brolin_empeyI should have bought mSATA SSDs instead of a 1.8-inch PATA SSD, some 2.5-inch PATA SSDs, and some 2.5-inch SATA SSDs.  I chose fewer connectors because I thought that would be more reliable but now I would rather have more connectors but more modularity/interchangeability.04:19
brolin_empeyAnyway, it looks like my father will give me his retired Asus UL30Vt 13-inch Core 2 ULV notebook computer that uses an internal 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD so I should be able to use this Core 2 ULV computer to replace my toasty AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400 (highest stock speed for Athlon Thunderbird) tower computer without needing to upgrade the current OS installation on the 2.5-inch SATA SSD (I added a SATA host controller on a parallel PCI card to the Socket A04:34
brolin_empeymotherboard) from Ubuntu 10.04.x LTS because I still use this version of Ubuntu on a Core 2 tower computer so I know this version of Ubuntu works on a Core 2 computer.04:34
brolin_empeyCore 2 ULV CPUs are only available soldered on a motherboard.  Notebook computers use a socketed Core 2 CPU but use a different socket than desktop motherboards and no adapter/converter is available as far as I can tell so I cannot use a ULV nor mobile Core 2 CPU on a desktop motherboard.04:40
brolin_empeyI mean notebook computers that use a higher-power-than-ULV Core 2 CPU use a socketed CPU but not the same socket as a desktop Core 2 motherboard.04:43
brolin_empeyIs it still feasible to use a PCI PC Card/Cardbus card (parallel PCI hotpluggable card installed on the side of old notebook computers) for Ethernet on GNU+Linux?  I have a Coppermine Celeron notebook computer (Toshiba Satellite 2230CDS.  Yes, it has a passive-matrix display.) collecting dust but it lacks integrated Ethernet connectivity and I think the integrated USB connectivity is only full-speed.  I also have a Pentium II notebook computer with internal04:55
brolin_empeypower supply (Compaq Armada 1750) with an active-matrix display but I think it too lacks integrated Ethernet connectivity and has only full-speed integrated USB connectivity.04:55
brolin_empeyDoes the OS even need special support for PCMCIA/PC Card/Cardbus if the card is always installed?  Maybe then I only need regular PCI support?04:59
buZzbrolin_empey: afaik the pcmcia/cardbus stuff is just for the hotplugging support06:14
brolin_empeybuZz: OK, that is what I thought.06:24
halftuxFatPhil: uploaded an to extras-devel /usr/games/an but could take 2 hours to import the package...16:06
bencohI think extras are still stuck16:07
bencohwell, it does build packages, but won't import them to repositories16:08
halftuxI think it is because zile has no description so a parsing error you need to edit the control file16:08
bencohAn has no description either16:08
bencohiirc you don't get any description at this stage16:08
halftuxit should have but atm it is ot parsed16:09
bencoh(oh and, controle file for zile comes from debian)16:09
bencohsame with zile I think :)16:09
halftuxok I see16:09
bencohhttp://muarf.org/~bencoh/maemo/zile_2.3.21-3_armel.deb16:10
halftuxxes: can you have a look again why the auto builded packages get not imported to the repo please16:28
halftuxnow I see that the an package has already packages depending on this package which is impossible because before it doesn't exist16:34
DocScrutinizer05>><bencoh> well, it does build packages, but won't import them to repositories<< FSCK! ask freemangordon18:50
jrgHi20:26
jrgMaemo4 still alive and kicking?20:26
jrgI see the repo is still working. I wanted to use it for carman to check a check engine light20:26
jrgRepo seems seriously slow though.20:27
sixwheeledbeastno idea on maemo4 but repos will still be up. use pyOBD myself on m520:30
sicelosixwheeledbeast: you use pyobd regularly?20:39
sixwheeledbeastevery so often.20:45
sixwheeledbeastI do most simple code checks and reset with it for most of my friends20:46
sicelo:-)20:46
sicelonice. i find it locks up a lot though, especially when looking at live sensor data.20:47
sixwheeledbeastMost places charge a stupid amount of money just to read a code. I can understand as the pro garage equipment costs a lot.20:48
siceloalthough it's also possible i use crappy readers20:48
sixwheeledbeastLive data is a bit weak but I don't expect a cheap BT OBD reader to be perfect. IMO OBD is an abused connector anyway, it should be for diagnostics only but it's become a way of programming ECU's and also other abuses20:50
