Ohh, I've never used the initrds on the nightly builds XD I'd imagine you can just login as 'root' with no password.

On which device?

On your virtual machine.

To make sure USB host always works, try reading up http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/Linux#USB

fdisk -l shows nothing, is that normal?  :-\
EDIT: Can't get it to work setting the disk value as /dev/sdb (or sdb1)

I read that article, that is actually why the read light is working again.

Are you running it as root?

Disk /dev/sdb1: 1047 MB, 1047511040 bytes
33 heads, 61 sectors/track, 1016 cylinders, total 2045920 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/sdb1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

Thats correct, as /dev/sdb1 is the first partition. fdisk -l /dev/sda should show the one you're searching for.
You have to use sda on your calc, it doesn't have another HDD :)
If it still doesn't work, run fsck /dev/sda (while not mounted).
You can also try booting into the initrd and mounting the usb drive then.

[Did this last night, was gone all day]
The drive is accessible from Linux when booted with an initrd, and a USB keyboard works. Was able to navigate to the files on the disk and edit them with nano, but running X and xcalc gave an error (something like "file doesn't exist"). Tried a flash drive with a FAT system (inside Linux), that didn't work...

Will try using fsck (I assume you mean in the VM...)

EDIT: After using fsck on the VM the drive still doesn't work. After typing "fsck /dev/sda" before mounting: "fsck: fsck.auto: No such file or directory"

What distro do you use? They f**ked it up.

Then you should be able to use it as root=<drive>. You have to substitue <drive> with exactly the name of your drive you were able to mount.

Sorry about not being clear enough, on the VM fsck worked, but the drive when used as the boot device on the calc still doesn't work.
The fsck: fsck.auto error is from when I tried the same thing on the calc...  :-\

Hmm... I'll try to mount it again to make sure that I'm mounting it right.
Does it make any difference that I have to use "mkdir disk" in media before doing "mount /dev/sda /media/disk" or it gives an error?

EDIT: The device mounts with sda1! I must have had that OTG bug that one time I tried to mount with sda1! Will try to mount it again.

EDIT: IT'S WORKING!!! It's loading now!  :w00t: Thank you!

EDIT: Oops... Typed "X", now there's a blank screen, what do I do now... (other than reboot)

Probably some weird issue with busybox and buildroot.. It ran fine some time ago.

Try "startx". You can type "Ctrl + Alt + F1" on an USB keyboard and press "Ctrl + C" then.

What does Ctrl+Alt+F1 do? I don't have a powered hub yet, but I can try using my dad's unpowered one for now

It takes you to another terminal workspace. Ctrl+Alt+ a number 1-6 take you to terminals, and X sessions generally get hosted on 7 and above (although they occasionally take one of the lower ones)

Do the terminal sessions only operate in X?

It's actually exactly the opposite: An X session can only exist inside of a terminal session.

From what I've read, GCC is not a good compiler to use on the nspire.
What compiler would you use instead?

EDIT: Also, a couple other things:
        1. Is there a way to disable the USB debug messages
        2. Is there a way to change the welcome message right before the "linucx login:"
        3. Is there a way to make the X terminal not extend off the screen
        4. Are the X programs supposed to have windows borders (to move them around and close them)
        5. Is there a way to draw pixels in C or C++ code as of yet
