Build my own Vix image

**Willo3092** · 01-05-24, 08:23

I've managed to create a standalone image with twol's changes to openvix.conf and the static-feeds are excluded

I need to build some feeds now but I'm getting this message after a make update.

Code:

Either 1) commit the changed openvix.conf or 2) rename it to something, run the make update and then delete new and rename yours back(or add changes to the new version)

**Willo3092** · 01-05-24, 09:41

I'll try option 2 for now.
How would I commit the changed file please?

**twol** · 01-05-24, 10:41

Cd into the directory and then git status…shows whats outstanding as a change and then either git add the files as listed by the git status followed by git commit -m “commit message“ or just git commit -a -m “commit message“ … the last commit would commit everything changed… which you might not want to do

**Willo3092** · 01-05-24, 10:45

I keep getting build fails.

We used to be able to use oe-alliance-feeds.bbappend to skip certain things but it doesn't work now.
Is there an alternative?

Let me see your openvix.conf. Looks like you changed to STATIC_FEED = "0" or commented it out. That is wrong.

Is there an alternative?

Also I checked the online source and the checksum is correct so it looks like you got a partial download.

**Willo3092** · 02-05-24, 12:52

All working now. Thanks to all for the help

I ended up removing the USB-SSD drive because it kept setting itself to read only for some reason.
I've created a new ext4 partition and using that to build on.

I've abandoned trying to get rid of static feeds and just set up my own feeds on an ftp server.
I downloaded the Zgemma H7 static feeds (same processor as sf4008) and renamed H7 to sf4008 and all works well now

I added my own and static feeds to site.conf.

I have a workaround now for static but away for a few days so can't post it at the moment.

Is it worth updating Ubuntu from 22.04LTS to 24.04LTS? I remember seeing some people with issues when the 24 first came out, are these now resolved?

**twol** · 02-09-24, 17:26

So because of the pain, I went through with Ubuntu 24.04 (because of this crap system for installing additions) I use Linux Mint (24.04) for my work PC - BUT for building I am using the latest Ubuntu 24.04 and there is an issue introduced by the latest update, which is in our OpenViX README
Ubuntu are unlikely to fix it, as they say its a security issue and not their problem
.. with this change it all works cleanly

5. Disable apparmor profile
Currently due to this Ubuntu/bitbake issue..https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...r/+bug/2056555
This command must be entered after every restart of the build PC....

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

But why is bitbake trying to disable the network?
I just commented out the code in bitbake....(which gives no clue as to why it is trying to do it).

You can also just add a file into /etc/sysctl.d to set this on every boot.

Could that command be added as a systemd or cron job, or something like what is described here -
