Morning everyone
<Tesseract>
anyone here?
<kristianpaul>
hi
<kristianpaul>
evening here 23:55
<Tesseract>
hello?
<kristianpaul>
hey :)
<Tesseract>
finally
<Tesseract>
lol
<kristianpaul>
ahhh, i knew osgps just work with real data
<kristianpaul>
well i wasnt sure at all, but Clifford Kelley just confirmed
<Tesseract>
can i get some help? when trying to get ethernet over usb for the nanonote, when i punch in ifconfig usb0, it says device not found
<Tesseract>
Not good.
<kyak>
ifconfig -a
<kyak>
it might be that some udev smartness renamed it to usb1,2.. etc
<Tesseract>
it gives the same as before
<Tesseract>
eth0, lo and wlan0
<Tesseract>
any ideas?
<kyak>
when you plug in Ben, do you see it appear in dmesg?
<kyak>
also, what does lsusb show?
<Tesseract>

<Tesseract>
and whats dmesg?
<kyak>
please, use some pastebin service...
<kyak>
and try pluggin Ben to some other usb port
<Tesseract>
and it appeared for no apparent reason
<Tesseract>
wierd
<Tesseract>
thankyou
<kyak>
after plugin to another port?
<Tesseract>
yes
<kyak>
remember this port well :)
<Tesseract>
must be an internal hub or somthing
<kyak>
yeah
<kyak>
you might as well document this port in Ethernet over USB wiki page :)
<Tesseract>
might aswell, under the Issue heading.
<Tesseract>
new problem, on the nanonote: "ipkg update" is trying to get a file that doesn't exist anymore.
<Tesseract>
an update will probably fix that though
<Tesseract>
flash*
<kyak>
flashing to the latest version is always a good idea
<kyak>
opgk update should fetch the Package.gz fine in any case.. check the /etc/opkg.conf
<Tesseract>
except when your about to break your internet cap >.<
<kyak>
how is that?
<Tesseract>
I'm located in australia and I have a 40gb on-peak and 40gb off-peak cap
<kyak>
ah, fetching an image is a problem? :)
<kyak>
the rootfs size when compressed is ~150 Mb
<kyak>
that's approximately how much you will need to download
<Tesseract>
i'll get up early tomorrow and try and download it in off-peak.
<Tesseract>
thanks again for your help
<kyak>
np
<kyak>
btw, what is your current version? (cat /etc/VERSION)
<Tesseract>
2010-9-14
<kyak>
that's so old :)
<Tesseract>
nothing but a dictionary, map viewer and terminal
<Tesseract>
out of curiosity, what do you guys use the nanonote for?

<wpwrak>
grmbl. there's an open source embedded meeting at 9. waay too early
<wolfspraul>
wpwrak: are you already back in Buenos Aires?
<wpwrak>
wolfspraul: naw, staying in porto alegre until sunday
<wolfspraul>
ah nice
<wolfspraul>
somehow today it struck me that I need a lot of great online marketing material for the m1 launch, urgh
<wpwrak>
did you really think i'd miss out on all the drinking ? :)
<wpwrak>
;-))
<wolfspraul>
like some tutorial video, or videos of the box in action in general
<wolfspraul>
oh my :-)
<wpwrak>
ah, speaking of which, what's the plan for the monthly news ?
<wolfspraul>
at least delayed by 10 days or so
<wolfspraul>
i'm completely swamped right now
<wpwrak>
also some seed videos for viral marketing
<wpwrak>
hmm, thinking of it, drunken brazilian girls on rejon's M1 should draw some attention :)
<wolfspraul>
I set myself a sales goal for when I would consider copyleft hardware a success today: 1 billion units
<wpwrak>
(10 days) good. i can relax then :)
<wolfspraul>
not that bad complacency sets in here
<wpwrak>
(1 billion) yeah, show those apple dweebs ! :)
<wolfspraul>
they will reach it before us, but who cares
<wolfspraul>
1 billion is a good number
<wolfspraul>
if we sell less than that, we failed on impact. and free software should be powerful enough to create something useful for 1 billion users. so... that's my goal now. at least it's a precise number :-)
<wpwrak>
i need to get rejon to show off his M1. yesterday, he kept it a little secret
<wolfspraul>
why that?
<wolfspraul>
did you see it in action yourself yet?
<wpwrak>
i'd be satisfied with sustainability :)
<wpwrak>
nope
<wolfspraul>
I think his software is also a bit old
<wolfspraul>
wpwrak: the 1 billion is for the copyleft hardware mission statement, unrelated to our short term goals
<wpwrak>
does he know how to field-upgrade ?
<wolfspraul>
he should, we did together once or twice
<wolfspraul>
just plug in jtag cable, run script
<wolfspraul>
maybe he doesn't want to take chances since it works now
<wpwrak>
okay, for the whole movement. doesn't have to be qi-hw alone then
<wolfspraul>
yes sure
<wpwrak>
hmm. need to check if he brought the jtag cable
<wolfspraul>
that's a regular USB cable
<wolfspraul>
he has it all, no worries
<wpwrak>
will the latest sw have better effects ? or justfewer bugs and more "exotic" features ?
<wolfspraul>
hard to say since it's progressing everywhere
<wpwrak>
but jtag is also the little board, no ?
<wolfspraul>
yes but that's always inserted
<wpwrak>
ah, i see
<wolfspraul>
well maybe try with what's on it first
<wolfspraul>
but you definitely need music
<wolfspraul>
without music it's a very dry experience
<wpwrak>
do we have some good cc-by* tracks somewhere ?
<wolfspraul>
wpwrak: not really, the situation there is dire
<wpwrak>
mmh :-(
<wolfspraul>
you can try jamenda.com or ccmixter.org
<wpwrak>
should have brought my kaossilator then
<wolfspraul>
sorry jamendo.com
<wolfspraul>
but both are very flawed imho
<wpwrak>
could someone with faster internet access please try ? :)
<wolfspraul>
very bad web interface, bad browsing, bad players, bad ranking/rating, bad for exploring new things, bad for downloading, lots of -nc and -nd and other restrictions mixed in with the free stuff
<wpwrak>
bad interface = ideal with slow links and small screens :)
<wolfspraul>
if an itunes product manager is ever accidentally lost on those websites, he will cry badly
<wolfspraul>
but that's the best I know, and if there were better ones Jon would have told me. he knows the situation best (but I'm sure for the most part he agrees with my assessment)
<wolfspraul>
there's classical music on wikimedia commons
<wpwrak>
well, if someone could find 1-2 decent tracks, that would help
