| ogra | heh | 09:23 |
|---|---|---|
| * ogra does a headless remote installation on imx51 with ubiquity | 09:23 | |
| eggonlea | anybody? | 09:30 |
| eggonlea | I install karmic beta on dove y1 board | 09:30 |
| eggonlea | but I did not see any scr file in /boot partition | 09:30 |
| eggonlea | is this expected behavior? | 09:31 |
| eggonlea | I chose auto partition for the whole SATA disk | 09:31 |
| eggonlea | it create an 228MB ext2 for /boot and 72GB for / | 09:32 |
| NC|Mobile | eggonlea: strange. you should habe a boot.scr file if installation completes successfully | 09:33 |
| eggonlea | I did see vmlinuz there | 09:33 |
| eggonlea | and the installation process did not prompt me about somewhat "installation complete" | 09:34 |
| NC|Mobile | karmic beta had a bug that the installer would abort if the board couldn't reach ports.ubuntu.com | 09:34 |
| eggonlea | it just moves the progress bar and then the installation window close (reach ~100%) without any prompt | 09:35 |
| eggonlea | ah | 09:35 |
| NC|Mobile | use a daily-live image instead but you need a canonical uboot or marvell 4.3.1 | 09:35 |
| eggonlea | that is | 09:35 |
| NC|Mobile | and bootrom 2.01 or greater | 09:35 |
| eggonlea | is manually "ifconfig/route" helpful? | 09:35 |
| eggonlea | or I'll download a latest daily build | 09:36 |
| NC|Mobile | eggonlea: it just need | 09:36 |
| NC|Mobile | er | 09:36 |
| NC|Mobile | that's best. as long as the internet is availavle though beta bshould work | 09:37 |
| NC|Mobile | I gtg (about to go to the airport but I will be around) | 09:37 |
| eggonlea | i see. | 09:37 |
| eggonlea | I'll try beta with network available first | 09:37 |
| eggonlea | while downloading the daily build as backup | 09:37 |
| eggonlea | thanks! | 09:38 |
| darkking_ | Hi all! Can anyone help me for load "dm_mod" , "dm_mirror", "dm_snapshot" modules? | 09:48 |

| ogra | lool, ... just because we can ... :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BabbageHeadlessKarmicDesktopInstall | 10:09 |
| Gnuet | very nice :) | 10:16 |
| amitk | ogra: nice! | 10:26 |
| NC|Mobile | and I am back (for now) | 10:28 |
| ogra | lool, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/360925 was the bug with filename truncation i was referring to | 10:30 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 360925 in mobile-meta "md5sum check of UNR image fails in one file" [Undecided,Invalid] | 10:30 |
| ogra | NC|Mobile, dont you see the same on the dove alternates ? | 10:30 |
| ogra | (given they are vfat as well and contain the same file) | 10:30 |
| NC|Mobile | ogra: I nevere had an opportunity to test dove alts extensively. I am not even sure if the current alts work | 10:31 |
| ogra | on imx51 they do, butu you have to rename that file | 10:31 |
| NC|Mobile | oh you mean that bug hrm ... | 10:32 |
| ogra | funnily you *can* rename it to the proper name inside the vfat partition | 10:32 |
| ogra | whcih makes me think that we miss something when building the vfat | 10:33 |
| NC|Mobile | ogra: maybe mtools being old and having a bug | 10:33 |
| lool | ogra: Yes, it's a known and relatively old bug | 10:33 |
| lool | I was told it did not occur in karmic since ppp had a different version or somethin | 10:34 |
| NC|Mobile | we were talking about extX images for lucid | 10:34 |
| ogra | yes, we should do ext3 | 10:34 |
| NC|Mobile | ogra: ext2 for dove | 10:34 |
| * NC|Mobile loves android IRC :-) | 10:34 | |
| ogra | that will leave you with a possibly out of date fs if you kill the running live session | 10:35 |
| ogra | needs to be ext3 at least | 10:35 |
| lool | ogra: find . -iname ppp\* on an UNR ISO returns nothing | 10:35 |
| NC|Mobile | ogra: then we need to get dove's uboot to read ext3. it goes ugh no on it atm | 10:35 |
| ogra | lool, its a dep of NM | 10:36 |
| lool | ogra: But it's only on alternates then? | 10:36 |
| ogra | lool, but indeed you need to check on alternates | 10:36 |
| ogra | right | 10:36 |
| ogra | since ppp is a dep of NM now it will live in the livefs for live images | 10:36 |
| lool | So it's only when a) you're using and alternate image + b) you're using usb-creator to create USB media + c) you run the md5 check | 10:36 |
| ogra | just not for alternate | 10:36 |
| ogra | a) yes | 10:37 |
| ogra | b) no idea | 10:37 |
| ogra | c) no | 10:37 |
| ogra | the file is not found by d-i due to the wrong name | 10:37 |
| ogra | (for c) ) | 10:37 |
| ogra | you need to remount / readwrite, mv it to the proper name and d-i will work flawless | 10:38 |
| ogra | err, not / ... /cdrom | 10:38 |
| NC|Mobile | this bug sounds like it should break alt. installation but beta alt. images passed | 10:38 |
| NC|Mobile | at least on x86 | 10:38 |
| ogra | lool, the point here is that it keeps the proper name if i mv the file | 10:39 |
| lool | ogra: What point are you trying to make? | 10:39 |
| ogra | that the issue inherits from the way we build the image | 10:39 |
| lool | No kidding? :-) | 10:40 |
| ogra | i can rename the file and reboot ... the name is kept | 10:40 |
| lool | Because you're using linux' vfat implementation and we use mtools in debian-cd (no-root) | 10:40 |
| * NC|Mobile shivers at the notion of making d-cd depend on root | 10:41 | |
| ogra | there has to be a way around that | 10:41 |
| lool | Fixing mtools | 10:42 |
| NC|Mobile | woo free uprade to first class | 10:43 |
| NC|Mobile | and a wifi enabled flight! */offtopic* | 10:46 |
| NC|Mobile | lool, ogra couldn't we use device/policykit to handle the mount onto loopback? | 10:47 |
| ogra | in casper you mean ? | 10:48 |
| NC|Mobile | ogra: no for cd building so we can use the linux vfat layer versus mtools | 10:48 |
| ogra | well, work it out, discuss it with elmo and we'll see :) | 10:49 |
| NC|Mobile | I remember reading something about modifying permissions so nonroot can mount loopback | 10:49 |
| ogra | but i doubt he likes the idea | 10:49 |
| ogra | sure, udev-acl can likely do that ... but thats only in karmic afaik | 10:49 |
| NC|Mobile | ogra: ugh ... | 10:50 |
| * NC|Mobile can't see the discussion upgrading antimony to karmic going well | 10:50 | |
| ogra | there might also be a fuse based solution | 10:52 |
| lool | I just tried rm -f vfat.img; mkdosfs -C vfat.img 10240; touch ppp_2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu2_i386.deb; mcopy -i vfat.img ppp_2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu2_i386.deb ::ppp_2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 10:56 |
| lool | and loop mounting the resulting vfat.img worked fine | 10:56 |
| lool | Even with -F 32 it still works | 10:57 |
| ApOgEE | hi all | 11:08 |
| ApOgEE | hi ogra | 11:08 |
| ApOgEE | anybody home? | 11:08 |
| lool | Nope | 11:21 |
| ApOgEE | hi lool | 11:21 |
| ogra | ApOgEE, whats up ? | 11:23 |
| ApOgEE | i'm trying to build ubuntu-minimal rootfs | 11:23 |
| ApOgEE | ./rootstock: 572: cannot create /tmp/tmp.TeAtp15575/tmpmount/etc/fstab: Directory nonexistent | 11:24 |
| ApOgEE | any ideas? | 11:24 |
| ogra | disk full ? | 11:24 |
| ogra | lool, we use parted | 11:25 |
| ApOgEE | i still got 13.7GB free space on / | 11:25 |
| ogra | can you paste the log somewhere ? | 11:25 |
| ApOgEE | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/297362/ | 11:27 |
| lool | ogra: Uh no | 11:27 |
| ogra | parted -s "$IMAGE" mkpart primary fat32 "512B" "$(($FIS_SIZE - 1))B" | 11:28 |
| ogra | ... | 11:28 |
| ogra | ApOgEE, E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-armel/Packages | 11:28 |
| ogra | is your actual error | 11:28 |
| ApOgEE | ogra, how to solve? | 11:29 |
| ogra | is the system networked ? | 11:29 |
| ogra | (can you ping ports.ubuntu.com) | 11:29 |
| ApOgEE | yes, i can ping ports.ubuntu.com | 11:30 |
| ogra | thats weird | 11:30 |
| ogra | whats the release you run this on ? | 11:31 |
| ogra | jaunyt or karmic ? | 11:31 |
| ogra | *jaunty | 11:31 |
| ogra | bah, my remote ubiquity install failed :( | 11:31 |
| lool | ogra: You're confused | 11:31 |
| ApOgEE | my pc is jaunty | 11:32 |
| lool | ogra: We copy the vfat data onto a partitioned image | 11:32 |
| ApOgEE | no.. | 11:32 |
| ApOgEE | intrepid | 11:32 |
| ApOgEE | sorry | 11:32 |
| ogra | lool, right, but parted creates the fs | 11:32 |
| lool | ogra: it creates the partition | 11:33 |
| ApOgEE | could i run it on intrepid? | 11:33 |
| lool | it might create a fs which gets overwritten | 11:33 |
| ogra | ApOgEE, i'm not sure, you need a bunch of karmic packages | 11:33 |
| ApOgEE | ogra, i see... | 11:33 |
| lool | ogra: dd conv=notrunc bs="${PART2_START_B%B}" if="$IMAGE.vfat" of="$IMAGE" seek=1 2>/dev/null | 11:33 |
| ogra | lool, doesnt mkpart format the partition ? | 11:33 |
| ApOgEE | can't upgrade yet... haven't backup lots of files | 11:33 |
| lool | ogra: It probably does | 11:33 |
| ApOgEE | this builder script should run fine right? http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/arm/build-arm-rootfs | 11:34 |
| ogra | ApOgEE, i cant promise, you need at least the jaunty debootstrap installed | 11:34 |
| ogra | and probably even qemu from jaunty | 11:35 |
| ApOgEE | ogra, how small the imagesize can be for ubuntu-minimal | 11:36 |
| ApOgEE | my board have about 20MB | 11:36 |
| ogra | i think you should be fine with 512M ... | 11:36 |
| Gnuet | karmic minimal is like 380M iirc. | 11:37 |
| ApOgEE | i'm trying to shrink it to less than 20MB if possible | 11:37 |
| ApOgEE | got to try the rootfs via /nfs boot | 11:38 |
| ApOgEE | if works, i'm going to create jffs2 image and install it on mtdblock | 11:39 |
| ogra | it will likely be to big | 11:39 |
| ApOgEE | ogra, owh... | 11:41 |
| ApOgEE | can i use this rootfs with 2.4 kernel? | 11:42 |
| ApOgEE | i'm using 2.4.26 kernel | 11:43 |
| ApOgEE | seems like build-arm-rootfs working.... haven't finished yet ;) | 11:45 |
| ogra | i dont think 2.45 has all the required kernel options you need for a modern OS | 11:46 |
| ogra | *2.4 | 11:46 |
| ApOgEE | owh... | 11:46 |
| ApOgEE | ogra, at least, which version | 11:48 |
| ApOgEE | ? | 11:48 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: 2.4 kernel?! On what board? | 11:48 |
| ogra | well, best is the one the release uses :) | 11:49 |
| ApOgEE | i'm using ts-7260 | 11:49 |
| ogra | but 2.6.21 is the minimal version that upstart supports i think | 11:49 |
| ApOgEE | i simply grab the kernel from ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-kernels/ | 11:50 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: AFAIK this is a ARM9 board | 11:50 |
| ogra | will only work with jaunty then | 11:50 |
| amitk | ogra: we didn't recompile the archive for ARMv6+ yet, did we? | 11:51 |
| ogra | a big bunch of it | 11:51 |
| ApOgEE | amitk, do you mean it won't work on ts-7260 board? | 11:51 |
| ogra | karmic wont run on pre-v6 | 11:51 |
| ApOgEE | owh... | 11:52 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: correct. The Karmic armel archive is compiled using compiler optimisations for ARMv6+ boards. | 11:53 |
| ApOgEE | amitk, owh | 11:53 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: you can use the Jaunty armel archive if you want support for ARMv5 boards | 11:53 |
| ApOgEE | amitk, this board is armv4l | 11:55 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: even the, you still need a new kernel. 2.4 kernels won't work with any recent armel distribution. | 11:55 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: in that case it won't run with Jaunty userspace either. | 11:55 |
| ogra | v4 wont work with any ubuntu release | 11:55 |
| ApOgEE | ouch | 11:55 |
| ApOgEE | .... | 11:55 |
| ApOgEE | i only have debian sarge rootfs here... :p | 11:56 |
| amitk | ApOgEE: you should try the debian arm port (not armel) for this | 11:56 |
| ogra | debian builds with v4 support | 11:56 |
| suihkulokki | ApOgEE: armv4 or armv4t ? | 11:57 |
| suihkulokki | v4t it seems, so it should run debian/armel | 11:58 |
| * amitk learnt something new. (armv4t used EABI) | 11:59 | |
| suihkulokki | ApOgEE: you'll need to build a more modern kernel from here: http://mcrapet.free.fr/ | 12:00 |
| ApOgEE | http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7260 | 12:00 |
| ApOgEE | i thing v4 | 12:00 |
| ApOgEE | *think | 12:01 |
| ApOgEE | suihkulokki, thanks for the link | 12:02 |
| ApOgEE | but still, i have to shrink the ubuntu-minimal... | 12:08 |
| ApOgEE | :) | 12:08 |
| lool | amitk: Hey, I managed to finish a first pass of my cross toolchain project and pushed some packages to https://launchpad.net/~lool/+archive/ppa | 12:51 |
| lool | amitk: Let me know if you find them useful / whether they work fine for kernel builds | 12:51 |
| lool | I know they have some issues for building userspace but they should work for kernel | 12:51 |
| amitk | lool: great! thanks. I'll report back once I test them | 12:57 |
| playya_ | what is the default arch for qemubuilder? armv5? | 13:04 |
| lool | playya_: qemubuilder? From pbuilder? | 13:05 |
| playya_ | yes | 13:05 |
| lool | playya_: It uses the same arch as the distro you're using | 13:05 |
| lool | Oh sorry the emulated arch | 13:05 |
| lool | Hmm good question | 13:05 |
| lool | It's likely versatile | 13:05 |
| lool | Yeah | 13:06 |
| lool | see qemuarch.c | 13:06 |
| playya_ | i want to build a package for my PPA | 13:07 |
| playya_ | so it should fit ti the ubuntu arch | 13:07 |
| lool | ogra: I tried reproducing the ppp issue in an image build in my home on cdimage, but for some reason it doesn't work | 13:13 |
| lool | I fixed one issue which was a hardlink versus symlink problem, but I can't fix the other one | 13:13 |
| playya_ | does LP already support arm? | 13:13 |
| lool | It does, but not for PPAs | 13:14 |
| playya_ | :( | 13:14 |
| playya_ | my package are only for smartphones | 13:14 |
| ogra | lool, well, you didnt try with a partitioned image and loop mounting the second part. i suspect there is some difference in the fs signature vs the actual format of the partition ... | 13:26 |
| * ogra goes afk until the meeting | 13:27 | |
| lool | ogra: I dont understand what you mean | 13:29 |
| playya_ | qemubuilder sucks :( | 14:39 |
| === JamieBennett1 is now known as JamieBennett | ||
| playya_ | qemubuilder always stops with: qemu-system-arm: option '-kernel' requires an argument | 15:10 |
