viric | I'll backport the color fb fonts from 2.6.37 to 2.6.36... | 07:45 |
viric | because I can't boot 2.6.37 and I don't have a serial cable ready to see the error message well | 07:46 |
kyak | the main reason for kernel not booting (at least for me) was that the partition layout (hardcoded in kernel) was not correct | 08:13 |
viric | ahm | 08:14 |
viric | that changed for 37? | 08:14 |
viric | hm | 08:14 |
viric | that sounds like a good reason | 08:14 |
kyak | i don't know what is yours; ours is like this: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-xburst/source/tree/master/target/linux/xburst/patches-3.0/0023-qi_lb60-NAND-add-data-partition.patch | 08:15 |
viric | I keep the old one | 08:15 |
viric | argh, my backport to 2.6.36 fails... the font doesn't load | 08:16 |
viric | ah I wrote it bad | 08:16 |
viric | right | 08:18 |
viric | I'll skip the data-partition thing | 08:19 |
viric | kyak: thank you! | 08:19 |
kyak | does 37 boot now or you made it work for 36? | 08:20 |
viric | I build both :) | 08:21 |
viric | kyak: queued into ts :) | 08:21 |
kyak | heh :) | 08:21 |
viric | I've a slow computer | 08:23 |
viric | 760s per kernel build | 08:23 |
viric | 1 core | 08:23 |
kyak | oh, that's really slow - even for the small kernel with almost no modules | 08:24 |
viric | well, you saw it :) | 08:26 |
kyak | yeah, and i'm still amazed by the first (and the only) person i saw who was using tiling wm :) | 08:29 |
viric | really? | 08:29 |
viric | hmmm | 08:29 |
viric | at my office, two more people use it. And among my friends using gnu/linux, I think... 90% use tiling wm | 08:30 |
viric | users of 'aweesome', 'dwm', 'lars', 'stumpwm' and 'xmonad'. | 08:31 |
kyak | heh, ok :) | 08:31 |
viric | choose your favourite :) | 08:32 |
viric | I meant 'awesome', btw. | 08:32 |
kyak | i'm way too stuck with my old habits | 08:32 |
viric | lispers like stumpwm, haskelers like xmonad, old people like larswm, ... | 08:32 |
viric | I used windowmaker before switching | 08:33 |
kyak | i'm using openbox on my slower machine and gnome on faster one | 08:33 |
viric | I never used those | 08:34 |
viric | And for years I used 'rio' | 08:34 |
kyak | this one is even hard to google :) | 08:35 |
viric | it's part of plan9port | 08:35 |
viric | http://swtch.com/plan9port/ | 08:35 |
viric | the backport of 2.6.36 does not work, for what I tried. | 08:37 |
viric | and 2.6.37 lacks PERF_EVENTS! | 08:37 |
viric | grr | 08:38 |
viric | I spent a lot of time cross-building the 'perf' tool, to know that the nanonote kernel does not build with such PERF_EVENTS. maybe lars wants to take a look :) | 08:38 |
viric | lasrc | 08:38 |
viric | larsc | 08:38 |
kyak | viric: probably you could have a look at the same patch for 2.6.32, to see what's wrong with your port | 08:43 |
kyak | you can find it in release_2011-05-28 | 08:43 |
kyak | some file names have changed.. like drivers/char/vt.c -> drivers/tty/vt/vt.c | 08:44 |
viric | kyak: yes, that's the case of 2.6.36 | 09:00 |
viric | I tried the filename change, but that's not enough | 09:00 |
viric | the name change was between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 :) | 09:00 |
viric | # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1 | 09:01 |
viric | Erasing 512 Kibyte @ 400000 -- 100 % complete. | 09:02 |
viric | why it does not say erasing 4MiB? | 09:03 |
viric | kyak: how are your 30k rss posts per day? :) | 09:05 |
kyak | "From your 82 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 233 items, clicked 8 items, starred 0 items, and emailed 0 items." :) | 09:08 |
viric | and 'received' how much? | 09:08 |
kyak | it's around 2.5k per day | 09:09 |
kyak | as you can see, i filter out a lot :) | 09:09 |
viric | with what complex heuristics? ;) | 09:09 |
kyak | i have a trained eye :) | 09:10 |
viric | I imagined so. hehe | 09:10 |
kyak | if the name has changed from 2.6.36 to 2.6.37, perhaps you would have better luck porting the patch from 2.6.32? | 09:12 |
viric | where is that 2.6.32 patch? | 09:12 |
viric | isn't it removed from git' | 09:13 |
viric | ? | 09:13 |
kyak | of course not, it's in release_2011-05-28 branch | 09:13 |
viric | iirc, I did not use 2.6.32 for some reason | 09:13 |
viric | I can't remember | 09:14 |
kyak | probably it will even apply clean to 2.6.36, who knows :) | 09:17 |
viric | aha | 09:17 |
viric | we'll, 2.6.37 built again | 09:17 |
viric | let's see now | 09:18 |
viric | boots! | 09:18 |
viric | I've your font! | 09:19 |
viric | great! :D | 09:19 |
viric | what a big improvement | 09:19 |
kyak | it's good for certain applications.. not for those requiring colors | 09:21 |
viric | Ah | 09:21 |
viric | ouch. | 09:21 |
kyak | didn't i mention that before? :) | 09:22 |
viric | no ;) | 09:22 |
kyak | from my experience, it's good in almost all cases | 09:23 |
kyak | who cares if irssi or centerim is black and white | 09:23 |
kyak | ah, it also lacks bold :) | 09:23 |
viric | ugm | 09:24 |
viric | I see | 09:24 |
viric | why? :) | 09:24 |
kyak | http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Setfont2 | 09:24 |
kyak | it is explained in some details here | 09:24 |
viric | hm | 09:25 |
viric | it looks as if my consoles aren't unicode | 09:25 |
viric | lynx utf8 fails to show the nonascii glyphs | 09:26 |
kyak | beware that the font only contains ascii, cyrillic and some line drawing glyphs | 09:28 |
kyak | and you also need the trans file to map those glyphs correctly | 09:29 |
viric | cyrillic fails | 09:29 |
kyak | the font itself doesn't contain this information | 09:29 |
kyak | http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-packages/source/tree/master/ben-cyrillic/files/ben_ru_uni.trans | 09:30 |
viric | maybe I lack some kernel thing? | 09:30 |
kyak | did you do things similar to http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/openwrt-packages/source/tree/master/ben-cyrillic/files/russian.sh ? | 09:31 |
viric | almost | 09:31 |
viric | only setfont2 ;) | 09:31 |
kyak | it's not enough | 09:31 |
viric | aha! loadunimap did it | 09:32 |
viric | :;Q2> | 09:32 |
viric | Now... we need more glyphs :) | 09:32 |
kyak | so as i said, this .trans information is usually in the font itself | 09:32 |
kyak | but not in this case | 09:32 |
kyak | yes, we need more glyphs!! | 09:33 |
kyak | like umlauts etc | 09:33 |
viric | can't we use a script to generate those from an X iso16464 font? | 09:33 |
viric | 10464 | 09:33 |
viric | whatever | 09:33 |
kyak | no, unfortunately, it's a manual work | 09:33 |
viric | hm | 09:33 |
viric | I can't believe | 09:34 |
viric | why? | 09:34 |
kyak | http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/setfont2/source/tree/master/ | 09:34 |
kyak | you use tools/un-fuzzy.py to create pnm fonts from png files | 09:35 |
kyak | and you create png files (like http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/setfont2/source/tree/master/fonts/pre-6x10-font.png) manually | 09:35 |
kyak | with GIMP, for example | 09:35 |
viric | why manually? | 09:36 |
viric | this has double horizontal resolution? | 09:37 |
kyak | i have a discussion with neil, the author of setfont2; i can forward it to you | 09:37 |
viric | yes, please include me | 09:37 |
kyak | if you give me your mail | 09:37 |
kyak | double horizontal resolution - that's right, the glyphs in png file are like that.. they become "normal" in pnm file | 09:39 |
viric | kyak: I'm closer to the fbterm patch... | 11:16 |
whitequark | don't forget ยป | 12:39 |
viric | :) | 12:40 |
viric | what about 'caneta'? | 14:10 |
whitequark | caneta? | 14:23 |
whitequark | (offtopic: do you, or anyone, possibly know why writing "sepErator" is quite a common error?) | 14:23 |
viric | hm | 14:23 |
viric | sorry. | 14:24 |
viric | whitequark: I can't recall seeing that error even once | 14:24 |
viric | caneda. sorry. :) | 14:24 |
viric | Brazilians, sorry for the confusion :) | 14:24 |
viric | whitequark: caneda.sf.net | 14:24 |
whitequark | viric: looks very incomplete | 14:29 |
whitequark | and, err | 14:29 |
whitequark | chip layout editing? | 14:29 |
whitequark | I don't know not only anyone who'd be editing chip layout by hand | 14:29 |
whitequark | but I don't ever know a blog of anyone doing such things | 14:30 |
whitequark | given that there is a blog about everything on the net... | 14:30 |
viric | someone here was writing it, iirc | 14:35 |
whitequark | can anyone answer a few questions about m1 firmware build process? | 14:36 |
wolfspraul | whitequark: you might better ask in #milkymist | 14:40 |
wolfspraul | if you try to reduce channels, then ask here... | 14:40 |
whitequark | uh | 14:41 |
whitequark | yes | 14:41 |
viric | I'm trying fbida | 15:04 |
viric | ah! I think it scales with floating point | 15:05 |
viric | that's why it's super slow scaling | 15:05 |
kyak | viric: any screenshots to compare fbterm with/without patch? | 15:48 |
kristianpaul | fbterm was always ugly before ;) | 15:52 |
kyak | depends on font and font size | 15:53 |
kyak | but basically, all straight lines are ugly on Ben | 15:53 |
qwebirc15093 | hi | 15:54 |
qwebirc15093 | anybody knows ho to edit "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" ? | 15:55 |
kristianpaul | echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 15:56 |
kyak | :) | 15:58 |
qwebirc15093 | yes yes, but i had to edit it manualy and copy the edited file from the terminal, using echo doens't let me | 15:58 |
qwebirc15093 | with the last firmware image, it isn't neccesary to edit NN's routing table manually? (i've followed every sigle step, but doesn't connect to internet) | 16:03 |
viric | hm | 16:04 |
viric | kyak: how could I take screenshots? | 16:04 |
viric | hm | 16:05 |
viric | with a photo camera... | 16:05 |
qwebirc15093 | there's a program, but only works for console, i think | 16:06 |
viric | well, but that won't help :) | 16:06 |
viric | I'm preparing screenshots | 16:08 |
viric | kristianpaul: those who are happy without utf-8, they can go without fbterm | 16:11 |
qwebirc15093 | how can i disble dhcp on usb0 ? | 16:12 |
kristianpaul | qwebirc15093: what's your linux distro? | 16:15 |
qwebirc15093 | ubuntu 10.10 | 16:15 |
viric | kyak: I took pictures... the camera does not take well the detail | 16:16 |
kristianpaul | try in /etc/network/interfaces to add a line for usb0 | 16:16 |
kristianpaul | perhaps and auto is okay | 16:17 |
kristianpaul | so this way the network manager should not try to do automatically things around it | 16:17 |
qwebirc15093 | i remember that on a page i found a interfaces file | 16:17 |
kristianpaul | at least we start to ship a built-in dhcp server for next release to make easiersetup netowrking..? | 16:18 |
viric | kyak: screenshots sent to the list. | 16:21 |
kristianpaul | a bit less blurry it seems | 16:30 |
qwebirc15093 | this in uncredible | 16:38 |
qwebirc15093 | i follow every step on the wiki tutorial, and i can make ping from the NN to the pc and vice versa, but can't get access to the net :S | 16:39 |
wpwrak | maybe you need to set up NAT ? | 17:05 |
qwebirc15093 | i don't know, i've followed every step on the tutorial of the wiki | 17:15 |
wpwrak | if eth0 is your interface to the outside world, the command would be something along the lines of /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE | 17:20 |
qwebirc15093 | yes, i put that also | 17:24 |
qwebirc15093 | but nothing, doesn't ping to google | 17:26 |
kristianpaul | qwebirc15093: your get internet trought wi-fi or.... ? | 17:27 |
qwebirc15093 | oh, wifi XDD | 17:30 |
qwebirc15093 | what a fail XDD | 17:30 |
qwebirc15093 | other question, the key with the "Qi" Logo, has any use? | 17:41 |
kyak | viric: looks great! | 17:42 |
kyak | the patch is definitely worth it | 17:42 |
kyak | btw, you can use fbgrab to capture screen | 17:42 |
kyak | though its captures look weird with setfont2 (lines not straight) | 17:43 |
kyak | i guess fbgrab needs to be patched for bgr-whatever as well :) | 17:43 |
kyak | viric: what is the font you are using with fbterm? | 17:44 |
kyak | seems better than unifont | 17:44 |
qwebirc15093 | is there a mplayer frontend? | 18:20 |
larsc | hmpf. you talk too much. lastlog doesn't even contain msg from last night | 18:30 |
larsc | ;) | 18:30 |
kyak | yeah, let's beat ML once and for all! :) | 18:36 |
qi-bot | [commit] kyak: config.full_system: enable swap-utils (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/0e220dd | 19:30 |
viric | kyak: hmmm freesomething | 20:33 |
viric | kyak: 'freefont' | 20:33 |
viric | iirc | 20:33 |
viric | ah no | 20:33 |
viric | it's the Micros~1 Arial Unicode :) | 20:34 |
viric | size 10 | 20:34 |
viric | larsc: I use lots of short sentences, for what I could write in a simple longer sentence. | 20:35 |
larsc | viric: were you able to solve your problems? | 20:37 |
qi-bot | [commit] kyak: fbterm: incorporate viric's patch for Ben LCD (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/8389ba0 | 20:39 |
kyak | viric: thanks | 20:39 |
kyak | it's using Dejavu Sans Mono by default here | 20:39 |
viric | larsc: yes, 2.6.37 boots fine. BUT | 20:42 |
viric | I tried suspend, and it hanged with the screen on. | 20:42 |
viric | I think it worked in 2.6.36 | 20:42 |
kyak | http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/kyak/tmp/fbterm-patch.png | 20:42 |
kyak | http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/kyak/tmp/fbterm-orig.png | 20:42 |
kyak | you see how fbgrab plays this trick :) | 20:42 |
viric | well, the effect on screen is similar to what you get in a usual lcd from 'patch' to 'orig'. :) | 20:43 |
kyak | yep, similar in reverse :) | 20:43 |
viric | I did not look hard for fonts | 20:44 |
viric | I don't know much about that. | 20:45 |
kyak | me too. In fact, when i tryed changing some fonts that ship by default (with anything) i only made it worse :) | 20:45 |
kyak | i use terminus for console on my laptop (it is also available on Ben). It is a usual setfont font, and it's very popular in Russia (it looks nice, too) | 20:47 |
viric | I'm more classic | 20:49 |
viric | I use -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 | 20:49 |
viric | for xterm | 20:50 |
viric | I don't touch what is in console | 20:50 |
kyak | -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 in my urxvt :) | 20:52 |
viric | another classic :) | 21:16 |
