Getting kernel source tree with only 56k modem

[T. <Ren...@gm...>]

Hello everybody,

sorry for my probably mean question, but I want to know if there is another
possibility getting latest APUS kernel sources besides downloading the whole
CVS tree. Due to the fact that I only own a 56k modem doing the above
mentioned would block my phone for hours (at least)!
Unfortunately I'm not very common using CVS but I think that there is an
option that allows downloading only changed parts compared to an locally
existent version (the latest source version I own completely is something around
2.4.9)!?
Do I have to use sshell while connecting to CVS?

Or maybe there is another possibility to get the sources probably as a whole
archived and compressed file (than I would be able to use the download
manager function within IBrowse, that allows me to continue an aborted download)?

Many thanx in advance

Kind regards

The problem I suspected would be the other way around, that it would get
confused by a bus board when it expects a B/CVision.

The funny thing is that the PCI code is taken from pm2fb. The X problem
might be related, my only guess is that it's somehow related to the
Firmware upgrade.

The output you posted shows that the kernel panics when it probes for PCI
hardware. Do you have a PCI daughter board or something? I think these have
been reported to interfere with the PCI code for the B/CVision cards.

Again, just don't worry about them. :) They're unlikely to be a problem.

Are you using pm2fb in console? Otherwise try without Option "UseFBDev",
you'd be missing out on pm2fb though.

Don't panic. You can always boot into single user mode by appending the
word 'single' to the kernel boot arguments.

Newbie problems , 2.4.x and Xfree86

[Daniel P. <cor...@ho...>]

Ok problem number one :) :

I have setup a clean drive with amiga OS 3.0 ,the ppc.lib and the latest 
APUS boothack in the C:.

I can boot kernel version 2.2.10 and i have installed Debian woody on the 
linux partition on the end of this clean disk ( its linux only , basic 
amigaos install to get linux going ). When i try and boot any 2.4.x series 
kernels ( i've tried a few ) the Blizzard vision ( the aga output promoted 
to the bv via one of its options ) has the boothack output with the last 
line being inhibiting filesystems , the AGA output is a light white/grey 
colour as when booting 2.2.10 , it stays like this for a while and then 
resets :(

The 2.2.10 kernel boots fine , with just a few unresolved symbols on the 
modules , i'd be gratefull for anyideas on that , but the system works fine 
without um as i've been using bitchX and lynx all day.

Problem 2:

When i have got a kernel booted (currently 2.2.10) i want to run X and 
windowmaker , so i installed the Xfree86 package from the Debain Woody CD 
and downloaded a config file from the contrib folder and copyied it in , 
issuing startX reports unresolved sysmbols in glint.o , being a linux newbie 
i kinda don't know where to start with fixing it. Altough i did set it up to 
use a framebuffer and the server started and crashed leaving mess on the 
bottom half of the screen. It then did it ever time i booted so i had to 
reinstall.

Any help is gratefully recieved :)

Thanks

-Daniel Palmer

By Yellow Dog? I don't think they officially support APUS, but it may

Yes and maybe, depending on your bandwidth.

To get the module loaded on startup, put its name into /etc/modules. To
get it loaded automatically whenever it's needed, put the lines

alias		sound-slot-0		dmasound_paula
alias		sound-service-0-0	dmasound_paula

in a file in /etc/modutils/ (e.g. /etc/modutils/sound) and run
update-modules.

How silly of me! :D
Just modprobed dmasound_paula and everything went ok
BTW, in LPPC 1999 Q3 I had an X interface for linuxconf which allowed me to
select which daemons run at startup.
Can I do it without this Xlinuxconf (I can't find the correct menu entry and
I'd like to have esd ran on startup)?

'No such device' means there's no hardware or no driver for it. Probably
the latter in your case. :)

I don't know if those are even supposed to support Paula. Have you tried
loading the dmasound_paula module?

Esound & /dev/dsp

[<mr-...@li...>]

Hi,
when I try to run esd I get '/dev/dsp: no such device' even if all
permissions are set properly (it gives the same output if ran as root).
I also installed alsa drivers, but had no results.
Is there a way to solve this problem (and have sound? -the beeps work fine-)

I'm sure you mean CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER? ;)

it's the same as the 2.4.17-3 on sf.net, and:

which version of kernel 2.4.17-apus is in woody?

[Andreas <an...@po...>]

Hi

I'd like to know which version of the 2.4.17-apus kernel is in the woody .deb.
As far as I can see, there have been three revisions of 2.4.17 for apus (yeah,
thanks again Michel for compiling the CONFIG_BUFFER stuff into it to have it
workink with DHCP). Therefore I am currently using 2.4.17-3 and want to
install the modules the proper way (say using the .deb), but I don't know if
there would be conflicts if I install a .deb with an older kernel version, and
therefore maybe having CONFIG_BUFFER as a module as well as compiled into to
kernel itself.

PS: Michel: Woody does now seem to be definitely releasable, as it has
undergone all my stress testing without failure (and you know what stress
testing means :)) )!!

Thanks, and best wishes,
Andi

Let me add strace to the good list others have put together.


PS: This is definitely not a question related to Linux/APUS development.
If everybody keeps cross-posting, we can as well go on with a single
list...

ftrace  - traces file calls
ltrace - traces library calls
ldd - prints out list of required libraries of a program


these are the basic 'big three' that i use.  there are MANY MANY
more

Dear Linux/Amiga users,

I need a programm for analize the OS functions/call/files load etc. like =

Is there anything similar on AmigaLinux?

Thanx for all.

There's often a file INSTALL contatining instructions for compiling and
installing in the top level source directory. But doesn't Linux Format
give instructions how to use the software they put on their CDs?

Binaries yes, but the majority of source code should build (and maybe
even work :) on PPC.

When did Opera go open source? I missed that. ;)

Well, that's the best way IMO. Most software you can just apt-get
install, no need for tedious compiling.

compiling from source code

[David J. <jo...@co...>]

Hi all,
I have a number of Linux format Cd's and would like to use some of the
programs on my AmigaPPC running Debian Linux.
I have not yet compiled any software from source, I am unsure where to
find out how. 
I don't know whether I need source suitable for my PPC.
I need the whole process explaining in a simple manner, with my PPC in
mind, I assume x86 code is useless for me?
Can anyone help or point me in the direction of some simple tutorials
on how to do this. As an example I have the source for Opera 6 (off a
LF CD) and would like to get this software to run on my system.
I have a slow online connection, so I don't really want to have to
download debs unless that's the only way. Anyway I want to be able to
do this myself.

Regards,

Dave

You need of course some executables, you can extract a package with "ar
p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar xvfz -". As soon as you have everything to
execute dpkg, you can use that to reinstall everything.

RE:/usr partition lost because of dead drive ...

[Ricardo F. <fit...@mo...>]

Hi, 

I posted this before, but still couldn't recover my Woody ...
Even my /usr partition is lost I have my .deb packages under
/var/cache/apt/archives, is it possible to restore it by reinstalling
those packages ? and if it is what do I need to uncompress .deb ?
What is the safest way ?

XModmap needed

[T. <Ren...@gm...>]

Hi everybody,

I recently hopefully found the reason that makes my keyboard misbehave!
My .Xmodmap is severely misconfigured. Does anybody have a german .Xmodma=
p
for Amiga (4000) and could send it to me via E-Mail? Many thanx in advanc=
e!

I wonder how my installation of XFree4.2 may have changed my .Xmodmap!? D=
ue
to the fact that I changed nothing within this file!

Many thanx again and =

Kind regards
