-----Original Message----- You complained about no browser and no email client in your Xfce Internet menu. I am telling you as an Xfce arm user, both are installable (and then show up there) if you actually look for them. The Xfce images are just as minimal as the JeOS images in that they do not contain the whole contents of an openSUSE x86 .iso image. Sorry if that hint on how to resolve the issue you complained about offends you. Andreas -----Original Message----- Hi Andreas, I followed the instructions from: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:ARMChromebook And at point 4) Download the latest image at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/12.3:/Contrib:/Chrome… and choose between: JeOS image (1GB) for a minimal system openSUSE-12.3-ARM-JeOS-chromebook-*.raw.xz or XFCE image (4GB) for a graphical system openSUSE-12.3-ARM-XFCE-chromebook-*.raw.xz I opted for the graphical image. Everyone who has been using suselinux, openSUSE, sles or sled knows how to install things. That's beside the point. If you opt for the "just enough" image, it's obvious that it is indeed just enough to install whatever you need/like. I just wanted to express my surprise that the "graphical system openSUSE-12.3-ARM-XFCE-chromebook-*.raw.xz" does include gimp and a softphone, while missing more essential parts. Could very well be a well thought of decision, no problems with that. Perhaps I was mislead by "XFCE image 4GB" and it might be wiser to rename it to: "Just enough X" When examining the size of the image (497MB), obviously not everything fits is there, though the name suggest a sort of "live arm image", just like the general openSUSE live (iso) images.... So absolutely no problem with that. Actually, what did worry me, was the amount of time needed to startup... At one point I feared that something was wrong with the image, despite the correct sha256 hash. Let me note that I transferred the image to an USB-stick, not a sd-disk. I don't expect something like the original OS, which is probably 200% tuned for turbo-startup. Any other experiences regarding chromebook startup time?

[opensuse-arm] Issues with Arndale

by Andrew Wafaa

Hi All, I've been contacted by a company that is trying to use openSUSE on the Arndale and have encountered an issue. It looks like for some reason the single zImage isn't supported.

[opensuse-arm] Demo of openSUSE on ARM

by Guillaume Gardet

Hi, We have an openSUSE booth at "Solutions Linux" [0] in 2 weeks and I would like to make some ARM demo. Of course, I will bring the Chromebook but I would like to make a demo of openstack on Arndale board (or another one) if it is feasible. Any kernel/software repo/image ready or not? If you have any suggestion to show some cool stuff, let me know! ;) Guillaume [0]: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Solutions_Linux_2013 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Building using native builders

by Andrew Wafaa

Hi, I'm trying to verify some build failures are not as a result of using qemu, but for the life of me I can't work out how to get things built on the arndales rather than the x86 hosts. I would build locally on my chromebook, but I appear to have forgotten how. Problem is I have three packages that I'm trying to build and one of those three is a dep for the others. What's the best way to go about it? How can one get projects to build using the native builders?

[opensuse-arm] New Arndale board - Exynos Octa 5410 (big.LITTLE arch)

by Guillaume Gardet

Hi, just for information, a new Arndale board is coming. See: http://www.howchip.com/shop/item.php?it_id=ARNOctaA It is based on an Exynos Octa 5410 with a big.LITTLE arch. No price yet, but seems very interesting. Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

If you read your message again, you did __NOT__ say *how* you installed xfce. On my AC100 I installed it from a JeOS rootfs via the regular openSUSE xfce pattern.

[opensuse-arm] chromebook

by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl

Hi, Just been playing with a chromebook. Looks great under xfce. Touchpad should be avoided: I guess I have to find an ordinary mouse somewhere. Also networkmanager worked OK! I was surprised to find gimp on it, but I didn't dare to start that beast up. What made me wonder, is that (at least from the xfce-menu-thingy) there is little under "Internet". I did see a voip-client, bit I missed any email-client or even a webbrowser. When your machine remains dual-bootable, one might say: switch back to chrome-OS, but in case you want the book to be single-boot with Gecko...... I presume my usb-stick isn't the fastest device, because start-up-time is, eh.. not for hasty people ;-))) Good work anyway! ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

[opensuse-arm] qemu package split

by Andreas Färber

Hi everyone, Ever since I've been involved with openSUSE, the qemu package has had an unusual setup of configuring and building twice: once for the regular binaries, then moving them to a temporary directory and finally configuring and building statically for the qemu-linux-user subpackage, used for arm chroot builds among others. In our quest to finally unify the kvm and qemu packages, I have updated the qemu package to 1.5.0 (SR#176307 pending for Factory) and have subsequently prepared to split the qemu.spec[.in] to build qemu-linux-user in a separate linked package similar to gcc or kernel: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/176308 AFAICS the RPM package name stays the same that way, so armv7/armv5el should hopefully be unaffected and the change transparent to end users. A nice side-effect is that we can limit the SLE_11_SP2 build breakage to qemu-linux-user package (BNC#820754: SLE_11_SP2 is missing a glibc maintenance update for static builds). Also the dependencies for qemu-linux-user get significantly less and no *-static deps for qemu. If I don't hear any objections, I'll accept the changed qemu package into Virtualization project later today and will setup qemu-linux-user package there. For Factory this is a heads-up that we will require to copy/setup the additional qemu-linux-user package once we've tidied up and submit the package split to Factory at some future point towards 13.1. Further 13.1 work still under discussion is to create further subpackages inside qemu so that the kvm package won't need to depend on mips etc. emulation binaries.
