<wolfspraul>
the mount gives you no output at all?
<wolfspraul>
maybe try mount -v (verbose)
<wolfspraul>
which software version do you have on your ben (cat /etc/VERSION)?
<Tesseract>
2011-5-28 and I still dont get any output off the command (mount -t ubifs ubi1:data /data/ -v)
<wolfspraul>
or you just wait until we cleanup this mess and it works well out of the box :-)
<Tesseract>
lol
<Tesseract>
the new version apparently comes out some time in 2012
<wolfspraul>
which new version?
<Tesseract>
if you can clean this up by then, I'll be impressed
<Tesseract>
the ben nanonote is only the first in the nanonote series
<wolfspraul>
oh don't worry, we have been pretty good at improving the Ben software over the last 1.5 years. I think that's fair to say.
<Tesseract>
there's a new one (the yi if i remember correctly) coming out next year.
<Tesseract>
true
<wolfspraul>
I'm sorry that the data partition causes you some headache now.
<wolfspraul>
I want all this to work out of the box, but there are conflicting goals so we have been a little slow
<Tesseract>
I got the nanonote for the challange. wouldnt be worth it if it worked nicely
<wolfspraul>
for one we may want to enable dual-booting with Jlime
<wolfspraul>
then we are thinking how we can offer a usb-storage mode for file transfers
<wolfspraul>
and encrypted partitions
<Tesseract>
usb file transfers are easy enough already
<wolfspraul>
all of this ties back into the partitioning and choice of file systems, and we haven't found the golden middle path yet
<Tesseract>
dualbooting, awesome. usb-storage, unnecissary but awesome. encrypted partitions, if someone knows how to work the nanonote, they deserve my data.
<wolfspraul>
Tesseract: you can wait a little until xiangfu is back online, he may have some magic ideas to get your data partition up
<wolfspraul>
I hope you didn't follow that wiki page too closely, especially the section on auto-mounting at boot time - it may be outdated
<wolfspraul>
yeah, the bulk of the page was written in April 2010 :-)
<Tesseract>
bugger
<wolfspraul>
unfortunately deleting content in a wiki is hard, because nobody dares to make the decision that something has been superseded entirely
<wolfspraul>
there may still be some corner cases where the old information may be useful (is the thinking)
<wolfspraul>
so stuff just gets layered on top of each other, not good, unfortunately
<Tesseract>
we need a wiki archive for that sort of info
<kyak>
Tesseract: if using the latest image, mounting the data partition should be as easy as "mtd.nn format_data_default; mtd.nn mount data /data" (for the first time)
<kyak>
after that, just "mtd.nn mount data /data"
<kyak>
you can also add thi line to /etc/init.d/start
<wolfspraul>
kyak: since he went through the steps from the old wiki page - if he has no data on the Ben yet, the best may be to start over with a full reflash?
<Tesseract>
heh, just did one
<Tesseract>
oh well
<kyak>
wolfspraul: i assumed he has just did the full reflash
<Tesseract>
running reflash_ben.sh
<Tesseract>
now for the 20 min wait
<kyak>
Tesseract: just to confirm, are you reflashing all bootloader, kernel and rootfs?
<Tesseract>
everything currently
<Tesseract>
oh, is the data partition already 1.4Gb in size after reflashing?
<Tesseract>
only requiring mounting?
<kyak>
nope, you need to format it for the first time
<Tesseract>
hmm, this should go up on the wiki if it works.
<kyak>
then you shouldn't ever format it again (unless rootfs size changes)
<Tesseract>
kyak: on that first command you sent me, it throws up the error: "cannot attach mtd3 (file exists)"
<Tesseract>
hmm, perhapse i delete the /data directory and retry
<wolfspraul>
don't delete the /data directory
<wolfspraul>
the existance of that directory is completely unrelated to mtd3 or any of the ubi stuff. however, you need the /data directory as a mount point.
<Tesseract>
i'm assuming it still mounted to that directory, as i cant seem to delete it anyway
<kyak>
what does 'mount' show?
<Tesseract>
df -h shows it's mounted
<kyak>
and the size is..?
<Tesseract>
1.3Gb
<kyak>
all right then
<Tesseract>
sorry, 1.4
<Tesseract>
a resounding success
<kyak>
now you should add the mount command to your /etc/init.d/start
<wolfspraul>
Tesseract: congratulations!
<Tesseract>
echo "mtd.nn mount data /data" > /etc/init.d/start . should work to put it in the start file?
<Tesseract>
and thanks a heap for getting the data partition to co-operate!
<kyak>
better edit the /etc/init.d/start manually, as it has things there
<kyak>
oh, there is no /etc/init.d/start by default.. you could have a look into /etc/init.d/ben-nanonote and put your command there
<kyak>
in the start() function
<Tesseract>
done
<Tesseract>
and it works on reboot
<Tesseract>
however, in the same function, ifconfig usb0 192.168.3.2 doesn't work
<RON_>
wpwrak what have you heard from people who have received atben from our VERY seldom-seen tuxbrain friend?
<RON_>
wolspraul have you recieved your tuxbrain atben atusb order?
<lekernel>
"bluetooth support for the pulseaudio sound server". what the heck is that?!
<viric>
lekernel: it's the 21th century on electronics and free software
<viric>
did you just wake up from consoles, sound blasters, and 80386 personal computers running linux 1.0? :)
<viric>
Because you are going to get bad surprises
<viric>
*21st* :)
<lekernel>
so in the 21st century, we are supposed to have audio clicks and various sound breakages and bugs when you are playing audio from two applications simultaneously with pukeaudio?
<lekernel>
not to mention that when pukeaudio output is enabled in mplayer, I cannot smoothly play videos anymore
<viric>
lekernel: ah, you should get newer hardware
<lekernel>
there is a small hiccup every 2 seconds or so
<viric>
it's an indicator of obsolescence.
<lekernel>
oh, all these things worked perfectly with alsa
<viric>
that's so outdated!
<lekernel>
also, when playing said videos, the cpu usage isn't high
<lekernel>
it's just all pukeaudio bugs
<zear>
i don't like pulseaudio either. Latest gdm update forced me to install pulseaudio and since this i have lots of audio problems
<lekernel>
but there is bluetooth support. yay!
<lekernel>
yeah same here, fedora and gnome3 forces it on everyone
<viric>
people gets strong links with the past; the enforcement is for your wellfare and safety
<lekernel>
also I cannot see the point of playing your audio on a remote machine ... never had a need for that
<viric>
and for a subset of use cases, pulseaudio has been proven to move some bytes to some place better than other solutions.
<lekernel>
same for those stupid x11 redirects that never work and serve as a catch-all excuse for x11 problems... do you see a pattern here?
<viric>
that sounds like 'flexibility' and 'modularity'
<lekernel>
i don't have any "strong link" with the past, but I do enjoy audio that just works out of the box without having to type "killall -9 pulseaudio" every hour or so
<lekernel>
alsa was closer to that than pukeaudio
<lekernel>
first there was x11, now pukeaudio... i'll end up buying a mac if that trend continues
<lekernel>
at least apple got the UI and audio right
<viric>
:)
<viric>
Some try to achieve what apple achieved, but with another software license.
<lekernel>
if only the pulseaudio people would focus on getting it to _work_ on the local machine before implementing weird and often useless feature like bluetooth and tcp/ip ...
<lekernel>
it's really creating tons of problems on my machine because of its bugs
<viric>
:)
<viric>
the world advances at giant steps.
<viric>
And you alone will be able to slow it down only a little :)
<lekernel>
phew
<lekernel>
i'm by far not the only one who complains about pulseaudio bugs. there are so many...
<viric>
I'm just seeing a project about scanning bloggers in 3d.
<viric>
lekernel: I personally keep out it :)
<rjeffries>
do we have report sof people receiving atben radio boards (likewise atusb boards) and people getting them up and running
<rjeffries>
Ben to Ben seems to be doable.
<rjeffries>
Wolfgang did you get your order from David at Tuxbrain?
