[04:36] <ojn> Has someone already built and provided (official?) cross toolchains for arm in .deb format, or does everyone tend to prefer building their own?
[04:44] <[g2]> ojn: I've build the rootfs from scratch (see banner), then it's just and armel rootfs and the .debs are native
[07:57] <lool> ojn: AFAIK only emdebian provides some; I'd like this to change but didn't put much time in this project as of late
[12:31] <lvh> Hi!
[12:32] <lvh> I'm using rootstock to build an armel rootfs
[12:33] <lvh> Is it normal that I don't see anything after this line for 10+ minutes with no evidence of activity?
[12:33] <lvh> I: Switching to Virtual Machine for second stage processing
[12:35] <lvh> Gah!
[12:35] <lvh> Typical.
[12:35] <lvh> I ask for help and ten seconds later everything starts working :-D
[12:35] <lvh> Sorry to bother you ;-)
[13:37] <lool> lvh: It's terribly slow
[13:38] <lool> Due to use of qemu
[13:49] <lvh> lool: The one that worked was ubuntu not debian lenny
[14:24] <lvh> /bin/installer: line 28: locale-gen: command not found
[14:24] <lvh> /bin/installer: line 29: locale-gen: command not found
[14:24] <lvh> sed: can't read /etc/default/console-setup: No such file or directory
[14:24] <lvh> sed: can't read /etc/default/console-setup: No such file or directory
[14:24] <lvh> sed: can't read /etc/default/console-setup: No such file or directory
[14:24] <lvh> sed: can't read /etc/default/console-setup: No such file or directory
[14:25] <lvh> presumably that's a difference between Ubuntu and Debian :-)
[14:54] <lool> lvh: That's interesting; would you mind filing this as an upstream rootstock bug asking for Debian support?
[14:54] <lool> (Priority wishlist)
[14:55] <lool> I think it's an acceptable feature req
[14:55] <lvh> lool: well, there's an obvious problem
[14:55] <lvh> I forgot the -s list
[14:55] <lvh> (see #debian-arm on oftc)
[14:55] <lvh> that is: I'm figuring out how to proudce a --seed line
[14:55] <lvh> because dbian doesnt have base system metapackages
[14:56] <lvh> so we cant do something like -s ubuntu-minimal
[15:06] <lool> So actually ubuntu-minimal should'nt be the default that's all
[16:16] <ojn> [g2]: Yeah, I've definitely got that option but it's also convenient to at least do kernel builds on a faster machine. I'll spin my own, it would just have been convenient with a .deb. :)
[16:16] <ojn> lool: Thanks
[20:01] <lvh> hah
[20:01] <lvh> lool: building the rootfs was successful
[20:05] <lvh> lool: Fixed it sort of
[20:05] <lvh> lool: debian worked, but no sudo
[20:05] <lvh> and that script doesnt set a root pw
[20:05] <lvh> so
[20:05] <lvh> I can log in.... and I dont have root access ^^
[20:06] <lvh> <- idiot!
[21:13] <acoc> hey guys, I'm trying to get ubuntu on my sheevaplug and after creating the rootfs with the build-arm-rootfs script, my system hangs at starting kernel log daemon
[21:13] <acoc> the kernel I'm using is from http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/
[21:14] <acoc> 2.6.30.5
[21:16] <acoc> google says it might have something to do with ldap, but since I don't have it in /etc/nsswitch.conf I'm not sure if that pertains to me
[21:57] <yacoob> Hello there. Just wanted to ask, are there security updates for armel version of ubuntu?
[22:06] <acoc> ogra, I see you are the point of contact for the build-arm-rootfs script, not meaning to sound disrespectful, but is it still maintained?
[22:15] <lvh> bunch of commits just over a month ago
[22:15] <lvh> I'd say it is
[22:16] <lvh> don't fix what aint broken and all that
[22:18] <acoc> oops forgot people.canonical is launchpad
[22:19] <acoc> should have thought to just search his name
[22:20] <acoc> could you think of any reason why this rootfs wouldn't work for a newer kernel (2.6.30)?
[22:21] <lvh> wfm
[22:21] <lvh> Oh, wait, no
[22:21] <lvh> No, I can't think of anything. Sorry, old kernel here.
[22:21] <lvh> I use what works (linwizard)
[22:26] <lvh> for some strange reason this debian rootfs results in incredibly slow performance
[22:27] <lvh> compared to gizard/wing-linux
[22:27] <lvh> I'm not sure why
