| jo-erlend | I'm entirely new to the ARM platform, and I got my IGEPv2 yesterday. Now, I want to get Ubuntu up and running. As I understand it, there should be packages ready and available? I found two armel images on the download site. Which one should I use? IGEPv2 is based on Cortex-A8. | 08:06 |

| jo-erlend | I'm using rootstock to generate a new image for my IGEPv2. I'll put it on a microsdhc card and boot from it. Rootstock gives me a .tgz-file. What do I do with it? | 08:58 |
| lool | jo-erlend: it's a tarball with the contents of a root filesystem | 10:03 |
| lool | jo-erlend: so then it depends where you want your rootfs on your device | 10:05 |
| jo-erlend | on a microSDHC card. | 10:05 |
| cwillu | that's the device, yes | 10:22 |
| jo-erlend | in other words, I need to manually create partitions, setup file systems, install grub on the mbr, etc and then simply copy the files over to the respective filesystems? | 10:23 |
| ogra | if you replace grub with the actual arm bootloader your device needs that sentence is true | 10:37 |
| ogra | (and you only uncompress the tarball on the root partition, no need to copy stuff around) | 10:38 |
| lool | jo-erlend: It depends what your board expects | 10:40 |
| lool | jo-erlend: perhaps it has a builtin bootloader in Flash or something | 10:41 |

| fabrice_sp | Hi, I'm looking at bug 586760 for sponsoring, and I'm wondering if anyone with a working qrmel qemu image can try to build the package from Debian? | 20:18 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 586760 in atlas (Ubuntu) "Please merge atlas 3.8.3-22 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) (affects: 2) (heat: 10)" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/586760 | 20:18 |
| fabrice_sp | the FTBFS in armel is the only change left | 20:18 |
| lool | fabrice_sp: This might be hardware specific | 20:46 |
| lool | Or specifric to the armel buildds rather, for instance a bunch run a very old kernel version | 20:47 |
| fabrice_sp | lool, so you think I can sync the package and check if it blocks the buildds? | 21:22 |
