Jun 23 07:30:38 <sx> hi all, is there a place to put some bash commands or path variable exports in angstrom? (like .bash_profile file)
Jun 23 13:40:06 <MrM_> Looking to be come a tester for the akita based builds
Jun 23 15:39:10 <achilles> Hello everybody. I have a Telit device on Angstrom and I want to switch the settings from Europe to U.S. How can I issue the Telit commands through Angstrom?
Jun 23 16:18:51 <Guest48847> beagleboard query: does the default kernel builds have the UART in the expansion header enabled by default? If so, what tty is it?
Jun 23 16:51:32 <Guest48847> beagleboard query: does the default kernel builds have the UART in the expansion header enabled by default? If so, what tty is it?
Jun 23 17:30:44 <toruvinn> anyone who asked a (reasonable) question here, i'd suggest posting it to the mailing list instead. ;-p
Jun 23 18:01:44 <Guest48847> bummer, just hoping for a quicker turn-around. off to register...
Jun 24 01:07:23 <Kevin`> what's the difference between x11-gpe-image and gpe-image
Jun 24 01:14:36 <TheStorm> Kevin`, look in the .bb files for them
Jun 24 01:14:45 <TheStorm> or are you just downloading them?
Jun 24 01:15:17 <Kevin`> I looked at the bb files, but I want to understand the intent behind what they do
Jun 24 01:28:47 <Mwyann> oooh someone :p
Jun 24 01:29:19 <Mwyann> jsut a little question, I asked it on the mailing list but perhaps someone here know the answer
Jun 24 01:30:37 <Mwyann> I build the x11 image myself with bitbake, and I end up with three files : updater.sh, image.tgz and zImage, but default install files are : updater.sh, zImage.bin, and initrd.bin
Jun 24 01:30:57 <Mwyann> I trie renaming the files but it won't work, I end up with altboot asking me for a device to boot from...
Jun 24 01:31:22 <Mwyann> What did I miss ?
Jun 24 01:31:36 <TheStorm> it sounds like you need to change your config to output a bin and not a tgz
Jun 24 01:31:57 <Mwyann> hmmm...
Jun 24 01:32:04 <Mwyann> it sound like I'm gonna ask : how ? ;)
Jun 24 01:32:41 <TheStorm> that I have no clue on :P
Jun 24 01:33:01 <Mwyann> in /OE/build/conf/local.conf I have
Jun 24 01:33:02 <Mwyann> # What kind of images do we want?
Jun 24 01:33:02 <Mwyann> IMAGE_FSTYPES += " tar.bz2 "
Jun 24 01:33:18 <Mwyann> interesting but I don't know if I can simply change it to "bin"...
Jun 24 01:33:28 <TheStorm> Look it up on the wiki
Jun 24 01:33:34 <TheStorm> I'm pretty sure its there
Jun 24 01:35:15 <Mwyann> I got a clue here... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931956/how-to-use-openembedded-generated-images
Jun 24 01:35:41 <Mwyann> (of course just after I installed again the previous distro...)
Jun 24 01:36:36 <Kevin`> Mwyann: it looks like the output it gave you is the actual data to install, not the installer
Jun 24 01:36:47 <Mwyann> yeah
Jun 24 01:36:51 <Mwyann> I need a jffs2 image
Jun 24 01:36:58 <Mwyann> not the data to uncompress into the card
Jun 24 01:37:08 <Mwyann> I'm gonna have a look about how to make it
Jun 24 01:37:13 <Kevin`> jffs2 is for writing to internal flash
Jun 24 01:38:24 <Mwyann> yes, and that's what I want
Jun 24 01:38:47 <Mwyann> I tried changing IMAGE_FSTYPES += " tar.bz2 " to IMAGE_FSTYPES += " jffs2 "
Jun 24 01:38:57 <Mwyann> bitbake is running, we'll see...
Jun 24 01:39:10 <Kevin`> your not installing to a card or hard drive?
Jun 24 01:39:17 <Mwyann> I simply hope it won't start all over again (but I doubt that)
Jun 24 01:39:31 <Mwyann> no, I got a CL-1000, with a nand-flash
Jun 24 01:39:51 <Mwyann> I don't want to use a SD as root (I want to be able to remove it anytime)
Jun 24 01:40:03 <Mwyann> and don't want to use CF because I already use Wifi on that
Jun 24 01:40:06 <Kevin`> what filename does updater.sh take for an internal flash image? it's been ages since I wrote one to that automatically
Jun 24 01:40:23 <Mwyann> seems to be initrd.bin
Jun 24 01:40:38 <Kevin`> that's.. interesting
Jun 24 01:40:56 <Mwyann> and it won't inflate it, but more liek dd'ing it
Jun 24 01:41:36 <Mwyann> because my renamed .tgz won't work but it "installed" anyway
Jun 24 01:43:07 <Mwyann> it took ages to compile, now I hope it will not, 'cause it's 03:43 AM here.
Jun 24 01:43:53 <Mwyann> and I have a rendez-vous at 10 AM
Jun 24 01:44:04 <Mwyann> bloody geeking :p
Jun 24 01:44:37 <Mwyann> it's installing mtd-utils, of course....
Jun 24 01:45:00 <Kevin`> yeah, looks like you are right:
Jun 24 01:45:01 <Kevin`> for TARGETFILE in u-boot.bin U-BOOT.BIN zimage zImage zImage.bin zimage.bin ZIMAGE ZIMAGE.BIN initrd.bin INITRD.BIN hdimage1.tgz HDIMAGE1.TGZ
Jun 24 01:45:19 <Mwyann> you were in doubt ? :p
Jun 24 01:45:22 <Kevin`> hehe
Jun 24 01:45:36 <Mwyann> you don't believe what I'm telling you ? :p
Jun 24 01:45:53 <Mwyann> the only images that installed correctly were initrd.bin so...
Jun 24 01:46:09 <Mwyann> that was only "good sense"
Jun 24 01:47:45 <Mwyann> yeah : Angstrom-base-image-glibc-ipk-2009.X-stable-akita.rootfs.jffs2
Jun 24 01:47:48 <Mwyann> it made it !
Jun 24 01:47:58 <Mwyann> so now I can build the x11 image, that's what I want
Jun 24 01:53:50 <Kevin`> mm, I reinstalled the os on SD, then accidently resumed the system instead of rebooting it
Jun 24 01:53:56 <Kevin`> this should be fun
Jun 24 01:54:43 <Mwyann> this should make a god mess in your files ;)
Jun 24 01:54:47 <Mwyann> good
Jun 24 02:03:22 <Mwyann> now flashing...
Jun 24 02:04:24 <Kevin`> grr, 2009 angstrom doesn't have the correct keymap. that's gonna be fun to fix
Jun 24 02:04:49 <Mwyann> are you kidding ? :p
Jun 24 02:04:52 <Kevin`> actually, the VT console works fine, it's just X
Jun 24 02:04:54 <Mwyann> which keymap is it ?
Jun 24 02:04:55 <Kevin`> wierd
Jun 24 02:05:11 <Mwyann> cannot get the one from 2007 ?
Jun 24 02:05:33 <Kevin`> well sure I can, but it's a bit hard without stuff like / or _ :)
Jun 24 02:05:43 <Mwyann> and stuff like ssh ? :p
Jun 24 02:05:49 <Mwyann> (and if VT works...)
Jun 24 02:06:02 <Mwyann> at last use the Virtual Keyboard
Jun 24 02:06:31 <Mwyann> "Rebooting"...
Jun 24 02:06:36 <Mwyann> suspense
Jun 24 02:07:09 <Mwyann> well it recognized the new root this time...
Jun 24 02:07:37 <Kevin`> hmm, and when I insert my wifi card (with the proper driver finally) it automatically downgrades the firmware :). not really a problem as I think both work fine
Jun 24 02:07:45 <Mwyann> Angstrom logo \o/
Jun 24 02:10:20 <Mwyann> "Configuring hal"... takes some time...
Jun 24 02:11:12 <Mwyann> I don't think it'll make it actually...
Jun 24 02:11:17 <TheStorm> heh nice I could never get my images to build
Jun 24 02:11:30 <TheStorm> it always errored :(
Jun 24 02:11:53 <Mwyann> error before or after the build ?
Jun 24 02:12:02 <TheStorm> durring the build
Jun 24 02:12:09 <TheStorm> things would fail to build
Jun 24 02:12:25 <Mwyann> like what ?
Jun 24 02:12:35 <Mwyann> I got into a problem at a moment
Jun 24 02:12:40 <TheStorm> gcc-native
Jun 24 02:12:41 <Mwyann> one little command saved me
Jun 24 02:12:47 <TheStorm> and stuff like that
Jun 24 02:12:52 <Mwyann> hm, that was not this one
Jun 24 02:13:24 <Mwyann> I got error when trying to make the update.sh file, I had to build something else and here I went
Jun 24 02:13:32 <Mwyann> rebooted my akita
Jun 24 02:13:45 <Mwyann> I hope it'll not "freeze" again
Jun 24 02:14:47 <Mwyann> seems to do it again
Jun 24 02:15:34 <Mwyann> TheStorm, I didn't wanted to get into troubles, I simply installed a fresh Debian in a VM and used it only for Angstrom building
Jun 24 02:15:41 <Mwyann> and it worked nicely
Jun 24 02:16:23 <TheStorm> Yeah I'm on arch linux, that might be the cause of the issues
Jun 24 02:16:38 <Mwyann> hmm, there's packages for it...
Jun 24 02:16:49 <Mwyann> did you follow these : http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom
Jun 24 02:16:53 <TheStorm> yes
Jun 24 02:17:17 <TheStorm> in fact I'm currently starting that process over for the 5th or 6th time
Jun 24 02:17:29 <Mwyann> ...
Jun 24 02:18:15 <TheStorm> because of the errors I wiped the slate clean a few time just to see if there was an issue
Jun 24 02:18:37 <Mwyann> well it crashed at another place this time,I reflash with 2007 and my update script, I don't want to make a "white night"
Jun 24 02:19:38 <TheStorm> my device, the h2200, has basically no flash so I've been running off of teh CF card
Jun 24 02:20:18 <Mwyann> I have problems with angtrom 2007 and the CF card reader, it won't work
Jun 24 02:20:22 <Mwyann> and I won't make it work
Jun 24 02:20:39 <Mwyann> but that's not a big problem, as I don't use it (I use wifi CF card)
Jun 24 02:22:24 <TheStorm> well the git clone is taking longer than last time...
Jun 24 02:28:10 <Mwyann> perhaps some day I'll upload my VM image if that can make someone happy....
Jun 24 02:28:39 <Mwyann> it justs takes about 7 GB...
Jun 24 02:33:05 <TheStorm> ok its gettext-native that is failing
Jun 24 02:33:58 <Mwyann> I'm updating
Jun 24 02:34:17 <Mwyann> and if it can help someone... http://wiki.mwyann.info/index.php5?title=%C3%85ngstr%C3%B6m-x11
Jun 24 02:34:26 <TheStorm> ok it seems the checksum for it is wrong and that is what is the issue
Jun 24 02:41:54 <TheStorm> where are the md5's stored so I can update them?
Jun 24 02:42:10 <Mwyann> "find" 'em :)
Jun 24 02:45:56 <TheStorm> ok I found it, how do i regenerate the md5 ;P
Jun 24 02:46:50 <Mwyann> maybe delete them, they'll generated again at rebuild
Jun 24 02:51:03 <TheStorm> lol now I get a segfualt
Jun 24 02:51:16 <TheStorm> though I fixed the MD5's
Jun 24 02:55:38 <Mwyann> is your CPU cold enough ? :p
Jun 24 02:55:48 <Mwyann> or do you have a good RAM ?
