Timestamps are in GMT/BST.

[0:01] <dpb> Sure. Build it with openembedded.
[0:04] * virtual-penguin (n=opensour@cpe-24-92-112-211.elp.res.rr.com) has joined #touchbook
[0:05] <hyc> you can just remove it and install openssh
[0:12] * hyc_tb (n=ai@76.91.220.157) has joined #touchbook
[0:25] <hyc> heh. I ordered a pair of SD cards from NewEgg pretty much immediately.
[0:26] <hyc> yeah, it's a pretty good wifi card and the TB is a nice system really
[0:26] * blunderer (n=tristan@LPuteaux-156-15-47-90.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #touchbook
[0:29] <hyc> when you're running decent, non-bloated code it is plenty fast
[0:30] <hyc> gawd... mozilla is hopeless
[0:30] <hyc> it's amazing the difference in perf/footprint compared to webkit
[0:31] <spvensko> Macer: have you warmed up to your TB yet/
[0:32] <hyc> I need to get some spare time to port MGR over.
[0:35] <spvensko> worth the $400?
[0:41] <hyc_tb> have you used gstreamer yet, or just mplayer?
[0:44] <hyc> the stock stuff? that's mplayer...
[0:45] <hyc> yes
[0:45] <hyc> and the video driver will refuse to draw a video overlay that goes offscreen. so you need to tell the player to scale the 720 down to fit.
[0:46] * jvs (n=jvs@90.146.56.206) has joined #touchbook
[0:46] <hyc> but also, it's possible that the codec for that video is unsupported
[0:46] <dpb> gstreamer isn't a media player
[0:46] <hyc> gstreamer is used in the player tho. used by totem.
[0:47] <hyc> and the DSP support is currently only available as gstreamer modules.
[0:47] <dpb> it's a multimedia framework/library, it's not the actual media player.
[0:48] <hyc> dpb: now you're splitting hairs. gst-launch is part of gstreamer, and that certainly plays media.
[0:48] <dpb> oh?
[0:49] <hyc> gst-launch filesrc location=myvideo.mkv ! playbin
[0:50] <hyc> if by "media player" you only mean a GUI, then no, gstreamer is not. but as far as I'm concerned, anything that *plays media* is a media player. ...
[0:50] <dpb> why not wlan?
[0:50] <hyc> right, the G1 isn't fast enough to handle a lot of traffic
[0:50] <dpb> by "media player" I mean some sort of UI to control media playback
[0:51] <hyc> unless you happen to have yours overclocked...
[0:51] <dpb> can you pause/play with gst-launch?
[0:53] <hyc> dpb: ctrl-z, fg
[0:53] <dpb> hyc :P
[0:53] <dpb> hyc: and going forward/back in the video? :P
[0:54] <hyc> :P
[0:54] <hyc> yeah, that's all I use on the TB
[0:54] <hyc> it's noticeably more responsive than ff
[0:55] <hyc> and smaller memory use
[0:57] <dpb> huh? gmail does work quite well with webkit based browsers. is the midori on the TB OS old?
[0:57] <hyc_tb> 0.1.10
[0:58] <hyc_tb> pretty up to date i think
[0:58] <spvensko> wow, it's so weird to see a channel this active at 4 AM my time
[0:59] <dpb> hyc_tb: do you have gmail? can you verify it doesn't work fully?
[0:59] <dpb> I somehow don't believe it doesn't work.
[0:59] <hyc_tb> 1 sec
[0:59] <dpb> As Google's own browser uses Webkit too, would be weird if it doesn't work.
[1:00] * alongst (n=alon@203.171.192.223) has joined #touchbook
[1:00] <hyc_tb> I just logged in to my gmail acct
[1:00] <hyc_tb> looks fine
[1:00] <hyc_tb> what should I try out?
[1:00] <hyc_tb> hmmm, I don't see any chat contacts
[1:01] <hyc_tb> so I guess that doesn't work here
[1:02] <hyc_tb> yeah, nowit has a banner saying "use a supported browser"
[1:04] <hyc_tb> well, I'm trying the nocheckbrowser option now, will see if it behaves
[1:06] <hyc_tb> it draws the inbox ok for a minute or two then goes blank
[1:06] <hyc_tb> weird
[1:06] * virtual-penguin (n=opensour@cpe-24-92-112-211.elp.res.rr.com) Quit ("ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.5.3/20090824101458]")
[1:07] <hyc_tb> ah no, it goes blank when I try to use the scrollbar
[1:21] * swez (i=swez@sinux-eth0.sinus.cz) has joined #touchbook
[1:28] <jvs> why use a windows share browser at all
[1:46] <spvensko> at least you seem to be able to download anything at a reasonable speed
[1:46] <spvensko> i'm stuck on a 60 kb/s line ><
[1:52] * srobertson (n=steven@2001:470:8:3ec:0:0:0:2) Quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[2:08] <jvs> it is not possible to add a user?
[2:08] <jvs> hmm
[2:08] <jvs> so, no rootaccess?
[2:10] <jvs> you got a shell, no?
[2:12] <jvs> hmm
[2:12] <jvs> then simply add a user
[2:12] <jvs> cool

[2:31] <dpb> I built an Ubuntu image yesterday, gonna boot it up with a beagleboard today if I have time.
[2:32] <dpb> Yeah
[2:32] <dpb> Well the touch screen is possible too if you just buy one ;)
[2:37] * jvs (n=jvs@90.146.56.206) Quit ("Leaving")
[2:37] <dpb> You probably need to edit the boot scripts
[2:38] <dpb> You could just rename the ai user in /etc/passwd
[2:38] <dpb> hmm

[4:18] <Meiz_n810> still no tracking-number :(
[4:22] <andrewgodwin> Meiz_n810: same here
[4:25] <dpb> yep.
[4:45] <blunderer> one day left for tracking number in my mail box before I contact AI
[4:45] <blunderer> that's what they said
[4:47] * Meiz_n810 (n=Meizirkk@padedu-62-165-142-142.phnet.fi) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[4:50] * dpb just booted the TB OS on a beagleboard
[4:55] <dpb> hrmm, why won't usb work on this..
[4:55] * robclark_tb (n=ai@ppp-70-129-131-109.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[4:55] <dpb> the tb os kernel must not support the beagleboard properly..
[4:57] * alongst_ (n=alon@203.171.192.20) has joined #touchbook
[4:57] <dpb> err, why reinstall the os?
[4:58] <dpb> just do a mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdX4 on the card on your machine, that'll but the OS to the original state
[4:59] <dpb> on your computer, not on the touchbook
[5:00] <pliny> Like a knoppix cd?
[5:01] <dpb> Macer: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Revert_OS
[5:02] <dpb> except that's wrong for the latest image, it's support to be partition 4 instead of 3, because there's a swap now
[5:02] <blunderer> a swap on a SD card?
[5:03] * dpb fixed the wiki
[5:03] <dpb> yes, there's swap on it.
[5:03] <pliny> Better to wear out a card than the built in NAND, I guess.
[5:03] <dpb> Yep.
[5:03] <dpb> I see.
[5:04] <pliny> Macer: What about using a liveCD?
[5:04] <andrewgodwin> yeah, swap on an SD is fine
[5:04] <andrewgodwin> given that a 1GB SD card is around 50p...
[5:04] <mjr> people have been swapping on sd on other devices for ages
[5:05] <pliny> You could probably just get away with deleting every file on the partition... If you've got a Windows box, there is an ext3 driver...
[5:05] <dpb> Flashing the sd all the time is sd murder just the same..
[5:05] <mjr> you'd have to trash pretty hard for the sd to burn out very quickly
[5:06] <dpb> You can, but you'll have to partition it manually to have use for the full 16G
[5:07] <Zygo> I've found that SD cards tend to fall into two categories: those that fail in a few weeks or months, and those that still work long after they are too tiny to be useful
[5:07] <Zygo> unfortunately there's no way to determine which type any given SD card is until it fails
[5:08] <Zygo> I've found no correlation between price and failure
[5:10] <dpb> err, why is the TB OS kernel lying to me?
[5:10] <dpb> cat /proc/cpuinfo says the hardware is OMAP3 Touch Book
[5:10] <dpb> even though it is the beagleboard..
[5:11] <dpb> indeed
[5:11] <dpb> of course it isn't worthless
[5:13] * alongst (n=alon@203.171.192.1) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[5:25] <dpb> Well this other kernel doesn't even boot... argh...
[5:26] * jofjdi (n=jsherman@user-10lfcke.cable.mindspring.com) Quit ()
[5:37] <dpb> koen: do you know if there's a beagleboard kernel somewhere that works with the touchbook OS?
[5:38] <dpb> I'm going to get ubuntu running on my tb when I get mine. Probably will provide instructions and images for others if nobody has done that before then.
[5:38] <dpb> I don't have a touchbook yet, so can't try it ;)
[5:39] <dpb> still haven't gotten my damn tracking number..
[5:40] <dpb> I was planning on helping with the username change (maybe even write a wiki for it), but can't really help with that without USB working
[5:42] <dpb> you can just swap the sd card in the main sd slot
[5:43] * jofjdi (n=jsherman@67.72.73.34) has joined #touchbook
[5:44] <dpb> Well you can't boot it on the fly, you need to edit the u-boot parameters for that
[5:46] <dpb> (and if you do that there's a possibility you'll brick the device)
[5:47] <dpb> I wish they hadn't added any samba crap. So useless for me.
[5:48] <dpb> Well I'm not going to use the TB OS anyway, so bleh :)
[5:49] <dpb> :P
[5:49] <dpb> can you paste me somewhere what this says: first sudo -s and then /sbin/fw_printenv

[6:35] <dpb> night
[6:51] <martinh> harumph. . .
[6:52] <martinh> is the full startup suite documented? or, is it just stock init, X & xfce?
[6:52] <martinh> because, something is reseting the mouse speed stuff after I set it during xfce startup.

[7:28] <martinh> Macer: I thought you were going to bed? :->
[7:29] <martinh> my wifi is weird. it doesn't seem to be getting as good of reception as I would have thought.
[7:29] <martinh> but, basically it works.
[7:31] <DJWillis> martinh: WiFi on the TB is USB right? Not SDIO?
[7:33] <martinh> yea
[7:34] <DJWillis> Ahhh,
[7:37] * alexandre_fs (i=c3170b2d@gateway/web/freenode/x-cwrpievectvcsksb) has joined #touchbook
[7:38] <alexandre_fs> Hi all.... I'm interested in buying a Touchbook, but Im in Portugal, so I was wondering if any1 has any experience in delivery to Europe ( taxes, etc...)
[7:39] <blunderer> alexandre_fs: we are all still waiting
[7:39] <alexandre_fs> oh...
[7:39] <DJWillis> alexandre_fs: you will get stung for taxes and I understand that getting one outside of the US is a non-starter right now.
[7:40] <alexandre_fs> because it's non-US orders, or everyone is waiting?
[7:40] <blunderer> our order has benn processsed, account charged, hopefully we'll get a tracking number in a few days
[7:40] <blunderer> for non US orders
[7:41] <alexandre_fs> DJWillis, really? You think I'll pay for customs?
[7:41] <alexandre_fs> blunderer: when did you buy it?
[7:42] <blunderer> begining of august
[7:42] <alexandre_fs> uhmmmm that's not good...
[7:43] <alexandre_fs> did you contact thenm? what are they saying?
[7:43] <martinh> ok. it seems that hitting fn-f7 seems to restore the screen.
[7:44] <blunderer> alexandre_fs: they started shipping last week
[7:45] <DJWillis> alexandre_fs: well it's a tech export from the US to Euro so yes, you will get stung by customs unless your very lucky.
[7:45] <DJWillis> And it's well over the free limits
[7:46] <alexandre_fs> they don't plan to have a resseller in Europe by any chance?
[7:46] <alexandre_fs> i have to contact them
[7:50] <DJWillis> alexandre_fs: I know a few people who asked about picking up Euro distribution but I think the volume of devices is too low at the moment (but I am just guessing).
[7:50] <alexandre_fs> ok thanks...
[7:51] <alexandre_fs> just one last question, when you say "well over the free limits" what do you mean? 20% of the product price?
[7:51] <alexandre_fs> something like that?
[7:52] * JoeM (i=60e48d64@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/session) has joined #touchbook
[7:53] <DJWillis> alexandre_fs: the customs cost are based on the country they come from and go to, I can't help you there.
[7:53] * JoeM (i=60e48d64@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/session) Quit (Nick collision from syn.)
[7:53] <martinh> Macer: hopefully not. :->
[7:54] <alexandre_fs> DJWillis: ok thanks anyway
[7:57] <alexandre_fs> bye all!
[7:57] <martinh> ok. ssh'ed into the touchbook. that'll ease typing.

[9:55] <Corsac> remember that there's no adobe flash player support for the TB
[9:55] <Eruquen> what's the alternative?
[9:55] <JoeM> any way around that?
[9:56] <andrewgodwin> has someone tried nicking the ARM flash plugin from an n8x0 device?
[9:56] <JoeM> corsac: did u get shipping number

[11:21] <martinh> the fn-f6/7 set are for brightening/dimming the screen. it's interesting that brightening it makes it come back.
[11:22] <martinh> makes me think there's an issue that sets it to a brightness of zero randomly.
[11:28] <mjr> Sounds like. At least having the issue software-correctable is encouraging ;]

[13:12] <Corsac> and there's the helpdesk if it's an hardware issue
[13:12] <cmcmanis> So charging, not so great, even with both tablet + keyboard + on it never indicates "full"
[13:13] <Corsac> how long did you let it charge?
[13:13] <cmcmanis> Its been plugged in (off and on) for about 36 hrs now
[13:13] <tommd> Corsac: Yes
[13:13] <Corsac> tommd: hmhm and what's the mail?
[13:13] <Corsac> cmcmanis: and how much charged is it?

[13:24] <dpb> iirc that's an x86 thing
[13:25] <cmcmanis> aye but sometimes linux uses the x86 name for things outside of x86 ;-) But so far I cannot tell how much charge is in my battery
[13:26] <cmcmanis> but 'echo 100 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/brightness' did wonders for readability
[13:26] <dpb> cmcmanis: x86 != arm
[13:27] <cmcmanis> I know dpb, that is why I said "outside of x86" I meant to describe non x86 systems which were running software that had originally developed assuming that x86 was everywhere

[14:43] <hyc_tb> they probably should have made *nix access a requirement for getting one of the beta deliveries...
[14:51] <hyc> I got 8 hours, not 12
[14:51] <hyc> the current kernel doesn't have all of the power management features turned on
[14:52] <hyc> probably because some of them are still broken
[14:52] * yoru (n=yoru@p5DDFB060.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[14:52] <hyc> dpb: the TB hardware is obviously not identical to the BeagleBoard. Kernels for each are definitely not interchangeable.
[14:53] <Corsac> hyc: didn't you fixed that already?
[14:53] <Corsac> hyc: I'm expecting you to fix that before I receive mine!
[14:53] <hyc> the assignment of peripherals to ports is not the same. the init sequences are different.
[14:54] <hyc> I built a kernel with all the powersave stuff turned on, and then I had problems with the USB hub
[14:54] <hyc> apparently it would have its power turned down during boot, and then it didn't have enough power to initialize
[14:55] <hyc> yeah I think so
[14:55] <hyc> also there's no cpu frequency governors, so it always runs at full speed
[14:56] <hyc> or, if the CPU has its own speed control (which actually I'm sure it does) it doesn't tell the kernel about its changes.
[14:57] <hyc> yeah, with proper speed control you could probably double the useful runtime
[14:57] <hyc> but there's a lot of work going on in the 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 kernel here
[14:57] <Corsac> no
[14:57] <hyc> so some of this is just waiting on a newer merge. Gregoire and Koen were coordinating on that.
[14:58] <Corsac> don't even think about wasting your time for that
[14:58] <hyc> a lot of the patches in AI's kernel recipe are already integrated in the 2.6.31 kernel
[14:58] <robclark> hyc: maybe we should setup a git tree for TB kernel? W/ the all the extra TB patches
[14:58] <Corsac> that'd be nice
[14:58] <hyc> robclark: yeah, I asked Gregoire about that
[14:58] <Corsac> along with all the other sources, anyway
[14:58] <Corsac> no
[14:58] <robclark> I kinda want to pull in some of the stuff going on on linux-omap kernel (or at least branch w/ DSS2 driver and v4l2 display driver added
[14:59] <Corsac> touchbook update needs to handle *stable* updates
[14:59] <Corsac> tested ones etc.
[14:59] <robclark> no idea about tb updater.. but you probably don't want to touch this kernel for a while ;-)
[14:59] <Corsac> at one point, the TB will be used by regular end user :)
[14:59] <robclark> not if you want working stuff ;-)
[14:59] <hyc> robclark: yeah, me too. but at this point it would be duplicating effort, since koen is already into it.
[14:59] <robclark> oh, ok
[14:59] <robclark> actually, I just saw koen a few minutes ago
[15:00] <robclark> I guess he's visiting Dallas
[15:00] <hyc> yep.
[15:00] <hyc> then you might see Gregoire too
[15:00] <Corsac> is Gr??goire in dallas?
[15:00] <robclark> ahh, cool..
[15:00] <hyc> he had a meeting with Koen yesterday
[15:00] <robclark> probably not if it was on a TI campus
[15:01] <robclark> but we do have an espresso machine here.. it's almost as good
[15:01] <hyc> uh.. almost, except that there's no wine, and no cheese. :P

[15:02] <Corsac> filing bugs is ok, fixing bugs is better!
[15:02] <hyc> Macer: that's an odd one. I'll have to boot back one of my old images and check again. it was working easily before.
[15:02] <robclark> btw, unrelated question hyc... I can't seem to get wifi working with unlisted wireless networks..
[15:02] <robclark> I had same issue last night until I changed my wireless router to advertise the network name
[15:03] <robclark> is that a known issue?
[15:03] <hyc> hm, I haven't tried that.
[15:03] <hyc> yes, all the networking stuff is written in python
[15:04] <hyc> robclark: since it seems none of us have tested it, no, not a known issue.
[15:04] <robclark> oh, ok
[15:04] <hyc> robclark: do you know how to connect to a hidden network manually? if so, we can probably patch the script pretty quick
[15:04] <hyc> Macer: my G1Tether had no encryption key
[15:05] <Corsac> well, just give the essid to iw or wpa_supplicant
[15:05] <hyc> so it should have just associated immediately
[15:05] <robclark> not really.. all my other linux machines are desktops, so I never really played w/ wireless on linux
[15:05] <robclark> (although if you know a good doc, point me at it and I'll figure it out)
[15:05] <cmcmanis> wireless + linux = cesspool
[15:05] <hyc> cmcmanis: true
[15:06] <cmcmanis> Not intentionally, I just think many hands, many ideas, many integrations, ...
[15:06] <hyc> many ideas that aren't well thought out
[15:06] <Corsac> I use wicd and it works pretty fine
[15:06] <hyc> NetworkManager is a royal pain
[15:06] <Corsac> it's a bit rough, but doesn't get in my way
[15:06] <hyc> wicd usually works
[15:06] <Corsac> (which is the major drawback of nm, imho)
[15:06] <hyc> I've been battling NM for months. keep submitting bug reports and patches, patches keep getting rejected.
[15:07] <hyc> Macer: yeah, that works pretty well
[15:07] <hyc> I was thinking of rewriting the AI manager to just use wpa_supplicant for everything
[15:07] <hyc> it would streamline it a bit too, i think.
[15:07] <hyc> no, it stores its settings in /etc/networkdaemon.conf or something
[15:07] <hyc> I had to add the wpa_supplicant bits to it, for WPA support
[15:08] <hyc> before that it only used iwconfig
[15:08] <robclark> ahh, that is where the network settings are hidden
[15:08] <robclark> was looking for wpa_supplicant.conf
[15:08] <hyc> it creates a temporary wpa_supplicant.conf in /var/run
[15:09] * MADgood (n=ai@129-2-175-106.wireless.umd.edu) has joined #touchbook
[15:09] <hyc> well, it recreates it whenever you rerun the manager
[15:09] <hyc> just read the script, it's not like any of this is hidden
[15:11] <hyc> I use C exclusively on my own projects
[15:12] <hyc> but when I stumble into someone else's I just use what they used
[15:12] <Corsac> yeah, python is really nice for some stuff
[15:12] <Corsac> like scapy
[15:12] <robclark> when in Rome..
[15:12] <hyc> (with some exceptions. rtmpdump was written in C++, and died miserably on the TB. I had to rewrite parts of it in plain C to make it work.)
[15:13] <Corsac> xfce4-battery-plugin
[15:13] <robclark> well, hyc, I'll try to figure more about the wireless stuff later.. I gotta finish up some stuff before I leave work

[15:19] <hyc> but how many of them just want to write/port their own app and start selling it, vs wanting to work on the base OS
[15:19] <hyc> for development, I guess.
[15:19] <hyc> you could always shell out the $1500 for the 3530EVM :P
[15:20] <hyc> the TB is just the first of probably many ARM-based netbooks
[15:20] <cmcmanis> I've taken to calling my TB "soopa Chumby!"
[15:20] <hyc> and given the N900 and other OMAP3 machines, I'd say there's potential for a larger software ecosystem
[15:21] <Corsac> yeah
[15:21] <Corsac> hope we'll have some news from the maemo summit about availability

[18:50] <martinh> supposedly they have a plastic piece in production that you'll be able to glue on.
[18:51] <martinh> I imagine an extra foot like thing.

[18:57] <shtylman> I think more weight on the base will be a better fix
[18:58] <shtylman> the foot will be good for tables
[18:58] <shtylman> but for laps and whatnot .. the proper aplication of physics will do :)
[19:07] <martinh> except, it's already pushing heavy.
[19:07] <shtylman> oh its deff heavy
[19:08] * GUido-- is now known as GUido-
[19:08] <shtylman> is there a software repository for it? anything like apt? or yum?
[19:08] <shtylman> I imagine not...
[19:08] <shtylman> but wasn't sure if I overlooked something
[19:12] <martinh> ipkg
[19:16] <shtylman> cool
[19:17] <shtylman> does the os show the sd card under /dev ?

[19:18] <shtylman> ahh heh
[19:20] <shtylman> now...wonder if this thing will boot ubuntu...and with how much pain :/ ... u-boot still has to be used I assume...
[19:21] <shtylman> or can grub2 pull it off...
[19:22] <shtylman> u-boot seems to be what I want...
[19:22] <shtylman> just need to figure out how to use it :)

[19:47] <shtylman> whats the best way to get battery readings?
[19:47] <shtylman> damn thing had been charging all day ... im curious to know where it is at
[19:49] <martinh> was it on?
[19:50] <martinh> there's stuff in the forums about a battery monitor that might make it into a release soon.
[19:51] <shtylman> yea it is/was on
[19:51] <shtylman> I saw the stuff on the forums
[19:51] <martinh> in the meantime, /sys/class/power_supply has two dirs that reflect the battery's state.
[19:51] <shtylman> is there no way in console yet?
[19:51] <shtylman> ahh
[19:51] <shtylman> thats what I want :)
[19:51] <martinh> cat */uevent in that dir seems to give the best info.
[19:51] <martinh> but, i'm not a hundred percent sure how to read it.
[19:52] <shtylman> k
[19:54] <shtylman> my touchbook screen poweres off every once in a while...is this a known bug?
[19:54] <shtylman> or a setting I can alter?
[19:54] <shtylman> (when I am using it, it powers off)
[19:54] <martinh> it's a bug. fn-f7 brings it back.
[19:56] <shtylman> gotcha
[20:01] <robclark_tb> martinh: cool, thx, I was seeing same issue w/ screen powering off
[20:02] <shtylman> the magnets are insane...I nearly lost a finger then two got too close and *re-connected*

[22:38] <coonsta> My TB arrived today :S
[22:38] <coonsta> Is this window manager a joke? How am I supposed to manipulate maximized windows? I can't touch the edge of the screen because of the bezel.
[22:38] <hyc_tb> you still need u-boot
[22:39] <hyc_tb> unless you want to try reprogramming the on-chip NAND. not a smart idea...
[22:40] <hyc_tb> yeah, the bezel really gets in the way
[22:40] <hyc_tb> likewise the lip of the keyboard really gets in the way of the spacebar
[22:46] * Macer files another bug
[22:46] <hyc_tb> that's the way it's supposed to work - file bugs...
[22:47] <hyc_tb> they can't know what to look at if you don't give feedback

[23:17] <drantin> isn't that what the ability to flip it into an upside down V is for?
[23:17] <drantin> you didn't get one?
[23:17] <drantin> mm...
[23:18] <drantin> buy a music stand :D
[23:19] <Corsac> Macer: xfce4-battery-plugin won't work?
[23:20] <Corsac> (though it'll only work for one battery)
[23:21] <dpb> The battery meter is just software, and the OS is still very beta. When will you understand that? :)
[23:22] <drantin> is there nothing in /proc that has a percentage?
[23:23] <snlemons> Macer: can't invoke the 3D interface in docked mode?
[23:24] <snlemons> Macer: oh, sure. kind of a pain, but it'd be something.
[23:27] <dpb> It will most likely be there at some OS update.
[23:27] <dpb> More quickly if someone contributes it.
[23:28] <dpb> Just see how the 3d interface does it, and make an applet for it yourself ;)
[23:29] <dpb> shtylman: I don't have a Touchbook yet, but I'm working on getting Ubuntu running on a beagleboard currently, the same image should work pretty easily with the touchbook too
[23:29] <snlemons> scared? I can't imagine anything less scary. :-P
[23:30] <dpb> python is quite nice.
[23:30] <snlemons> <3 python
[23:32] <snlemons> Macer: well, there's your battery meter ;)
[23:33] <snlemons> that's what I have my phone do, too. saves battery and signals that it's charge time.
