**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 02 02:59:57 2009 Jan 02 11:04:34 hi Jan 02 11:37:59 hi, can anyone tell me what the root password is for the latest angstrom binary (le) on nslu2? Jan 02 11:40:59 have you check the blank password ? Jan 02 11:42:34 mimecar: yes, but apparently ssh does not allow a blank password and the nslu2 has no serial by default), telnet does not work either Jan 02 11:43:12 you can log as root on your hanheld ? Jan 02 11:43:59 mimecar: this is not a handheld, it is an NSLU2, an arm based NAS, so no local display etc Jan 02 11:44:35 that's a problem Jan 02 11:44:45 just got the image downloads from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/releases/2007.12/images/ixp4xxle/ Jan 02 11:44:51 you would need use 'pwd' command to set a root password Jan 02 11:45:51 i know, but I'm in a catch 22 situation, I cannot get in so I cannot set a password Jan 02 11:46:27 is the ssh server working on the nslu2? Jan 02 11:47:24 yes, i get the message about whether i want to accept the signature Jan 02 11:47:34 ok Jan 02 11:47:40 but google learned me that ssh does not accept empty passwords Jan 02 11:47:44 can you login as normal user ? Jan 02 11:47:58 is there a normal user account by default ? Jan 02 11:48:20 in the image? if so what would be the name? Jan 02 11:48:21 on zaurus handhelds you define it on startup Jan 02 11:48:28 on nslu2, no idea Jan 02 11:49:16 ok, guess that means rebuilding .... Jan 02 11:49:31 np, done that before just takes a while, but has the advantage of giving a newer version Jan 02 11:49:36 mimecar: thanks for your help! Jan 02 11:50:02 will you build a new image ? Jan 02 11:51:23 yes Jan 02 11:51:40 ok Jan 02 11:51:51 done this plenty of times with openembedded just never for angstrom (and wanted to get a quick start, building takes quite some time) Jan 02 11:52:09 it's a similiar process Jan 02 11:52:22 i know Jan 02 11:54:30 good luck ;) Jan 02 11:54:36 ty! Jan 02 11:55:02 eFfeM: have you a network interface only, haven't you? Jan 02 11:55:07 yes Jan 02 11:55:16 no keyboard ? Jan 02 11:55:20 nope Jan 02 11:55:29 ok Jan 02 11:55:33 only ethernet and two usb ports, no display Jan 02 11:56:47 you can use a usb keyboard Jan 02 11:57:01 switch to console (crtl+alt+2) Jan 02 11:57:10 and write the pwd command Jan 02 11:57:30 if you hace luck you can set the root password without screen Jan 02 11:57:46 hmm, nice idea Jan 02 11:58:02 * eFfeM goes to hunt for a usb keyboard Jan 02 12:21:34 eFfeM: angstrom on nslu2 requires serial at the moment. patches welcome :-) Jan 02 12:38:07 rwhitby: broke my serial cable a year or so ago, i might have the hw around to make a new one, didn't get to it yet Jan 02 12:40:23 eFfeM: you can use a usb-rs232 serial adapter Jan 02 12:42:18 mimecar: for the login console ? Jan 02 12:42:46 note that I cannot influence the cmd line or so, and it will use the internal serial Jan 02 12:45:15 test control+alt+1 Jan 02 12:46:21 will do so, one sec Jan 02 12:47:03 need to boot laptop Jan 02 12:49:44 what is the default baudrate? Jan 02 12:49:56 for network ? Jan 02 12:50:03 for usb /serial ? Jan 02 12:50:13 usually 9600 Jan 02 13:05:07 mimecar usb serial did not work, probably there is no getty or so running on the adaptor, currently busy rebuilding but this takes a while .... Jan 02 13:06:03 meanwhile will see if I can find that cable i ordered ages ago to replace the broken serial (one way broken only, i get output, but can't give input) Jan 02 13:09:31 have you plug usb keyboard ? Jan 02 13:10:13 serial module doesn't work (as rwhitbysaid) Jan 02 13:14:55 see you later Jan 02 16:19:50 trying to build angstrom for ixp4xx, but got the following error, anyone an idea how to handle this ? Jan 02 16:19:51 ERROR: Source object /home/frans/oe/tmp/work/ixp4xxle-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/madwifi-ng-r3837-20080802-r1/madwifi-trunk-r3837-20080802/ath_hal/xscale-le-elf.hal.o has EABI version 0, but target /home/frans/oe/tmp/work/ixp4xxle-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/madwifi-ng-r3837-20080802-r1/madwifi-trunk-r3837-20080802/ath_hal/ath_hal.o has EABI version 4 Jan 02 17:01:03 re Jan 02 17:21:44 mimecar: wb Jan 02 17:25:10 did you get some results? Jan 02 17:29:37 not yet, rebuilding android; the old serial cable i had did not do the trick, apparently it is half broken i get output but cannot send it input any more and i thought i ordered a new one, but either I am mistaken or I misplaced it.... didn't try the usb keyboard; the only usb one i have is the one i am typing this on and that is a wireless one, so not sure if it will work at all Jan 02 17:29:59 needed the cross compiler anyway, so rebuilding was not a bad plan Jan 02 17:30:05 s/android/angstrom/ Jan 02 17:30:13 are you working with android or with angstrom ? Jan 02 17:30:20 angstrom, mistyped, sry Jan 02 17:31:09 otherwise this would have been the wrong place, not even sure it is feasible to run android on nslu2 hw Jan 02 17:31:55 test with OE/Angstrom or with other linux dustro such as debian Jan 02 17:32:15 i used openslug and debianslug in the past Jan 02 17:32:34 that's why i know how to build oe Jan 02 18:12:54 hi, could you please point me to any documentation / comment on the status of at91 support in angstrom? Jan 02 18:13:34 I haven't been able to find anything except for unstable/autobuild images Jan 02 18:39:09 mimecar: recompiled, flashed, and now i can ssh into it! Jan 02 18:39:42 that's good Jan 02 18:39:59 did you set a default root password ? Jan 02 18:40:17 still need to find out how to put the rfs on usb it is now in internal nand with 64 k free space left Jan 02 18:40:33 no password set if it is a debug build no root password is needed Jan 02 18:41:04 DISTRO_TYPE=debug (this is the default) Jan 02 18:42:09 ok Jan 02 20:31:27 Total linux noob here trying to get familiar with Angstrom. I'm trying to change my screen resolution and I'm having some issues. Jan 02 20:32:16 In the GUI there are no supported options, I'm not too familiar with xorg.conf to edit it, and xrandr only lists one resolution for the min, current, and max. Jan 02 20:37:16 mike18: what video card? Jan 02 20:37:21 and what distro? Jan 02 20:44:40 I'm on a BeagleBoard, not sure what vid card Jan 02 20:44:46 Angstrom distro Jan 02 20:45:03 mike18: doesnt support randr yet Jan 02 20:45:43 ah, ok I read that wrong :) Jan 02 20:51:33 so should I try to edit it in the xorg.conf ? Jan 02 20:51:45 I'm reading up on xorg.conf now, just want to make sure I'm not going down the wrong path Jan 02 20:59:17 mike18: I think xf86-video-omaprb will only ever use the console settings at the moment Jan 02 20:59:41 impression I got from reading the code anyway Jan 02 21:09:49 can you please specify what you mean by console settings? Jan 02 21:11:21 i'm not sure what you mean by console, Jan 02 21:20:00 framebuffer console Jan 02 21:20:18 I could be wrong, but I thought the omap Xorg driver always started at same resolution Jan 02 21:35:50 mike18, ask in #beagle **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jan 03 02:59:57 2009
