[08:06] <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.
[08:58] <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?
[10:03] <lool> jo-erlend: it's a tarball with the contents of a root filesystem
[10:05] <lool> jo-erlend: so then it depends where you want your rootfs on your device
[10:05] <jo-erlend> on a microSDHC card.
[10:22] <cwillu> that's the device, yes
[10:23] <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?
[10:37] <ogra> if you replace grub with the actual arm bootloader your device needs that sentence is true
[10:38] <ogra> (and you only uncompress the tarball on the root partition, no need to copy stuff around)
[10:40] <lool> jo-erlend: It depends what your board expects
[10:41] <lool> jo-erlend: perhaps it has a builtin bootloader in Flash or something
[20:18] <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
[20:46] <lool> fabrice_sp: This might be hardware specific
[20:47] <lool> Or specifric to the armel buildds rather, for instance a bunch run a very old kernel version
[21:22] <fabrice_sp> lool, so you think I can sync the package and check if it blocks the buildds?
