[06:42] <Xase> Funnily enough, when it comes to the Nook Color... Touch works on Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu...
[06:43] <twb> Xase: surely that's an issue of KDE vs. GNOME
[06:43] <twb> or vs. unity or whatever
[06:44] <twb> xw3m
[06:44] <Xase> ... How could it be??? I can't even log in yet?
[06:45] <Xase> So you're telling me that lightdm is so vastly different from kdm that'd prevent touch from working?
[06:46] <Xase> twb: I may not be some hardocre awesome programmer... but the logic there doesn't seem right...
[06:46] <twb> Uh, the dm only does something when you log in
[06:46] <twb> Once you've logged in, it's gone
[06:46] <Xase> Well on the DM screens... ubuntu doesn't work... kubuntu does.
[06:47] <twb> But really I would expect it to be libgtk vs. libqt or libgnome vs. libkde
[06:47] <Xase> ...
[06:47] <Xase> Really?
[06:47] <Xase> causing touch not to work?
[06:48] <twb> Sure
[06:48] <Xase> Well touch must work somewhat... b ecause I just saw somethign as I was drumming my fingers across the screen...
[06:48] <twb> Shrug
[06:48] <twb> This is new to me too
[06:49] <Xase> hmmm...
[06:49] <Xase> I somehow managed to get it to switch to the "other" login...
[06:49] <Xase> Touch seems to be registering... but not perfectly... but the nook has a notoriously finnicky screen that suffers from phantom touches...
[06:53] <lilstevie> Xase: use evtest and pastie its output
[06:55] <Xase> Wish I could boss...
[06:55] <Xase> I can't even get the device to login.
[06:55] <Xase> Waiting on my usb male to micro converter....
[06:56] <Xase> Dunno even know if the kernel I'm using has usb host built into it yet.
[06:56] <Xase> Will try tomorrow if converter comes...
[06:56] <lilstevie> ah ok, so you don't have adb abilities or network then
[06:56] <twb> Interesting; I ran "speaker-test" and it emits white noise
[06:57] <Xase> adb on linux?
[06:57] <twb> Ah that's by design
[06:57] <Xase> lilstevie: wasnt aware that'd work...
[06:57] <twb> speaker-test -t sine
[06:57] <lilstevie> Xase: yeah, adbd is statically linked
[06:57] <lilstevie> so it works
[06:58] <Xase> so hold on then... brb... gotta disconnect my phone and hook up my nook which means no internet for a moment.
[06:58] <lilstevie> ok
[07:04] <Xase> Hmmm,
[07:04] <Xase> after powering it down before your request...
[07:04] <Xase> Everything was fine... now the SD won't boot for some reason.
[07:04] <lilstevie> you do need to inject adbd and an init script for it, just FYI
[07:05] <Xase> I'll have to re-dd it tomorrow.
[07:05] <Xase> and then Adb from another computer will work?
[07:05] <lilstevie> yes
[07:06] <Xase> The things you learn.... I'll have to check it out tomorrow, as it's now past my bedtime :D
[07:07] <twb> past my pubtime
[07:19] <twb> That's odd, onboard crashes at startup despite its deps being met
[07:19] <twb> http://paste.debian.net/149912/
[07:20] <twb> lilstevie: do you care about that?
[07:36] <twb> Is dasher still "cool" or is it abandonware?
[07:36] <twb> No change since maverick so I'm guessing gnome3 killed it
[09:36] <lilstevie> twb that would be more a report for someone who maintains onboard
[15:55] <Xase> lilstevie: if adb is statically linked... wouldn't I still require an adb built for arm?
[15:56] <lilstevie> Xase: adbd is built for arm in android systems :)
[15:56] <Xase> So i can extract adbd from my inspire then?
[15:57] <Xase> I assume the script should read something like sudo sh /opt/asdk/adb start-server and place the script in /etc/init.d/ ?
[16:00] <lilstevie> Xase: http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu/Leo#ADB
[16:08] <Xase> lilstevie: wish I had notcied you posted that sooner lol... i'm sitting in adb shell trying all sorts of scp commands... and then it strikes me that adb pull /sbin/adbd would work fine.
[16:09] <lilstevie> heh
[16:09] <Xase> What can I say... I'm a certified noob.
[16:13] <Xase> lilstevie: once I copy it to /etc/init.d how am I supposed to execute update-rc.d adb.d defaults?
[16:14] <lilstevie> chroot
[16:14] <Xase> o.o
[16:14] <Xase> Heheh
[16:15] <lilstevie> the only time I advocate the use of chroots is for preparing the native images
[16:15] <Xase> ... hrmmm aren't there special instructions for chrooting an arm image anyways?
[16:15] <lilstevie> copying a binary into place and chrooting it if on x86
[16:16] <lilstevie> or just straight up chroot if on native hardware
[16:16] <Xase> Yeah I think I have the instructions somewhere in my history...
[16:48] <Xase> lalalala  time to try it.
[17:07] <Xase> No go for some reason...
[18:18] <Xase> Meh... I can't tell if I wired this wrong or what.....
[18:31] <Xase>  lilstevie is it a possiblity that for some reason the kerel is not set up to allow communication over the microusb port you think?
