[0:10] <jod> hey, anyone knows when will be touchbook with black cover? :P
[0:12] <dpb> Hopefully never, the red is nice.
[0:13] <jod> i like black :P
[0:14] <jod> with red cover, I would look strange :D
[0:15] <dpb> *if* it ever comes, it'll most likely take a while. Maybe the next device they release.
[0:20] <jod> but this is far future, right? :D

[0:27] <jod> I have one question about speed, how fast is touchbook with 256MB RAM? :P

[0:53] <hyc> they haven't even gotten out all the orders for the current device... I guess a black case would be nice, a bit more subtle
[0:54] <jvs> yeah
[0:54] <jvs> black and aluminium

[1:10] <jod> allways inovating sent me an email that touchbook is not available in my country ;(
[1:10] <leinir> jod: which country is that?
[1:11] <jod> Slovak Republic :-/
[1:11] <leinir> Ah... i think it may be that stupid American export legislation...
[1:12] <leinir> Can you order it to someone nearby, and either pick it up there or have them forward it to you?
[1:15] <jod> but is available for Czech Republic beside us
[1:15] <jod> maybe I can ask AI to add my country to the list in order form :-/
[1:23] <leinir> Give it a shot :)
[1:24] <leinir> alexandre: something you can help with permayhaps? :)
[1:33] * Vito89 (n=quassel@gw.loccal.net) Quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
[1:49] <jvs> jod, I'm from Austria and received my device
[1:50] <jvs> slovakia has joined the EU in 2004
[1:50] <jvs> why shouldn't they ship to Slovakia then?
[1:51] <jod> yop
[1:53] <jod> I will send an email with a request
[1:55] <jod> alexandre: it is possible to send touchbook to the slovak republic? :)
[1:56] <jvs> why is it not possible?
[2:13] <jod> I think, AI haven't from my country any requests or orders

[7:38] <reis> can anyone tell me what this kernel-patch for aufs partition4 over partition2 is actually for?
[7:38] <reis> is there a problem with using an initramfs architecture?
[7:38] <Meizirkki> when you have the rootfs on squashfs drive, the OS is easy to revert
[7:38] <Meizirkki> just wipe the etx3 partition
[7:39] <Meizirkki> s/etx/ext/
[7:39] <reis> yes, but couldn't that be realised using a custom linuxrc script?
[7:39] <reis> it is really a burden to point the kernel to another root or init
[7:39] <Meizirkki> (i am not working at AI)
[7:39] <reis> hehe np
[7:40] <Meizirkki> 3 partition SD works too
[7:40] <Meizirkki> i have ubuntu rootfs on the second parition ext3
[7:40] <Meizirkki> and 3rd swap

[7:40] <reis> ah, so you can boot using your custom 2nd parition?
[7:41] * Q_Continuum (n=Q_Contin@75-168-106-250.mpls.qwest.net) has joined #touchbook
[7:41] <Meizirkki> yup
[7:41] <reis> nice thanks Meizirkki
[7:41] <reis> !
[7:41] <Meizirkki> :)
[7:42] <reis> i thaught that maybe the kernel just crashes when there is no fourth partition to be mounted over the 2nd one

[9:56] <tommie1> I talk to someone about the procedure for returning a defective tb?
[10:00] <Q_Continuum> you'll have to wait around, most of the people in here aren't sitting at their keyboards.
[10:00] <Q_Continuum> This is mostly a discussion channel, but I know sometimes there's some TB reps in here.
[10:01] <Q_Continuum> Might do better to email them as well, on their contact page.
[10:02] * churl (n=churl@adsl-074-184-019-224.sip.asm.bellsouth.net) has joined #touchbook
[10:03] <churl> hello everyone! still waiting the touchbook to get here today!
[10:03] <tommie1> i do!
[10:03] <tommie1> already done
[10:05] * tommie1 (n=tommy@net-93-144-141-172.t2.dsl.vodafone.it) has left #touchbook
[10:06] <churl> can the touchbook support a 64gb sd card?
[10:08] <Q_Continuum> the SDHC spec is limited to 32GB, I thought.
[10:09] <churl> ok, i figured it didn't support 64gb, but was having trouble finding that kind of info
[10:09] <Q_Continuum> So the biggest would be 32GB.
[10:09] <churl> (maybe overlooked it on their site)
[10:09] <Q_Continuum> now, USB drives...those have no theoretical limit.
[10:09] <Q_Continuum> So the single empty internal slot, you could get one as you have funds for :-D
[10:10] <churl> awesome, im very excited to get mine, really hope it comes today
[10:10] <churl> any BIG issues with the beta?
[10:11] <churl> ive read a few people having issues with the os it ships with
[10:13] <churl> also, is there a site where people are posting the neat things they are doing with their touchbooks? A site to keep up to date with the latest touchbook news?

[10:23] <FIN__Master> there is the official forum and still quite modest www.innovatingtouch.com
[10:26] <churl> cool thanks, ill check it out now

[10:40] <FIN__Master> _koen_: I feel the same. Wouldn't one big forum be better than many small..
[10:49] <Martix> churl: when did you ordered TB?
[10:49] <churl> Martix: ebay :)
[10:50] <Meizirkki> There was also something like touchbookfans.com
[10:51] <Meizirkki> but i left the site, it was full of spam
[10:51] <churl> im there right now
[10:51] <churl> not much info
[10:52] <Martix> I have Touchbook section on http://forum.openmoko.cz it's czech only, but I think international english forum should be only one

[11:39] <churl> ok usps guy just brought it
[11:40] <Q_Continuum> nice
[11:40] <Q_Continuum> I wish I could afford a touchbook :-( I almost bought one of those $189 netbooks from Newegg on Friday. $200 I can justify...$400 is still expensive for me right now :-(

[11:44] <Q_Continuum> to what?
[11:44] <Q_Continuum> the $189 netbook was a friday-only deal
[11:44] <Q_Continuum> they sold out quickly
[11:45] <churl> too bad
[11:45] <churl> how did you hear about it?
[11:46] <churl> or was it just one of those after thanksgiving sales (aka buy nothing day)
[11:46] <Q_Continuum> yeah
[11:46] <Q_Continuum> one of the 'Black Friday' doorbuster deals.

[17:25] * julien_BLUG (n=julien@114.240.66.219) Quit ("88")
[17:26] <volatile1> I need help creating the partitions and files on the sd-card
[17:27] <volatile1> I didnt like the angstrom linux and I knew I could easily reset the sd-card so I didnt make a backup
[17:27] <volatile1> Now the touchbook wont boot, it always makes the weird fading screen
[17:27] <volatile1> I tried resetting the sd-card on my pc
[17:28] <volatile1> I tried installing Debian onto the card using qemu
[17:28] <volatile1> and so on
[17:31] <volatile1> Right now I have 3 partitions on the sd. First is 40mb fat32 with boot and lba flag, second is 6.7gb ext3 and third is 776mb swap
[17:31] <volatile1> Anything wrong with that?
[17:56] <hyc> the AIOS kernel and boot scripts expect 4 partitions
[17:57] <hyc> 2nd should be the root filesystem in a squashfs
[17:57] <hyc> 4th should be ext3
[17:57] <volatile1> Okay
[17:58] <volatile1> So Debian and others use different partitions
[18:28] <volatile1> Great -.- The windows tool for resetting the sd-card just erases everything
[18:28] <volatile1> When I run it and check the card with gparted it doesnt have any partitions

[21:43] <churl> hi, i got my touchbook today, should it take about 2-5 minutes for touch input to respond?
[21:47] <volatile> o0
[21:47] <volatile> Guess not
[21:47] <churl> the processor seems to max out on any little thing
[21:48] <churl> i think im one update behind, not sure how much that matters
[21:48] <volatile> Dont know about that, I erased mine because I didnt like dhe OS :D
[21:48] <churl> what are you running?
[21:49] <volatile> Nothing right now, I will be running Debian
[21:49] <volatile> First I have to figure out how to get it running again :-/
[21:49] <churl> what DE?
[21:49] <volatile> DE?
[21:50] <churl> desktop enviroment
[21:50] <volatile> Openbox
[21:50] <churl> :)
[21:50] <volatile> Got it running on my EEE PC sind more than a year and I like it ;)
[21:51] <churl> the touchbook detected the home network just fine, but couldnt stream video
[21:52] <churl> the touchbook is running slower than my n800
[21:52] * Zopper (n=wampyr_w@ip4-83-240-68-155.cust.nbox.cz) has joined #touchbook
[21:52] <volatile> Yeah, I was disappointed too
[21:52] <volatile> With the original software it crashed every 5 minutes
[21:53] <Zopper> volatile: Me too
[21:53] <Zopper> With ubuntu it is much better
[21:53] <churl> i know it's beta, but i just wish more people were up front about how little you can do with it
[21:53] <volatile> Like boot without Keyboad - crash. Turn the screen in Tablet mode - crash. Play the tank game and calibrate the sensor - crash and so on and so on
[21:53] <churl> ok, ive done all that too, good to know
[21:54] <churl> i feel better now
[21:54] <volatile> :)
[21:54] <volatile> What do you think about the overall quality?
[21:54] <volatile> The materials and stuff
[21:54] <Zopper> I have kernel panics randomly on AI OS
[21:54] <Zopper> overall quality is good
[21:55] <volatile> Hm, maybe mine is a bad one?
[21:55] <churl> i want to love it, but it's not quite at my minimal expectations
[21:55] <volatile> ack
[21:55] <churl> it's like a DIY kit build for me
[21:56] <churl> kinda shake'y, but it works fine
[21:56] <Zopper> I think, are here somethings, that would be better (keyboard layout for example)
[21:56] <churl> oh yeah, no right thumb for the space bar
[21:57] <volatile> Cant reach close button or so with touchscreen because the frame is so thick, if you open it like a normal netbook it falls over, the hinge su**s, a solderpoint on the mainboard was missing, touchscreen needs mutch pressure and so on
[21:57] <volatile> And Im always feared of breaking those tiny plastic thing that hold the tablet
[21:58] <churl> can you use the keyboard with the screen detached?
[21:59] <volatile> You mean wireless?
[21:59] <volatile> I dont think so
[21:59] <churl> ok
[21:59] <volatile> Maybe you could mod it
[22:00] <volatile> It just needs a bluetooth dongle
[22:00] <volatile> ;)
[22:00] <churl> i read something that was misleading
[22:00] <churl> what comes stock in the internal usb besides wifi?
[22:01] <volatile> bluetooth?
[22:01] <volatile> The tiny thing?
[22:01] <volatile> Thats bt
[22:01] <churl> that little thing?
[22:01] <churl> thought so
[22:02] <volatile> They should have soldered the usb-ports reversed
[22:02] <churl> yeah, i was a little let down

[22:03] <volatile> now the leds from usb-sticks and so on are on the wrong side, and a umts stick doesnt fit
[22:04] <volatile> But hey, I guess when the touchbook becomes popular apple grabs the design and sells it in an aluminium case with mac os for 1500 $
[22:04] <volatile> ;)
[22:04] <churl> i just wish i could load a web page under 5 minutes
[22:04] <volatile> :D
[22:04] <volatile> http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Reinstall_OS#Linux Tried this?
[22:05] <churl> tried nothing
[22:05] <volatile> If you do something with the sd card make a back up before
[22:05] <volatile> I didnt because I knew I could easily restore it with another pc
[22:06] <volatile> Yeah, it just doesnt work :/

[22:07] <churl> do you know what kind of code that's written in?
[22:08] <volatile> No, I didnt check
[22:08] <volatile> I tried the recovery tool on windows
[22:08] <churl> i wouldnt know, a script, i guess
[22:08] <churl> good info to know thank you much
[22:08] <volatile> It said it finished succesfully, but when I checked the sd-card with gparted it was just empty, not a single partition
[22:08] <churl> that's weird
[22:09] <volatile> And of course the touchbook didnt do anything but fade the screen weird
[22:09] <churl> i believe it
[22:09] <FIN__Master> i havent got the scripts to work either
[22:09] <volatile> which os?
[22:09] <FIN__Master> but i have installed the os many times manually
[22:10] <FIN__Master> linux and windows
[22:10] <volatile> Okay
[22:10] <FIN__Master> i have formatted with gparted and copied the files manually and everything works that way
[22:10] <volatile> Im running Windows 7 64bit, I thought thats was the problem, but if you cant use it either
[22:11] <FIN__Master> I suggest you to try virtualbox with kubuntu karmic. Its really wasy
[22:11] <FIN__Master> *easy
[22:11] <volatile> I tried to install debian on the sd-card using a debian pc and qemu
[22:11] <volatile> Didnt work
[22:12] <volatile> I tried preparing the sd-card with ubuntu and install it in the touchbook
[22:12] <volatile> Didnt work
[22:12] <volatile> I used a virtual box with debian and tried qemu again with another card reader
[22:12] <volatile> Didnt work
[22:13] <FIN__Master> One of the most important things I've learned is that you Must copy the mlo file First to the boot partition
[22:13] <FIN__Master> if you dont it doesnt matter what else have you done
[22:14] <volatile> thx
[22:14] <volatile> Nice to know if none of the howtos tell you :/
[22:14] <FIN__Master> i always umount the card after copying mlo so that im sure its the first file in the partition
[22:15] <FIN__Master> Theres some topic at the forums someone told that and another where i told someone the same thing but the forums are becoming another offtopic paradise
[22:15] <volatile> :D
[22:17] <volatile> Okay, my virtual box is running
[22:17] <volatile> first partition fat32 50mb boot flag
[22:18] <volatile> second ext3 some gb
[22:18] <volatile> third swap
[22:18] <volatile> Is that correct?
[22:18] <FIN__Master> sounds right
[22:20] <drantin> the linux install script is written in bash
[22:20] <volatile> wtf... I just created the partitions on the sd-card, debian mounted them automatically and the have their original files on them?!
[22:21] <volatile> But no mlo
[22:21] <FIN__Master> hmm. weird
[22:22] <FIN__Master> gparted should format them properly = empty
[22:22] <volatile> gparted didnt but quit with an error
[22:23] <volatile> Doesnt matter anyway, Im killing the files right now ;)
[22:25] <FIN__Master> another important thing i have run into is that when copying files to the card, sometimes the file permissions change
[22:25] <volatile> okay
[22:27] <volatile> o0 now gparted needs >6 minutes for mkfs.ext3 ?
[22:29] <volatile> Looks like the card reader does something on his own
[22:30] <FIN__Master> i thinks all those things are cursed :) i've had so much problems with umounting the card with usb reader
[22:30] <volatile> Yeah... :/
[22:31] <volatile> Why didnt they put a Western Digital Velociraptor into the touchbook? Would have improved performance *gg*
[22:33] <volatile> okay, partitions are done
[22:36] * edt (n=Ed@dsl-216-221-38-140.aei.ca) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[22:39] <FIN__Master> are you going to use the install script or copy by hand
[22:40] <volatile> I want to install Debian
[22:40] <volatile> But first I have to get the damn thing booting
[22:40] <volatile> If it does I will use qemu to set the sd-card up
[22:41] <volatile> FIN__Master: I got the mlo and dropped it into the 50mb partition
[22:41] * DJWillis (i=djwillis@82-46-19-72.cable.ubr02.bath.blueyonder.co.uk) has joined #touchbook
[22:42] <volatile> What now?
[22:42] <FIN__Master> if you copy that first and then the other two files to the boot image, will it show the ai logo when booting
[22:42] <volatile> initrd and vmlinuz?
[22:43] <FIN__Master> mm
[22:43] <FIN__Master> u-boot and uimage
[22:43] <volatile> hmkay
[22:53] <volatile> FIN__Master: Sorry to stress you but it wont boot :(
[22:53] <FIN__Master> hmm. quite strange
[22:53] <volatile> mlo, u-boot.bin and uImage are in fat32 partition
[22:54] <volatile> And I get nothing but the weird fading screen
[22:54] <volatile> boot flag is set
[22:55] <FIN__Master> Everything should be fine so i dont know what to do :(
[22:56] <volatile> god damnit
[22:58] <volatile> I havent slept since 24 hours and I wont until this thing rund
[22:59] <FIN__Master> :)
[23:00] <FIN__Master> someone at the forums could know what to do but its probably not the best time to ask now
[23:00] <volatile> Its 8:00 in the morning here in Germany ;)
[23:01] <volatile> But I guess most users are not located here
[23:01] <FIN__Master> I know. Im from finland. But europeans are going to work and american are sleeping
[23:01] <volatile> Yeah
[23:02] <FIN__Master> I should go to the university also but im still so sleepy :)

[23:07] <FIN__Master> ive studied actively for 3 years but i had couple of years with studying while at work
[23:07] <volatile> Okay
[23:09] <FIN__Master> Buying the tb was really good for me because i had to get linux running at home and its causing so much trouble to solve :)
[23:09] <volatile> Yeah, Im not to good in Linux too
[23:10] <volatile> My eee pc runs ubuntu but it never had a problem
[23:10] <FIN__Master> my tb is now running ubuntu and its working quite well

[23:11] <volatile> My PC is running debian and it doesnt work at all :D
[23:11] <volatile> It had ubuntu, but I killed it somehow
[23:12] <volatile> Then long time I only used Windows
[23:12] <volatile> Then the new Ubuntu would not work
[23:12] <volatile> And I always kill my Debian :D

[23:13] <FIN__Master> i know have my pc booting either win7 or kubuntu karmic and kubuntu seems quite easy
[23:14] * volatile doesnt like KDE ;)
[23:15] <FIN__Master> i dont really know yet what to like but i was told its good :D Its a war out there when asking someone what de to use
[23:15] <volatile> Openbox ftw
[23:16] <volatile> Id like to try awesome but it looks like work to learn it so I didnt really try it yet :D
[23:19] <FIN__Master> if you want to test ubuntu with tb, i can up an image with lxde, kde and xfce4
[23:19] <FIN__Master> you just need to run some script with it to install
[23:19] <volatile> That would be great
[23:19] <volatile> lxde please ;)
[23:20] <FIN__Master> it has finnish locals but its easy to install new ones :)
[23:20] <volatile> :)
[23:25] <FIN__Master> i Could upload that If my win7 could open file manager :)
[23:26] <volatile> Windows sucks
[23:26] <volatile> Linux sucks
[23:26] <volatile> Mac sucks
[23:26] <volatile> :D
[23:28] <dpb> openbox sucks
[23:29] <leinir> every os sucks ;)

[23:30] <leinir> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d85p7JZXNy8 <-- there, every os sucks ;)
[23:33] <volatile> :D
[23:34] <FIN__Master> I liked the C-64 os
[23:35] * volatile has a C64 next to him
[23:35] <volatile> And a 1541 ;)
[23:36] <FIN__Master> i have a genuine C-64 screen. Its the only one i've ever seen/heard :) I should get my c-64 running once again
[23:36] <volatile> Yeah :)
[23:38] <FIN__Master> if i make a new image to ubuntu, should i make that one with only lxde with it? i use xfce4 myself with tb..
[23:38] <FIN__Master> damn i ilke computers. Now i cant even start kubuntu in virtualbox. It crashes on boot
[23:38] <volatile> I dont mind if it has more than lxde
[23:38] <FIN__Master> *like
[23:39] <volatile> If you can upload it fast enough... ;)
[23:39] <dpb> I use dwm on my Ubuntu.
[23:39] <FIN__Master> I could upload it faster than dropbox but its easier this way: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2444982/armel-rootfs-200911281927.tgz
[23:40] <FIN__Master> thats the one with finnish locals and lxde/kde/xfce4
[23:40] <volatile> thx
[23:40] <FIN__Master> ill make another one someday when i get the vb running kubuntu again
