10:23 rabeeh ok
10:23 rabeeh so you have the u-boot flashed ok?
10:23 edorizzi yes
10:24 edorizzi I had to use TFTP
10:24 rabeeh oh
10:24 edorizzi the only way
10:24 rabeeh so the u-boot in the installer didn't work?
10:24 edorizzi no, at all
10:25 edorizzi if you have a look in the forum .. you'll se that this is happening almost to everyone
10:25 edorizzi http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1160&start=30
10:25 edorizzi I've posted some instruction to solve this, I hope they are clear
10:28 rabeeh but i still wonder why flashing u-boot via the installer didn't work !
10:29 edorizzi ehe … this is really up to you .. I can' help onthis
10:30 edorizzi but you know what, now I'm getting troubles with the distros coming with the installer … :-)
10:31 edorizzi I had the chance toinstall GeexBox XMBC one time, but now it is impossible to download
10:32 edorizzi ubuntu is very slow
10:33 edorizzi I was playing a bit with xubuntu, but when tring to set the dns editing /etc/resolv.conf it simply .. disappeared …
10:36 edorizzi It would be nice to have the chance to reinstall what comes out of the box .. you know .. just to see something running ...
10:37 edorizzi and not feel to have waste some money …
10:38 rabeeh which geexbox have you tried to download?
10:38 rabeeh i think the working now is geexbox-devel
10:38 rabeeh (hardfp version)
10:38 edorizzi what comes from the installer
10:38 rabeeh yes
10:39 edorizzi the dowload does not start
10:39 edorizzi now I'm trying to reinstal xubuntu

10:44 edorizzi you know, it's very frustrating
16:02 captainigloo rabeeh: i updated https://github.com/naguirre/meta-cubox
16:02 rabeeh great
16:05 bencoh oh nice
16:06 bencoh I never took the time to clean my tree and send patch for meta-cubox
16:06 captainigloo i tried an angstrom image, it runs fine
16:07 captainigloo and with hardfp btw
16:32 rabeeh which kernel?
16:33 captainigloo 3.6.9
16:33 captainigloo the last commit you pushed
16:34 rabeeh SRCREV = "1be2c7686ab85ab11f92e90843cd8e0ea2cc93ac"
16:34 rabeeh ?
16:34 captainigloo 1be2c7686ab85ab11f92e90843cd8e0ea2cc93ac
16:34 captainigloo yes
16:35 rabeeh is there a way to tell Angstrom not to git clone the whole thing with the history?
16:35 rabeeh it takes huge amount of space and time to fully git clone.
16:35 captainigloo yes you can, but you need a mirror providing the tar.gz
16:36 captainigloo and you need to change the recipe
16:38 rabeeh http://pastebin.com/8MDNePBX
16:38 rabeeh i'v done that before; but the tar.gz only points to head
16:38 rabeeh i couldn't find a away to tell replace 'http://github.com/rabeeh/linux/archive/master.tar.gz' with something that has a commit
16:40 captainigloo ah yes i guess that's you need SRCREV in linux.inc
16:40 captainigloo bitbake can't parse the recipes or something like that ?
16:41 captainigloo what if you removed completely SRCREV
16:42 captainigloo ?
16:48 bencoh you can just specify SRC_URI
16:53 wumpus yeah, github only generates download urls for branches and tags, not every revision
16:54 bencoh which kinda makes sense considering the time and space allowing it for every commit would require on some project
16:55 wumpus right
