problems with EPIA M
by fikin 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

i'm trying to cd-install crux2.3-i586 (from contrib dir) and running into very strange problems: 1. # /usr/bin/setup /usr/bin/setup : line 263: syntax error near unexpected token 'else' Problem place is at line 253 though: ' ) > $tmpfile 2>&1' Apparently the piping is not liked by bash ??? Well, I did following: # cp /usr/bin/setup /tmp/ # vi /tmp/setup (removed the piping) # /tmp/setup This allowed package installation to go fine. 2. # setup-chroot # cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3 # make menuconfig Makefile:278: /usr/src/linuc-2.6.20.3/scripts/Kbuild.include: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 0: [: -lt: unary operator expected make: Warning: File: '/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.3/arch/i386/makefile.cpu' has modification time 8.4e+07 s in the future make: *** No rule to make target '/usr/src/linux- 2.6.20.3/scripts/Kbuild.include'. Stop. Now, the very same iso installs just fine under qemu (cpu emulation as an athlon). http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#VIA_Processors says that this processor reports wrongly i686, instead should be i586. # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu_family : 6 model : 7 model name : VIA Samuel 2 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 599.90 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow bogomips : 1201.07 clflush size : 32 # uname -p i686 Any suggestions are warmly welcome! fikin

Hi, Clare, please don't remove the list. Clare Johnstone schrieb: >> Makefile:278: /usr/src/linuc-2.6.20.3/scripts/Kbuild.include > > I hesitate to butt in, but is the above correct? (linuc) There is no such thing as "linuc" in the linux kernel. It's either a cut'n'paste error or something is really broken. Well, the CD isn't broken, Nikolai?

pkgutils-c-1.5
by Anton Vorontsov 10 Aug '07

10 Aug '07

Hi all, It's been a long time from the previous version announcement (1.1). Three versions released silently, so here is version 1.5 of the pkgutils-c: unofficial pkgutils for CRUX, rewritten in C. Few bugs and memory leaks fixed, speed ups and some cosmetic changes. Nothing drastically new, so far. Another news is: in addition to ARM and i686, pkgutils-c now tested to work on PowerPC 32. Here is the link for downloads: ftp://crux-arm.kmeaw.com/pub/crux-arm/depot/pkgutils-c-1.5.tar.gz I'll sync my local branch with remote git repo asap. And finally, thanks to Mark Rosenstand and James Mills for the contributions! -- Anton Vorontsov email: cbou(a)mail.ru backup email: ya-cbou(a)yandex.ru irc://irc.freenode.net/bd2

handbook - filesystems
by Giorgio Lando 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, I decided to switch all my systems from Archlinux to CRUX and I am very happy. I would like to suggest a small modification to the Handbook (and, secondly, to the CRUX page in distrowatch). In the 3.2 section of the handbook, the following utterance confused me during installation: "Using ReiserFS is recommended, but there is support for Ext2fs/Ext3fs, XFS and JFS as well". In the CRUX page in distrowatch: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=crux it appears that CRUX supports only two journaled filesystems, i.e. reiserfs and XFS. In the mailing list archives I found that the problem has been discussed in May 2006 and the recommendation of reiserfs was declared by Per Lidén to be a relict of the times where reiserfs was the only journaled filesystem. Nowadays, there is no reason to recommend a journaled filesystem over another and any potential CRUX user should be able to choose the filesystem which is better for his system and which he likes more. Thus I suggest to change the formulation in the handbook to: "CRUX supports all the filesystems supported as root filesystems by the linux kernel: ext2, ext3, JFS, reiserfs, XFS". The indication in distrowatch seems to me just a mistake, since it suggests that one cannot use ext3 or JFS in CRUX. However, I am aware that distrowatch is much less important than the handbook.

imlib-conf is missing
by Jeremy Heiler 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

I'm new to Crux (and linux in general) but I've managed to get Crux installed and working. I'm currently updating my system and trying to get IceWM installed. The problem is when I "pkgmk -d" icewm (that I used httpup to get) it gives me the error: "configure: error: imlib-config can not be found" So I looked for imlib in ports and I found imlib2 and imlib2_loader and installed those. I tried to install IceWM again but the same error came up. I searched Google for "imlib-conf" but all I found was that the file should of been made when I installed imlib2? I'm sorta confused. - jer

vmware-player port
by Frank Hale 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Anyone know if there is a port for vmware-player for Crux? I've searched but haven't found any. The vmware-workstation port should be close enough but I haven't tried hacking it to work with vmware-player. Just trying to guage if hacking is required or if the work has already been done.

Hopfully another installation method
by Per Jernström 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

I think it would be nice if the boot-cd also came with sshd. I don't mean as a precompiled package, but bundeled. A while back I installed crux on a machine 200 km from home and the customer that ordered it had just basic knowledge about computers and non about linux. So I told him to download, burn and boot Knoppix and with a couple simple commands start sshd. Then I took over the installationprocess and donwloaded, installed crux. But it would have been nice (and simpler for me ;) )if he could have downloaded and booted crux-cd direct. Regards, Per
