**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 19 02:59:57 2012 Jan 19 08:24:03 hi Jan 19 08:25:36 i've loaded a demo image on the beagle board c3 i have, and try opkg update, there's no network activity and it has yet to finish downloading the first Packages.gz. Is there any way to set up a different mirror for the feeds? Jan 19 08:27:20 i also tried to load a web page from www.angstrom-distribution.org now and it fails to load Jan 19 08:32:02 snowrichard: can you ping www.google.com? Jan 19 08:33:05 is it safe to interrupt the opkg update, it apparently hasn't downloaded anything Jan 19 08:33:28 yep Jan 19 08:33:45 pinging google ok, 959 ms or so Jan 19 08:34:14 so DNS resolv the name and your connection is configured right Jan 19 08:34:21 some packet loss, 11% it said Jan 19 08:34:41 not so good Jan 19 08:35:06 i can call my isp the connection has been flakey at best Jan 19 08:35:47 i get a better connection on my cell phone network but i don't know how to set up the laptop to bridge the usb network to the ethernet for the beagleboard Jan 19 08:36:01 retry ping Jan 19 08:36:12 then retry opkg update Jan 19 08:36:30 doing ping -c 20 Jan 19 08:36:44 no packet loss Jan 19 08:38:06 ethernet light is not blinking on the beagle board though Jan 19 08:38:20 it should be if it were downloading something Jan 19 08:38:31 yes Jan 19 08:38:39 dmesg has errors? Jan 19 08:38:57 your connection is good and DNS resolver too Jan 19 08:39:09 or your ping did,'t work Jan 19 08:39:15 *didn't Jan 19 08:39:18 the last info on dmesg is about omapfb Jan 19 08:39:27 dmesg | grep eth Jan 19 08:39:30 don't see anything about network Jan 19 08:39:31 or dmesg | grep net Jan 19 08:39:35 or dmesg | grep error Jan 19 08:39:44 something like these Jan 19 08:39:57 i don't have a beagle Jan 19 08:40:16 just the info for registering the driver and link up Jan 19 08:40:22 for eth0 Jan 19 08:40:25 try to manually ping the URL that logout dpkg update Jan 19 08:40:36 so should be ok Jan 19 08:41:31 its pinging www.angstrom-distribution.org ok, Jan 19 08:41:36 lost 1 packet Jan 19 08:43:03 but the laptop has never loaded the page i was trying to get from there Jan 19 08:43:03 try to ping URLs inside /etc/opkg/angstrom-base.conf Jan 19 08:43:13 so your connection sucks Jan 19 08:44:06 i can call my isp but they won't be much help and i hate speaking to indian tech reps lol Jan 19 08:45:07 if your "lapdog" can't surf the web and your board too is an ISP problem Jan 19 08:45:14 and we really have no alternative to the satellite here, i used to have a fixed wireless service but they could never get it working right after i had it two years Jan 19 08:45:32 i can get other sites just fine Jan 19 08:45:39 if you can ping www.google.com no more configs are necessary for your board Jan 19 08:46:22 all the guides about internet connection use ping www.google.com as configuration test Jan 19 08:46:29 yeah Jan 19 08:47:01 i did fix one other problem i was having file system errors, i bought a new sd card Jan 19 08:47:01 you can find more opkg info here http://gumstix.org/add-software-packages.html Jan 19 08:47:31 gumstix another arm system? Jan 19 08:48:36 i tried the linaro flavor of ubuntu, but got random kernel panics and it didn't have the module for my ethernet adapter Jan 19 08:49:14 which apparently has been in kernel since 2.6 something Jan 19 08:52:00 strange i put the address of my isp in the url box, and the angstrom page showed up briefly before the isp page loaded Jan 19 08:53:33 well i guess i'll bite the bullet and try calling the isp......supposedly they are 24 hrs tech support open Jan 19 08:53:39 ubuntu has some problems. I have a pandaboard and still have random kernel crash Jan 19 08:54:11 this was the linaro kernel build... Jan 19 08:54:18 they are using kernel 3.0 and has some bugs waiting for fixing Jan 19 08:54:42 it was trying to use a 3.1, so that might be worse even Jan 19 08:55:07 imho openembedded plus angstrom is the best choice Jan 19 08:55:18 but need more time for customizing your distro Jan 19 08:55:37 if i could ever be able to install new packages it would be great Jan 19 08:55:43 latest stable kernel for omap should be 2.6.34/35 Jan 19 08:56:43 well be back later... going to see if i can get isp tech Jan 19 08:56:59 at least i have a working sd card now Jan 19 08:57:50 good luck Jan 19 09:54:24 hi Jan 19 09:55:56 well still having trouble connecting to www.angstrom-distribution.org i called my isp tech support and after much hand waving he decided something is wrong with the satellite modem setup and i should expect to hear from their top level support in 2 business days Jan 19 09:57:33 right now i have this computer directly connected to the modem, no router Jan 19 10:00:09 you can use it as bridge but i don't know how Jan 19 10:00:36 if you are using linux on your PC you should ask on #linux Jan 19 10:07:19 oh i just came back... Jan 19 10:07:36 you mean what i was thinking to use the cell network Jan 19 10:09:25 should be a matter of setting up ip masquerading and packet forwarding between the two interfaces. I did it once before with netbsd to bridge cable modem on cat-5 to coaxial for a vax Jan 19 10:50:53 angstrom: 03testlab  07yocto * r098183ec07 10testlab/beagleboard/eglibc/Cloud9-IDE/build-id: beagleboard: Cloud9-IDE configured for angstrom v2012.01-core using branch angstrom-staging and revision 49849c3294e1a7efd9b47d5e11f2a2e8e604f177 Jan 19 12:43:58 hello folks Jan 19 12:47:21 has someone seen something like that and an idea how to debug that? "ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable SUMMARY, expression was ${SUMMARY}" Jan 19 12:49:07 the recipe is sources/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-support/atk/atk_2.2.0.bb Jan 19 12:49:38 i just cat see any difference to othere recipies which do not throw python errors Jan 19 12:51:00 and SUMMARY..well, there is DESCRIPTION = "An accessibility toolkit for GNOME." and that looks good to. Jan 19 12:51:03 im stuck Jan 19 12:51:43 maybe more a bitbake general question Jan 19 12:52:19 or, openembedded. Jan 19 12:52:24 cu Jan 19 13:09:05 !logs Jan 19 13:14:08 hello. i cant opkg update because the connection to www.angstrom-distribution.org times out at some point of the update process. I try it since 48 hours around the clock, still failes to update. Are there mirrors available? Jan 19 13:43:32 hen: you are not the first one Jan 19 13:43:53 I'm starting to have some doubts about repo presence Jan 19 13:44:01 try to ping it manually Jan 19 13:45:11 its available via ping Jan 19 13:45:15 100% Jan 19 13:45:46 i found out that feeds.angstrom-distribution.org seems to be a mirror and it works Jan 19 13:47:58 so after updating the conf files in /etc/opkg/ via find . -name "*.conf" -print | xargs sed -i 's/www/feeds/g' ... opkg update works Jan 19 13:50:14 too bad so many more people will waste hours of their time finding this solution :-/ Jan 19 13:52:01 angstrom: 03testlab  07yocto * r6c8d8c1dd3 10testlab/beagleboard/eglibc/systemd-image/ (5 files): beagleboard: systemd-image configured for angstrom v2012.01-core using branch angstrom-staging and revision c31ac5d6201066e2d3013634e5ead62032f9564c Jan 19 13:58:00 There is no cursor in X, but mouse is working... How can I switch on the cursor? Jan 19 13:58:23 alt+ctrl+F1-6 Jan 19 13:58:59 or maybe there is a button to activate shell Jan 19 14:00:36 Spider-Pork: Ok, I've got the shell Jan 19 14:00:54 btw, I already had it :) Jan 19 14:01:16 what should I write in xorg.conf? Jan 19 14:01:57 nano /etc/xorg.conf Jan 19 14:02:06 or is under some subdirectory inside /etc Jan 19 14:02:15 nano/vi/vim Jan 19 14:08:02 and what should I write here? Jan 19 14:19:20 Spider-Pork: ??? Jan 19 14:24:11 i dunno Jan 19 14:24:18 search xorg.conf howto Jan 19 14:24:54 Are you using a prebuild image or a bitbake cusom recipe? Jan 19 14:24:59 *custom Jan 19 14:25:45 Spider-Pork: custom Jan 19 14:25:58 I thought you know the answer, dude :-\ Jan 19 14:26:24 no i'm sorry I don't edit xorg.conf from ten years ago with my ati 9100 Jan 19 14:26:58 but waht you need to do? Jan 19 14:27:02 *what Jan 19 14:27:11 fix resolution? Jan 19 14:27:22 you should use boot params for that Jan 19 14:28:11 or try to use prebuild gnome image and get xorg.conf from that Jan 19 14:28:20 and boot.scr too Jan 19 14:28:53 Spider-Pork: I just want to click on what I see :) Jan 19 17:40:18 for narissus and pandaboard, would I want the machine to be 'pandaboard' or 'omap4430-panda'? Jan 19 17:46:10 hmm Jan 19 17:51:33 hi all Jan 19 17:51:47 I'm building an angstrom for pandaboard using narcissus Jan 19 17:51:57 I can't find where add ipkg Jan 19 17:52:02 and xorg-server Jan 19 17:57:40 nico_le_terrible: well ipkg is actually opkg (ipkg has not existed for a very long time) ;). XOrg will be pulled in by just selecting X11 (and give you an optional choice of UX's on top). Jan 19 17:59:33 and if it doesn't ? :$ Jan 19 17:59:39 and I can't find opkg in the list Jan 19 17:59:51 does it depend of the "machine" selected ? Jan 19 18:01:16 nico_le_terrible: you will get opkg as part of Angstrom it is the distro default package manager. Jan 19 18:01:27 nico_le_terrible: no need to select it at all. Jan 19 18:02:26 ok Jan 19 18:02:50 I choose X11 / xfce Jan 19 18:03:05 and when I do startx, it tell me no X server found Jan 19 18:05:29 nico_le_terrible: ahhh, ok, now your into the 'snag' situation ;). Try omap4430-panda as the machine as looking at meta-ti it seems the pandaboard config does not suggest a suitable X server :o (so your not getting one ;-)). Jan 19 18:06:06 nico_le_terrible: that may be something to raise on the mailing list (I don't own or maintain the pandaboard machine files so can't suggest why it is the way it is). Jan 19 18:06:17 ok Jan 19 18:06:53 omap4430-panda has no xorg-server too :( Jan 19 18:07:42 Odd, ok out of my depth now as I build longhand (and mostly just for my openpandora target). Jan 19 18:08:30 and panda is based on arm7 so all packet create for arm7 should be disponible for panda Jan 19 18:08:32 isn't ? Jan 19 18:11:06 nico_le_terrible: yep, that said, some XServer packages will be for the machine not the generic architecture. It's armV7 not arm7 by the way (or it would be damm slow running an X server ;-)) Jan 19 19:53:20 I am having the hardest time with narcissus, I tried a couple builds yesterday and some today and the page never lets me know where or when my download is ready Jan 19 23:14:50 is there an openembedded channel? Jan 19 23:16:52 nvm Jan 20 02:06:54 hi, i am trying to build openjdk but the builder cannot match the package, opendjk recipes are there but is like cannot match it: recipes$ ls openjdk Jan 20 02:06:54 files openjdk-6-6b18-1.8.5 openjdk-6_6b18-1.8.bb openjdk-6-release-6b18.inc Jan 20 02:06:54 openjdk-6-6b18-1.8 openjdk-6_6b18-1.8.5.bb openjdk-6-common.inc Jan 20 02:55:00 hi **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jan 20 02:59:57 2012
