Hi all I am trying the wiki "Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on Gumstix Overo" http://wiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=Installing_Ubuntu_10.04_on_Gumstix_Overo and my system (Ubuntu 10.04 using VMware) gets repeatedly stuck at Setting up libglade2-0 (1:2.6.4-1build1) ... Any suggestions ?

Hi Thank you for the pointers ... few hours becomes overnight waiting ... and still nothing ... could be the Ubuntu under VMwave issue ... will try with one Ubuntu in dual boot. I am just trying to learn to create various OS for my Gumstix overo. Will try Linaro ... thank again.

Hi, I had some issues with this tutorial myself ;-) I am building my Images with Ubuntu 12.04 in VMWare. Since I have an Tobi Expansion Board I wanted to build an Image with USB-OTG and HDMI Gui support. I modified the Sarkoman mksdcard.sh to prepare the SD-Card (make partitions, formatink, mount/unmount) and burn the MLO,uboot, uImage and RootFS in the correct way. (http://www.sakoman.com/category/8-gnome-daily-builds-r13.html) To prepare the Ubuntu Image I did followed the normal Tutorial: http://wiki.gumstix.org/index.php?title=Installing_Ubuntu_10.04_on_Gumstix_Overo but I added -l username -p password for my primary user account. The Tutorial said it is not working, but this is fixed by now. sudo apt-get install rootstock qemu sudo rootstock --serial ttyS2 -d lucid -f "gumstix" -l username -p password --seed lxde,gdm,openssh-server,x11vnc After creating the RootFS (armel-rootfs-***.tgz) you have to copy recent MLO and uboot Files. I took them from the Link "recent" of the Tutorial ( http://www.sakoman.com/feeds/omap3/glibc/images/overo/201009091145/). The uImage File with the Linux Kernel has to be a different !!!!!!!!!!! Some Lines beneath the "recent"-link are the Links "2.6.34 Kernel" ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/211887/Ubuntu/uImage-2.6.34-r88-overo.bin) and the corresponding "modules" for this kernel ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/211887/Ubuntu/modules-2.6.34-r88-overo.tgz). After downloading all these Files you could take my modified Sakoman script to burn it on the SD-Card: #! /bin/sh export LC_ALL=C MOUNT_POINT="/media/overo-sd" PWD=`pwd` WORK_DIR=$PWD if [ $# -lt 5 ]; then echo "" echo "Usage: $0 <drive> <MLO> <u-boot.bin> <uImage.bin> <rootfs>" echo " drive: SD device (i.e. /dev/sdc)" echo " MLO: Stage 1 bootlader (i.e. MLO*)" echo " u-boot.bin: Stage 2 bootlader (i.e. u-boot*.bin)" echo " uImage.bin: Kernelimage (i.e. uImage*.bin)" echo " rootfs: root filesystem (i.e. armel-rootfs-*.tgz)" exit 1; fi if ! id | grep -q root; then echo "This utility must be run prefixed with sudo or as root" exit 1; fi if [ "$1" = "/dev/sda" ] ; then echo "Sorry, /dev/sda probably holds your PC's rootfs. Please specify a SD device." exit 1; fi DRIVE=$1 #make sure that the SD card isn't mounted before we start if [ -b ${DRIVE}1 ]; then umount ${DRIVE}1 umount ${DRIVE}2 elif [ -b ${DRIVE}p1 ]; then umount ${DRIVE}p1 umount ${DRIVE}p2 else umount ${DRIVE} fi dd if=/dev/zero of=$DRIVE bs=1024 count=1024 SIZE=`fdisk -l $DRIVE | grep Disk | grep bytes | awk '{print $5}'` echo DISK SIZE – $SIZE bytes CYLINDERS=`echo $SIZE/255/63/512 | bc` echo CYLINDERS – $CYLINDERS { echo ,9,0x0C,* echo ,,,- } | sfdisk -D -H 255 -S 63 -C $CYLINDERS $DRIVE sleep 1 if [ -b ${DRIVE}1 ]; then PART1=${DRIVE}1 PART2=${DRIVE}2 elif [ -b ${DRIVE}p1 ]; then PART1=${DRIVE}p1 PART2=${DRIVE}p2 else echo "Improper partitioning on $DRIVE" exit 1; fi umount ${PART1} mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot ${PART1} umount ${PART2} mke2fs -j -L rootfs ${PART2} # create a mount point if it doesn't already exist if [ ! -d $MOUNT_POINT ]; then if ! mkdir $MOUNT_POINT; then echo "Could not create mount point: $MOUNT_POINT" echo "SD card creation was not successful" exit 1; fi fi if mount -t vfat ${PART1} $MOUNT_POINT; then echo "Populating boot partition files" cp $2 $MOUNT_POINT/MLO cp $3 $MOUNT_POINT/u-boot.bin cp $4 $MOUNT_POINT/uImage sync umount $MOUNT_POINT echo "Boot partition complete" else echo "Can't mount ${PART1} at $MOUNT_POINT for boot partition creation" echo "SD card creation was not successful" exit 1; fi # this shouldn't be necessary, but Ubuntu seems to remove the mount point! if [ ! -d $MOUNT_POINT ]; then if ! mkdir $MOUNT_POINT; then echo "Could not create mount point: $MOUNT_POINT" echo "SD card creation was not successful" exit 1; fi fi if mount -t ext3 ${PART2} $MOUNT_POINT; then if cd $MOUNT_POINT; then echo "Populating rootfs partition files" echo "This will take several minutes . . ." tar xf $WORK_DIR/$5 sync cd $WORK_DIR umount $MOUNT_POINT echo "Rootfs partition complete" else echo "Error populating rootfs partition" echo "SD card creation was not successful" fi else echo "Can't mount ${PART2} at $MOUNT_POINT for rootfs creation" echo "SD card creation was not successful" exit 1; fi echo "SD card creation was successful" exit 0; 2012/6/28 bhamadicharef <bha...@ho...> > Hi > > Thank you for the pointers ... few hours becomes overnight waiting ... and > still > nothing ... could be the Ubuntu under VMwave issue ... will try with one > Ubuntu > in dual boot.

Hi, I noticed that you were running Ubuntu 12.04 and were still able to use rootstock to create an Ubuntu rootfs tarball. How were you able to apt-get rootstock? I've been trying for some time now to create an Ubuntu Oneiric (I'll take Precise too at this point) bootable sd card installation for the Overo -- trying and failing greatly. Following that gumstix-wiki tutorial, I tried rootstock on my Oneiric host machine and it was failing. On my Precise host machine, seeing that rootstock is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootStock deprecated and that for 12.04+ Canonical now recommends https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core Ubuntu Core for armel instead, I tried using their ubuntu-core rootfs, but it wouldn't complete booting (I'm not confident I set it up right, to be honest, since their instructions were different). I'd love it if the rootstock utility would work, as I've found many a tutorial that layout a step-by-step, logged account of how to go from 0-to-Winning, for my exact end-goal.

I'm with rlinsalata, I can't get past the first step "sudo apt-get install rootstock" because someone took it down from the repositories. Does anyone know where it went? Even better, why do we all have to build our copies of the OS individually? That seems like a massive waste of time. Why can't we just download a ubuntu-console-(10,11,12).tar.gz and unzip it to the SD card like we do with the (broken and non-functional) angstrom "operating system"? |

Bhamadicharef, Were you able to boot your gumstix using your rootfs, I've had trouble with Ubuntu core 12.04 and 11.10 Casey On Jul 21, 2012 8:59 AM, "bhamadicharef" <bha...@ho...> wrote: > Hi > > If someone want access to > > armel-rootfs-201207081000.tgz (Size 341.0 MB, 357589540 bytes) and > rootstock-201207081000.log (Size 2.2 MB (2274016 bytes) > > email me ... and I will share them > > Brahim > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/Installing-Ubuntu-10-04-on-Gumstix-Overo-tp4964750p4964980.html > Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

You can still apt-get install rootstock as usual on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 but not for Ubuntu 12.04 (I learned that rootstock cannot be installed that way as it become obsolete on Precise).

Hi Have not had time to try/boot it yet ... will update. I use 10.04 VMwave Ubuntu and it worked ... missing 'password' issue sorted out the problem for me.
