00:15 Punkley_Chillin quiet today :)
00:15 _rmk_ yup
00:18 dotarray Coburn should be in soon.
00:19 dotarray if nothing else, he's good for talking to himself in the third person :)
00:19 _rmk_ umm...
00:20 _rmk_ is he going slightly mad? :)
00:24 dotarray he's another aussie.
00:24 dotarray so... probably.
00:25 Punkley_Chillin i wonder where jnettlet is
00:45 Coburn Good morning, did I miss anything?
00:46 dotarra 00:46 * dotarray chuckles
00:54 Coburn What's that, dotarray?
00:54 Coburn Anyway, today, I'm testing out a Handbrake transcoded high profile video that I got from my HDD recorder.
00:54 Coburn Only 720p, want to see if the CuBox does that
00:55 Coburn Going to torrent a 1080p episode of something and try that
02:34 Coburn Time to stress test my CuBox with some Jeremey Clarkson
02:34 Coburn "What would possibly go wrong"
02:34 Coburn _rmk_:
02:34 Coburn you there?
03:02 Coburn Way to go, I'm talking to myself.
03:02 Coburn Maybe I've lost my sanity.
03:06 Punkley_Chillin you are Aussie, you never had it
03:39 Coburn Why thank you
03:40 Coburn Also, it seems the CuBox doesn't do 720p High Profile with Dolby Pro Logic II audio?
03:40 Coburn Video plays, but not audio.
03:40 Coburn Could be the transcode that I did, used Handbrake
04:03 jnettlet I am here, just working odd hours.
04:08 dotarray_ ah, jnettlet, i'll let Punkley_Chillin know.
04:08 dotarray_ he's downstairs at the moment but will be back up again soon :)
04:08 jnettlet no worries, I still haven't had my coffee yet, so I am pretty useless
04:08 Coburn Coffee used to give me nosebleeds
04:08 Coburn So I switched back to tea
04:11 jnettlet caffeine dehydrates your body so I can understand that
04:11 jnettlet you have to drink lots of water with it
04:11 Punkley_Chillin waves at jnettlet
04:11 Punkley_Chillin did u get the link I sent u?
04:12 jnettlet Punkley_Chillin, I think I missed it
04:12 Punkley_Chillin kk hang 5
04:13 Punkley_Chillin PM
08:04 ralix morning
08:06 ralix last day at work in Germany and then finally back into the warm ... :)
08:06 jnettlet ralix, you aren't from germany?
08:07 ralix However, but on Saturday we go again after jakarta
08:08 jnettle 08:08 * jnettlet is envious
08:08 ralix ;-)
08:10 ralix 2 weeks work, 1 week holiday but not in Jakarta :)
08:39 Punkley_Chillin ralix it was 40/104 here 2 days ago, is that warm enough?
08:46 jnettlet Punkley_Chillin, I was down in Melbourne when the record was set. 46C I think.
08:46 Punkley_Chillin only 46 pfft :)
08:46 Punkley_Chillin i've been up north when it was 50
08:46 Punkley_Chillin that is hot.
08:46 jnettlet A few weeks early we had 5 straight days of 40C+ weather
08:47 Punkley_Chillin we do that every summer :)
08:47 jnettlet I guess it is less common in Melbourne due to the Ocean winds? The locales seemed to think it was a lot.
08:47 Punkley_Chillin heat wave in 2008

08:49 dotarray_ melbournites think 35 is hot, they start melting :)
08:50 ralix Punkley_Chillin, Oh yeah, that's warm enough :)
08:51 ralix Jakarta 31°C at the moment
08:52 Punkley_Chillin i bet it is nice and humid :)
08:52 ralix yes :)
16:37 Batur hi i tested the geexbox devel 20121122 and the latest one. cant get my keyboard (http://goo.gl/HT0qO) to work. error-log: http://pastebin.com/7Er8DbzF
16:37 Batur how can i fix this?
16:46 dung try fsck. should been done automatically after reboot
16:48 dung hmm.. cherry usb keyboard
16:56 Batur where do i have to enter fsck? sorry im new with linux :( can i write it into the putty session? while rebooting there is an error which belongs to the problem i think: http://pastebin.com/TNeaQVvS
16:58 dung do you have another computer with usd slot?
17:00 Batur yes running win 7, can i connect via ssh?
17:01 dung you need to do it manually and unmounted, from a linux terminal
17:02 dung you wrote you tried different geexboxs. an re-install / format does it too
17:06 Batur ok i will try to format and reinstall geexbox at first
17:07 dung you did that before? always with fs error after?
17:10 Batur yes i had the problem with the first geexbox snapshot i installed with the cubox installer, but i didnt checked it with a putty session. but i think it was the same error because the keyboard wasnt working
17:14 dung have you formated the card between?
17:15 dung well, first get around the fs error. then see what's with your keyboard
18:54 Batur dung: fsck found 1 error, fixed it. so no error after rebooting cubox. but when i connect the keyboard i get "usb 1-1: new low-speed USB device number 3 using orion-ehci". keyboard is not working
19:43 dung usb keyboards are noramlly a standard except multimedia. does it work with another kernel, ie from a livecd? maybe you need a cherry driver
19:43 dung *multimedia keys
20:04 dung do you have hid loaded? does it disconnect as before fsck?
20:11 dung Batur: do ssh and 'lsusb' first
20:14 Batur hi im back, just tried to play a 1080p mkv file, to test the performance :) yes with the livecd its working. cable is about 1.5m, led is not on. i did not test it in console will try it via ssh. lsusb is a good idea. hid did not load, just with the usb receiver of my logitech mouse, which works fine
20:16 dung well, keyboard is !important :-/
21:53 dung after chating with Batur, it seems that GeeXboX's kernel doesn't have the hid-cherry.ko
22:00 dung we know now usbhid is compiled in, but without cherry
22:01 dung i believe
22:01 jaapio hi
22:02 jaapio I have a problem with a nfs boot on the cubox
22:02 jaapio It won't load the full kernel image for some reason
23:07 dung what the hack is suse doing. they fight with the bootloader, but don't want to manually touch it. do they try to load pc binaries?
23:08 dung and get over the initrd .. oh my
23:09 dung but it seems cfarrel has found a way that screen displays colors
23:11 dung i couldn't see much in the debian installer, did it nearly blind
23:14 dung i believe you don't want dung here. Batur asks for cherry but has ir_kbd
23:14 dung My ass!
23:15 dung support yourself
23:22 dung excuse me
23:26 dung blind because of scrambled chars
