**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 19 02:59:58 2006 Jan 19 07:45:53 Hi - I'm a gentoo uer, so a bit lost:) Is there a easy way to find out when a ipgk package as created? I have just installed mysql and it seems very broke - and on the bug tracker it looks like an fix/update was made today... Jan 19 07:47:59 For what it is worth - the scripts in the package are hard coded for the location mysql was built on someones cross compilation machine, rather than for the openslug distribution Jan 19 07:51:28 mtb: Did you use "ipkg install mysql" or did you build it with monotone? Jan 19 07:51:41 mtb: ah, you've installed mysql how long ago? Jan 19 07:52:02 did ipkg install mysql about one hour ago Jan 19 07:52:27 that includes the /etc/init.d/mysql script right? Jan 19 07:52:32 yep Jan 19 07:52:51 the message about that on the tracker made me think this is a new build Jan 19 07:53:05 "ipkg files mysql" will show installed files Jan 19 07:53:10 well, obviously I made a mistake somewhere :-P Jan 19 07:53:17 ah:) Jan 19 07:53:41 BTW gentoo rules! Jan 19 07:54:24 well, my 2nd gentoo install on this slug has failed, so I have put it off until my serila kit arrives Jan 19 07:54:58 mtb: why not go debian? ;) Jan 19 07:55:03 eeew Jan 19 07:55:39 anyway, what fails with the mysql build? Jan 19 07:56:01 most of the locations are wrong Jan 19 07:56:35 I think the gentoo-slug is just kicking off, so it not perfect yet... Jan 19 07:56:48 for example, mysqld_safe has locations hard coded to a location on the machine you cross compiled on Jan 19 07:56:59 There's some info on forums.gentoo.org... Jan 19 07:57:10 yeah, I have tried both types Jan 19 07:57:38 the install using the standard kernel, and yesterday the new german install using a gentoo kernel Jan 19 07:57:41 mtb: mind mailing me the scripts that are erroneous? I donn't have the test slug available right now Jan 19 07:58:14 er... I've been cutting chunks out of them:) Jan 19 07:58:33 ah Jan 19 07:58:45 If I can workout how the base directory is set I might get it working, but I can't find my.cnf.... Jan 19 07:59:23 nm, I'll rebuild it on another box Jan 19 08:00:12 hang on, my second slug might have a clean install on Jan 19 08:03:03 I don't know mysql 4.1 - but shouldn't it have a my.cnf file like 4.0? No sign of it in the standard two locations Jan 19 08:03:20 hmm Jan 19 08:03:21 dunno Jan 19 08:03:32 The mysql install is pretty hacked up ;-) Jan 19 08:03:38 ah.... Jan 19 08:04:16 I built it native on my first gentoo install - took 2 days but works fine:) If only I could get that install to boot:) Jan 19 08:09:51 from my gentoo build: Jan 19 08:10:18 # This file can be simultaneously placed in three places: Jan 19 08:10:18 # 1. /etc/mysql/my.cnf to set global options. Jan 19 08:10:18 # 2. /var/lib/mysql/my.cnf to set server-specific options. Jan 19 08:10:18 # 3. ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options. Jan 19 08:11:02 if there is no my.cnf, how is the base location for data files defined? Jan 19 08:11:28 especially as they are not in the default location:) Jan 19 08:14:55 good question ;-) Jan 19 08:18:52 hm.. another machine on which 2.6.15 acts up, what a strange kernel release :) Jan 19 08:20:02 if you are debian users, shouldn't you be on the 2.2 kernel? :) Jan 19 08:20:08 haha Jan 19 08:20:09 no Jan 19 08:20:53 on my desktop the catweasel keyboard driver doesnt work with it, on my (acer) laptop the acerhk driver simply turns all extra keys to "instant freeze" buttons, and on the amiga the bootloader simply refuses to kick the kernel Jan 19 08:21:14 think I'll stick around with 2.6.14 for a while :) Jan 19 08:21:39 I like the "instant freeze" buttons. It's a feature, not a bug :-P Jan 19 08:21:54 btw, 2.6.15.1 has been released Jan 19 08:23:47 .1 didnt make any difference for me :/ Jan 19 08:24:46 NAiL: btw, are you with NTNU? Jan 19 08:24:59 nope Jan 19 08:25:12 I wish ;-) Jan 19 08:25:21 I'd like a studby hybel with 100mbit ;-) Jan 19 08:25:31 :) Jan 19 08:25:37 aol Jan 19 08:26:25 kolla: don't you like... have *enoughÆ* bandwidth at work? :D Jan 19 08:26:32 I just heard on the radio that some of the stud's from NTNU was kicked out of a skiing place in sweden, the partied to hard... :-) Jan 19 08:26:56 was kind of depressing to find out that my mum has 8 times the capasity on her ADSL than I have on mine :P Jan 19 08:27:11 NAiL: yes, but not at home :/ Jan 19 08:27:35 only 1024kb/256kb Jan 19 08:27:45 'bout the same as here, I think Jan 19 08:28:19 but I do have native IPv6 and multicast etc :) Jan 19 08:30:38 but these days I'm moving into my new apartment, and there I dont have anything myself yet, but I'm allowed to use the AP of one the neighbours for now :) Jan 19 08:39:34 OK, NAiL... Jan 19 08:40:39 If you fix locations in mysqld_safe (search for slug), and then make the permission changes suggested in the mysql bug thread: Jan 19 08:40:44 mtb: looks like all the scripts for some reason gets the /home/repvik/whatever path Jan 19 08:40:54 chmod a+t /tmp Jan 19 08:41:05 chown -R mysql /var/mysql/mysql Jan 19 08:41:12 I have a working mysql:) Jan 19 08:41:35 yeo:) I was looking at repvik thinking HUH??? Jan 19 08:42:34 chmod a+t /tmp won't do much. /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp, which already IS a+t Jan 19 08:43:15 then I guess that the /var/mysql/mysql is the problem - home of host.cnf Jan 19 08:43:48 I'll do the chown, and fixup the scripts. That should fix most of the problems, I guess ;-) Jan 19 08:44:09 nice one - thanks Jan 19 08:48:26 mysql.server: pid_file=$datadir/`/home/repvik/slug/releases/OpenSlug-2.7-beta/tmp/staging/i686-linux/bin/hostname`.pid Jan 19 08:48:30 Yay... Jan 19 12:11:39 How similar are .bb files and gentoo ebuild files? Is it possible to "convert" them to bb files? Jan 19 13:30:58 <[g2]> rwhitby tbm ping Jan 19 13:33:23 [g2]: yeah? Jan 19 13:33:52 <[g2]> tbm do you have a ARM LE debootstrap around somewhere ? Jan 19 13:34:11 [g2]: the program or a tar ball of a base system? Jan 19 13:34:27 <[g2]> tarball of the base system Jan 19 13:34:44 <[g2]> then I can just chroot and debootstrap from there Jan 19 13:35:43 sure, do you have a site where I can upload it to? Jan 19 13:35:58 [g2]: I just sent you and email about the loft Jan 19 13:36:01 <[g2]> can I wget it from somewhere ? Jan 19 13:36:13 <[g2]> koen will check Jan 19 14:09:07 [g2]: pong Jan 19 14:09:50 [g2]: why not just follow the wiki/DebianSlug/Bootstrap procedures to build your own rootfs? Jan 19 16:21:47 j Jan 19 22:44:25 Has anyone here ever done a "fis init" in redboot? Jan 20 00:18:08 [g2]: ping? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jan 20 02:59:58 2006
