No, but I'd love to hear how it works. Is Angstrom anywhere near approaching stable?


Nowhere near stable. No major issue (suspend/resume bug, corrupted screen etc) was resolved in the recent months. Tosa also becomes unsupported in Angstrom. I've also heard people in the mailing list complain about unusable altboot and corrupted keymap in the recent images. I don't have any time to test though.

What does this mean? Is it useless to try testing unless one is a dev?

It means nobody is working on fixing tosa bugs - I've switched back to openzaurus. As far as tosa goes, Angstrom is unusable crap and apparently always will be.

BTW- don't get on the angstrom mailing list - the unsubscribe doesn't work and I keep getting spammed with angstrom mail.

Hmm a shame the support for the SL-6000 has dropped.
Well then I have to try OpenZaurus also or pdaXrom...

It sais:

QUOTE
These machines are not supported: tosa (6000), collie (5500), akita (1000).

We will continue to produce images for the unsupported machines but fixes to them are likely to be slow in being worked on without active developer working on them.


It will be done but slow. Ok...

I read the news there, which is why I know tosa isn't being worked on. It says "no developer is working on them".

The last image I tried was ridden with show-stopping bugs (can't suspend/resume, for example). going to bugs.openembedded.org and searching for "tosa" shows a screen full of bugs that have been "NEW" for at least a year.

OpenZaurus is history. PdaXrom hasn't updated 6000 images in a long time (beta1, I think) though what is there works.
Honestly I'd think about going with a tetsu kernel on sharprom and running pdaXqt.

We can assign them all to you if you think "NEW" is so offensive.

Is there still any value to your team for folks to test the Tosa images and report the bugs? Or would it be better to wait for a dev to be assigned?

That's what we encourage people to do, provided that 'reporting bugs' means putting them in the bugtracker.

Done.

First bug (reported first at the bugtracker) is the updater.sh.tosa script is not downloadable.

OK...files have changed, thus the instructions have changed. I have updated the tosa install wiki to reflect this.

I installed Angstrom on my tosa and it seemed to work fine. However, none of the ipks I downloaded unstable/armv5te/base/ works for me. I used package manager and it just popped up an error message saying:
QUOTE
An error occured.
Please consult the message log for hints what went wrong.

I have no clue what went wrong and where to check message log.
In the system info -> log display -> System Log, I got:

Can't find circular buffer, is syslog running?

Is syslog running? You could try starting it manually and try again.
