Oct 19 12:58:28 <nest> hi, so rad i use crunchbang/debian wheezy 64bit and i would like to switch to 32bit but before i would like to ask which debian based distro is most compatible with yocto and openembedded tools because when we had embedded systems class our teacher recommend us to use ubuntu 10.04 for best compatibility with openembedded
Oct 19 12:59:57 <nest> and now i am trhinking about lightweight distro suitable to compile my own embedded ditribution with yocto
Oct 19 13:00:17 <nest> some ideas?
Oct 19 13:03:10 <walters> nest: oe supports a wide variety of systems as a host
Oct 19 13:04:08 <walters> I personally use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, but Ubuntu 10.04 should work fine too.  Don't reinvent the wheel, just go with something that works.
Oct 19 13:09:03 <Crofton|work> nest, that is proabably what the instructor was most familiar with :)
Oct 19 13:10:21 <BCMM> what exactly does README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt mean? seems to me that the images directory is cluttered with filesystem images from previous builds; will it really do any harm to delete them?
Oct 19 13:16:37 <nest> yes you are right, i am used to debian based distros and i am not that much skilled with OE or yocto and at the beginning i want to focus on developing embedded linux itself not to figuring out issues with host system,...thats why i am asking
Oct 19 13:23:49 <nest> do someone of you use debian wheezy for developing?
Oct 19 14:09:57 <mckoan> nest: personally I suggest Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Oct 19 14:11:31 <nest> mckoan: ok, and what about xubuntu?
Oct 19 14:12:08 <nest> just because I like xfce more than gnome
Oct 19 14:12:34 <nest> and you mean 32bit i guees
Oct 19 14:13:18 <mckoan> nest: every Ubuntu 12.04 would be a smooth choice
Oct 19 14:13:43 <mckoan> 32bit or 64bit, I use 64
Oct 19 14:14:12 <nest> and is everything is working?
Oct 19 14:14:22 <mckoan> with a charm
Oct 19 14:14:39 <mckoan> http://wiki.kaeilos.com/index.php/Yocto_Project_my_own_quick_start
Oct 19 14:14:59 <nest> than ill go for xubuntu 12.04
Oct 19 14:15:10 <nest> thank you very much :-)
Oct 19 14:15:30 <mckoan> nest: you're welcome and happy hacking ;-)
Oct 19 14:25:12 <nest> and if i can ask what is the main benefit to use 64bit version?
Oct 19 14:26:57 <mckoan> nest: a bit faster
Oct 19 14:27:15 <mckoan> nest: use 32 bit if you feel safer
Oct 19 14:29:54 <nest> ill do :-)
Oct 19 14:30:52 <nest> thanks... image downloaded, lets start :P bye bye debian, see you later, but for now embedded develpment is priority :_P
Oct 19 14:35:19 <mckoan> nest: I alsto started OE development with debian 6, then moved to Ubu10.04, then 12.04
Oct 19 14:35:37 <mckoan> nest: and next year to 14.04LTS perhaps
Oct 19 14:36:12 <mckoan> otavio: ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure for URL: 'git://git.yoctoproject.org/prelink-cross.git'. Unable to fetch URL from any source.
Oct 19 14:37:08 <otavio> Seems you has network issues
Oct 19 14:37:55 <mckoan> otavio: sorry wrong channel :-)
Oct 19 14:39:13 <nest> mckoan: so i am following your path ;-)
Oct 19 15:04:14 <mckoan> is git.yoctoproject.org out of service?
Oct 19 15:07:31 <zibri> mckoan: works for me.
Oct 19 15:09:14 <zibri> uh, nest left before i could praise debian ;-)
Oct 19 15:11:06 <zibri> if the issue was about debian 7.2 not being in the sanity tested distros list, i sent a patch adding it, but hasn't been merged yet...
Oct 19 16:26:27 <mckoan> have a nice w/e
Oct 19 16:53:39 <BCMM> anybody know why the cpio image type touches /init if it doesn't exist?
Oct 19 16:54:06 <BCMM> i know that an initramfs expects init to be at /init, not /bin/init, but i don't understand what purpose a blank init serves
Oct 19 17:04:32 <ant_home> BCMM: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-January/015425.html
Oct 19 17:10:39 <BCMM> ant_home: won't the kernel panic when it can't start init? or will it fail over to /bin/init somehow?
