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"
-
does anyone knows where the "ts_open" is ? you must have it... where it is ?
-
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
?
-
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 ...
-
it run so well when you run it only once
-
No, I ran it twice.
-
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.
-
No, I ran it twice.
so visit your /etc/rc.local and your /etc/hosts ;p
-
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...
-
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.
-
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 ?

if you find tell me !

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 ?

for getting back to the console, you can always do :
sudo chvt 1 (or chvt [123456] )
-
Oh yes, root. Just like when using other OSs on the Z. I am no paranoid.
Frankly I haven't tried X in $USER yet.

Thanks! But i still don't like gdm for its not so small overhead.

i remember login with $USER was working just perfect with debian OABI but with xdm loaded...
i don't understand why that does not work with EABI ....
-
cd /afterinstall/packages && dpkg -i xserver* xst*
xdm -> fails.
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev it install me the whole xorg .... like yesterday under OABI
xdm : still not working.... GOD !
-
i don't know for you, but for me, i think it's one of the biggest bug i have ever seen ! be OBLIGE to do X stuff on root ! i mean WTF ! what a security lack ! Plus we're on pocket station... which are doomed to be bluetoothed + irda attaqued .... and wifi... and more...
that's not credible
please, would you know where i can feel in a bug report for that ?
-
ok... i find a way.
let me investigate it a little, but it works... i have to define what packages it needs, and what are obsoletes... tell you in less than 10 min
-
1 hour an a half later....
ok folks, i tried the best i can, i had to remove almost everything in order not to have package that you wouldn't have (...)
well do that :
apt-get install xdm
cd /usr/bin
mv X X.OLD
ln -s Xfbdev X
chmod 2755 Xfbdev
then, you can launch xdm, and log into X as $USER
-
j'ajoute a cela :
allez visiter :
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources ligne 84 : Chooser*geometry: mettez une geometry qui tient sur l'ecran d'un zaurus (640x480)
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup --> xrandr -o right et si vous voulez ..... Esetroot ~/wallpaper.jpg
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers ligne 35 : ajoutez a la fin, comme dans nos ~/.xserverrc -fp /usr/share..../misc
et d'autres trucs bien entendu... chacun configure son linux a sa sauce
bonne soiree/journee !
-
oops ! sorry !
and then , go visit :
/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources ligne 84 : Chooser*geometry: (put a geometry that fitt on zaurus' screen)
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup --> xrandr -o right and, if you want : Esetroot ~/cool_pix.jpg
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers ligne 35 : add in the end, the same as in our ~/.serverrc " -fp /usr/share/.../misc "
and more... and more .... everybody do the way he feels !
have a nice day !

yeah! merci! oh i mean thanks
i'll try that right after i'm (really) awaken

jpmatrix : so ? no majors issues ?
ZDevil : i think we should add the adduser $USER and then the above trick to be able de launch X with a $USER in your 2-cfg.sh process for the Q18 and for other install.
maybe you should add it in the wiki.
my point is that it would be a shame if debian-zaurus based machines become the source of linux-virus, because their users only work in root instead of $USER. i won't develop this idea, you probably understand what i mean. Once shouldn't work in root.

gotcha! i've done all you wrote and X seems it want to be launched with my $USER but :
when i login with my $USER i'm always enforced to change my password ! do you know how to disable that??

yep : login in, and change password while loggin
then, exit properly
then relog
oh, and btw...you can "man 5 shadow" it explains how to configure it.... be sure the date is well fix (apt-get install ntpdate && /usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org )
that should be fix

it works ! thanks ! i think my problem was date related as it kept asking me to change my password each time i login.
merci!
ps: to have the right time, i had to run dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and choose Europe/Paris
-
i wish i also add the right language too.... but apt-get install locales is broken :/
i didn't understand one thing : does it keep asking you for passwd ? or not ?
me, i first "apt-get install ntpdate" ... then loggued in user, change password , exit, and reloggue. since, it is fine.

wait, i try again...
...
it seems to be right now !
just a little problem, the xdm box with ask for the password is too far on the left
-
as i told in a precedent post....
visit /etc/X11/xdm/* (/etc/X11/xdm/Xresources maybe, i don't remember) .... and make the box fitt your screen

yeah yeah i know i know i wanted you to give me the good setting
-
well, MY right settings are probably NOT same as YOUR right settings
that's what i like... do what I want, and not what the big developper (for exemple MS) wants...

well,
here are my settings. you forgot to say that Chooser*geometry is used for remote connections.
for local login, you should modify :
xlogin*geometry: 520x400+60+40 (in fact i added that line into /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources)
now the login box appears centered.
