DanaGSay, any new news on getting dkms for powervr?04:43
DanaGBeagleboard, specifically.04:43
rcn-eeone of the linaro kernel guys pinged me about it last week.. (his dvi display wasn't working) but he has some questions on my sgx module patches..04:45
DanaGIt really sucks that TI is so uptight about their graphics... they should take an example from nvidia, of all people.04:46
DanaGIt's also confusing... for an Ubuntu beagleboard, do I need psp-sdk?04:46
DanaGoh yeah, and thanks for the new setup script -- setup_sdcard.sh04:47
DanaGThough, one improvement: it needs to "inhibit" automount as gparted does, or sometimes you get "Can't reread partition table".04:48
rcn-eeumm.. TI can't do anything about it..  By licenseing the core from imgtek (first mistake), TI has some rights, but imgtek makes the rules..04:48
DanaGOr TI should at least make the build script not phail.04:48
DanaGAnd even when inhibited, the error still sometimes happens.04:48
rcn-eedo you know anyway to in inhibit, other then going into gconf and turning it off?04:49
DanaGIt's probably a dbus call.04:49
DanaGor udisks --inhibit04:50
rcn-eeinteresting, i'll give that a try tomorrow.. hopefully in time for the 10.04.1 image, thanks DanaG04:53
DanaGah, and when I tried to deploy btrfs, I got lack of fsck.btrfs.04:54
rcn-eeyeap, i've seen that too... i even added btrfs-tools to the default roostock image, thinking that would help, but no.. (even alpha-3)04:56
DanaGArgh, stupid wireshark...04:56
DanaGI try to type "usb0" in capture interface box, I get:04:57
DanaGub0s04:57
DanaGAnd wlan0 is ub0s04:57
DanaGer04:57
DanaGwan0l04:57
DanaGAnd eth0 is eh0t04:57
DanaGNote: I think the udisks call to inhibit runs only as long as the udisks command is running.04:58
DanaGSo, you may have to background it, then kill %something later.04:58
rcn-eeyeap, that's the way it looks in the man page..04:59
rcn-eeDanaG, what's weird, the package btrfs-tools contains 'fsck.btrfs' http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/btrfs-tools/filelist kinda weird it isn't found at boot..05:03
DanaGIt must not end up in the initramfs, then?05:03
DanaGARGH, stupid EEM.05:04
DanaGI see packets of type 0xbc59 from ff:ff:d6:e3:b3:a005:04
DanaGthat's not a valid MAC address!05:04
DanaGargh, and TI's mirrors are dog-slow...05:08
DanaG160 KB/sec on a connection that can do 500-600.05:08
DanaGWait, maybe it's wifi fail, or Charter fail.06:00

ograDanaG, they are not sold yet10:18

ograNCommander, which session do you try ?10:19
NCommanderogra: both UNE and UNE 2D10:19
ograUNE will just hang hard10:19

DanaGUnless it's under NDA. :(10:19
ograGrueMaster, no change with oem-config in todays image :(10:21

DanaGSay, if I were to take the GL ES apps source from the TI SDK, could I use it with the Mesa GL ES?10:23
ograNCommander, for the oem-config issues10:26
GrueMasterogra: I'll see if I can tweak with it a bit this week.10:26
NCommanderogra: ouch. I can confirm however that using the normal UNE session and not UNE 2D still causes the 2D launcher to stop10:26
NCommanderogra: can you please poke the casper bug for me?10:27
ograNCommander, if the papaerwork on the bug is done :)10:27
ogra(remember i asked you about an additional task)10:27
NCommanderogra: bah, I thought you were going to add that :-P10:28
ograright, thats the reason why i asked you :P10:28
NCommanderogra: ok, so starting the 2D launcher causes gnome panel to startup in desktop configuration, and not "normally" for UNE 2D10:29
NCommanderogra: and the 3D session starts the 2D session san panel10:29
ograyes, thats a known bug10:29
NCommanderW.T.F.10:29
ograthe 3D session shouldnt start a launcher at all10:29
ograonly the two unity panels10:29
NCommanderogra: is the 2D session known to be broken?10:29
ograbut they wont start up if you dont have proper GL support10:29
NCommanderI don't think it should be showing a normal gnome-panel10:30
ogra<NCommander> ogra: ok, so starting the 2D launcher causes gnome panel to startup in desktop configuration, and not "normally" for UNE 2D10:30
ogra<ogra> yes, thats a known bug10:30
DanaGargh, stupid PowerVR... not only are their drivers closed-source... even their freaking demos are closed-source.10:30
* NCommander hits his head10:30
NCommanderogra: so what's the fix :-)?10:30
DanaGSo you can't compile any GL ES stuff for non-PowerVR stuff.10:30
ograNCommander, oem-config needs to work again so i can move on :P10:30
DanaGOr at least, there's no GL ES glxgears!10:30
DanaGAnyway, off to bed I go nowz.10:31
ograNCommander, we have a -settings package but no settings in it yet10:31
NCommanderogra: but this worked in lucid!10:31
ograto set these up i need a working session10:31
ograGNOME changed a lot10:31
NCommander.oO(we should have used KNE)10:31
* NCommander ducks10:31
ograand the setting package we shared with the 3D launcher is gone10:31
ograbecause of unity10:32
NCommanderogra: paperwork done :-P10:32

ograi'll upload before the meeting10:32
* GrueMaster votes +1 for KNE10:35
ograhmm10:55
ograseems /var/lib/dbus/machine-id exists and is wrong on the images10:55
ograso dbus doesnt start and it tears down oem-config with it10:56

ograrsalveti, persia had one for a while14:56
ograerr14:56
ograrsavoye, indeed14:57
rsavoyeit ships with 9.04, I but I heard you can;t upgrade due to driver problems14:57
persiaI used to have one, but I dropped it in the sink.  It's a lovely machine, and I am tempted to get another almost every week.14:57
rsavoyeI just want something that's stable :-)14:57
persiaA few folks have looked at the kernel patches, but untangling what needs to be applied to current kernels (some parts are upstream) seems yet to be resolved.14:57
rsavoyefigures...14:58
persiaThere's no git tree available, so it's just a huge monolithic patch to dig through.14:58
rsavoyesomebody said they were running 10.04 on one, but just never upgraded the kernel14:59
GrueMasterInteresting.  Jaunty was armV5  (iirc). Lucid+ is armV7.15:01
rsavoye800Mhz sounds nice too15:01
GrueMasterogra: On the panda,  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[01]/online are both 1.  I assume this means they should be on.15:02
persiaGrueMaster, It's i.mx51x, so it can do v7, but who knows how stable the userspace/kernel interface is in that configuration :)15:04
persiarsavoye, My critique of the netwalker is only that I don't like the keyboard that much (the 'a' key is in the wrong place, to my mind), and that the screen doesn't lay flat (or convert into tablet mode).  Beyond that, it's lovely (even running jaunty), and there is some upstream kernel support, so you might join the several folks trying to get newer kernels there.15:06
GrueMasterYes, I know.  I was refering to the images.15:06
rsavoyepersia: I have an old Sharp 3200, same teeny keyboard15:06
persiaThe way the super-special-sharp-installer for those works, one has to make a mess of the images anyway, which makes it less important.15:07
GrueMasterDoes the raw Jaunty image work?15:07
rsavoyeas much as I'd love to jump into the kernel patches, I need to finish my current ARM hacking first15:07
persiarsavoye, Not at all.  the SL-C3200 has a *much* better keyboard.15:07
rsavoyepersia: oh no! Course I was considering using it as a build slave mostly15:07
ograGrueMaster, nope, missing kernel patches15:07
persia(and is ergonomically better overall: pity that form-factor wasn't used in the more recent devices)15:07
persiaOh, as a buildd slave, just install pbuilder on top of the sharp remix, and have at it.  Nothing blocking there.  no need to fiddle the kernel.15:08
GrueMasterHmm, interesting.  /proc/cpuinfo only shows one proc, but top shows both (one is barely awake).15:18

ogramount the boot partition, there are .bak files of kernel and initramfs16:15
GrueMasterNo.  Had to reboot a couple times during the upgrade process (thought it had locked up)  New kernel came up fine.16:15
ogracopy them around so that you boot the .bak files16:15
GrueMasterI know the process, but I doubt it is the kernel.16:16
ograwell, do you see the same on an omap3 board ?16:16
GrueMasterI haven't had a chance to try this on omap3.  The time it takes is painful.16:17
persiarsavoye, Should be able to do so: the core supports it16:24
rsavoyecool, I've tempted to buy one so I can stop sharing a C4, which is insanely slow16:25
rsavoyepersia: since you have one, is the keyboard worth it, or is the tablet one better ?16:26
GrueMasterogra: old kernel locks.  Now trying with serial console.16:26
persiarsavoye, Depends on what you want to do with it.  The tablet one is uninteresting to me (I don't want only a tablet at that size/weight).  I complain about the keyboard, but I'm seriously considering getting another one.16:28
rsavoyefor me it'd mostly be an ARM build slave, I don't like netbooks generally16:29
rsavoyethe only other difference is the mmc size, but I could add a bigger one myself16:29
persiaThat would involve soldering :)16:30
rsavoyeouch. one has 4GB, the other 8GB16:31
rsavoyemaybe an external USB drive...16:32
prpplagueGrueMaster: i'd really like to see some info on how to get the ubuntu builds working with distcc or ice to improve native compiles16:33
prpplagueGrueMaster: you guys got anyone working on that?16:34
GrueMasterThe only one that did that I know of is NCommander, but he's probably out atm.16:34
prpplagueGrueMaster: yea i asked, he only used ice once to do a couple of small compiles16:35
persiarsavoye, As a buildd slave, you *definitely* want an external drive, preferably rotary (otherwise you go through a heap of flash)16:35
GrueMasterYou could always setup an NFS share.16:35
rsavoyeUSB2 drives are cheap these days, or I could just mount space off another machine16:35
* prpplague has been experimenting with a fpga design that emulates nand flash but uses an external SATA drive16:36
rsavoyeI use NFS on my XM board, which unfortunately is useless still for doing builds :-(16:36
rsavoyesomehow I think I shouldn't hold my breath for the XM kernel fixes...16:36
GrueMasterI have a NFS share for builds and nfs-root, but not enough systems to try this with.16:36
rsavoyebut it's impossible to run GDB on a C$ when somebody else is running linpack and whetstone tests...16:37
GrueMasterrsavoye: they should be out soon.16:37
rsavoyeGrueMaster: this week ? :-)16:37
rsavoyeI'm in a crunch for time unfortunately16:37
GrueMasterI don't know, I only test them.16:37
rsavoyeI'16:37
GrueMasterSrry.16:37
prpplagueGrueMaster: other fun items on my todo list, research multi-framebuffer support in ubuntu16:37
rsavoyel'll gladly test them too :-)16:37

lagprpplague: Note the Linux version and SYSV tags16:39
prpplaguelag: ahh yea16:40
GrueMasterprpplague: If you get that working, it would greatly help my test environment.16:40
lagI've also tried stripped and static binaries16:40
lagprpplague: Also, did you test the kernel I sent you?16:40
prpplaguelag: yea looks like your cross-compiler is out of date16:41

mopdenackerrsalveti: I'm testing your 903.7rsalveti2 kernel with the alpha3 preinstalled images on my Panda17:15
rsalvetimopdenacker: nice, did it work?17:16
mopdenackerrsalveti: not completely. It's not exactly the right resolution setting. At least we can see something and read the screen, but lines look interleaved.17:17
rsalvetimopdenacker: hm, ok, i think it should set 640x480 if it can't recognize it correctly17:18
rsalvetimopdenacker: you're testing with dvi, right?17:19
mopdenackerIn graphics mode, the screen is split in 2 vertical parts.17:19
rsalvetihdmi->dvi17:19
mopdenackerrsalveti: I connected the hdmi output of the Panda to an apparently DVI-D monitor.17:19
rsalvetimopdenacker: ok17:20
mopdenackerrsalveti: let me show a picture (takes a bit of time to open my phone and take the sd card out)17:21
rsalvetimopdenacker: it'd also be interesting to see your boot log, with omapdss.debug=1 and your edid17:22
rsalvetito get the edid install the package read-edid and run parse-edid /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/edid17:24
lagmopdenacker: That is a known issue17:24
lagmopdenacker: Which monitor do you have?17:24

lagrobclark and I have seen this before17:27
rsalvetilag: http://gitorious.org/ubuntu-experimental/kernel-maverick/commits/rsalveti-ti-omap417:27
robclarkmopdenacker: if you haven't already, could you post bootlog and EDID...  I'll look in one minute17:27
ograGrueMaster, so for me its definitely dbus related, if i get to the shell after oem-config failed i can see dbus not running, it fails to start due to the file /var/lib/dbus/machine-id already existing, if i delete that file and start up dbus (service dbus start) the system hardlocks17:28
GrueMasterInteresting.17:28
GrueMasterI'm retrying on beagle now.17:28
ograthough i would still blame the kernel, dbus shouldnt be able to lock up the system hard17:29
mopdenackerrsalveti, robclark, I can already share the bootargs that work: omapdss.hdmicode=35, omapdss.hdmimode=0. I'll reboot to get the bootlog.17:30
robclarkahh, sorry, back..17:30
robclarkmopdenacker: this looks like the issue w/ framebuffer resize..17:30
rsalvetirobclark: could be17:30
ogramopdenacker, looks like you should use two mice17:30
robclarkunfortunately rsalveti was having problems with one of those patches, and I haven't had time to debug yet ;-)17:30
rsalveti:-)17:30
rsalvetirobclark: for now I'm just skipping it17:31
mopdenackerogra: good idea. We have 2 hands, why shouldn't we use 2 mice ;-)17:31
ogra:)17:31
robclarkfwiw rsalveti... what I suspect might be needed w/ that second patch, is an acquire_console_sem() before the fb_set_var() calls (in omapfb-main.c in size_notify()) and a release_console_sem() afterwards..  although that seems a bit ugly to me17:33
robclarkat least w/ my kernel, I get some backtraces because of a callback that is called indirectly from fb_set_var() which is expecting console lock to be held17:34
rsalvetirobclark: oh, ok, makes sense17:34
robclarkmy theory is that on your kernel that somehow causes a more severe result than just warning msg17:34
rsalvetirobclark: probably, as the screen seems to be fine but it stays with just a black screen17:35
rsalvetilag: installing your kernel17:35
rsalvetilag: what's the difference?17:36
lagrsalveti: Cheers buddy17:36
rsalvetilag: 2.6.34-903-omap4 (root@tangerine): working fine with my usb17:43

rsalvetijust don't compile u-boot with 4.5 hehe17:49
rsalvetiogra: did you had time to look at the pybootchartgui bug?17:51
mopdenackerrsalveti, robclark: here's the bootlog. Unfortunately, there are module loading errors because I couldn't install the package (board not fully booted yet)17:52
mopdenackerhttp://pastebin.com/QrvhMEaN17:52
rsalvetimopdenacker: you can install the package using qemu, with your sd card at your host pc17:52
rsalvetior just copy the kernel modules17:52
robclarkk, will look in a few minutes... in a call again :-(17:53
rsalvetimopdenacker: can you also get the edid from it?17:53
mopdenackerrsalveti: how can I get it? I don't see it in the boot log...17:54
rsalvetimopdenacker: adding omapdss.debug=1 to the boot args would help also, so we can get more information from the display driver17:55
rsalvetimopdenacker: after login, get the dmesg output17:55
mopdenackerrsalveti: ah, right! Thanks17:55
rsalvetiso you can get the debug lines from the kernel17:55
mopdenackerNot sure I will get to a command line. I'll copy/paste the serial console.17:55
rsalvetimopdenacker: to get the edid, install the package read-edid and run parse-edid /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/edid17:56
rsalvetimopdenacker: you can change the boot.scr from your sd card17:56
rsalvetiand add the command line argument you want17:56
mopdenackerrsalveti: right.17:56
rsalvetimopdenacker: put your sd card at your host, mount the first partition and you'll see the boot.scr17:57
rsalvetimopdenacker: dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=7217:57
rsalvetithen edit boot.script17:57
rsalvetiand run mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.script boot.scr to generate the boot.scr again17:58
mopdenackerrsalveti: thanks, I already have these details on OMAPpedia.17:58
rsalvetiok :-)17:58
mopdenackerand I already have done this.17:58
mopdenackerAnyway, thanks for the dd tip to create the boot.script file. I didn't think of this.17:59
mopdenackerThis is a kind of "uboot dump-image" command ;-)17:59
mopdenackerrsalveti: sorry, I really gotta go now. Is the EDID the only thing you need?18:00
rsalvetiedid and dmesg with omapdss.debug=118:00
rsalvetiwith this we can check what went wrong18:00
mopdenackerrsalveti: good! Thanks a lot! I'll be away from my board tomorrow, but you will have these on Thursday.18:02
