[1:06] <nuclearsandwich> dead on arrival
[1:07] <nuclearsandwich> when I powered it up I was treated to a blank white screen which would periodically go out and then come back
[1:07] <nuclearsandwich> but remained blank white or off. No AI logo or anything
[1:07] <nuclearsandwich> I already tried reflashing the OS onto the SD card but that did not help.
[1:08] <Meiz_n810> WSOD! O_O

[1:09] <Corsac> definitely
[1:09] <dpb> nuclearsandwich: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/support/helpdesk.htm
[1:09] <nuclearsandwich> already filed a ticket but I thought I'd check the forums and irc to see how common this was.
[1:10] <nuclearsandwich> I'm a little bummed out, but at least it means I'll sleep tonight... eventually.
[1:11] <nuclearsandwich> I can say this though, the internals are very elegantly laid out.

[1:13] <nuclearsandwich> it is topheavy yes, but according to the forums their shipping out plastic bits to fix this
[1:13] <nuclearsandwich> and the October batch will have them included
[1:14] <nuclearsandwich> yeah, they've basically got an L that clips on the back as a sort of triangle base
[1:14] <nuclearsandwich> so it adds some area behind the hinge to prevent tipping
[1:15] <nuclearsandwich> if it sticks out behind more leverage is required to tip it.
[1:15] <dpb> Has any international order got the tracking number yet?
[1:15] <nuclearsandwich> I should mention that I live about 20 minutes from Palo Alto.
[1:16] <nuclearsandwich> yeah, all pre-existing customers will be getting them
[1:16] <nuclearsandwich> if you have a TB or one on the way, this part will make it to you at some point, the october batch and on will have them in the box.
[1:17] <Meiz_n810> cdjmvjvfjfv
[1:17] <nuclearsandwich> I can't speak for the interface just yet. :?
[1:17] <Meiz_n810> sry, it was my f-ing schoolmate
[1:18] <Meiz_n810> im gay
[1:18] <nuclearsandwich> I'm hoping to muck about with getting Dalvik running on it sans the google apps.
[1:18] <dpb> as I understand the 3d interface is only for the "menu", so it's a bit of a marketing bullshit IMO..
[1:18] <nuclearsandwich> I preorded on April Fool's Day, so it sort of makes sense
[1:18] <Meiz_n810> fucking schoolmateidiot >_<
[1:18] <nuclearsandwich> yeah, it's basically an animated OS X style dock that takes up the whole screen.
[1:19] <dpb> I was quite disappointed when I read it has xfce
[1:20] <dpb> dpb*
[1:20] <dpb> I was expecting some 3d UI :)
[1:20] * Meiz_n810 is gonna kill the guy who's typing some shiit here with my name XE
[1:20] <nuclearsandwich> neither gnome nor kde would be wise choices with 256MB of RAM. I'm looking forward to compiling dwm for this bad boy.
[1:21] <dpb> But I won't be using the TB OS anyway..
[1:21] <nuclearsandwich> What do you plan to run on it dpb?
[1:21] <dpb> nuclearsandwich: Ubuntu for start, but I got plans for my own OS
[1:21] <dpb> s/OS/distro/
[1:21] <dpb> nuclearsandwich: and yeah, dwm too <3
[1:21] <nuclearsandwich> rock on, Ubuntu derivative or from scratch?
[1:22] <dpb> nuclearsandwich: I'm planning to use ARM Linux Internet Platform for the base (http://linux.onarm.com)
[1:23] <dpb> they have an armel port of debian, yeah.
[1:24] <nuclearsandwich> indeed, but 90% of the so called distros that are popping up these days are Ubuntu with a different default package set and artwork.
[1:24] <dpb> Anyway, if I do my own distro, it won't be Debian/Ubuntu based.
[1:25] <dpb> Doesn't seem any more idiotproof than Debian...
[1:25] <nuclearsandwich> Ubuntu uses Debian's sources and packaging guidelines as a starting point but the target user base and philosophies differ enormously and this is reflected in how the distribution handles.
[1:25] <dpb> Ubuntu gained the popularity because they know how to market it.
[1:26] <nuclearsandwich> Most Debian users are appalled at how inflexible Ubuntu is and most Ubuntu folk can't figure out how to get stuff running in Debian.
[1:26] <dpb> I'm a long-time Debian user, but lately I've been going more and more towards Ubuntu.
[1:27] <nuclearsandwich> The best thing I can say for Ubuntu is that it makes an excellent runs on anything LiveCD for recovery and it's a gateway drug to more advanced linux distributions
[1:27] <dpb> Ubuntu is quite nice, if you just install the core and not the whole "OS".
[1:28] <nuclearsandwich> Qt had some licensing silliness before Qt4 though so I can see how Gnome gained its foothold.
[1:28] <dpb> KDE is just as bad.
[1:29] <dpb> kde4 might be, but there was really nothing better with the kde3 look..
[1:29] <nuclearsandwich> worse, in some respects. I've largely moved non-geeks to XFCE as it is pretty and fully functioned without being overly bulky.
[1:30] <dpb> I tried KDE4, but seems quite undone. Quite unstable, components kept crashing all the time.
[1:30] <nuclearsandwich> KDE3 by default wasn't much to look at but KDE's power was in your ability to customize the look.
[1:31] <dpb> :)
[1:31] <nuclearsandwich> KDE4 was a collossal rewrite and its taking a while to get back to it's strong points. My brother is using 4.3 and loves it.
[1:32] <nuclearsandwich> I wouldn't reccomend open office
[1:32] <dpb> abiword atleast was on the list
[1:33] <nuclearsandwich> it would start to push what the TB can handle
[1:33] <dpb> openoffice will probably be way too heavy
[1:33] <nuclearsandwich> It'll run but it will be clunky, Is openoffice fully compiled or bytecode?
[1:34] <nuclearsandwich> I would assume that it has to run in the JVM on the touchbook
[1:34] <dpb> MaceN8x0: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/List_packages_2009-09.b lists what the image has ready (I can't see a list for 09.c on the wiki yet..)
[1:34] <nuclearsandwich> which would add some overhead
[1:34] <dpb> openoffice isn't fully JVM, only some parts of it
[1:35] <dpb> I think it's mainly C++
[1:35] <nuclearsandwich> it comes with abiword and gnumeric for word processing and spreadsheet editing. I can't imagine needing anything more sophisticated than what those apps can do.
[1:36] <dpb> it doesn't even come with Vim?? ugh..
[1:36] <nuclearsandwich> the suckless mailing lists were talking about the distinct lack of truly lightweight office applications.
[1:38] <dpb> crazy..
[1:39] <nuclearsandwich> I should probably get to bed actually, I have class in6 hours and I didn't sleep last night working on a project. It's been great to meet you all. I'll be spending quite a lot of time here as the months go by. May your initial experience unboxing your TBs be better than mine by far. Night all.
[1:39] <dpb> Night.
[1:40] <nuclearsandwich> dpb: I'm hoping vim is one of those things that is so trivial they forgot to list it. I don't know what I'd do without it

[7:47] <Meizirkki> JoeM, I think you can.
[7:48] <JoeM> I'm in Florida so I think alot of people in the US will get theirs if it shipped 10/5
[7:49] <Meizirkki> My money was taken week ago, but i'm still without a tracking-number :(
[7:50] <Meizirkki> I don't live in US though
[7:50] <JoeM> now I am fighting with the magnets!! I tried the table idea... not working or just a whimp
[7:50] <JoeM> No tracking number? are you in the US
[7:50] <andrewgodwin> are they the really small but strong magnets?
[7:50] <andrewgodwin> i almost lost the end of a finger to them once
[7:50] <JoeM> little bigger than a nickel
[7:51] <JoeM> andre how did you get them apart?

[7:56] <Meizirkki> non-US here
[7:56] <blunderer> non US too
[7:56] <andrewgodwin> i think they haven't figured out non-US shipping yet
[7:57] <andrewgodwin> considering the shipping cost, it'd better be delivered by a pony to my doorstep :)
[7:58] <andrewgodwin> I would say "where's gregoire when you need him", but every time he comes on he gets assaulted with questions :)
[7:58] <JoeM> Cosac did you get one?
[7:59] <Meizirkki> <Corsac> still no tracking number here :(
[7:59] <Meizirkki> he said that about 20 sec ago
[8:00] <JoeM> sorry refreshed the page...
[8:01] <Corsac> :)
[8:01] <Corsac> France here
[8:02] <JoeM> I'm gonna go back and fight with the magnets some more :-) I guess I will wait for the TB to fully charge, Not totally sure if I can use while charging.
[8:02] <Corsac> that shouldn't cause any problem
[8:03] <JoeM> Kool... I read someone was having problems with their TB and E13design mentioned something about charging. It was on the forum recently.
[8:03] <mjr> most devices seem to recommend full charge before use, but I don't know if that's overly fussy
[8:03] <andrewgodwin> it's mostly a holdover from old battery technology
[8:04] <mjr> that's what I've pretty much figured, while still usually doing that to be on the safe side
[8:05] <andrewgodwin> when the cells had a memory, you had to charge them fully, or they'd get funny
[8:05] <JoeM> the last post under suggestions it was mentioned
[8:06] <JoeM> E13design "Have you guys been charging your TB like the quick start guide says to? You waited months another 9 hours wont kill you."
[8:06] <JoeM> quick start didn't say anything about charging or I missed it... will re-read again. Its only a few pages

[11:51] <tommd> My TB is in town and will probably be on my doorstep this afternoon!
[11:51] <tommd> Your TB?
[11:51] <tommd> I thought you were just trying to write a haiku.
[11:52] <andrewgodwin> Macer: is it the backlight, or just the image?
[11:52] <tommd> What OS version?
[11:53] <andrewgodwin> weird
[11:53] <DJWillis> Macer: the usual lack of input thing (mouse/touchscreen etc.)? I assume that the current software is still using largely Beagle based images?
[11:54] <andrewgodwin> ah, at least it's probably a software issue
[11:55] <andrewgodwin> not that that helps you now, but still...
[11:55] <andrewgodwin> yes, it is
[11:55] <DJWillis> Macer: tapped the touchscreen? (sorry, don't have a touchbook (in the UK) but have a lot of other OMAP3 stuff). It's almost deff. software.
[11:55] <DJWillis> Macer: is it the screen or the backlight?
[11:56] <DJWillis> hmmm, doh! ;-)
[11:58] <DJWillis> Macer: not directly, I suspect it's kernel setup (I think the kernel is based on the Linux-OMAP PM branch). I guess you could just poke the backlight device to stop it going off on batts, that would depend on how AI setup a few things.
[12:03] <koen> DJWillis: it's a non-pm kernel, but OE builds a pm kernel by default for touchbook
[12:05] <DJWillis> koen: ahhh, I assumed your merge into OE was based on whatever the shipping firmware used (I could not find an AI overlay anywhere). I stand corrected.

[12:33] <pliny> Just opening my TB. USPS fricking ripped a giant hole in the box. Don't know how well it works yet, but I can tell you the plastic foam stuff they packed it with is awesome.
[12:33] <pliny> And I got a stylus too... Interesting.
[12:51] <tommd> pliny: A stylus _with_ the TB?

[12:51] <tommd> cool!
[12:51] <tommd> I can't wait to get home!
[12:51] <pliny> more concerningly though, neither my keyboard, nor my mouse seem to be working...

[13:06] <pliny> Yeah, I saw. I'll try being patient. My keyboard and mouse aren't working though, so I'm freaking out.
[13:07] <pliny> I'm trying to figure out if it's getting power from the keyboard. If it is, maybe I'll just leave them to sit and charge.
[13:08] <andrewgodwin> it might be because it wasn't fully charged?
[13:08] <andrewgodwin> there might well be a reason for the advice to charge it first
[13:09] <andrewgodwin> Macer: yeah, I reckon it was, and the kernel's powermanager was getting confused about the changing levels, perha]s
[13:09] <pliny> Yeah, but I read that the tablet portion won't charge unless it's on.
[13:09] <andrewgodwin> it probably didn't know its own battery capacity
[13:09] <andrewgodwin> pliny: really?
[13:10] <pliny> http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Charging_batteries
[13:10] <andrewgodwin> oh yes
[13:10] <andrewgodwin> well, that's not _that_ bad an issue I guess
[13:10] <pliny> Yeah, but the question is am I getting power from the keyboard to charge with? There's no keyboard or mouse recognised. Could be a connector issue. I'm still poking about.
[13:11] <andrewgodwin> Macer: yeah, 18Ah overall is quite a bit
[13:11] <andrewgodwin> my phone could probably last a month with that
[13:12] <andrewgodwin> i plan to get an n900 when they're out
[13:13] <andrewgodwin> hrm yes, my phone battery is only 1.1Ah
[13:13] <andrewgodwin> and it lasts around 3 days
[13:14] <andrewgodwin> perhaps the TB will last all the way from London to Portland next year, then
[13:14] <andrewgodwin> it might be a codec issue
[13:15] <andrewgodwin> try vlc, if it's available

[13:39] <mjr> and if the dsp codecs are exposed via only gstreamer, mplayer wouldn't do you much good, since the cpu won't do a very good job at decoding those in real time...
[13:39] <hyc1> pliny: yeah, the screen will blank on its own when the power is low
[13:40] <hyc1> ~8 hours I think, maybe less
[13:40] <hyc1> what plans? just create a new user
[13:41] <hyc1> it's likeany other Linux system
[13:41] <hyc1> read the wiki

[13:43] <hyc1> pliny: the battery status is under /sys/class/power_supply
[13:45] <hyc1> read the wiki page for DSP Video, it's not always straightforward
[13:45] <pliny> hyc: Thanks. Now I'm working on finding out where the keyobard and mouse went...
[13:47] <hyc1> pliny: a few other people had problems there, as I recall. if the cable in the keyboard or hinge are pinched, that will screw 'em up
[13:47] <pliny> So I have to go inside the thing? That'll be fun.
[13:47] <hyc1> also just try separating the tablet and reseating it again
[13:48] <pliny> Done that. Also tried it backwards.
[13:50] <hyc1> then yeah, you may need to open it up
[13:50] <pliny> I hate losing the little feet things on the bottom...
[13:50] <hyc1> I've occasionally had the base disappear on boot, looks like the kernel I built has problems initializing the USB driver
[13:51] <hyc1> then it takes a few reboots for it to actually come up correctly
[13:51] <pliny> I see an error on boot enumerating a usb device, just before the AI splash...
[13:51] <hyc1> but I've never had that problem on the stock kernel that AI ships
[13:51] <hyc1> ah, that sounds like what I'm getting
[13:52] <hyc1> is the tablet fully charged yet? if so try booting it alone
[13:52] <hyc1> and then mount on the keyboard after it's all the way up.
[13:52] <pliny> Lemme reboot... Unable to enumerate on port 2.
[13:53] <hyc1> Macer: dunno, haven't looked
[13:53] <pliny> On the theory it might be a power issue, I've plugged the tablet directly in and was going to let it sit for an hour.

[14:35] <martinh> like, the slow mouse and the screen blanking.
[14:36] <hyc> you can just use xset to set the mouse acceleration
[14:36] <hyc> that's normal X stuff

[14:42] <hyc> it may just be trying to rebuild a filesystem database

[15:22] <pliny> All I have is the hub. Looks like it's bug 24 for me...
[15:23] <achhu> so, what if it doesnt show up ? Is it a config error ? or is the usb add on missing ? I opened the back cover - I could see three obvious USB slots.. one was occupied. I guess it was the bluetooth?
[15:24] <hyc> acchu: probably. the wifi plug is pretty obvious, it's a bare circuit board plugged into the USB slot
[15:24] <hyc> someone else had their TB delivered without the wifi adapter, maybe that happened to you too
[15:24] <hyc> you'll have to contact their customer support...
[15:24] <pliny> BT is next to the SD card, Wifi is near the top.
[15:28] <achhu> Yes, one USB near SD card is occupied. so, thats the BT. But, I see two empty USB slots on the top .. should the Wifi be in one of them ?
[15:31] <pliny> Yes.
[15:31] <pliny> It;s probably time to email support@alwaysinnovating.com - I just did.
[15:33] <achhu> I am shooting one now ;) thanks for the help anyway!
[15:37] <pliny> Good thing I didn't toss any of the packaging....
[15:39] <achhu> They can mail just the wireless add on.. other stuff seems to be in order. I dont think you would have send you TB back to them to fix this ..
[15:40] <pliny> My problem is probably somewhere in the tablet.

[18:48] <robclark> hmm.. how *do* you get out of this.. event ctrl-tab doesn't seem to let it got to the background
[18:53] <robclark> hmm, something I did, either ctrl-alt-delete or pwr button I guess, brought up a million dialogs with restart, task mgr, etc buttons
[18:55] <MADgood> hyc: i'm curious, are you under the impression that there are any other developers aside from Gregoire working on the OS?
[18:55] <hyc> yes, I've seen a couple other names on code
[18:56] <hyc> and of course Angstrom / OpenEmbedded has a pretty big community already
[18:56] <MADgood> right.
[18:56] <MADgood> I figured there had to be other people, but i've never seen them identify themselves on forums or anything
[18:59] <robclark> a lot of ppl using and developing oe (and derivatives).. so it is very much an open src platform
[19:00] <robclark> but I do wonder if gregoire ever sleeps ;-)
[19:00] <hyc> yeah, he's certainly keeping busy

[19:12] <MADgood> robclark: The device should be on for 6 to 9 hours to fully charge both batteries. You can still use the Touch Book during this charging time. Just make sure to have the DC jack plugged.

[19:43] <JoeM> How do I chat with the TB... try'd Java but dont work...
[19:44] <JoeM> mean chat FROM the TB :-)
[19:44] <hyc> chat with? I swear at my computers from time to time but we never just chat
[19:44] <JoeM> Hows it going hyc?
[19:47] <hyc> going ok
[19:47] <hyc> hows the TB doing?
[19:48] <JoeM> Help me out here hyc... I can view the logs but cant input anything... I know its not the TB just me being slow
[19:48] <hyc> view what logs?
[19:49] <JoeM> On the TB I can view the logs but can't write to it..
[19:50] <hyc> again... view WHAT logs?
[19:50] <JoeM> the IRC logs for the TB
[19:50] <hyc> oh, that was obvious, why didn't I just guess that.
[19:50] <hyc> the IRC logs on the web are only that - logs
[19:51] <hyc> they're not the actual chat session
[19:51] <JoeM> I know but how can I become the actual chat session while using the TB
[19:52] <JoeM> I use Java now to chat with you fine people
[19:52] <hyc> run the chat client from the Start menu...
[19:52] <JoeM> from the TB.. checking now
[19:54] <JoeM> hyc: where is the chat client from the start menu? dont see it
[19:58] <JoeM> OK time to go.. overall the TB is prety koool. alittle top heavy but not a problem. take care and god bless!!

[20:02] <martinh> hrm. . .haven't gotten it to connect to my wep network.
[20:04] <martinh> ok. xset didn't turn off the screen blank.
[20:07] <hyc> not connecting to wep?
[20:07] <hyc> is the networking control panel showing the networks on its scan list?
[20:08] <martinh> yea
[20:08] <martinh> does it want the password or the hex version?
[20:09] <hyc> I think just the password
[20:10] <hyc> I've never really touched the wep code, only wpa
[20:10] <martinh> seems to want the hex version.
[20:10] <martinh> keep in mind, i'm about 20m into having it in my hands. blah. wish I had waay more time.
[20:11] <martinh> and. screen just blanked. but, came back and blanked again.
[20:12] <hyc> just hit the power button a couple times
[20:12] <hyc> it usually comes right back
[20:13] * robclark (n=robclark@nat/ti/x-hrhamexzijpnfdjm) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[20:13] <martinh> ah. i'll try that. does the X on it obey .Xinitrc?
[20:13] <hyc> dunno
[20:13] <hyc> probably
[20:13] <hyc> whatever xfce4 usually does
[20:14] <martinh> ok. on, WEP, it wants the hex key.
[20:21] <martinh> hrm. doesn't seem to like .Xinitrc wonder what xfce reads.
[20:21] <drantin> .xinitrc is the normal name
[20:21] <drantin> lower-case x
[20:22] <drantin> but it's X that does it, not xfce
[20:22] <drantin> there's an environment variable that could do it too
[20:22] <drantin> can't recall which it is off hand
[20:23] <hyc> regardless, the xinit command is still running under the covers to fire everything off
[20:23] <hyc> and it obviously reads .xinitrc
[20:23] <martinh> hmm. not here.
[20:24] <hyc> that will be a lot of time spent for no reason
[20:24] <hyc> the OS on your machine is the same as the latest release
[20:24] <martinh> neither .Xinitrc or .xinitrc runs without intervention.
[20:25] <hyc> Macer: just wipe the ext3 partition
[20:25] <hyc> that's the last partition on the card
[20:25] <hyc> oh well....
[20:26] <hyc> yes, but it will also take 30 minutes or so
[20:26] <hyc> was it working before your hang?
[20:27] <hyc> try dropping and restarting the interface. ifconfig ra0 down / ifconfig ra0 up
[20:28] <hyc> then try iwlist ra0 scan
[20:28] <hyc> what about the iwlist command
[20:30] <martinh> ok. i'm off to bed. more playing tomorrow.
[20:31] <hyc> iwlist shows you the list of networks but the manager doesn't?
[20:32] <hyc> very strange
[20:33] <hyc> ohh
[20:33] <hyc> did you tether it before?
[20:33] <hyc> ok then probably not related
[20:34] <hyc> I've noticed that after using my G1 wifi tether it won't connect to normal APs any more
[20:34] <hyc> once it connects to an ad hoc network you have to explicitly tell it to go back to managed mode
[20:34] <hyc> dunno
[20:34] <hyc> I guess it has to
[20:34] <hyc> but you only need to wipe the 4th partition
[20:35] <hyc> the rest is read-only anyway, never changed.
[20:35] <hyc> nope. the only read-write space is partition 4.

[21:17] <pliny> Did anybody else get an email about charging the TB from AI? I'm trying to figure out if they're responding to my support request with a form letter, or if everybody got this?
[21:23] <shiznebit> pliny i got nil
[21:23] <shiznebit> zilch, nada, and dung
[21:23] <pliny> Did your TB ship in this batch?
[21:23] <shiznebit> no
[21:24] <shiznebit> they completely ignored me
[21:24] <shiznebit> when did you preorder
[21:24] <pliny> I'm wondering if everybody in this batch got one, or if they're just overwhelmed. My problem isn't power related and I wanted to check before I mailed them back.
[21:25] <pliny> Oh... you don't want to know.
[21:25] <shiznebit> i do
[21:26] <pliny> Late enough that I probably got bumped due to a willingness to test things.
[21:28] <shiznebit> i did as well
[21:28] <shiznebit> thats nice
[21:28] <pliny> Okay. I just reread the message. It looks like a letter to everyone in this batch explaing charging and where to get help.
[21:29] <pliny> I'm just antsy because I was all excited about getting my TB today, and the darn thing is b0rked.
[21:29] <shiznebit> pliny, im glad you got it
[21:29] <pliny> I just wish I could get it working....

[21:32] <pliny> As in I have none.
[21:32] <robclark_tb> hi from the tb
[21:32] <pliny> All the TB can see is the internal hub.
[21:33] <shiznebit> can it see the host controller ?
[21:33] <shiznebit> robclark_tb, thats smug
[21:33] <pliny> I think that's the hub it's seeing.
[21:34] <robclark_tb> :-)

[23:01] <hyc> it depends on u-boot
[23:01] <Corsac> no bios, no acpi, no pci
[23:02] <hyc> so far I've booted a few times with my USB flash drive inserted, and it just ignores it.
[23:02] <Corsac> mhm
[23:02] <hyc> only boots from the SD card. probably u-boot is capable of booting off USB storage, but I guess we need some fw_setenv setting to enable it
[23:09] <Corsac> or you could boot using tftp
