[05:40] <ivar> ugg. my neuros is in a sorry state
[05:41] <iswm> Yeah mine too. Freakin' backordered.
[05:41] <ivar> i'm not desperate and trying to update the firmware..
[05:41] <ivar> the various docs make it difficult to know how to fix things..
[05:42] <ivar> i'd like to upgrade to the firmware, but for some reason my unit's never recognized as a usb device..
[05:42] <ivar> any hints
[05:42] <ivar> ?
[05:42] <ivar> iswm, could be worse.. you could have a very expensive brick
[05:43] <iswm> Yeah, but I won't know if it's DOA or not until it's no longer backordered. So I can assume the worst.
[05:44] <ivar> hahah.. that's thinking postively
[05:45] <ivar> iswm, have youhad a neuros before ?
[05:45] <iswm> Yeah, I'm a bit upset. They didn't tell me it was backordered until AFTER I ordered it.
[05:45] <iswm> Nope
[05:45] <ivar> where'd you buy it from ?
[05:46] <iswm> Provantage.com
[05:46] <ivar> the service I got from american technpushers was quite good
[05:46] <ivar> i don't know anything about provantage
[05:46] <iswm> Yeah, the only reason I went with them over neurosaudio or americantechpushers was because provantage offered _awesome_ prices.
[05:47] <iswm> But I almost regret it now.
[05:47] <ivar> ooo.. I didn't realize they were cheaper
[05:47] <iswm> Since it won't be here till after Christmas.
[05:47] <ivar> well.. i've had mine for a week but been too busy to load it up
[05:48] <ivar> now that I've got a little bit of time I'm fscking around trying to get it to work
[05:48] <ivar> totally aggrivating, and upsetting
[05:49] <iswm> From what I've heard it's impossible to "brick" a unit. So I'm guessing there's a fix.
[05:49] <ivar> i would hope so
[05:49] <ivar> but the docs generally suck
[05:50] <ivar> like: how do I upgrade firmware... well afaict you have to be recognized as a usb device before you can upgrade
[05:50] <iswm> Unfortunately, I haven't been able to mess with one yet, so I can't really give you any practical help.
[05:50] <ivar> and for some reason I get no usb love.
[05:51] <ivar> well, it's good to rant at someone
[05:52] <ivar> maybe one of the lurkers will wake up and fill me in :)
[05:52] <ncterval> I've been lurking.
[05:52] <ivar> ncterval, any idea how to get the neuros to be recongized as a usb device ?
[05:53] <ncterval> Linux?
[05:53] <ivar> dual boot.. and neither winxp nor ubuntu linux recognize the device
[05:53] <ncterval> Does the Neuros get to the sync screen correctly?
[05:54] <ivar> no
[05:54] <ncterval> Oh, well that's your problem... What happens when you plug the USB cable into the Neuros?
[05:54] <ivar> as soon as I plug in the usb cable the device stops responding
[05:54] <ncterval> Have you tried flashing the NAND?
[05:55] <ivar> how do you flash ?
[05:55] <ncterval> You start the Neuros with either 1+PLAY, 5+PLAY, or 1+5+PLAy, can't remember which. Just try until one works :)
[05:55] <ncterval> 1 and 5 being the bookmark buttons.
[05:55] <ivar> err. I can probably google it.. but the s/n ratio on the forums is too poor
[05:56] <ncterval> neurosfaq.com will have the exact combination, I can check it for you real quick.
[05:57] <ncterval> Alright, unplug the power cable and have the Neuros off. Then press 1+5+PLAY
[05:58] <ncterval> It should boot into a screen with something like HDD and NAND as options, choose NAND. Then format NAND, and confirm. Then restart it.
[05:58] <ivar> cool
[05:59] <ivar> process will take several minutes.
[05:59] <ivar> heh
[05:59] <ivar> or not..
[05:59] <ncterval> Yah, it lies.
[05:59] <ivar> how do you turn it off ?
[05:59] <ncterval> Try holding play, or UP+PLAY.
[06:00] <ivar> yay
[06:00] <ivar> should I do that often ?
[06:00] <ncterval> It worked?
[06:01] <ncterval> Flashing the NAND is like penicillin for the Neuros, if it used to do something and no longer does, that seems to fix it.
[06:01] <ivar> cool.. too bad it wipes the disk
[06:01] <ncterval> Shoudln't have touched the HDD.
[06:01] <ivar> or not
[06:02] <ivar> yeah.. it said it was going to wipe the disk
[06:02] <ncterval> Did it?
[06:02] <ivar> no, just checked and it didnt
[06:02] <ivar> took a while to reboot though
[06:02] <ncterval> Yah, it has to rebuild the RAM you just wiped.
[06:03] <ivar> now, to avoid getting into this mess again, is there a proper sequence for mounting the neuros as a USB device ?
[06:03] <ncterval> Because it had been corrupted, which was causing you problems.
[06:03] <ncterval> I don't this was caused by anything you did. Did you get it to connect now?
[06:03] <ivar> cool.. so flash the NAND resets the RAM... gotcha
[06:04] <ivar> well. I'm in linux now, and have no idea where a mounted usb drive would show up.. lemme check ;)
[06:05] <ncterval> Yah, I personally haven't been able to get any FAT devices to mount on my Linux setup. Which is why I'm lurking.
[06:05] <ivar> it works
[06:05] <ivar> /media/sda1
[06:05] <ivar> sweet..
[06:05] <ncterval> Excellent
[06:05] <ivar> thank you SO much
[06:05] <iswm> ivar, dmesg | grep usb
[06:05] <ivar> ncterval, i really appreciate it
[06:05] <iswm> ivar, Quick little tip if you didn't know about it
[06:06] <ncterval> Sure
[06:06] <ivar> iswm, i didn't realize dmesg changed..
[06:06] <ivar> i thought it was only the kernel boot sequence ?
[06:06] <ivar> is outgeeked by the #neuros crowd...
[06:06] <iswm> Nah, it should spit out more information when it finds a usb device or such.
[06:07] <ivar> iswm, any chance you want to help debug my xf86config ?
[06:07] <ivar> (joke)
[06:08] <ivar> ok, here's a question.. now that I've mounted the neuros, it's got the synchronization animation going..
[06:08] <ivar> how do I terminate that ? unmount the drive ?
[06:08] <ncterval> Unless it says 'Do not unconnect', you can just unplug it.
[06:08] <ncterval> The animation means it's idle, unless it says that.
[06:08] <ncterval> If it does say that, make sure it's unmounted.
[06:09] <ivar> yeah, it's saying 'do not disconnect'
[06:10] <ncterval> Is it unmounted? The only other thing I could think of would be the usb-storage module abusing it.
[06:11] <ncterval> You can rmmod that if you don't have any other USB drives attached.
[06:11] <ivar> that's cool.. no it just took a few seconds after umounting
[06:12] <ivar> wow.. this is very cool
[06:12] <ivar> i had such high hopes for this.. now I'm back on the path of neuros awesomeness ;)
[06:13] <ncterval> Indeed. You said you were trying to update the firmware, did you succesfully?
[06:13] <ivar> not yet... I'm not sure which version to use.. apparently garbage is the best ?
[06:14] <ncterval> Haven't been brave enough to try the unnoficial ones. The official one is pretty sweet, after all.
[06:16] <ivar> are you familiar with myfi ?
[06:17] <ivar> there's a lot of conflicting information about how to boost the signal strength
[06:18] <ncterval> I've seen a lot of forum posts from people who've gotten their range up to something like 100 feet, but I haven't tried it.
[06:18] <ivar> yeah.. if I could broadcast 50ft it would be golden
[06:19] <ivar> i was wondering if unofficial firmware cna have an effect on broadcast range ...
[06:20] <ncterval> Not as far as I know, but I haven;t really been following it. I seem to remember DI saying they couldn't increase range with their firmware.
[06:20] <ncterval> The newer versions have MyFi Gain though, which lets you set the volume of the broadcast, I believe. Which makes it easier to hear wit ha weak signal.
[06:23] <ivar> ok, so that's something I might have to look into
[06:24] <ivar> maybe I'll experiement with alternative firmware later..
[06:26] <ivar> this is great.. my laptop's got a 30gb drive with two 15gb partitions between ubuntu and winXp.. my neuros has 80gb
[06:27] <ivar> woot
[06:27] <Koron> has joined #neuros
[06:27] <ivar> oops
[06:27] <ivar> i , um, plugged in the power while it was synchronizing
[06:28] <ivar> i take it from the sudden stopping of everything that it was a bad idea.
[06:29] <ncterval> Wouldn't think that would matter.
[06:29] <ncterval> I applaud you for getting hte 80GB, though.
[06:30] <ivar> my intention was that this was my external HD
[06:32] <ncterval> I'm starting to regret getting a 20GB, running out of music space.
[06:32] <ncterval> Oooh, but my sync just finished.
[06:32] <iswm> I was going to get a 60gig, but they we're sold out. Bleh, so I had to settle for the 40GB/128MB bundle.
[06:33] <ivar> i don't actually own a computer.. this laptop is for work.. so it's important for me to have some place where I can dump my nonwork related stuff..
[06:33] <ncterval> No computer, but money for an 80GB Neuros, eh?
[06:34] <ivar> this work laptop will see me through
[06:34] <ivar> i figure it's best to save $ for a computer until it's really necessary
[06:38] <ncterval> I've been worried about Linux compatability on laptops, how's Ubuntu working for you?
[06:39] <ivar> ubuntu rocks
[06:39] <ivar> every 18 months I try out a desktop linux
[06:39] <ivar> and although I have a serious desire to see it work, it has never met all my needs
[06:39] <ivar> ubuntu is pretty close..
[06:40] <ncterval> My only beef with Debian has been the installer, which Ubutnu obviously adresses. The new Sarge one is pretty nice, though.
[06:40] <ivar> i used to used debian.. and still do on my server
[06:41] <ivar> but ubuntu's rapid release cycle and all the resources behind it are enticing
[06:41] <ncterval> Ubuntu is just a fancy Debian, right...
[06:41] <ivar> gentoo looks pretty cool too, but as I get older 'ease of use' becomes more of a priority
[06:41] <ivar> pretty much.
[06:41] <ivar> it's a finely polished debian
[06:41] <ncterval> In fact, Garbage was reccomending that I use the Ubuntu repositories with my Debian box. I forgot to look into that.
[06:43] <ncterval> The one thing I want to see in an apt based distro is a good hardware center, like Mandrake and SUSE have.
[06:43] <ncterval> I wish Novell would fully GPL YaST.
[06:43] <ivar> they did ! (i think...)
[06:44] <ivar> ubuntu's target platform is a lowend laptop.. land of the crappiest hardware
[06:44] <ivar> so if they can get that dialed, everything else will be a piece of cake
[06:44] <ivar> whoa.. synchronizing (even over usb2.0) is sllllooow
[06:45] <ncterval> Hardware center as in like a centralized GUI for managing partitions, USBm devices, etc.
[06:45] <ivar> track 17/760
[06:45] <ivar> oh
[06:45] <ncterval> How dare you complain! The sync I just finished was 8 hours, on USB 1,1.
[06:45] <ivar> usability is a ubuntu focus.. i know the network manager is very sweet
[06:45] <ncterval> What's the name of it?
[06:46] <ivar> 'wireless link monitor' is what I'm thinking of..
[06:46] <ivar> err. maybe not.. i don't have my 802 card in right now
[06:47] <ivar> but getting hooked up with wireless was easier in ubuntu than XP.
[06:47] <ivar> i'm not sure that's saying much, but I was sure appreciative..
[06:48] <ncterval> Yes, I'd say networking is easier in modern Linux distros than in Windows.
[06:48] <ncterval> Unbelievable... that 8 hour sync didn't actually work. Jesus...
[06:48] <ivar> what to do, what to do.. i'm less than 10% of the way through sync.. but I really want to restart X to test a new config
[06:48] <ivar> ncterval, ooo.. that hurts
[06:48] <ncterval> Again, how dare you complain.
[06:49] <ivar> that's not a complaint... that's a quandry
[06:49] <ivar> :)
[06:51] <ncterval> Which sync manager are you using?
[06:54] <ivar> ndbm
[06:54] <ivar> nbdm
[06:55] <ncterval> Right the first time. Me too
[06:55] <ncterval> Having to use it in VMWare, though.
[06:55] <ivar> why ?
[06:55] <ivar> why vmware that is..
[06:55] <ncterval> Can't get FAT drives to mount for whatever reason.
[07:09] <ivar> brb.. restarting X (and no, the sync wasn't finished)
[07:10] <ncterval> S'aight, I'm going to bed. 1:08 AM here...
[07:11] <iswm> ivar, you might want to look into screen

[07:17] <ivar> woot ! things are working and looking up !
[07:18] <iswm> ivar, you might want to look into screen
[07:19] <iswm> ivar, so you can restart X and whatnot without having to worry about killing a sync.
[07:19] <iswm> Hmm, actually that may not work.
[07:20] <ivar> iswm, i use screen regularly.. :)
[07:20] <ivar> i asked a friend about restarting X without killing the apps, and he mentioned it was possible, but was nasty and involved using a proxy
[07:22] <iswm> Yeah, it dawned on me that the sync manager probably isn't text or curses based right after I mentioned it.
[07:23] <ivar> i wonder if the python one is ...
[07:27] <ivar> neat.. I dropped the .jar file onto the neuros and created a start shortcut that links to the mounted media..
