by Markus Sonderegger 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hi there, I've just updated my crux2.2 to crux2.3 and spend some hours now at a 2.6.20.3 kernel problem. This damn image don't boot. I get following error message: "Please append a correct "root=" boot option" Kernel panic .... I switched back to my old 2.6.18.6 image and everything went fine again. My lilo.conf: lba32 install=text prompt boot=/dev/sda image=/boot/vmlinuz1 label=lk6.20.3 root=/dev/sda1 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=lk6.18.6 root=/dev/sda1 read-only Someone know how to solve this problem? Regards

A request for your input.

Hello My name is Lara Thynne and I am a PhD candidate at Deakin University Australia. I am currently researching the boundary between work and leisure activities directly related to the open source community and open source program development. As part of this I am running a survey at the following address. https://dcarf.deakin.edu.au/surveys/oss/ The survey is completely confidential and looks at your views and motivations to use Open Source software and to participate in the community. It will only take a five to ten minutes to complete and your contact details will not be recorded. You can withdraw your participation at any stage. I sincerely apologize for the spammish nature of this e-mail - I don't mean to abuse this list. I am trying to collect responses from as many open source developers and users as possible and a mailing list like can be the only way to reach many developers. Thanks again Lara P.S The program that I am using is open source, of course (www.phpsurveyor.org)

A couple of 2.2->2.3rc1 quirks
by Fredrik Rinnestam 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

I did a fresh 2.2 install on a spare box to see if i'd come across any issues when updating it to 2.3. First off, the 2.2 install was very straight forward with very few extra packages. only slim and openbox was installed. The initial upgrade with a 2.3-cd went well and i only observed a few issues: after rejmerging and reconfiguring xorg, X won't start: Fatal server error: "could not open default font 'fixed'" I had to mkfontdir & mkfontscale manually. Also, xorg.rsync is not included on the cd. rc.d/net gets overwritten which could cause problems, atleast for headless systems. -- Fredrik Rinnestam

Contrib members.
by pitillo 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello, at irc channel was a talk about the needed of new contrib members. Someone proposed to make a query in channel's topic and I made one directly on channel. Why wait to people became to be one contrib member? Why not recruit members? Core/dev members or contrib with experiencie can take a look to private repos, look for ports that are not in contrib and try to talk to maintainer to propose him to became a contrib member and maintain that port in contrib. With time and experiencie may be he can give a hand to other contrib members who maintain lot of ports. Also can be added to contrib a few "interesting/well done" ports from private repos. Only an idea. I hope it can be discussed here and we can read opinions or another suggestions. (on irc channel did not get any of them). Sorry if this is a crazy idea. Reegards. Learning bit by bit. - pitillo -

prt-get with Pkgfile using shells Command Substitution
by Matthias Pfeifer 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Hello, i am trying to maintain a port of emacs that accesses the emacs cvs repository to get the sources. however regarding versioning i was trying to be keen and inserted version=cvs-$(date %G) release=$(date +%j) on the long run - giving me a new version each year and a new release everyday i ask for it. however prt-get was misbehaving and eating more and more memory. strace showed that is was sitting in some sort of loop... is this at all a good idea?! i guess not from a methodical point of view. But what about prt-get? sincerely matthias

id3lib & libid3 in contrib

Hi, id3lib & libid3 in contrib appear to be the same with different maintainers. Is there some kind of aliasing feature in crux to handle this? -- paul wisehart
