Feb 06 05:37:23 <summatusmentis> what is the current valid distro?
Feb 06 05:38:30 <johnx> the current release? 2007.12
Feb 06 05:38:47 <summatusmentis> what's the next release distro?
Feb 06 05:39:16 <johnx> I don't know
Feb 06 05:39:18 <summatusmentis> like, the 'testing' version or whatever
Feb 06 05:39:23 <summatusmentis> is ti 2008.1?
Feb 06 05:39:47 <johnx> I don't know what they'll call it
Feb 06 05:39:57 <johnx> they seem to name it based on the date it's released
Feb 06 05:40:05 <johnx> but there are regular builds in unstable/autobuild
Feb 06 05:40:18 <summatusmentis> I know, I'm setting up OE though
Feb 06 05:40:22 <johnx> ah
Feb 06 05:40:37 <johnx> aaah...I set DISTRO=2008.1
Feb 06 05:40:59 <summatusmentis> ok, that's what I was asking, sorry I wasn't clear
Feb 06 05:41:02 <johnx> it compiled for akita and booted, but keyboard and touchscreen weren't working
Feb 06 05:41:33 <johnx> sorry for being dense...the angstrom release names just don't seem to line up with their names in OE
Feb 06 05:41:51 <summatusmentis> mm
Feb 06 14:12:55 <kolla> say.. anyone know if there's an IRC hangout for wl500g hackers?
Feb 06 14:16:41 <kolla> rwhitby: you there?
Feb 06 14:37:06 <kolla> seems like all how-tos on building packages for oleg's wl500 firmwares are outdated
Feb 06 14:46:37 <kolla> oh well.. found something :)
Feb 06 14:57:44 <wvdschel> hi
Feb 06 14:57:57 <wvdschel> any developments in collie land?
Feb 06 15:12:37 <kolla> wvdschel: no idea... my collie has been idling since summer or so
Feb 06 20:27:26 <kolla> hm, where are people? :)
Feb 06 20:27:54 <summatusmentis> I'm here
Feb 06 20:35:44 <kolla> :)
Feb 06 20:36:22 <kolla> I'm fighting with wl500gx, trying to build a binary linked with openssl
Feb 06 20:37:01 <kolla> trouble is glibc vs. uClibc.. need to convince the build to use correct ld
Feb 06 21:31:49 <kolla> sigh.. I give up
Feb 06 23:15:16 <rwhitby> kolla: I use openwrt and optware/openwrt-ixp4xx for the wl500g now ...
Feb 07 00:50:58 <johnx> anyone who has a collie should try the altboot image from feb 6th in the unstable/autobuild directory
Feb 07 00:51:03 <johnx> I can at least use it to get a shell
Feb 07 01:15:16 <xota> hi! I'm seeing this manual: http://www.purple.dropbear.id.au/angstrom_pre_release_on_collie_sl-5500_with_sd_card to install angstrom on a collie SD but the ftp http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/collie/ refered on the page, doesn't work.
Feb 07 01:15:20 <xota> any help pleaseż
Feb 07 01:17:00 <johnx> http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/collie/ is the new home of unstable, autobuilt collie images
Feb 07 01:17:30 <johnx> I just installed the latest (feb 6) altboot image but it hangs halfway through booting
Feb 07 01:17:43 <johnx> I can get a shell with atlboot however, and I'm working on it right now :)
Feb 07 01:18:26 <xota> ok johnx lot of thanks... i continue then with the manual, and when i finish, I comment my result here ;)
Feb 07 01:18:50 <johnx> sounds good
Feb 07 01:18:57 <johnx> I'll tell you if I find anything
Feb 07 01:19:09 <johnx> right now I'll disable psplash so I can see where the boot fails
Feb 07 02:20:40 <xota> johnx, how go u?
Feb 07 02:20:59 <xota> at 50% I can't start angstrom
Feb 07 02:21:27 <johnx> same here
Feb 07 02:21:38 <johnx> at the altboot prompt if you hit 7 you can get a shell and hack around
Feb 07 02:21:45 <johnx> ipkg-cl configure seems to fail
Feb 07 02:21:55 <johnx> I don't know if that's why it hangs though
Feb 07 02:23:29 <xota> 7 at start? or 7 when it's freeze?
Feb 07 02:23:37 <johnx> at start
Feb 07 02:23:47 <johnx> it says "hit any key to start altboot"
Feb 07 02:23:53 <johnx> you hit a key, then get a menu
Feb 07 02:23:57 <johnx> at the menu hit 7
Feb 07 02:24:01 <xota> oh ok! at altboot
Feb 07 02:24:03 <xota> sorry ;)
Feb 07 02:24:04 <xota> go try
Feb 07 02:24:07 <johnx> sure :)
Feb 07 02:24:35 <johnx> xota, my sd card works at least
Feb 07 02:24:50 <xota> I don't see the altboot
Feb 07 02:24:59 <xota> it inits without it
Feb 07 02:25:08 <xota> I'm using now the 2.6.21 kernel
Feb 07 02:25:09 <johnx> did you install the altboot image?
Feb 07 02:25:30 <johnx> altboot installkit .tgz ?
Feb 07 02:25:36 <xota> mmmm, really I don't know
Feb 07 02:25:39 <johnx> from feb 6th...
Feb 07 02:25:41 <xota> http://www.purple.dropbear.id.au/angstrom_pre_release_on_collie_sl-5500_with_sd_card
Feb 07 02:25:50 <xota> I'm readint this article
Feb 07 02:25:57 <xota> and it says that we need a actual kernel
Feb 07 02:26:08 <xota> and then, when it is installed downgrade to a 2.6.20
Feb 07 02:26:17 <johnx> right, I think that's pretty old
Feb 07 02:26:39 <johnx> the altboot installkit from feb 6th comes with 2.6.20
Feb 07 02:26:56 <johnx> I could show you uname -a if you want :)
Feb 07 02:27:10 <xota> but, then, what is ur problem?
Feb 07 02:27:15 <johnx> what?
Feb 07 02:27:20 <xota> if u have the SD running
Feb 07 02:27:24 <johnx> something else is broken
Feb 07 02:27:28 <xota> ah! ok
Feb 07 02:27:36 <johnx> it doesn't actually boot all the way
Feb 07 02:27:44 <xota> do u have gpe installed yet?
Feb 07 02:27:52 <johnx> nope
Feb 07 02:27:59 <johnx> it doesn't finish booting to a login prompt
Feb 07 02:28:05 <johnx> 'ipkg-cl configure' which should configure all the packages dies with a seg fault
Feb 07 02:28:08 <xota> grr I like angstrom on my collie!!! ;D
Feb 07 02:28:24 <johnx> right, but if you install altboot you can get a shell instead of running init
Feb 07 02:28:38 <johnx> so you can at least troubleshoot what the problem is
Feb 07 02:28:43 <xota> can u modify initial scripts and don't run ipkg-cl?
Feb 07 02:28:47 <xota> did u try it?
Feb 07 02:28:54 <johnx> I think it's important
Feb 07 02:29:05 <xota> yes... but we are testing ;)
Feb 07 02:29:10 <johnx> I might try skipping it though...but if none of the packages are configured...
Feb 07 02:29:16 <xota> perhaps u can install applications, but work with collie anyway
Feb 07 02:29:41 <johnx> ipkg fails as well
Feb 07 02:29:48 <xota> can u give me the manual that u are reading?
Feb 07 02:29:54 <xota> I like to try it too
Feb 07 02:29:54 <johnx> no manual :P
Feb 07 02:29:58 <xota> I have the european version
Feb 07 02:30:03 <johnx> I'm just hacking along on my own
Feb 07 02:30:18 <xota> what are u installing, can u help meż
Feb 07 02:30:20 <CoreDump> you could run all *.postinst in /usr/lib/ipkg/info manually and find out which one causes the segfault
Feb 07 02:30:32 <johnx> CoreDump, ah thanks
Feb 07 02:30:45 <xota> CoreDump, knows a lot of core dumps ;D
Feb 07 02:30:52 <CoreDump> you bet ;)
Feb 07 02:31:24 <johnx> I put strace*.ipk on an sd card, did ipkg install strace*ipk and even that ends with ipkg dying with a segfault
Feb 07 02:31:33 <xota> johnx, can u say me what are the initrd and zImage that are using?
Feb 07 02:31:58 <johnx> xota, http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/collie/Angstrom-altboot-console-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r3-collie-installkit.tgz
Feb 07 02:32:13 <xota> go see, thanks
Feb 07 02:32:26 <johnx> untar that and inside are a zImage.bin and initrd.bin, put them both on a cf card and rename zImage.bin to zImage
Feb 07 02:33:04 <CoreDump> oh
Feb 07 02:33:14 <CoreDump> ipkg goes OOM
Feb 07 02:33:27 <johnx> hmm...maybe?
Feb 07 02:34:12 <CoreDump> I bet the segfaults stop after you rm the downloaded ipkg Package files (somewhere in /var)
Feb 07 02:34:28 <johnx> ah, I'll give it a shot
Feb 07 02:35:28 <xota> i'm installed it... go to see ;)
Feb 07 02:38:50 <xota> johnx, what did u do to make the SD work?
Feb 07 02:39:20 <johnx> xota, http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/CollieInstall
Feb 07 02:41:08 <johnx> hmm...nothing in /var/lib/ipkg
Feb 07 02:41:18 <johnx> and no other ipkg directories under /var
Feb 07 02:41:28 <johnx> I'll at least get a strace up...
Feb 07 02:45:53 <xota> johnx, did u modify the /etc/altboot.func?
Feb 07 02:46:02 <xota> I load the modules, but can't see the SD running up
Feb 07 02:46:41 <xota> mount /dev/sda /media/card sda1, sdb, sdb1...
Feb 07 02:46:55 <johnx> sd card is /dev/mmcblk0
Feb 07 02:47:07 <johnx> sd card, partition 1 is /dev/mmcblk0p1
Feb 07 02:47:15 <xota> oh yes! sda is the cf
Feb 07 02:47:17 <xota> sorry again
Feb 07 02:47:36 <johnx> hda is the CF :)
Feb 07 02:47:56 <johnx> sda is scsi, but also things that emulate scsi like usb drives...doesn't apply to collie though
Feb 07 02:48:12 <xota> yes yes
Feb 07 02:48:19 <xota> is't very late here
Feb 07 02:48:34 <xota> I thinks that I should go sleep and take it again tomorrow ;D
Feb 07 02:48:53 <johnx> sounds good
Feb 07 02:49:41 <xota> I can't understand what angstrom in collie is very difficult!
Feb 07 02:49:49 <johnx> ha!
Feb 07 02:50:12 <xota> we need to do another suggestion to Sharp to free the necessary
Feb 07 02:50:24 <xota> ;D
Feb 07 02:50:26 <johnx> sharp doesn't care
Feb 07 02:50:33 <johnx> and their code is useless anyways
Feb 07 02:50:41 <johnx> the 2.6 kernel is almost there
Feb 07 02:50:46 <johnx> it just needs to get polished
Feb 07 02:51:02 <johnx> this stuff right now looks like a simple problem...maybe even you or I could find the cause
Feb 07 02:52:25 <xota> I don't have mmcblk0p1, I have mmcda and mmcda1 and mmcda2
Feb 07 02:52:31 <johnx> !!
Feb 07 02:52:34 <xota> and none of those loads
Feb 07 02:52:38 <johnx> uname -r
Feb 07 02:52:49 <xota> 2.6.20.6
Feb 07 02:52:56 <johnx> hmm
Feb 07 02:53:09 <xota> johnx, I tell u that I have the european version
Feb 07 02:53:21 <xota> I think that are diferrences on the SD
Feb 07 02:53:22 <johnx> it's not any different I think
Feb 07 02:53:28 <johnx> mmcda is the name of the SD device in kernel 2.4
Feb 07 02:53:59 <johnx> if you look at dmesg what happens after you modprobe the mmcblk0 modules?
Feb 07 02:54:12 <xota> When I'm seeing to do the SD card running on openzaurus 3.5.4
Feb 07 02:54:23 <johnx> hmm?
Feb 07 02:54:37 <xota> I read anything about the SD on the european devices, and US devices
Feb 07 02:55:24 <johnx> does someone say they're different?
