Re: Can httpd collect data from target ?

Basically you have two options: Use a cronjob to collect data every few minutes and replace some place holders in a template to create a static HTML page with proper values. Or create a CGI script or binary and use the httpd's CGI handler to run this script binary each time it is called.

Hi Timo, I do not see too much difference between our approaches. If your patches did make it to BusyBox or if I ever heard about them I probably never thought about mine. Regarding Simons approach of centering the image I think it makes most sense to just take most of the calculation logic to userland scripts. BusyBox provides us with expr and well working shells, so saying "position the image 100px above center line and 200px left" will not take up too much memory and will be just calculated once and then written to the config file - as soon as the framebuffer is available. Maybe it is desired to specify the foreground colors and the gradient of the progress bar? Should it take too much memory I'd happily add some configuration option for those at build time.

Hi everyone,
I maintain a few (commercial) live distributions and have to fulfil
the need of a few customers for a nice graphical boot splash.
Unfortunately busybox' fbsplash was too unflexible, so I added a bit
more configurability:
* Specify a background color which is used to flood the whole screen
before drawing the image and the progress bar
* Specify an x and y offset of the ppm image
* Specify an x or y offset larger than the respective screen size to
move the image to the right or bottom edge of the screen (or
bottom right corner)
The attached patch just re-uses functions already in fbsplash.c and
introduces five more config options, this should result in the same
size of the busybox binary. Even if these config options are not set,
the screen is blanked all black before painting the splash, which
might be desired in most cases (and usually is done by using
fullscreen images).
With the patch I am able to calculate the position of logo and
progress bar by a script before invoking fbsplash and do not have to
add a splash for each and every screen resolution. Initially I was
thinking about adding more options: color of progess bar and the
posibility to specify a gradient, but this might have enlarged the
binary which is not desirable.
I just updated the patch: The calculation for cropping the image was
wrong, the parameter name "IMAGE_WIDTH" proved too long on 32 bit
systems and I added a "NOFILL=1" option. This option allows drawing an
arbitary image to an arbitary position without completely wiping the
framebuffer first. Take a look at the demo script (run with the path to
your busybox binary) as first parameter: The scripts reads the
framebuffer dimensions, creates two config files, paints an image on a
plain background, progress bar and changing icon beneath the progress bar.
The demo script: http://distfiles.lesslinux.org/fbsplash_demo.tar.gz
The patch is attached.

Re: [PATCH] fdisk: Add support for GPT partition type codes
Am 28.11.2016 um 20:53 schrieb Tito: On 11/28/2016 05:42 PM, Simon Rettberg wrote: 27.11.2016, 20:24 +0200, Denys Vlasenko <vda.li...@googlemail.com>: However, I still don't understand how do you use them, apart from seeing them on output. That's pretty much it. Following the same line of argument, you could ask why we have this table in fdisk.c that maps the MBR type ids to their names. They also do nothing except for showing up in the output. Plus, in case bb fdisk will get write support for GPT one day, the table would be even more useful, since you usually just enter the type code in existing GPT editing tools, instead of the full GUID. The utility then just maps the short type code back to the long GUID when writing. Actually, the type codes of GPT are based on the type ids from MBR, so for example HPFS/NTFS is 07 for MBR and 0700 for GPT, Linux Swap is 82 for MBR, 8200 for GPT. Hi, one stupid question, could the 2 tables be merged or reused in some way as they share related values (e.g. 82 and 8200)? During the last weeks I did some tests on dual MBR and GPT partition tables, mainly for building bootable USB thumb drives taht have one partition visible and usable under Windows. If the drive is less than 2TB and four partitions or less are used, it is very easy to use dual partition tables. If more partitions are used or some partitions should only be visible on MBR and others on GPT it gets tricky: Linux for example expects the protective partition to start at the second block, no matter how big the protective partition is and how many partitions follow. If this is the case Linux uses the GPT and ignores the rest of the MBR. Windows however expects a protective partition that spans the whole disk, otherwise it will use the MBR. So if you insert a USB drive with a small protective partition into Windows, Windows will prompt you to format the (unknown) partition. Only OS X ignores any MBR partitioning if a GPT is present. So while theoretically interesting, in practice it does not make sense to sync partition tables. Use GPT on any linux only system (also makes sense on BIOS, albeit a bit more work to boot from), use GPT on any external media. Use GPT on any UEFI system as boot media, and only use MBR on drives with less than 2TB that should boot windows on BIOS (64 bit windows 7 and up should be possible to boot from GPT on BIOS - I did not yet test). Yours, Mattias Ciao, Tito When you send a patch, add a bit of background why do you need this change, and if there were other solutions which at first looked better, but then proved non-workable, mention those too. For example, before I saw your email, I looked at fdisk_gpt.c and decided to simply delete "Code" column on the output. I take it this is not a good idea? Why? Alright, so as mentioned above, those type codes are almost exclusively used when humans are dealing with GPT partitions in any way. Not supporting them in busybox would not mean the end of the world; we could still do everything by reading (and some day writing) type GUIDs directly, at the expense of having to look them up manually every time, unless you can memorize them. As for removing the column: I saw that the formatting of the output looks exactly like that of gdisk, so I assumed the original author of fdisk_gpt.c decided that it would be better to print a dummy value than not having the column at all. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but I don't care about that output format compatibility, so I would be fine with not having that column instead of printing a misleading dummy value; it might actually be the more reasonable choice, since it had me confused for a while before checking the source. A new column showing the GUID directly would be ok with me. I would change my scripts and add a lengthy comment, probably. But showing neither the short code nor the GUID does render the output somewhat useless, just as if MBR mode would not print the type id. ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox -- Mattias Schlenker - Freier IT-Fachredakteur und -autor redakt...@mattiasschlenker.de Mattias Schlenker - IT-Consulting, Softwareentwicklung consult...@mattiasschlenker.de Address__ August-Bebel-Str. 74 - D-04275 LEIPZIG - GERMANY Phone: +49 341 39290767 Fax: +49 341 30393578 Mobile: +49 163 6953657 Another mobile: +49 159 03160327 VATIN_ DE240998538 Fork me! https://github.com/mschlenker Website.__ http://www.mattiasschlenker.de/ My books!___ http://www.arduino-hausautomation.de/ ___

Am 23.03.2017 um 17:32 schrieb Ralf Friedl: Busybox is often used in embedded devices, where kernels (and other software) are not changed that often. Firmware may contain kernel modules without full source, so a change to a newer kernel is not an option. As an example, I have a router with kernel 2.6.13. I can't update the kernel, but I can replace the busybox with a newer version (and much more applets) than the original. So it would be nice to have support for older kernels. I understand that you may not want to have it enabled by default to keep the code small, but in this case the code to support the older kernels seems already present, so why not give the user an option to use it. In my opinion it's completely legitimate to remove support for kernels, C libraries or compilers that are older than seven or eight years. It's not just about keeping (object) code small, but also about keeping (source) code small. However how about maintaining a (semi official) repository of some patches for special use cases like older kernels, compilers or additional features like my nicer looking fbsplash? The people over at xpra are doing so to be able to address some common combinations of compilers and video encoder libraries to escape the #ifdef of menuconfig hell. BTW: You are sticking to an old Fritzbox 7270 since it "just works"?

Seems devtmpfs is not supported by your kernel. Use mknod to create the

After creating the device node with the proper minor major mount will work.

You must specify the type of the filesystem when mounting raw MTD
filesystems.
This is probably jffs2 in your case, though it might also be ubifs. In
case of
ubifs you also need to "attach" the ubi volume before you mount it.

Kernel panic.
This is expected behaviour. The kernel panics when PID 1, your shell,
exits.
The common implementation is to exec the rootfs init from the
initramfs init
script.

Re: Unexpected directory listing line connecting to a BusyBox device
Am 10.06.2018 um 19:18 schrieb Marco Usai: Hello to the whole BusyBox Community! I have a Zyxel AMG1312-T10B device with the latest firmware version that is using BusyBox 1.0 and Dropbear sshd0.52( uname –a command shows: Linux ZyXEL 2.6.22.15 #37 SMP Mon Dec 19 19:09:06 CST 2016 mips unknown) If I try to connect to this device using the latest WinScp version using scp protocols, I receive the following error: Error listing directory ‘/’. Unexpected directory listing line 'drwxr-xr-x12 00156 .'. If I try to connect to this device using the latest SecureFX client using scp protocols, I can only list symlink under / With both clients above and FlashFXP using ftp I receive an error that prevent listing of directory content. I have no problem accessing the device with putty Any suggestion is welcomed. Thank You. Hi Marco, what is your man objective? Putting files to this special device or improving buybox' compatibility with tools that expect a more GNUish behaviour? If you just want to put files to the router, do it with a bit of cat's help, if you do not have a Unix like system handy, run Ubuntu live in a virtual machine or install Microsofts Linux environment for Windows 10: cat local.file | ssh root@zyxel "cat > /remote.file" (it might work with less cats) or a whole folder with tar: tar cvf - folder | ssh root@zyxel "tar xvf -" If you want to improve busybox' compatibility, please test if the mentioned behaviour still exists with the latest stable version of busybox - version 1.0 might be a few years old.

Re: Question: Finding libraries that are required for busybox??
Am 25.06.2018 um 21:01 schrieb Michael D. Setzer II: Using busybox nslookup failed due to one of the libraries I had removed not being there? libnss_dns and libnss_files. ldd busybox doesn't report these libraries are used? Once I put those libraries back, the nslookup resolves. Is there a way to find if there are any other such required libraries rather than having to find an issue at run time? You just ran into one of those culprits using busybox with GNU libc, I guess... These problems are usually reported at compile time.

BusyBox on Windows 10 (WSL)
Hi everyone, did anyone of you start building a BusyBox based minimal distribution for WSL? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/build-custom-distro I think having a musl plus BusyBox based minimal linux running on WSL could be a great way of showcasing BusyBox' abilities on one hand and it could leverage the power of a linux command line without having to download a full fledged distribution. I maintain (updated about once a year) a small distribution that could be used as a starting point for this experiment: https://github.com/mschlenker/TinyCrossLinux - However doing it based on a buildroot target might also work. If someone of you started building BusyBox for WSL I'd happily join, if not, I'll update TinyCrossLinux soon and add WSL as a target there.

Re: Login to the root shell from the serial console
Am 25.06.19 um 13:31 schrieb Vesta: Board with ARM embedded Linux version 2.6.26.5 and Busybox 1.10.2 How to configure Busybox to accept any password when login to the root shell from the serial console? This is some sample inittab from a simple live linux. It runs /etc/rc on system startup, shows some info on the first console, starts two login prompts on tty2 and tty3 and two root shells (one with builtin bash, one with ash) on tty4 and tty5. You'd probably want to build a two line inittab, one with sysinit and one with an askfirst shell on your serial console: ::sysinit:/etc/rc tty1::respawn:/static/bin/show_placeholder tty2::respawn:/static/sbin/getty -l /static/bin/login 38400 tty2 tty3::respawn:/static/sbin/getty -l /static/bin/login 38400 tty3 tty4::askfirst:/static/bin/ash tty5::askfirst:/bin/bash Of course you could also use a login line and build an e/etc/password with an empty hash.

Re: I cannot find latest binaries file(.exe file) of BusyBox

You wrote: I tried to access the URL below, but I cannot access to it successfully. https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/latest/ Yes, that directory doesn't seem to exist. Is there a link to it on the website? If so it should be fixed. Could you kindly tell me how to download latest exe file of BusyBox? Windows 10 版のメールから送信 If you're looking for a Windows executable, they aren't available on the mainstream BusyBox site. Did someone package a static binary (musl) of BusyBox for WSL yet? New builds of Win 10 allow for the import of a "backup" of a linux system atop of WSL from a tarball. This would be a great way of initially distributing busybox for WSL without using the Windows store. Yours, Mattias I maintain a (limited) port of BusyBox for Windows. This web page describes it and has links to executables: https://frippery.org/busybox In particular, the latest binaries are: https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox.exe https://frippery.org/files/busybox/busybox64.exe Hope that helps, Ron ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox -- Mattias Schlenker - Freier IT-Fachredakteur und -autor redakt...@mattiasschlenker.de Mattias Schlenker - IT-Consulting, Softwareentwicklung consult...@mattiasschlenker.de August-Bebel-Str. 74 - D-04275 LEIPZIG - GERMANY https://github.com/mschlenker http://www.mattiasschlenker.de/ http://www.arduino-hausautomation.de/ ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
Re: rustybox, an experimental fork written entirely in Rust
Am 14.11.19 um 23:33 schrieb Markus Gothe: How do you think that fatso library aptly named librust would fit into any modest embedded system? Well it doesn't and you never thought of that in the first place which makes the rest of your assumptions more damaging than any good. [...] Busybox is INTENDED for embedded systems (and without any explanation bounds-checking should be optional etcetera). Feel free to fork it and create a rust variant; but it is all out of the scope of the current purpose. Busybox' popularity is increasing among container folks where it is a building block allowing for small storage footprints and reduced complexity. A rustybox port could take off among the Rust community because it would allow containerizing Rust apps by building a complete container with a single toolchain (Rustybox, Rust app, some shell scripts). I think, the busybox should embrace this as a chance to get attention from developers beyond embedded.
