00:01:51crzyboysterI was trying to install vmware on my computer by following these directions > http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform#Quick_start_guide I have downloaded both the installer and the image and am currently extracting it using 7zip. What should I do next? And what does "md5sum: b53ee439589acd7233d2a59752fbe759" mean? The wiki isn't really clear on where to put the image?

00:05:18crzyboysterMy bad, should've installed vmware first thing.

00:07:00Bagderyes
00:07:59crzyboysterSo every time I want to compile somthing, I should launch the rockbox.vmx file?
00:08:22Bagderwell, you should launch vmware, yes
00:08:46Bagderor install cygwin, or just go with linux all the way!

00:10:32crzyboysterI've never used linux in my life and have no patience to learn how to. And does Ubuntu have a full linux install included?
00:10:56*bluebrother is always annoyed by the requirement to develop on windows at work
00:11:04bluebrotherubuntu _is_ a linux distribution.
00:11:52crzyboysterIs there a way to dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu? And will this "way" not end up destroying my beloved 6 year old computer?
00:11:52Lars_GUsing the new stack!! weee
00:11:58bluebrotheryou need to bring some patience if you want to program on Rockbox anyway.
00:12:11advcomp2019crzyboyster, yea there is a way
00:12:17bluebrothercrzyboyster: linux is an OS, not a computer-destroying-virus.
00:12:35Lars_GI will try it out strongly with OS X, the OF usb has been failing horribly with OS X
00:12:37bluebrotherand I use dual-boot since ... well, at least 10 years or so.
00:13:11crzyboysterI know... and I don't plan on programming on rockbox, just compiling my own build maybe and generating a lang file or two.

A hardware or software reset is not required." (8.1.2.4 in "ATA Functional Differences") - so skipping the soft reset is okayed by the spec! (then again, the spec is constantly violated...)

00:39:40sander_mHello. If my rockboxed ipod is mounted on /media/ipod, where do I put the music so the database works correctly? Can I put it anywhere? Does it have to be in /media/ipod/Music? /media/ipod/iPod_Control/Music?
00:40:32Lars_Gsander_m: In short, anywhere will work, but I like to keep it clean
00:40:41Lars_GI use /media/<ipod>/Music for my own
00:40:58midgeygevaerts: svn using fullspeed seems to play nicely with my sansa e200 and mac
00:41:40Lars_Gclear stuff a little for me, full speed is 1.1's 12Mb and high speed is 480Mb right?
00:42:05sander_mThing is, I put a bunch of music under /media/ipod/Music and went to settings>>database and hit "update now". The old music (that I deleted from /media/ipod/iPod_Control/Music) disappeared, but the new songs from /media/ipod/Music wasn't added.
00:42:14Lars_Gmidgey: I hope that's true, my e260's OF is incredibly fidgety on the mac, it sometimes takes me three reboots to have the mac kernel stop panicing and mount it.
00:42:39Lars_Gsander_m: try reiniting the db from scratch, and, did you reboot after the update?
00:42:47gevaertsmidgey: so your earlier problems were probably caused by high speed I guess

01:21:01pixelmathe date is not so important as the problem is older it's just that you can easily chose a bunch of builds to try.

01:52:14Hodappat this point it appears to be shunning the iPod
01:52:57*Hodapp ponders...
01:53:06*Hodapp tries other cable
01:53:13Sivart0macs can be so cruel ='(
01:53:49HodappYeah. I'd ask ##mac but they'd probably say something like "well you should have put Rockbox on there then LAWL"
01:53:59Hodapps/should/shouldn't/
01:54:25Sivart0or RTFM <_<
01:54:45Hodapphow's TFM help me?
01:55:05Sivart0no, i mean that the people in mac would tell you that
01:55:13linuxstbHodapp: You could try removing the Rockbox bootloader (run ipodpatcher and select uninstall), and see if your Mac changes its mind.
01:55:39Hodapplinuxstb: But doesn't that kinda make it entirely irrelevant that Rockbox is on the iPod in the first place?
01:56:41pixelmalinuxstb: don't you also have problems with connecting your Ipod to USB on a Mac sometimes which fixes itself with a reboot </wild guess>

02:04:47linuxstbHodapp: If your ipod still doesn't connect, even with Rockbox removed, then that would seem to suggest Rockbox isn't to blame. Although as pixelma suggested, maybe a reboot of your Mac might be useful, just to reset everything to a known good state.
02:08:38*Hodapp rebooting...

04:03:59saratogacould you try a build for me and tell me if the menus look right
04:04:36Hodappno :\ I had to program it on a Windows box because I couldn't make it work right on OS X and I'm on my Macbook now
04:05:19saratogai can provide you with a download link

04:08:07saratogahowever
04:08:15saratogayou must rename your current .rockbox folder
04:08:19saratogaDO NOT COPY OVER IT WITH THIS
04:08:35saratogajust rename it, try this one, and when you're done, you can delete it and rename your original folder back
04:13:24saratogaHodapp: any results?
04:14:28HodappI can't test it right now... read a few lines back
04:15:21saratogaHodapp: you might have mentioned this before i compiled you the build . . .
04:15:49Hodapp22:01 < saratoga> could you try a build for me and tell me if the menus look right
04:15:52Hodapp22:01 < Hodapp> no :\ I had to program it on a Windows box because I couldn't make it work right on OS X and
04:15:55Hodapp I'm on my Macbook now
04:16:17saratogawhich is why i offered to compile it for you
04:16:23saratogaso that you could upload it with your macbook
04:17:01Hodappsorry, what I meant was that I couldn't program from my Macbook
04:17:22saratogado you mean update rockbox?
04:17:28saratogaif so, why not?
04:17:37saratogaa macbook will work fine
04:17:50saratogaassuming it was made in the last 8 years anyway
04:17:56HodappIn theory it will work fine.
04:19:00Hodappbut for me it had issues and I couldn't get the access I needed to the iPod in disk mode, and the necessary software could not communicate properly
04:19:31Hodappand it was looking like I needed to use a Windows box to format it to FAT32 anyway so I figured I may as well update from there as well
04:22:08*Hodapp shrugs
04:22:14HodappI have a Linux box at home I can use
04:23:51saratogaso you couldn't even mount your ipod in macos?
04:23:54saratogahow do you add music
04:24:40*Hodapp shrugs.
04:26:00HodappI suppose my original issue would pertain more to getting the bootloader on there than to getting firmware on there.
04:26:36Hodappnow, I do know this: I tried the most recent current build and it didn't work; a build from the 1st of the month worked just fine
04:26:57Hodappis your build based on the most recent?
04:29:11saratogayes
04:29:14saratogai'm about to commit it
04:29:24saratogaso it'll be most recent in about an hour
04:29:56HodappI have a sneaking sensation that this build won't work if the build preceding it didn't work
04:30:09saratogaare the 3g builds broken lately?
04:30:12saratogai hadn't heard that
04:30:16saratogathough it wouldn't surpise me
04:32:55HodappI just got this iPod like 5 hours ago and tried Rockbox, so I dunno

09:12:00pixelmaI just tested in a Video sim where I had set iCatcher before as theme -> it did change to cabbiev2 although it shouldn't because I hadn't used the default. In this case colours changed correctly (line selector and foreground colour) but the font stayed, i.e. it was set to nimbus-19 which iCatcher uses
09:15:37pixelmahmm... and changing back doesn't reset colours. The generated iCatcher.cfg does not contain the "foreground colour", "background colour" lines which I think it did before (maybe this is due to the other related commit of yesterday?)
09:19:23pixelmathis is actually good in the menu here because the background isn't cleared either and so I don't end up with light grey on white background which I do in the WPS then though

09:54:19pixelmaah, I understand the iCatcher -> cabbiev2 issue better now. It doesn't override the setting of your cfg as I thought first but iCatcher doesn't set a background (the new default will be used) and not the colours anymore (new default) and no icons - only the WPS would have changed
09:54:59pixelmaso the menu looked like cabbiev2 with iCatcher font
09:55:23amiconnI think there are now just 2 bugs left. (1) The wps packager somehow leaves out the colours even on colour targets
09:55:47amiconn(2) The settings code doesn't save the setting for "no backdrop" even though this is no longer the default
09:55:57amiconnThis is actually a settings code bug
09:56:14pixelmaand what about the iconset?
09:56:42linuxstbShouldn't the other themes include "default iconset" in their cfg now?
10:00
10:00:31pixelmafirst "bug report" thread about it in the forums... "Help! No Cursor!" on a 4th gen Ipod greyscale...
10:02:19linuxstbIs that the bug amiconn fixed?

10:10:48amiconnI am trying to fix (2)
10:11:25amiconnThe settings code is kinda strange - and there already seems to be a hack-around for the iconset
10:11:26linuxstbOK, I'm looking at 1...

10:16:50pixelmalinuxstb: about (1) - probably related to saratoga's earlier commit yesterday to wpsbuild.pl http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/wps/wpsbuild.pl?r1=16372&r2=16373?
10:17:22pixelmathey are created by wpslist.pl using WPSLIST
10:18:20linuxstbpixelma: Yes, found, fixed and committed ;)
10:19:22pixelmawhy is there one thing named "filetylecolor" btw... :)
10:20:01linuxstbThat's very odd - a consistent typo...
10:20:45amiconnc&p typo
10:21:42linuxstbWhat do people think the "default_rockbox" theme .cfg file should do? Seems odd to have one theme called "CabbieV2" which is the real default, and another theme called "rockbox_default" which isn't...

10:23:32linuxstbchuff: You can't - Rockbox doesn't work on the shuffles.
10:23:59linuxstbThe front page of the Rockbox website lists all the supported players.
10:24:02chuffthe point of rockbox is so that you don't have to use itunes software... right?
10:24:07amiconnlinuxstb: Does the wpslist code allow to output an empty string for a setting?
10:24:32linuxstbamiconn: I don't know, let me test...
10:24:39 Join FOAD_ [0] (n=dok@dinah.blub.net)
10:24:44amiconnRight now it e.g. sets an iconset to "-" which translates to /.rockbox/icons/-.bmp
10:25:10amiconnVery odd if someone actually puts a file named "-.bmp" there (that's a valid filename)
10:26:19linuxstbYes, we should fix that. If I do "iconset:" in WPSLIST, then the wpsbuild script complains when trying to copy that non-existent bmp file...

10:29:03amiconnThe settings code does handle filename settings in an odd way
10:29:38amiconnThere are 2 possible types, filename settings with prefix and suffix, and such without both (used for recording dir and playlist catalog dir)
10:29:58amiconnThe ones with prefix and suffix are decomposed on load, and recomposed on save
10:31:07chuffhow do i move songs from computer to ipod?
10:31:19chuffitunes is being very difficult
10:31:50linuxstbchuff: This channel is for discussion of Rockbox, not general ipod discussion.
10:32:04*pixelma looks around whether other themes would need a foreground/background colour definition in WPSLIST now that black on light blue isn't default anymore...
10:33:26linuxstbpixelma: I guess there are a lot of other settings that themes must now include - icons, viewer icons, selector bar, ...
10:34:10pixelmahmm, right
10:35:05linuxstbamiconn: There is a change needed for wpsbuild.pl to accept empty strings - the code is using "if ($iconset)", which should be "if (defined($iconset))"
10:36:12linuxstbOr maybe we should make wpslist output empty strings for all theme setting variables, even if they're not defined in WPSLIST...
10:36:49amiconnWell, not all theme settings are valid on all targets
10:36:57amiconn(like colours on mono targets)
10:38:53amiconnI wonder why saratoga removed colours for greyscale targets, btw
10:39:42amiconnThe current UI doesn't allow setting the greylevels, but the low level code is there, and imho we should offer those settings
10:40:42amiconnEven the solid "colour" line selector would be possible on greyscale targets. Gradient obvously won't work with just 2 bits
10:40:44pixelmalinuxstb: so... should I wait a bit? It's just that I thought this could be a simple enough thing even I could do to help fixing...

10:47:21amiconnI think so
10:48:03amiconnI'm still not 100% sure about that settings code. What does strncasecmp() return if one of the strings is empty? Just 0?
10:50:09linuxstbI would guess +/-1 - i.e. "" is < "a"

10:56:45linuxstbSeems that wpsbuild.pl doesn't copy the "filetype colours:" file if it's defined (which it currently isn't for any theme)
11:00
11:04:33amiconnOkay, saving empty filename settings works now, and produces what one would expect in config.cfg, e.g. "backdrop:"
11:06:05pixelmathe thing is that not all included themes might *need* to set some things like selector type and so on, or should I just assume all do (to have them look like before)?
11:07:41pixelmaand for no backdrop it should read "Backdrop: none" in WPSLIST then?
11:07:54linuxstbI thought it should be "Backdrop:"
11:08:13linuxstb(but I could be wrong...)
11:09:10linuxstbamiconn: Would a trailing whitespace - i.e. "backdrop: " be OK in a .cfg?

11:11:04amiconnThat's no problem

11:47:30pixelmaabout the included WPSs... there are some, probably old, ones for the 160x128 greyscale screens. First they are named inconsistently (should be 160x128x2) and second - those could easily have a colour version with the classic colours set. What do people think?
11:49:10*amiconn isn't sure what to do about the viewer icons on the player
11:49:25amiconnThe original idea was to add a minimalistic bmp loader
11:50:03linuxstbpixelma: Maybe we should remove some of the older ones... I don't know what others think, but I would like a small (but varied, and not necessarily the same across targets) set of themes in SVN.
11:50:23amiconnBut (1) that doesn't allow falling back to hardware characters if an icon isn't displayable, and (2) it's not like we'll see dozens of new file formats supported on player

12:20:48linuxstbI can't see a reason to include it, apart from as a hard-coded default when all else fails.

15:06:13gevaertsIt seems that my high speed reliability warning might be premature : I just checked the md5sums using the OF, and they fail as well, so the files on my sd card got corrupted (probably during some experiment).

I am now testing if the data survives
15:17:30rasheramiconn: Still, it's amazing that they never thought while developing usb 1.0 that they might come out with something faster at some point so using "full speed" was perhaps not the best idea

17:11:57Nico_Pthat's strange indeed
17:12:31LearCould be that album art delays the initial availability of file data, causing the codec to fail. I'm looking into what happens in the codec right now...

19:00:16alienbiker99ok ill try taht
19:00:55alienbiker99it still comes up as gigabeat S

19:32:20dcbahrhi looking for tech help before purchasing an ipod
19:32:59rockoumm.. I got a question, my ipod (ipod color) and I were out all day yesterday (20 degrees)
19:33:10rockoand for whatever reason, all my fonts and whathaveyou disappeared
19:33:29krazykitrocko, that doesn't really sound related.
19:33:29rockoand it reverted back to the regular small text rockbox
19:33:41rockothat was the only thing I could think of
19:33:50krazykitdcbahr, the full list of supported devices is on the front page
19:34:09krazykitrocko, well, have you reloaded the WPS and font package, just to make sure everything's there?
19:34:24dcbahrI understand, but Ipurchased a 5th gen ipod vid last may and installed rockbox on it, but could barely get the thing to speak, I am tally blind so speech is essential,
19:34:24rockowps?
19:34:39krazykitrocko, your "theme"
19:34:44dcbahrI am now looking at a 4th gen ipod photo but don't want to run in to the same issue
19:34:48rockoohh
19:34:54rockoI don't know man
19:36:01krazykitdcbahr, every player has the same method for installing speech support.
19:36:03alienbiker99thats what i was doing wrong, thanks jhMikeS
19:37:16dcbahrok, perhaps I didn't install the speech support properly? this was several months back so I couldn't tell you exactly what I did, but I remember installing and uninstalling the firmware several times and just barely getting to to anounce a playlist, I never got any music out of the thing at all and returned the player

19:39:14dcbahrwhich iswhat I did and still got nothing, I really would like an ipod as mp3 cds take up space and this person has a good deal on one, could you possibly point me to the page for installing speech? so that when I get the player I can do it and try?

20:01:24jhMikeSbut if anything switches contexts in between for whatever reason the data consumer may have an invalid pointer
20:01:32gevaertsjhMikeS: that's a possibility. I haven't done much more than finding patterns yet. This data is written to RAM by the usb controller, which fires an interrupt on completion, after which the software writes it to flash.

21:22:50*gevaerts feels slightly relieved. The bug is not in the usb driver, but seems to be in the sd card driver
21:23:02gevaertsSo it's not entirely my fault at least.
21:23:58gevaertsIs ata_write_sectors() supposed to be interrupt safe ?
21:24:04jhMikeSno
21:25:16gevaertsHow high do I need to set_irq_level() ? Disable ?
21:25:47jhMikeSyou can't call that function from an interrupt handler at all
21:26:04jhMikeSset_irq_level(HIGHEST_IRQ_LEVEL) disables everything but audio interrupts
21:26:24jhMikeSit returns the old level which can be restored by calling the same
21:27:44gevaertsI'm not in an interrupt handler. I get usb data, tell the controller to expect more, and call ata_write_sectors(). (probably) during the ata_write_sectors() call an USB interrupt comes in which seems to disturb the write to flash. reading back immediately afterwards shows the two-byte shift

22:45:06gevaertsjhMikeS: any way of slowing it down more ?
22:45:30jhMikeSlonger udelay in ata_write_sectors perhaps

22:46:24amiconnjhMikeS: Do I remember correctly that the sansa OF writes the last 16 bytes (or so) of each sector without using dma?=
22:46:31jhMikeSit's almost like FIFO_EMPTY isn't telling the truth
22:46:52amiconnMaybe that's some kind of workaround for (yet another) PP hardware bug....
22:46:56jhMikeSamiconn: there is that but I don't recall how much it writes
22:47:14jhMikeSwe aren't using any DMA at all anyway
22:47:40amiconnoh?
22:47:46amiconnMaybe that's the problem...
22:48:27amiconnI remember a problem on Ondio, which had a different effect but also had to do with write latency
22:48:41jhMikeSI think that may be related to cache lines
22:49:03amiconnThe Ondio MMC driver *does* use DMA, transferring to/from SPI
22:49:53amiconnThere are 4 DMA channels in the SH1, with different priority. We used DMA1 for MAS audio DMA, and DMA2 for MMC DMA (lower priority than DMA1)
22:50:19amiconnSometimes, the MMC driver just locked up. Happened only on write, never on read
22:50:23jhMikeSthe doc I have just says "a small part of transfers using PIO"

23:01:16jhMikeShmmm
23:02:03gevaertsI don't think I have mentionned this before, but it seems to happen about once every 1.5 MB
23:02:59jhMikeSI don't think you did. When I tried optimizing the write code it happened rather immediately. I wonder if recording would also show this problem.

23:05:36barrywardell_wouldn't test_disk reveal if there was a problem like that?
23:07:19gevaertsI'll try
23:07:53jhMikeScopy a huge file on target and compare it?
23:09:06gevaertsI'll start with the test_disk write and verify test, boosted and unboosted
23:10:30*gevaerts thinks people left some bugs around to trick unsuspecting contributors into improving parts of the code they weren't originally interested in

23:47:37barrywardell_gevaerts: does the problem only happen with sd based devices?
23:48:20*amiconn now found the real cause of the failing default viewer iconset on greyscale targets
23:49:07gevaertsbarrywardell_: no idea. I only have a c250, and although desowin saw it once on full speed, it seems to happen nearly only on high speed connections, and that's not very widely tested yet
23:50:17gevaertsbarrywardell_: but I strongly suspect it happens if the sd driver is interrupted at a bad moment during writing.

23:52:18barrywardell_I can test on my H10
23:52:47*barrywardell_ has found that he can use rockbox usb mode on his mac by running windows through parallels desktop :)
23:53:59gevaertsI just changed the udelay(2) in ata-c200_e200.c to udelay(1), and that seems to solve the issue (or at least make it rare enough that I didn't see it in my 100MB test-copy)
23:54:13jhMikeSgevaerts: what would interrupt it?
23:54:26midkayBagder: still around?
23:54:40Bagderyes

23:55:50*gevaerts goes to do some maths to verify his claim
23:56:05jhMikeSgevaerts: it gets interrupted by the tick too 100 times/second
23:56:34gevaertsjhMikeS: you have a point there
23:58:04jhMikeSit gets interrupted during playback 3675 times/second to fill audio fifos too :)
23:58:04barrywardell_what's the best way to test it on my H10?
