**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 24 02:59:58 2011 Jan 24 03:52:25 I'm having the same problem as thise two guys: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-users/2010-October/003418.html and http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-users/2010-November/003461.html Jan 24 03:52:31 when I try to run startx on a booted narcissus image, I got: /usr/bin/startx: line 183: Jan 24 03:52:31 /OE/angstrom-dev/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/mcookie: not found Jan 24 03:52:45 and /usr/bin/X doesn't exist. neither does xauth Jan 24 03:53:02 this is with a narcissus image that I built where I selected x11 and xfce Jan 24 03:59:29 oh and the hardware is a beagleboard xm Jan 24 06:15:12 is this #idlerpg or something? it was over 2 hours ago when I said that several people have had problems with narcissus building broken images :/ Jan 24 06:15:52 i still need to try it Jan 24 06:16:52 I also tried builds from http://www.sakoman.com/ Jan 24 06:17:08 they cut my cpu speed in half and didn't detect the framebuffer Jan 24 06:23:07 ggreer: this isn't the most active community and many people in here do not know the interworkings of the distro much at all, idle hard or die :/ Jan 24 06:23:29 :/ Jan 24 06:23:34 if someone knows the answer to your question they'll speak up Jan 24 07:48:12 I think I've mostly figured it out. I was missing a ridiculous number of packages needed by X Jan 24 07:54:50 yessssss Jan 24 07:55:22 I basically went through the xorg crash log and kept searching for and installing packages Jan 24 07:55:35 it was missing lots of video drivers and kernel modules **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 24 11:22:50 2011 Jan 24 11:58:25 hi everyone, i have been looking for a cheap device with a touch screen to develop a application for precision agriculture Jan 24 12:00:02 and i found out that the archos 101, had everything i want in terms of hardware, but the android as far as i know doesn't have support for those usb-rs232 dongles, so is angstrom linux for the archos 101 stable, can i recompile kernel for the devices? i am kind lost Jan 24 12:22:34 eurisko: there is an overlay published by archos. you can use that to rebuild what you need Jan 24 12:23:21 eurisko: it should be possible to add the necessary usb2serial modules to the android firmware too though Jan 24 12:41:12 dm8tbr, i am kind of lost, i am at the starting point of the project, so i also not made a decision of what OS, i will use to develop the application (android,meego, other linux) ?... Jan 24 12:41:55 can't really help you ther :) Jan 24 12:42:03 ehhe Jan 24 12:42:03 all are valid options Jan 24 12:42:45 but i think that with android will be hard to get that usb2serial working i don't know Jan 24 12:45:11 it is easy enough once you can modify the filesystem Jan 24 12:45:20 or are root, or both Jan 24 12:46:28 well i will start with buying the archos 101, or trying because i can't find it anywhere Jan 24 12:49:08 I'd guess that supply is getting better by now though Jan 24 12:49:22 it used to be very hard right after it was released Jan 24 12:51:36 i "bought" one in december but the seller made a refund because he couldn't deliver it Jan 24 12:51:57 so or the device is having big sales, or low production Jan 24 12:52:23 I think gen8 sells like hotcakes **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jan 25 02:59:57 2011
