    pandian - MARK3 - beta

    So PyraOS works ok on Pandora? Display, nubs, wifi...?

    pandian - MARK3 - beta

    stackshadow, I would just like to say that Mark3 works perfectly on my pandora. Great setup. Thank you very very much for your hard work!

    pandian - MARK2

    Someone would have to have access to source. And make sure there are no hardcoded armel dependencies, and if there are, resolve them. And someone would have to compile and package for both armel SZ and armhf Debian each PND people request. And keep doing so whenever there is a change. And make...

    pandian - MARK2

    I can give you my own oppinon on the matter. I do appreciate all of the porters doing their work for SZ. It is great what you people have done there, and how you are squeezing the last electron from the machine. But, when I switch to Debian on openpandora, I want to use Debian, and all of the...

    pandian - MARK2

    - Preconfigured image: I'd keep the basic minimum, similar as openpandora has on default distro, so that you can run it, run X, connect to net, and download anything else you will need by yourself. Over the top user friendliness will only make life harder for you to maintain the distro and for...

    pandian - MARK2

    Well, his last public message was in May. That is 5 months ago. Almost half year ago. There is no reason for someone else not to step in and continue the work, it was all public anyway. And (if) when stackshadow returns, he can continue. If stackshadow doesn't return, then it is a waste of time...

    pandian - MARK2

    I'm using sid on pandora, and I have been lurking on debian arm mail list. As far as I can tell, the main problem is kernel, if you don't care about 3D, wifi, sound and nubs. :-) I have managed to make wifi and nubs work before pandian, but when I switched to pandian, it setup its configuration...

    Debian on SD

    It is trivial on Debian to change the desktop environment, so I'd say that LXDE or whatever else GUI is an non-issue.

    Debian on SD

    Here is my config: Installed both xserver-xorg-video-fbdev and xserver-xorg-video-omap3. No /etc/X11/xorg.conf, because "recently" XOrg migrated to the separate configs in xorg.conf.d, so xorg.conf will soon become obsolete. Instead: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-omapfb.conf Section "Device"...

    Debian on SD

    I don't see the point in running X in chrooted qemu environment on an x86 PC, and am not sure if that is even possible. Booting the Debian on Pandora and running it there yes, but otherwise...?

    Debian on SD

    Wait a second. Are you actually talking about booting the Debian from SD on Pandora, or are you still talking about chrooted SD card on your PC/laptop? Which of those is giving you problems?

    Debian on SD

    Or just copy /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group from your linux distribution which you're using to do debootstrap. You have to explicitely mount with noexec and/or nodev if you want those disabled. Noexec means that even if the file has exec flag on it, it won't run when started from that...

    Debian on SD

    Apink, that is great! :) I'd just like to add the following: - I have created 2 shell scripts, one for mounting and one for unmounting the /dev, /proc and /sys. Yes, it is neccessary to unmount those first, because the system will refuse to unmount /sdmountpoint. - Use "cp -ar" instead of...

    Debian on SD

    According to the arm debian list, all of the effort these days is in armhf. They have already decided that armel will become obsolete. And then raspberry pi showed up... Well, this pandian is on SD card. No chroot.

    Debian on SD

    Well, one of the options is pandian. Don't know about the multistrap, never used it but I'd say that the "arch=armel" is wrong for the current Debian because it is no longer an supported architecture. As for the debootstrap, as I have mentioned before, here is what I did: - mounted the sdcard...
