Also, sudo will break this script if you do not run it with an absolute path. I will word this appropriately and reassign when finished. 79267 1 juro.bystricky 2018-01-29 22:06:46 +0000 and also the help message should not assume/display UID/GID=1000/1000 but display the actual UID/GID. 80582 2 stephano 2018-05-15 10:02:26 +0000 Scott, Please change the following text in the mega-manual: Run as root the script in scripts/runqemu-gen-tapdevs, which should generate a list of tap devices. This is the option typically chosen for Autobuilder-type environments. We need to add to bullet points: --Be sure to use an absolute path when calling this script with sudo. --The package recipe `qemu-helper-native` is required to run this script. Build it with `bitbake qemu-helper-native`. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! 80583 3 srifenbark 2018-05-15 10:17:28 +0000 Stephano, See https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#qemu-image-enabling-tests and let me know if this is good. There was no change in what you had for that first paragraph and what was already in the manual. I added the two bullet points in a note. Scott 80584 4 stephano 2018-05-15 10:24:43 +0000 Looks perfect, thanks! 80585 5 srifenbark 2018-05-15 10:29:48 +0000 Thanks, I set the doc flag to "done" as well. Scott
