| 00:14.00 | jbowler-away | For OpenSlug the SVN 1.12 source tarball |
| 00:15.22 | crh | jbowler-away: I'm going through the recommended package install now, and I'll grab the 1.12 tarball... Thanks. |
| 00:16.41 | rwhitby-away | 8:51 to 9:12 - jbowler had 2.6.12 built within half an hour - much less than dyoungs "within hours" prediction :-) |
| 00:16.56 | rwhitby-away | crh: svn trunk on berlios |
| 00:17.20 | rwhitby-away | that's 1.12, but with jbowler's boot structure change included |
| 00:17.48 | crh | rwhitby-away: I grabbed that, and it whined at me. You asked earlier, and I don't yet have bk. |
| 00:17.50 | rwhitby-away | and we can always update that svn snapshot if you need something more recent |
| 00:18.00 | crh | I'm just trying to fill in the missing pieces. |
| 00:18.19 | rwhitby-away | the svn trunk whined? |
| 00:18.58 | crh | No... I need to figure out what else I'm missing. It seems to want the jit compiler. I've just installed ccache and I'm working on finding out what else is missing. |
| 00:19.10 | rwhitby-away | oh, ok. |
| 00:19.35 | crh | Samba's all nicely in userspace, so I can ignore some details... :) |
| 00:20.08 | rwhitby-away | crh: yeah, if you're ignoring boot or rc changes, then 1.12-beta binary will be fine |
| 00:20.51 | crh | I'll go through the steps and work with the svn version. I just need to get the environment set up... |
| 00:21.25 | rwhitby-away | be aware that the wiki is probably a bit out of date on the openslug build front, but you'll get the idea ... |

| 00:22.49 | jbowler-away | The trunk used to build fine for me (a couple of weeks ago), but I've got psyco installed. |

| 00:26.56 | crh | ERROR: Nothing provides openslug-packages ...Is this just a setup goof on my part or do I need to find and download these as well? |
| 00:29.21 | jbowler-away | That's a setup problem |
| 00:29.58 | jbowler-away | The 'make' should run bitbake and find around 300 packages (symlinks/packages/*.bb) |
| 00:30.45 | crh | It started finding packages... it stopped with that error. What should I look at fixing? |
| 00:31.39 | rwhitby-away | crh: did you let the Makefile from svn create your local.conf, or did you create it yourself? |
| 00:31.50 | crh | I let it do the work... |
| 00:32.07 | rwhitby-away | (the svn one uses nslu2-linux for the symlinks dir, the bk uses nslu-package-symlinks for the name of the same dir) |
| 00:32.32 | crh | Ah. So I need to change that in the local.conf? |

| 01:12.33 | crh | Should be manually fixable. I think. |
| 01:13.00 | jbowler-away | Maybe - it's weird that SVN should generate the correct link target prefixed by 'link ' |
| 01:13.29 | crh | Holy bananafish, batman. All of the files are like that. Looks like an easy thing to fix with a shell script. |
| 01:13.40 | jbowler-away | If symbolic links don't work reliably there will be problems generating an image - the root file system contains a number of links. |

| 05:05.55 | jbowler-away | Unless I'm missing something fd1 just comes from the kernel, so this doesn't make sense - apparently kprintf's are disappearing somewhere but /dev/console is fine. |
| 05:07.03 | jacques | I've seen this behavior before when the console= is wrong in the kernel cmdline |
| 05:07.50 | jacques | I tried ttySAC0 after reading some posts on lak, but it made no difference |
| 05:08.09 | jacques | heck it's probably ttyPXAC0 or some crap now |
| 05:08.29 | jbowler-away | Might be, also there's a new entry in the config (I think it's new): General Setup --> Configure standard kernel features... --> [*] Enable support for printk |
| 05:08.45 | jbowler-away | I don't remember seeing that before (but it is enabled). |
| 05:09.06 | jacques | hmm, yeah they could have changed some configs, definitely |
| 05:09.46 | jbowler-away | Yep, it's new - it isn't in menuconfig for 2.6.11.2 |
| 05:10.27 | jacques | take a look at this (only two post thread) |
| 05:10.31 | jacques | http://news.gmane.org/navbar.php?group=gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel&article=19026&next=19027&prev=19029&newsrc=,18779-18780,18781,18793,18809,18812,18855,18859,18864,18870,18872,18880,18882,18899-18900,18904,18905,18906,18908,18912,18932,18935,18936,18951,18954,18957,18966,19000,19007,19026,19031,19034 |
| 05:11.17 | jacques | (dunno if it's even relevant - I hope it's just a new config we're missing) |
| 05:12.40 | jbowler-away | Oh, there's 10k of help built in to devio BTW (devio -h) |
| 05:13.00 | jacques | ah cool |
| 05:13.28 | jacques | what do you think of the reflash script being able to just do kernel tho? |
| 05:14.20 | jbowler-away | I want it to do that too, having used it a bit (with a warning about making sure /lib/modules is good for the kernel) |
| 05:14.53 | jacques | :-) |
| 05:17.12 | jacques | whoops |
| 05:17.23 | jacques | somehow my change did not "take" |
| 05:17.35 | jacques | my /proc/cmdline still shows ttyS0 |
| 05:18.20 | jbowler-away | Did you change it in the defconfig or the .bb? |
| 05:18.38 | jbowler-away | Or did you use menuconfig (which I find to be faster, though less permanent...) |
| 05:18.44 | jacques | defconfig |
| 05:18.49 | jacques | did I do wrong? |
| 05:19.06 | jbowler-away | Nope, you have to change it in a .bb of conf file... |
| 05:19.32 | jacques | so I did do it wrong |
| 05:19.41 | jbowler-away | CMDLINE_CONSOLE ?= "ttyS0,115200n8" (in nslu2-kernel.inc) |
| 05:19.51 | jacques | can I put it in my local.conf ? |
| 05:20.08 | jbowler-away | I think that will work |
| 05:20.29 | jacques | ok, I will test in a few minutes - BIAB |
| 05:21.41 | jbowler-away | Blurgh... in kernel.bbclass: export CMDLINE_CONSOLE = "console=${@bb.data.getVar("KERNEL_CONSOLE",d,1) or "ttyS0"}" |

| 05:25.40 | jbowler-away | I am in a maze of twisty bb files, all different. machine/nslu2.conf:KERNEL_CONSOLE = "ttyS0,115200n8" |
| 05:26.47 | jbowler-away | I think that last one should be ?= and the local.conf should specify KERNEL_CONSOLE to override. |
| 05:41.39 | jacques | that sounds right |
| 05:42.17 | jbowler-away | Or even just hard-wire it in the .bb file, since it seems to be version specific. |
| 05:42.27 | jbowler-away | (I.e. set it in nslu2-kernel_2.6.12.bb) |
| 05:44.08 | jbowler-away | Um, that change alone seems to allow the network to come up. Bogus. |
| 05:44.29 | jacques | which change ? |
| 05:44.44 | jbowler-away | Oh, in recent builds the Disk1 light flashes while the dropbearkey is being generated. |
| 05:44.51 | jacques | neat |
| 05:45.13 | jbowler-away | pinging the machine speeds it up. |
| 05:45.22 | jacques | LOL |
| 05:46.00 | jacques | so if I set KERNEL_CONSOLE in nslu2-kernel_2.6.12.bb it should take? |
| 05:46.35 | jbowler-away | I believe so - the check is to look at the .config in the 2.6.12 source (S) directory after do_configure has run. |
| 05:46.42 | jacques | yah |
| 05:46.50 | jacques | this time I will before flashing and rebooting :-) |
| 05:47.06 | jacques | just that last time I messed with kernel args, the defconfig was the place to do it |
| 05:47.42 | jbowler-away | Hum. I think I've got a dropbear which reads from /dev/random. Hope I didn't check that in... |
| 05:50.02 | jbowler-away | Yes, not checked in, apart from that the tty fix seems to be working. |
| 05:50.18 | jbowler-away | Is this a candidate for OpenSlug 2.0? |
| 05:51.24 | jacques | you mean because of the kernel change? |
| 05:51.42 | jacques | or all the other changes that have gone in recently ? |
| 05:51.51 | jbowler-away | I mean make the next release use 2.6.12 rather than 2.6.11.2 |
| 05:52.45 | jbowler-away | All the other changes are in, though the reboot problem still needs to be fixed (and I think turnup is slightly broken on uclibc sed) |
| 05:53.27 | jacques | sounds reasonable to me |
| 05:55.07 | jacques | I guess we really should do some additional testing on 2.6.12, tho what that should be I dunno offhand |
| 05:56.12 | jbowler-away | The reboot changes I checked in (they are in the build you have) set the led to red just before the flash is remapped, switch on disk1 and disk2 just after, mov pc, #0 then fail (the watchdog cuts in about 4s later and kills the LEDs) |
| 05:56.41 | jacques | ok, I did reboot, and it locked with: ready:off ethernet:green |
| 05:56.43 | jbowler-away | I'm interested in knowing whether RedBoot manages to put anything up on the serial |
| 05:57.13 | jacques | last thing I see on serial is: |

| 06:03.59 | jacques | ttySAC0 appears to be a bust :-( |
| 06:04.53 | jacques | what does the beep and change from yellow to red mean ? |
| 06:05.01 | jbowler-away | Was there a /.recovery on /dev/sda2? |
| 06:05.19 | jacques | dunno , already rebooting |
| 06:05.40 | jbowler-away | The beep means that nslu2-io.c init has just run - amber is 'redboot' and most of the kernel reboot, 'red' happens near the end. |
| 06:06.18 | jacques | ok it's up and it booted from the disk fine |
| 06:06.29 | jacques | the bad console must have confused it before |

| 13:15.20 | mr_claus | rwhitby: but the question was for unslung and/or openslug |
| 13:15.35 | mr_claus | rwhitby: it was a generally build system question |
| 13:16.12 | rwhitby | mr_claus: is it a module, or does it have to be always compiled in? If the latter, how big is it? |
| 13:16.30 | rwhitby | on the build question, the answer is yes. |
| 13:16.58 | mr_claus | rwhitby: i will check these things ..... |
| 13:17.19 | mr_claus | rwhitby: it has to be compiled in, it is not a module |

| 13:20.30 | rwhitby | ok |
| 13:20.47 | mr_claus | the commands of busybox will not support it, so while copying from one disk to another could loose the access rights |
| 13:21.08 | mr_claus | its working of course but the copy will not contain the access rights of the original file perhaps |
| 13:21.09 | Tiersten | Isn't this more of a feature for OpenSlug? |
| 13:21.38 | mr_claus | depends on what the cp command will do here |
| 13:21.45 | Tiersten | It doesn't fit in with the Unslung feature set because the rest of Unslung and the Linksys binaries don't support it |
| 13:26.21 | mr_claus | Tiersten: that could be, i need to check it |
| 13:42.25 | mr_claus | hmm, openslug could be smaller if using uclibc instead of glibc, but probably OE is only working with glibc out of the box |
| 13:43.45 | rwhitby | Tiersten: that's what I would think too |
| 13:44.12 | rwhitby | mr_claus: OpenSlug is designed to work with either uclibc or glibc |

| 14:06.27 | GenX | greetings all, looking at flashing to 5.5 from 2.3R25/Unslung 3.18. In the readme 2-b) sees Click 'Enter the Maintenance Mode' before using web interface...... |
| 14:06.36 | GenX | I just can't see it |
| 14:06.49 | GenX | I have Administration | Upgrade |
| 14:07.05 | GenX | with "Exit Maintenance Mode" but I haven't done anything consciously to enable it |
| 14:07.11 | GenX | greatful for any thoughts |
| 14:11.51 | mr_claus | GenX: i would use the sercomm utility to upgrade the box |

| 14:20.19 | GenX | is it just me, or there some type of speed increase between 3.18 and 5.5 ? |
| 14:20.23 | GenX | just an illusion ? |

| 15:32.40 | jbowler-zzz | mr_claus: the extended attributes are per-file-system-type and, so far as I know, jffs2 does not support them |
| 15:33.48 | jbowler-zzz | It's possible to build ext?, reiserfs and NFS with extended attributes (and probably resier4), and one of the kernel builds checked in for openslug (nslu2-kernel 2.6.12) has the support. |
| 15:34.22 | jbowler-zzz | Because openslug keeps all the file system support apart from jffs2 in modules the kernel size is not an issue. |

| 20:38.31 | AdamBaker | Hi - is there anyone around who wants to admit any responsibility for the coreutils package in unslung? I've hit a program name clash again. |

| 22:29.41 | rwhitby-away | AdamBaker: whenever we release a replacement package for something in coreutils, we have a choice - either remove it from coreutils, or use the update-alternatives functionality. |
| 22:30.15 | rwhitby-away | See php-apache and php-thttpd for an example of using update-alternatives |
