FINALLY I got it - the power supply was faulty, and was destroying one disk after another!
<wpwrak>
alas, i'm still getting errors. so it seems to be something else. i'm not even entirely sure it's hardware. i'm getting an error about every 30 seconds.
<wolfspraul>
it took me a week and several thousand USD in destroyed disk drives until I had it narrowed down to that 20 USD power supply
<wolfspraul>
could be my stupidity/slowness, or just totally thrown off by such a 'out of sight' component failing in a nasty way
<wolfspraul>
anyway, fun with computers...
<rafa>
wpwrak you are faster.. I just read your sms :)
<wolfspraul>
Takeshi is definitely maintaining this regularly, unfortunately his English is not very good so he cannot communicate his big picture thinking/direction/goals that well
<rafa>
wolfspraul: nice and ugly RAID story.. .. raid just delay the death
<wolfspraul>
but he is regularly up-levelling (2.6.36+ booting on Milkymist One now), and confirmed to me that he is committed to this for the long run. So it sounds good, and the log he posts there is great to see...
<wpwrak>
(mm1 kernel) great !!!
<wolfspraul>
rafa: RAID made it very expensive!
<wolfspraul>
that was the most expensive power supply in my life
<rafa>
yeah.. I can imagine :(
<wolfspraul>
my lesson - if you operate a large disk array, make sure power is stable and power supply problems are out of the question. some controllers/disks are not very robust when there are subtle power problems.
<wpwrak>
grmbl. the problems continue :-( ls ~ -> Input/output error
<wpwrak>
let's see if it's some weird software problem i caught with a recent mega-update, and switching to the latest ubuntu kernel helps ...
<B_Lizzard>
Perfect calibration is impossible, so no.
<B_Lizzard>
I suspect some batteries might go over 100%
<B_Lizzard>
Knockoffs etc
<B_Lizzard>
As I was saying,
<nitin_gupta>
but inmy case it is not going above 84 or 86
<nitin_gupta>
also NN is connected to USB port but status is "Not charging"
<zear>
ahhfhaidhfi, sorry, i was away.
<zear>
if it doesn't want to turn on with the AC adapter even if the battery is removed, sometihng must be wrong either with your adapter, or the laptop itself
<B_Lizzard>
I'd like to add "quiet" to the kernel cmdline, I understand u-boot handles that.
<B_Lizzard>
How do I change the cmdline?
<B_Lizzard>
Do I need to access the u-boot command line>
<B_Lizzard>
?
<B_Lizzard>
Hmmm, 2.6.36 doesn't set up the usb0 virtual network adaptor
<B_Lizzard>
Even though CONFIG_USB_ETH is set.
<kristoffer>
Btw, Ive noticed that alot of you people are still using "a" in your sentences. Please be reminded that they are not patented by me. I can recommend moving over to "A" or "â". Licenses for the proper "a" can of course be purchased by individuals or larger projects.
<rafa>
kristoffer: thAt is good to know sir, thAnks AgAin
<rafa>
kristoffer: aaaaaaaaaaahh.. I just purchaaaaaaased
<kristoffer>
Im afraid that you have filled your quota for this year, do you wish to do another purchase?
<rafa>
is "e" expensier?
<B_Lizzard>
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<qbject>
rafa: my organization owns exclusive rights to "e". As the most-common letter in many Western languages we find that enforcement of peacemeal licences is a waste of everyone's time. Instead we offer scaled site-licenses starting at US$98,000. I'm sure you'll agree that this is a more economical option for you.
<kristoffer>
qbject, Ill trade you licenses for "qi-h(a)rdw(a)re" of I get one for "jlim(e)" and we can share the trial money for bringing rafa to justice.
<qbject>
kristoffer: Done. Fire up the orbital piracy obliterator.
<rafa>
qbject: ;-))
<qbject>
rafa: =D
<heberth>
hola a todos!! una pregunta; donde esta el link de la pagina de la siguiente vercion del nanonote?
<mth>
qbject: that's how you can force screen blanking
<qbject>
mth does that turn off the backlight?
<mth>
it should
<qbject>
sweet.
<qbject>
Now I just have to figure out how to bind that to F8.
<mth>
it will even shut down the LCD controller
<mth>
the JZ4740's LCD controller, that is
<qbject>
mth well, it works, but the screen pops right back on again without user input.
<mth>
I have no idea why that would happen, but maybe someone else does
<qbject>
I'll ask the list.
<qbject>
Thanks for the help.
<kristianpaul>

<kristianpaul>
rafa: ando mirando el cliente para sox
<kristianpaul>

<methril>
we need a bot that translate with google translator
<methril>

<kristianpaul>
mas facil aprendo sdl y se le hace una interfaz
<rafa>
kristianpaul: ;-))
<rafa>
methril: chinesse: I would like to learn.. China is a big country.. a lot of people.. maybe I should visit China some day as well.
<kristianpaul>
no si se si wolfspraul aprendio algo de español en colombia pero creo que no...
<methril>
in the computer world, is more natural speak english than spanish, we get so much words
<kristianpaul>
chinese cool language and writing indeed :)
<rafa>
kristianpaul: cuando estuvo en BA luego de colombia no me dijo ni hola!
<rafa>
:)
<kristianpaul>
jajaja
<kristianpaul>
:(
<methril>
jajaja
<rafa>
kristianpaul: he knows chinesse, german, english.. maybe a bit of french? ... and we just ask him a bit of spanish :)
<kristianpaul>
french?
<kristianpaul>
why he did said that before ;)
<kristianpaul>
didnt*
<kristianpaul>
buen comienzo para aprender español
<kristianpaul>
methril: not at all if you speak spanish
<methril>
the grammar is the most complicated i know (i could not said i know french)
<kristianpaul>
just memorice some words and verbs
<methril>
kristianpaul, brazilian portuguesse is easier
<kristianpaul>
yup
<methril>
i'm living in brazil, and i could speak with people ;)
<kristianpaul>
i think, may be i'm wrong you think spanish as in french,
<kristianpaul>
methril: your naitve langues is?
<methril>
kristianpaul, spanish
<methril>
kristianpaul, i'm from spain :)
<kristianpaul>
methril: ah why we'are talking in ENGLUSH """
<methril>
hehehehe
<methril>
no se
<kristianpaul>
ah bueno
<kristianpaul>
ya somos mas :)
<kristianpaul>
pregunta !
<kristianpaul>
como interpreto sharism en esñaol
<methril>
por eso rafa me puso entre los nicks de español
<methril>
jejeje
<kristianpaul>
español*
<kristianpaul>
si yo estaba confundido
<kristianpaul>
como respondio en ingles pues...
<methril>
por el resto del canal :)
<kristianpaul>
jeje
<kristianpaul>
si..
<methril>
yo traduciria sharism como comparticion o compartiendo
<kristianpaul>
la lucha eternea del -es en freenode ;)
<methril>
jejeje
<kristianpaul>
pero bueno si tiene que ver con compartir
<kristianpaul>
comparticion suena raro
<kristianpaul>
pero tiene mas sentido
<methril>
share + ism
<kristianpaul>
almenos no es como decir share y ya
<methril>
gentilicio de compartir o algo asi
<kristianpaul>
ajap
<kristianpaul>
no le gustan mucho los gentilicios
<kristianpaul>
pero si
<methril>
seguramente compartiendo suena mejor
<kristianpaul>
es como por ese lado
<methril>
jejeje
<kristianpaul>
pero eso como decir "to share"
<kristianpaul>
entoces se le cambia el sentido a la palabra
<methril>
podemos traduzirlo como el arte de compartir
<methril>
:)
<kristianpaul>
suena mejor
<kristianpaul>
methril: estas trabajando con el milkymist en brazil tambien?
<methril>
no mucho, estoy siguiendo el desarrollo, con la intencion de usar milkymist
<kristianpaul>
:)
<kristianpaul>
ah usar el VJ?
<xdpirate>
what's going on here, i thought brazillians spoke portuguese
<methril>
kristianpaul, ahora mismo no tengo ninguna FPGA, y ando bastante liado en el trabajo, pero esta en mente
<kristianpaul>
o el SoC?
<kristianpaul>
claro
<methril>
xdpirate, they do
<kristianpaul>
bueno qemu ayuda mucha
<kristianpaul>
mucho*
<kristianpaul>
yo tengo FPGA pero no con ram
<kristianpaul>
sirvr pero a medias.
<methril>
si, vi q tenias un Xilinx
<kristianpaul>
toca usar qemu para cosas como ulinux o rtems
<methril>
seguramente este fin de semana le dedique un tiempo a rtems
<methril>
pero no prometo nada (la vida familiar quita mucho tiempo) ;)
<kristianpaul>
hijos?
<kristianpaul>
ahh
<kristianpaul>
bueno si hay que disfrutar la familia
<methril>
xdpirate, i only live in brazil, but i'm not brazilian
<kristianpaul>
:)
<methril>
casi
<xdpirate>
ahh, I see :)
<methril>
xdpirate, do you speak portuguesse?
<kristianpaul>
xdpirate: o español? ;)
<methril>
hijastros
<xdpirate>
nope
<kristianpaul>
xdpirate: u from?
<xdpirate>
norway
<kristianpaul>
cool
<kristianpaul>
more people from there here at irc?
<kristianpaul>
pero si es cierto que la mayoria de personas en este canal entienden ingles rafa
<kristianpaul>
puede ser algo incomodo ver otro idioma
<kristianpaul>
asi cuando aparecen caracteres chinos en este canal una ves por mes...
<kristianpaul>
:|
<rafa>
methril: yo le dije a kristianpaul que sharism podria ser traducido como "libera tu mente" :D.. aunque sea un significado completamente distinto :D
<rafa>
methril: igual no se me ocurrio' a mi.. estabamos buscando algo de sharism en internet y salio' eso :P
<rafa>
o algo parecido
<kristianpaul>
es que libera tu mente es algo generico y re-usado..
<kristianpaul>
nose..
<methril>
seria mejor comparte tu idea
<methril>
:)
<rafa>
kristianpaul: si .. obvio
<methril>
rafa, kristianpaul aunque no me gustan las traducciones ;)
