[10:17] <kinkie> Hi all.
[10:18] <kinkie> Does anyone know if there is any cookbook on installing on a qemu-backed image? Thanks
[10:18] <ogra> see /topic
[10:20] <kinkie> ogra: found, thanks. I was hoping for something which didn't involve building the rootfs ;)
[10:21] <salil> ogra, i have a question related to samba - large file copies are failing
[10:21] <ogra> you mean using debian-installer with a netinst image ?
[10:21] <salil> ogra, fiel accessing through windows clients, it says Network name no longer available
[10:21] <ogra> salil, which arm board ?
[10:21] <salil> ogra, sheevaplug
[10:22] <ogra> might be a kernel issue, i bet you use a debian kernel with ubuntu rootfs ?
[10:22] <salil> yup
[10:22] <salil> but normal file copying succeeds fine
[10:22] <salil> no issues - for larger files - this error pops up
[10:23] <kinkie> ogra: sounds more like it ;). I'm interested in setting up virtual hosts for the squid build-farm.
[10:23] <salil> and the size is being increased in the background - it might ftruncate()'ing i guess :(
[10:24] <ogra> kinkie, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/QemuNetInstall might work
[10:24] <kinkie> ok, will try that.
[10:24] <kinkie> Thank you
[10:25] <ogra> salil, sorry i never used samba on arm, are you sure its armel specific ?
[10:25] <ogra> i know kblin does some samba stuff though, probably he knows something
[10:25] <salil> ogra, might not be only arm-specific i think it can be a build issue?
[10:26] <salil> ogra, i had faced similar problem while running samba on arm-board with a fedora distro
[10:26] <salil> ogra, there the error vanished completely after recompiling the smbd with --enable-largefile or some such similar option
[10:26] <ogra> well, as i said in the beginning, might be due to a version mistmatch between the kernel module and userspace for example
[10:27] <ogra> not sure how deep smbd hooks into that
[10:28] <ogra> probably wait for slangasek to show up in #ubuntu-devel, he knows a lot about samba in general (pacific timezone though)
[10:28] <ogra> he might also know if that issue shows up on other arches, if its build related any why the build is done as its done
[10:29] <salil> ogra, how/where can I find out if the samba is compiled with such an option?
[10:29] <ogra> apt-get source ...
[10:29] <salil> ogra, because for fedora exactly similar behavior was seen and it was removed after the compile flag addition
[10:29] <ogra> look at debian/rules, it should have the config options used
[10:30] <salil> ogra, o ok thanks
[14:16] <royerfa> HI
[14:18] <royerfa> I 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_0
[14:18] <royerfa> but this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Ethernet-Adapter-Patch-Cable/dp/B0002AFKN0 is working fine
[14:18] <royerfa> :P
[14:27] <amitk> ogra: do you know if fec ethernet requires firmware?
[14:27] <ogra> no idea
[14:27] <ogra> if so, we had it in jaunty
[14:28] <amitk> i don't see the driver making any calls to load firmware, so probably not
[14:28] <ogra> yeah and i dont remember it being added to linux-firmware in jaunty
[14:28] <ogra> i thught you had the HW documentation, it should say that
[14:29] <lool> royerfa: You're probably not using an Ubuntu kernel though so best to report the issue to your kernel distributor
[14:31] <amitk> royerfa: does that usb adaptor work with _any_ linux distro? If so, you could file a bug with lsusb info for us to fix.
[14:33] <royerfa> actually THis adaptor is just not working with my configuration, I tried with other Beagle Distrib without sucess such as Angstrom or a ARM filesytem
[14:33]  * ogra sighs about the publisher slowness ... having to wait 2h after a package built is really no fun
[14:34] <amitk> royerfa: have a linux PC on which it works?
[14:35] <royerfa> Has someone use sucessfully this kind of adaptor?
[14:35] <royerfa> This adaptor is for me connected to the USB hub and the HUB is connected to the USB host
[14:36] <royerfa> with a REVC3
[14:36] <amitk> what does 'lsusb' say?
[14:37] <ogra> and did you try plugging it in a laptop or desktop machine
[14:38] <ogra> from the case form it looks like various adapters i have seen working, all required the proper firmware to be available though
[14:39] <royerfa> ubuntu@beagleboard:~$ lsusb
[14:39] <royerfa> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0fe6:8101
[14:39] <royerfa> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB-2.0 4-Port HUB
[14:39] <royerfa> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
[14:44] <royerfa> would you mind if I copy/paste the dhclient output ?
[14:45] <amitk> royerfa: dhclient is no use if the HW does not have an associated driver
[14:45] <amitk> do you have an eth0 in the output of 'ifconfig'?
[14:45] <royerfa> when i first start I have only lo
[14:46] <royerfa> If I do a dhclient I will get a eth3
[14:46] <royerfa> without ip adress
[14:47] <amitk> from lsusb - Is this 0fe6:8101 your usb devices?
[14:47] <amitk> try unplugging it and running lsusb to make sure
[14:48] <royerfa> yes THis is the one 0fe6:8101
[14:49] <royerfa> when I unplug the USB adaptor only ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub is reamaining
[14:50] <amitk> what is the output of lsmod?
[14:51] <amitk> You need the dm9601 module loaded: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/USB_NET_DM9601.html
[14:54] <royerfa> there is no module loaded as the Ubuntu filesytem doesn't have any
[14:55] <royerfa> my /lib/modules/ is empty by default
[14:55] <royerfa> And i guess this is probably the raison of the error but !
[14:56] <royerfa> I tried with some 2.6.29 kernel all-build in
[14:56] <amitk> royerfa: yes, it is compiled as a module in the ubuntu kernel
[14:56] <amitk> but since you are not using the ubuntu kernel, you need to make sure that module is compiled-in or loaded somehow
[14:57] <royerfa> I am using the ubuntu kernel  2.6.29-oer40.5
[14:57] <royerfa> I just tried different setup
[14:58] <amitk> that isn't an official ubuntu kernel
[14:58] <amitk> since we don't create kernels for the beagle board
[14:58] <royerfa> this 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.deb
[14:59] <amitk> This driver probably wasn't even present in 2.6.29
[14:59] <amitk> try .31
[15:02] <royerfa> ok thx you
[15:02] <royerfa> I will continue investigating!
[15:27] <royerfa> where can I find some prebuild armel-rootfs-200908101131.tgz vmlinuz-2.6.29-oer40.5 Jaunty build for Beagle ?
[15:59] <bjf> plars, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~bradf/uImage-z0  (in case you are interested)
[16:00] <plars> bjf: nice, I'll check it out thanks!
[16:00] <ogra> lool might be intrested too
[16:00] <plars> bjf: was it just a config issue?
[16:02] <plars> yay, it's booting! :)
[16:04] <ogra> bjf, i dont get the full 512M in the Y0 with the distro kernel btw, unless i specify mem=512M
[16:04] <ogra> it works gret if i set it
[16:04] <ogra> *great
[16:04] <bjf> plars, yes, just a minor config issue
[16:18] <plars> After this operation, 1894MB of additional disk space will be used... this might take a while on my 4G sd card :-S
[19:39] <kozak> Hi all,
[19:39] <kozak> I have some doubts on writing daemon programs, can some one point to resources on daemons?
[19:40] <kozak> I 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.
[19:41] <rjune_> kozak: This isn't the forum to ask.
[19:42] <rjune_> This channel is dedicated to ubuntu on ARM hardware.
[19:43] <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] <kozak> Thank you for your response! I dont have a clue on where to ask in fact. I tried #ubuntu
[19:43] <rjune_> or lightweight cron.
[19:43] <kozak> oh thank you !
[19:43] <rjune_> kozak: ##linux
[19:43] <kozak> I will try it there
