02:09.22 | AzzIzzA | depends on your settings, some versions of nfs expect connections to come from privledged ports, in that case im not sure that users in fstab will be enough |
02:10.25 | seth1248 | NAbyss: user in fstab options made no difference. |
02:10.55 | NAbyss | seth1248: You might have to setup a shellscript and allow users to sudo it |
02:12.26 | AzzIzzA | seth1248: im sure its possible but i dont know how off the top of my head, if the zaurus is the client and its unlikely you will get evil hackers on it, i would be tempted to make mount suid |
02:19.39 | summatusmentis | I had X forwarding working like, a week ago, and then last night it would tell me that it couldn't find the display |
02:19.52 | summatusmentis | I'm trying to forward apps from the Z to my laptop |

02:20.46 | summatusmentis | any suggestions? the X11DisplayOffset is set to 10, and uncommented in sshd_config |
02:24.10 | seth1248 | How do I make mount suid? |
02:25.07 | summatusmentis | isnt' it just an option in fstab? |
02:25.11 | NAbyss | chmod u+s `which mount` |
02:27.27 | AzzIzzA | seth1248: just make sure you understand the security issues with using suid |

20:24.14 | kantlivelong | RP: yeah i trust everyones coding.. i just worry that the batt will overcharge because this light never turns off |
20:24.37 | RP | kantlivelong: It should be checking the temperature... |
20:25.07 | kantlivelong | RP: are the temp/batt levels in /proc? |

20:26.10 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : hey, we all started off as newbs...:) |
20:26.12 | RP | kantlivelong: there is debug in the kernel you can turn on |
20:26.29 | kantlivelong | im dev a newb w/ OE related things... thats for sure |
20:26.43 | kantlivelong | RP: any docs explaining how? |
20:27.08 | RP | kantlivelong: Other than reading the source, no |
20:27.35 | kantlivelong | RP: ok.. well may i ask what i should to to monitor these values? |
20:28.12 | RP | kantlivelong: We have one active poodle kernel dev (me) and I'm a "bit" stretched :-( |
20:28.32 | RP | kantlivelong: I'd enable the debug in the kernel. This presumes you can recompile a kernel? |
20:28.49 | kantlivelong | RP: im not sure how to cross compile on gentoo |
20:29.21 | RP | kantlivelong: Use OE to build kernels |
20:29.27 | kantlivelong | oh? |
20:29.38 | kantlivelong | like i said OE newb here lol |

20:57.54 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong: start here: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted |
20:58.16 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: ah i completely overlooked that |
20:58.17 | kantlivelong | th |
20:58.18 | kantlivelong | x |
20:59.39 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : you might want to start in the .oz354 branch for now...It's pretty stable and that is what the current releases are based on. |
21:00.01 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: would that be 2.6? |
21:00.05 | hvontres|poodle | the .dev branch can be pretty bleeding edge... havn't tried it myself in a while. |
21:00.23 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : yes. for everything but collie (5500)... |
21:00.30 | kantlivelong | ight |
21:01.17 | kantlivelong | bitbake a compiler? |
21:02.18 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : sort of... it's a bunch of python scripts that take the recipies (.bb files) and configure the env for propper compiling and packaging... |
21:03.08 | hvontres|poodle | when you have it set up right you can just bitbake <distro-image> and walk away...depending on your hardware for a long while :) |
21:03.32 | kantlivelong | ah |
21:03.34 | kantlivelong | cool |
21:03.46 | kantlivelong | i doubt it will take too long |
21:04.27 | hvontres|poodle | the kernel, no..a whole opie-image took me 3 days... on a dual P-II 333. :) so if you have modern hw, it shouldn't be too bad. |
21:05.16 | kantlivelong | i dont plan on building opie/gpe |
21:05.48 | kantlivelong | can i use solaris to compile this? |
21:05.57 | kantlivelong | ive got a sun box i could do it w/ |
21:06.07 | kantlivelong | if SMP is supported |
21:07.23 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : not sure.. just kernel only takes me ~1 hr now. The first time through will be a bear tho...glibc takes forever.. |
21:07.47 | kantlivelong | ah |
21:07.48 | kantlivelong | ok |
21:07.59 | kantlivelong | can i compile the gpe package and not opie? |
21:09.26 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : sure...so far GPE on poodle hasn't been all theat great tho..It really needs more than 32MB of ram. |
21:09.50 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: i use a swapfile :) |
21:09.53 | hvontres|poodle | But with a 32-64 MB swapfile on SD, it at least runs, but kinda slow |
21:10.45 | kantlivelong | i just use fluxbox |
21:10.51 | kantlivelong | thats all i use GPE for |
21:11.17 | kantlivelong | dont need all the fancy GPEness |

23:18.26 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home: hmmm. |
23:18.38 | kantlivelong | ah |
23:19.28 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : The last rc worked ok on poodle at least |
23:21.03 | CoreDump|home | well, recent images "work" as well, sort of. Moving the rootfs to SD permanently would make working with them / for them a lot easier |
23:21.03 | kantlivelong | :) |
23:21.03 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: how u plan on doin that |
23:21.40 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : have you tried loopback images under 2.6 on poodle lately? |
23:21.59 | CoreDump|home | barebone jffs2 image to kickstart altboot, probably no option to boot into the flash image at all. Then the normal root-on-sd stuff |
23:22.10 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: nope |
23:22.15 | kantlivelong | i was debating ext2 loopbacks but i couldnt decide on them |
23:22.32 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : I was having problems a couple of months ago but haven't had a chance to dig deeper. |
23:22.34 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: hey im willing to help u test it |
23:22.52 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: i use the bootstrap just to boot sd.. so im willing to do it |
23:23.03 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: great =) I'll let you know when I get something up and running |
23:23.12 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: no prob.. |
23:23.46 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: I very rarely boot off SD or CF. I mostly boot off an NFS drive (which is almost the same) |
23:24.32 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: how fast is NFS boot? |
23:25.24 | CoreDump|home | well, not terribly fast =) But once the beast is booted, it is useable |
23:25.29 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: also may i ask.. im no sure on it... which kernel modules get loaded into mem.. the Int or the SD/CF |
23:26.21 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: I don't understand the question |
23:29.03 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: ok when booting... what path are the modules loaded from.. the internal memory or the rootfs? |
23:29.51 | kantlivelong | like if i were booting up altboot to use my SD.. would hostap be loaded from int or sd |
23:32.15 | seth1244 | Does anyone know if there are any plans of having nfs-server for openzaurus? |
23:34.01 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: ahh, the first few modules (like sound, or if req'ed network / IDE) are loaded from flash |
23:34.31 | CoreDump|home | seth1244: there should be a samba package available |
23:34.57 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: in your example hostap would be loaded from SD |
23:35.46 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: ok wat about alsa? |
23:36.21 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: ALSA is loaded from flash for the inital "beep" of altboot. |
23:36.28 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: would there be a way to skip the bootstrap and just go directly to a SD kernel? |
23:36.42 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: hmmmm |
23:36.58 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: with kernel 2.6 that *should* be possible, yes |
23:37.07 | CoreDump|home | so poodle: yeah, collie: nope |
23:37.10 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: should attempt it... |
23:37.30 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: you'd have to recompile the kernel for that |
23:37.47 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: yeah i figured.. im still trying to get bb to work... |
23:38.21 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: I made the experience that if one follows GettingStarted to the letter, the setup usually works fine |
23:38.24 | kantlivelong | im surprised its not possible to get lilo/grub to work |
23:38.29 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : So you think a minmal kernel+sd modules +kexec in flash |
23:38.45 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: i followed it completely.. its just an odd error |
23:38.49 | hvontres|poodle | kantlivelong : you can thank the kind folks at sharp for that |
23:38.51 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: not possible :\ |
23:38.55 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: yeah |
23:39.20 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: kantlivelong made the suggestion to rig the kernel to boot the SD card directly |
23:39.25 | kantlivelong | youd imagine someone installing a linux os on anything would have the brains for changing the BL or even the BL config |
23:40.29 | kantlivelong | very odd.. |
23:40.31 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : yeah, but how do you get the sharp bootloader to see the SD card? |
23:41.00 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: you dont.. a kernel from the nand would still boot.. but very minimal just to detect SD |
23:41.32 | kantlivelong | then if possible kexec and boot a kernel image from the SD |
23:41.43 | hvontres|poodle | like I said: kernel+sd+kexec ...:) |
23:41.50 | kantlivelong | yeah :) |
23:41.54 | CoreDump|home | the bootloader would boot the kernel, kernel uses SD for root |
23:42.06 | kantlivelong | yep |
23:42.07 | CoreDump|home | hvontres|poodle: there would be no kexec involved at all |
23:42.22 | kantlivelong | no need for even installing a FS on the nand then rite? |
23:42.29 | kantlivelong | as long as u build SD/CF directly |
23:42.30 | CoreDump|home | leaves the not-so-small problem of installing the OS |
23:42.41 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: correct |
23:43.28 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: but would it use the kernel on the nand? or would it then use a new one on the sd? |
23:43.28 | CoreDump|home | one could probably use / hack the spitz updater.sh along w/ gnutar |
23:43.48 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: there can only be one kernel, the one flashed into the NAND |
23:43.52 | hvontres|poodle | CoreDump|home : Otoh, 16MB leaves room for one hell of a Bootloader :) |
23:44.09 | CoreDump|home | =) |
23:44.19 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: thats the only thing i dun like.. id prefer being able to update the kernel often but not constantly flashing |
23:44.43 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: that is not possible w/ a Z |
23:44.59 | hvontres|poodle | not even with kexec? |
23:45.31 | kantlivelong | well i wasnt saying dont have a kernel on nand.. i was suggesting having one just for the sake of booting.. then using an updated on on sd via kexec as hvontres|poodle has said |
23:46.18 | kantlivelong | especially for devs it would be useful to do this.. as they must constantly write to nand... |
23:46.49 | kantlivelong | the kernel on nand would prolly never need an update... if so rarel |
23:46.50 | kantlivelong | y |
23:47.46 | CoreDump|home | that would be possible yes. Altboot can be hacking to do this kind of thing |
23:48.11 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: the prob w/ altboot is that you still need a filesystem to run altboot |
23:48.35 | kantlivelong | know what i mean? |
23:48.44 | CoreDump|home | yeah |
23:48.52 | CoreDump|home | well, can't kexec w/o FS :\ |
23:48.56 | kantlivelong | id rather use nearly 5% of the nand |
23:49.06 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: thats true.. |
23:49.32 | kantlivelong | CoreDump|home: well even the bootstrap install is large.. it has packages... rather bloated.. im sure it can be cut massively correct? |
23:50.17 | CoreDump|home | http://hentges.net/tmp/screenshots/Zaurus/Akita/Misc/essential-to-boot+wifi.jpg correct |
23:50.55 | kantlivelong | hmmm 404 |
23:51.55 | kantlivelong | still no go |
23:52.25 | kantlivelong | needed the www for some reason |
23:52.32 | kantlivelong | ippool must be outdated |
23:53.04 | kantlivelong | hmmm /home isnt needed.. /media/ram isnt needed |
23:53.11 | kantlivelong | whats /dev/.static/dev? |
23:53.18 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: udev |
23:53.31 | kantlivelong | 2udevs? |
23:53.42 | CoreDump|home | 4.5M rootfs w/ _full_ WIFI support |
23:53.43 | kantlivelong | or is this a 2.4 kernel running udev? |
23:53.59 | CoreDump|home | one udev on 2.6 |
23:54.04 | kantlivelong | ah |
23:54.09 | kantlivelong | shouldnt it just be /dev then? |
23:54.27 | CoreDump|home | uhh, dunno |
23:54.44 | kantlivelong | ive never heard of /dev/.static/dev... unless its something extra |
23:54.56 | CoreDump|home | anyway, you get the point. bootstrap *could* be shrunk a lot |
23:55.00 | kantlivelong | yeah |
23:55.02 | kantlivelong | i do |
23:55.13 | kantlivelong | i knew it could be |
23:55.21 | kantlivelong | hmm |
23:55.24 | kantlivelong | well |
23:55.29 | kantlivelong | we dont need ipkg |
23:55.37 | kantlivelong | wifi is debatable |
23:55.44 | *** join/#openzaurus hrw|gone (n=hrw@intranet.conecto.pl) |
23:55.45 | kantlivelong | only if u plan on doing NFS |
23:56.06 | CoreDump|home | w/o wifi you could get it down to *maybe* 3M |
23:56.17 | kantlivelong | smaller the better.. |
23:56.27 | kantlivelong | is the /dev here mounted on a ramfs? |
23:56.49 | CoreDump|home | tmpfs yes |
23:57.04 | kantlivelong | 10M is rather large... |
23:57.16 | kantlivelong | should be dropped to like 1M |
23:57.28 | kantlivelong | also may i ask what the /media/ram was ever for? |
23:57.42 | kantlivelong | hvontres|poodle: btw my charge light went off :) |
23:57.50 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: actually that doesn't matter since only the "used" space inside the tmpfs is actually taken |
23:58.21 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: left-over from collie *cough*, also some GPE stuff needs it |
23:58.24 | kantlivelong | ah yes thats right.. i keep thinking windows where it takes it completely.... (havent used windows in 3 years) |
23:59.07 | kantlivelong | im a very minimal person.. i hate seeing unused things... i acctually wish there was more of a plain X11 image.. |
23:59.32 | kantlivelong | know what i mean? |
23:59.50 | kantlivelong | im seeing bootstrap,opie,gpe,X11 as images... |
23:59.52 | CoreDump|home | kantlivelong: GPE can be hacked to be pretty much plain X |
