I thought I did but I'm 95% sure I must have screwed up the symlink.  Checking it out now.


The link is there and it seems to be correct.  I'm totally at a loss.

EDIT: (after hours of reboot) somewhat aggravated too...
 

DOUBLE EDIT:  I reflashed and seem to have fixed the problem but now bt appears to be broken and everything I install quits because it can't find libstdc+ which is already installed... I've had enough for one night.

OK, I probably don't have time to make this work seamlessly enough for a semi-production ready build but just to show the possibilies that pivot_root can give here is a screenshot.

This isn't very stable at the moment.

*Update* It's significantly more stable now, going to live with it for a while

Thanks for pointings iamasmith ... just got it working and it seem stable enough now ... btw I still have lot of things to test on it and I'm now working on adding it to the pdaxrom-builder in order to produce a clean c3000 pivot_root image with a nice updater (just added HD utilities to the updater in order to resize partitions to full 4Gb and restore factory default... this may also work with c3100 but need beta testers and someone to tell me standard hd partitions of the c3100 so I can add a restore for it too )

debuging rc12 or porting beta1 is quite the same as my final objective is to add the c3000 branch to pdaxrom-builder ... My work is mainly working on the filestructure and how the OS can boot from a non standard layout as we can't use the standard c3000 rom layout ...

pivot_root is a mechanism permitting to switch the root partition during boot, so with this method we can have a minimal rootfs image in nand flash, and use the HD as the rootfs, pivoting from one to other during boot time. This way I can get rid of symlinks and libs problems I had until now (not speaking of /home space problems which you get quickly with my first beta, home being shrinked down to 4Mb)

Status update : My VMware image containing all my work got broken this morning so I have to restart from scratch (well ... I did have some backups but as I changed the method in the meantime and haven't backed up everything I had compiled ...there's a lot of work needing to be re-done)
Btw as I was working on the layout on another comp, at least I haven't lost everything so I may be able to produce a new beta to test my new updater script and to make some tests with the pivot_root mechanism as I don't have time to test/solve everything

Stay tuned for more news

(PS : this next beta build will be based on 1.1.0beta1)

Using xwd (as shown in the last line on screen in the terminal), this dumps in xwd format which GIMP will load, I then just re-save it as jpg.

You can also run it for a whole screen capture from an ssh session using..

xwd -display :0 -root > myscreendump.xwd
