cwillu_at_workI hate vts00:04
cwillu_at_workI also hate Xorg, non-kms drivers, and the lack of a good way of making xsplash act like plymouth00:05

XorAogra: L24.7 kernel improves the native compile issue on omap410:13
ogra_cmpcXorA, aha, cooloney can you rebase our package ? ^^^10:26
ogra_cmpcXorA, does git work with it now ?10:27
cooloneyogra_cmpc: ok, let me look, thanks for head up10:28
XorAogra_cmpc: that still fails :-(10:29
XorAfatal: git fetch_pack: expected ACK/NAK, got ''10:29
ogra_cmpcbah10:29
XorA24.7 isnt at final release yet I beleive10:30
cooloneyXorA: yeah, got a new branch L24.7 with a new tag:  L24.7-pre-release10:37
XorAgot as far as fs/partitions/msdos.o before kernel build dies now10:38
markos_ogra: ok, finally I got the first hardfp image (ubuntu-minimal), I had to modify rootstock (named the script to rootstock-native) to make it work without qemu. I still have a couple of probs, mainly I have to preset some debconf values in console-setup otherwise I can't output everything to the logfile -I could use tee, but I'd like the process to be totally automated11:18
markos_now building ubuntu-standard11:19
markos_I'll upload them soon11:19
loolmarkos_: Cool11:19
ogramarkos_, great11:19
ograonce you are done, gimme a bzr branch to merge :)11:19
markos_ogra: I'll file rootstock-native as a bug report to LP11:19
ograor that11:20
markos_I don't use bzr :)11:20
markos_I'm more of a hg/svn person :)11:20
markos_(tbh, I've never used bzr, so I'm indifferent)11:20
loolthe photos from http://www.netbooknews.de/16929/arm-freescale-ibm-samsung-st-ericsson-und-ti-schliessen-linux-buendnis/ are decent, but did someone find a video or the slides from the launch presentation?11:21
loolECHAN11:21
loolBTW, Ubuntu is used as part of Linaro which was launched today at Computex; it's an important ARM effort for us11:22
zumbigreat! is linaro a meego competing project?11:30
zumbixilinx is missing on the partner list :) (I think it would be good to have them)11:31
markos_ogra: #58910411:32
amitkzumbi: no, not competing11:32
ograthanks11:32
amitkzumbi: linaro will contribute directly to upstream and distros like meego can use that work11:32

ogradev__, no, ubuntu-arm is ubuntu12:33
dev__ok12:34
ograthere will still be the ubuntu-arm channel and an ubuntu-arm team that specifically works on ubuntu stuff and builds ubuntu images12:34
dev__Can you point any link which will give me clear idea about relation of Ubuntu-ARM and linaro community ?12:35
amitkdev__: read the faq on linaro.org. It should answer your questions12:35
amitkhttp://www.linaro.org/faqs12:35
amitkogra: perhaps the faq link should be in topic12:36
ograi wonder if i could drop the debian eabi stuff12:36

cwillu_at_workomapfb works fine with -nr, just needs a pScrn->canDoBGNoneRoot  = 1; in the driver15:17
ogra_cmpccwillu_at_work, what for do you use that ?15:19
cwillu_at_workogra_cmpc, plymouth?15:20
ogra_cmpcemulating KMS behavior ?15:20
cwillu_at_workplymouth uses that even with kms15:20
ogra_cmpcah15:20
cwillu_at_workit seems that kms basically allows a driver to act somewhat like omap's frame buffer already works15:20
ogra_cmpccool15:21
ogra_cmpcKMS support for omapbf was discussed at UDS btw15:21
cwillu_at_workso the only thing needed to get a slick transition to gdm is that one line in the omapfb driver15:21
cwillu_at_workwell, and a nice x11 renderer for plymouth if you want to hide your initialization too, but ya15:21
ogra_cmpccould it do any harm to other functionallity ?15:22
cwillu_at_workno, it's only used as an arg to xorg15:23
ogra_cmpcah, good15:23
ogra_cmpclets add it then :)15:23
cwillu_at_workit's checked when blanking the root window, and that's it15:23
cwillu_at_workI threw it in to the end of the pScrtn-><foo> = <bar> block in omapfb-driver.c:23215:23
cwillu_at_workand the check where it's used is xorg-server-1.7.6/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Init.c:305:  if (bgNoneRoot && pScrn->canDoBGNoneRoot) {15:25
cwillu_at_work(bgNoneRoot is the -nr option)15:25
ogra_cmpcah15:25
cwillu_at_workogra, is displaying a boot splash on multiple console's (specifically, multiple console= entries) actually a desired usecase?16:05
ogracwillu_at_work, not really, but having it not break if console=ttyS* is set is one16:06
cwillu_at_workdefine "not break"16:06
ograwell, it shouldnt affect tty0 if i define console=16:07
cwillu_at_workI'm going to do that thing where I make it do what I need it to do, and then describe what I did :p16:10
ograwell, it would be cool if you would produce an upstreamable fix :)16:12
cwillu_at_workone of these days I should figure out ppa's16:16
ograwont help you for arm16:21
ograwe dont provide arm ppas yet16:21
cwillu_at_workogra, remind me, what was the actual bug with plymouth and console= again?17:29
cwillu_at_workjust made a big loop, having gotten the behaviour I wanted, then backing out changes until it broke again.17:30
ogracwillu_at_work, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51682517:30
ubot2Launchpad bug 516825 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "plymouth doesnt show any splash as soon as a console= commandline option is used on boot (affects: 2) (heat: 12)" [Medium,Fix released]17:30
cwillu_at_workThe funny thing is that I backed out _all_ of my changes to the package, and it works :)17:30
ograheh17:31
ograyeah, plymouth is a myth17:31
cwillu_at_workso, console=tty1 should definitely not work?17:31
ograwell, the bug is fix released17:31
ograhttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22239 is the upstream bug for it17:32
ubot2Freedesktop bug 22239 in plymouth general "improve console= handling" [Normal,New]17:32
ogra- Make VT mandatory for renderer plugins, so we fallback gracefully to text when the console is not a VT.17:33
ograthats the changelog entry for the fix in the package17:33
ograseems slangasek fixed that one17:33
cwillu_at_workokay, that makes some sense17:33
cwillu_at_workit's broken in the two console case17:34
ograor, no, it was Keybuk17:34
ograyes17:34
cwillu_at_workI can set console=tty0 or I can set console=ttyS2,115200n817:34
ograbut tty1 shoudl work17:34
cwillu_at_workbut setting both breaks it17:34
ograright17:34
ograso the upstream bug is still there17:34
cwillu_at_workon the other hand, if you have a bootsplash, it doesn't matter so much that you don't have boot output on tty117:35
