[opensuse-arm] Latest 13.1 JeOS image for Chromebook broken
by Daniel Bischof 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, the image openSUSE-13.1-ARM-JeOS-chromebook.armv7l-1.12.1-Build15.1 from [1] is broken. It does not even show a bootloader prompt or something, the Chromebook just falls back to the white screen (the one that expects Ctrl-U to boot from SD). Something I could try? [1] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/13.1:/Contrib:/Chrome… Best regards, --D.B. -- Daniel Bischof <suse-bugz(a)bischof.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] 13.1 & neon?
by Michal Hrusecky 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi, today I tried upgrading openSUSE on my tablet (Tegra2) from 12.3 to 13.1 and I ended up with invalid instruction errors just after update of glibc. My guess is that glibc was compiled with neon support enabled. Was there any decision to drop non-neon devices or is it simply a bug? Is it just glibc that has neon enabled or everything? I know that for 32bits we have two glibc packages, maybe something similar would be possible for armv7? -- Michal Hrusecky <Michal(a)Hrusecky.net> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] arm board recommendation?
by Ludwig Nussel 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi, I'm looking for a small inexpensive ARM board that has a few digital inputs (for buttons/switches) and a few digital outputs (for LEDs). Fast USB 2.0 or even 3.0 ports would be good to have too. It's meant to be headless, so gfx doesn't matter. It should obviously run openSUSE :-) Are there any recommendations? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] OpenSUSE 13.1 for armv7 upgrade
by G. Heim 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi all, OpenSUSE 13.1 for PC just came out. I understood that there will be an armv7 version. Is that correct? And if so, when and where can I find it? What is the (preferably easy) way to upgrade my existing 12.3 to 13.1 (by not reinstalling everything)? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Thanks to Andrew and Guillaume
by Bob 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Thank you for your helpful replies. I was able to get both midori and chromium working on my chromebook. I am wondering what level of commitment there is (resources especially) to make openSUSE a real working system for the general linux user. I can't help but compare what we have now with Chrubuntu which is fully fleshed out with applications. I would love to help, but I am a somewhat outdated computer scientist (rusty at low-level programming) recently retired but keeping up with linux as best I can. I have used openSUSE on my desktop for years and like it. I wish success in your endeavors and will follow your progress with interest.

[opensuse-arm] kiwi - FAT support problem
by Guillaume Gardet 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi Marcus, now OBS is able to build our Raspberry Pi image, I tested again Raspberry Pi image and it still does not boot due to FAT partition problem. I thought you fixed it, but apparently not. (using kiwi 5.05.44 in 13.1:Ports). If I resize FAT partition with YaST partitionner from 200 MB to 196 MB or less, it does boot. Moreover, raspberrypi-firmware package has bootinclude flag set to true but files ending with *.dat are missing from BOOT partition. Is there any filter for such a file?

Hi Dirk, Hi Alex, kiwi in 13.1:Ports needs to be updated since it does not copy DTB files which are in /boot/dtb/ folder. Could you copypac latest kiwi to 13.1:Ports, please?

[opensuse-arm] Finding Typical openSUSE Applications for ARM computers
by Bob 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

I hope that this mailing list is appropriate for my question. If not, I apologize for the bother. I have successfully installed openSUSE 12.3 on my Samsung Series 3 ARM Chromebook. However, I cannot find the many applications that one would expect in an openSUSE release, for example mozilla firefox, or libreoffice. I have explored the urls around http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/12.3/ and have "googled" extensively, but could not find complete applications of the type I am seeking. Is it expected that one must locate source code for these applications and build them for oneself or are there repositories already in existence that I simply could not find? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bob Bernstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] u-boot 2013.04 fixed for pandaboard
by Guillaume Gardet 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi Dirk, Hi Alex, I managed to fix OMAP4 pandaboard MLO (u-boot SPL). Please accept SR#207990 to Base:System project and copypac it 13.1:Ports It tried to boot in raw mode, instead of FAT/EXT2 mode for OMAP4 boards. We still need to update to 2013.10 more or less quickly to fully support Device Tree, but we could start with this one for now. I also updated u-boot to 2013.10 locally but I am missing sunxi patch for 2013.10. Dirk, where did you get this patch?

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE 12.3 Cubieboard image with the latest kernel
by Fuminobu TAKEYAMA 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi all, I successfully created a Cubieboard disk image for openSUSE 12.3 JeOS. You can find it here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ftake:cubieboard/JeOS-cubieboa… It is my first working Cubieboard image for openSUSE because the image found in HCL:CubieBoard always hangs up on my board. As far as I tested quickly, MMC, Ethernet, and SATA are working! To build it, I made a patch from the repository introduced in the next post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux-sunxi/QTOAvp7_H_U and add the patch to the kernel package from the kernel:HEAD project. I am not sure, but if you give different dtb file in the boot script, the image may work on the other sunxi boards such as Cubieboard2, whose dtb file are included in the image. Have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-arm] OBS build kernel setup for 13.1:Ports in factory
by Adrian Schröter 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hi, you may have read that are able to solve some build problems now by using a VM kernel comming the build repositories directly. I like to continue on this route to solve even more problems, so my proposal is for: 13.1 armv6l and 13.1 aarch64: - I like to build a kernel-obs-build as part of openSUSE:13.1:Ports so all Contrib projects and kiwi builds inside of 13.1:Ports are using the kernel and avoid the missing module problems esp. for kiwi images. => It would be just a repackage kernel-default x86_64 from 13.1 Do I have a GO to configure that? factory arvm6l and aarch64: - no change for now, wait for a generic solution in factory for all architectures. armv7l 13.1 and factory: - we do a native build here inside of KVM. Unfortunatly we need at least one special guest kernel for the workers. This code is also unlikely to get merged with official SUSE kernels. Currently this is only working, because the armv7 worker have patched build script. But that means it breaks on every other OBS instance and will break with future OBS developments. So I like to switch to the new build script mechanism by building a armv7l guest kernel inside of openSUSE:13.1:Ports and openSUSE:Factory:ARM for armv7l only and use that one. I heard that we may need different kernels even for the guest for different hardware boards. We do not have a mechanism for that yet. But is that really needed? -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Contribute wih OpenSUSE for Raspberry Pi
by Sergio Fernández Cordero 13 Dec '13

13 Dec '13

Hello list, My name is Sergio Fernandez , I am personally interested in helping with the development of the image and OpenSuSE repositories for Raspberry Pi , since I have a project for a specialized desktop computer based on these two components. I have seen that there is only unofficial images for Raspberry Pi, by SuSE decisions. I've also seen that everything is a bit chaotic and therefore funny :) And I'd like to participate. I have several years administering Linux systems , I´m familiar with SuSE enterprise systems, and packaged for RPM distributions such as Mandriva and Mageia (and of course RHEL). Don't know how SUSE buildsystem works, but come with the intention to learn. I downloaded an image from Bernhard repository and I launched my Rpi. I've done some modifications and configurations and, works well . But I need more integration and stability and I want collaborate to do it for everyone. So where I can start? What to read , where to search ... Regards P.S.: Sorry for my English. Not so proper. -- ------------------------- Sergio Fernandez Cordero -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org
