i tried startx but it tells me i need "xinit" ... i installed it using apt and the blank screen with the cursor appeared after a startx.

noted. I'll make sure xinit is installed for the next run.

UPDATE: I ran a new image with xinit and X should now autostart with tty1.

not working in virtualbox

i guess the ; before then is too much, isn't it?

I'm thinking it could be the missing space after "if".

fixed this issue in the latest build (i think).

Update: I just set up a automatic mirroring solution for http://linuxice.openice.org. It's pretty cool how it works, it's basically an apache cluster that will redirect to the mirrors based on traffic.

If anyone wants to contribute by offering some web space, I can help you get setup. All you basically need is a server with rsync access.

This should keep downloads fast.

Hi guys. I'm going to give the latest snapshot a try and will most likely be able to offer a mirror next week, as well as start becoming active in this effort.

Quick question though. I prefer to do a lot of this on my actual carputer device which is a little web pad with no cd that I can boot off. I usually create a free partition and use debootstrap to install new versions of the OS. Can this be done off of your repos or not? The crux is I cant install off a CD directly onto the device which I think is important in testing these things. If not, I'll use a virtual machine.

thanks
charles

there's no reason why you can't debootstrap debian/ubuntu and add the linuxice repo (when we actually get it set up). I'm trying to make the system install as easy as `apt-get install linuxice` which will install all the other packages.

take a look at how the live-cd is created: http://wiki.openice.org/index.php/Linuxice2 it starts out as a debootstrap'd chroot and then builds from that...

The most help I can use at this point is setting up an automatic solution to build all the packages and automatically create a repo for them.... I think I can get all the packages built easy enough. I don't yet know how to build the repo without a 3rd party helper utility (I used falcon before).

Sorry I should have poked around on the wiki a bit more. I had taken a casual look before and not seen anything pointing me to get started with linuxice2 and then I saw this thread.

Helping with the automation of building packages and putting them into a repo sounds like it's right up my alley, so I'll definitely help with it. I'll get a VM setup for the repo and get back to you on the details. Do you guys do most of your collaboration on IRC?

Yep: #linuxice on irc.freenode.com

If my tests go okay today, this will be LinuxICE2-Alpha1.

There is a testing repository setup at http://linuxice.openice.org:88/packages/testing. Here's the proper apt line if you want to try it:

Code:

deb http://linuxice.openice.org:88/packages/testing ./

there are a number a new packages: fbd, wifiproximity, smsd, obdgpslogger, navit (0.1.1+svn), linuxice, linuxice-desktop and linuxice-standard. The linuxice packages is a metapackage that will install everything.

Anyway, try it out, see if it works for you.

I tried the July 17 package and it seemed to work fine.

AMD 64 bit 3500+ processor

The build server is back up, so I'll start bug fixing and get some updated builds out. Beta1 here we come!

kev000 · 08-28-2009, 03:03 PM

Today's image (LinuxICE2-2009-08-28.iso) when it get's propagated to the mirrors, addresses the following bugs:

icepanel icons: http://bugs.openice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=26&pos=0
gpsd autostarting: http://bugs.openice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=28&pos=2
pulseaudio: http://bugs.openice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=30&pos=4
mingetty (autologin): http://bugs.openice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=31&pos=5

so we need to know:

Does Icepanel display properly? yes/no
Is gpsd running on boot? yes/no
does sound work? yes/no
after ice configure runs, does autologin work? yes/no

Feedback welcome. Thanks!
