Slackware inside Pandora.

[Linux-SWAT]

Same touchscreen problem with this new xorg.conf file.
Had to change omap -> fbdev because of the "OMAP ERROR: Could not read chipset" error.

I compiled like ~400 Cortex-A8/Neon/Pandora-optimised packages, I'm currently uploading them to:

Index of /pandora/sl4p/sl4p-15.0/packages/

Base and base-more are shipped in the rootfs, extra aren't.
There is no dependencies management, check requisites on the https://slackbuilds.org/ website.
I ship the slapt-get and gslapt utilities (yet untested for the 15.0) to download/install these pre-compiled packages.

See the documentation:

Awesome, going to give it a try! Emacs is installed as default package right?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yes, it's in the standard Slackware packages.
The rootfs still has a lot of problems. The OS is very slow on CC Pandora (don't have a rebirth), ok on 1GHz.
Nubs and touchscreen are not usable, so for graphical mode, options left (for now) are external mouse or vnc.

Quick response: thanks! Will try asap.

Sorry, took longer than anticipated.
Now, this makesd command bakes a bootable µSD as described:

DEV=/dev/sdb makesd -f ext3-j -s 95 -r https://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/sl4p/sl4p-15.0/rootfs/SL4P-15.0-alpha2.tar.xz -f swap -s 5

It boots but is indeed very slow and needs approx 120s to boot to a login: (typically I see less than 30s). No idea why.
There are also some error messages to be looked at and which could indicate a problem.

Wow, what an honor to be included in makesd !
Should I make a SL4P-15.0-latest.tar.xz image ?

--EDIT: well, not included, but at least linked.
