Log from #neuros IRC channel

Car mode (enabled through the Xtra gear menu). It turns the Neuros off when it stops getting power from the car adapter. So, in car mode, and you turn off your car, the Neuros will turn off too.

[01:05]

<DeepB>

was that what you wanted?

[01:06]

<Rez>

where's the xtra gear menu?

[01:06]

<DeepB>

under settings

[01:07]

<Rez>

in the standard firmware?

[01:07]

nope

[01:08]

<Rez>

ah.

[01:08]

<Rez>

how's it know it's getting powered by the car adapter and not a wall wart?

[01:08]

it won't

[01:10]

<Rez>

and I can switch back to the original firmware whenever?

[01:11]

you can enable/disable car mode whenever you want, and, of course, switch back to the original firmware as well

[01:12]

<Rez>

ok, so where's your firmware?

[01:13]

neuros-firmware.sourceforge.net

[01:13]

but i'm afraid it will take a few hours to update the public CVS

[01:14]

<Rez>

so it's not in one of your currently released ones?

[01:15]

yes, it is, in the latest one

[01:16]

but the link is not updated yet

[01:16]

<Rez>

k. so where's that at?

[01:17]

it's up already, but it takes time to refresh

[01:17]

i mean, i've comitted it a few minutes ago, but the public CVS refreshes every six hours or so

[01:19]

<Rez>

you're commiting binaries to cvs?

[01:20]

yeah

[01:20]

<Rez>

ah. well darn, I was hoping to install in soonish

[01:21]

i tried to attach it to the wiki

[01:21]

but this damn thing refuses to work

hi paul

[01:40]

hey Gar, how goes it?

[01:41]

ever had the feeling your system will lock up when ripping a defective cd? that's my mood, right now

[01:42]

heh, I know that one. Radioheads Hail to the Theif was the last Non-CD I bought.

[01:43]

how do you call a bullfighting arena in english?

[01:43]

that's 'Plaza de Toros' in spanish

[01:44]

erm, a Bullfighting Arena.

[01:44]

has joined #neuros

[01:45]

ok, then i saw them at the Bilbao's Bullfighting arena when that CD came out

[01:45]

Nice, I saw RH at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in April

[01:45]

Most amazing show I've ever seen.

[01:46]

yeah, i loved it

[01:46]

Have to admit, I cried during Idioteque and Exit Music (For a film).

[01:47]

you're completely forgiven man

[01:47]

:o)

[01:47]

let me dig a link for you...

heard of RodeoHead?

no.

I often check out greenplastic/

[01:49]

it's extremely funny

[01:50]

Nice.

[01:50]

Anything happening on the fw front?

[01:50]

.7 released

[01:51]

lots of bugs in it, worst release ever

[01:51]

yeah, noticed that, not sure I want to try it without the animations :o)

[01:52]

*Bugger*, neuros USB cable missing.

[01:52]

are many people aside from yourself adding things gar?

[01:53]

excellent, l lost my mouse

[01:53]

that CD is surely from hell

[01:53]

(to the firmware I mean)

[01:53]

Ahem, it's a Non-CD :o)

[01:54]

the CopyControlled stuff actually violates the CDDA standard.

[01:54]

so you can't actually call them CD's.

[01:54]

i don't think so, at least not contributing

[01:54]

but not many people seem to care.

[01:54]

hmm, we really need to get the ti-gcc project up and running.

[01:55]

it's a plain burned CD, but scratched to death

[01:55]

oh.

[01:55]

I"ve never had trouble with scratched CD's locking things up.

[01:56]

www.koreus.com

[01:56]

only the copy controlled ones.

[01:56]

that's the link i wanted to show you

[01:57]

RodeoHead: ETA 23:50

[01:57]

:o( I need broadband.

[01:57]

but i'm a sluggish idiot without a mouse, so i'm slow...

[01:57]

shit... that's insane

[01:58]

not insane :oP just good old dialup.

[01:59]

anyway, I'll stop cluttering up the logs with useless banter.

Well, I've been trying to get my Neuros to mount in Linux for the last few days. I'm getting this error when I fsck it: dosfsck 2.10, 22 Sep 2003, FAT32, LFN Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 255.

[03:13]

<pwarren_afk>

yurk. not a good idea to use dosfsck.

[03:14]

chkdsk /f it on a windope machine

[03:14]

<pwarren_afk>

what GarBage said.

[03:15]

Using the 'fsck' command on Linux.

[03:15]

heard the rednecks song?

[03:15]

it's awesome ;)

[03:15]

GarBage: Sure have laughed my arse off!

[03:16]

ncterval: Don't. It's not mature enough to guaruntee against data loss.

[03:16]

you can even hear the air flowing on the gaps of the toothless guy ;)

[03:16]

Alright... I was just probing for erros (such as what I got), not do any partitioning.

[03:16]

hehe. yeah. was really good. I'll be passing that one on.

[03:17]

ncterval: Does it mount under linux for you?

[03:17]

No, which is my problem.

[03:18]

ah, what's the kernel/distro etc.

[03:18]

Syslog gives me the following when trying to mount: Dec 10 21:17:07 localhost kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 65535 Dec 10 21:17:07 localhost kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 08:01.

[03:18]

Debian sid, 2.4x, x86

[03:20]

hmm, that is odd. Have you tried formatting (from the neuros)

[03:20]

ie 1+5+Play.

[03:21]

I formatted the NAND, hope I don't have to do the HDD :(

[03:22]

<Yono>

has joined #neuros

[03:22]

Tested it as working on a Windo...pe machine, by the way.

[03:22]

are you using -t vfat?

[03:24]

Well, how does my fstab entry look? /dev/sda1 /mnt/Media/Neuros vfat rw,user,noauto,noexec,umask=0 0 0

[03:24]

looks good to me.

[03:25]

i'd chkdsk it on first sight

[03:25]

yeah, stick it back on the windows box and chkdsk.

[03:25]

<Yono>

GarBage, you got car mode working?

[03:25]

yeah

[03:26]

<Yono>

awesome, time to update and build

[03:26]

Hmmm, had to pull some strings to use that Windows machine in the first place. Is there an equivalent *nix utility?

[03:26]

unfortunately not.

[03:26]

not as accurate and reliable

[03:28]

neways, I've got an open house now, bbl.

[03:28]

www.google.com

[03:29]

those google guys never stop working...

[03:29]

Mmmm, yes, noticed that on /. earlier. Seems cool

[03:29]

yeah, and amazingly fast too

[03:30]

Yes, have they commented on how it works? Does it use a database of past searches, or peform them in real time?

[03:31]

realtime baby, it performs GET HTTP commands as you type

[03:32]

Ridiculous

[03:33]

maybe, but it works, and damn fast

[03:35]

A little buggy outside of Trident or Gecko, though, from what I understand.

[03:35]

Trident?

[03:36]

IE

[03:36]

first time i've heard that

[03:36]

Pretty sure that's the rendering engine's name...

[03:37]

good to know the name, so i can avoid it better

[03:37]

Indeed, en.wikipedia.org

[03:38]

Hah, you're quite the zealot, eh? You also took WMA support out of your FW branch, right?

[03:39]

yeah, on the first build, it returned later for popular demand

[03:41]

<Yono>

GarBage: do you have some way to test fw b4 u kill the neuros?

[03:42]

nope

[03:48]

<Yono>

bummer, I have to get rid of the icons b4 it will let me access car mode it seems

[03:59]

<Koron>

[04:00]

<Yono>

its something you say when you feel let down

[04:00]

ohhh... the trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is out..

[04:01]

phear of the darkest Willy Wonka ever

[04:01]

I definitely NEED Gene Wilder in my Willy Wonka.

[04:04]

hummm... i like the johnny deep & tim burton combo

[04:04]

but yes, Wilder was terriffic as Wonka

[04:06]

<Yono>

hmm I wish I were gorunded

[04:06]

<Yono>

then I could play around with my old, old rio 600

[04:07]

<Yono>

back during the days of 32MB :)

[04:07]

Nice. I used a RioVolt SP90, back when my collection fit on two CDs.

Hello

[05:21]

<noiz>

do you know if GarBage has been on lately?

[05:21]

<noiz>

it shows that he released new firmware, but i think it links to the old version of the firmware

[05:21]

He was on a few minutes ago.

[05:22]

In fact, he was talking about how he just added 'car mode' to his FW. I don't know anything about it, though.

[05:22]

<noiz>

yeah, i wanna try it out

[05:22]

<noiz>

see just how car mode works

[05:27]

Yono mentioned something about having to get rid of icons, if that means anything to you.

[05:37]

<noiz>

yeah, he was freeing up memory i think
