**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 14 02:59:57 2010 Sep 14 04:06:04 it says format SD card with vfat will fat16 work? Sep 14 04:06:37 or even fat32? Sep 14 04:12:25 both are readable with vfat Sep 14 04:15:14 yea someone just told me vfat is just what linux calls fat32 Sep 14 04:15:18 i guess Sep 14 04:17:26 jon, at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/angstrom-installation-spitz it says 4 files i ned on my SD card i have the Online Build (Root Filesystem) hdimage1.tgz (rename from XXX-image-XXX-spitz.rootfs.tar.gz), but where do i find the other file from the website Sep 14 04:17:46 i have them from pdaXrom beta 3 but highly doubt they are one in the same Sep 14 04:29:27 managed to find Angstrom-opie-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r18-spitz-installkit.tgz, which includes all files but is 2007 really the last time these were updated? Sep 14 04:29:42 i'm sure there a newer installkit for spitz Sep 14 10:02:36 Hi all, someone could indicate me what is the recipe that creates various ttyS* entries? Sep 14 10:04:52 I'm trying to fork from Angstrom, selecting only packages usefull for me, but when booting getty is unsable t start, I suppose because no ttyS2 entry get created in /dev... Sep 14 10:05:44 why don't you just create an image recipe like most other people? Sep 14 10:07:32 It's what I've done Sep 14 10:07:38 starting from base-image Sep 14 10:07:56 ok, you were speaking of forking Sep 14 10:08:41 yes, you're right, I'm just modifying base-image recipes in order to include only packages that are relevant for me... Sep 14 10:09:40 I think bitbake has a nice mode where it will show you all recipe dependencies Sep 14 10:11:17 I'm not sure is only a question of recipes, I don't know where `mknod ttyS2` (or similar) is accomplished Sep 14 10:12:18 look in /files/device_table-minimal.txt Sep 14 10:13:35 uh, thanks, who uses that file? a single recipe or is a global bitbake config options? Sep 14 10:17:22 for other distros and machines (not angstrom or beagleboard) is specified in the conf files wich device-table to use... Why angstrom do no use those files? Sep 14 10:20:48 sorry, was looking at some strangeness in the file.. Sep 14 10:20:57 iirc angstrom uses it Sep 14 10:21:24 now that I look at it, Sep 14 10:21:32 /dev/tty c 662 0 5 5 0 - - - Sep 14 10:21:34 /dev/tty c 666 0 5 4 0 0 1 9 Sep 14 10:31:36 anyway, no ttyS2 mentioned here, but Angstrom has its ttyS* entries after boot Sep 14 10:32:49 well, one is created /dev/ttyS c 640 0 5 4 64 0 1 1 Sep 14 10:34:05 sure, just one, but a "live" angstrom has ttyS1 ttyS2 and ttyS3. Am I missing something about device creation method? Sep 14 10:38:03 yes, check initscripts Sep 14 10:38:15 recipes/initscripts Sep 14 10:39:56 device_table-minimal.txt is intended as basis (e.g. initramfs) Sep 14 10:40:54 while initscripts ships his own one, in initscripts-1.0 Sep 14 10:41:41 yes, some images have no initscripts Sep 14 10:41:46 /dev/ttyS c 640 0 5 4 64 0 1 4 Sep 14 10:42:09 and three ttyS gets created.. thanks a lot ant_work Sep 14 10:42:16 yw Sep 14 11:36:43 testing the narcissus build tool for ipaq now Sep 14 13:25:25 site is hosted on slow host yea? Sep 14 13:25:33 only 30kb/s down Sep 14 13:26:06 i got better site hosts to link to whoever runs the site Sep 14 13:26:09 good price too Sep 14 13:27:38 unlimited all Sep 14 13:28:24 http://santrex.net/webhosting.php Sep 14 14:38:46 hello, is it possible to run Angstrom as a root, not normal user? How to do it? Sep 14 14:40:08 why would you run as root? Sep 14 14:40:33 anyway, in console you can su - root Sep 14 14:41:05 and be root in that vt Sep 14 14:42:26 ant_work: I would like to run Angstrom, withoout gpe-dm. After run, Angstrom should run my app which needed USB etc. Normal user cannot open USB or I can't open USB Sep 14 14:43:01 my app uses Qt Sep 14 14:44:25 Now I do it in this way: 1. I start Linux, 2.log as root, 3.kill gpe-dm, 4.run my app Sep 14 14:46:08 I would like to start my app automatically after start Angstrom. Sep 14 14:46:24 ant_work: do you think that it is possible? Sep 14 14:47:24 I think you could do all with initscripts / custom init Sep 14 14:47:48 those scripts are run with root privioleges Sep 14 14:48:19 btw give a look at opie-image Sep 14 14:48:36 no gnome there Sep 14 14:48:53 old qtopia Sep 14 14:49:30 great, but I'm newbie in linux. I'm windows user:) Which files are initscripts / custom init? Sep 14 14:58:04 oh..imagine autoexec.bat Sep 14 15:29:49 lol Sep 14 15:57:09 he..concise explanation of SysV init runlevel system, wasn't? Sep 14 23:17:36 Where should I submit a patch if i wanted angstrom.conf to change behaviors on something? (thinking of either switching to sane-toolchain.inc, or pulling the os triplet function out) ? Sep 15 00:02:58 talk to koen Sep 15 00:03:26 in the past he and xora haven't been enthusiastic about sane-toolchain Sep 15 00:03:59 the rest of us just care that stuff works Sep 15 00:04:24 and there seems to be some confusion between ahving stuff build and the resulting builds work these days .... Sep 15 01:27:49 well booting linux on an ipaq 4350 is quite tricky eh? haha Sep 15 01:28:12 ive only managed to do it using the live ramfs Sep 15 01:28:25 the sd card method didnt want to play nice Sep 15 01:51:35 heh I have gotten both to work on my h2200 Sep 15 01:51:48 but that thing seems very well supported, at least it was at one time **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 15 02:59:57 2010
