| vlad | hey folks, redboot question.. on a babbage board, my current boot_script_data just has 'fis load kernel\exec -c "console=...."\' | 06:47 |
|---|---|---|
| vlad | with jaunty installed | 06:47 |
| vlad | the latest BabbageImageFromScratch page states that it should also load an initrd as well.. do I need to do that bit? | 06:48 |
| vlad | yeah, looks likeI did need it updated | 07:03 |
| vlad | but running redboot-install was not the right way to do it, since it has a handy "rm -rf usr" in it (what the hell?) | 07:03 |
| ogra | vlad, yes, it removes the $builddir/usr direcory | 09:38 |
| vlad | ogra: but it never goes into $BUILDDIR | 09:39 |
| ogra | did you follow the howto step by step ? | 09:39 |
| vlad | no, I had an existing build from jaunty, using the old instructions, pre-initrd | 09:39 |
| vlad | so given taht the script was part of redboot-tools, I ran it on my target, and it rm -rf'd usr :) | 09:39 |
| vlad | as best I can see the script creates a temp directory and then never changes into it | 09:40 |
| ogra | ouch, can you file a bug, redboot-install as is si for creating an SD card from a foreign system | 09:40 |
| vlad | (I also don't see what would ever get unpacke dinto usr, but I didn't look that closely at that) | 09:40 |
| ogra | s/si/is/ | 09:40 |
| vlad | will do.. I ended up mailing the authors, I should've just filed a launchpad bug | 09:41 |
| vlad | will do that tomorrow | 09:41 |
| ogra | well, i am one of the authors (i just dont read mail frequently on sundays :) ) | 09:41 |
| vlad | oh! well you have mail :) | 09:41 |
| ogra | heh | 09:41 |
| vlad | I can stick it in a bug tomorrow though, having /usr go away on my remote system was a nice way to get me to stop doing work and go do something else ;) | 09:42 |
| ogra | i will add a check so you cant run it from a running system, the script is to prepare an SD for a rootfs, not to use it from your babbage directly | 09:42 |
| vlad | yeah, I figured that out too late :) | 09:43 |
| ogra | its what we use to create the liveimages we provide | 09:43 |
| vlad | though it would be handy if it could set up a canonical rb setup even on a running babbage | 09:43 |
| ogra | but instead of using a livefs i redid it a bit so you can use it for normal rootfs bulids | 09:43 |
| ogra | right | 09:43 |
| ogra | add that to the bug please | 09:43 |
| ogra | did you run it on jaunty ? | 09:44 |
| ogra | stat: cannot stat `/usr/lib/redboot/imx51-babbage-TO2_redboot.bin': No such file or directory makes me suspect so ... | 09:45 |
| vlad | yep, on jaunty | 09:46 |
| vlad | my rb setup didn't have an initrd segment, and my boot commands just had the kernel load | 09:47 |
| vlad | this all started with me wanting to upgrade to a kernel that had NEON support | 09:47 |
| ogra | do you have a babbage from the 2.x series ? | 10:00 |
| ogra | i doubt NEON works on the early ones | 10:00 |
| ogra | and i dont think we enable it yet in the karmic kernels | 10:01 |
| ogra | (we only got a .31 kernel for babbage in karmic about a week ago) | 10:05 |
| ogra | there are first daily builds of the installable live image already though | 10:06 |
| * ogra points to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily-live/ | 10:06 | |
| ogra | you might want to try it :) | 10:06 |
| ogra | (note there are plenty of bugs still though, but it should do a proper install to USB disk or a second SD) | 10:07 |
| melchi | Hey does ubuntu run on a beagleboard? | 18:20 |
| melchi | Hey does ubuntu run on a beagleboard? | 18:22 |
| melchi | am i doing something wrong here or is this room empty | 18:22 |
| Q_Continuum | The room is filled with people who idle, not everyone is sitting at their keyboards waiting for people to talk. | 18:27 |
| melchi | Q_Continuum: lol ok... anyways does ubuntu run on a beagleboard ??? have u tried it? | 18:28 |
| Q_Continuum | I haven't a clue, I have a SheevaPlug | 18:30 |
| yacoob | Q_Continuum, now that you've said that, I have a sheevaplug related question! :D | 18:31 |
| yacoob | are there security updates to arm port of ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| Q_Continuum | yacoob: Perfect, there's also a plug channel #openplug | 18:32 |
| Q_Continuum | as far as I know, yes. | 18:32 |
| yacoob | http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ doesn't seem to have anything more than i386 and amd64 | 18:33 |
| Q_Continuum | It's a normal architecture Ubuntu supports, so there should be all the normal updates. | 18:33 |
| melchi | hey are all the packages in synaptic cross compiled for the arm processor? | 18:33 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | hello | 18:33 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | can anybody tell me if it is possible to install ubuntu on ipod touch 1st gen? | 18:34 |
| Q_Continuum | melchi: AFAIK, yes | 18:34 |
| melchi | AFAIK? i dont speak IRC :) | 18:34 |
| Q_Continuum | ubuntu-user-b2: I doubt that, there are some Linux-based tools that will install on an ipod. | 18:34 |
| Q_Continuum | As Far As I Know | 18:35 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | :( | 18:35 |
| melchi | wow thats great so i will be able to get python scapy and aircrack-ng running on the little monster | 18:35 |
| melchi | ? | 18:35 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | but with display manager? | 18:35 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | it is arm based afterall | 18:36 |
| Q_Continuum | the ipod is VERY feature-lacking | 18:36 |
| Q_Continuum | it's a tiny tiny CPU | 18:36 |
| Q_Continuum | with basically nothing for RAM | 18:36 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | yeah but so is the spv c500 and linux runs on that :) | 18:37 |
| Q_Continuum | ubuntu-user-b2: http://www.rockbox.org/ is the linux-based tool I know of. | 18:37 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | uuu | 18:37 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | thanks | 18:37 |
| melchi | Q_Continuum: hey does ur devices run on battries too? | 18:38 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | ? | 18:38 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | what devices | 18:38 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | ? | 18:38 |
| Q_Continuum | melchi: No, the SheevaPlug is wall-plugged while running. | 18:39 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | thanks | 18:39 |
| ubuntu-user-b2 | gtg | 18:39 |
| melchi | Q_Continuum: hey will you please check ur synaptic on the sheevaplug and let me know if python and aircrack-ng are present in the list? | 19:14 |
| === Tscheesy is now known as Tscheesy__ | ||
| rabeeh | melchi: python is support. basically sheevaplug runs ubuntu 9.04 with most of the packages built for arm processor | 21:29 |
| rabeeh | you can check ports.ubuntu.com for the packages that are compiled for arm (has armel in it's name) | 21:29 |
| vlad | ogra: this daily live image build for imx51 -- I can't install to a SD card using this, right? | 23:08 |
| vlad | ogra: erm, though even in the latest kernels, CONFIG_NEON is not set -- any reason for that? | 23:27 |
