Problem
iscsitarget-dkms_1.4.20.3+svn499-0ubuntu2_all.deb

Fails to build with the 3.10.82+ kernel and headers on a XU4.

I installed the ubuntu-14.04lts-server-odroid-xu3-20150725.img image
Moved the root to /dev/sda2 (I have a cloudshell)
Enabled the LCD with the settings according to the wiki pages

apt-get install linux-headers-armhf-odroid-xu3
apt-get install linux-image-armhf-odroid-xu3
reboot

The lcd works fine.

When I tried to install the iscsitarget-dkms package I received the following error.

It seems some of the files are missing in the kernel headers.

Can someone help me fix this?

Ok got come steps further in the build process of the dkms driver.

Code: Select all

cd /root
mkdir src
cd src
git clone https://github.com/hardkernel/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout odroidxu3-3.10.y
ln -s /root/src/linux/arch/arm/mach-exynos/include/mach/ /usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.82+/arch/arm/include/
ln -s /root/src/linux/arch/arm/mach-exynos/include/mach/ /usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.82+/arch/arm/include/

The kernel header package is really missing a lot of files.

Still not compiling though and that is probably due to a patch not being applied because of the + in the version number.

Trying the unstable package

Code: Select all

dpkg -i iscsitarget_1.4.20.3+svn502-2ubuntu2_armhf.deb iscsitarget-dkms_1.4.20.3+svn502-2ubuntu2_all.deb

is not compiling either.

Code: Select all

/var/lib/dkms/iscsitarget/1.4.20.3+svn502/build/kernel/iscsi.c:986:7: error: ‘SERVICE_ACTION_IN_16’ undeclared (first use in this function)

ok lessons learned here. The kernel headers are missing files to compile dkms drivers.

Adding a + to the version number of the kernel really messes up things.

Things to get it running.

Code: Select all

apt-get install iscsitarget iscsitarget-dkms

after that fails patch the dkms.conf file in var/lib/dkms/iscsitarget/1.4.20.3+svn499/source

change

Code: Select all

PATCH_MATCH[0]="(2\.6\.(9|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39)|3\.(0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12)\.0)"

then run following commands.

Code: Select all

dkms build -m iscsitarget -v 1.4.20.3+svn499
dkms install -m iscsitarget -v 1.4.20.3+svn499

Do not forget the kernel source and symlinks I used in the previous post.

Thanks for the feedback, I was actually trying to fix the header issue, but it turns out, i placed the missing headers in the wrong directory.
My next headers will have this fixed.
The version 3.10.82+ comes from the sources from HardKernel.. I don't understand why they are having this "+" in their version number, it caused me quite some trouble already.

wdl1908 · Unread post by **wdl1908** » Wed Sep 30, 2015 4:39 am

Looking forward to the update. With the manual intervention I did I finally got the iscsi target running on the cloudshell and it's working great.

new Kernel + Headers for X, X2, U2/U3 and XU3/XU4 available.
I already have new C1 Kernel+Header ready as well, but didn't have time to test them yet. Gonna upload them after i tested them

hey @meveric ,

how do i convert from using the odroid-utility to the kernel from your repo? it seems i am getting errors like :

Code: Select all

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-armhf-odroid-xu3 : Depends: linux-image-3.10.92+ but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-xu3 : Conflicts: linux-image-3.10.82-39 but 20150710 is to be installed
                   Conflicts: linux-image-3.10.92-64 but 20151123 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

meveric · Unread post by **meveric** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 11:48 pm

first remove the already installed Kernel and Meta packages.
Check the output of:

Code: Select all

dpkg --list | grep "linux-image"

to find what packages are currently installed.
Remove all packages (DO NOT RESTART

) with:

Code: Select all

apt-get remove <package-name>

Then install linux-image-armhf-odroid-xu3 it should pull linux-image-3.10.92+ automatically and after that's installed you should be safe to reboot.
Check the output of the command first. Could be that some leftover files are "blocking" the install. If so, please post here before restarting, or send me a PM (I get notification for these and can normally answer rather quickly).

Hey buddy,
I have two questions, first would it fine if I used your repository on my distribution?

Second, is there a way to make Debian prefer a certain repository over the other when there are some conflicts in name, for example one package is present on both repositories and I want OS to look first for packages in my repository in case names are conflicting.

You have such great X11 applications there, keep it up!
Thank you for all your work man,

I don't think that's a good idea, you're having some packages that are similar to mine, or are already copies of my packages/work and they might conflict with the packages from my repository.
It's not only names of packages but also dependencies, that might cause conflicts.

In fact it would be much better the other way around. Using My image/repository as a basis and only using your repository as an addon for the few packages that might not be available in my repository.

I see, you spoke enough to express your true self. But wow, you're really sad, for god sake why do you think that your the only one who can compile "ready-to-use" code from sources, I am just wondering right now why are you trying to make it seem like I copied your packages, I will just state that this isn't true so you don't confuse people.

Thank you again for your work buddy, you might be self-obsessed but I still appreciate the time you put into this, I just wanted to collaborate and unify efforts of community, I guess that you have just explained why there is no need.

It's sad to see that you don't understand this.
It has nothing to do with who's able to compile "ready-to-use" packages from source. It's simply the fact, that I offer much more packages than you are and most of the Packages you offer already existing in my library as well. It's simple math to see, that it's much easier to use a larger library as a basis and making sure the smaller library does not cause conflicts, than the other way around.

I never said you can't build your own image. You could still have build your own image, just used my repository as a basis instead and just add the packages you are missing or are not satisfied with. This could have been much easier for you as well.

Besides that, "collaboration" works in two directions, it doesn't mean everyone has only to give you. That's not how collaboration works.

updated emulationstation-odroid package
in jessie/main package list
-> workaround for unreliable recovery of EmulationStation
A script is testing if EmulationStation was able to recover after the exit of an emulator/game, IF NOT it will restart EmulationStation completely after a few seconds (making sure EmulationStation can be used as a Frontend without manual interaction to restart EmulationStation)
updated Setup ODROID GameStation Turbo package
- fixed some issues with EmulationStation configuration
- added patch for XU3 boot.ini (thought it was already part of the last image)
- added support for Attract-Mode frontend (first try)
- reorganized zram scripts
- added some optimization for Chromium Browser
- changed some dependencies
- fixed issues with retroarch configuration for retroarch 1.3.x
updated retroarch-odroid package
in jessie/main package list
-> in sync with retroarch 1.3.1 (although still shown as 1.3.0)
I'm still not satisfied with retroarch 1.3.x everything seems to be a little bit more buggy and slower
The UI speed dropped a lot for me, the system doesn't seem to recognize NEON extension anymore

Hi meveric,

Little off topic here but what was the fix you applied to libqtxcb.so to fix the EGL config error for the XU3?
I want to recreate it for Qt 5.4 because that's the version installed with Ubuntu 15.10.
I tried to use your package but it's built for Qt 5.3 so it complains about not being able to find an appropriate platform file.

Thanks for your help and all the hard work you've done!

meveric · Unread post by **meveric** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 4:52 pm

There are some posts on the forum that discuss how to fix Qt5, but I can search the changed code in my sources and can send you a pm on that

spymastermatt · Unread post by **spymastermatt** » Sat Feb 13, 2016 6:08 pm

meveric · Unread post by **meveric** » Sun Feb 14, 2016 1:50 am

Well, I was creating my fix from the forums posts.. but it's been a while and I can't tell which one it was

meveric · Unread post by **meveric** » Sun Feb 14, 2016 5:10 am

There is no single patch.. problem is you have to adjust it for each version of Qt since the function where the fix needs to be applied differs from version to version.
At the right spot you have to force return visualId;
And as I said it should already have been discussed in the forums, I did not come up with this patch, but used infos from the forum.

I haven't had much time the last two weeks, being on business trip and doing other things, but there were a few changes, that I haven't reported yet.
Mostly concerning C2 and arm64 support

recent changes:

updated Kernel and Header packages for ODROID XU3/XU4
in all/xu3 package list
-> updated it a couple of times with latest fixed from HardKernel and @moon.linux with black screen fix
Thanks for all the effort put into fixing this issue
updated Kernel and Header packages for ODROID U2/U3
in all/u package list
-> Added algif_skcipher module for cryptsetup and dm-crypt support
new packages Kernel and Header packages for ODROID C2
in all/c2 package list
-> same as for all other boards I added the Kernel and Header files needed to run the board with some custom modifications as usual.
can be installed via:
Code: Select all
```
# Headers
apt-get install linux-headers-arm64-odroid-c2
# Kernel
apt-get install linux-image-arm64-odroid-c2
```
new package libgl-odroid:arm64
in all/testing package list
-> GLshim wrapper for arm64
new package libglues-odroid:arm64
in all/testing package list
-> GLU-ES wrapper for arm64
new package mali450-odroid:arm64
in jessie/main package list
-> C2 GPU drivers, currently only fbdev drivers (I might change this later when X11 drivers are available and probably offer X11 and fbdev drivers)
new package SDL2 arm64 libraries
in jessie/main package list
-> arm64 version of SDL2 with changes from memeka for mali-fbdev drivers (will automatically replace standard libsdl2 drivers from Debian Jessie).
new package emulationstation-odroid:arm64
in jessie/main package list
-> arm64 version of EmulationStation frontend for ODROID C2 (works with fbdev drivers)
new package moonlight-embedded:arm64
in jessie/main package list
-> arm64 version moonlight gamestreaming (right now without frontend) using fbdev drivers
seems to work fine in 30 FPS but not with 60 FPS.

With all those odroid devices have you tried distcc or icecream?

Just adding one xu3/4 would decrease that to probably 5 hours, assuming you're using one U3.

could help, problem is, I have a very large build environment, with harddrives directly attached to the ODROIDs, with a library of over 400GB for all the projects i maintain and compile, you can't run that stuff directly on an SD/eMMC anymore.
And any SD/eMMC card wouldn't survive that level of compiling that I'm doing

I haven't tried distcc yet to see if that would gain me anything.

Also there are other issues.. I'm running out of LAN ports for example and power plugs, I have already 12 LAN ports in use with a 8 Port GigaBit switch and a 4 Port WLAN GiGabit Router. Some of the ODROIDs already run over WLAN.
Also the XU3/XU4 are known to run hot very quickly and start to throttle, which in the end would make them much slower than my overclocked U3

Also XU3/XU4 are not that reliable, I had compiled stuff on the XU3/XU4 in the past and sometimes these boards froze, in worst case that would mean I would have to start all over again.

Right now compiling on the U3 (and on the C2 for arm64) is the best for me and working very reliable.

Could be worse, if I would have to use a C1, it would probably take several days

exactly

One day, when I'm gonna be big, I'm gonna build a good network and powerplug system at home, so I never have issues like this again

Maybe I should add a solar plant only for powering all the ODROIDs I have?

new package libcrossguid0:arm64
in jessie/backports package list
-> cross platform UUID library
required for Kodi 16
new package libcrossguid0-dev:arm64
in jessie/backports package list
-> cross platform UUID library - Header files
required for Kodi 16
new package libdcadec0:arm64
in jessie/backports package list
-> DTS Coherent Acoustics decoder
required for Kodi 16
new package libdcadec0-dev:arm64
in jessie/backports package list
-> DTS Coherent Acoustics decoder - Header files
required for Kodi 16
new package kodi-odroid:arm64
in jessie/main package list
-> Kodi 16 for ODROID C2
Please note: right now this package lacks all HW video acceleration, so purely decoding on the CPU.
The C2 is similar to the performance of the U3, means you can watch up to 1080p H264 videos software decoded, but h265 (HEVC) won't work
right now this all is still somewhat experimental, but I could watch Big Buck Bunny in 1080p without major issues.
updated setup-ogst-odroid package
in jessie/main package list
- added scummvm as dependency optimized for OpenGL ES using GLshim for scaling (replacing old 1.3.1 package from Debian Wheezy)
- added config file for OGST
- added toggle for RCB (activate/deactivate autostart)
- fixed an issue where on update the settings for RCB autostart was overwritten each time
- removed some leftover files from zram
updated ogst-starters-kodi package
in jessie/main package list
- changed settings for ScummVM to use new ScummVM version with OpenGL (ES) for scaling
- fixing an issue with antimicro, which would prevent restart and shutoff of the system
- adding a fix for Kodi which should make sure Kodi always returns to fullscreen after a game is ended

A a new driver for the Xbox 360 wireless controller!!!

Does that fix the issue with the blinking leds on the Xbox 360 wireless?

meveric · Unread post by **meveric** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 8:42 am

yes, but I'm not sure to what extend you can use this.. I had bad experience on my images with it in the past. If the controller goes to sleep it gets unregistered and if you turn it back on not everything can catch up again.
I had issues with XBMC/Kodi and retroarch in the past, but if you start everything manually it might work for you.

tipoto · Unread post by **tipoto** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 10:07 am

I will do a backup first, just in case, then I'll give it a try.
I already have problems with the current driver, when I turn on a controller after booting or after it went to sleep, some crazy things happen, it's like the controller is pressing all the buttons at the same time and it does that multiple times during maybe one second. So from the frontend it launches a random game and if I'm in a game, it exits it because the combination of buttons to return to the frontend is pressed.
