[opensuse-arm] Raspberry Pi B+, No Revision or Serial?
by Evan McClain 11 Feb '15

Hi List, While setting up my new rpi B+, I noticed that my eth0's MAC address would change after each boot which was causing a new ip address to be issued by my router after every boot. I found this post roughly describing my issue: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=90975 My /proc/cpuinfo shows my Revision as 0000 (instead of 0010) and my Serial is also just 0s. Adding: program_serial_random=1 and program_board_rev=2 to Config.txt didn't fix the issue. Other raspberry pi distributions do show my Serial and Revision as expected, and eth0's MAC address isn't random. It appears that the command line doesn't get updated with the proper bcm2708.boardrev and bcm2708.serial (and possibly smsc95xx.macaddr) options. I have built an upstream kernel (3.18.0 branch) and that doesn't seem to help (I thought the default kernel may not be parsing the options). And I even tried updating the boot firmware to the raspberrypi's next branch with no impact. I'm not too familiar with opensuse's rpi boot process, but it looks fairly different from what I've seen on arch and raspbian (i.e. the vfat partition is used to start the boot.scr on the ext4's /boot directory). As this is my first rpi, I'm still trying to figure things out... Is it possible that the kernel parameters are not being passed properly when the kernel on the /boot/zImage is loaded? Also, do the previous pi revisions work or is this new to the B+? Or could this be an issue with the Factory port? Thanks -- Evan McClain /* No Comment */ https://keybase.io/aeroevan

Hi, Raspberry Friends and Supporters. I finally got the Build-Version36.2 installed with the help of the HCL-homepage. However I find some problems, which I will notify to you for any assistance, Problems will be detailed in separate mailings. Question 1: I would like to use the graphic mode by starting "startx" using an HDMI-Monitor. However the answer is: startx not found. How can I solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

[opensuse-arm] kwrite and kate packages missing for openSUSE 13.2 armv7hl
by Simon Gleissner 03 Feb '15

Hello, I have tried to install KDE and KDevelop for openSUSE 13.2 armv7hl, but the depending packages kate and kwrite are not included in the repository. I have used http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/suse/… . According to https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:13.2 , the armv7l build for kate is 'unresolvable', but kwrite is neither listed at 'succeded', nor anywhere else. Any chance that this might change? Greetings, Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org
