Nekoif I bought a pandaboard what would I be able to expect?01:43
Nekois it going to be like beagle where I buy one now and then 4 revisions later it actually works and I am stuck with a dud? :D01:44
rsalvetiJakeJBailey: gave up of Maverick?02:31
rsalvetiNeko: well, the current one works quite ok, and it seems most of the issues are software related02:31
rsalvetiit'll probably be better than what we had for beagle, but I believe it could happen in some sort02:32
Nekorsalveti, you should be getting a smartbook tomorrow :)02:33
rsalvetiNeko: yeah, looking for it :-)02:35
Neko_where's the unity irc channel13:56
Neko_or can I ask here, what on earth is this "eglx" backend for clutter?13:56
=== hrw is now known as hrw|afk
hrw|afkembedded glx?13:57
hrw|afkbb soon13:57
Neko_does that just mean that libegl1-x11 is the backend (i.e. an EGL that runs on X?)13:57
rsalvetiNeko_: yep14:09
rsalvetiit's basically gles but compatible with x14:09
Neko_so basically, EGL that takes XDisplay as EGLDisplay or whatever14:10
rsalvetiNeko_: #ubuntu-uds-Bonaire414:10
rsalvetiyup14:10
Neko_rather than EGL which has some crazy GLX support14:10
rsalvetiin case you want to check the current unity->compiz transition14:10
rsalvetiwe're just having this session now14:10
Neko_(we noticed Cairo OpenGLES backend etc. and some others create context using GLX then render GLES with it)14:10
Neko_nah I am fine with whatever result14:11
Neko_as long as some standard GL library stuff will work and it doesn't depend on Mesa14:11
rsalvetiNeko_: yeah, it shouldn't depend it on mesa, should work just fine with gles14:12
rsalvetibut as now they are changing mutter to compiz, the gles compatibility still needs to be developed14:13
Neko_ARGH14:13
Neko_tell them it's a dumb idea. mutter is going to be fine in the future14:13
Neko_why keep using compiz just so that you can support some amd64 PC? mutter will do that. and you will update to GNOME 3 and be discarding their default window manager :D14:14
rsalvetibut they want to change it to the next cycle already, seems they had too many problems with mutter14:14
rsalvetiNeko_: do you know the current state of the gles drivers for i.MX51?14:16
Neko_rsalveti, we have the technology :D14:19
Neko_could ship something for smartbook by the end of the week but I wouldn't be proud of it14:20
rsalvetiNeko_: haha :-)14:21
rsalvetido you have the proper xdriver and etc?14:21
Neko_well14:21
Neko_let's explain the situation14:21
rsalvetiok14:21
Neko_there is a EGL, GLES1.1 GLES2.0 and OpenVG14:21
Neko_they communicate through this kernel layer (cross platform) which is in the kernel we ship, called GSL14:22
Neko_it is like DRM but it works on WindowsCE too :D14:22
Neko_Qualcomm also use it14:22
Neko_what there is, is basically EGL for X11 and EGL for framebuffer14:22
Neko_OpenGL doesn't care14:22
rsalvetigot it14:22
Neko_the Xorg 2D driver uses the OpenVG unit to accelerate EXA14:22
Neko_Freescale use UIO because they thought it was faster14:23
rsalvetiNeko_: what is the chip that handles the gles?14:23
Neko_but the original AMD interface works just as well14:23
Neko_(through GSL)14:23
rsalvetiinteresting, never saw people using openvg to accelerate exa14:23
Neko_problem: with AMD GSL for the X11 driver, everything is red14:23
Neko_they don't they're poking the hardware to do things like blits and render lines and stuff14:23
Neko_2D is 2D14:23
ogra_acnow thats a statement14:24
Neko_problem: with FSL UIO for the X11 driver, everything is fine, a bit faster, but it disables any ability to use OpenVG14:24
Neko_we hate that idea and FSL are dropping it next BSP anyway14:24
Neko_(and that has 2.6.35 in it as well, yay!)14:24
Neko_what we might do is package 3D on the basis that you can use it how you like without any X11 support for EXA or so. pixman is used in fbdev and works nice. OpenGL will render on top of it at decent speed. So will OpenVG.14:25
Neko_and then we will work out the stupid red tint bug and ship an accelerated X11 driver later14:25
Neko_hehe we just dropped pixman 0.20.0 on the smartbook and it screams along14:27
Neko_hooray14:27
rsalvetihehe14:30

Neko_font question!16:39
Neko_guys, when jaunty was around it had this nice sort of curvy console font16:40
Neko_anyone remember what it was?16:40
Neko_stuck with terminus here and missing the curvy jaunty one16:40

sebjan_ogra_ac: (working on the emmc installer) what is triggering the ubuntu image installer (asking for locale, create a user, ...) on the 1st image boot? (I have all the pieces ok, except that on the 1st boot from emmc I get a logging screen)19:33
sebjan_ogra_ac: note that we bypass jasper and try to reproduce some parts of it in another initramfs (so I may be missing something made by jasper?)19:33
=== Neko_ is now known as NekoOptometry
ogra_acsebjan_, yes you likely miss the whole of jasper_setup, and you shouldnt do the partitioning and copying by a script, debian-installer has all we need, i will work on a proper solution for natty20:08
sebjan_ogra_ac: yes, as a short term work-around we bypass jasper and try to do most of it on our side. I was missing /root/var/lib/oem-config/run. Now the installer runs. I still have to fix the default session.20:10
ogra_acthats also in jasper (will be fixed elsewhere in natty)20:11
sebjan_yes, I saw that :). I miss the call to gdm-set-default-session20:11
ogra_acin natty we will just set it at image buildtime so there wont be a need for the jasper hack20:12
sebjan_ogra_ac: where does the /usr/share/xsessions/une-efl.desktop comes from?20:12
jo-erlendN900 has gained U-Boot support. Does that mean that I could dd a flashcard, insert it and boot Ubuntu ARM on it? :)20:14
=== NekoOptometry is now known as Neko
rsalvetijo-erlend: I'm also waiting to have it on my n900 so we can try to spin an image for it20:50
rsalvetiI'm building a maverick compatible kernel that should work at the n90020:50
jo-erlendnice :)20:50
rsalvetibut still needs more testing20:50
jo-erlendI'm just trying out MeeGo as we speak :)20:51
jo-erlendthat is to say: I'm preparing to do so.20:51
rsalvetijo-erlend: cool, will ping you when I get something :-)20:51
jo-erlendgrand. :)20:51
rsalvetibut in our best case, we should have a working kernel, working initrd, and working xserver, accelerated by sgx20:51
rsalvetiall working fine, that's the goal :-)20:52
rsalvetiand with ofono you can even use the modem, and call someone :-)20:52
rsalvetibut unfortunally I don't have much time this week to search for the u-boot support20:52
jo-erlendwow! I can _call someone_ with my phone?! Awesome. :)20:52
rsalvetidoesn't seems to be public, but I can be wrong20:53
rsalvetion ubuntu, that's the awesome part ;-)20:53
jo-erlendyes, I know. :)20:53
rsalvetiout again, another ude session :-)20:54
jo-erlend:)20:55
suihkulokkirsalveti: did you look at meego 1.1 kernel yet?20:57
rsalvetisuihkulokki: that's where I'm getting the kernel patches21:14
rsalvetiand the good thing is that it's also 2.6.3521:15
jcastellanosHi all, I have a beaglebord C series and was trying to install the OMAP3 preinstalled Maverick (10.10) image, after typing in the console the setenv bootcmd 'mmc init;fatload mmc  ...     I got   ** Unable to use mmc 0:1 for fatload **    Unknown command 'source' - try 'help'.      Any Idea how to solve this?21:47
lagjcastellanos: Maverick doesn't work on BB RevC22:01
jcastellanoslag: Thanks!22:05
lagjcastellanos: np22:07
rsalvetilag: jcastellanos: it should work22:56
rsalvetithe C4 was quite well tested22:56
rsalvetiand it's officially supported by us22:56
rsalvetiit's not the recommended board from a user experience point of view22:57
rsalvetibut you can for sure run ubuntu quite well on it, if you switch to a lighter wm and etc22:57
hrwhi22:57
rsalvetihey22:59
* rsalveti out, just finished last session23:00
rsalvetianyone interested at joining the arm team? http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/canonical_UOASE/23:01
jcastellanosrsalveti: Thanks for the board info23:21
