[opensuse-arm] cubox-i / leap 42.3: problems with automatic module loading after upgrade
by Miklos Vajna 13 Apr '19

13 Apr '19

Hi, Just asking if this is only me or it's a wider problem: I recently updated my cubox-i with zypper, pulling in kernel-default-4.4.114, and after reboot the box boots, but several drivers are missing, so there is no wired ethernet, no mmcblk, etc. After booting and waiting for a while, dmesg starts to complain about driver detection did not finish in time (sadly I don't have the backtrace at hand, it already went out of the buffer of the serial console). For now I worked around the problem this way: - download the repo-oss (ie. non-update) kernel-default-4.4.76 rpm on an other machine, copied it to an usb stick - install the old kernel-default from the usb stick - copy the /boot from the root fs to the usb stick - use the other machine to update the /boot on the mmcblk device where u-boot reads it So is this only me or do other cubox-i users see the same? Thanks, Miklos

[opensuse-arm] How to debug Grub config
by Matwey V. Kornilov 04 Oct '18

04 Oct '18

Hello, I am (stilL) trying to boot openSUSE on Rock64. I use JeOS image from Contrib:Rockchip and manually built bootloader (with 0001-XXX-openSUSE-XXX-Prepend-partition-.patch). And currently I see the following new issue: mmc1 is current device Scanning mmc 1:2... 52462 bytes read in 43 ms (1.2 MiB/s) Failed to mount ext2 filesystem... ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** Scanning mmc 1:1... Found EFI removable media binary efi/boot/bootaa64.efi reading efi/boot/bootaa64.efi 1247744 bytes read in 58 ms (20.5 MiB/s) ## Starting EFI application at 02000000 ... Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 10 Scanning disk rksdmmc(a)ff520000.blk... Scanning disk rksdmmc(a)ff500000.blk... Found 2 disks Welcome to GRUB! ethernet@ff540000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT ! Could not initialize PHY ethernet@ff540000 GNU GRUB version 2.02 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub> I see that both dtb file and EFI GRUB executable are loaded. But instead of GRUB menu I see GRUB command line. I suppose it means that grub failed to fetch GRUB configuration. How could I debug further what is wrong? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Support for Banana Pi M64
by Freek de Kruijf 22 Sep '18

22 Sep '18

I experienced problems with the 1GB memory of the Raspberry Pi 3, so I went to a Banana Pi M64, which has almost the same specifications as the RPi3, except it has 2 GB memory, and it uses a slightly different CPU. I even found an image to run openSUSE Tumbleweed on it from a year ago. The image used the same repository as the repository for the RPi3 (aarch64). However upgrading to a newer version of Tumbleweed failed. As far as I could see the only issue is a slightly different kernel and boot system. Currently I am trying to implement my services on it using Debian Stretch. I would very much like to use openSUSE on it, because I am more familiar with it. Debian is quite different, both in managing packages as in configuration of the services. If I can be of assistance in implementing openSUSE on a Banana Pi M64 I am quite willing to do that. Don't know if I have the necessary knowledge. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-arm] Cubieboard2 versions 2012+2015
by Volker Kuhlmann 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

There are 2 different cubieboard2 versions: http://dl.cubieboard.org/model/CubieBoard2/ The 2012 one has nand flash, or TSD flash but I expect that's uncommen. The 2015 one has EMMC or TSD flash, nand flash versions don't exist, and a battery for a RTC. Apparently the EMMC and TSD versions are interchangeable, and that flash behaves like an SD card. http://dl.cubieboard.org/model/CubieBoard2/CubieBoard2-20151211-EMMC/Docs/L… Has anyone tested openSUSE on a 2015 version of cubieboard2? Or is the JeOS image for the 2012 version? Or both?

Hi, is there any chance that the Tumbleweed repo will be getting updates soon? The current release for both armv6hl and armv7hl is "openSUSE Tumbleweed 20180622".

[opensuse-arm] ARM repos
by Volker Kuhlmann 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

Leap 15.0 ARM comes preconfigured with a list of repositories that can be added in yast. Unfortunately, they're all the x86_64 ones. Which repos can I use for ARM systems - is there a list somewhere? And is it separate for leap, factory, tumbleweed? Looking at e.g. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/security, ARM architecure building is only enabled for factory_ARM. I'm looking for some packages for leap 15.0. Am I supposed to use the factory packages, or how can I get leap packages?

[opensuse-arm] ChromeOS, Crostini and ARM64
by Bill Merriam 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus which as a Rockchip 3399 processor. It now has Crostini which lets me run Linux distributions in containers. https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/ Naturally I want to run openSUSE. These folks have lots of containers, including openSUSE but not openSUSE for ARM64. https://uk.images.linuxcontainers.org/ https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/ Does anybody know to get or make an ARM64 openSUSE container suitable for Crostini?

[opensuse-arm] Which packages for yast2?
by Volker Kuhlmann 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Which packages do I have to install on a JeOS image to get the yast2 GUI? It's not yast2-x11, and yast2-control-center-qt wants to install 195 packages and 325MB - really? Surely the yast GUI doesn't need ghostscript, gstreamer, graphviz, a whole pile of languages I couldn't possibly understand, mozilla-nspr and more mozilla stuff, or parallel-printer-support, when yast TUI doesn't need all that??

How to continue? Download the Leap 42.3 ISO (or the Tumbleweed ISO, or the Leap 15.0 ISO)? All installations made with kernel command line "modprobe.blacklist=vc4", as recommended. Started with TW ISO on USB key: openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-aarch64-Snapshot20180622.iso - Installation starts, left me with a black background and a white mouse-cursor when switching to graphical part. Leap 15.0: openSUSE-Leap-15.0-DVD-aarch64-Build124.1.iso - dto. Leap 42.3: - openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-aarch64-Build0200-Media.iso Installation process starts, but wants to prepare the USB key (itself) for installation instead of mmcblk0 (sd card). Trying to adapt the partition scheme from USB0 -> mmc with expert setting fails (system hanging)! How to go on? Any help appreciated!

[opensuse-arm] Chromebook Snow progress?
by Daniel Bischof 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi, I regularly fetch the latest Chromebook JeOS images via --- osc getbinaries openSUSE:Factory:ARM:Live JeOS:JeOS-chromebook images armv7l --- and test them on my Chromebook. The images still fail to boot for me ("Starting Kernel", then black screen forever), but since openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-chromebook.armv7l-2018.07.23-Build1.1 there are messages that Grub is loading and a splash screen just like on x86_64. The Leap 15 JeOS image doesn't boot either. It is still unclear to me, why the Chromebook images fail. I saw U-Boot patches regarding MMC mode and device tree blob files, not sure whether these are relevant for my issues. Is somebody out there, who's successfully running the openSUSE armv7l port on Snow? ChromeOS updates are no longer available for Snow, so running an alternative OS is more desireable than ever...
