I’m trying to install the linux source for FX30-CATM (Release R11.0.0.007 + Legato 18.09.4) on Ubuntu 20.04 using the command: `leaf getsrc swi-linux` the install fails because the source references two packages that are no longer available: `python-git` and `repo`, so the install fails with: ``` Hit:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease Hit:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease Hit:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates InRelease Hit:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease Hit:5 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease Hit:6 https://downloads.sierrawireless.com/tools/debian release/ InRelease Reading package lists...

how about getting the yocto source directly from here?

Unfortunately I have a WP77 based Cat-M FX30, all the software for that device on SW’s site seem to be already compiled (\*.CWE) files. I need to be able to recompile the linux distro to enable some specific functionality. I was able to do this using leaf with the previous R9.x version but now I need some GPIO fixes in the R11 version. ---

You can get the WP77 R11 yocto source here: [https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/wp77xx/wp77xx-firmware-release-11-components/#sthash.xB8xFhoC.dpbs](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/wp77xx/wp77xx-firmware-release-11-components/#sthash.xB8xFhoC.dpbs) here shows on fixing the repo: [https://www.xspdf.com/resolution/20120067.html](https://www.xspdf.com/resolution/20120067.html) ---

@jyijyi Thanks for the help, but I don’t think I can use the source you linked as it doesn’t have the `meta-columbia-x` recipes that are needed for the FX-30 device I’m using. I also couldn’t figure out how to make the repo fixes via the link you provided. I decided to go back to the same version of linux that I had successfully built the R9 sources on: Ubuntu 16.04. I now get further but get a different error when I use the `leaf getsrc` command: ``` Run sync steps for fx30-catm-linux-src_R11.0.0.007 Ready to sync in /home//myWorkspace/swi-linux-src directory: repo init -u ssh://@gerrit.legato.io:29418/manifest -m mdm9x06/tags/SWI9X06Y_02.22.12.00/linux.xml -g default,-cache ; repo sync Proceed?

Seems there is some problem on your python version, I am using the following on Ubuntu 16.04 and I can download the yocto source of swi-fx30-catm\_2.0.0 by Leaf: python3 --version Python 3.6.12 ---

I’ve tried that python version and still no success although the errors received are different. Also have tried Ubuntu 18.04 and received the same errors. ---

Finally got this to work! In case anyone’s interested here was my solution: Set python symbolic link to point to python 3: `sudo rm /usr/bin/python` `sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python` Back-up copy of /usr/bin/repo: `sudo cp /usr/bin/repo /usr/bin/repo.bak` Download copy of `repo` from [https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo](https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo) to `/usr/bin/repo` replacing original `/usr/bin/repo` Ran `leaf getsrc swi-linux` and got this error: ``` Downloading manifest from ssh://david.churchill@thingtech.com@gerrit.legato.io:29418/manifest Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 627, in _Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 601, in _Main result = run() File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 594, in run = lambda: repo._Run(name, gopts, argv) or 0 File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 260, in _Run result = cmd.Execute(copts, cargs) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/subcmds/init.py", line 519, in Execute self._SyncManifest(opt) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/subcmds/init.py", line 220, in _SyncManifest default_branch = m.ResolveRemoteHead() File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/project.py", line 1914, in ResolveRemoteHead output = self.bare_git.ls_remote('-q', '--symref', '--exit-code', name, 'HEAD') File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/project.py", line 3034, in runner (self._project.name, name, p.stderr)) error.GitError: manifests ls-remote: usage: git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--upload-pack=] [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [ [...]] ``` Opened `/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/project.py` and put the following line in at line #3026:`print("Name: {} args: {}".format(name, args))` Re-ran leaf getsrc swi-linux and got this error: ``` Name: var args: ('GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT',) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 627, in _Main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 601, in _Main result = run() File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 594, in run = lambda: repo._Run(name, gopts, argv) or 0 File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/main.py", line 260, in _Run result = cmd.Execute(copts, cargs) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/subcmds/init.py", line 524, in Execute self._ConfigureUser(opt) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/subcmds/init.py", line 380, in _ConfigureUser name = self._Prompt('Your Name', mp.UserName) File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/project.py", line 613, in UserName self._LoadUserIdentity() File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/project.py", line 626, in _LoadUserIdentity u = self.bare_git.var('GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT') File "/home/dcchurchill/myWorkspace/swi-linux-src/.repo/repo/project.py", line 3035, in runner (self._project.name, name, p.stderr)) error.GitError: manifests var: *** Please tell me who you are.
