[00:24:02] <ssieb> mozzwald: it is unlocked. I can clear bits, but can't set them, which means it's not erasing the flash first.
[00:24:29] <ssieb> mozzwald: and there is no uboot env area. It uses the default environment, so I'm trying to change that

[00:39:58] <mozzwald> ssieb: sounds like you may have to compile the whole thing with your own env
[00:53:19] <ssieb> but I still wouldn't be able to write it to the flash!
[00:53:40] <ssieb> I've modified the env and then tried to write it back, but it won't erase

[13:24:25] <slug_> mozzwald: anarsoul: I have a question about the scaling_max_freq and how that relates to cpuinfo_max_freq... which one of these is set via command line boot args?
[13:52:21] *** Uhrheber has joined #zipit
[13:57:51] <mozzwald> slug_: I assume cpuinfo_max_freq is set by boot args. the governor probably determines scaling_max_freq
[13:59:06] <slug_> mozzwald: then it should be ok to leave the gmenu2x line that was questioned in place, yeah
[14:02:05] <mozzwald> yes and no :) I didn't realize before you could set an applications cpu speed in the gmenu2x launcher profile. but technically gmenu should only be setting the current freq. the maximum freq should be determined by the governor, not gmenu
[14:05:19] <mozzwald> in other words, if you set powersave governor, gmenu could override that by setting a higher max and current freq
[14:06:04] <slug_> it may also have ended up that way to ensure the freq the link is setting is not greater than scaling_max_freq
[14:08:04] <mozzwald> if you try to set a speed higher than scaling_max_freq, it wont work. it'll stay at what it's currently set to so really, gmenu should not need to set max freq
[14:09:24] <mozzwald> gmenu may try to set speed to 1ghz, but it wont work since kernel knows scaling_max_freq
[14:09:52] <mozzwald> this is all my opinion though :)
[14:10:10] <slug_> if I set a link's CPU to 416, (i.e. gmu), that's what I want to happen, isn't it?
[14:11:50] <mozzwald> well, you would want it to run at 416, but if you have set the governor to powersave then max feq would be 208 (i think) so the governor should be in charge, not gmenu and cpu should go no higher than 208
[14:12:37] <mozzwald> but again, that's just my opinion .. or at least makes sense to me
[14:13:35] <mozzwald> i really don't think it matters ultimately
[14:18:41] * flyback- gooes to sleep off his sleeping pill he accidentely took instead of his thyroid med, bbl
[14:19:20] <slug_> im' not even sure what my governor is set to, if the governor's working correctly then the link cpu setting should be ignored, eh?, otherwise it needs to do what's asked and set the cpu
[14:20:00] <slug_> is the governor working again?
[14:22:25] <mozzwald> gover is probably set to userspace
[14:22:32] <mozzwald> *governor
[14:23:23] <mozzwald> ondemand would be ideal, but it causes zipit to be unstable
[14:28:07] <slug_> userspace is just whatever it gets set to right? no variance whatsoever
[14:28:15] *** JMichaelX has joined #zipit
[14:29:18] <mozzwald> userspace governor allows you to set the speed and it stays til you change it. I just think maximum speed should be decided by kernel. Before i knew that gmenu launchers could set cpu speed I was trying to use my cpu script and it wouldn't work because gmenu set max_freq to whatever speed the program ran at
[14:30:15] <mozzwald> so if program ran at 312 I couldn't set speed to 416 without first changing scaling_max_freq
[14:35:30] <slug_> and I think that's why gmenu is doing what it does... to ensure the setting is made
[14:40:41] <slug_> I remember now... that's why I added it, because gmu was being asked to launch at 416 and it wasn't happening :)
[14:43:07] <mozzwald> would it make more sense to set scaling_max_freq to whatever cpuinfo_max_freq is?
[14:45:38] <slug_> yeah, that would've been a better hack
[14:46:44] <slug_> I'm adding hotkeys for wifi-connect (c) , bash prompt (b) , and ipaddress (a), any other hotkeys?
[14:47:14] <mozzwald> eject?
[14:48:07] <slug_> eject (e) is a good one
[14:49:09] <slug_> maybe the usbmode menu attached to (u)
[14:52:40] <slug_> the power button was upside down, in ebindkeys it was reporting a press on release, and release on press, I think they do that sometimes to help debounce the switch, but not for sure. anyway I found the setting in the kernel to make it report correctly
[14:53:27] <slug_> and then I put a timer on the press, if it's not released in 3-4 secs the poweroff sequence begins
[14:55:53] <mozzwald> nice find
[14:57:31] <mozzwald> have you tried netsurf yet?
[15:02:25] <slug_> no, I think i tried to build it, but it failed, it tried it awhile ago on z2lite or something like that
[15:04:04] <slug_> web on the zipit isn't very fun
[15:05:33] <mozzwald> no, it's not but netsurf looks pretty good. can't seem to get ssl working though
[15:06:25] <slug_> it wont compile, or you can't connect to a site?
[15:06:41] <mozzwald> can't connect to a site
[15:07:06] <mozzwald> compiles fines here, but I'm using the one from projectgus' repo
[15:08:01] <slug_> I assume the ssl configure option is selected and openssl built too
[15:09:24] <slug_> some of these packages use directfb or sdl for the transport too, so if they aren't built with the right options then...
[15:10:42] <mozzwald> as far as I can tell it's being built with openssl
[15:14:41] <slug_> you might try another package and verify that ssl is working on the zipit in general

[22:23:34] <walrus45> howdy guys.
[22:27:18] <walrus45> i am new to the zipit world, but i have been perusing many of your blogs and webpages on zipit mods and hacks, but i notice most of them have not been updated in the past year or so. since i recognize many of the usersnames i assume zipit development has not come to a complete standstill?
