**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 30 02:59:59 2012 Sep 30 12:20:43 Hey guys, I've got a question. Where can I find the kernelsources of the beaglebone inside the OE directory? I'm trying to crosscompile kernel modules but I can't find the sources Sep 30 12:31:54 flitjes: should in tmp-eglibc/work/beaglebone-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/linux-something/git Sep 30 12:32:17 or something like this Sep 30 12:32:58 Ok thnx Sep 30 13:02:26 hello Sep 30 13:07:25 zoidberg: to create jffs2 images you need to add jffs2 in the IMAGE_FSTYPES variable Sep 30 13:08:08 in local.conf for example add IMAGE_FSTYPES += " jffs2 " Sep 30 13:08:12 it should work Sep 30 18:28:51 yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay handhelds.org will be up again tomorrow ... :-( feels sad to know that this wont happen Sep 30 18:51:58 what are you dreaming of at nights? Sep 30 18:54:18 wtf Sep 30 18:54:59 heh Sep 30 18:55:12 how often is that message changed Sep 30 19:16:27 i dunno but someone or something changes this message Sep 30 19:16:53 i believe that this is a script wich changes the tate once in a while Sep 30 19:18:44 its google adsense Sep 30 19:18:48 they know about us Sep 30 19:18:59 longing for the return of handhelds.org Sep 30 19:19:12 ^^ Sep 30 19:19:18 yes maybe Sep 30 19:19:52 its so sad that a great site like this is just gone Sep 30 19:21:22 another site wich i miss very much is opensimpad.org Sep 30 21:49:23 I'm trying to build a custom Angstrom distro to act as a simple web Kiosk, i.e. boot straight into an environment where a browser occupies the entire screen and cannot be closed (and re-opens if it crashes) Sep 30 21:49:42 any ideas/suggestions/thoughts would be very much appreciated. Sep 30 22:01:15 what hardware are u using? Sep 30 22:01:50 did you consider the obvious alternatives(which might also be cheaper in the end and will surely be easier to implement) Sep 30 22:02:15 you can use meta-chromium or meta-firefox for browsers Sep 30 22:02:28 chromium has a -kiosk option Sep 30 22:04:59 firefox is a bad idea Sep 30 22:05:05 you can easily break out from firefox Sep 30 22:05:08 i agree :) Sep 30 22:05:26 depends on the hardware, it's great on core i7 Sep 30 22:05:45 yeah, but for the purpose of a kiosk system, its wrong Sep 30 22:06:07 because you can launch a shell/whatever application/script from firefox Sep 30 22:06:18 which is what you probably dont want on a kiosk system Sep 30 22:07:27 indeed Sep 30 22:08:06 It's on a Beagleboard-Xm Sep 30 22:09:05 I'm thinking going for xfce for WM since it's lighter than gnome and seems well supported in Angstrom, and mayb midori for the browser? I may try Chromuim too Sep 30 22:10:00 obviously trying to make it lightweight as possible, literally doesn't need to do anything other than run a web browser full screen, no plugins either (java, flash, etc) Sep 30 22:10:08 did you consider using a panel pc with a regular x86 linux? Sep 30 22:10:45 you can setup those things within an hour, and given they are a bit more expensive than a beagleboard, they are also made to resist rough handling Sep 30 22:10:46 I don't have control over the whole project, has to be a BB-xM, I just have mostly full control over software Sep 30 22:11:00 aka kids with lots of pressure, animals, rainfall, thieves Sep 30 22:11:49 I'm not in control of the system (hardware, etc) Sep 30 22:12:02 yeah, then talk to the guy in control Sep 30 22:12:20 not that I want to discourage you from using embedded devices with awesome linux Sep 30 22:12:35 its just that you dont always need to invent the wheel twice Sep 30 22:12:46 lol, subcontracting, not my place, I'm just doing the job I was asked to do, and getting paid for it Sep 30 22:12:53 hehe Sep 30 22:13:13 as I said, I dont mean to be offensive Sep 30 22:13:26 and if someones paying you to spend your time, thats fine Sep 30 22:13:36 I'd vote for chromium then as well Sep 30 22:13:39 yeah, I mean, you're right about going with something else Sep 30 22:13:52 or a self-built version of konqueror(which i like very much) Sep 30 22:14:10 but hey, money is money, and I know I can get it all done with OE/Angstrom one way or another Sep 30 22:14:40 you could look at the archos images Sep 30 22:14:54 their older pad's browsers are pretty much what you're looking for Sep 30 22:15:06 and you could copy from them Sep 30 22:16:11 not familiar, do they have recipes? I'm not getting paid THAT much, so a somewhat rough job is fine Sep 30 22:16:25 function over form Sep 30 22:16:31 nah, archos is selling linux as closed source Sep 30 22:16:38 but their concept is good Sep 30 22:16:46 ah **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Oct 01 02:59:59 2012
