**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 27 02:59:56 2007 Feb 27 04:57:28 I used angstorm to compile my kernel, can it be use to create filesystem for my machine? Feb 27 04:58:34 TinY, sure ... Feb 27 04:58:54 just set ext2 or jffs or whatever you want in your local.conf Feb 27 04:59:35 like this Feb 27 04:59:36 # Add the required image file system types below. Valid are jffs2, tar, cramfs and ext2 Feb 27 04:59:36 IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ext2" Feb 27 04:59:48 Marex: does it help me install the programs i need? Feb 27 05:02:28 make image .bb file if you need some programs in the image Feb 27 05:02:45 there is org.openembedded.dev/packages/images Feb 27 05:02:50 see those .bb files there Feb 27 05:03:23 yeap Feb 27 05:03:51 i want to install webmin.. Feb 27 05:03:54 it's not there Feb 27 05:04:45 ah ... then create .bb file for it Feb 27 05:04:59 and just add it and then commit it to koen|away Feb 27 05:05:00 :b Feb 27 05:05:52 haha.. but i don't know how.. :P Feb 27 05:06:06 i saw a many packages how do i use them?> Feb 27 05:06:32 say if i want to install gdbm in my system how do i do it using OE? Feb 27 06:41:27 <_law_> morning could someone tell me how i can include some required kernel-modules into the angstrom image? Feb 27 06:42:40 grep MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS conf/machine/* Feb 27 06:45:19 <_law_> koen, i already have done this but it doent works for me... Feb 27 06:47:44 does the kernel defconfig build the modules you want? Feb 27 06:56:33 <_law_> rwhitby, yes it does Feb 27 07:01:47 <_law_> here are my recommends: http://rafb.net/p/4xaTxR40.html Feb 27 07:04:27 _law_: and you rebuilt task-base? Feb 27 07:05:15 <_law_> koen, task-base? i started bitbake angstrom-gpe-image again Feb 27 07:05:28 <_law_> shouldnt this also do this? Feb 27 07:06:36 not unless you bump the PR or clean it Feb 27 07:09:45 <_law_> ok so this could be the problem :-) i hope.. Feb 27 07:48:53 <_law_> rebuilding the task-base is the clue :-! thanks Feb 27 07:51:30 <_law_> now i can publish a aximx50 angstrom-gpe image incl. touchscreen support :-) Feb 27 08:05:00 <_law_> module_autoload_aximx50-buttons = "aximx50_buttons" is this the right description? kernel module is called aximx50_buttons.ko Feb 27 08:05:20 <_law_> or module_autoload_aximx50_buttons = "aximx50_buttons" ? Feb 27 08:55:48 <_law_> hmm i think i killed my build :-( http://rafb.net/p/1LzkeL14.html any ideas how i can fix this? Feb 27 08:56:21 _law_: 'mtn diff' and look for a '#' Feb 27 08:58:30 make a #.bb :-) Feb 27 08:58:41 or that :) Feb 27 09:05:41 <_law_> :-) set a comment wrong :-) Feb 27 09:33:54 <_law_> is someone with a hx4700 here? Feb 27 09:54:38 _law_: yes Feb 27 10:33:42 <_law_> koen, how does the touchscreen work? Feb 27 10:36:17 ehm... Feb 27 10:36:27 by touching it with the stylus... Feb 27 11:01:58 <_law_> koen, :-) Feb 27 11:02:14 <_law_> koen, any problem like a little offset or something Feb 27 11:18:14 _law_, hx4700 doesn't have problems, because params were tweaked for it. you should do the same for aximx50. Feb 27 12:20:07 <_law_> psokolovsky_, so there is also something like axim_ts.c for hx4700 ? Feb 27 12:21:10 _law_, no, that file is actuallt superflous by standards we're moving towards, it should be merged to aximx50.c eventually Feb 27 12:21:24 but as for contents, sure it has ;-) Feb 27 13:49:10 <_law_> its done :-) http://law.hostsen.net/oe/aximx50/ Feb 27 16:50:03 does anyone know anything about the angstrom legacy committed to OE recently? or how to build a 2.4 kernel for an h3870 (the 2.6 doesn't seem to work( Feb 27 18:06:55 anyone run across problems with angstrom-oabi building meta-opie in OpenEmbedded? Feb 27 18:07:48 opie isn't supported for exactly that reason Feb 27 18:10:46 koen: which reason is that? Feb 27 18:11:04 that is broken, unsupported crap Feb 27 18:12:20 well generally then, why wouldn't ld be able to find a library that has been (at least appears to be) built for the target arch? Feb 27 18:13:23 that could have lots of reasons. drop us a mail with the full output and some details what has been built and I'll look over it Feb 27 18:13:52 to the openembedded-devel or openembedded-users Feb 27 18:13:55 list Feb 27 18:15:33 will do Feb 27 20:13:55 hi! Feb 27 20:14:34 is there an explanation of the boot process with angstrom on Zaurus spitz? Feb 27 20:14:48 written online, somewhere Feb 27 20:15:09 (i can insert it into the wiki, if useful) Feb 27 20:15:42 I'm wondering how I can set the boot option Feb 27 20:15:55 obviously, nothing like /boot/grub/ there. Feb 27 20:16:15 it's standard sysvinit Feb 27 20:16:51 koen: including the kernel options, and choosing the kernel (in case there is more than one) Feb 27 20:16:54 ? Feb 27 20:17:04 you can't have more than one kernel Feb 27 20:17:08 ah Feb 27 20:18:39 hm... trying to get the asix driver, i installes a package called "kernel-image-2.6.20" Feb 27 20:18:58 but uname still tells me i'm running 2.6.18 Feb 27 21:25:57 another question... where is the equivalent of the usual /var/log/syslog? Feb 27 21:29:11 logread Feb 27 21:30:55 he, goood! thanks. Feb 27 21:31:21 lardman: would be a page with all these misc questions on the wiki a good idea? Feb 27 21:31:44 (i mean, i can fill it) Feb 27 21:32:51 I guess so, though I don't have access to the Angstrom wiki Feb 27 21:33:20 You could add these to the openzaurus wiki, which will eventually graduate to being an Angstrom on Zaurus wiki I imagine Feb 27 21:34:52 well, the registration is open on the angstrom wiki Feb 27 21:35:16 i'll fillow the mantra Feb 27 21:35:20 follow Feb 27 21:35:23 3) Those who ask the questions, update the wiki when they get the answers. Feb 27 21:35:30 <_law_> hmm any ideas why evince doesnt open my pdf file Feb 27 21:35:40 <_law_> i get some unknown format error Feb 27 21:36:38 Id guess because the format is unknown :-) Feb 27 21:36:39 nil: Sounds like a good idea Feb 27 21:36:44 :) Feb 27 21:37:06 _law_: make sure you have gnomvfs-plugin-file (or something named like that) installed Feb 27 21:37:22 _law_: funny things happen when bits of gnomevfs are missing Feb 27 21:42:41 <_law_> XorA|gone: looks a little bit better but know the mime is unkown :-) Feb 27 21:42:59 <_law_> who can i change this? Feb 27 21:43:07 _law_: gnome-shared-mime package or something like that Feb 27 21:43:34 shared-mime-info Feb 27 21:43:50 gnome-mime-data Feb 27 21:45:59 <_law_> XorA|gone: now it works thanks, perhaps someone should add this as dep into the .bb file... Feb 27 21:49:13 night Feb 27 21:49:21 _law_: It used to be, wonder when that got lost Feb 27 21:49:57 maybe not a direct dependency, but it was certainly in the chain Feb 27 21:51:52 anyway I return to sleep Feb 27 21:52:28 <_law_> me too Feb 27 21:52:32 <_law_> n8 all Feb 27 22:07:34 hmmm... altboot-conf in the feed, but not altboot Feb 27 22:07:58 any reason (other than "will come later")? Feb 27 22:09:39 nil, I've edit you bootloading Q in faq - what you was told here is not the whole truth ;-) so, consider editing it or I'll do that later Feb 27 22:12:13 psokolovsky__: i'd be happy to edit/correct/improve Feb 27 22:13:28 polyonymous_: I'll try to rewrite it Feb 27 22:15:26 ok ;-) Feb 27 22:16:58 hi Feb 27 22:17:56 CoreDump|home, Hi! Does altboot supports angstrom? ;-) Feb 27 22:18:24 psokolovsky__: it supports devices, not distributions ;) Feb 27 22:18:50 yup, was tested with angstrom? ;-) Feb 27 22:27:40 psokolovsky__: is http://blog.hentges.net/?page_id=60 true for angstrom on any device? Feb 27 22:27:59 (i mean, not only zaurii) Feb 27 22:28:44 erf... Feb 27 22:28:56 should have looked at the /whois... Feb 27 22:29:15 CoreDump|home: is the boot process describes on * The SHARP bootloader boots the kernel (zImage*) from flash * The kernel mounts the rootfs (which is defined at compile time) * The kernel runs /sbin/init Feb 27 22:29:21 argh Feb 27 22:29:24 sorry.... Feb 27 22:29:35 ;-) Feb 27 22:29:48 CoreDump|home: well, is it also true on ipaq and other machines Feb 27 22:30:26 psokolovsky__: I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work Feb 27 22:30:38 nil, rough picture is true, details like inability to pass kernel options vary Feb 27 22:30:43 ok Feb 27 22:30:54 nil: that's very device specific but still holds for any zaurus running any available distro Feb 27 22:31:02 CoreDump|home, are you aware someone trying altboot on non-zaurus? Feb 27 22:31:19 hehe actually yes Feb 27 22:31:29 * CoreDump|home is porting altboot to NSLU2 ;) Feb 27 22:31:35 CoreDump|home, what it was/any links? Feb 27 22:31:53 psokolovsky__: it's a NAS box by linksys heh Feb 27 22:32:12 I do not know of any PDA other than Zauruses running altboot. Feb 27 22:32:15 well, that's cool. it would be nice to reuse existing solutions, it's just you never know if some device-specificness is hardcoded somewhere ;-) Feb 27 22:32:38 CoreDump|home, so, core of altboot is kexec, right? Feb 27 22:33:29 psokolovsky__: nope, in it current version it doesn't even support kexec. It was written to boot different rootfs'es, not really different kernels Feb 27 22:34:02 CoreDump|home, ah, ok, I see. so, pivotboot? Feb 27 22:34:05 CoreDump|home: I will add kexec eventually but not anytime soon Feb 27 22:34:10 psokolovsky__: exactly Feb 27 22:34:12 ok Feb 27 22:34:34 it simplyfies pivot_root for the enduser that's all Feb 27 22:55:18 psokolovsky__: actually, I was able to add a modified altboot script to kexec a different kernel from SD on my Zaururs :) But it is still a bit rough around the edges Feb 27 22:56:15 hvontres|poodle, good news. someone definitely should try all that on ipaqs ;-) Feb 27 22:56:45 psokolovsky__: You got a spare one? I'll give it a shot :) Feb 27 22:57:31 hvontres|poodle, nope, only ones busy with kernel porting for them ;-) Feb 27 23:06:21 psokolovsky__: altboot on an ipaq will benefit from the nslu2 changes as the NSLU2 needs to be configured "offline" (ie: not at runtime while booting but in a fully running OS) as well. Feb 27 23:08:06 CoreDump|home: BTW, what is the latest "stable" CVS version for altboot? I want to test my changes against an .oz354 bootstrap image. Feb 27 23:08:50 hvontres|poodle: the altboot_0.0.0.bb is identical to CVS head Feb 27 23:08:53 ie: the files in packages/altboot/files Feb 27 23:09:22 * rwhitby is so happy that he infected CoreDump|home with the slugbug Feb 27 23:09:59 infection indeed ;) Feb 27 23:10:48 CoreDump|home: CoreDump|home : ok. I am using altboot_wip currently and was wondering what SRCDATE to use Feb 27 23:11:55 * hvontres|poodle wonders if he should get a slug too... Feb 27 23:12:38 hvontres|poodle: none, really. Use altboot_0.0.0.bb which doesn't even use CVS but stuff in packages/altboot/files Feb 27 23:16:16 CoreDump|home: Ok. But won't that version throw off ipkg? Feb 27 23:17:00 hvontres|poodle: well yes. but while developing that doesn't matter ;) just ipkg-remove the :_wip altboot first Feb 28 00:59:09 I'm trying to have 4 virtual terminals instead of the default one Feb 28 01:00:15 I updated /etc/inittab, and restarted, but it doesn't work (consoles 2,3,4 just don't exist). I missed something? Feb 28 01:11:00 hehe, found a typo, in /etc/init.d/rc, line 26 Feb 28 01:11:22 numsteps="1" -> num_steps="1" Feb 28 01:11:30 (this prevented me to halt) Feb 28 01:14:45 * nil tried to open an account on bugzilla, but didn't receive the passwd email; something seems to be broken Feb 28 01:18:38 * nil also understood why the consoles can't work, it needs an option passed to the kernel **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 28 03:00:00 2007
