tigertbesides, its quiet here today anyway00:00
timelessbecause then i have to teach dozens of irc clients my password00:00
sp3000harmless? ;)00:00

timelesstigert: ok, he'll vouch that i'm trustworthy if not harmless00:00
timelesswow00:00
tigertyeah00:01
tigertthe resolution forgives a lot of the suckyness of the app00:01
timelesshas he made complaints asking for improvements?00:01
* timeless needs to00:01
timelessheck, have you?00:01
tigertwho hasnt? the sketch app sucks and I wish it was open source so people could fix it00:01
timelessyou admitted you don't use it, but it's available00:02
sp3000like deeper undo and a pen with between tiny and not tiny enough? :)00:02
tigertI dont sketch with it00:02
tigertI use the tablet mostly for communication00:02
timelessi'd use it for communication, abut atm i can't :)00:02
timelessso here i am using my desktop instead :(00:02
timelessbtw, i saw the battery meter run backwards tonight00:02
partheh00:03
timelessit went from 1 bar red, to 3 bars green to 4 bars green00:03
timelessno charging00:03
* timeless blames the local weather00:03
sp3000dammit, can't blame dst this week00:03
timelessheh00:03
timelessthe user guide says the temp range should be 15-25C00:03
timelesswhich is problematic, i think it's -5 :)00:03
tigertcould be yeah00:05
tigertkeep it in the inside pocket :)00:05
tigertbatteries dont like freezing00:05
tigertanyway, time to sleep00:05
timelessyeah, so the user guide said00:05
timelesssp3000: so i upgraded the mmc again, i was tired of running out of space for cores w/ my 512mb mmc :)00:06
timelessit's now 1g :) and my phone has a 1g too, so i can swap if i run low :)00:06
sp3000heh00:06
timelesss/if/when/ ;-)00:06
timelesssp3000: anyway, if i do get usb ether working, i should be able to backup my device using scp, right?00:10
sp3000right00:10
timelessusb_unregister_client (deprecated):00:11
timelessalways good to see that :)00:11
*** skodde has quit IRC00:12
parttimeless: mounting the mmc when connected via usb isn't enough?00:12
timelessthe mmc is fresh, minus a dozen cores00:12
timelessi want to backup the system, system settings, my files00:12
timelessnote, backup crashes when i tap the backup button00:12
timelesswhich makes it um, ... unhelpful00:12
partI just re-flash the device if there are any problems00:14
timelessyeah, see, my goal is to get problems fixed00:15
partbut I don't keep any worthwhile data on it00:15
timelessif that includes terrorizing a dozen developers, i have time00:15
timelessi have 6months worth of settings on this device00:15
timelessfrom 5 or so countries00:15
partnice00:15
timelessi've worked very hard, paid lots of money and such to collect this much00:15
timelessand i will terrorize as many devs, and ui engineers until they get it right00:16
timelessand, i can :)00:16
parthave you got a sshd on the device?00:16
timelessyes00:16
timelessbut atm i don't have any network to attach to00:16
timelessi'm rewriting a usb kernel driver atm00:17
partusb networking and logging in as root should do the trick00:17
partrewriting?00:17
timelessit's not compatible w/ my kernel00:17
timelessthis is so much fun00:20
* timeless chases deprecated functions00:20
parthow about flashing a working kernel onto the device?00:21
timeless*after* i back it up00:21
timelessnot before00:21
timelessbtw, the kernel i'm hacking isn't linux00:21
timelessit's for the host00:21
partoh I thought you were hacking the device kernel00:22
timelessyeah, i figured that out :)00:22
timelessno, i'm a linux user, not a linux kernel hacker :)00:22
timelessi hack other kernels :)00:22
timelesssp3000, got time to follow 3 links?00:22
sp3000depends :)00:23
parthaven't got a system with a working usb stack?00:23
timelessworking usb, yes00:23
timelessworking usbether driver, no00:23
* sp3000 is waiting for edgy upgrade to be done downloading and ready to break the system00:24
timelessam i missing something, or is that an infinite loop?00:24
Robot101timeless: I thought you said you had a 1G MMC?00:25
timelessyes00:25
timelesshow would you use it to backup the device? :)00:25
timelessi don't understand how to use busybox tar00:25
Robot101timeless: cp -arx?00:25
partRobot101: it seems that that would be way too simple, a proper method has to include hacking a kernel, if not two :)00:26
timelesscp -arx / /media/mmc1/backup00:26
timeless?00:26
*** netmask has joined #maemo00:26
timelesspart: i really don't know how to use busybox, and it's not like it has man pages on the device :)00:26
* timeless waits for robot101 to confirm the command00:26
*** mlpug has quit IRC00:27
timelessbesides, kernel hacking is fun00:27
sp3000timeless: yeah it kinda looks like one... :)00:27
sp3000well, there's http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html#item_tar00:27
Robot101hm, there's no -x in busybox cp00:28
timelessok, well, when you can explain how to actually  *use* busybox to ddo what i want, let me know :)00:28
timelesswould scp -r work?00:28
timelessi know it's stupid, but...00:28
timelessyeah, scp is on my device :)00:28
* timeless chuckles00:28
timelessit's probably easier for me to use scp than busybox )00:29
timeless:)00:29
partright00:29
Robot101the point being that without a --one-file-system option00:29
Robot101you will try and copy /proc, /sys, etc00:29
Robot101and also /media/mmc100:30
Robot101into itself00:30
sp3000there is an -X00:30
sp3000but that's more work, sure00:30
timelessthat doesn't sound to good00:31
timelesswell00:31
timelessi should be able to do scp {root dir list} dest:/media/mmc1/backup00:32
*** kjk has joined #maemo00:32
timelessright? that should be "safe"00:32
Robot101you could just do ls /; cp -a /home /var /etc /the /stuff /thats /not /proc /sys /or /media /media/mmc1/backup00:32
Robot101:D00:32
Robot101though if you want to preserve perms you need to use tar, the MMC is a FAT fs00:32
* timeless grumbles00:33
timelessright00:33
* timeless resolves not to use an mmc like this00:33
timelessok, shall we go back to tar?00:33
timelessis there some way to actually /use/ tar?00:33
partheh00:33
timelessor better, would it be easier for me to download 'zip' to my mmc and run that?00:33
Robot101tar -cvzf /media/mmc1/backup.tar.gz /the /same /stuff /as /above00:34
timelesssorry, this should be "simple", i hope you'll agree w/ me00:34
timelessi don't think busybox tar supports that00:34
Robot101what does it say?00:34
timelessit wnats a file list00:34
partthere was that link to the busybox tar help earlier...00:34
timelessit won't approve of directories00:34
timelessyeah, i'm staring at it00:34
timelessi've also tried to use tar on the device before00:35
timelessi *know* that syntax doesn't work :)00:35
Robot101tar really can handle directories00:35
timelessgnu tar really can00:35
timelessthis isn't gnu tar00:35
Robot101so can busybox tar00:35

littlefaeHi all09:14
littlefaeI need a 'toolkit' for compilation of C apps for Maemo, that can operate on an OS X CLI. :) Any ideas where I might get the right toolchains?09:15
revwell09:16
revfunny you should ask, littlefae09:16
revi am in the same situation09:16
revshort answer: you can't09:16
revscratchbox requires an x86 linux machine, according to the website09:16
revbut, you can use some linux/x86 distro and a PC emulator. for free, there is Q (Qemu + OS X GUI), or for pay you could use VirtualPC09:17
littlefae"Bah09:17
revi know09:17
revit's annoying09:17
littlefaeThis thing is an ARM CPU, correct?09:17
revyeah09:17
littlefaeAre the lib files for it still in ASCII text format?09:18
revno clue09:18
revi was hoping someone would have a machine with accounts given to nokia 770 developers for this sort of thing ... they used to have that sort of thing for similar devices09:18
littlefaeI'll see if my GP2x toolchain will compile it09:18
revwell09:19
revit probably will compile something09:19
revbut it's not like a linux arm binary is univerally portable09:19
revwell, maybe if you are just compiling something that uses printf to say hello world, maybe that'll work09:19
revbut not likely anything with gtk09:19
littlefaeOh, that last part is fine09:20
littlefaeI need one specific console app, nothing more.09:20
revahh ok09:20
revwell, give it a whack then09:20
revbut there might be other library issues09:20
revit can't hurt to try though09:20
littlefaeI'd settle for a GCC that runs on the device, personally. :)09:21
littlefaeThis is going to be so many shades of hassle, you just know it.09:21
revyeah, that would be nice09:22
revisn't there a port of gcc to it though?09:22
littlefaeStill, if it works, I'll try and post it to the wiki for OSX users.09:22
revcool09:22
revi am doing development for the 770 on the 77009:22
revthough not in C09:22
littlefaeI really need to know what the actual model number on the CPU is, to be frank09:23
revit's a TI OMAP something09:23
revthat's all i got though09:23
*** philipl is now known as phil|sleep09:23
revbut google likely has the answer09:23
littlefaeOh good point. X)09:24
rev:)09:24
littlefaeI forget such things, when I need something09:24
revhehe09:24
revfair enough09:24
littlefaeGeeze, this is going badly09:30
littlefaeNah, was a good thought, but sadly this toolchain only makes .gpu/.gpe binaries, ie, custom for the ARM920T09:32
*** kjk has quit IRC09:37
littlefaeGuess I'll put out an APB for 'tinyfugue' for the Nokia 770.  Anyone able to compile it, please do so. :)  email me: little.fairy_at_btinternet.com09:38
