| 02:06.28 | joshin | howdy |
| 02:08.14 | xvts | hey |
| 02:08.55 | xvts | so im new to the project, trying to fingure out which way is up |
| 02:09.41 | joshin | Well, are you in the Northern or Southern hemisphere? |
| 02:09.56 | xvts | i have a slug with an older version of openslug... would like get more involved in the nuts and bolts of development |
| 02:10.02 | xvts | Nothern |
| 02:10.08 | xvts | northern |
| 02:10.51 | joshin | Then your up is here : ^ |

| 02:12.11 | joshin | This is a developer's channel so if you're building OpenSlug, ask away. General questions should go to #nslu2-general |
| 02:12.33 | xvts | i see |
| 02:13.05 | ptan | Hi, can I ask anyone a quick question on building openslug-3.10 from the tarball? |
| 02:13.12 | joshin | Ask!~ |
| 02:14.06 | ptan | I downloaded the tar and I'm trying to do a 'make openslug-distro' and I'm running into the following errors: |
| 02:14.20 | ptan | ERROR: function do_compile failed |
| 02:14.20 | ptan | ERROR: see log in /home/slugdev/slugos-3.10-beta/openslug-nslu2.tmp/work/glibc-2.3.5+cvs20050627-r6/temp/log.do_compile.5997 |

| 02:14.38 | ptan | This is being done on a debian-etch machine. |
| 02:14.53 | joshin | What is the error in the file? |
| 02:15.10 | ptan | hang on... let me get it. |
| 02:15.26 | joshin | And I'd recommend that you just do a "make slugosbe" or "make openslug" |
| 02:15.38 | joshin | You probably want a newer version than 3.10 |
| 02:17.04 | ptan | arggghhh.. never mind... my bad... 'df' shows my disk full. |
| 02:17.45 | ptan | I tried to build a newer version using the master makefile, but I could not get the image to work |
| 02:17.47 | joshin | :) |
| 02:17.57 | ptan | with the pl2303 USB/RS232 serial. |
| 02:18.01 | joshin | I love the easy questions! |
| 02:18.21 | ptan | do you know if there are any problems with the latest build and the USB/RS232 serial? |
| 02:18.24 | joshin | The newer versions of openslug are much better. |
| 02:18.33 | joshin | I don't know of any problems with it. |
| 02:18.47 | joshin | I don't know of any successes with it either. No experience... |
| 02:20.13 | ptan | when I built the system from the master makefile to get the latest openslug build, I found that the ipkg for the kernel-module-pl2303 was tagged for .19 kernel, but the latest build gave me the .20 kernel. |
| 02:20.45 | joshin | There was some flux in kernel versions. The kernel is now a .20 one. |
| 02:20.47 | ptan | I've never built kernel modules before, so I'm trying to figure out how to rebuild the kernel-module-pl2303 |
| 02:20.51 | ptan | do you have any hints? |
| 02:20.56 | mwester | ptan: if you build your own kernel, you must use the kernel-modules that are built along with your kernel. |
| 02:21.00 | joshin | See if it is in your ipkg directory |
| 02:21.17 | ptan | I could not find a .20 version in the ipkg directory. |
| 02:21.36 | ptan | ipkg install gave me the .19 version. |
| 02:22.11 | mwester | kernel-module-pl2303_2.6.20-r3.686_ixp4xxbe.ipk |
| 02:22.29 | mwester | That's what's in my ipk directory after building the latest openslug version... |
| 02:22.46 | ptan | ok, I'll try rebuilding it again and see if I can find it. |
| 02:23.06 | joshin | ptan: If you haven't done any customizations, you may just want to nuke the tmp directory, update, and rebuild. |
| 02:23.23 | joshin | It may also free up a goodly amount of disk space. ;) |
| 02:24.12 | ptan | I'll give that a try. Thanks! |
| 02:26.47 | joshin | Good luck! |
| 02:28.11 | rwhitby | ptan: there was a short period in time when the kernel build was bad and produced wrongly versioned modules - you must have been unlucky and hit that. |
| 02:28.18 | rwhitby | nuke tmp and start again is the easiest. |
| 02:28.42 | ptan | That's probably what happened. I'm nuking tmp and trying it again right now. |
| 02:29.16 | rwhitby | but be prepared for a major upheaval in a couple of days time. |
| 02:30.05 | joshin | And that is why I have 2 slugs... :) |
| 02:31.03 | ptan | lol... |
| 02:32.04 | ptan | I'm the mentor for a FIRST robotics team, I'm helping them using a slug for their robot as a co-processor |
| 02:32.25 | ptan | I've got 1 week to help them get a stable platform before the competition. |
| 02:32.47 | ptan | so hopefully I can get a stable build today ;) |
| 02:32.48 | joshin | Neat. The slug is a good starting point for computing. I know a bunch of people using the gumstix for robotics. |
| 02:34.29 | kolla | the question is.. when will the house cleaning robot finally be here? :) |
| 02:34.41 | joshin | That is called a wife. :) |
| 02:34.46 | ptan | lol.. |
| 02:34.50 | kolla | ;) |
| 02:36.34 | kolla | problem with wife is that they're not cost effective :) |
| 02:36.59 | *** join/#openslug rwhitby (n=rwhitby@nslu2-linux/rwhitby) |
| 02:37.02 | kolla | and they make lots of noise too, I've heard |
| 02:43.12 | joshin | Yeah. They are pretty expensive. And replacing them is REALLY expensive. |
| 02:50.06 | kolla | :) |
| 02:50.18 | kolla | no refund, huh? |
| 02:52.06 | rwhitby | ptan: if you want a stable platform, you should use the 3.10 release. unless you need something from the later version. |
| 02:52.27 | rwhitby | slugos head is in a state of flux at the moment, and it will only get worse over the next week. |
| 02:52.55 | rwhitby | make openslug-3.10-beta should work if you have enough disk space. |
| 03:33.07 | ptan | rwhitby: My problem is that I have an issue with the pl2303 driver |
| 03:33.26 | ptan | It seems to be dropping characters on a test system. |
| 03:33.53 | ptan | (I have two USB/Serial adapters connected to each other with a null modem cable) |
| 03:34.13 | ptan | Even using minicom on both ports, I have characters being dropped. |
| 03:34.34 | ptan | (this is on the 3.10-beta) |
| 03:35.00 | rwhitby | ok, what's on HEAD right now should build fine, but my next checkin later today or tomorrow will be a big change. |
| 03:35.05 | ptan | searching google, I find that earlier pl2303 drivers had similar problems. |
| 03:35.35 | ptan | I'll try to grab everything right now and build with what I've got. |
| 03:44.31 | ptan | Do you guys know if there is an easy way that I can just rebuild the kernel-module-pl2303 just for the 3.10 build but with some modifications to the source code if needed? |
| 03:45.27 | ptan | I have the RH9 version of the code that is supposed to work. |
| 03:45.45 | ptan | so I was going to compare it with the existing versions on the Openslug |
| 03:55.51 | rwhitby | ptan: ok, if you end up with a patch required, just let us know and we can add it to the standard build. |
| 03:56.24 | ptan | I'll be sure to let you guys know. |

| 09:06.56 | rwhitby | in fact, unless it is nslu2-linux-distro specific, we should discuss getting uclibc to build in OE things in #oe |
