**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 08 02:59:57 2008 Sep 08 03:22:26 angstrom-distribution.org/feeds seems unresponsive Sep 08 10:57:17 when i build console-image or x11-image with bitbake, where in the tree does the image (or directory tree) get placed? Sep 08 19:54:15 hi - are there any docs to help absolute newbies write .bb files for new packages? Sep 08 20:09:21 http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ check metadata Sep 08 20:09:50 the openmoko wiki is rich in detailed tutorials, maybe check there Sep 08 20:10:40 i thought as much - ie, the openmoko have more of an investment in welcoming new users Sep 08 20:10:58 aum, are you going to put a specific program in the .bb, or just looking into how OE works? maybe I can help. Sep 08 20:11:04 more people paid to actually do docs :) Sep 08 20:11:52 my intentions - (1) create .bb files for existing software not written by me (eg libfltk), (2) create .bb files for new software written by myself Sep 08 20:12:47 also, is it possible to use an OE tree as an ipkg feed source? Sep 08 21:58:50 <_mika> hi guys, why the last one is the 2007.12? i saw that there were a 2008.6 somewhere... did it have problems ? Sep 08 23:04:48 <_mika> wow... Sep 08 23:04:49 <_mika> nice... Sep 08 23:05:08 <_mika> i've just done a /sbin/reboot and it doesn't boot anymore...... :* Sep 08 23:05:12 <_mika> :( Sep 08 23:08:50 <_mika> any idea? :( Sep 08 23:15:43 where Sep 08 23:15:54 on your toaster? Sep 08 23:16:02 running plan9? Sep 08 23:18:04 <_mika> on my ipaq h2200... Sep 08 23:18:23 <_mika> running the last stable "live"version Sep 08 23:20:07 <_mika> i tried to hard reset it, but it just show the windows ce loading for a second and the it die :( Sep 08 23:42:56 image-opie does not build on my OE tree - is that just me or is the build broken? Sep 08 23:48:47 live? Sep 08 23:49:02 sorry I don't own any ipaqs. what's a live build? Sep 08 23:49:06 from the autobuildeR? Sep 08 23:55:55 aum, there's a high probability the build is b0rkebn Sep 08 23:58:28 ok Sep 08 23:59:12 i'm wanting to port some apps and libs into OE/angstrom, but at the moment it's a big learning curve Sep 09 00:04:31 hmm, where's ldconfig? abiword ipkg needs it, but it's not in the x11-image Sep 09 00:07:13 eating my words - it's right there in /sbin - just seems that root acct on device doesn't have /sbin in PATH Sep 09 00:12:26 hmm, abiword on the iPaq is a joke - some of the dialogs have widgets scattered all over the place, on top of each other Sep 09 00:14:52 <_mika> aum: which ipaq do you have_ Sep 09 00:14:54 <_mika> ? Sep 09 00:15:02 h4350 Sep 09 00:15:07 320x240 screen Sep 09 00:15:33 so no support? Sep 09 00:17:25 <_mika> don't know... i think it should work.... but i don't know angstrom... i booted it about 3 hours ago and my ipaq is died because of a reboot since 2 hours.... :( Sep 09 00:18:31 _mika: is your ipaq bricked? Sep 09 00:18:44 _mika: can you cold-boot it? Sep 09 00:20:02 <_mika> i don't know if it's bricked.... i did a hard reboot, but it show for just 1-2 seconds the wince start screen and then die Sep 09 00:20:23 _mika: sounds a bit bricked Sep 09 00:20:43 <_mika> the strange thing is it died after a /sbin/reboot, which every linux distro should reboot itself... :( Sep 09 00:21:07 /sbin/reboot on ipaq should unmount the root fs then cold-boot into winCE Sep 09 00:21:17 <_mika> and i used the liveramdisk which shouldn't do any bad things... :( Sep 09 00:21:40 does it still die if in the cradle? Sep 09 00:21:51 <_mika> yes Sep 09 00:23:59 try this, if desperate: http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7567 Sep 09 00:24:06 that info saved my butt Sep 09 00:25:20 <_mika> i'll try...thanks :) Sep 09 00:25:51 should work for most ipaqs Sep 09 00:26:08 it's the procedure of last resort before calling the repairman and paying $$$$$$$ Sep 09 00:39:52 <_mika> aum: it worked :D Sep 09 00:45:21 *phew* Sep 09 00:46:34 are there any pda-friendly office apps in angstrom? abiword and gnumeric are embarrassing on the ipaq screen Sep 09 00:48:11 part of me is still tempted to give up on ipaq linux and do my development on winshit pocket PC 2003 instead **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 09 02:59:57 2008
