Hijack v333: fake_tuner fixed(?), battery icon (?)

Hijack v333 is out.

-- fixed fake_tuner so that it works (for me)
-- fixed fake_tuner for use in a loopback docking station
-- attempted fix for the "battery icon issue" from v280

Let me know (here) what works and what doesn't for you.

Cheers

I would love to follow your development better. But trying to read the diff of two diffs is ... challenging.

How do you do your revision tracking? If it's CVS, would it be possible for us to get anonymous access?

No particular system here.

But I do think I will move Hijack to using incremental diffs rather than the current scheme. This would help me, too.

I'll fire up "smokey" (my very very fast machine) and write a small script to have it generate incremental diffs for all Hijack versions from v1 to present, and then continue with just incremental diffs in the future.

Would that be helpful?

Cheers

To me, yes, but I wouldn't want my curiosity to affect someone else's ability to actually do things.

There's actually a tool to diff diffs, but I can never remember what it's called.

But then you'd need a tool to do diffs of those... and then you'd need....

Okay, I'm back from hockey and supper now. Scored two goals, got two assists, and our side won the final pickup game (strictly beer league, folks).

Smokey is now crunching away on the relative diffs -- mostly disk bound. I suppose I should have used a machine with faster disks --> the ones I thought that were in smokey got "borrowed" for another purpose. Should take another 2-3 hours to chew on all 333 patches.

Shoulda gotten in two fights to complete the Double Gordie Howe Hat Trick, hoser.

Bahahaha.... better watch it... you might find yourself being bodychecked into the rails at the next meet.

• fake_tuner appears to work for me.
• fake_tuner loopback doesn't apply, as my dock has a power plug.
• battery icon issue is still present.

Battery icon still happens. I can make it occur when pushing the top button after the empeg has been sitting docked in the car for a bit. IE: after it's docked, loads the bases etc and goes into standby (previous state).

Okay, I have just reloaded the Hijack site. Probably looks the same, but the patches are now available as relative diffs (from version to version) in the ChangeLog.

This makes for fascinating reading (for me, anyway) to see exactly what had to change in each version to implement the new functionality provided.

I should have done this years ago!

Can this be, that after your website change the JEmplode HiJack upgrade is not working anymore?

Thanks

okay, try again now.

Yeep...it works now! Still a little bug, because you can't see the release info, as we had before.

Thanks a lot!

bye

did you get your icon to go away mines still doing it.

Mark,

Now that you're using diffs rather than complete patches can you recommend how I would get a v333 hijack kernel source.

I see you have made some "waypoints" at v200 and v300. I assume that these already include rds and voladj patches and I only need to apply diffs from there.

So starting with the v300 kernel, what do you recommend to apply all the patches up to the current one? Obviously they have to be done in order. I realise a script could do this: Now that I have I asked the question, I think I have a way that will work.

From the root directory of the v300 kernel:

zcat `ls -a /path/to/patches/hijack*patch.gz` | patch -p1

Sound roughly right? There must be an easier way than this musn't there? I don't have linux box nearby to try this out...

I think you've pretty much got the right idea there. Except do a "sort -n" on the patchlist before piping them into the zcat command.

Cheers

The release info issue is not my problem -- The autoHijack thingie probably requires an update to deal with the slightly changed layout of the index.html file.

Cheers

MMmmm.. okay, I still have one more idea for the battery icon.

Dunno when I'll get it out, but I'll try something in v334.

Maybe later today, we'll see (got a funeral to attend).

Cheers

Except do a "sort -n" on the patchlist

Ooops that's what the ls -a bit was for except that just lists all files including those beginning with a dot.

OK so for others trying to do this is probably what you want:

zcat `ls /path/to/patches/hijack*patch.gz | sort -n` | patch -p1

ls seems to sort anyway so I'm not sure how necessary the sort -n bit really is. Aaah I see, hijacks below v100 only had two digit versions which would break things just by sorting alphabetically. (It's amazing what you can figure out just by typing or talking out loud )

Okay, v334 has another tiny change to see if it helps/hurts the battery icon issue.

334 didn't seem to help or hurt the situation. btw, on boot it still says v333

same thing here.thank you agian for all the time you are putting into this.it boot's up fine only happens coming off of standby.

Okay, thanks for checking it out, guys.

I'm away from my Empeg's for a few days, but still have the development environment here with me. If I think of anything else to try, I'll post it for you, otherwise it goes back onto the shelf for a week or two.

Cheers

Hi everyone!

After a boring working day, a nice surprise arise to me when I returned at home : a docking station !

After all, it's a GREAT day !

A perfect fit, a very nice design... everything seems alright... but...

First time I used EmpegTray, I received an error message saying the http connection is unavailable :-((

Reading the BBS, I realized it could be a loopback detection problem...

Just a check : V320 is installed... and there was a few patches released since my last compile...

Now, what to do ?

- downloading V300 archive and all patches up to V334,
- uncompress V300,
- patch everything,
- enable ext3 fs support,
- compile,
- modifying "buildit" to have MY default IP adress instead of mlord's own IP and add "PAS" command to ftp script under the "flash" option,
- "un-dock" the empeg to have ftp server running,
- "./buildit flash"...

ok, my Empeg is now running V334

but still no loopback detection !

I'm missing something ?

well, does a "stock" Hijack kernel make any difference? Just need to check it.

Also, connect up the serial link, and look for the Hijack "loopback .. tuner_id" line, and see what it says.

What's the "Force AC/DC Power" menu entry (Hijack) say?

Hi mlord,

I don't have my empeg with me until monday.
You'll have the logs monday evening (european time).
