zeorinHello, does anyone know how I could create my own armhf rootfs?16:32
ogra_`zeorin, you could start from an ubuntu-core tarball17:11
ogra_`aalternatively, install qemu-user-static and use qemu-debootstrap to create an armhf chroot17:12
zeorinI'm wary of the core install because the device I want to use it on doesn't have ethernet...17:36
zeorinIt's an Asus Transformer Prime17:37
zeorinI've got ubuntu running on it currently using instructions found here http://lifeinarootshell.blogspot.it/2013/03/howto.html17:37
zeorinbut after an update to 13.10 lightdm won't start, not authorized to connect to networks, unity (if using startx) is just a black screen except for the cursor, when I ran do-release-upgrade I had to prefix the command with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 because that wasn't set... Just problems all around... I figure a fresh install starting in saucy would be better17:39
zeorinI'm currently trying it with rootstock even though it's deprecated... It seems that live-build. is the recommended method nowadays... But there are no clear instructions on how to build an armhf saucy rootfs using that tool.... And obviously it's Xmas time, so family wants me around and I don't really have time right now to figure out exactly how to get out of that what I need17:40
zeorinIf you know of any clear instructions online somewhere that would be A+17:41
zeorinBTW, thanks for responding, I've asked several questions in this channel (even before the festive times), and even though there's many users logged in, no one has ever answered :)17:42
zeorinrootstock seemed to have failed, I can't find a qemu-debootstrap package17:51
infinityzeorin: What was wrong with using ubuntu-core, exactly?17:53
zeorinno wifi support included, afaik... If you know a way to add that after install then I would be happy :)17:54
infinityThe "LC_ALL=C.UTF-8" bit should be entirely unnecessary for an upgrade, unless you were just trying to avoid Perl being a bit verbose because you SSHed in from a machine that set a different locale.17:54
zeorinwell, you see it was necessary because the initial image and installation instructions I had never had it set... Also reconfiguring locales didn't help17:54
infinityNo, I mean it's was unnecessary.  As in, not necessary.  What made you think it was?17:55
zeorindo-release-upgrade would fail without it (indeed it was perl complaining), but I was doing this directly on the machine, not through ssh17:55
infinityperl complaining won't cause do-release-upgrade to fail.17:55
infinityIt's just annoyingly verbose warnings.17:55
infinityIf there's actually a problem with upgrading in LANG=C, we'd appreciate bug reports.17:56
zeorinIt would fail without it. I spent a whole day finding the LC_ALL fix...17:56
zeorinthe install is a bit of a hack because it used an armhf image initially created for AC100, a 12.04 image17:56
infinityForgive my skepticism, given that all the buildd chroots auto-upgrade all day long and run in LANG=C.17:56
zeorinIt's cool :)17:57
infinityBut yeah, the wireless thing is an issue.  I remember that when I had an ac100.17:57
infinityAnd I've also completely forgotten which special packages it wanted...17:57
infinityOh, right, crda17:58
zeorinhow would I get wireless support enabled after using core? I read something about grabbing the wifitools and wpa_supplicant packages and installing them manually after transferring them onto the device, but are those the only packages?17:58
infinityNo, you probably also want wireless-crda, crda, and all the packages they depend on.  Though, that depends on the kernel driver, not all of them need those.18:00
zeorinI think I'm way out of my depth here...18:01
zeorinit's a broadcom 4329 wifi+bluetooth chip18:01
iceroothi18:40
icerootdoes the arm version include ALL FOSS programs from the repos? if i got it correct only the non-free part like flash, skype and other stuff you dont want is missing18:41
icerootand if i got it correct, i can download all source-packages (which will result in the *all.deb) and rebuild them on arm with dpkg-buildpackage, right?18:44
