So I have finally bought it and at the moment I am going to play with it in its default mode (just browsing the web with Chrome, that is). In the future I'll be switching to dev mode and try to load the Slackware minimal rootfs in a chroot and see what happens. I don't think any of the modules or the firmware will be open-sourced, but who knows? I understand Chrome devices cannot (legally) boot any kernels that are not signed by Google so at the moment any attempt to run Slackware will be a cheap hack. Typing: chrome://system I get a lot of low level info (remember there's no full shell in standard mode.

About the only thing you lose by flipping the dev switch is Netflix. That site checks the switch setting and blocks access to dev mode users. I think they are afraid someone will hack their netflix.so file ;) Your comment about (legally) booting any kernels besides the ones signed by Google is a bit broad in scope. I believe you would void the warranty if you dual/triple boot, but Google is not going to be mad or anything. The chromium.org people are extremely helpful, and welcome people who want to hack the open source version of Chrome OS (Google's signed version). The OS mirrors the browser. Both have open source equivalents, and anyone is welcome to roll their own from the Chromium OS source tree. http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os Like I mentioned before, if you have questions about Chrome or Chromium OS, the best place to ask them is in the cros-discuss mailing list.

Apologies, I'm such as ass! I should have just unpacked it rather than install it with installpkg. Dependencies are satisfied now. I'll start working on the rest of the system.

(Yes, I know it's not elegant, but You wouldn't mount it, you'd just unpack it into a dir and chroot into it. You'd need to mount /proc, /sys and /dev into the chroot. I think you can use the bind option to mount: from mount(8): " The bind mounts. Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file hierarchy somewhere else. The call is mount --bind olddir newdir" So I think you can mount the chrome's /dev and so on into the dir into which you'll chroot.

I am working on writing a tutorial on how to run Slackware off a usb flash drive and I though that starting the installer on a 'foreign' distro would make things easier but obviously it doesn't. So the other solution is either rsyncing the slackware tree or unpacking the miniroot-fs and adding the remaining packages while in chroot.

Well, you could always create the symlink yourself and see if cpio happens to work? If not, you could try using the cpio from armedslack-13.37.

OK - it'll never work then as you cannot mix userland hard float with soft. I'm not sure what Mike is on about though regarding supporting ARM hard float. You don't "migrate away" to hard ware floating point, as then you cannot support the devices that do not have a hardware floating point unit. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org From louigi600 at yahoo.it Fri Nov 23 09:11:40 2012 From: louigi600 at yahoo.it (Davide) Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2012 09:11:40 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [ARMedslack] fltk In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1353661900.4501.YahooMailNeo@web29702.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Anyone know where to get an arm binary for fltk-1.1 that also works on Slackware ARM 14 ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm not sure how that'd work though (I'm not going to do it). _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack at lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I did the following: 1. reinstalled Doozans U-Boot to have a clean system to start 2. prepared an USB stick with sda1=boot, sda2=swap, sda3=rootfs 3. untared the Slackware ARM minirootfs to the correct places on the USB stick (slack-14.0-miniroot_27Sep12.tar.xz) 4. changed some U-Boot settings to match my USB stick (rootfs=sda3, ext4) But while booting the initrd system fails to mount the rootfs.

This is an interesting issue to me as I've got one, dehoused at the moment, since I was planning on attaching a serial cable to it before trying something else on it. Can you present (someplace) a complete series of instructions of exactly what you did to get as far as you did? Including the size of the stick that you used. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Exactly - if your WLAN is secured (most likely) then you'd need another service to help bring up the interface, so it doesn't seem that there's any value in adding this at boot. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org From ottavio2006-usenet2012 at yahoo.com Fri Nov 30 16:50:38 2012 From: ottavio2006-usenet2012 at yahoo.com (Ottavio Caruso) Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:50:38 +0000 Subject: [ARMedslack] Bringing mlan0 up at boot In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 30 November 2012 16:47, Stuart Winter wrote: > >> nic=auto:mlan0:dhcp >> >> or is this only worth for wired networking? >> >> Then I would have to use use wpa_supplicant to bring the network up anyway. > > Exactly - if your WLAN is secured (most likely) then you'd need another > service to help bring up the interface, so it doesn't seem that there's > any value in adding this at boot. > But would it bring mlan0 up anyway, instead of typing: ifconfig mlan0 up ? -- Ottavio From m-lists at biscuit.org.uk Fri Nov 30 17:18:32 2012 From: m-lists at biscuit.org.uk (Stuart Winter) Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:18:32 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [ARMedslack] Bringing mlan0 up at boot In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: > > Exactly - if your WLAN is secured (most likely) then you'd need another > > service to help bring up the interface, so it doesn't seem that there's > > any value in adding this at boot. > > > > But would it bring mlan0 up anyway, instead of typing: > ifconfig mlan0 up I don't think it'll make any difference since nothing in the Slackware rc scripts uses this - it's only the installer, as far as I can see. alienBOB added it some time ago to help speed up his own installations, IIRC.

Yes - try adding that. The fact that it worked with 13.37 doesn't really mean a lot, to be honest. 13.37 had a different version of busybox, a different version of udev, a different kernel; most likely containted a different set of modules. When I had a similar problem myself, I unpacked the kirkwood's initrd and put in the classic "print" statements into the init script to find out where it was broken.
