2.6.23.1-eabi Uboot, install from wiki Q18 Options

[flux]

i'm starting this topic because after thinking, all we talk about this subject in the thread "xorg user" as no-sense

to resume (before arriving at the actuals problems) :

uboot + debian eabi = install ok if follow the wiki

1-cfg.sh : bugs that might be corrected now

2-cfg.sh : pb :
when we arrive at the stage :
ts_calibrate
ts_open no such file or directory
i'm still trying to understand it ... the only thing i change, was "icewm + icewm-experimental + icewm-gnome-support" by "fluxbox"

[flux]

does anyone knows where the "ts_open" is ? you must have it... where it is ?

[jpmatrix]

does anyone knows where the "ts_open" is ? you must have it... where it is ?

it seems ts_calibrate cannot open the ts device
can you report :

env|grep TSLIB

?

[flux]

nothing

Just install EABI on my C860.
Ran 1st-cfg.sh.
There are two bugs:
1) The first implementation of extracting the afterinstall tarball is redundant, as it has already been extracted.
2) "cp hwclock.rules ..." should be "cp settings/hwclock.rules ..."

Also perhaps one more boot is preferred to let the hwclock.rules to take effect.

but otherwise the script runs so well!
So I guess the rest of the error flux got may be due to a faulty download/extraction or manual fiddling.

Now try the 2nd-cfg.sh ...

[flux]

it run so well when you run it only once

[ZDevil]

No, I ran it twice.

[flux]

thx !!!

i don't konw why, in my .profile, there is an "export TS...."
and as i said, i don't know why it was used.... i "exit" then login ... and that's good.

[flux]

No, I ran it twice.

so visit your /etc/rc.local and your /etc/hosts ;p

[flux]

now.... UBOOT \o/

does anyone knows where, when i'm in emergency-mode of uboot (or in an other place ?) should i tell "/dev/hda1" to "1" in order not to have to press "2" during boot process ?
i'm looking in uboot.sf.net doc... but it's huge... if someone has a clue...

[ZDevil]

No, I ran it twice.

so visit your /etc/rc.local and your /etc/hosts ;p

Those things don't do much harm, at least don't stop me to boot and run the 2nd-cfg.sh...

Now apt-get dist-upgrading...
I will report if I also run into issue of ts_calibrate.

[flux]

new problem !
it is deja vu...

root : startx -> no pb
user : startx -> no way, server as to be suid (and when i chmod 4755, it doesn't work neither.)

apt-get install xdm
xdm -> nothing append

apt-get install gdm : it wants to install me gdm + all xorg + (.....) --> 45 Mo of package....

so my question : how do start your favorite WM on $USER ?

Install 2or0's X-related packages (inside the afterall/packages directory).
You can try to run the things in 2nd-cfg.sh chunck by chunk. The script is basically helping users to install loads of things.
I don't use xdm or gdm; they just get in the way and block me from getting back to the console.

your working as root ? or with the x-related packages of afterall, you're able to "startx" as $USER ?
