[coLinux-devel] snapshot 20040417

[Dan A. <da...@co...>]

Hello,

Note about the swapoff fix (actually flush_tlb_all()). I've also 
included more modules -- of course you'd have to extract that big 
(600KB) vmlinux-modules.tar.gz to your filesystem images.

Current list of changes since 0.6.0:

  * Added the ability to send Ctrl-Alt-Del to the Linux machine.
  * Linux patch updated to 2.4.26	
  * Linux port (for systems running kernel 2.6.x)
  * Fixed a crash that could happen on swapoff().
  * Initmem is freed (no more 'missing implementation')
  * The number of maximum cobd block devices was increased to 32.
  * Windows: 
    * Sizes of raw partition devices are now detected properly. This 
      means that the resierfs problems should be over, plus cat /dev/cobd* 
      would work for you.
    * Suspension of the host machine won't cause colinux-daemon problems like 
      memory leaks.
    * The daemon can install itself as a service (Jaroslaw Kowalski). 
      Stopping the service sends Ctrl-Alt-Del to let the Linux VM
      shutdown cleanly.
    * coLinux now builds using MingW32 and no longer depends on cygwin1.dll.
    * Added scripts for building the MingW32 cross compiler on Linux,
      plus scripts that download, compile, and install the libraries
      coLinux depends on.
  * Linux port:
    * Sending SIGHUP to the daemon causes it to issue Ctrl-Alt-Del on the
      Linux VM.
  * Consoles: 
    * Fixed a bug in the clear operation: let it clear with the right video 
      erase character so that ncurses apps would appear properly.
    * Fixed virtual console switching (alt-f1, alt-f2, etc.) so it will
      save/redraw the screen like it should.
    * FLTK: The cursor is visible again.

I'm really sorry about that, but where is the place from which it could be
downloaded?

Thank you,
Dim

What do you mean with this. Do you want to claim that if you press 
Ctrl-Alt-Del that colinux will restart and not windows?

RE: [coLinux-devel] snapshot 20040417

[Daniel R. S. <dan...@ya...>]

I believe what he means is that when colinux is installed as a service and
it receives the service stop message, it will send a ctrl-alt-delete message
to the linux machine so it shuts down cleanly before stopping the service.

Cool! It now works with a native partition on my external firewire hard 
drive!

Thanks!

[morfic <mo...@bb...>]

if i may ask, with what livecd did you get the partition onto the 
firewire drive, i have yet to find one that boots my laptop and loads 
firewire + SBP2 drivers correctly, i have set aside 13GB for gentoo, but 
need to go partition/format for linux
any help appreciated, all i would need is a livecd to get the partition 
ready then i could mount it in colinux and mount and finish from there, 
thanks in advance

I used the following line in colinux.xml:

<block_device index="3" path="\Device\Harddisk1\Partition2"
	enabled="true"></block_device>

Where \Device\Harddisk1\Partition2 is my firewire drive partition. After
booting coLinux, I formated /dev/cobd3 with mke2fs, just like any other
partition.
