**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 02 03:00:00 2017 Jan 02 11:31:30 hi guys! Jan 02 11:31:46 tryin my first time to compile [and then install] Yocto on a BeagleBone black Jan 02 11:32:14 i started bitbake but it is giving some warnings because it cannot get source code for some packages Jan 02 11:34:58 Talorno: post the warnings :), sounds like it might just be falling back to fetching from the yoctoproject source mirror Jan 02 11:35:16 RNING: zlib-native-1.2.8-r0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.xz, attempting MIRRORS if available Jan 02 11:35:16 WARNING: libpng-native-1.6.24-r0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/libpng-1.6.24.tar.xz, attempting MIRRORS if available Jan 02 11:35:16 WARNING: nano-2.2.5-r3.0 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL ftp://nano-editor.org/pub/nano/v2.2/nano-2.2.5.tar.gz, attempting MIRRORS if available Jan 02 11:35:17 WARNING: netcat-0.7.1-r3 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL http://downloads.sourceforge.net/netcat/netcat-0.7.1.tar.bz2, attempting MIRRORS if available Jan 02 11:35:20 WARNING: devmem2-1.0-r7 do_fetch: Failed to fetch URL http://www.lartmaker.nl/lartware/port/devmem2.c, attempting MIRRORS if available Jan 02 11:35:33 nrossi, you italian? Jan 02 11:36:03 Talorno: I am of Italian descent, but am Australian :) Jan 02 11:36:22 Talorno: Does it actually fail to fetch, or does it just keep going? Jan 02 11:36:25 i was wondering looking at your surname :) btw nice to meet you Jan 02 11:36:28 as in does it error? Jan 02 11:36:42 Talorno: nice to meet you too : Jan 02 11:36:58 nrossi, i guess it tries, it fails, it keeps going Jan 02 11:37:11 actually i have that terminal on a virtual machine, reduced to tray Jan 02 11:37:54 so sometimes i open it to check and i find the warnings but the thing is still going [Currently 4 running tasks (1618 of 2774) 58% |##### ] | Jan 02 11:38:04 Talorno: the warnings are ok, its just letting you know that its fetching the source from an alternate mirror. If it errors trying to fetch the sources then you have problems. Jan 02 11:38:36 but.. does that means that i will have to do something later? or is it already getting the source from elsewhere? Jan 02 11:40:39 Talorno: it is attempting to get it from somewhere else, if it fails to do that it will error. If it succeeds in getting it from the alternate mirror you wont have to do anything :) Jan 02 11:43:00 ok :D Jan 02 11:54:51 i was asking myself why i cannot find any pre-built binay images for standard platforms like bbb Jan 02 12:20:58 nrossi, can i bother you for a couple of minutes more? Jan 02 12:21:11 Talorno: sure Jan 02 12:21:34 seems like everything is fine now, i built qt5-image and no worries... Jan 02 12:21:47 i was thinking about "converting" it to a emmc writable image Jan 02 12:22:06 i read round that i have to include a "recipe" in the qt5-image build [conf file, i think] Jan 02 12:22:27 i cannot really understand the whole mechanism, is there something i can read to be clarified? Jan 02 12:23:26 i mean...i wonder if i add that "recipe" meta-bbb/recipes-support/emmc-installer in some conf file, next time i build the qt5-image it will add some scripts and so on inside the image Jan 02 12:23:50 it reminds me of the USE mechanism in gentoo :D [lots of tears] but.... is there anything that explains the whole thing a little bit better? Jan 02 12:28:13 Talorno: Im not particularly familiar with the bbb emmc flow (i've only got a beaglebone). There should be some documentation about it out there :) Jan 02 12:28:21 Talorno: emmc-installer is a fairly bbb specific, you should look for meta-bbb documentation. IIRC you want to build the installer-image, which (when booted) will install to mmc Jan 02 12:30:33 (because the mmc is only accessible from a running system, again IIRC) Jan 02 12:44:30 jku...probably my question was another Jan 02 12:45:14 some guide around the web says that to transform qt5-image from a sdcard bootable to an emmc installable one you just have to "add the recipe" Jan 02 12:45:21 but i don't know exactly where Jan 02 12:45:28 so maybe i wanna read something about Jan 02 12:45:37 the generic recipe system Jan 02 12:49:49 I think getting anything to boot from the emmc is very bbb specific. It's unlikely that generic documentation will get you there Jan 02 12:50:02 not saying you shouldn't read general docs of course, just that you should look for meta-bbb specific help as well Jan 02 12:57:38 sorry guys but i still cannot understand Jan 02 12:58:15 i "built" two images AFAIK, doing bitbake qt5-image and then installer-image Jan 02 12:58:27 they are supposed to be two different images, right? Jan 02 13:03:40 jku/nrossi :D Jan 02 13:03:52 yes Jan 02 13:05:40 Hi all. I'd like to use html/js/css minifier(s) for some sources i've got. Since i didn't do that for quite some time i gave it a quick google and found, that most of the active projects seem to live in the nodejs eco system nowadays. Did anyone do some minification in a yoctobuild yet and got some tips for me? Jan 02 13:07:01 so, jku, is the installer image supposed to have qt5 support also? i mean... is the installer image just the qt image with some more scripts? Jan 02 13:07:24 or if i use the installer to install on the emmc i will miss qt5 support? Jan 02 13:07:37 (and so i will have to recompile qt5 image with install recipe?) Jan 02 13:07:41 dunno if i have been clear Jan 02 13:09:28 Talorno: no, my understanding is this : you need to be running on bbb hardware to be able to install anything onto the emmc. So you need the installer image for that. When booted the installer will install whatever (compatible) image you want onto the emmc Jan 02 13:11:06 i know i have to be running on the bbb to flash emmc, that's fine. But... how? I mean........ i have the qt5 image compiled but i want it to boot from the emmc and not from the sd card Jan 02 13:12:54 1) use some meta-bbb specific scripts to prepare the sd card Jan 02 13:13:07 2) boot from sd (this is the installer image) Jan 02 13:13:24 3) installer will install the real image to emmc Jan 02 13:14:44 i am not able to pose my real question btw thanks a lot Jan 02 13:14:50 i will try Jan 02 13:15:05 it's _probably_ the "using the installer-image" part of http://www.jumpnowtek.com/beaglebone/BeagleBone-Systems-with-Yocto.html Jan 02 13:15:49 but you'll have to look at copy_rootfs.sh to figure out how to tell it that you want the qt5 image Jan 02 13:16:56 now you probably got my doubts!! :D Jan 02 13:18:37 sorry, meant copy_emmc_install.sh of course (that's what copies the real image) Jan 02 13:52:05 Good afternoon, I am a bit new to yocto.. A question, how should i read/understand an error message such as "ParseError at path/xyz.bbclass Could not inherit file path2/zxy.bbclass if the file path2/zxy.bbclass file exists? Do i miss some configuration? Jan 02 13:52:54 does it exist in one of the paths listed in BBPATH variable? Jan 02 13:56:47 Where is LetoThe2nd if you need him :O Jan 02 13:57:49 JaMA, thank you for your answer :) I just noticed a mistake on my part when i took a step back. **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 02 17:27:43 2017 Jan 02 18:19:03 hi all Jan 02 18:19:29 tyring to run my own build of yocto on a beaglebone black Jan 02 18:19:32 stuck on a Jan 02 18:19:48 "INIT: cannot execute "/bin/sh" Jan 02 18:19:48 " issue Jan 02 18:19:49 no ideas. Jan 02 18:19:53 any hint? Jan 02 18:22:24 just checked, i have the binary at the right place Jan 02 19:05:29 hi guys Jan 02 19:10:44 i have a strange issue, yocto built for beaglebone black, no errors, qt5 rootfs image is about 90mbytes ( ????? ), put on the sd in the right way, it doesn't boot, complaining about /bin/sh. I had a check, the executable is in place..... any hints? Jan 02 19:33:51 is there anybody out there? Jan 02 21:33:05 hey Jan 02 21:33:08 anyone around? Jan 02 21:33:14 need a hand with a beaglebone black Jan 02 21:43:10 write your issue or pastebin it. we cannot guess. Jan 02 22:49:01 hello, has anyone got a recipe for Lapack on yocto? Any reason why this would be a bad idea? thanks Jan 02 22:49:47 I notice its not used in oe numpy for instance, so I'm assuming this was because its hard Jan 02 22:50:21 I was working on a recipe for scipy.interpolate but it depends on lapack I just found out Jan 02 23:14:05 hey Jan 02 23:14:12 is there anybody out there? Jan 02 23:14:21 need a help with yocto on a bbb Jan 02 23:14:47 INIT: cannot execute "/bin/sh" Jan 02 23:15:38 /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash that is at its place Jan 02 23:15:44 i don't know what to do Jan 02 23:23:19 .... Jan 02 23:23:34 what a helpful community Jan 02 23:33:44 it's the day after a major holiday, a lot of people are probably still on vacation. Jan 02 23:33:46 it's the middle of the afternoon on a US holiday Jan 02 23:33:56 yesterday was new year's day, but that was a weekend, it's observed today Jan 02 23:34:06 plenty of companies gave people today off, afaik including the government and post office Jan 02 23:34:17 most folks would rather spend such days with their families than twiddling their thumbs on irc Jan 02 23:37:18 f Jan 02 23:37:32 it's 2 days that i am begging for a clue Jan 02 23:37:47 and as i just said, yesterday was new year's day Jan 02 23:38:06 in the whole community, just ME working on that thing Jan 02 23:38:08 also whining isn't likely to make anyone particularly sympathetic to your plight, even if they have an answer, which is unlikely, considering your issue sounds highly hardware specific Jan 02 23:39:06 it's not this. it's just that i would not ask for help if i had any idea. By the way, i don't wanna bother anybody new year's day Jan 02 23:39:30 i will throw away that shit and use some closed source stuff that at least is supposed to work Jan 02 23:39:39 personally, i boot my beagleboard black built out of oe/yocto distros on a regular basis Jan 02 23:39:51 kergoth, that's what i'm saying, that i have a problem Jan 02 23:39:54 and i don't have a clue Jan 02 23:40:13 'cause i didn't do anything different from what any tutorial was expecting me to do Jan 02 23:40:18 that is why i don't have a clue Jan 02 23:41:14 Do you get any diagnostics *before* the cannot execute message? Jan 02 23:41:31 If you just manually alter the image to replace the /bin/sh symlink with a copy of the bash binary, does it behave differently? Jan 02 23:41:38 that would be a good idea, the error alone doesn't tell us much, there are a ton of possible causes Jan 02 23:42:29 1.900066] mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 S10004 3.56 GiB Jan 02 23:42:29 [ 1.905351] mmcblk1boot0: mmc1:0001 S10004 partition 1 4.00 MiB Jan 02 23:42:29 [ 1.912064] mmcblk1boot1: mmc1:0001 S10004 partition 2 4.00 MiB Jan 02 23:42:29 [ 1.920641] mmcblk1: p1 Jan 02 23:42:29 [ 1.945751] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Jan 02 23:43:50 i am building poky, morty branch Jan 02 23:44:06 no errors in the building phase Jan 02 23:44:10 no errors using the sd scripts Jan 02 23:44:30 did you try reporting the issue or asking for help from the maintainer of the meta-bbb layer? because i've never heard of meta-bbb or jumpnowtek Jan 02 23:45:07 kergoth, so would you please be so kind to point me to a guide that you can say * it works* for bbb? Jan 02 23:45:12 looks like meta-bbb is beaglebone-specific. Jan 02 23:45:39 i... have no idea whether or not i have a beaglebone. i think i had one from WR, but I also think I returned all my boards successfully. So I probably don't. Jan 02 23:46:13 the goal that i'm trying to achieve is to have a working [and fast booting] linux /Qt system to develop on Jan 02 23:46:26 I'd probably start by mounting the filesystem and poking around on it. Like, if it's mounted as /mnt/foo, try file /mnt/foo/bin/sh /mnt/foo/bin/bash Jan 02 23:46:54 seebs, you mean on the board? no way to make it responding Jan 02 23:47:10 no, he means mounting the rootfs on the host Jan 02 23:47:14 No, I mean, on the host you used to make the SD card. That can presumably access it. Jan 02 23:47:19 the only way i can poke around with the filesystem is mounting the sdcard on my laptop Jan 02 23:47:32 ... I should point out, I'm not even actually involved anymore, except that I maintain pseudo because if I stop maintaining it SOMEONE ELSE MESSES WITH MY BABY. Jan 02 23:47:53 I'd really suggest contacting the maintainer of the layer, if its output fails to work for you Jan 02 23:48:30 is there another way that you could please point me to, to achieve what i'm trying to achieve? Jan 02 23:48:51 Hmm. Jan 02 23:49:16 Honestly, for what you're looking for, I'm not at all convinced beaglebone is a good starting point. Jan 02 23:49:24 It's really not intended to be a good development platform, I don't think? Jan 02 23:49:39 Yocto's primarily targeted at building embedded systems, not building systems for doing development on. Jan 02 23:50:21 no, wait. I've been wrong. I meant i wanna develop my platform and develop an application over this. I mean crosscompiling from my laptop Jan 02 23:50:28 ohhhh Jan 02 23:51:07 In that case, Yocto's at least somewhat reasonable for it, yeah. Hmm. Jan 02 23:51:25 Okay, thing I'd probably try: Try to follow similar instructions to make a bootable SD card that should be compatible with, say, your laptop. Jan 02 23:51:50 And boot that. If it works, the problem is somehow specific to the beaglebone layer. If it doesn't, you don't have to think about the beaglebone, you just have to look at your target. Jan 02 23:52:15 ... oh hey. That's a thought: If your BSP is supported by qemu, or a similar-enough one is, you can probably try the qemu emulator to see whether you can boot a target that way. Jan 02 23:52:19 i'd remove meta-bbb from conf/bblayers.conf, add meta-ti, change MACHINE to beaglebone in conf/local.conf, wipe tmp, and build core-image-minimal and boot that Jan 02 23:52:21 Then you can debug your rootfs problems entirely on host. Jan 02 23:52:24 yeah, qemu is a good idea as well Jan 02 23:53:42 i will try to recompile it no using meta-bbb..i think it won't even start... Jan 02 23:53:52 by the way, thanks for your time and for your patience Jan 02 23:53:53 meta-bbb isn't even in the oe layer index. Jan 02 23:54:11 maybe it's good, maybe not, but i'd test with content from texas instruments to make sure it's not related to it Jan 02 23:54:24 sorry if someone thought i am just whining, i think i will just try for the last time then i will abandon Jan 02 23:55:29 but like i said, you can always contact the layer maintainer. it's using their images, their kernel, etc, if it doesn't boot, then either it's something odd on your end or a bug in their layer Jan 03 00:00:47 i will try... thanks for you time.. Jan 03 00:01:11 gotta go. Have a nice night all and a wonderful new year Jan 03 01:45:08 Hi, Package "kernel-modules" does install the kernel into /boot - but I don't want that. How can I stop that from happening? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jan 03 03:00:01 2017
