[opensuse-arm] Status of Raspberry Pi for openSUSE
by Dirk Stöcker 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hallo, for half a year we're trying now to get openSUSE working on Raspberry Pi and still no success. The normal images don't build and the replacement image from http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi works, but is ARM5 and thus does not work together with any project in the OBS, as these are all ARM6. On OBS it seems impossible to build anything from ARM5 anymore. So in my eyes the state is: - a non-standard image can be installed and works, but it is impossible to build packages for it. - all packages build in OBS are for ARM6, but can't be used, as I have no image to start from. Is there anything I overlook? How do I use Raspberry Pi with openSUSE and especially with the chance to build own packages for it?

[opensuse-arm] Problems with Parted
by Alberto Lopez 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hi all, I installed parted on a fresh install on a RasPi using zypper. The version in the armv5tel repository is 2.4-29.1. This version has a bug as I was trying to make a new partition on the SD card to expand the free space after copying the image to the card using dd. The following text is from the output trying to make a new primary partition: (parted) mkpart primary 29744,0,0 60503,3,31 You found a bug in GNU Parted! Here's what you have to do: Don't panic! The bug has most likely not affected any of your data. Help us to fix this bug by doing the following: Check whether the bug has already been fixed by checking the last version of GNU Parted that you can find at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/ Please check this version prior to bug reporting. If this has not been fixed yet or if you don't know how to check, please visit the GNU Parted website: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted for further information. Your report should contain the version of this release (2.4) along with the error message below, the output of parted DEVICE unit co print unit s print and the following history of commands you entered. Also include any additional information about your setup you consider important. Unable to determine the size and length of /dev/mmcblk0_part1. I went around this and installed from source v.3.11 but I had to solve for dependencies: util-linux-ng (which I had to install without ncurses even though it was already installed), termcap and readline. This last one crippled zypper, so I had to reinstall readline. My question is, why is it that the parted rpm in the repositories is not the latest one?

[opensuse-arm] Run current openSUSE ARM in QEMU?
by Andrey Borzenkov 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

I'm looking for a way to run one of current openSUSE in QEMU. I need real hardware emulation with U-Boot as I'm going to test grub2 for ARM port. Unfortunately I did not have much luck so far. I tried 12.2 for versatile express and it did initial boot but failed to reboot after that. On https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Arndale there are instructions how to run it in QEMU - unforutnately, the "Get a working guest kernel for versatile express" looks rather vague. Can I get it from OBS? Or build using OBS? Thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Problems with chkconfig on vsftpd, ddclient and apache2
by Alberto Lopez 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hello group, I have been configuring an RPi (model B) with OpenSuse distribution from the website (http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi) and I have encountered a couple of issues: 1) Difficulties with the automatic start (boot time) of the vsftp and apache2 daemons: I followed instructions to set it up for running at init levels 3 and 5 using chkconfig, and although it says it is running and is on for those two runlevels, when I do 'ps -ef grep apache2' it shows it in the off position ( /sbin/chkconfig --list apache2 ). The error showing up within /var/apache2/error_log when I manually start apache2 (/etc/init.d/apache2 start) is: [Fri Jul 26 03:40:54 2013] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: S SLSessionCache] [Fri Jul 26 03:40:54 2013] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin /suexec2) [Fri Jul 26 03:40:55 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Linux/SUSE) mod_ssl/2.2.22 Op enSSL/1.0.1e configured -- resuming normal operations there is no entry on the log at boot time, hence suggesting it is not even trying to turn it on automatically. 2) Problems with YaST2: I followed instructions to configure the RPi using yast, but when I run it the only thing I can see is 'Miscellaneous' on the left column. I quit that and then try bringing on the GUI by yast2 --qt or --gui too but then it brings me the same blue background yast window with the lonely 'Miscellaneous' menu. I even rebooted to see whether it would refresh it, but nothing. 3) Perl module IO-Socket-SSL : The perl script ddclient to refresh DHCP IP's with the dyn server requires the module IO-Socket-SSL, which is absent in the arm repositories. However, I found the module on a different place (no arch) and got it through wget, but when I tried installing it, it complained that compiling it with a different compiler from the openssl and perl rpms from the repository might introduce problems. Anyways, I installed it and ddclient still complaints about the same thing: 2013-07-26T20:29:22.769078+00:00 rdhm ddclient[1320]: FATAL: Error loading the Perl module IO::Socket::SSL needed for SSL connect. 2013-07-26T20:29:22.772692+00:00 rdhm ddclient[1320]: FATAL: On Debian, the package libio-socket-ssl-perl must be installed. 2013-07-26T20:29:22.777387+00:00 rdhm ddclient[1320]: FATAL: On Red Hat, the package perl-IO-Socket-SSL must be installed. 2013-07-26T20:29:23.801928+00:00 rdhm ddclient[1394]: Shutting down ddclient: ddclient is not running And this results in an inability to reach my dhcp-ed machine from the outside world. Any thoughts, comments and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks! Alberto - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Alberto M.

[opensuse-arm] Factory glibc fails building on ARMv6
by Alexander Graf 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi Andreas, The armv6l build of glibc failed: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory:ARM/glib… in [ 7467s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.17/cc-base/crypt/libowcrypt_pic.a(crypt_gensalt.os): In function `_crypt_gensalt_traditional_rn': [ 7467s] /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.17/crypt/crypt_gensalt.c:42: undefined reference to `__aeabi_read_tp' This looks pretty similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781765 which has this bug fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=557296&action=diff However, it seems like only the root cause is the same, not the effect of what we're seeing. Could you please quickly have a look at it? I'm sure you'll be able to fix it in 2 minutes ;). Thanks a lot!

[opensuse-arm] Facotry:ARM llvm fail
by Guillaume Gardet 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

Hi, llvm fail because it cannot apply a patch. I cannot fix it since when I branch it I get the devel project version, without the patch which need to be fixed (neon patch). See: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory:ARM/llvm Does anyone could fix it, please? Because lots of packages depends on LLVM.

[opensuse-arm] Notes from the team call
by Andrew Wafaa 04 Jul '13

04 Jul '13

Aloha, There were a few attendees on the call. * The call centred around requirements for ARM to be included in 13.1. * There is now only 1 Trello board being used[0], the AArch64 board has been closed. + A new list has been added for 13.1 + The board needs a tidy up. If people can update cards that would be great! * Plan is to release ARM alongside x86 on release day * Looking at having ARMv7 & ARMv8 support included in distro * Board support will potentially be smaller than what we targeted for 12.3 + This depends on how well TI device support remains upstream + Only upstream supported devices will be part of the official release, Contrib devices will continue * As 13.1 will be the base for SLE12, we *must* make sure all submissions are done in time. + All new features must be submitted as early as possible, fixes can be done after feature freeze.

[opensuse-arm] vexpress support
by Guillaume Gardet 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi, is there any reason that vexpress support is not in 12.3 ? In Factory, JeOS-vexpress/XFCE-vexpress is not supported by our pre-checkin script, so no updates occurs. We may just need to re-enable it, since it is useful to run openSUSE with qemu. Otherwise, we could maybe just use highbank image since it seems to be supported by qemu. But not sure what is the support of both in qemu. Guillaume -- 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:Factory:ARM:Contrib:* renamed to devel:ARM:Factory:Contrib:*

Hi, as a result of much improved Build Service security it was no longer possible to build signed packages in projects below openSUSE:Factory:ARM:.

[opensuse-arm] openSUSE factory kernels broken : Cubox and lpae
by Guillaume Gardet 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Hi, It would be nice to fix kernels Cubox and lpae because we cannot use kernel-syms otherwise (to build additional kernel modules for example). lpae fails just because no LOADADDR is provided and we want to build an uImage. I guess we could build a zImage instead. Otherwise what would be the value of LOADADDR? I can make a patch for this one and submit it to opensuse-kernel ML. For CuBox, we have to fix the mach-type file because we have no cubox in it whereas it is in http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/ (#3905) What would be the best way to update arch/arm/tools/mach-types file?
