jkridnerapparently a 2GB USB stick isn't big enough. :(01:20
jkridnerirony: it ran out of disk space copying imx51 files.01:20
jkridnerwell, of poetic interest anyway, if not irony.01:21
persiaWe usually recommend a minimum of 4G, but I've heard of 2G installs working before.  That's a bit of an unexpected result.01:24
MartynYou really do need 4G02:27
Martynunless you're just using base02:27
persiaDidn't in 9.04, but that might have been a fluke, or a side effect of a less complete port.02:28
persia(lucid being the first time that all of main compiled)02:29
Martynpersia : You may be interested in this ... a new piece of hardware arrived yesterday at the office.  I can't reveal the manufacturer, but the form factor will be familiar to you (clamshell PC) .. I was surprised to see what it had when I booted.  1330x768 screen, resistive touch, 128GB flash SSD and a quad core A9 operating at 800Mhz.02:29
MartynIn any case, it's got lucid loaded on it from the factory .. but something that most certainly is _not_ netbook remix as a front end.02:30
persiaCan you share the screen dimensions, or the DPI?02:30
persiaheh.  OK.  Maybe you can bring it to UDS, if you're lucky.02:32
persiaIf it's small enough, I want :)02:32
persiaIf it's large, just not enough pixels for me.02:32
MartynIt's about 12cm in diagonal, widescreen02:33
persiaIndeed, I'm *very* interested.02:33
MartynStacking the SL-3200 on top of it, it's a bit larger, but only by about enough to make the keyboard more comfortable to use02:33
MartynI'll ask the boss if it's okay for me to bring the thing to UDS02:33
Martynif I remove all the stickers and external identification, I think it might be02:34
persiaDoes it have the wonderful keyspacing that the 3200 used, or does it have the annoying "large" keys of e.g. the Netwalker?02:34
Martynneither... hard to describe the keyboard02:34
persiaPlease do ask if you can bring it.  That sounds nearly ideal for me, assuming other bits are in place.02:35
persiaThe Netwalker is lovely, but a bit larger than I like, and the keyboard is just plain annoying.02:35
Martynthe closest keyboard I can describe is the UMID02:36
persia(but I don't mind waiting ~6 months for retail, to make sure I have the spare funds)02:36
MartynI know this thing must be floating around Akiahabra02:36
persiaUMID is a little better than Netwalker, but still not enough space *between* the keys for my hands.02:36
persiaYeah, but you'd have to tell me what it was for me to find it there.  I didn't see them on Saturday whilst wondering about.02:37
MartynThis isn't the device -- but it's DAMNED close in form factor : http://www.dynamism.com/notebooks/umid-mbook-m1.shtml02:37
persiaRight.  That's the same base as the Onkyo I've been resisting buying.02:38
persiaOnkyo jammed in more flash (64) and an improved audio handler, and went for the faster chip.02:38
Martynhttp://www.slashgear.com/globalfoundries-28nm-arm-cortex-a9-promises-speed-frugality-boost-1581731/  (first wafer of a test chip .. there were two and the first wafer failed (thus the business card on top) )02:39
persiaBut 1366x768 lets me run 2 terminals and an IRC client, which makes me actually productive, whereas 1024x600 is just a bit too small (or too blocky)02:39
persiaYeah, I'm intrigued.  I'll bug you about it in a couple weeks.02:41
persia(but have to rush off for a bit now)02:41
MartynSee you later Emmett :)02:42

saeedericm: good job11:51
saeedericm|ubuntu: can you please send me the fixed kernel deb?11:51
saeedguys: I'm running totem with mp4 movie, the pulse audio consumes ~60% of the cpu time!!!11:52
ericm|ubuntusaeed, the link is on the LP bug description12:19
ericm|ubuntusaeed, that's possibly pulseaudio issue12:19
ndecogra: hi. i'd like to mount a ubuntu minimal FS on qemu using NFS mount. have you already tried that with the kernel you provide here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch12:20
ograndec, no, NFS might be modular in that kernel, not sure ... might be that lool tried it before though12:20
ndecogra: how did you build the kernel? which config? i can add nfs, if I know which source and which config was used12:21
ograits the linux package source12:22
ndecogra: i am planning to use qemu to build arm packages12:22
ograstd ubuntu 2.6.32 release kernel12:22
ndecogra: with the versatile_defconfig?12:23
ograright12:23
ograwell, merged with the distro config, amitk should be able to tell you what to run to merge the configs12:24
ograthere is some script iirc12:24
saeedericm|ubuntu: the had this issue in the past with speex, and it supposed to be fixed afair12:24
ericm|ubuntusaeed, I guess that's because pulseaudio is now realtime priority (for less latency) in lucid, and could possibly eat up more CPU and become unresponsive12:26
* ericm|ubuntu 's rhythmbox crashed12:27
asacndec: are you experimenting or need something that is more or less 100% reliable? you could also try to use a qemu-arm-static chroot to build packages.12:28
asacndec: with that you can then later with some tweaking use a fast cross compiler/bash from host etc.12:29
ndecasac: i don't have too much to build for now, so fast is not the biggest requirement. i just need something that works ;-) I am on travel away from my board and I want to build ARM packages12:30
saeedericm|ubuntu: hibernate works for me, without adding the resume= ofcourse12:31
asacndec: yeah. the chroot is really simple though ... just install qemu-kvm-extras-static annd then run build-arm-chroot /path/to/chroot ... then you can just chroot /path/to/chroot and are in a arm chroot12:32
asacbut testing our full qemu is also good ;)12:32
ograi think persia included qemu-arm-static support in sbuild and pbuilder12:32
ograthat should be the easiest to cross build packages12:33
* ogra doesnt know the magic runes for that though ... i think its just sbuild --arch=armel though12:33
ndecasac: qemu-arm-static is using syscall emulation, right?12:34
ograright12:34
ograas long as you dont plan to build anything mono related it should work fine for everything12:35
ndecogra: i don't know about sbuild --arch=armel12:35
ndecogra: I just prepare all my source packages, and using sbuild --arch=armel? is that what you use?12:35
ograno, i use native builds :)12:36
ericm|ubuntusaeed, do you know the current hibernation implementation on dove will work with HIGHMEM (which I doubt)12:36
ograi rarely travel without HW in my bag ... ARM boards are so small :)12:36
asachaha12:37
suihkulokkirandom arm board and assorted wires in bag is something that should be a problem at airport security12:37
suihkulokki...never been for me thou12:37
ograneither for me12:37
ograi always have enough ubuntu CDs with me to bribe the guys ;)12:37
ograand stickers ... stickers work even better ;)12:38
suihkulokkimaybe I look innocent enough to make the security people not care what the bag x-ray looks like12:38
ndecogra: well right now I am away without my arm board ;-(12:38
ograndec, well, an armel chroot should get you going then12:38
ograndec, the reciepe asac gave you above should be fine ... "install qemu-kvm-extras-static annd then run build-arm-chroot /path/to/chroot ... then you can just chroot /path/to/chroot and are in a arm chroot"12:39
ograthopugh i'd recommend approx or some other package proxy running locally ....12:40

cwillu_at_workogra, so, you're aware of rootstock hangs?13:07
cwillu_at_workI seem to be getting segfaults instead of hangs now13:07
ograyes, as i mentioned in bug 53273313:08
ubot4Launchpad bug 532733 in qemu-kvm (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 2 other projects) "apt/dpkg in qemu-system-arm hangs if a big task is installed (affects: 4) (dups: 1) (heat: 36)" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/53273313:08

* XorA found with gcc 4.5 and glibc 2.10.1 there is at least one TLS bug with qemu that causes a hang13:09
XorAI grabbed two patches to fix it from master git13:09

XorAbut I dont know if thats the same bug you guys are seeing or not13:10
ograand we use eglibc13:10

NCommanderogra: I'm not caffinated yet; I just got up ;-)16:04
ogra_cmpcso evdev is loaded for your touchscreen ?16:05
NCommanderogra: the reason I ask is that the touchscreen on the avenger is causing evdev to segfault, but tslib. I was wondering if there was a way we could blacklist evdev until it can be fixed16:05
NCommanderand when evdev segfaults, it takes the entire X stack with it16:05
ogra_cmpcwell, i guess you have to do that on a kernel/udev level16:05

ogra_cmpcand make sure that evdev either doesnt consider the device an input device or make sure the kernel exports the right stuff to make evdev actually recognize a touchscreen device16:06
ogra_cmpczumbi, that wont prevent evdev16:07
zumbiogra_cmpc: i dunno about ubuntu, but debian is moving xorg out of udev16:07

ogra_cmpceverything should be handled by kernel or udev16:08
zumbiogra_cmpc: true, sorry i was misleading16:09
ogra_cmpcwith the option to use xorg.conf.d snippets for overriding buggy settings16:09
ogra_cmpcthe question is if the snippet kicks in before evdev probes or not16:10
zumbiogra_cmpc: read Julien Cristau on the bug report16:10
ogra_cmpcand the actual bug is that the kernel doesnt export the proper constraints for the device so evdev can handle it as touchscreen16:10
ogra_cmpczumbi, yes, i see that, still its a kernel bug16:13
ogra_cmpcusing udev rules or xorg.conf.d snippets are both workarounds16:13
