kinkieHi all.10:17
kinkieDoes anyone know if there is any cookbook on installing on a qemu-backed image? Thanks10:18
ograsee /topic10:18
kinkieogra: found, thanks. I was hoping for something which didn't involve building the rootfs ;)10:20
salilogra, i have a question related to samba - large file copies are failing10:21
ograyou mean using debian-installer with a netinst image ?10:21
salilogra, fiel accessing through windows clients, it says Network name no longer available10:21
ograsalil, which arm board ?10:21
salilogra, sheevaplug10:21
ogramight be a kernel issue, i bet you use a debian kernel with ubuntu rootfs ?10:22
salilyup10:22
salilbut normal file copying succeeds fine10:22
salilno issues - for larger files - this error pops up10:22
kinkieogra: sounds more like it ;). I'm interested in setting up virtual hosts for the squid build-farm.10:23
saliland the size is being increased in the background - it might ftruncate()'ing i guess :(10:23
ograkinkie, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/QemuNetInstall might work10:24
kinkieok, will try that.10:24
kinkieThank you10:24
ograsalil, sorry i never used samba on arm, are you sure its armel specific ?10:25
ograi know kblin does some samba stuff though, probably he knows something10:25
salilogra, might not be only arm-specific i think it can be a build issue?10:25
salilogra, i had faced similar problem while running samba on arm-board with a fedora distro10:26
salilogra, there the error vanished completely after recompiling the smbd with --enable-largefile or some such similar option10:26
ograwell, as i said in the beginning, might be due to a version mistmatch between the kernel module and userspace for example10:26
ogranot sure how deep smbd hooks into that10:27
ograprobably wait for slangasek to show up in #ubuntu-devel, he knows a lot about samba in general (pacific timezone though)10:28
ograhe might also know if that issue shows up on other arches, if its build related any why the build is done as its done10:28
salilogra, how/where can I find out if the samba is compiled with such an option?10:29
ograapt-get source ...10:29
salilogra, because for fedora exactly similar behavior was seen and it was removed after the compile flag addition10:29
ogralook at debian/rules, it should have the config options used10:29
salilogra, o ok thanks10:30

royerfaHI14:16
royerfaI just want to share that with karmic on the Beagle board RevC2 and RevC3 I am having an issue with the usb adaptor http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-Ethernet-Network-RJ45-Adapter/dp/B000S6DFZ8/ref=dp_cp_ob_ce_image_014:18
royerfabut this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Ethernet-Adapter-Patch-Cable/dp/B0002AFKN0 is working fine14:18
royerfa:P14:18
amitkogra: do you know if fec ethernet requires firmware?14:27
ograno idea14:27
ograif so, we had it in jaunty14:27
amitki don't see the driver making any calls to load firmware, so probably not14:28
ograyeah and i dont remember it being added to linux-firmware in jaunty14:28
ograi thught you had the HW documentation, it should say that14:28
loolroyerfa: You're probably not using an Ubuntu kernel though so best to report the issue to your kernel distributor14:29
amitkroyerfa: does that usb adaptor work with _any_ linux distro? If so, you could file a bug with lsusb info for us to fix.14:31
royerfaactually THis adaptor is just not working with my configuration, I tried with other Beagle Distrib without sucess such as Angstrom or a ARM filesytem14:33
* ogra sighs about the publisher slowness ... having to wait 2h after a package built is really no fun14:33
amitkroyerfa: have a linux PC on which it works?14:34
royerfaHas someone use sucessfully this kind of adaptor?14:35
royerfaThis adaptor is for me connected to the USB hub and the HUB is connected to the USB host14:35
royerfawith a REVC314:36
amitkwhat does 'lsusb' say?14:36
ograand did you try plugging it in a laptop or desktop machine14:37
ografrom the case form it looks like various adapters i have seen working, all required the proper firmware to be available though14:38
royerfaubuntu@beagleboard:~$ lsusb14:39
royerfaBus 001 Device 003: ID 0fe6:810114:39

royerfaBus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub14:39
royerfawould you mind if I copy/paste the dhclient output ?14:44
amitkroyerfa: dhclient is no use if the HW does not have an associated driver14:45
amitkdo you have an eth0 in the output of 'ifconfig'?14:45
royerfawhen i first start I have only lo14:45
royerfaIf I do a dhclient I will get a eth314:46
royerfawithout ip adress14:46
amitkfrom lsusb - Is this 0fe6:8101 your usb devices?14:47
amitktry unplugging it and running lsusb to make sure14:47
royerfayes THis is the one 0fe6:810114:48
royerfawhen I unplug the USB adaptor only ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub is reamaining14:49
amitkwhat is the output of lsmod?14:50
amitkYou need the dm9601 module loaded: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/USB_NET_DM9601.html14:51
royerfathere is no module loaded as the Ubuntu filesytem doesn't have any14:54
royerfamy /lib/modules/ is empty by default14:55
royerfaAnd i guess this is probably the raison of the error but !14:55
royerfaI tried with some 2.6.29 kernel all-build in14:56
amitkroyerfa: yes, it is compiled as a module in the ubuntu kernel14:56
amitkbut since you are not using the ubuntu kernel, you need to make sure that module is compiled-in or loaded somehow14:56
royerfaI am using the ubuntu kernel  2.6.29-oer40.514:57
royerfaI just tried different setup14:57
amitkthat isn't an official ubuntu kernel14:58
amitksince we don't create kernels for the beagle board14:58
royerfathis is comming form the command sudo ./rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --imagesize 2G --seed xfce4,gdm --dist karmic   --serial ttyS2 --kernel-image http://rcn-ee.com/deb/kernel/beagle/karmic/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer40.5/linux-image-2.6.29-oer40.5_1.0karmic_armel.deb14:58
amitkThis driver probably wasn't even present in 2.6.2914:59
amitktry .3114:59
royerfaok thx you15:02
royerfaI will continue investigating!15:02
=== bjf-afk is now known as bjf
royerfawhere can I find some prebuild armel-rootfs-200908101131.tgz vmlinuz-2.6.29-oer40.5 Jaunty build for Beagle ?15:27
bjfplars, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~bradf/uImage-z0  (in case you are interested)15:59
plarsbjf: nice, I'll check it out thanks!16:00
ogralool might be intrested too16:00
plarsbjf: was it just a config issue?16:00
plarsyay, it's booting! :)16:02
ograbjf, i dont get the full 512M in the Y0 with the distro kernel btw, unless i specify mem=512M16:04
ograit works gret if i set it16:04
ogra*great16:04
bjfplars, yes, just a minor config issue16:04
plarsAfter this operation, 1894MB of additional disk space will be used... this might take a while on my 4G sd card :-S16:18
kozakHi all,19:39
kozakI have some doubts on writing daemon programs, can some one point to resources on daemons?19:39
kozakI am able to find and understand basic daemons, but would like to know if it can talk to other processes, take input from other processes,etc.19:40
rjune_kozak: This isn't the forum to ask.19:41
rjune_This channel is dedicated to ubuntu on ARM hardware.19:42
rjune_I would point you to the C channel, the general linux channel. and If you can code already, I would suggest you look at existing services, such as lightweight webservers.19:43
kozakThank you for your response! I dont have a clue on where to ask in fact. I tried #ubuntu19:43
rjune_or lightweight cron.19:43
kozakoh thank you !19:43
rjune_kozak: ##linux19:43
kozakI will try it there19:43
