[0:09] <vorner> Hello. I asked yesterday but didn't really get an answer, is here someone who tried to draw onto the touchbook with a stylus? How accurate is the touchscreen? (mine didn't yet come) Thanks.

[1:19] <Corsac> (and the following two)
[1:25] <vorner> Corsac: is it possible to draw a line and then continue from one of the points or does the pointer usually get fiw pixels away from the stylus (if stylus is used instead of finger)?
[1:37] <Meizirkki> Corsac, Sts said you have ran omap-pm on the TB
[1:38] <Meizirkki> did it work ok ?
[1:38] <Meizirkki> how's the batterylife ?
[1:40] <Corsac> vorner: didn't try with stylus
[1:40] <Corsac> Meizirkki: yes I did, but wasn't really able to compare battery life
[1:40] <Corsac> Meizirkki: I've installed 2009.12a now, so -pm is gone, but I built another one to test
[1:40] <Corsac> I'm just waiting to get my adaptor back :)
[1:41] <Corsac> and with 2009.11a it worked ok but had rotations problems
[1:41] <Corsac> don't know if it's fixed now
[1:42] <Meizirkki> Corsac, could you upload uImage (and sources?) somewhere for others to play with ? :)
[1:42] <Corsac> Meizirkki: sources are directly the OE ones
[1:43] <Corsac> and yeah, I'll upload uImage when I'll be on the box I've built them on
[1:43] <Corsac> (but basically I just bitbake'd it)

[4:54] <_ant_> Hello
[4:54] <_ant_> I'm interested in ordering a TouchBook, but at first I'd like to know a current state of its development:
[4:54] <_ant_> 1) are there any hardware bugs?
[4:54] <_ant_> 2) can I use it as a usual netbook after installation of Debian (while AI OS is still in beta)? What about performance? E.g. can I browse Flash-enabled web sites without lags? Is Firefox usable?
[4:56] <leinir> No serious hardware bugs i'm aware of
[4:57] <leinir> And you can use it as a netbook with Ubuntu by simply booting into it (the one you'd get ought to have it installed by default)
[4:57] <martinh> and also, no real flash yet.
[4:58] <_ant_> :(
[4:58] <martinh> as it's not intel based and adobe hasn't released an ARM port yet.
[4:58] <_ant_> What about Gnash and SwfDec?
[4:59] <martinh> other than that, I use it as a capable netbook with AI OS.
[4:59] <leinir> i believe it uses SwfDec by default, not entirely sure though :)
[4:59] <martinh> it's got facilities for viewing hulu and I think other videos.
[5:00] <_ant_> hmm, it is great
[5:10] <_ant_> There is a 256MB of flash memory onboard. For what purpose is it used?
[5:20] <mjr> I've not watched closely but I seem to have a memory of it not being used currently much at all except for the bootloader
[5:20] <mjr> may be wrong, but seems reasonable to me given that one's gonna use a largish sd card with it anyway
[5:25] * vorner (n=vorner@tarantula.kolej.mff.cuni.cz) has joined #touchbook
[5:33] <leinir> everything's read off of the SD card :)
[5:34] <mjr> the internal nand is probably there mostly 'cause it's chip-integrated or something
[5:34] <mjr> of course, if you want, put a jffs2 or something there...

[11:22] <_ant_> There is a Quake2 package in the AI OS feed. Does someone tried it? Is it playable? :)
[11:23] <leinir> it's installed by default i believe :)
[11:23] <gregoiregentil> I managed to make it work a long time
[11:23] <gregoiregentil> but I had to import from a CD-ROM (or a torrent) the resources
[11:23] <gregoiregentil> I haven't tried recently
[11:34] <martinh> did it run well enough?
[11:34] <martinh> because, I think I still have the original quake 2 cds. :->
[11:34] <gregoiregentil> it was not too bad but I did it a long time ago
[11:34] <gregoiregentil> if you want to try and post what needs to be done on the wiki, that would be extremely useful
[11:35] <gregoiregentil> I can also improve the images if there is anything to do
[11:36] <martinh> I can probably play round with things a bit next week.

[13:32] <gregoiregentil> fbset can be used, take a look at the ai-daemon start-up script
[13:32] <gregoiregentil> or you can do at u-boot but it's much more complex
[13:33] <gregoiregentil> I have done some tests in 24 bit a long time ago

[16:06] <gregoiregentil> which is a small update compared to 2009-12.a.
[16:06] <viridior> gregoiregentil: thanks, works
[16:06] <gregoiregentil> As it's the same story (you need to reformat), you may want to wait for the next big update which will be 2010-01.b, scheduled within two weeks
[16:07] <viridior> gregoiregentil: any issues with me providing you a Gentoo squashfs once I make one?
[16:07] <gregoiregentil> No. Quite the opposite...
[16:07] <gregoiregentil> I would love to see it
[16:08] <gregoiregentil> My recommendation is to do what I'm trying to do on Ubuntu
[16:08] <gregoiregentil> meaning basic distro + three or four customizations imported from the OE-based AI OS, i.e.
[16:08] <viridior> great, we are just about finished with streamlining our production, once we are done our build process for new images will be similar to OE/Angstrom
[16:08] <gregoiregentil> rotation of screen, ai-daemon, optimized mplayer
[16:08] <gregoiregentil> Very cool. I would love to see that
[16:09] <viridior> gregoiregentil: do you keep the AI-specific utils in tarball format (so I can make .ebuild vice using .bb)?
[16:10] <gregoiregentil> no. but I had a few requests and when doing Ubuntu, I wanted to do deb for those three/four components
[16:10] <viridior> I would prefer to include all of your utils so there isn't much difference between end-user utility
[16:10] <gregoiregentil> so I will probably set up a separate git just for those AI-specified stuff
[16:10] <viridior> ok
[16:10] <gregoiregentil> On the todo list. (not at the very top, but towards the top!)
[16:11] <viridior> that would work great, our git is located here: http://gitorious.org/neuvoo/ and I'll make sure to let you know once we have your utils included in case you want to participate
[16:11] <viridior> hehe, your utils might end up being using across gentoo-embedded :)

[18:30] <gregoiregentil> and see if you get the same error
[18:31] <bofh__> attempting to upgrade from default 2009-12.a to 2010-01.a. However, when I run ./reinstall.sh, it states that wget: "can't open /tmp/ai_1/uImage": "no such file or directory". do I ignore and reboot anyway? Or did something go wrong on retrieval? thanks.
[18:32] <viridior> gregoiregentil: i seem to be locked up on the red AI screen with the progress bar stuck at 0%

[18:36] <viridior> thanks for the help
[18:37] <bofh__> I manually created dir /tmp/ai_1/ and now it is downloading. a little bug in the reinstall script? or something wrong with the default 2009-12.a system setup (default from receiving it just after xmas?
[18:40] <gregoiregentil> yes, let me take a look at the script
[18:41] <gregoiregentil> it's still the same buggy script. strange. I thought that I have updated it
[18:41] <gregoiregentil> one second
[18:41] <bofh__> the script says mkdir -p /tmp/mnt1, but the wget says /tmp/ai_1
[18:42] <gregoiregentil> yup
[18:42] <gregoiregentil> but there is another error in the script
[18:42] <gregoiregentil> let me understand why it's not the right version
[18:43] <bofh__> ok

[18:49] <gregoiregentil> I don't know why it's so long to uplaod a 2kB script!...
[18:49] <bofh__> server under load?
[18:49] <gregoiregentil> the right script is in the 2009-12.a folder if you want to
[18:50] <gregoiregentil> http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/release/2009-12.a/reinstall.sh
[18:50] <bofh__> ok. will grab that then. thanks!
[18:51] <bofh__> downloading now, definitely fixed the error thus far. thanks gregoiregentil
[18:52] <gregoiregentil> yup. Please keep me posted after you reboot if the installation is successful
[18:52] <bofh__> you bet
[18:52] <bofh__> definitely wish to help out where I can. I'm too rusty for C work, but shell scripts and general debugging no problem. ;-)
[18:53] <gregoiregentil> cool. Thanks for the feed-back
[18:53] <bofh__> yvw
[18:54] <bofh__> after going through the "on system" upgrade. I will also try out doing it from a separate linux box to my larger 16GB sd, and see if any issues there.
[18:55] <bofh__> so, the reboot process will not support WPA if I am reading that message correctly. Is that correct?

[19:51] <bofh__> gregoiregentil, It is looping on me attempting to connect to WEP access point. I enter the SSID (it detected it earlier, but then it looped to this: "Configuring internet connection"
[19:51] <bofh__> Detected ra0, "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down".
[19:51] <bofh__> Please type the essid you want to connect to, 'rescan', or'abort'
[19:51] <bofh__> ). I then re-entered SSID and WEP key. it waited about 30 seconds, then looped back to the same screen. Tried this 4 times. Do I need to turn off WEP temporarily?
[19:51] <gregoiregentil> No. but the message "Detected ra0, "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down"
[19:51] <gregoiregentil> is not good at all
[19:52] <gregoiregentil> not sure why
[19:53] <bofh__> indeed. It scanned the first time and found both the WEP and WPA networks (surprising it found the WPA since it's broadcast is off, and the OS didn't find it before). I entered the WEP ssid, and then the WEP key. it took 30 seconds, then bunch of text filled the screen too fast to make out, and then it came to that menu about the device down.
[19:53] <bofh__> Shuold I try a new reboot? something else?
[19:54] <gregoiregentil> yes. try to reboot
[19:54] <bofh__> ok. to just power it down and power it on then?
[19:54] <gregoiregentil> yes
[19:55] <gregoiregentil> It's working here. The first time, after entering your WEP key, take a look at the message. do you get "Connecting to ESSID" and the registering device??
[19:56] <bofh__> I did the first time yes, then about 30-45 seconds later is when it scrolled the text past, and went to the network down menu.
[19:56] <bofh__> I'm on 104 bit (128) key. any significance there?
[19:57] <bofh__> connecting to wsNET04.... Reistering Device....
[19:57] <bofh__> ah. came up now to "Reinstallint ght Touch Book menu.
[19:57] <bofh__> Maybe I had a typo in the key the first time? And it didn't recover cleanly when it re-prompted?
[19:57] <bofh__> Before I hit any key to reinstall. Should I try it again, but with the key wrong, to see if that replicates the issue?
[20:00] <gregoiregentil> as you want
[20:00] <gregoiregentil> you can go ahead
[20:01] <bofh__> So, Tried it again (power off, power on, etc.).
[20:01] <bofh__> This time I intentionally entered the wrong key.
[20:01] <bofh__> Sure enough, that brought up the network down menu.
[20:01] <gregoiregentil> even with a typo in the key, it should have worked...
[20:01] <gregoiregentil> ouahh. strange.
[20:01] <gregoiregentil> let me try
[20:01] <bofh__> So it is not handling a user error cleanly when it comes back around.
[20:01] <bofh__> rescan won't work either.
[20:01] <bofh__> k
[20:04] <bofh__> sure enough. restarted, and made sure key okay, and worked properly again. This is repeatable. at least on my system. ;-) This was shipped to me on December 22nd, just fyi.
[20:04] <bofh__> shall I proceed with the reinstall (press any key to start), or would you like me to perform any other tests before proceeding?
[20:08] <bofh__> gregoiregentil, ?
[20:17] <gregoiregentil> yes?

[22:59] <bofh__> gregoiregentil, just asking if you wanted me to run any other tests on that network setup bug before I hit "any key" to continue the reinstall.
[23:00] <gregoiregentil> no
[23:00] <gregoiregentil> I think that's all
[23:00] <bofh__> ok.
[23:00] <gregoiregentil> so you confirm that if key is wrong, it's not working the second time?
[23:00] <bofh__> correct. it won't enable the network, nor will the scan work. One has to power off, and start over if the key is wrong.

[23:17] <bofh__> is the server getting nailed? I'm getting a download rate of about 2 KB/s (this is from within the reinstall, it is in step 5/5 ai-os.squashfs. it was downloading fine for the other segments.
[23:18] <bofh__> server: build.alwaysinnovating.com (64.151.106.123:80)
[23:21] <gregoiregentil> I think that the server is a little bit overloade
[23:21] <gregoiregentil> d
[23:26] <bofh__> gregoiregentil, figured. any plans to implement either mirrors and/or p2p like bitorrent to spread out the load?
[23:27] <gregoiregentil> yes and no: ideally yes. but this would require some work
[23:28] <gregoiregentil> also install from device, hard to use p2p (and moreover, when download is finished, system reboots - so there won't be many seeds)
[23:28] <bofh__> well, if you get any formal plans, I have a few servers that already run rsync servers for some of my sites, and I'd be happy to help out with some mirroring at least.
[23:29] <gregoiregentil> mirroring would make sense
[23:29] <gregoiregentil> not sure how I would implement this in script
[23:29] <gregoiregentil> can I mirror/redirect from my server.
[23:29] <gregoiregentil> I guess that I would need to do something in the script?
[23:29] <bofh__> I think the python folks or the openbsd folks could help out a lot with that.
[23:30] <bofh__> also cpan folks.
[23:30] <bofh__> yes, something would need to be added in the script to check for the quickest/closest mirror(s), and have a fall back if a mirror times out to resume. cpan (perl), and others have been doing that for years. shouldn't be too difficult to replicate their approach.
[23:32] <gregoiregentil> the problem is that the initramfs should be very small (it's already too big) so I can't put perl
[23:32] <gregoiregentil> I would have to replicate some logic into bash
[23:35] <bofh__> understood
