Hi! I'm running the Debian image that was posted here recently...it's right under my thread. Ok, just a few quick questions: 1. Can I install acpi to get the battery status? 2. What is preventing the unit from shutting down? shutdown -r now just reboots the machine... 3. I cannot see any bootup information; I know it seems odd, but seeing all of that startup noise is comforting. How can I get it back? Thank you! I'm having a ball! :) Josh |

all - I'm running off no sleep, and it shows. please ignore 2 and 3; #2 is behaving exactly the way it should (duh), and I'm guessing the bootup info is going to the serial console. sorry for the noise, I'm going to bed. :) |

Hi Josh, Noticed no one had replied to your thread here, acpi isn't used, however, there *should* be some threads on here about getting the battery status from the command line. I can't recall off the top of my head, but if you run a command similar to what gnome-power-manager runs you can see the info (or upower I guess it is called now; there may even be some cli frontend for upower somewhere.) You're right about number 2, you probably wanted shutdown -h now; You can also just run "poweroff", shutdown -h now is good habit though as not all unix derivatives have poweroff. For #3, you will have to modify the boot.script file in /boot. You want to change console=${console} (or it may explicitly say console=ttymxc0,115200 to console=tty1 in the boot line, and then re-run prep-kernel 2.6.31.14.XX-efikamx to regenerate the boot.scr file. (XX is the last tuple of the kernel version which I believe on the latest armhf is offering 2.6.31.14.27-efikamx) But the easiest way to check is to run uname -r. You may want to also remove the quiet option if it's there. |
