kedarsis the samba package for ubuntu-arm built with "--disable-largefile", how can I find out?07:57
kedarsif that option is not set, there is a problem seen while copying large files where it dumps the error "Network name no longer exists"07:58
kblinyou could check the rules dir in the package08:17
kblinsource package, that is08:18
kblinkedars: or you can run smdb -b :)08:35
kedarskblin: thanks :) I'll look at it08:47
kblinogra: just to pick up where I left off yesterday, even if I supply my bb with power from my PC's USB port instead of from the powered hub things seem to blow up12:19
kblinogra: how many amps does your psu put out?12:19
ographew, no idea12:19
ogra0.5 or 1 i guess i dont have it handy12:20
amitkkblin: what board is this?12:20
ograbeagle12:21
kblinyeah, a B6 beagle12:21
kblinI'm seeing the same issues on a C3 beagle as well12:23
amitksince the usb port can't output more than 500mA, that is probably what the PSU outputs12:24
kblinyeah, I guess so12:38
kblinanyway, it seems like using an external power source for the board didn't help with the flaky disk drive issue12:39
kblinand I can't test if the angstrom 2.6.28 kernel fixes the issue because angstrom refuses to boot at all12:40
kblinthe joys of being at the bleeding edge, I guess12:40
kblinI hope the sheeva will cause less fuss12:40
loologra: Do you know how to build your own dove kernel from git?12:57
ogralool, no, i used the huge ugly patchset for mine with an upstream tarball12:58
loolI don't understand12:58
ogralool, but afaik bjf should have somethng basically ready in his tree12:58
ogralool, we had the patchset against 2.6.3012:59
loolok so you do know how to build the dove kernel from sources?12:59
ograi downloaded a tarball from kernel.org, applied the patchset and applied the defconfig for Y012:59
ograand then used amits reciepe to roll a zImage with codesourcery12:59
=== cbrake_away is now known as cbrake
loologra: So you do know how to build a kernel from source?13:00
ogramake uImage you mean ?13:00
loolYes13:00
loolSometimes it feels I'm speaking chinese  :)13:01
ograyes, took me a while to adjust all vars for codesourcery iirc13:01
loologra: Would you be able to build an uImage from latest tip of ubuntu-karmic.git's arm branch?13:01
ograwell, i dont get what you are targeting, indeed i know how to type make13:01
ograi can try that, do you have the runes for the right git branch for me ?13:03
ograis it just "arm" ?13:03
loologra: Actually wrong branch hold on13:04
ograhrm, why do we call one "arm" and the other has a vendor and SoC name ?13:04
loolI see the commit isn't there13:04
loologra: Ah you wonder as well13:04
ograi see a lot of dove stuff in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/arm13:04
loolIt's a well garded secreat13:04
loolwarning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.13:04
* lool sighs13:04
ograoh man13:04
ograChanged package name to linux-arm ???13:05
* ogra shakes head ... 13:05
loologra: So you want another tree actually13:05
loolbjf didn't merge it yet13:06
ograyeah, looks like13:06
loolYou want ubuntu:marvell/dove-kernel/.git13:06
loolmarvell-dove-2.6.31-rc4 branch13:06
lool(Don't ask)13:06
loologra: Would you be able to build an uImage from there and see whether that fixes the unstability issues13:06
loologra: Actually I'm starting to wonder whether NCommander should do it since he does Marvell stuff13:07
ograhe should, but i dont know if he will be around13:07
loolwhy not?13:07
ograi need to set up my dove again anyway and while waiting for rtg to finish the imx51 meta i can well do something different13:07
ograhe said something about driving to/from his parents the beginning of the week13:08
loolHmm ok13:08
loolBut we're like Tuesday13:08
ogranot sure that applied only to monday or to more days13:08
ograi'm never sure when he says something like that13:08
amitkogra: the 'arm' branch will get renamed to mrv-dove13:08
ograamitk, ah13:08
amitkbjf is working on cleaning it up, rebasing, fixing up the configs, etc.13:10
* ogra sighs about git13:15
ogragit is like latin ... i know why i had french at school ...13:18
kblinnah13:23
kblinyou can actually learn git in under three years13:23
ograheh13:23
kblinand once you learned it, it's useful13:23
ogranow thats something i doubt13:23
loologra: You're stuck?13:24
kblinat least for me it is. most projects I work on use it13:24
ograno, but it seems to take the rest of the day to check out13:24
ograReceiving objects:  17%13:24
loologra: You don't have any other linux tree around?13:24
ogranot a git one13:25
loolI use git clone --reference ~/git/linux/torvalds/linux-2.6 ubuntu:marvell/dove-kernel/.git13:25
ograi usually use trabals, that have striped git afaik13:25
ogra*stripped13:25
ograsigh, what am i typing today13:25
loologra: I recommend you keep at least one git tree around13:25
ograi usually refuse to use git, but if you think it helps :)13:26
loologra: You can download a tarball from the tip of that branch from kernel.u.c if you like13:26
ograwell, its at 30% now ... i'll just leave it running and wont wipe it13:27
ograamitk, do you have any idea if the packaging of that branch is actually properly adjusted for uboot already (running make uImage instead of zImage) ?13:29
ograif not we should do that13:30
amitkogra: uImage is actually supported in upstream kernels IIRC13:30
amitkit just requires uboot-tools or some such thing to be installed13:30
ograyes, i know i build them like that if i dont use debuild13:30
ograi was talking about the package13:30
amitkogra: oh, that is yet to be fixed. bjf knows about it though.13:30
ograit should depend on uboot-mkimage and run make uImage by default13:30
ograah, k13:30
ograi just wanted to know what it spits out in the end13:31
ogralool, do you have an idea why NCommander needed to run initramfs through uboot-mkimage to make it work ? i have never seen that13:32
loologra: Just run make uImage instead of make zImage13:33
ogralool, well, i was attempting to run debuild :)13:33
ogra(once its downloaded)13:33
loologra: NCommander says we want to pack the initramfs with the kernel in a single uboot image; I don't think we want that13:33
ograright13:33
loologra: You can't debuild from the marvell tree I think13:34
ograto me he was talking about uInitrd or something13:34
ograthe commit logs looked like it, we'll see, i'll take a look at the debian dir before firing off the build13:34
ograogra@osiris:/var/build/kernel/git/ubuntu-karmic$ grep Package debian/control.d/flavour-control.stub13:46
ograPackage: linux-mrv-dove-PKGVER-ABINUM-FLAVOUR13:46
ograwell looks like it at least knows about a binary package13:46
ograhrm, there doesnt seem to be any config in the packagin13:58
ograg13:58
ogralool, any special config you like me to use ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/251347/14:00
ograi'll just go with dove_defconfig if you dont suggest anything different14:00
loologra: Not for this testing14:01
loolThe only changes are code changes14:01
ograok14:01
ograah, NCommander is around14:03
ogragah, make oldconfig asks a million of questions14:04
* ogra just hits enter on all of them for now14:05
ograassuming the defaults are ok14:05
mcasadevallogra, we have dove kernels :-)?14:09
ogramcasadevall, a tree14:09
ogramcasadevall, http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/arm/dove/ if you want to test a binary14:16
mcasadevallogra, from our kernel team?14:17
mcasadevallwoo!14:17
ograjust built from our tree, yes14:17
ograno idea how well it works, there were some config questions i just hit enter on without caring much14:18
ogramcasadevall, would be nice if you could give it a shot, i have to wire up my HW first14:20
mcasadevallogra, you built targetting the Y0, right?14:21
ograi used defconfig_dove, should work14:21
mcasadevallogra, that doesn't tell me if your getting the Y0 or Z0 board ;-)14:35
ograthere is no specific Y0 config so it should be fine14:36
ograjust try it please14:36
mcasadevallogra, I am, just give me a bit to get my board setup again14:37
* mcasadevall is still digging for his USB-serial adapter14:37
ograheh, well, then i can do it myself14:37
* ogra was hoping you had yours set up already14:37
mcasadevallogra, mine is setup, but I took its ethernet and serial-USB adapter before I left to Berlin14:37
mcasadevallI got in about 03:00 his morning, so I went to bed after sending the IRC mobile meeting email14:38
loologra: Instead of hitting enter use silentoldconfig14:45
loologra: Did you pass ARCH=arm?14:45
ogralool, ok, next build14:45
ograindeed i did14:45
ograelse the crosscompiler would freak out ;)14:45
