[Application] SOLEIL

[Askarus]

Back on the big computer.

Anything special here or the same as above?

 

[Askarus]

The wifi of my computer is down.

I did: iwconfig wlan0 power on

iwlist wlan0 power

says power is on

iwlist wlan0 scan

says:

Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is dwn

 

[Linux-SWAT]

You have to give a temporary adress to allow scanning:

ifconfig wlan0 1.1.1.1

 

[Askarus]

If I do

ifconf wlan0 essid "name"

dhcpcd wlan0

it's still timed out.

tried also with mach adress.

did also

iwlist wlan0 scan

and

iwconf  wlan0 power on

USB mass storage for second card doesn't work.

The card is fine as I did mass storage mode with the non SOLEIL Pandora ti test it first.

Mass storage mode on SOLEIL Pandora shows no reaction.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Weird and weird.

The wlan setup is the exact same i used at FOSDEM, and it worked.

As the same doesn't work on your laptop, i'd say another parameter is needed for your access point.

Maybe set the channel (should be automatic anyway)?

iwconfig wlan channel your_channel.

For the usb share, i have no clue.

At least, you can use nfs.

I will dig those problems soon.

 

[Askarus]

I've done some more testing with usb mass storage mode:

SOLEIL is the problem.

With zaxxon the mass storage mode worked fine on my second Pandora (also zaxxon).

With SOLEIL it didn't work. I had only the Pandora version booted, no network. Conditions were the same as with zaxxon.

Wlan is now more weired:

If I do dhcpcd it connects to the ethernet port (with SOLEIL in it).

No matter if I set the channel or not.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I think i've never tested mass storage under Slackware.

I don't understand the "it connects to the ethernet port".

 

[Askarus]

Connection to ethernet:


bash-4.2# dhcpcd
dhcpcd[2287]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[2287]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[2287]: eth0: rebinding lease of 10.0.0.2
dhcpcd[2287]: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[2287]: eth0: acknowledged 10.0.0.2 from 10.0.0.1
dhcpcd[2287]: eth0: leased 10.0.0.2 for 3600 seconds
dhcpcd[2287]: forked to background, child pid 2347
If I do dhcpcd again it says it's already running.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Don't run dhcpcd alone ! Use the interface name after dhcpcd.

 

[Askarus]

OK.

 

[Askarus]

Set the right channel as well.

Still timed out.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I'm clueless here...

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Had a bug with SL4P, therefore in SOLEIL:

http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12125-solved-libgles-weird-bug-on-slackware/

Now it's solved and i'll soon produce and upload a new rootfs.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

The new minimal rootfs is uploaded:

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=SOLEIL%2FSOLEIL-14.0%2Frootfs

 

[Linux-SWAT]

All versions:

As root, a

chmod +x /etc/profile.d/lang.sh

is needed to have the proper utf-8 encoding.

Will be corrected in the next release.

 

[Askarus]

Did you already checked the SD-Mass storage mode?

Did you already made the upgradeable version of minimal SOLEIL?

Does DislpayLink work with SOLEIL as it does in regular Slackware?

Don't know when we'll get it for zaxxon.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I have not much time for now.

There's almost no difference between SOLEIL and Slackware, so yes, DL will work.

Notaz is planning a kernel update so maybe remember him to include DL module in the 3.2 kernel thread ;^).

 

[Askarus]

I'll get the new minimal version and test it.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I've uploaded a new demo video for those who don't know what it is:

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=videos%2FSOLEIL

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Working back on it.

Built a non-PAE kernel and added the menu entry. Some 32bit machines can't handle the more than 4G ram kernel option.

Added many NIC firmwares as some missed, so machines never booted :/.

I won't upload a new version for the moment.

If someone has that kind of trouble, i can send the kernel.
