crimsunso, Dove X0 should be good to go WRT default audio settings. I've uploaded both alsa-utils and pulseaudio for that.05:48
loolSomeone tried the openoffice binary packages?09:50
loolWould be nice to confirm the fix and close this awful bug  :-)09:50
ogralool, did you see my question from yesterday ?09:58
ogra(why dont we cat the partition/mbr files together butu do complex math and an additional image instead ?)09:59
ogra*but09:59
loologra: You mean why don't we release the individual bits?10:02
loolinstead of an SD card image?10:02
loolor why don't we have blobs in the debian-cd/cdimage trees?10:02
ograno, in our debian-cd scripts we create an empty image, add an mbr, do complex math to dd the contents into it etc10:02
ogradd if=/dev/zero of=mbr.img bs=1 count=51210:03
ograparted -s mbr.img mklabel msdos10:03
ogracat $IMAGE >>mbr.img10:03
ograetc etc10:03
ograwhy dont we do it like that instead and use the filesizes for the values we need10:03
ograway less complex10:03
loologra: Because you don't know which size your partition is actually going to have10:04
ograi.e. append each partition image we create to the full image and "mv mbr.img resulting.img" in the end10:05
loolWe need to create partitions before we know for sure which size they'll have10:05
ograsure i do, at least if i can use byte values like parted does10:05
ograwell, cat'ing definately works here10:05
loolYou can specify a partition size in bytes, but its size wont be the one you passed...10:05
ograhmm10:06
ograyou mean because of block sizes ?10:07
ogravs byte size10:07
loolNo10:07
loolsector size, and in your case you have additional constraints due to chs addressing10:08
ograyes, i wasnt talking about my current case though ... just in general10:08
lool(we have other constraints in other cases, for instance the FIS needs to have a size which is a multiple of the flash block size 0x2000 IIRC)10:08
loologra: I don't think there's any easy case10:09
ograright, we could still fill up the images with ueros though10:09
ogra*zeros10:09
ograand then glue them together10:09
loologra: which is what we do by dd-ing them in place10:09
ograthough it doesnt make it easier ...10:09
ograright, the constraints somehow make my point moot :)10:10
ograi'm wondering why i dont see any probs with that here though10:10
loolAlso, tools like parted or other disk utilities don't like creating partitions which go beyond the device boundaries10:10
ograbut probably because i dont read to the end of the partition10:10
loolso we'd have to create the partitions with the data in place already anyway10:10
loolIt's just becaue your current file sizes happen to work and you're not trying to write at the end of partitions10:11
ograright10:11
ograthanks for clearifying10:11
loolI think the current approach is proven solid, even if it's a bit complex; I went through great length to put a bunch of sanity checks in place which prevent us from doing anything nasty, and I think it's the right way to do it10:12
ograsadly its only solid on the build server, as soon as i run it locally i get size probs10:12
loolHowever you'll have to be creative because parted doesn't seem to allow enforcing the chs geometry10:12
ograi'm not sure why10:12
ograwell, sfdisk does allow it10:12
ograso i'll likely resort to fdisk or sfdisk10:13
loolI would prefer if we'd keep their usage minimal though10:13
ograor worst care just rely on u-boot being in NAND ...10:13
ogra*case10:14
loolfor many reasons: the checks are currently written using parted which is the canonical tool for partitioning which we use in other circunstances, I would prefer if we kept the number of tools to a minimum, and this puts higher constraints on the image building host and developer machines building images10:14
ograsure, but partwed doesnt give mee the functionallity i need10:14
ograi need something that works ... *now*10:14
ograso my options are small10:15
loolI know, but for instance you could just create one partition with fdisk and use parted for the rest10:17
loolthat would allow keeping the same logic everywhere else10:17
loolSuch as partition size checks10:17
loolCause parted can actually read the partition table just fine, just not create it10:17
loolOr you could just dd the partition info just like we dd the partition type for redboot fis (non-fs data)10:18
ograindeed10:18
ograi didnt plan to use fdisk all over the place :)10:18
ograha !10:32
ograthat worked10:32
ograheh, intresting, the SD i dd the image to boots fine, but my x86 machine cant mount the SD anymore10:33
hrwmorning11:39
loolmorning11:52
=== jamie is now known as Guest31141
amitkogra: yes, two reasons why you won't see anything on the display on omap - I'm still merging the DSS2 stack from 2.6.34-rc2 back into our tree and the drivers are modules.13:41
ograah, sad13:41
ograi was hoping to have a live image ready for next week13:41
ograi also see that compcache only assigns 60M13:41
ograi think we should raise that13:42
amitkogra: try the kernel on people.canonical.com:~/amitk/ti/zImage13:42
ogradoes that have the modules builtin ?13:43
amitkogra: yes, its the first compile after porting the dss2 stack back and compiled-in13:43
amitk51 patches13:43
* ogra downloads13:44
ograi hope the modules in initramfs will still work13:44
amitkogra: no guarantees, I can start compile for a temp debian package if this improves things13:46
ogra[   35.326751] FAT: codepage cp437 not found13:46
ogra[   36.601043] FAT: codepage cp437 not found13:46
ograover and over13:46
ograand nothing on screen13:47
amitk*sigh*13:47
amitkI'll compile a debian package13:48
amitkogra: or perhaps you could try w/o the initramfs13:48
ograwell, it should show any output before it goes to initramfs13:48
ograbut the screen just shuts down13:49
amitkso *something* in the DSS2 stack is working :)13:49
ogramount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /cdrom failed: Invalid argument13:50

ogra/lib/modules/2.6.33/modules.dep: No such file or directory13:50
ograwell, it behaves like with the archive kernel13:50
amitkogra: that could be missing udebs13:51
ograon a live image ?13:52
amitkhmm, no13:52
ograits missing modules that are in your build but not in the casper initramfs from the archive kernel13:53
loologra: Do you have an initramfs with nls_cp437.ko in it?13:58
loologra: It might be worth checking whether we put any codepage in the kernel for kernels which are used with FAT images13:59
ogralool, apparently not13:59
ograwell, i do, but amitk's kernel looks for a different modules dir13:59
amitkogra: new 500.3 debs on people13:59
ograhmm, thanks though it will be tricky to build a livefs with them14:00
=== JaMa is now known as JaMaOff
amitkogra: this is a problem with the casper initramfs, right?14:01
ograwell, it would also be with any other initramfs14:02

ograhttp://people.canonical.com/~amitk/ti/linux-image-2.6.33-500-omap_2.6.33-500.3_armel.deb14:53
ogrado you have unionfs in that package ?14:54
amitkogra: yes14:55
* ogra tries that instead14:55
ograurgh14:55
ogracasper dropped unionfs support14:56
ograonly unionfs-fuse is supported14:56
* ogra curses14:56
amitkwe're trouble for M :)14:56
amitkin trouble14:56
ograoh, no, i just didnt see it14:56
ograits there14:56
ograi thought aufs was about to go upstream14:57
amitkogra: aufs was rejected from upstream a year ago14:58
amitkforever14:58
amitkupstream is working on a union mount solution, but it isn't ready yet14:58
ograah, still15:02
ograi thought that was dropped in favour of including aufs15:02

ograhmm, shouldnt that be in the ubuntu subdir ? seems the whole dir is missing15:05
ograah, no, its there15:06
ograbut only compcache in it15:06
amitkogra: sigh, sorry, I forgot to add that commit in this kernel15:06
amitkit is on another branch of my git tree15:06
ograah15:07
amitkogra: so what happens with the archive kernel?15:09
amitkwrt aufs15:09
ograhrm, i didnt have a squashfs ready when i tried it last, one sec, i'll test again15:09

MartynI got in a tegra board today23:31
Martyntime from getting the board, to booting Karmic (then Lucid..)    1 hour23:32
Martyncan't wait to see the official nVidia installer23:32
rcn-eecool Martyn, so what does nVidia give you with the kit?23:34
Martynrcn-ee : Well, the tegra 250, 1Gb RAM (800MB available after video ram is allocated), WiFi, Bluetooth, 3 USB, 1 debug USB, a serial/debug breakout board, MMC slot, eMMC card slot, SIM card slot, two compact PCI-e (miniPCI) slots, VGA port, HDMI port...23:44
Martynfull SDK available, Windows 6.5 (and supposedly 7) images available, an android image based on android 2.2, and an empty promise to have an Ubuntu image for download23:45
Martyn(you hit the website and find there is no ubuntu image ready yet)23:45
rcn-eethose specs sound sweet.. they are probally waiting till closer to the release..  i was looking at their dev site, thinking it would be a nice addition to my arm farm..23:46
Martynrcn-ee : Apply for one23:46
MartynThe dev boards are one per company, $40023:46
Martynuseful and quite powerful little thing .. 1Ghz dual core23:47
rcn-eeouch, was hoping they'd be less... (my order for a touch book just went thru, so i'll have to wait a month or so)23:48
Martynfirst they have to accept your app :)23:49
rcn-eetrue...  and they might not particularly like the fact, I'll start benching them against 4 omap boards...23:50
Martync*nod*23:51
Martynhave you gotten the omap4430 eval board yet?23:51
rcn-eei wish...  I've been bugging my TI contacts for the last 6 months for that board.. ;)23:51
rcn-eei have one of the early XM proto's so as soon as i get my IGEPv2 installed into my gcc test farm, I'm going to see how far that goes.. (Single Core 800Mhz-1.2Ghz range)23:53
MartynI got mine three weeks ago, and let me tell you .. the tegra2 runs rings around it23:57
