because I need to change some wifi things
[23:03:02] <azend> sidetrack is based off of rootnexus and aliosa images I believe
[23:15:43] <Marex> try /etc ?
[23:19:27] <azend> could it be in motd?
[23:22:00] *** GPSFan has quit IRC
[23:24:27] <Marex> huh ?
[23:24:30] <Marex> try /etc/network
[23:25:53] *** g8787 has joined #zipit
[23:37:57] <azend> nope
[23:38:07] <azend> that handles network functions
[23:38:13] <azend> I'm looking for a boot script
[23:50:14] <absamide> I don't remember off hand, but maybe /etc/z2script?
