I guess that thing has same potential to completely change our daily tech life like 20..10 years ago GSM++ had
<DocScrutinizer>
or a bit more into the past, the IBM PC

whitequark: the flash rants are paying off ;-)
<kyak>
the he-who-never-sleeps is unreachable anyway :)

well, if wolfgang, kristianpaul, and joerg would team up ... :)

mirko: after update to qt4-4.8.1, all qt4 application won't start with "linuxfb: driver not found". I made sure qt4-drivers-gfx-linuxfb is installed and also tried to rebuild the image from scratch
<kyak>
i also tried playing with QWS_DISPLAY variable (it;s set to linuxfb by default) by unsetting it or setting to directfb - it still doesn't work

mirko: when i strace it, just before failing it tries "stat("/usr/bin/gfxdrivers/.", 0x7f8e0e70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)"
<kyak>
i don't know what it tries to find there, because just before that "stat("/usr/lib/Qt/plugins/gfxdrivers/libqscreenlinuxfb.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=39351, ...}) = 0" works fine (/usr/lib/Qt/plugins/gfxdrivers/libqscreenlinuxfb.so is there)
<kyak>
no idea what the problem was and how it got fixed.. but there was a segfault
<kyak>
i even found the according paste
<kyak>
so the problem is different.. btw, qt-4.7 is also looking for /usr/bin/gfxdrivers, so it might not be the problem
<mirko>
qws is working on ARM like a charme
<mirko>
on top of linuxfb
<mirko>
hm
<mirko>
did you start strace with '-f' or '-ff' to follow forks/threads?
<mirko>
well, focusing on operations on "libqscreenlinuxfb.so"
<mirko>
qt4.8 doesn't even try to open the file
<mirko>
it just 'stat's it
<mirko>
stat64 vs. stat - issue on mips?
<kyak>
without -f at all
<kyak>
let me do -ff
<kyak>
now it's -ff, the same link
<mirko>
-ff is wrong :)
<mirko>
-f
<mirko>
just checked the man page
<mirko>
-f Trace child processes as they are created by cur‐
<mirko>
rently traced processes as a result of the fork(2)
<mirko>
system call.
<kyak>
updated with -f :(
<kyak>
:)

mirko: i had an idea that removing ~/Settings would help, but it doesn't :)
<kyak>
/root/Settings/Trolltech.conf has interesting lines inside
<kyak>
like usr\lib\Qt\plugins\gfxdrivers\libqdirectfbscreen.so=0, 1, , 2012-04-18T22:41:34
<kyak>
same for linuxfb
<kyak>
"Plugin Cache" or whatever

i'm sorry that the update causes regressions for you - personally i won't be able to debug this before next week (which I also can't promise :/)
<kyak>
it's ok; good thing it happened after the release :)
