Run the following: echo $USER
sdjf
Hi everyone, I'll try to answer everyones thoughts here, first sdjf:
the C1000 did nothing to this command.:
echo $USERroot )
Are you typing all this every time or working with a script to automate the parts you are sure of?
yes, typing each command.
Speculatrix, you mention the command :
id -athis just gives an error in PdaXii13 with no output.
sdjf, you write again:
Please show the results. If it is a kernel thing, it should be fixable somehow.
right, here is all the results from the new kernel config:
first of all several screenshots from running;
make menuconfigand the resulting
.config file:
replace
.tar with
.txt this is a text file not a tar file.
here is my extended, compiled 2.4.20 1.3Mb kernel for you all to try:
remove the
.tar from the end, this is a
zImage file. install it with the following file:
[ Invalid Attachment ]
rename to
updater.shput this
updater.sh file and the above
zImage file into the root of a CF or an SD card and do a full reset, then
flash the kernel, once the kernel is flashed, the computer will ask you to reboot.
the Computer will now boot with the new kernel.
with this Kernel configuration, dhclient runs, but it does not aquire an DHCP assigned IP address still. also:
iwconfig rausb0 ap 00:45:AC:4C:BB:89still does not list the AP's MAC address when afterwards we do:
iwconfigneither does rausb0 fetch the MAC address of the AP off the air, and even though the kernel image is now 1.3Mb in size,
thats 100,000 bytes more than usual, we still are hitting a brick wall.
dhcpcd rausb0also yields no results, but only brings the Wifi interface down.
Ah! Pelrun, typing:
whoamithe C1000 outputs:
rootroot )so, does this mean that we no longer need to type :
sudo X whatevercommand ?
speculatrix, you wrote:
ping the gateway and look at the arp table ("arp -an") or find the arp file in /proc/sys/net (something like that ) which gets populated when you ping the gateway.
alas a good idea mate, but, pinging is useless if you have not got an IP address of your own to start with, therefore:
arp -anreturns nothing.
OK, the C1000 is still sorely lacking USB Wifi connectivity, so, please, please , please keep those thoughts rolling in here, I want to
see if we can make this OS the best EVER for the C1000.
thanks to everyone who has contributed so far, do you have any more ideas ?
