14:35.53prpplaguejbevren: the purpose of a "sacrifice" is to lose something of value

16:24.45prpplaguesjhill: ok so, #uclibc is strictly for uclibc, not buildroot?

16:26.04prpplaguesjhill: i was told that #uclibc was for buildroot as well
16:26.11Siegsame here
16:26.18prpplaguesjhill: why is busybox in the topic?
16:26.36prpplaguesjhill: oh well, doesn't matter
16:26.38Siegespecially since some of the devs are there
16:26.57Siegand had answered me before :\
16:27.31sjhillwith the heavy changes going into uclibc these days, we kind of need to keep it clear i think
16:28.07Siegsjhill: so you're part of the project I guess then
16:28.16sjhillunderstatement
16:28.25Siegproject leader?
16:28.28prpplaguesjhill: ok, so looks like you and andersee are the only two we can talk with?
16:28.43sjhillprpplague: for buildroot?
16:28.47sjhilli would hope not

16:29.56sjhillCosmicPenguin: are you copying that linux article with the quiet quad opteron?
16:30.10CosmicPenguinwhich one?
16:30.17Sieghi! if I built a successful bootable compact flash, shouldn't a dd image copy the boot sector as well? I'm trying to clone the flash and the new one just isn't bootable :\
16:30.21sjhillit was the Ultimate Linux box a few months ago
16:30.30Siegand now if I chroot into the new image to try and run grub manually, I get "/sbin/grub, no such file or directory". Yet ls /sbin/grub shows the file is there indeed
16:30.44prpplagueSieg: hehe, i'm pretty sure most everyone here is using OE
16:30.52SiegOE?

16:39.50CosmicPenguinheh
16:40.01m4lu7i'm 1/2 way through my 3rd scotch (tapped the 18 year), so don't mind me.
16:40.08CosmicPenguinI cleaned my office the other day, and packed away my PDAs, but I left my tuxscreen out to remind me of my roots
16:40.15fileI'm just here for the people myself
16:40.23fileandersee: I'm sorta doing that

16:40.30fileI leave tomorrow night for a 17 hour train ride
16:40.43prpplagueandersee: and it seems to be an issue with discussing them there soooooo
16:40.43filebut I'm a geek so I have my cell with CDMA1X and bluetooth and a Powerbook...
16:41.42anderseeprpplague: you can always ask me directly.  Heck, for you, you can even call.  :-)
16:41.49prpplaguehehe
16:41.53prpplagueandersee: thanks
16:41.58T0mWfile: 17hour train ride, is that like to prison or something?
16:42.25fileto another province in Canada
16:42.30T0mWfile: I thought they banned torture
16:42.37prpplagueandersee: main issue for me at the momment is that the target/generic/target_skeleton/usr/share/terminfo directories contain binaries
16:42.41fileit was $210 CAD versus $680 CAD
16:43.00fileand, like, I'm cheap
16:43.06T0mWfile: plus the invasive body search at the airport
16:43.08prpplagueandersee: shouldn't these be generated and not checked in like that?
16:43.11anderseeprpplague: are you working with the buildroot.uclibc.org or with the tuxscreen one?
16:43.22prpplagueandersee: buildroot.uclibc.org
16:45.23prpplagueandersee: http://tinyurl.com/c3jfo
16:46.18anderseeprpplague: that is odd
16:46.37prpplagueandersee: its also in the AMD au1500 skeleton dir as well
16:46.42anderseeprpplague: those are supposed to be generated by package/ncurses/ncurses.mk

16:55.05prpplaguekergoth: cool didn't know he had something new out
16:56.31anderseeprpplague: I also just checked in rev 12151.  Seems there was yet another copy of the binary pre-built terminfo stuff lurking deep in the bowels of buildroot.
16:56.49anderseeprpplague: yep, that would be me.
16:57.03CosmicPenguinhttp://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?edc=848818
16:57.13prpplagueandersee: ok, i'm submitting a patch to add a Sharp lh79520 based board
16:58.53anderseeprpplague: cool
16:59.16anderseeprpplague: btw, I got cross-depmod working (regardless of target endianness)
16:59.36*** mode/#elinux [+v CosmicPenguin] by ChanServ
16:59.42anderseeprpplague: so despite the fact I havn't coverted all cases in buildroot, you shouldn't used depmod.pl anymore
17:01.18anderseeprpplague: should have the kernel target depend on cross-depmod and simply use 'make install'
17:01.23anderseeprpplague: with DEPMOD=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/$(GNU_TARGET_NAME)-depmod
17:01.53anderseebut first, some breakfast
17:01.56andersee:)
17:02.00prpplagueandersee: yea, my initial kernel build doesn't use any modules, so i've not used the depmod.pl yet

17:07.53prpplagueandersee: ok next question
17:08.19prpplagueandersee: patches inside buildroot should be compressed or not?
17:16.18*** join/#elinux _dario (n=dario@d83-176-15-27.cust.tele2.it)
17:17.13prpplague_dario: what kind of problem
17:17.38anderseeprpplague: only if the patches are big
17:18.06_darioWhen I'm booting my sistem it the serial console doesn't work
17:18.31prpplague_dario: might help to provide us some information about your system
17:18.49prpplagueandersee: ok, well i have the patch submitted without compressed patches
17:18.58_dariouclibc + busybox compiled for an arm9 system. That's all.
17:18.59prpplagueandersee: looks like the au1500 dir uses compressed
17:19.39prpplague_dario: do you get information from your arm bootloader?
17:20.29_darioThe kernel boots and it founds also the rfs. All is ok since I have an lcd display which displays the login correctly.
17:21.09prpplague_dario: so do you know for sure that the serial port works?
17:22.22_darioYes. For sure.
17:22.28*** part/#elinux thraxisp|away (n=thraxisp@ottgate.precidia.com)
17:22.47_darioThis becouse I can see the kernel output via the serial port.
17:22.52prpplague_dario: what does the line with the getty in /etc/inittab look like?
17:22.58_dario::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAM0 115200 vt100
17:23.16_dariomy serial device is, in fact, ttyAM0.
17:23.28prpplague_dario: and /dev/ttyAM0 exists?
17:24.01prpplagueandersee: hehe bummer my patch didn't attach to the report as it was bigger than 512k,
17:24.30prpplagueandersee: guess i'll have to do it in two patches
17:24.31_darioEhmm.. No :-P
17:24.46_darioSo I should create it with mknod
17:24.54_darioRight?
17:26.23_darioDamn.. It was so easy.. I forgot I'm not dealing with a udev system :-P
17:26.42prpplague_dario: yes you will need to have that device inorder for it to work
17:26.59_darioMany many thanks :-)
17:27.03prpplague_dario: you can modify the device_list.txt file to add the device during the build process
17:27.13_darioGoing to reboot my arm9 system :-)  ...
17:27.56_darioGreat hint, prpplague!
17:27.59_darioThanks!
17:28.21prpplague_dario: if you are running a ramdisk image the device will have to be in the ramdisk, a reboot will erase the node
17:29.14_darioThere shouldn't be this problem..
17:29.35_darioBusybox + uclibc really rocks!
17:31.10prpplague_dario: yep
17:31.23_darioToday I built a linux system in 7.5 Mb
17:31.37_darioBut I can also delete the header files :-)
17:34.26_darioCan I suggest adding this IRC channel in http://www.busybox.net/FAQ.html ?
17:34.30prpplagueandersee: hmm, i guess i'm gonna have to email you this patch, there is no way i can get it down below 512k

17:47.59anderseeprpplague: got it
17:48.04anderseeprpplague: will review shortly
17:48.13prpplagueandersee: thanks
17:48.45prpplagueandersee: i'd like to write up a doc with some basic rules for adding new devices
17:51.59prpplagueandersee: next question
17:52.19prpplagueandersee: the buildroot now just asks for the arch type, in this case just "arm"
17:52.34prpplagueandersee: but uclibc has builds for several different arm types
17:53.07prpplagueandersee: shouldn't we add a sub option to the arm config to set the type?
17:53.29prpplagueandersee: as well as the endianesse ?
18:15.19anderseeprpplague: probably so
18:15.55anderseeprpplague: I've left those unspecified (so buildroot prompts) since I've never gotten around to adding such options
18:16.23anderseeprpplague: but specifying those for arches that swing both ways, like arm and mips, would be a good idea
18:16.35andersee:-)
18:18.51prpplagueandersee: testing now
18:20.34CosmicPenguinits been literally three years since I've touched that stuff
18:22.28anderseeCosmicPenguin: it is still limping along?
18:22.47anderseehasn't greg long since lost interest?
18:23.01CosmicPenguinnah, he's still plugging away
18:23.18CosmicPenguinnano-x just can't compete with stuff like Twin
18:23.28CosmicPenguinThe future is in vector based drawing
18:24.35anderseeCosmicPenguin: vectors are for wimp.  The future is in tensor drawing.

20:12.36anderseechouimat: howdy
20:12.52prpplaguechouimat: curious though, the uclibc config doesn't give an option for the arm7tdmi
20:13.09chouimatprpplague: hmmm
20:14.03prpplagueoops that was for andersee
20:14.12prpplagueandersee: curious though, the uclibc config doesn't give an option for the arm7tdmi
20:14.27chouimatprpplague: I was starting to wonder why you told me this ... probably the sun :)
20:14.27anderseeprpplague: it should...
20:21.34prpplagueandersee: i guess you would probably need to use the generic_arm option

21:08.45CosmicPenguinI don't know whats funnier - the dailywtf or the comments
21:09.00CosmicPenguinfull of people that have gone down a horribly wrong path in their computer careers and try to justify their decisions

21:11.59prpplaguesome of the comments
21:12.18CosmicPenguinof course, if I was a java developer, I would be in a state of denial too

22:42.04BeBrAhi! I'm testing my first image with busybox and I've a problem with getty: I can't login, because I have no prompt for login
22:42.15BeBrA<PROTECTED>
22:42.27jbevrenheh. my initial tests always had no inittab
22:42.32jbevrenthat way it'll spawn an askfirst shell :P
22:43.27jbevrentry without an inittab, it should do an askfirst shell on tty1
22:43.35jbevrenor an rc script
22:44.19BeBrAjust remove inittab?
22:44.35jbevrenmy test setup was just a busybox install, no rcS or inittab
22:44.48jbevrenbusybox will spawn as /sbin/init, and do a shell on tty1
22:45.08jbevrenI do that on one of my laptops for mp3 playback btw.. linux in initramfs with a mp3 player.
22:45.15jbevrenload mp3s to ram, shut the laptop mostly off, and play :)
22:46.10BeBrAI'm going to modify image and booting on qemu
22:46.34jbevrenheh. I've been arguing with bochs recently to get something of a compaq firmware update
22:46.37jbevrenI did finally get it out
22:48.29BeBrAhmmm
22:48.50BeBrAinittab removed and again no shell...
22:49.10BeBrAhmmm there's still rcS
22:51.48BeBrAI think I also need to test oe... do you know if it can generate bootable images?
22:52.34BeBrAit's very tricky how I get this image from ptxdist
23:01.36CosmicPenguinOE has no trouble generating bootable images

23:16.58BeBrAhmm ok, bb asks to activate console, but tell me /bin/sh dows not exists...
23:17.17BeBrAis it enough to create symlink ?
23:17.20jbevrendid you build a shell? heh
23:17.27BeBrAthere's ash
23:17.41jbevrennormally if you build a shell into busybox, it'll launch as sh.  A link should work
23:19.24T0mWwhew, 1226 drills (holes) on this PCB
23:19.41T0mWthat's a lot of via's
23:19.51jbevrendo you do your own vias?
23:19.57jbevrenor do you ahve the pcb's made
23:20.33T0mWha! I have 4pcb.com do my boards, I won't mess up my house, clothing, countertops, ... with chemicals anymore
23:21.10T0mWthey do a much better job at working with 0.010" traces and 0.007" spacing
23:21.22jbevrenheh
23:21.23jbevrenI bet :P
23:21.48T0mWbtdt, I used to have a laser printer and used that press-n-peel stuff
23:21.51BeBrAhmmm where d o Isetup busybox to use sh? on default shell i can only choose between ash, hush, lash and msh
23:22.13T0mWBeBrA: then, that is all you got
23:22.20jbevrenas I said, if you build -a- shell, it should launch as sh :)
23:22.36BeBrAhmm probably i just need to enable "Standalone shell"?
23:22.44jbevrenthat'll help
23:23.32BeBrArecompiling again ;)
23:25.03T0mWjbevren: now to run up Win98 and use gcprevue
23:25.05T0mW:(
23:25.15jbevrenwin98? gah. :)
23:25.37T0mWall tools for linux to view gerbers cost $$$, the win98 stuff is free
23:25.45jbevrenI should um do something other than sit in the same chair Ive been in since 8am
23:25.55jbevrendoesnt pcb read gerbers?
23:26.04T0mWpcb?
23:26.38jbevrenpcb - printed circuit board (pcb) design program
23:26.42jbevrendebian's apt cache has it
23:26.54jbevrenhm
23:27.01jbevrenit can 'provide .. gerber output'
23:27.03jbevrenwonder if it can read it
23:27.23jbevrenanyway, check it out.  I dont like the UI much myself though
23:27.28jbevrenI'm off to do something different :)
23:27.31jbevrenenjoy the eve
23:30.00T0mWjbevren: not usually, you don't want to use the same program that produced the gerbers to view them.  Good to get "another opinion"
23:30.36T0mWjbevren: early versions of OrCAD would do that, fsck up the viewing of the gerber
23:34.22BeBrAdo you know where I can get a 40 pin (male or female) ide adapter to *male* 44 pin IDE
