**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 08 02:59:56 2008 Apr 08 15:40:22 hi Apr 08 15:41:04 is there a way to install the x11-image on SD and have only the kernel on the internal flash? Apr 08 15:41:40 I'm building from .dev with the angstrom 2008.1 distro Apr 08 15:41:59 and the images is around 24M and my device has only 21M... Apr 08 15:47:47 should be, you just have to specify the device for the sd card as your root on the kernel cmdline Apr 08 15:48:11 but how to build angstrom that way, i am not sure ;) Apr 08 15:49:01 ah ok Apr 08 16:32:22 !logs Apr 08 16:32:23 Channel logs for #angstrom are archived at: Apr 08 16:32:24 http://hentges.net/tmp/logs/irc/%23angstrom Apr 08 16:32:25 Live-logs are available at Apr 08 16:32:26 http://hentges.net/tmp/logs/irc/livelogs/%23angstrom.livelog Apr 08 16:32:28 See ?? help-logs for usage instructions Apr 08 18:42:45 hi, i'm new to angstrom...i've seen that there are quite a lot of i686 ipkgs, but no release-image? why that? Apr 08 18:43:31 you should really talk to the release manager, who I think is koen(not here now) Apr 08 18:44:29 ok...i'm building an image for i686 now, i hope it builds successfully...there seem to be still lots of bugs in openembedded, even in stable Apr 08 18:44:49 yeah, i find alot of stuff doesn't build properly in stable too Apr 08 18:45:19 it's a shame really Apr 08 18:45:48 it's really annoying...i just can build a minimal image (which is really very minimal, though) and various packages. lots of packages just don't build for diverese reasons Apr 08 18:46:46 so i hope i can use angstrom for i686, but i don't expect anything anymore ;) Apr 08 18:47:08 short question: does ipkg resolve deps automatically (like apt)? Apr 08 18:47:15 mrt2k7: yep Apr 08 18:47:36 i saw that one can use feeds, obviously st. like package repos? Apr 08 18:47:43 ok thats cool Apr 08 18:47:43 yeah Apr 08 18:47:57 i even thought that i've to build my own package mgmt ;) Apr 08 18:49:54 mrt2k7: why are you building for i868? Apr 08 18:49:57 i686** Apr 08 18:50:24 i want to build a just enough OS for virtual machines Apr 08 18:50:35 which has to be *very* small, but extendable Apr 08 18:50:35 what for? Apr 08 18:50:59 to migrate it somewhere else by a P2P overlay Apr 08 18:51:36 think as: distributed virtualization Apr 08 18:52:05 sounds pretty funky Apr 08 18:52:24 yeah, i hope it works out :) Apr 08 18:53:08 one possible way to use it would be to have a personal desktop available even when ur own pc doesn't run Apr 08 18:53:45 another one: to migrate specific tasks, f.e. "grab 1h of that webstream, oggerize it can then pls send it to me" Apr 08 18:54:21 so size really matters :) but it has to be extendable to be powerful too Apr 08 18:54:47 i use qemu right now which is very small too Apr 08 18:55:18 a RAR of a kernel, rootfs (with ipkg, ssh) and qemu is 4,6mbytes "big" Apr 08 18:57:05 hmmm...i'm just lacking an ipkg feed, i think Apr 08 18:57:32 someone knows how i can plug the angstrom feed into my ipkg? Apr 08 18:59:04 mrt2k7: you need to setup a web server, and point the feed to your webserver instead of the angstrom feeds Apr 08 18:59:20 i was thinking of using the angstrom feeds Apr 08 18:59:32 but right now i have a custom image built by OE Apr 08 18:59:35 but its i686 Apr 08 18:59:45 so i just thought of combining these two these Apr 08 18:59:51 s/these/things/ Apr 08 19:00:31 so basically i'm just dumbly asking for how to configure ipkg for use of feeds :) Apr 08 19:00:58 mrt2k7: may i ask what machine you run i686 system on? Apr 08 19:01:04 oh, then it should already be setup Apr 08 19:01:30 dcordes: qemu on 32 and 64 bit Apr 08 19:01:35 ok Apr 08 19:01:49 summatusmentis: the image i have has not been built by angstrom... Apr 08 19:01:54 checkout what the files in /etc/ipkg/ contain Apr 08 19:01:57 i did a custom config Apr 08 19:01:58 k Apr 08 19:02:22 mrt2k7: but it's still an angstrom image right? you didn't create a new distro? Apr 08 19:02:26 as summatusmentis they should be uris pointing to the i686feeds in case your build went fine Apr 08 19:02:34 i did create a new distro Apr 08 19:02:38 is not an angstrom image Apr 08 19:02:46 i'm trying to build an angstrom image right now Apr 08 19:02:52 baah....failures Apr 08 19:03:13 also for qemu? Apr 08 19:03:59 dcordes: don't unterstand that...? Apr 08 19:05:02 ahh..yes, angstrom for qemu Apr 08 19:05:04 i mean you are building angstrom whatever-image also for qemu target Apr 08 19:05:14 k Apr 08 19:05:21 i need it virtualized Apr 08 19:05:34 but basically im just building i686 but then i use it in qemu Apr 08 19:05:57 i assume i686 is a common base for different intel and amd platforms Apr 08 19:06:32 what machine do you set in local.conf in order to create generic i686 image? Apr 08 19:07:59 my own, the config file of my machine contains then: TARGET_ARCH = "i686" Apr 08 19:08:22 i see Apr 08 19:08:34 i think i did that in my very early days of OE...is maybe not really neccessary Apr 08 19:08:36 tried to build an image for asus eeeee once Apr 08 19:08:54 "tried" sounds like you havent been successfully? ;-/ Apr 08 19:09:24 yep I didn't figure which mach to set Apr 08 19:10:04 i think i686 is a good start Apr 08 19:10:20 wasn't so eager about the whole thing so because I only had it borrowed Apr 08 19:10:23 but thats just my humble opinion Apr 08 19:10:43 /s/so/though/ Apr 08 19:10:47 okay, /etc/ipkg just contains an arch.conf Apr 08 19:11:01 no feed URIs found Apr 08 19:11:07 mrt2k7: then you left something out in your configs Apr 08 19:11:20 yep :) Apr 08 19:11:34 try grepping existing machine files for ipk Apr 08 19:11:34 where do i find the syntax for the ipkg config? Apr 08 19:11:41 k Apr 08 19:11:42 thx Apr 08 19:11:53 otherwise try OE manual Apr 08 19:11:59 grep -rni is my friend since using OE ;) Apr 08 19:30:29 ok i basically got it working now Apr 08 19:30:52 but there aren't any packages for ix86 at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/feed/ Apr 08 19:31:11 although http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/ has lots of **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Apr 09 02:59:57 2008
