devshell not working with screen remote shell

devshell not working with screen remote shell

[Marco Cavallini]

devshell is not working when you run bitbake in a screen remote ssh shell
(also potest here http://bugs.openembedded.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5084)


$ bitbake -cdevshell bluez-utils

I already tried to solve this time ago using different option in bitbake
code
(trying to activate xterm instead of the default x terminal) and trying
to set
DISPLAY and xauth in several ways without success.

You might want to add this to your local.conf

TERMCMD = "${SCREEN_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN = "${SCREEN_TERMCMDRUN}"

devshell will open in a new screen session, witch you can attach to
manually.

Siebren,
thank you for answering.
I am using a remote ssh connection to the OE development server and I
use screen package inside it.
I tried adding your lines and now the build stops here

 NOTE: package bluez-utils-3.36-r5: task do_devshell: started

but nothing happens.

Are you using this with the same conditions (remote ssh + screen) or
locally?

I already tried all the available option witout success.
Maybe I'm the only using a remote ssh shell + screen... :-(


# Some common terminal programs to choose from
GNOME_TERMCMD = 'gnome-terminal --disable-factory -t "$TERMWINDOWTITLE"'
GNOME_TERMCMDRUN = '${GNOME_TERMCMD} -x $SHELLCMDS'
SCREEN_TERMCMD = 'screen -D -m -t "$TERMWINDOWTITLE"'
SCREEN_TERMCMDRUN = '${SCREEN_TERMCMD} $SHELLCMDS'
XTERM_TERMCMD = 'xterm -T "$TERMWINDOWTITLE"'
XTERM_TERMCMDRUN = '${XTERM_TERMCMD} -e $SHELLCMDS'
KONSOLE_TERMCMD = 'konsole -T "$TERMWINDOWTITLE"'
KONSOLE_TERMCMDRUN = '${KONSOLE_TERMCMD} -e $SHELLCMDS'

Hi Marco,

That's correct, I do use a similar setup.

After you get the message 'task-do_devshell: started', you should open a new
ssh session to your server (in a different console) and you can see there
with 'screen -list' that a new screen session has opened, next to the first
screen session where you executed the bitbake command. Attach to the new
screen session (screen -r). Then you've arrived in the devshell.

When you're ready in the devshell, close it with exit, and the bitbake in
your first screen session will continue .

[Sledz, Steffen]

I'm not sure if this problem is solved meanwhile. If so and the solution is interesting for other people please describe it in the FAQ part of the new devshell page in the wiki.

Thx,
