00:53.04TMM1i can't figure out how to get grub installed on my ext2 bootstrap image. i can dd stage1 to the image but then the size changes to 512 and i can't loop mount it anymore

00:54.50likewiseTMM1: What's the exact dd command you use?
00:59.23TMM1dd if=stage1 of=rootfs.ext bs=512 count=1
01:09.14likewisedd if=rootfs.ext of=rootfs_tmp.ext skip=1 bs=512; cat stage1 rootfs_tmp.ext >rootfs_with_stage1.ext
01:10.25likewiseor maybe use the "notrunc" option of dd in the way you use it.

01:14.44emteTMM1, i don not (myself) belive it is possible
01:14.50emtedo not*
01:14.51TMM1hrmf
01:14.57TMM1someone in the channel earlier suggested it
01:15.15TMM1how else could i accomplish it
01:15.21emteyou MAY be able to install grub in an image IF you know the exact device sice and it's allocations
01:15.44emteotherwise you need to somehow run a script to set thses things after the image is installed
01:16.03TMM1but i can't run a script if the image won't boot
01:16.13emtethat is correct
01:16.29emtethsi is the reason for installer shelles
01:16.31emtethis*
01:17.33emteyou possibly need to build/run a ram image to handle installing
01:18.20emtekeep in mind this is only my thoughts, it may be  possible some other way
01:19.02emtebut grub reads from your device MBR or somewhere else it is told to
01:19.17emteit needs a valid partition table somewhere
01:20.21TMM1ok, but if i'm going to dd this ext2 image directly to a harddrive to boot an x86 machine- shouldn't i just be able to stick the stage1 at the first sector so it ends up on the mbr
01:20.46emtethere is nothing to say that is where it exists
01:21.42TMM1hmm
01:21.55emtewhat your doing is a common issue with GHOST images
01:22.32emteor any other backup/replicating scheme that uses direct images
01:23.20emteit works perfectly on the same hardware it came from, but not other hardware
01:24.33TMM1ok well in this case i'm only interested in this particular hardware
01:24.36emteyou may want to look at something like annaconda or one of the other distro installers for a couple ideas how to handle this issue

17:14.53jncexactly.  that bug report is mostly a discussion on what is already known
17:17.05jncwould someone on ia32 build host please test this patch? http://bugs.openembedded.org/attachment.cgi?id=496
17:18.18koenjnc: libsdl-qte and libsdl-x11 are binary interchangable for apps that link against one of them
17:18.51koenwhich is what #115 is about, that OE doesn't know how to handle virtual/<something>
17:18.59jncoh?
17:19.13jncthere was mention of a spurious main() function
17:19.14koenthe -DSDLMAIN was fixed eons ago
17:19.21jncah =)
17:19.26jncokay so they are binary compatible huh
17:19.56jncwould this make sense to handle at the package manager level?
17:20.05koenit already is
17:20.18koenwhen #115 was closed it worked as expected
17:20.33jncoh then why suggest to reopen it
17:20.50koenthe packages depended on libsdl_1.2.x and your package manager will select the appropriate one from the feeds
17:21.08jncthat sounds okay
17:21.19koenI suggested to reopen it since CoreDump|home was seeing Depends: libsdl-qte
17:21.35CoreDump|homeactually I wasn't
17:21.37jncohh, not depends libsdl_1.2.x
17:21.50CoreDump|homei was seeing gpe-apps compiled with QPE sdl
17:22.17koenah, I misunderstoodn
17:22.26koenthat's pretty harmless
17:22.35CoreDump|homebut annyoing =\
17:22.42koenprovided you only have libsdl-x11 visible to ipkg
17:23.08koenit's one of the things you have to pay attention to as a distro developer :)
17:23.44CoreDump|homeheh I hate it when mplayer/gpe doesn't run because it can't find libqpe or something like that
17:25.37jnckoen: how about we dump some of this into the sanity check bb
17:25.38koenthat should only happen if you screw up your feeds
17:25.46jncand spit out warnings that we as developers can grok ;)
17:26.45jncanyways...  i'm just talking for apparently no reason.  back to reviewing amd64 build host patches

18:14.38HuntrCkri have this newly set up image of familiar running
18:14.44HuntrCkrand i am very happy
18:15.09HuntrCkrnow, i am trying my utmost to make the boot process a bit more verbose, so i can actually see whats happening
18:15.58HuntrCkri have tried setting the VERBOSE property in /etc/defaults/rcS to "yes" and "very", but i am not noticing any effect whatsoever
18:16.15HuntrCkrwhat am i be doing wrong?
18:16.51CoreDump|homedunno about fam, but check /etc/init.d/rc*
18:20.10CoreDump|homeyay! Working hotkeys =)
18:21.35HuntrCkrok CoreDump|home, i agree with you... i did check the init.d/rcS script, which is the very first script that runs... it has a few lines that say that if $VERBOSE = very, echo "Init".... etc etc. set VERBOSE to very, but no effect :(
18:22.01koenCoreDump|home: have you tried the softkeys on the lcd yet?
18:22.43CoreDump|homekoen: nope, they do not work
18:23.45HuntrCkr[ "$VERBOSE" = very ] && echo "INIT: Running $i..."
18:24.59HuntrCkrnow, if VERBOSE is set to very in the config file, what could possible reasons be for not seeing it... or is it perhaps echoing this back over the serial line instead of on the screen
18:25.58BernardoCoreDump|home: gpe or opie?

19:11.34koenthe patches are in bugzilla
19:11.54jncokay so how are patches in bugzilla tracked
19:12.06jnceverything and its mother is assigned to oe@handhelds.org
19:12.15jncwhen bugs are assigned, people bitch about it
19:12.20koenthat's how we use bugzilla
19:12.46koenjnc: people bitch because you force stuff onto them
19:12.56jncforce?
19:13.07jnci'm not holding a gun to your head demanding you fix a bug or you die
19:13.11jncthat's hardly force.  
19:13.28koenyou're assigning a bug to people without asking them for consent
19:13.37koenwhich is forcing stuff onto people
19:13.42jncif a bug is interesting to me, and i've commented on it, i would not complain if someone assigned it to me and told me to keep on top of fixing it
19:14.03koenif someone wants to fix a bug, he assigns it to him/herself
19:14.16CoreDump|homeexactly
19:14.16jncokay
19:14.40jnci'm doing wifi/amd64/gcc stuff....  with this mentality you speak of, someone has to go out of their way to ask me if i want the bug
19:15.01koenthat's called communicating
19:15.03jncinstead of just assigning it to me, in which case it shows up in my list and i can see if i want to work on it or not
19:15.12koentry it sometimes, its pretty usefull
19:15.38jnci'm taking that to be a hint of sarcasm :/
19:16.06jncit sounds like a waste of time to me, and inefficient
19:16.44koenbugs default to oe@, a mail gets sent to the list so every dev sees and and a dev can *choose* to pick up a bug
19:16.52koenfairly efficient
19:16.54jncor not pick it up
19:17.08koenyes
19:17.20jncthere's several hundred bugs that are not ever picked up
19:17.22CoreDump|homethat is the whole point
19:18.55jncbugs that are picked up, often are not re-assigned
19:19.06koenwithin your boundaries, you work on what you want
19:19.15jncthis makes it very difficult to figure out which bugs are not being worked on

19:20.26koens/tome/time/
19:20.26jncthat's all well in good, but if i want to work on bugs that haven't been touched in a while, there's a basic flaw in trying to search for a bug that is neglected
19:20.26CoreDump|homerob_w: heh indeed
19:20.54jncin that a bug which is neglected, looks exactly like a bug that is being actively worked on
19:21.10jnc(the flaw is that people tend to not assign bugs to themselves)
19:21.13koena bug that's actively worked on has fresh comments
19:21.45jncthe bug tickets are not discussion forums
19:21.54jncthat's what the ML is for, yes?
19:22.00koennot quite
19:22.32koenwhen you work on a bug you can put your progress in the comments
19:23.20jncyeah so if you're going to the trouble of putting your progress in the comments, that's a big if...   only you and a couple other devs seem to do this,  okay given that.  why not assign the bug to yourself if you're working on it?
19:23.50jncmy apologies are due if i offended you by assigning bugs you were actively working on to, you.
19:23.54koenbecause I might have worked on it during coffee break and leave it alone after that
19:25.21emtei agree with koen, assignments should only be used durring an active action state
19:25.58emteassigning something to someone who may not look at it for a year is useless when someone else who may like to fix the proplem now is willing to do it

19:26.40emtepeople by nature will not reassign themselves a task
19:26.51jncexactly my point
19:26.54rob_wwhen will the oz354fam083 be merged back to dev ?
19:26.57jncit's always assigned to oe@handhelds.org
19:27.02emtewould you willingly assign yourself all the glibc tasks open?
19:27.15CoreDump|homerob_w: never
19:27.18jncemte: yes, if i had an understanding of who liked to work on what
19:27.25rob_wah
19:27.43emteand there inlines the problem
19:27.51rob_wso all apps need to move to  oz354fam083 ?
19:28.04jncright now though, if no one assigns themself bugs, then it's completely unclear who has worked on what
19:28.09emteif there were dedicates devs to a specific issue auto assigning may make sense
19:28.14emtededicated*
19:28.15CoreDump|homerob_w: hmm? all apps are aleady in 3.5.4
19:28.17jncexcept through monotone log, and that only shows devs with access to commit
19:28.29TheMasterMind1regardless of the inefficiencies of the bug tracking system, untested unused patches are considered cruft and there is no sense in adding them to the tree. once they're tested and modified to atleast build, if not work, they can be added with the other files required to make the whole thing function. that way you can revert that one change instead removing multiple commits at different points by different peo
19:28.29TheMasterMind1ple
19:28.30CoreDump|homenew apps should not be added
19:28.48jncTheMasterMind1: thanks :)    i see that now
19:28.51rob_wCoreDump|home, ? hmm
19:29.01emtejnc, unassigned means that it is open to anyone who wishes to take it, or if it is fixed while fixing something else all the better
19:29.03rob_wCoreDump|home, where do those go then ?
19:29.25CoreDump|homerob_w: you got something wrong here ;)
19:29.45CoreDump|home3.5.4 is the stable branch, only bugfixes allowed (more or less)
19:29.58Ifaistosis this declared in OE ? ->  ${CONFIG_SITE}
19:30.02CoreDump|home.dev is the HEAD branch where development is continued
19:31.03jncit's a lot of duplication.   all bugzilla function is verbosely duplicated on the mailing list, the mailing list kind of spills off into bugzilla tickets, and the monotone log only shows devs who have commit access and (invariably) are committing to solve bugs still assigned to oe@handhelds.org,  so it's all confusing to me how exactly people are supposed to do their workflow and not get yelled at

19:33.52rob_wit felt to me that people keep working on the oz354 one and i found myself running into issues whith .dev ,, so they then told me that these fixes are in .oz354
19:34.12jnctrying to sort out the defconfig situation for linux-openzaurus-2.6.16 kernel and angstrom-2006.9
19:34.34jncthe defconfig is not distro specific at the moment
19:34.55jncangstrom requires EABI function, other distros do not
19:35.32koenjnc: you can run an EABI kernel on a non-EABI rootfs when you have the oldabi compats bits set
19:35.43koenjnc: angstrom only requires that for ARM cpus
19:35.47jncah
19:36.06koenhowever, you do need an EABI toolchain to compile an EABI kernel
19:36.17jnchmm.  that sounds okay
19:36.42koenso you need a seperate defconfig for eabi
19:36.42jncwould you suggest it might work to have defconfig-cxx00 default to AEABI features being built?

19:37.11koeneg packages/linux/linux-openzaurus-2.6.16/linux-eabi/defconfig-cxx00

19:37.28jncs/cahing/chain/
19:37.32mickey|writingI'd rather have it decide at buildtime by the kernels that support EABI
19:37.43mickey|writingi.e. if TARGET_ABI = "EABI"

19:45.24jncthink i could commit them to .dev?   i'll be around to revert if people complain.   it's just substituting type 'int' for type 'int_t' making it work on 64-bit and 32-bit compile hosts equally
19:45.54jncthe other way around actually,  it does s/int/int_t/
19:45.55emtejnc, why dont you test and append?

19:47.21jncoh no i got the english wrong
19:47.51emteyou can still test and replace
19:47.53jnci meant everywhere there is an 'int' being used wrongly, it should instead be fixed to use int_t
19:48.03jncnot all uses of 'int' are wrong
19:48.09emtethe same way my flag works
19:48.26emtejust use it where appropreate

19:48.42jncmy goal is not to add more crap to OE
19:48.53jncnot saying yours is crap, but mine would certainly be
19:48.54jnc=)
19:48.55emtekeeps compatability until all platforms can be verified
19:49.33jncit's not an OE problem, it's a bug in the uicmoc sources which can be fixed and made portable
19:49.33emtenot all hosts are intel or amd
19:50.20jncthe bugs list uicmoc-native and uicmoc3-native
19:50.20emteif it comes from upstream then it is an OE problem ...
19:50.45jncso yeah, i'm quite certain that build hosts will be ppc, amd, and intel
19:51.15emtethere are also a few arm build hosts that i know of around too ...
19:51.19JustinPemte: no, upstream can always have problems too
19:51.36JustinPemte: in fact, all of these 64-bit patches should be pushed upstream
19:51.40emteJustinP, correct, but until upstream fixes them it is an OE issue
19:51.42JustinPjnc: have you been on that?
19:52.04jncJustinP: i've tried with other packages
19:52.38jncJustinP: i'm sort of afraid to approach TT about anything at all.
19:52.40JustinPit would be best....unless we get them pushed upstream we're going to have maintenance fun when we update versions...

21:17.06TheMasterMind1so i create a DISTO/fstab with what i want correct?
21:17.18TheMasterMind1or is it MACHINE
21:17.37koen|tvgood question
21:17.38CoreDump|homeboth should work
21:17.41koen|tvI'd got for machine
21:18.04koen|tvs/got/go/
21:18.18CoreDump|homethat would be probably best.
21:18.44TheMasterMind1alright, thanks
21:18.49koen|tvmickeyl and I discussed the DISTRO override craziness at FOSDEM
21:19.44TheMasterMind1udev installs an init.d script which uses the --oknodo option with start-stop-daemon, but its not supported by busybox's start-stop-daemon
21:19.57koen|tvthat's a bug
21:20.27TheMasterMind1a bug with what? should the fix be a patch to the udev script or busybox
21:20.36koen|tvboth would be fine
21:20.44koen|tvI'd prefer a patch to busybox, though
21:21.07jncif you fix busybox, then it potentially fixes other packages.  it also may bloat busybox (minor concern)
21:21.34CoreDump|homekoen|tv: there has to be _some_ reason we patched a bazillion initscripts instead of busybox
21:22.04koen|tvCoreDump|home: you would think that
21:22.10XorA|goneCoreDump|home: patch script 30s, patch busybox 30m

21:29.23BernardoXorA|gone: what happened?
21:29.55XorA|goneBernardo: on my Shuttle XPC if I have anything plugged into usb on boot except my keyboard and mouse, it doesnt detect the CF reader
21:30.08jncXorA|gone: which linux kernel?
21:30.13jncor is that windows
21:30.23XorA|gonejnc: its a bug in the BIOS
21:30.31jncmaybe so
21:30.34jncwhich linux kernel?
21:30.51XorA|gonejnc: 2.6.15
21:31.00jnctry .16, some usb stuff was fixed
21:31.17XorA|gonejnc: its a bug in the BIOS
21:31.19jncare you using an usb hub?
21:31.42XorA|gonejnc: no
21:32.02jnci've got an Shuttle, and the card reader never seems to work. amd64
21:32.18jncone of the sn85g3 i think
21:32.50XorA|gonejnc: Ive got V1 of that board, probably fixed in later revs, it also doesnt occur if you have ps2 keyboard
21:33.29XorA|gonejnc: if you have a PS2 keyboard disable USB keyboard and mouse in BIOS and that should fix it
21:33.35jncXorA|gone: did people report the problem you're experiencing for something other than Linux?
21:33.42*** part/#oe Harlekin (n=max@p54919753.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
21:33.50XorA|gonejnc: yes, it happens in windows as well
21:33.55jncah okay
21:34.03jnci wonder if that's fixable
21:34.17XorA|gonejnc: and was all over the forums 2 years ago when I bought the shuttle
21:34.55XorA|gonejnc: BTW is your shuttle unstable in linux, or is it just the overhearing problem on V1 board I see
21:35.36jnci have no troubles with noise or overheating
21:35.44jncit's the most reliable PC i have ever owned
21:36.10jncusing the cpufreqd to scale down the CPU when not used helps
21:36.17TheMasterMind1on bootup i see many modprobe pnp:XXX failed errors. how can i find out what modules it wants?
21:36.30XorA|gonejnc: I think its just a V1 board fault, again it was all over the forums
21:37.40XorA|goneanyway I need to reboot to get cardreader working
21:37.44koenTheMasterMind1: try 'logread'
