[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

Hi Dirk, Hi Alex, My patches are accepted in openSUSE GIT kernel repo so, we can get kernel update from Kernel:openSUSE-13.1 project to 13.1:Ports.

[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?

[opensuse-arm] kiwi in 13.1:Ports needs to be updated
by Guillaume Gardet 20 Dec '13

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
