none4now: if you boot the zipit, then close the lid while it loads, the lid state will be flipped |
| [01:45:02] |
<M25> |
I can pastebin it if you like |
| [01:45:13] |
<none4now> |
cool |
| [01:45:30] |
<none4now> |
i'm fighting with apt, i think apt-get upgrade was a mistake |
| [01:54:24] |
<M25> |
...it worked fine for me |
| [01:54:26] |
<M25> |
did you use aptitude? |
| [01:55:31] |
<none4now> |
nope |
| [01:55:57] |
<none4now> |
made it most the way till perl, then it would segfault.. lotsa free space.. |
| [01:56:41] |
<M25> |
OH! |
| [01:56:47] |
<M25> |
make a swap file |
| [01:56:52] |
<M25> |
btw |
| [01:57:15] |
<M25> |
if you segfault during an apt-get, you'll need to do a fix-broken-packages, or a dpkg --configure -a |
| [01:57:25] |
<M25> |
the segfault is due to running out of RAM |
| [01:58:21] |
<none4now> |
lookin at that, swap looks good so far |
| [02:00:09] |
<M25> |
how big did you make it? |
| [02:00:58] |
<none4now> |
hmm looks like it's only 30 megs but it isn't being touched realy.. I'll keep diggin, it's a partition, gets mounted.. |
| [02:04:53] |
<M25> |
run top |
| [02:05:07] |
<M25> |
if it shows up there, it's working, I made mine 64MB |
| [02:05:34] |
<none4now> |
yeh its good |
| [02:05:56] |
<none4now> |
I'm gonna want to mess with the partitions again anyway so maybe I'll come back to that.. |
| [02:06:33] |
<M25> |
honestly, what's his name was right, as long as all your programs are under half your physical RAM (oh no, dude, don't use a partition, use a swap file, that way the writes get write-spread by the SD card) it runs pretty fast |
| [02:07:06] |
<none4now> |
thought I had read that.. gotta switch that up then |
| [02:07:34] |
<none4now> |
ram I'm having a tough time with reducing |
| [02:07:40] |
<M25> |
honestly, I can multitask like 4 things at once, even with 100% full RAM, as long as they all stay under 16MB each |
| [02:07:57] |
<none4now> |
i turned off a lot in rccconf.. boot, using 25meg.. *shrug* |
| [02:07:59] |
<M25> |
I get to 90% usage after I run like 2 programs, it's ok, most of it's cache |
| [02:08:01] |
<M25> |
oh |
| [02:08:09] |
<M25> |
I use like 16 at boot |
| [02:08:10] |
<M25> |
that's odd |
| [02:08:17] |
<M25> |
use top, it's great for that sort of stuff |
| [02:08:20] |
<M25> |
you want the RES column |
| [02:08:26] |
<none4now> |
yeh nothing is sticking out |
| [02:08:34] |
<M25> |
good luck man, I gotta sleep |
| [02:08:40] |
<M25> |
have a final in 6.5 hours |
| [02:08:42] |
<none4now> |
k cool |
| [02:08:59] |

alright.. today I expanded my ext3 parition to fill my sd card, killed the swap partition made it a file.. got apt-get dist-upgrade to go |
| [21:51:07] |
<none4now> |
got rid of X.. |
| [21:51:20] |
<none4now> |
getting to be a nice little box |
| [21:54:02] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
no gui at all? |
| [21:54:42] |
<none4now> |
not right now.. couldn't really stand it (rootnexus), not usable compared to something like the stock firmware |
| [21:55:07] |
<none4now> |
i would like some kind of menu for common tasks but haven't looked into it yet |
| [21:55:08] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
planning on putting something else on it? |
| [21:55:21] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
what was that one ... |
| [21:55:40] |
<none4now> |
I love command line so its cool but typing isn't all that fun on it so.. ;) |
| [21:56:47] |
<none4now> |
how you got yours setup? |
| [22:06:24] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
just normal, I am lazy |
| [22:06:47] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
I was looking for that super light distro, no gui, menu based os, dos-like |
| [22:09:55] |
<none4now> |
oh.. so you get it then |
| [22:10:16] |
<none4now> |
what you using for menu? |
| [22:10:26] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
hotkeys |
| [22:10:39] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
menu was displayed (and customizable) |
| [22:11:28] |
<none4now> |
hm, it's called 'hotkeys' ? |
| [22:12:22] |
<DoorToDoorGeek> |
no, I can not remember the name |

can't find anything in the logs about console textmode font size, know if anyones tried smaller? |
| [23:01:33] |
<rkdavis> |
none4now: the font is compiled into the kernel use setfont to change it |
| [23:01:49] |
<rkdavis> |
there are some niceish ones that are smaller than the default |
| [23:01:59] |
<none4now> |
we really should be compiling all these answers |
| [23:02:01] |
<rkdavis> |
but if you get too small it becomes unreadable |
| [23:02:03] |
<none4now> |
the logs are ok but.. |
| [23:02:45] |
<none4now> |
rk: figured.. back in the day i remember there were alt modes likx 80x50, tried anything like that? |
| [23:03:04] |
<rkdavis> |
none4now: well changing fonts is a standard linux thing so not really something that is only for the zipit that needs documebnting |
| [23:03:26] |
<none4now> |
no thats true.. i woulda found the answer pretty quick |
| [23:03:30] |
<rkdavis> |
none4now: i have a nice font that gives 53x30 |
| [23:04:00] |
<rkdavis> |
but once you get to 80x30 it's almost unreadable without very good eyes and alot of magnification |
| [23:04:42] |
<rkdavis> |
http://japi.dddgames.com/~jpimble/zipit/ thos will give you arounf 70 to 80 columns |
| [23:04:52] |
<rkdavis> |
but they are really small i tells ya :) |
| [23:05:38] |
<rkdavis> |
i actually increase the font size i find LatArCyrHeb-16 is actually nice -- large enough to really read easily and not too large that line based stuff isn yukky |
| [23:05:49] |

anybody done compiling directly on the zipit? |
| [23:45:41] |
<mozzwald> |
or can anyone recommend something really easy to compile with little/no dependencies as a test? |
