**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 18 03:00:02 2012 Oct 18 03:00:10 hi Oct 18 03:25:43 ah, now I'm getting "Package version for package luna-sysmgr-dbg went backwards which would break package feeds ..." (known issue) Oct 18 03:31:34 did you make update first? Oct 18 03:32:21 ka6sox, yep Oct 18 03:32:39 and just tried make update again and I don't think anything changed Oct 18 03:33:05 guess roger didn't get to it yet Oct 18 03:33:05 I thought I heard it wouldn't be fixed until tomorrow Oct 18 03:33:40 ah, tomorrow Oct 18 03:58:14 folks Oct 18 03:58:38 hey bhuey Oct 18 03:58:57 whatz up ? Oct 18 03:59:46 not much.. just researched a book i found for free at a bookstore and found out it's worth $130 lol Oct 18 03:59:47 http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Web-Graphics-Matt-Slaybaugh/dp/061903470X Oct 18 04:01:39 $130 or $0.01+shipping :P Oct 18 04:01:46 haha Oct 18 04:01:50 or free for me :P Oct 18 09:43:04 Morning ! Oct 18 09:44:04 morning Oct 18 09:44:47 I now have my fork, but I still need to converge for the build of my machine Oct 18 09:45:30 All is in github.com/Tofee Oct 18 09:48:38 Tofe: looks good Oct 18 09:51:48 Tofe: why do you keep tuna as COMPATIBLE_MACHINE in kernel recipe? Oct 18 09:52:58 a mistake. I just fixed it. Oct 18 09:53:35 There are still some mistakes, for sure, because the OE sanity check fails to validate my machine name, but I'll find out soon :) Oct 18 09:54:06 ok, let me know if you need help Oct 18 09:55:13 what's that sanity check error? Oct 18 09:55:57 and did you forget to add meta-acer layer to setup-scripts? Oct 18 09:56:31 yes, that was that. fixed. Oct 18 09:57:52 ok, now it is parsing recipes, it could be a long time before it gets stuck on another mistake Oct 18 09:58:38 qt4-webos will probably fail Oct 18 09:59:25 ah, I shouldn't have renamed the bbappend files Oct 18 10:00:05 but that's a bit weird: will it take into account the bbappend of the meta-samsung directory ? Oct 18 10:00:30 yes from all layers included in bblayers.conf Oct 18 10:00:38 (sorry I ddin't read the 176 pages of the PDF for OE... yet ;) ) Oct 18 10:00:55 ah, ok, thanks Oct 18 10:01:04 but MACHINE specific changes (in bbappend) should be applied with machine override Oct 18 10:01:17 so bbappends should not influence each other Oct 18 10:02:35 ok, so they can have the same bbappend name, as long as I speficy for which machine it is Oct 18 10:02:54 yes Oct 18 10:03:03 ok, I'll do that after lunch :) Oct 18 11:24:38 in a bbappend, if I want my bbappend to be machine-specific, I simply put a COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "a500" ? no "+=" ? Do I have also to modify the bbappend from meta-samsung, which has no MACHINE_COMPATIBLE specified ? Oct 18 11:43:25 morning Oct 18 11:44:19 morning Oct 18 13:10:24 ka6sox-away: here's the log about luna-sysmgr build fail pastebin.com/JvXXcDdH Oct 18 13:52:35 "nyx-lib.bb, do_fetch" failed because of a wrong git command... Is that a known issue ? Oct 18 13:53:36 no, show that wrong command Oct 18 13:53:57 Currently 16 running tasks (418 of 4547): Oct 18 13:54:14 hi, JaMa Oct 18 13:54:20 error: option `mirror' takes no value Oct 18 13:54:37 usage: git remote add [] Oct 18 13:54:52 Tofe: pastebin whole output please (or rather log.do_fetch file) Oct 18 13:55:07 ok, one moment Oct 18 13:56:51 that may take some time, I'm in text mode on a remote machine ^^ Oct 18 13:57:22 btw do you have webos-ports mirror disabled? Oct 18 13:57:35 Tofe: it should not even try to checkout it (just use tarball from premirror) Oct 18 13:58:23 sorry, wrong click Oct 18 13:58:32 do I have what enabled ? Oct 18 13:58:58 Tofe: inherit webos-ports-mirrors in local.conf Oct 18 13:59:12 okay Oct 18 13:59:53 it should be there by default Oct 18 14:00:01 it is Oct 18 14:00:55 but the pb seems to be that the command uses "--mirror=fetch", which is perhaps not supported in my git version Oct 18 14:00:57 do_fetch finished here just fine now Oct 18 14:01:24 what git version do you have? Oct 18 14:02:53 you can build git-native if your distro does not provide git new enough Oct 18 14:02:55 1.7.4.1 Oct 18 14:03:13 (Ubuntu 11.04 ... Oct 18 14:03:19 ) Oct 18 14:03:56 http://pastebin.com/5PbDGhnr <--- it's quite badly formatted, sorry for that Oct 18 14:04:07 1.7.6 or newer is needed Oct 18 14:04:28 Okay, I'll find a way Oct 18 14:05:08 maybe older, 1.7.6 is for --no-abbrev, not sure when --mirror=fetch was added Oct 18 14:07:45 I found a PPA for Natty with 1.7.11, so that'll be ok Oct 18 14:07:52 well you're not alone http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2012-August/041070.html Oct 18 14:11:37 Tofe1: but still please try bitbake -l Fetcher -c fetch -f nyx-lib and send me that log.do_fetch Oct 18 14:12:23 Ah, too late, git is already upgraded and running Oct 18 14:13:11 but I would have another question for you: Oct 18 14:14:01 I've got this "Nothing PROVIDES 'virtual/arm-webos-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.4.1' " because I used a KERNEL_CCSUFFIX="-4.4.1" Oct 18 14:14:09 fine even with new git Oct 18 14:14:23 I want to know why premirror wasn't used in your case Oct 18 14:14:24 isn't it the way it is supposed to be used ? Oct 18 14:14:30 ah, oh. Oct 18 14:14:45 I'll try your command Oct 18 14:15:23 it should just download http://sources.webos-ports.org/webos-ports/git2_github.com.openwebos.nyx-lib.tar.gz Oct 18 14:15:35 see http://bpaste.net/show/51993/ to compare Oct 18 14:16:04 Tofe1: why did you add KERNEL_CCSUFFIX="-4.4.1" ? Oct 18 14:16:43 there is gcc-4.7.2 only now Oct 18 14:16:55 and doesn't make much sense to force gcc-4.4.1 nowadays Oct 18 14:17:15 JaMa: because my kernel only compiles well with that 4.4 version Oct 18 14:17:23 At least I think so Oct 18 14:17:31 otherwise it won't boot Oct 18 14:18:16 see what fixes we have for tuna and other kernels Oct 18 14:18:27 Another possibility would be that OE introduced incompatible options in defconfig, but I doubt that Oct 18 14:18:30 then it should work (if it's that alignment issue we had) Oct 18 14:18:45 JaMa: can webos-ports-env share *downloads* folder with build-webos? Oct 18 14:18:58 panda-z: yes Oct 18 14:19:30 k, make sense Oct 18 14:20:14 panda-z: add BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1" to your local.conf to share also git checkouts (if you sometimes do own checkout - e.g. when it's not yet available on our mirror) Oct 18 14:22:55 JaMa: kk, another question: why my boost built libs are native (64-bit), but not target arch(e.q) Oct 18 14:23:06 s/e.q/e.g arm/ Oct 18 14:23:06 panda-z meant: JaMa: kk, another question: why my boost built libs are native (64-bit), but not target arch(e.g arm) Oct 18 14:24:26 panda-z: was it building boost or boost-native? did sanity check of elf headers fail? Oct 18 14:24:36 JaMa: what kind of "fixes" are you talking about ? patches ? options ? Oct 18 14:25:16 I only adapted the kernel .bb of tuna, so I have the same options in there for gcc Oct 18 14:25:19 Tofe1: let me find thread about it Oct 18 14:25:25 it needs patch in kernel Oct 18 14:25:30 Oh. Oct 18 14:26:07 JaMa: it is boost, not boost-native. and i am using build-webos and the target is qemuarm Oct 18 14:26:31 morning Oct 18 14:26:54 Tofe1: is it only runtime problem or does it fail to build too? Oct 18 14:27:24 It builds fine Oct 18 14:27:24 Tofe1: for newer binutils (2.23 which we're not using by default, you'll need https://github.com/shr-distribution/linux/commit/37b0bacc00e81811dc113265a9ef826fe9aab788) Oct 18 14:29:17 Does this only fix build errors, or also this alinment issues ? Oct 18 14:30:51 Tofe1: btw that --mirror option was changed 2y ago here https://github.com/git/git/commit/a9f5a3558dcf83440c60ae5a2e2b56c80d65bb0b Oct 18 14:31:19 Tofe1: kernel does not start without that patch (hangs) when newer gcc-4.6 or 4.7* is used Oct 18 14:31:19 2 years ? oh gosh Oct 18 14:31:46 JaMa: ok, that's it then. Thanks a lot ! Oct 18 14:32:28 ok found it https://github.com/shr-distribution/linux/commit/0333777365bef05b336d4f4a06bb3b37f4ada838 Oct 18 14:33:13 does not start without this patch, does not build with newer binutils (I'm using) without that previous patch Oct 18 14:34:19 perfect, I wouldn't have found it myself ! Oct 18 14:35:23 panda-z: I don't know then, builds right boost binaries here Oct 18 14:35:57 Tofe1: this is original commit https://github.com/shr-distribution/linux/commit/78ffc81db8911acdabd026ad3fdefa20b4e34e52 Oct 18 14:36:47 JaMa: my guess maybe this is an issue with zsh Oct 18 14:37:23 did someone notice the questions about hw-accelerated cards on the open-webos mailinglist? Oct 18 14:37:33 I've seen that email Oct 18 14:37:34 will figure out what's the problem Oct 18 14:38:01 panda-z: maybe, but that would be very weird Oct 18 14:38:42 maybe I should subscribe to this mailinglist... Oct 18 14:43:45 swisstomcat, I saw them, but before coffee...after coffee I'll re-read Oct 18 15:19:28 hmm Oct 18 15:19:32 maybe a porting target? Oct 18 15:19:37 quite cheap here Oct 18 15:19:37 http://www.lenco.eu/p/tab-9701/ Oct 18 15:20:59 but what's a "Boxchip A10"? Oct 18 15:30:25 bbl...much l Oct 18 15:31:21 apparently, the boxchip a10 is a chinese a8 cpu with mali-400 gpu Oct 18 15:35:19 hi Oct 18 16:15:09 morning Oct 18 17:16:46 oops: "EGL/egl.h: No such file or directory" for qt4-webos... Oct 18 17:17:07 why is it found on the tuna machine ? Oct 18 17:18:29 ah, yes, I see: my libgles isn't ready yet, and doesn't _actually_ provide "virtual/egl". Oct 18 17:25:12 good morning ladies, gentlemens and aliens Oct 18 17:25:46 morning ! Oct 18 17:28:59 Hey ! there are hardcoded values in qt4-webos.bb ! not nice ! Oct 18 17:29:31 * Tofe discretely adds his own hardcoded value Oct 18 17:35:09 Tofe: sorry Oct 18 17:35:41 what's hardcoded? Oct 18 17:35:55 if this_machine == "tuna" ... blabla Oct 18 17:36:27 in order to set the correct configure options for qws Oct 18 17:37:07 but looks like that was not really the problem here, anyway Oct 18 17:41:42 aaaawww yeah! fresh webos-dev-image with gesture area Oct 18 17:43:38 :) Oct 18 17:43:41 hmmm, RNDIS isn't working though Oct 18 17:44:11 I tried to ssh in as root, it told me key had changed, I removed old key, and now I can't even ping it Oct 18 17:47:01 Tofe: and it also needs bbappend like tuna has Oct 18 17:47:19 oh, I missed that one. Oct 18 17:47:20 Tofe: and those hardcoded machine names are also inside qt code.. Oct 18 17:47:32 oh ? funny :) Oct 18 17:47:49 unplug USB and re-plug got RNDIS back Oct 18 17:48:08 Tofe: https://github.com/openwebos/qt/commit/c104e82bf1e7eebf696a385a4f57f94533fbd928 Oct 18 17:48:09 I think NetwoekMangler on host had something to do with it Oct 18 17:48:18 etc.. Oct 18 17:48:58 wow. lots of fun ahead... Oct 18 17:50:04 qt4-webos just needs to be rewritten from scratch.. Oct 18 17:50:12 I've replaced it with qt4-embedded bbappend Oct 18 17:51:07 so that metadata provide all information about what to build for specified device (or better architecture - to keep it PACKAGE_ARCH == TUNE_PKGARCH instead of MACHINE_ARCH) Oct 18 17:51:34 yes, that's better Oct 18 17:52:36 Tofe: see https://github.com/webOS-ports/meta-webos/commits/jansa/master-qt4-embedded if you're interested Oct 18 17:52:40 but it's not finished yet Oct 18 17:53:10 ok, thanks, seems promising Oct 18 17:53:28 in the meantime, I'll just modify the bbappend to my current needs Oct 18 17:53:40 knowing that it won't be ever committed Oct 18 17:55:49 Currently, also, I disabled the samsung layer completely, in order to avoid parasites Oct 18 17:55:51 so... when can I play doom? Oct 18 18:00:52 not yet on a500, but I'm working on it Oct 18 18:00:59 Tofe: can you describe what parasites you've seen? Oct 18 18:01:14 Tofe: we should fix that in meta-samsung if that's the case Oct 18 18:01:44 to make it short: several bbappend in recipes-core that don't contain any COMPATIBLE_MACHINE="(crespo|tuna)" line Oct 18 18:02:02 that's correct Oct 18 18:02:09 they cannot contain that Oct 18 18:02:17 ah. I'm confused :) Oct 18 18:02:33 COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is "global" for whole recipe Oct 18 18:02:51 ok, I thought it could be also for one bbappend Oct 18 18:02:51 so if meta-samsung does that in bbappend then you cannot build it for anything else then crespo or tuna Oct 18 18:03:07 Tofe: no original .bb and all .bbappends are merged together Oct 18 18:03:22 I realize that now, yes Oct 18 18:03:27 and the result is parsed as it was one bigger .bb Oct 18 18:04:11 but then, I'm not sure what I should put in my bbappend file on my "a500" side, when I want for example to include one more file (like for xorg.conf, or udev rules) Oct 18 18:04:50 do the same as meta-samsung does Oct 18 18:04:55 ok Oct 18 18:05:39 everything in BSP layer should be applied with override Oct 18 18:05:46 so if you want extra dependency you do: Oct 18 18:05:55 DEPENDS_append_a500 Oct 18 18:06:11 as I don't know what those "PRINC" lines were, I was hesitating Oct 18 18:06:51 if you have own xorg.conf then you put it in a500 subdirectory (which is searched in FILESPATH) and add current dir to FILESPATH with: Oct 18 18:06:54 FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:" Oct 18 18:07:04 PRINC is PR increment Oct 18 18:07:13 aaah Oct 18 18:07:17 use this syntax Oct 18 18:07:20 PRINC := "${@int(PRINC) + N}" Oct 18 18:07:32 I do now understand ! thanks ! Oct 18 18:07:34 so that PRINC from all .bbappends are combined to 1 numeric value Oct 18 18:07:54 sum of all N across all bbappends Oct 18 18:09:28 that's a really nice way to handle it Oct 18 18:13:31 what's the root password? .-. Oct 18 18:15:04 there isn't any Oct 18 18:16:04 but isn't working... Oct 18 18:18:23 hmmmmm, http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/18/google-launches-11-6-inch-arm-based-samsung-chromebook-249-ul/ Oct 18 18:18:58 linuxjacques: interesting Oct 18 18:20:10 I wonder how locked down it is Oct 18 18:20:29 a lot imho Oct 18 18:22:24 gianguido, re your password problem; you build a dev image and you can't ssh in? Oct 18 18:24:10 yup Oct 18 18:28:42 what happens exactly? you get a password prompt? Oct 18 18:29:12 you are doing "ssh root@192.168.7.2" Oct 18 18:29:14 ? Oct 18 18:29:16 yes, of course Oct 18 18:29:57 hmm, I am out of ideas then :-\ Oct 18 18:30:11 I am ssh'd into mine right now Oct 18 18:30:24 that's sooo strange Oct 18 18:30:26 a lot Oct 18 18:33:35 i'm rebuilding right now with new sources linuxjacques Oct 18 18:34:56 i love ssd <3 it builds a LOT faster! Oct 18 18:45:30 rwhitby, ShiftyAxel|Away, ka6sox-away: updated Phoenix cut-copy-paste repo. https://github.com/phxdevices/LunaSysMgr Oct 18 18:56:17 finally got webos working! now i can develop Oct 18 18:57:07 gianguido, ssh works now? Oct 18 18:57:07 gianguido: awesome! what wasn't working before? and what are you going to develop? Oct 18 18:57:14 morning linuxjacques Oct 18 18:57:23 morning PatrickC_TP Oct 18 18:57:33 linuxjacques: lemme try, this build works OOB Oct 18 18:58:12 PatrickC simply all :D my pc wasn't building, so i've used my brother's pc with an intel i5 quad core and an ssd Oct 18 18:58:17 build succesful Oct 18 18:58:27 wow.. some nice specs :) Oct 18 18:58:38 i run an i7 dual core with a regular platter drive.. Oct 18 18:58:39 yeah the SSD really helps Oct 18 18:58:50 PatrickC he uses this specs to play minecraft. Oct 18 18:59:21 gianguido: really? :P Oct 18 18:59:29 PatrickC really :-/ Oct 18 18:59:29 mines a dev machine (or that's why it was purchased) Oct 18 18:59:38 what's your machine? Oct 18 18:59:51 my main machine is a samsung r530-js02 Oct 18 19:00:12 intel core2duo t6600 clocked at 2.20ghz, 4gig of ddr3 ram and an nvidia 310m Oct 18 19:00:57 ah. nice Oct 18 19:01:02 old :D Oct 18 19:01:43 heh.. my last laptop had a first gen i3 with 3gb ram Oct 18 19:01:58 so you got me in ram alone on my old build machine :) then i saved up and bought a macbook lol Oct 18 19:02:37 macbook D: Oct 18 19:02:57 really don't like this kind of notebooks Oct 18 19:03:02 *that Oct 18 19:03:08 yep.. 13" i7, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD 7200 RPM Oct 18 19:03:35 a beasty macbook Oct 18 19:04:53 yep. only a dual core i7 though. still rocks Oct 18 19:05:02 but hyperthreaded Oct 18 19:05:18 yep Oct 18 19:05:25 i7 ivy bridge Oct 18 19:05:33 mid 2012 model macbook pro Oct 18 19:06:14 great design, great build quality and materials but a bit expensive Oct 18 19:07:45 yeah. one drawbacks about macbooks... expense Oct 18 19:08:01 gianguido: what are you going to work on for OWOS? Oct 18 19:09:06 firstly i'm going to read all the docs i can find :D i was developing some tweaks for personal use on webos 1.4.x, i don't know how is the system now Oct 18 19:09:24 then... well, i'll see! Oct 18 19:10:03 lol Oct 18 19:10:05 nice Oct 18 19:10:36 morning dkirker. long time no talk Oct 18 19:27:28 ah, I got a configure error on nyx-modules.bb : udev was not found. Oct 18 19:27:52 is the correct fix to add udev in DEPENDS to nyx-modules ? Oct 18 19:28:16 I haven't had that error (yet) Oct 18 19:29:10 linuxjacques: I don't use the "tuna" machine, or even the samsung layer, I'm building up my acer layer, so I may have made mistakes Oct 18 19:37:13 gianguido: if you're not broke, clock that c2d. my 4400 does 3.3ghz Oct 18 19:37:18 morning EricBlade Oct 18 19:37:37 EricBlade: i'm on a notebook Oct 18 19:37:45 gianguido: oh. sad.

Oct 18 19:48:09 Tofe, ah yeah I forgot that Oct 18 22:01:32 PatrickC: that repo now looks correct Oct 18 22:01:38 thanks rwhitby Oct 18 22:30:48 Good evening Oct 18 22:30:59 evening Derek____ Oct 18 22:31:42 how goes it Oct 18 22:31:45 So.... it never ends.

Oct 18 22:42:36 http://pastebin.com/WCf30bJv Oct 18 22:43:14 can you pastebin the last 50-60 lines of /home/parallels/build/webos-ports-env/webos-ports/tmp-eglibc/work/armv7a-vfp-neon-webos-linux-gnueabi/webkit-webos-1.3-0.54-r4/temp/log.do_compile.27178 Oct 18 22:43:38 derek_____: how much ram+swap do you have? Oct 18 22:43:51 derek_____: check dmesg if bitbake was killed by OOM killer Oct 18 22:43:58 and enable more swap Oct 18 22:44:07 Running with 4GB dedicated to the VM. Oct 18 22:44:13 that's too low Oct 18 22:44:26 You've got to be kidding me. Oct 18 22:44:40 add swap Oct 18 22:44:51 <-- Linux noob. Explain Oct 18 22:45:07 do you know dd? Oct 18 22:45:30 create 2G empty file with dd, mkswap that_file.img; swapon that_file.img Oct 18 22:45:33 that's a lot of ________ Oct 18 22:46:16 wait...4gb of memory isn't enough to compile something? crap. guess I'm not going to ever be building this Oct 18 22:46:49 Simpler terms, JaMa. Oct 18 22:46:58 yes webkit takes a lot of ram to link Oct 18 22:47:22 I've built webkit on my desktop... Oct 18 22:47:38 while running other stuff.... and which has 4gb in total Oct 18 22:47:38 the difference are debug symbols Oct 18 22:47:47 there's no way I'm going to be able to give 4gb to a vm Oct 18 22:47:52 which are stripped later (in do_package to create -dbg packages) Oct 18 22:48:15 so it's linking huge files before stripping Oct 18 22:48:17 I have 8GB on this computer, half of it is dedicated to the VM. Oct 18 22:48:25 just create that swap Oct 18 22:48:42 it needs that amount of ram only for few minutes Oct 18 22:49:46 I ask again, how do I, as a human, increase my swap space? Oct 18 22:50:01 derek_____, type dd if=/dev/zero of=swap_2gb.img bs=2048 count=1000 Oct 18 22:50:21 then mkswap swap_2gb.img Oct 18 22:50:27 dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024k count=2048 ; mkswap /swapfile ; swapon /swapfile Oct 18 22:50:43 then swapon swap_2gb.img Oct 18 22:51:35 derek_____: no offence, but why do you want to build it yourself when you don't know the basics? Oct 18 22:51:38 swapon: swap_2gb.img: swapon failed: Operation not permitted Oct 18 22:51:45 you need to do it as root Oct 18 22:51:49 Because I run webOS Nation. Oct 18 22:51:53 Oh. Oct 18 22:52:15 derek_____, sory, forgot the sudo :/ Oct 18 22:52:37 all 3 of those commands will need sudo Oct 18 22:52:44 2048*1000 = 2mb ;) Oct 18 22:52:49 ~ Oct 18 22:53:15 only last one needs sudo Oct 18 22:53:48 How do I check that this worked? Oct 18 22:53:51 scoutcamper: the last one is the only one that strictly requires root, but you are correct the file used as swap should be root: mode=600 Oct 18 22:53:59 derek_____: type "free" Oct 18 22:54:01 swapon -s Oct 18 22:54:33 * scoutcamper steps out of the way and goes back to his paying job Oct 18 22:54:54 Says total swap is 1048520 Oct 18 22:55:17 That seems low? Oct 18 22:55:26 that's only 1G Oct 18 22:55:32 but could be enough now Oct 18 22:55:55 depends on how many bitbake threads you're using etc Oct 18 22:56:05 Give Machine another run? Oct 18 22:56:27 you can try Oct 18 22:56:40 Here goes... Oct 18 22:57:18 Running. Thanks for the help. Oct 18 22:57:24 Sheesh, who let Derek in? Oct 18 22:59:45 That’s what you get for leaving the door open. Oct 18 23:00:01 heh Oct 18 23:00:24 * rwhitby wants to see Derek's compile log on the front page Oct 18 23:01:47 Oh, what a mess that would be. This is my *counts on fingers* sixth attempt? Oct 18 23:11:50 Still failing. Do I need more swap space? Oct 18 23:12:17 derek_____, likely yes Oct 18 23:12:27 so, do the following commands Oct 18 23:12:27 Sigh Oct 18 23:12:55 are we sure it's an OM killer issue? Oct 18 23:12:55 sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=swap_2gb.img bs=1024k count=2048 Oct 18 23:13:11 it could also be something else, the real cause is not shown on that part of log Oct 18 23:13:13 sudo mkswap swap_2gb.img Oct 18 23:13:14 maybe this is a different error Oct 18 23:13:24 and you didn't say if you've seen OOMK in dmesg Oct 18 23:13:26 "dd: opening `swap_2gb.img': Text file busy" Oct 18 23:13:31 sudo swapon swap_2gb.img Oct 18 23:13:40 oh, right Oct 18 23:13:40 heh Oct 18 23:14:01 just add a second swap device / file Oct 18 23:14:21 linuxjacques, can you talk him though this? i need to get back to work... Oct 18 23:14:24 and bitbake -c cleansstate webkit-webos could be needed too if some broken .o files are left around Oct 18 23:14:55 scoutcamper, ok Oct 18 23:15:28 linuxjacques: You're talking to a learning Linux noob here. Human terms are appreciated. Oct 18 23:16:12 derek_____, if you remember / have in history what you did last time to add swap, you can do same thing with a different swap file name Oct 18 23:16:17 the swap will be additive Oct 18 23:16:39 I was told this before: Oct 18 23:16:41 dd if=/dev/zero of=swap_2gb.img bs=2048 count=1000 Oct 18 23:16:45 (though I'm not yet convinced this is a memory issue) Oct 18 23:16:58 mkswap swap_2gb.img Oct 18 23:17:06 sudo swapon swap_2gb.img Oct 18 23:17:22 yeah, so "dd if=/dev/zero of=swap2_2gb.img bs=2048 count=1000" Oct 18 23:17:27 I change the .img name in mkswap, no? Oct 18 23:17:39 yeah change the .img name in all the commands Oct 18 23:18:02 then do "swapon -s" Oct 18 23:19:13 size: 1046524 Oct 18 23:19:21 something strange is going on Oct 18 23:19:25 Before: 1048520 Oct 18 23:19:36 Greaaaat. Oct 18 23:20:03 Is it possible that something with being a VM is interfering? Oct 18 23:20:03 when I do "swapon -s" I get something like: Oct 18 23:20:03 Filename Type Size Used Priority Oct 18 23:20:03 /dev/sda7 partition 9437180 0 0 Oct 18 23:20:17 Filename Type Size Used Priority Oct 18 23:20:45 /dev/sda5 partition 1046524 1042056 -1 Oct 18 23:21:02 so you already have a swap partition Oct 18 23:21:09 Created one earlier. Oct 18 23:21:13 Now I have two. Oct 18 23:21:20 but it's not showing the swap file/s Oct 18 23:21:36 /dev/sda5 is not the swap files you have been creating in here Oct 18 23:22:06 Peachy Oct 18 23:22:56
