Salix Forums

Hi all,
I recently bought a pandaboard and I was wondering if it was on site to develop a version of salix for arm? Maybe in a future not so remote.

Use ARMed Slack and install slapt-get from http://salix.enialis.net/arm/13.37/slapt-get/
We don't have an official arm repo, but I've got a lot of packages for 13.1 and laprjns has built many for 13.37.

EDIT: But you can use our armedslack repo with dep support.

I'm running ARMed Slack 13.37 on three Seagate Dockstars. I've "Salixfied" ARMed Slack by adding slapt-get and spkg from the repo that thenktor mentioned along with an ARM version of slkbuild. From this and with help from a script provided by thenktor I managed to build over 400 packages using the SLKBUILDs from the Salix source repo. I have these all in a slapt-get compatible private repo with dependency checking, but it's not really completed yet and has some bugs. Now I've not been able to test all these packages since the dockstars are not really capable of running X, but if you want to give them a try PM me .

Perfect, slapt-get works well.

I'm trying to install fluxbox using this repositories: http://salix.enialis.net/arm/13.37
What are the packages that I need to install? For the moment I installed Fluxbox and Xorg-server, but startx is not found. Thanks in advance.

I guess you mean this repo: http://salix.enialis.net/arm/armedslack-13.37/
Try to install the xinit package.

Yes, that repository.
I'm having some problems getting a minimal X environment with fluxbox starting from armedslack.
I have also installed xinit, mesa, xf86-input-keyboard/mouse, and xkeyboard-config but whith startx I get: Is there an easier way to get a minimal X environment with fluxbox?
Also with startx the screen goes all black and I can not see the console. I am forced to restart the machine and go to read the logs in /etc/X11/xorg.0.log
The console receives the command, but the screen is black.
Thanks for the help.

Those two should apply to you as well:

Eureka! Now everything works well. I am writing from a Pandaboard with Angstrom kernel and modules, mini-root-fs of ArmedSlack 13.37 and Salix repository (http://salix.enialis.net/arm/armedslack-13.37/). Thanks to everyone

A nice board, though a bit expensive to buy it just for fun. The major drawback I can see is that it does not seem to have a S-ATA connector.
