[07:57] <kedars> is the samba package for ubuntu-arm built with "--disable-largefile", how can I find out?
[07:58] <kedars> if that option is not set, there is a problem seen while copying large files where it dumps the error "Network name no longer exists"
[08:17] <kblin> you could check the rules dir in the package
[08:18] <kblin> source package, that is
[08:35] <kblin> kedars: or you can run smdb -b :)
[08:47] <kedars> kblin: thanks :) I'll look at it
[12:19] <kblin> ogra: 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 up
[12:19] <kblin> ogra: how many amps does your psu put out?
[12:19] <ogra> phew, no idea
[12:20] <ogra> 0.5 or 1 i guess i dont have it handy
[12:20] <amitk> kblin: what board is this?
[12:21] <ogra> beagle
[12:21] <kblin> yeah, a B6 beagle
[12:23] <kblin> I'm seeing the same issues on a C3 beagle as well
[12:24] <amitk> since the usb port can't output more than 500mA, that is probably what the PSU outputs
[12:38] <kblin> yeah, I guess so
[12:39] <kblin> anyway, it seems like using an external power source for the board didn't help with the flaky disk drive issue
[12:40] <kblin> and I can't test if the angstrom 2.6.28 kernel fixes the issue because angstrom refuses to boot at all
[12:40] <kblin> the joys of being at the bleeding edge, I guess
[12:40] <kblin> I hope the sheeva will cause less fuss
[12:57] <lool> ogra: Do you know how to build your own dove kernel from git?
[12:58] <ogra> lool, no, i used the huge ugly patchset for mine with an upstream tarball
[12:58] <lool> I don't understand
[12:58] <ogra> lool, but afaik bjf should have somethng basically ready in his tree
[12:59] <ogra> lool, we had the patchset against 2.6.30
[12:59] <lool> ok so you do know how to build the dove kernel from sources?
[12:59] <ogra> i downloaded a tarball from kernel.org, applied the patchset and applied the defconfig for Y0
[12:59] <ogra> and then used amits reciepe to roll a zImage with codesourcery
=== cbrake_away is now known as cbrake
[13:00] <lool> ogra: So you do know how to build a kernel from source?
[13:00] <ogra> make uImage you mean ?
[13:00] <lool> Yes
[13:01] <lool> Sometimes it feels I'm speaking chinese  :)
[13:01] <ogra> yes, took me a while to adjust all vars for codesourcery iirc
[13:01] <lool> ogra: Would you be able to build an uImage from latest tip of ubuntu-karmic.git's arm branch?
[13:01] <ogra> well, i dont get what you are targeting, indeed i know how to type make
[13:03] <ogra> i can try that, do you have the runes for the right git branch for me ?
[13:03] <ogra> is it just "arm" ?
[13:04] <lool> ogra: Actually wrong branch hold on
[13:04] <ogra> hrm, why do we call one "arm" and the other has a vendor and SoC name ?
[13:04] <lool> I see the commit isn't there
[13:04] <lool> ogra: Ah you wonder as well
[13:04] <ogra> i see a lot of dove stuff in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/arm
[13:04] <lool> It's a well garded secreat
[13:04] <lool> warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
[13:04]  * lool sighs
[13:04] <ogra> oh man
[13:05] <ogra> Changed package name to linux-arm ???
[13:05]  * ogra shakes head ... 
[13:05] <lool> ogra: So you want another tree actually
[13:06] <lool> bjf didn't merge it yet
[13:06] <ogra> yeah, looks like
[13:06] <lool> You want ubuntu:marvell/dove-kernel/.git
[13:06] <lool> marvell-dove-2.6.31-rc4 branch
[13:06] <lool> (Don't ask)
[13:06] <lool> ogra: Would you be able to build an uImage from there and see whether that fixes the unstability issues
[13:07] <lool> ogra: Actually I'm starting to wonder whether NCommander should do it since he does Marvell stuff
[13:07] <ogra> he should, but i dont know if he will be around
[13:07] <lool> why not?
[13:07] <ogra> i need to set up my dove again anyway and while waiting for rtg to finish the imx51 meta i can well do something different
[13:08] <ogra> he said something about driving to/from his parents the beginning of the week
[13:08] <lool> Hmm ok
[13:08] <lool> But we're like Tuesday
[13:08] <ogra> not sure that applied only to monday or to more days
[13:08] <ogra> i'm never sure when he says something like that
[13:08] <amitk> ogra: the 'arm' branch will get renamed to mrv-dove
[13:08] <ogra> amitk, ah
[13:10] <amitk> bjf is working on cleaning it up, rebasing, fixing up the configs, etc.
[13:15]  * ogra sighs about git
[13:18] <ogra> git is like latin ... i know why i had french at school ...
[13:23] <kblin> nah
[13:23] <kblin> you can actually learn git in under three years
[13:23] <ogra> heh
[13:23] <kblin> and once you learned it, it's useful
[13:23] <ogra> now thats something i doubt
[13:24] <lool> ogra: You're stuck?
[13:24] <kblin> at least for me it is. most projects I work on use it
[13:24] <ogra> no, but it seems to take the rest of the day to check out
[13:24] <ogra> Receiving objects:  17%
[13:24] <lool> ogra: You don't have any other linux tree around?
[13:25] <ogra> not a git one
[13:25] <lool> I use git clone --reference ~/git/linux/torvalds/linux-2.6 ubuntu:marvell/dove-kernel/.git
[13:25] <ogra> i usually use trabals, that have striped git afaik
[13:25] <ogra> *stripped
[13:25] <ogra> sigh, what am i typing today
[13:25] <lool> ogra: I recommend you keep at least one git tree around
[13:26] <ogra> i usually refuse to use git, but if you think it helps :)
[13:26] <lool> ogra: You can download a tarball from the tip of that branch from kernel.u.c if you like
[13:27] <ogra> well, its at 30% now ... i'll just leave it running and wont wipe it
[13:29] <ogra> amitk, do you have any idea if the packaging of that branch is actually properly adjusted for uboot already (running make uImage instead of zImage) ?
[13:30] <ogra> if not we should do that
[13:30] <amitk> ogra: uImage is actually supported in upstream kernels IIRC
[13:30] <amitk> it just requires uboot-tools or some such thing to be installed
[13:30] <ogra> yes, i know i build them like that if i dont use debuild
[13:30] <ogra> i was talking about the package
[13:30] <amitk> ogra: oh, that is yet to be fixed. bjf knows about it though.
[13:30] <ogra> it should depend on uboot-mkimage and run make uImage by default
[13:30] <ogra> ah, k
[13:31] <ogra> i just wanted to know what it spits out in the end
[13:32] <ogra> lool, do you have an idea why NCommander needed to run initramfs through uboot-mkimage to make it work ? i have never seen that
[13:33] <lool> ogra: Just run make uImage instead of make zImage
[13:33] <ogra> lool, well, i was attempting to run debuild :)
[13:33] <ogra> (once its downloaded)
[13:33] <lool> ogra: NCommander says we want to pack the initramfs with the kernel in a single uboot image; I don't think we want that
[13:33] <ogra> right
[13:34] <lool> ogra: You can't debuild from the marvell tree I think
[13:34] <ogra> to me he was talking about uInitrd or something
[13:34] <ogra> the commit logs looked like it, we'll see, i'll take a look at the debian dir before firing off the build
[13:46] <ogra> ogra@osiris:/var/build/kernel/git/ubuntu-karmic$ grep Package debian/control.d/flavour-control.stub
[13:46] <ogra> Package: linux-mrv-dove-PKGVER-ABINUM-FLAVOUR
[13:46] <ogra> well looks like it at least knows about a binary package
[13:58] <ogra> hrm, there doesnt seem to be any config in the packagin
[13:58] <ogra> g
[14:00] <ogra> lool, any special config you like me to use ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/251347/
[14:00] <ogra> i'll just go with dove_defconfig if you dont suggest anything different
[14:01] <lool> ogra: Not for this testing
[14:01] <lool> The only changes are code changes
[14:01] <ogra> ok
[14:03] <ogra> ah, NCommander is around
[14:04] <ogra> gah, make oldconfig asks a million of questions
[14:05]  * ogra just hits enter on all of them for now
[14:05] <ogra> assuming the defaults are ok
[14:09] <mcasadevall> ogra, we have dove kernels :-)?
[14:09] <ogra> mcasadevall, a tree
[14:16] <ogra> mcasadevall, http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/arm/dove/ if you want to test a binary
[14:17] <mcasadevall> ogra, from our kernel team?
[14:17] <mcasadevall> woo!
[14:17] <ogra> just built from our tree, yes
[14:18] <ogra> no idea how well it works, there were some config questions i just hit enter on without caring much
[14:20] <ogra> mcasadevall, would be nice if you could give it a shot, i have to wire up my HW first
[14:21] <mcasadevall> ogra, you built targetting the Y0, right?
[14:21] <ogra> i used defconfig_dove, should work
[14:35] <mcasadevall> ogra, that doesn't tell me if your getting the Y0 or Z0 board ;-)
[14:36] <ogra> there is no specific Y0 config so it should be fine
[14:36] <ogra> just try it please
[14:37] <mcasadevall> ogra, I am, just give me a bit to get my board setup again
[14:37]  * mcasadevall is still digging for his USB-serial adapter
[14:37] <ogra> heh, well, then i can do it myself
[14:37]  * ogra was hoping you had yours set up already
[14:37] <mcasadevall> ogra, mine is setup, but I took its ethernet and serial-USB adapter before I left to Berlin
[14:38] <mcasadevall> I got in about 03:00 his morning, so I went to bed after sending the IRC mobile meeting email
[14:45] <lool> ogra: Instead of hitting enter use silentoldconfig
[14:45] <lool> ogra: Did you pass ARCH=arm?
[14:45] <ogra> lool, ok, next build
[14:45] <ogra> indeed i did
[14:45] <ogra> else the crosscompiler would freak out ;)
