<larsc>
yes it is. it seems as if two jz_battery_read_voltage are running concurrently, otherwise i wouldn't know how to explain an unbalanced enable_irq
<larsc>
although i cant see yet what could cause that
<B_Lizzard>
If you can somehow combine that with the fact I can replicate it by removing and reinserting my AC adaptor with the USB part plugged in.
<B_Lizzard>
Not the other way around.
<B_Lizzard>
Removing and reinserting the USB cable doesn't do anything
<B_Lizzard>
Lemme check something
<B_Lizzard>
Actually, I just have to remove the AC adaptor
<B_Lizzard>
Different AC adaptors don't seem to change anything
<B_Lizzard>
Maybe it has something to do with the gradual tapering of voltage by the capacitors or something like that?
<larsc>
can you try and see if you can reproduce the problem by doing a (cd /sys/class/power/battery; cat voltage health)?
<B_Lizzard>
OK
<B_Lizzard>
Do you mean /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now?
<B_Lizzard>
Would this patch add proper keyboard support under the console?
<larsc>
yes
<B_Lizzard>
OK, thanks.

rafa: [continuing here] then, anything that got flagged in OpenWRT as "patented". not sure if there's a list
<rafa>
wpwrak: what is flagged in OpenWRT?
<wpwrak>
the have a flag that indicated whether a package contains patented material
<wpwrak>
so that one can avoid that package
<rafa>
ah.. for every package?
<wpwrak>
but i don't know the details
<rafa>
ah.. okey.. let me check
<wpwrak>
well, as i understand it, it could be set on any package
<rafa>
wpwrak: I hope that we will not get something like (OE repository)-(flagged packages)=openwrt repository :)
<wpwrak>
naw, don't worry. i think it's only very few
<wpwrak>
besides, once you have a procedure for excluding in packages in place, and excluded the obvious ones, you may very well leave the detail search to others
<larsc>
a hackish solution could be to create a no-patents package and let packages with patented technologies conflict with it
<wpwrak>
liberty.ipk ;-) it would then even make sense in a philosophical sense ...
<rafa>
larsc: yes, but we need still to know which are the packages with patented technologies
<larsc>
thats true
<kristianpaul>
wich kind of patented techonology are you lookign for besides multimedia codecs?
<kristianpaul>
i guess ubutu and fedora guys managed that a bit
<qbject>
Hey, all. Has anyone else had trouble installing hnb?
<qbject>
I get "* deb_extract: hnb_1.9.17_xburst.ipk: invalid magic"
<qbject>
Drat. I hoped it was maybe my FAT32 uSD mucking up the .ipk so I downloaded the .gz and didn't unzip it until I had copied it to the Ben's NAND. No change.
<qbject>
Could this have anything to do with the fact that tar has been hanging?
<kristoffer>
sounds more like corrupted package/binary
<qbject>
kristoffer: Hrm. I've downloaded twice from the link in qi-hw.com. Could WinXP/FAT32 screw up a .ipk.gz?
<qbject>
Like I said, I'm not unzipping it until it's on the Ben.
<kristoffer>
fat shouldnt mess it up like that. At worst it would simply shorten the filename
<kristoffer>
you sure the package is working for someone else?
<qbject>
kristoffer: no, I'm not. I just know that others are using hnb on their Bens, so I assumed.
<qbject>
I'll ping jirka about it.
<kristoffer>
qbject, roger
<qbject>
kristoffer: you were right - corrupted file. didn't even have to bug jirka.
<qbject>
Chrome browser on Windows XP appends .gz to the filename (I didn't realize that Chrome was doing it) so I ran the hnb installer through gunzip before trying to install, which I think is what was corrupting it.
<qbject>
I downloaded the installer with Firefox instead, and FF didn't muck it up. Installed just fine.
<rafa>
qbject: just a question.. that package you downloaded is not on some repository ? so you can use opkg install package.ipk from your nn?.. I am trying to understand how you get packages
<qbject>
I download those files to a desktop computer, then copy to one of my microSD cards with a µSD-USB adapter that came with one of them.
<qbject>
then copy to my Ben from the µSD card.
<qbject>
Once an .ipk is on the Ben (I usually just toss them in / and delete when I'm done) it can be installed with, for instance, "opkg install hnb_1.9.17_xburst.ipk"
<qbject>
rafa: does that make sense?
<qbject>
(oops. scratch that last link to zear's stuff. I'm pretty sure those are static binaries that you just unpack and run.)
<rafa>
qbject: yes I understand.. a little hard to get packages :( but well, you are having fun it seems ;) (games, gmu, etc :) )
<qbject>
rafa: I try to use my computers for as many things as I can. =D Why do you have trouble getting packages?
<rafa>
qbject: me?, I do not have problems, or what do you mean?
<qbject>
rafa: I'm sorry, I misunderstood when you said "a little hard to get packages :("
<rafa>
qbject: ah.. that was for you :)
<rafa>
because it seems a little hard (download on pc -> copy SD using adapter -> copy ben -> try install)
<qbject>
Ahh. Yes, it is true. But that is okay. It keeps me out of trouble when I play with the NN at work (can't concentrate on it for too long), and then I don't get distracted by emails when I should be playing games!
<rafa>
qbject: you are right. If mails are not letting you to play games then something is wrong there.. ;)
<qbject>
rafa: I'm glad you understand. :) I find that the Internet is enormously valuable as a tool, but if it's still hooked up when it's not needed, it becomes a monumental waste of time.
<wolfspraul>
wpwrak: hmm. Yanjun Luo (the guy who designed the board) says R16 doesn't need 250V.
<wolfspraul>
I don't know why and I doubt he will come here into irc to discuss it :-)
<wolfspraul>
meanwhile Sebastien found a serious bug on the board, C2, C4, R3 and R4 need to be removed, otherwise USB high speed won't work
