It's a script interpreter optimized for execution speed and low I/O load, for example to boot up small devices. It never was meant for interactive use 2010-05-24 07:54 I want to add Sox to my Nanonote, I've got the latest official image flashed onto the nn and I've been reading about the commands git and make menuconfig are these commands I run from the usbboot tool? 2010-05-24 08:51 hi andrewwwww 2010-05-24 08:53 hi xiangfu 2010-05-24 08:53 gbraad: hi 2010-05-24 08:53 will you be at the next meeting of BeijingLUG? 2010-05-24 08:53 is a friend of rejon (Jon) 2010-05-24 08:54 gbraad: not sure. 2010-05-24 08:54 would be cool if we could meet up. 2010-05-24 08:54 but else some other time is also ok. 2010-05-24 08:55 xiangfu: no prob. catch you some other time. will see wolfgang first then... 2010-05-24 08:55 gbraad: ok. 2010-05-24 08:56 btw, you show interest in Fedora? also noticed you in fedora-zh 2010-05-24 09:06 gbraad: no.

2010-05-24 14:25 .png 2010-05-24 14:25 sweeeet. 2010-05-24 14:25 and needs to be the same name as the binary 2010-05-24 14:25 that's easy enough. 2010-05-24 14:25 so if the binary is prboom, the icon needs to be named: prboom.png 2010-05-24 14:25 need to find a new microsd 2010-05-24 14:25 is there a graphical text editor yet? 2010-05-24 14:26 and the icons need to be 32x32 px 2010-05-24 14:26 nope 2010-05-24 14:27 dang. I've heard about a port of Dillo, how's that going? 2010-05-24 14:28 no idea 2010-05-24 14:28 though dillo is a web browser, isn't it 2010-05-24 14:28 yeah, but i had an idea 2010-05-24 14:28 what if we pulled a konquerer 2010-05-24 14:28 and made it into a file manager too? 2010-05-24 14:29 well, konqueror needs X11 2010-05-24 14:29 but it's also a kde thing, and kde runs on qt 2010-05-24 14:29 and qt can run on the framebuffer 2010-05-24 14:29 by "pull a konqueror" 2010-05-24 14:29 so i dunno, maybe it could be possible to run it on the nanonote 2010-05-24 14:29 i meant copy that behaviour 2010-05-24 14:29 ah 2010-05-24 14:30 i meant, why don't we make dillo into a file manager and browser? 2010-05-24 14:30 well, i think the way mc does it is simpler and faster 2010-05-24 14:30 besides, you'd need to have a mouse to use the way konqueror navigates 2010-05-24 14:30 true, but it's a bit tough to navigate 2010-05-24 14:31 dillo was meant for tiny devices 2010-05-24 14:31 and is meant to be used on things that may not have mice 2010-05-24 14:31 well, isn't dillo an X11 thing? 2010-05-24 14:32 yeah, but it's gtk, so it can be fb 2010-05-24 14:33 you see, i get people that want to get nanonotes when they see mine a lot 2010-05-24 14:33 it's lftk 2010-05-24 14:33 but i'm thinking, when they buy it they'll be pretty disappointed, since they don't know how to use ash 2010-05-24 14:33 dunno how much is that gtk related 2010-05-24 14:33 oh, it is? 2010-05-24 14:33 yep 2010-05-24 14:33 crap. 2010-05-24 14:33 well, maybe midori then 2010-05-24 14:34 at least that's why my package manager says: "Lean FLTK2-based web browser" 2010-05-24 14:34 anyway, have to go for a moment, brb 2010-05-24 14:34 ok 2010-05-24 14:34 there is a dillo package in the openwrt package feed. but i think it's broken right now. 2010-05-24 14:35 well, i guess we should switch to midori 2010-05-24 14:35 almost as light, but gtk based 2010-05-24 14:36 haha 2010-05-24 14:36 webkit is anything but lightweight 2010-05-24 14:36 you have a point sir. 2010-05-24 14:36 lighter than tracemonkey 2010-05-24 14:37 and gecko 2010-05-24 14:37 nebajoth: just last thing here you can see our first trys on control the arm with arduino http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbp292_arduino-brazo-robot-4-motores_tech http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xboya4_arduino-brazo-robot-2-motores_tech , very simple no pwm no position feedback just on/off and direction c u 2010-05-24 14:37 ooohhh 2010-05-24 14:38 well, what's a light browser? 2010-05-24 14:40 fennec? 2010-05-24 14:40 that still is firefox 2010-05-24 14:40 :O 2010-05-24 14:40 it's good, but i wouldn't call it light. 2010-05-24 14:41 links? 2010-05-24 14:42 ok ok 2010-05-24 14:42 I'm just trolling 2010-05-24 14:42 lol 2010-05-24 14:42 I'm no lover of gtk 2010-05-24 14:42 dillo is ugly 2010-05-24 14:42 well, me either, but it's an easy way to make graphics 2010-05-24 14:43 and both of the major organizations that originally pushed high file manager and browser integration 2010-05-24 14:43 (ie: KDE, Microsoft) 2010-05-24 14:43 have backed away from it 2010-05-24 14:43 true 2010-05-24 14:43 I think people have it functionally separated in terms of interaction 2010-05-24 14:43 THIS is a browser 2010-05-24 14:43 THIS is a file manager 2010-05-24 14:43 i suppose. 2010-05-24 14:43 tuxbrain_away: those look cool 2010-05-24 14:44 but i think it'd help save space 2010-05-24 14:44 as long as you have a good switcher I don't see the issue 2010-05-24 14:44 there can certainly be no desktop paradigm on the thing's shrunken screen :D 2010-05-24 14:44 lol true 2010-05-24 14:44 I think there's some promise to pyneo's approach 2010-05-24 14:44 but we could have an androidy one 2010-05-24 14:44 have you investigated their software? 2010-05-24 14:45 I think android definitely has the best interface so far 2010-05-24 14:45 but I'm not convinced its perfect 2010-05-24 14:45 i'm typing from AndroIRC as we speak 2010-05-24 14:45 it's not perfect 2010-05-24 14:45 haha sweet 2010-05-24 14:45 I don't have one 2010-05-24 14:45 now, it ain't perfect 2010-05-24 14:45 but my wife does 2010-05-24 14:45 I get a blackberry free for work 2010-05-24 14:45 so am cockblocked from getting an android 2010-05-24 14:46 but our approach certainly isn't perfect either 2010-05-24 14:46 ouch 2010-05-24 14:46 for reals 2010-05-24 14:46 i'm using the g1, so i'm stuck at 1.6 2010-05-24 14:46 I play with hers and I get super jealous 2010-05-24 14:46 upgrade, the new phones are worth it :D 2010-05-24 14:46 hahah MONE 2010-05-24 14:46 Y 2010-05-24 14:46 ok 2010-05-24 14:46 personally, I think the best future is a cube 2010-05-24 14:47 like what compiz allows on the desktop 2010-05-24 14:47 i will, tmobile is working with htc to make a slider with a snapdragon 2010-05-24 14:47 the qt demos show the unit is capable of that kind of animation 2010-05-24 14:47 true 2010-05-24 14:47 lets create the idea of a cube with only one face showing 2010-05-24 14:47 and use that to support switching 2010-05-24 14:47 but it'd eat processor power up 2010-05-24 14:47 between full-screen 2010-05-24 14:47 only during switching 2010-05-24 14:47 true 2010-05-24 14:48 well, still, we need a better menu 2010-05-24 14:48 probably 2010-05-24 14:48 though gmenu2x is a great place to start 2010-05-24 14:48 it has multiple desktops, and a good icon theme 2010-05-24 14:48 i like the look of it 2010-05-24 14:49 I haven't used it enough to comment 2010-05-24 14:49 but I'm glad to hear that 2010-05-24 14:49 been using it daily. it's not perfect 2010-05-24 14:49 but it really works for day to day 2010-05-24 14:50 but 2010-05-24 14:50 it is missing a few really important things 2010-05-24 14:50 what do you want to do with yours? 2010-05-24 14:50 1. a good file manager 2010-05-24 14:50 i'm not sure yet. 2010-05-24 14:50 midnight commander? 2010-05-24 14:50 I still use the shell as a file manager on a full ubuntu desktop 2010-05-24 14:51 so I'm probably a bad example 2010-05-24 14:51 midnight commander's fine 2010-05-24 14:51 right now though 2010-05-24 14:51 it's either using ash 2010-05-24 14:51 or the graphical one that quite frankly does not work 2010-05-24 14:52 annoyingly 2010-05-24 14:52 the music program 2010-05-24 14:52 gmu 2010-05-24 14:52 has a functional file manager 2010-05-24 14:52 just only works in gmu 2010-05-24 14:53 if we could move that into gmenu, and add a few features (copy, cut) 2010-05-24 14:53 it'd be fantastic 2010-05-24 14:54 so that's a bother 2010-05-24 14:55 is gmu any good? 2010-05-24 14:55 surprisingly so 2010-05-24 14:55 it seems to be stuck on shuffle 2010-05-24 14:55 but it works well 2010-05-24 14:56 it is stuck on shuffle? you can't change the playmode anymore? 2010-05-24 14:56 i probably can 2010-05-24 14:56 dunno how 2010-05-24 14:56 i threw a bunch of oggs on my sd, and just add the music folder on it to the playlist 2010-05-24 14:56 and away i go 2010-05-24 14:57 also was i the only one shocked at the levels the speaker can hit? 2010-05-24 14:58 i mean, i'm a big fan of nine inch nails, so i know loud 2010-05-24 14:58 you should be able to change the playmode by just pressing the R button 2010-05-24 14:58 ah.... 2010-05-24 14:58 but it is all explained in the README.txt 2010-05-24 14:58 that's what does it. 2010-05-24 14:58 i should read those some time. 2010-05-24 14:59 Xakh, turn the mic and speaker on at the same time 2010-05-24 14:59 ? 2010-05-24 14:59 you'll then see how LOUD that thing is :D 2010-05-24 14:59 haha 2010-05-24 14:59 :O 2010-05-24 14:59 I'm in class, and the only sd card i have is in my phone 2010-05-24 14:59 are you using the openwrt firmware? 2010-05-24 14:59 Xakh, better don't try it then :D 2010-05-24 15:00 yeah 2010-05-24 15:00 i like openwrt 2010-05-24 15:00 unless you want your whole school/uni to hear your nanonote :D 2010-05-24 15:00 haha 2010-05-24 15:00 i had a couple metalhead friends 2010-05-24 15:01 they thought it looked cool, but thought it was useless 2010-05-24 15:01 so i blasted them crooked vultures out the one speaker 2010-05-24 15:01 :D 2010-05-24 15:01 they were impressed. 2010-05-24 15:02 people really love the nano 2010-05-24 15:03 when i whip it out and play doom on it, then switch to music 2010-05-24 15:03 it impresses um 2010-05-24 15:03 Xakh, when you turn both speaker and mic on at the same time, this happens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_feedback 2010-05-24 15:03 it's really, really loud 2010-05-24 15:03 hahaha 2010-05-24 15:03 and i mean REALLY loud 2010-05-24 15:03 I want to run something like this 2010-05-24 15:03 http://nitrotracker.tobw.net/ 2010-05-24 15:03 aww, there's a scratch on the metal. 2010-05-24 15:05 dang it. 2010-05-24 15:05 this irc client messes up when i click links. 2010-05-24 15:07 hmm. you know there's a hack to make mini/microusb ports host ports. 2010-05-24 15:07 last place i saw it was for android devices 2010-05-24 15:08 so, let's assume i get it working. 2010-05-24 15:08 how hard would it be to configure wifi, from a usb dongle? 2010-05-24 15:09 or, if i got a usb ethernet card, would it work? 2010-05-24 15:10 Xakh, if there only are linux drivers for that device, just the kernel needs to be recompiled and it should work 2010-05-24 15:10 dammit. 2010-05-24 15:10 neat. 2010-05-24 15:10 androirc + other program = no androirc. 2010-05-24 15:10 i have to remember that. 2010-05-24 15:11 hm. well i used the device before 2010-05-24 15:11 on a linux system 2010-05-24 15:11 it was ubuntu, but i got it running on fedora too 2010-05-24 15:12 so what tools does the nano have for wifi? 2010-05-24 15:12 like, wicd? 2010-05-24 15:13 i dunno about the current image, but in the past it had the iwconfig and other tools for use with the sdio wifi cards 2010-05-24 15:14 and since the image is based on openwrt, which is distro for routers, it must have a lot of wifi apps in the repository 2010-05-24 15:14 yeah, i'd think so, lol 2010-05-24 15:16 though they're mostly for putting out wifi, not taking it in 2010-05-24 15:16 oh, has anyone tried that microsd wifi antenna? 2010-05-24 15:18 yep 2010-05-24 15:18 how well does it work? 2010-05-24 15:18 it works 2010-05-24 15:19 how good - no idea 2010-05-24 15:19 heh, alright 2010-05-24 15:21 btw, am i the only one surprised with how good the nanonote looks? usually when you see an open handheld, it's pretty rough looking, since it was designed by developers, but this one really has the feel of a finished product 2010-05-24 15:21 Xakh, nanonote design was bought from chinese developers 2010-05-24 15:21 they designed this device as a chinese dictionary 2010-05-24 15:21 heh, really? 2010-05-24 15:21 yep 2010-05-24 15:22 that's so cool 2010-05-24 15:22 here you can see the chinese prototype: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/File:Loose_Hinge.ogv 2010-05-24 15:23 crap, i can't click that yet, still on phone 2010-05-24 15:23 that could explain why there's no usb host and all the other design flaws :) 2010-05-24 15:23 (not like i'm saying the design is faulty) 2010-05-24 15:23 can you at least see the picture? 2010-05-24 15:23 this irc client is buggy 2010-05-24 15:23 ah 2010-05-24 15:24 if i exit it, it boots me from irc 2010-05-24 15:24 or if i go to other programs, it closes itself 2010-05-24 15:24 don't you have multiprocessing in android? 2010-05-24 15:24 yeah, this is just a bad program 2010-05-24 15:24 ah, ok 2010-05-24 15:25 i'm looking for other ones, but this one is one of very few android irc clients that exist 2010-05-24 15:28 grrrr 2010-05-24 15:36 can't find my microsd anywhere 2010-05-24 15:36 heh, lucky i did a backup 2 days ago 2010-05-24 15:39 okay, seriously annoying. 2010-05-24 15:39 going to move to laptop asap 2010-05-24 15:40 still, the sd card i used for the nano is missing, i have to use the one from my phone 2010-05-24 15:40 grrr 2010-05-24 15:55 so, what other packages are good to install on this thing? 2010-05-24 16:31 zear: you back yet 2010-05-24 16:31 ? 2010-05-24 16:31 tep 2010-05-24 16:31 *ype 2010-05-24 16:31 *yep 2010-05-24 16:31 :P 2010-05-24 16:32 bad ass 2010-05-24 16:32 so, what other games play nice on this system? 2010-05-24 16:34 descent 1&2 2010-05-24 16:34 openliero 2010-05-24 16:34 quake, but at a low fps 2010-05-24 16:34 whoa, descent, nice 2010-05-24 16:35 scummvm 2010-05-24 16:35 generally a lot of games from dingoo a320 platform 2010-05-24 16:39 where's the descent port?
