rlameirorsalveti: are you there?01:46
persiarlameiro, Just quiet on the weekends, mostly.  I don't believe there are too many hobbyists here yet.02:42
rlameiro:)02:42
rlameirowell, here I am02:42
rlameirofiddling with it02:42
persiaYep :)02:42
rlameiroon top of that the video output is shifting completely the image on the tv to the left and overscaning02:43
rlameiro...02:43
rlameirothere is something on the ubuntu kernel/uInitrd that bypass the uboot omafbdirectives02:44

dcordesogra: Any smartbook news ?13:35
ogra_cmpcdcordes, http://tosh-ac100.wetpaint.com/thread/4253563/kernel+boot13:38
dcordesogra_cmpc: good stuff13:39
marvin24_hi, we also have a channel (another one ;-) -> #ac10013:51
ogra_cmpcmarvin24, awesome13:53
* ogra_cmpc joins13:54
ogra_cmpcpersia, ^^^^14:24
dcordesmarvin24_: cool14:25
persiaI'm excited, but don't have the attention for another channel just now.14:25
ogra_cmpcpersia, i meant the url :)14:25
persiathe URL looks very promising indeed.14:26
ogra_cmpcyes14:26
ogra_cmpci can boot android from a local kernel14:26
ogra_cmpcusing this reciepe14:26
persiaCan you boot a useful operating system?14:26
ogra_cmpcprobably ... the prob is that i cant get any visible console14:27
dcordesah14:27
dcordescommon androidism14:27
persiaconsoles are overrated :)14:27
ogra_cmpctrying the tegra kernel with omap4 rootfs doesnt get me anywhere either14:28
* ogra_cmpc just tries with a panda SD here 14:28
dcordesogra_cmpc: check if you have framebuffer console (fbcon) enabled in your kernel ( /proc/conf.gz )14:30
ogra_cmpcdcordes, its off14:30
ogra_cmpcthats the prob :)14:30
dcordesogra_cmpc: ok. did you also request the sources ?14:30
ogra_cmpcno14:31
ogra_cmpcand i didnt checl the link from the EULA for two weeks either14:31
ogra_cmpcac100 is a weekend project for me14:31
ogra_cmpcso i'm very slow on it14:32
dcordesto me all of this is a weekend project ;)14:32

ogra_cmpcpersia, so i have a way to run a full ubuntu netboot session ... but no input devices work at all17:27
ogra_cmpcs/netboot/netbook17:28
ajayhi all , i have connected usb to serial adapter which is detected as /dev/ttyUSB0 and then i have connected to it a straight null modem cable which i have shorted at 2 and 3 pin number but  i am not able print anything in minicom or getting echo of it17:51
persiaogra, Nice progress.  My recommendation would be to start an image that allowed ssh so you can get in there, and then play with input-utils to see where things are wrong: sounds like issues with the HID drivers.22:56
ogra_cmpcpersia, heh, that would require xinput to work at all23:01
ogra_cmpcthe system is still chrooted23:02
ogra_cmpcno udev, no upstart23:02
ogra_cmpcthe android system is the most minimal but its still a chrooted android23:03
persiaAh, without udev, I have little advice.  But working with ssh/input-utils shouldn't require xinput for a properly constructed image.23:03
ogra_cmpcwell, the touchpad works with an xorg.conf23:04
persiaAnd if input-utils can't deal with a device, the chances that xinput knows what to do are strikingly low (unless, for some reason, one is dealing with non-HID devices)23:04
ogra_cmpcthe kbd is recognized in the logfile23:04
ogra_cmpcbut doesnt hand anything through23:04
ogra_cmpc[ 11283.000] Generic KBD: dropping event due to full queue!23:04
ogra_cmpcthats what i see in the log23:05
persiaTouchpad can be fixed with some udev properties then: that's trivial.  keyboard probably still requires fiddling with input-utils to make sure there is connectivity, symbol mapping, etc.23:05
ogra_cmpci dont need to ssh ... androids adb shell is running23:05
persiaIf you don't need to ssh, install input-utils, and try to probe the keyboard.  I've locked up a couple systems doing that with exceedingly exotic input devices, (reboot was always clean), but usually they get enough low-level information that one can make the higher levels work.  Might need udev properties.  Might need remapping.  Might need explicit support in the HID driver, etc.23:07
ogra_cmpcwell,, no udev properties possible without udev :)23:09
persiaNo, but it's possible to determine which properties are required :)23:11
* persia really ought file some remapping for the Saitek Commander one of these days.23:11
ogra_cmpc/dev/input/event023:11
ogra_cmpcprotocol version mismatch (expected 65537, got 65536)23:11
ogra_cmpcthats what i get for :/# input-kbd /dev/input/event023:12
ogra_cmpcsame thing for input-evente23:14
ogra_cmpc*input-events23:14
persiaBother.  I thought I fixed that.23:14
ogra_cmpcwell, given the million lines of " Generic KBD: dropping event due to full queue!" in the xorg log ...23:15
ogra_cmpcthat might not actually be input-utils fault23:15
ogra_cmpci wish we still would build the old kbd driver for x23:16
ogra_cmpcso i had actually some alternative to try23:16
ogra_cmpcbut there is only evdev nowadays23:16
persiainput-utils queries the kernel directly.  Nothing to do with X.  It makes debugging the new X input scheme *much* easier.  This is all good: don't be nostalgic: it used to take forever for those of us who cared to painstakingly map things in the kernel and then *do it all over again* in an X driver.23:17
persiaTry `input-kbd 0` rather than /dev/input/event023:18
persiaAlso, try lsinput to make sure 0 is your keyboard :)23:18
ogra_cmpc:/# lsinput23:21
ogra_cmpc/dev/input/event023:21
ogra_cmpcprotocol version mismatch (expected 65537, got 65536)23:21
persiaRight.  Kernel bug :)23:21
ogra_cmpcwell23:21
ogra_cmpc[12262.640000] init: untracked pid 20189 exited23:22
ogra_cmpcandroid *is* a kernel bug23:22
persiaYep.23:22
* persia decides to sort out why the W axis isn't working on this mouse another day, and goes in search of food.23:22
ogra_cmpcyeah, i'll better finish the day :)23:23
