Nov 12 15:02:27 <LostInspace> anybody have any experience loading the initrd minimal-withmtdutils image?
Nov 12 16:43:11 <Sundar> whats the name of the app responsible for  taking screenshot? I have it in my X11-GPE image but not in the beagleboard-demo image.
Nov 12 17:59:15 <germann> hi all, I'm trying to build an angstrom image with xserver-xorg instead of xserver-kdrive... it appears to work ok, except I can't see any way to configure the X server (it appears to completely ignore a /etc/X11/xorg.conf)... the X binary that runs is /usr/bin/Xvesa... am I doing something really stupid?
Nov 12 18:12:14 <germann> I guess my real question is, what is the preferred method of configuring xserver-xorg in OE?
Nov 12 18:24:55 <LostInSpace> germann, no clue
Nov 12 18:26:54 <germann> k... thanks for responding... it seems to me there must be a way to get it to read an xorg.conf, because I can include specific X.org modules in my image...
Nov 12 18:27:13 <LostInSpace> germann, i would use strace to figure out what it's trying to read
Nov 12 18:27:34 <germann> that's a good idea... thanks
Nov 12 18:30:31 <LostInSpace> something like
Nov 12 18:30:59 <LostInSpace> strace -fF -s 4096 -o output thecommandyourunhere
Nov 12 18:32:08 <LostInSpace> johnx, you there?
Nov 12 18:47:14 <germann> LostInSpace: looks like it's not trying to read a config file anywhere... I think my problem may be having the wrong X server installed... thanks for the help though
Nov 12 18:47:29 <LostInSpace> germann, thats weird
Nov 12 18:47:35 <germann> yeah
Nov 12 18:47:54 <germann> the only open() commands outside of libs are like /tmp/.X0-lock etc
Nov 12 18:48:04 <LostInSpace> i'm no prob on the xserver-xorg for angstrom but that's still weird for me
Nov 12 18:48:10 <LostInSpace> wow
Nov 12 19:01:04 <germann> LostInSpace: it was my stupid fault... machine config was overriding my config on which x server to use, so even though I thought I had specified xserver-xorg everywhere, it was still using kdrive
Nov 12 19:03:11 <LostInSpace> hehehe
Nov 12 19:03:16 <LostInSpace> now that makes sense =)
Nov 12 19:09:17 <LostInSpace> i'm running into a brick wall
Nov 12 19:09:26 <LostInSpace> i can compile kernels for the box i'm working on
Nov 12 19:09:38 <LostInSpace> i've made an initrd which the kernel mounts as root (ext2 filesystem)
Nov 12 19:09:57 <LostInSpace> but it cannot seem to execute anything in it!!!
Nov 12 19:10:03 <LostInSpace> hummmmm
Nov 12 19:14:12 <LostInSpace> i think i still have a hello world app I know works on the machine maybe i'll push that in the initrd image as linuxrc see what happens
Nov 12 19:32:20 <LostInSpace> my head hurts
Nov 12 20:22:12 <LostInSpace> anybody in here alive?
Nov 12 21:02:39 <germann> LostInSpace: that definitely helped... any idea what packages provide the glx, kbd and mouse modules for X.org?
Nov 12 21:03:10 <LostInSpace> hummm nope your gonna have to google that up sorry
Nov 13 02:16:34 <busbus> hi there
Nov 13 02:17:40 <johnx> hi
Nov 13 02:19:14 <jerm^home> hi
Nov 13 02:20:01 <busbus> angstrom-2008.1 should be valid as distro, or am i wrong?
Nov 13 02:20:24 <jerm^home> yep...i'm using it
Nov 13 02:21:02 <busbus> hmm, it says i should set a valid distro when i run bitbake
Nov 13 02:21:32 <busbus> DISTRO 'angstrom-2008.1' not found. Please set a valid DISTRO in your local.conf
Nov 13 02:22:53 <jerm^home> interesting
Nov 13 02:23:28 <jerm^home> PM me your local.conf
Nov 13 02:24:44 <jerm^home> or DCC
Nov 13 02:24:54 <jerm^home> whatever works for you, i'll take a look
Nov 13 02:26:18 <jerm^home> I see the prob
Nov 13 02:26:22 <jerm^home> you're using the stable tree
Nov 13 02:26:30 <jerm^home> angstrom-2008.1 is in the dev tree
Nov 13 02:26:48 <busbus> ahh, ok
Nov 13 02:27:01 <busbus> so whats the latest i can use with stable?
Nov 13 02:27:08 <jerm^home> 2007
Nov 13 02:27:11 <busbus> 2007.1?
Nov 13 02:27:35 <jerm^home> yep
Nov 13 02:27:46 <busbus> is there a changelog somewhere from 07 to 08
Nov 13 02:27:52 <jerm^home> look at local.conf.sample in your tree under the conf directory
Nov 13 02:27:57 <jerm^home> i doubt it
Nov 13 02:28:01 <busbus> hmm ok
Nov 13 02:28:29 <jerm^home> you could compare the distribution .conf files if you want...but that is just the tip of the iceberg
Nov 13 02:28:40 <busbus> thx so far, i go for another try =)
Nov 13 02:28:41 <jerm^home> changes happen to the OE dev tree sometimes every few minutes :)
Nov 13 02:28:56 <busbus> 8o
Nov 13 02:28:56 <jerm^home> np
Nov 13 02:29:03 <busbus> wow thats often
Nov 13 02:29:23 <jerm^home> yep, its a pretty active community
Nov 13 02:29:45 <jerm^home> unfortunately sometimes unfriendly to news
Nov 13 02:29:47 <jerm^home> newbs
Nov 13 02:29:58 <jerm^home> which I am one myself
Nov 13 02:30:34 <jerm^home> you can browse the .dev and .stable trees @ http://gitweb.openembedded.net
