[10:48] <voltagex> hi, I'm trying to use Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 but the touchscreen seems to be miscalibrated - I can't launch any apps as my touches don't register
[12:09] <fmoreau> hi. could anybody share a version of 'make_ext4fs' which supports device nodes ? thanks in advance
[12:13] <lilstevie> fmoreau, huh?
[12:16] <kulve> lilstevie: make_ext4fs doesn't seem to understand anything under /dev when creating a file system image
[12:16] <kulve> fmoreau: I also noticed that it might make all files owned by root (at least when run with sudo).
[12:16] <lilstevie> kulve, okay... why would you want to do that anyway
[12:16] <fmoreau> kulve: that's correct at least with the version I'm using
[12:17] <fmoreau> lilstevie: for /lib/udev/devices directory
[12:18] <fmoreau> kulve: I think latest version of make_ext4fs support device nodes. I can see this from the source code I downloaded
[12:19] <lilstevie> but why would you need that
[12:20] <fmoreau> lilstevie: as said some directories in my rootfs has device nodes, so I need to put them in my rootfs.img
[12:21] <fmoreau> /lib/udev/devices is an example
[12:21] <lilstevie> but why?
[12:21] <lilstevie> AFAIK all the required device nodes should be created by udev
[12:21] <fmoreau> all devs are created by udev statically in that dir
[12:22] <fmoreau> because the kernel doesn't report any events for them
[12:22] <lilstevie> uh
[12:23] <lilstevie> are you sure?
[12:25] <fmoreau> almost ;)
[12:26] <fmoreau> for a description of this directory: http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.udev.html#sec.udev.devdir
[12:26] <lilstevie> fmoreau, no, I mean that it is even used on the nexus 7
[12:26] <lilstevie> I know what it is for
[12:27] <fmoreau> well, until you use one of the static devs, then you shouldn't have any issues I guess
[12:28] <fmoreau> but since it's cleaner to put this directory in my rootfs...
[12:29] <lilstevie> that still should not need dev node support any more than the empty directory for /dev does
[12:30] <fmoreau> lilstevie: I agree for /dev/ but I'd like not make an image of my rootfs without the need to hack it.
[12:31] <fmoreau> does your version of make_ext4fs support dev nodes ?
[12:33] <fmoreau> bbl
[15:13] <infinity> robclark: Say, when you get a chance, want to make dri2test work with libnouveau2 on raring?
[19:21] <nikis> Yow, that was scary.
[19:21] <nikis> So my Nexus 7 decided not to boot up anymore, and show static lines going through the screen.
[19:21] <nikis> I thought it was done for.
[19:21] <nikis> Managed to fix it though :)
