Re: [Gnewsense-dev] Installation on a Lemote Yeeloong

[Stig Atle Steffensen]

Hi,
After chatting with Marcus I built libvpx by follwing these steps:
http://paste.awesom.eu/eiGL

The next thing to do was:
Rebuild iceweasel with --with-system-libvpx in order to use this version.
Sam - do you have the steps needed to do so?

I will be away from Friday until Sunday, so I might not reply quick over the weekend.
However I will build\test things as soon as possible.

Thanks for the feedback. I still need to patch
xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion. Iceweasel bugginess is because of a
patch I did for mipsel, but the exact cause is still a mystery. I could
go for a working x86 build and no Iceweasel on mipsel, but I'd hate to
do that because it's the only stable browser there.

What was the exact patch you have applied? From our last observations,
compiling --with-system-libvpx could be a workaround when you backport
libvpx. This failed till now. Have you already tried libvpx_1.4.0-4.dsc?

Also afair GCC needs to be patched:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50380

So the next steps would be to try to build latest libvpx to check if gcc
patches are still required. If they are required, we need to apply them
and rebuild the whole stuff.

First of all I want to say 'hi', and that I really appreciate all the
work you all put into gNewSense.

Today after talking on Gnusocial with Marcus I decided to install the
latest gNewSense on my lemote.
I figured I could share what I did:

I loaded the setup over tftp.
The installer image I used was this:
http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/dists/ucclia/main/installer-mipsel/4.0-alpha1/images/loongson-2f/netboot/

A couple of things during setup:
1) Not able to start wifi during setup of network during install.
2) Full disk encryption works now (it did not work in previous release
on mipsel).
3) selected : debian desktop environment, ssh server, laptop and
standard system utilities.

First boot after install -- blinking cursor, removed this package:
'apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion'
reboot the machine,
boots up fine.

Desktop works with classic mode during login.
Wifi works fine when on desktop has been started

Iceweasel has the same issues on mipsel as on x64\i386, tab issue,
context menu etc.
