=== lilstevie is now known as lilstevie|ZNC [04:22] Hi so I'm trying to get ubuntu running on the pandaboard. Problem I have is that I don't ahve a monitor atm and trying to get it working so I can login over terminal so I can start doing stuff to it [04:22] Setup ssh etc. [04:23] at any rate, I use setenv bootargs console=ttyO2,115200n8 serialtty=ttyO2 rw rootwait mem=463M elevator=noop vram=32M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 as boot.scr (and some other stuff) [04:23] still I only get kernel output, no login and such [04:23] topfs2: to get login you need to create the ttyO2.conf file at /etc/init/ [04:23] like tty1.conf [04:23] but with getty ttyO2 115200 [04:24] oh ok, will try that [04:24] thanks [04:24] then upstart calls getty with the proper console [04:24] for example, change "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" to "exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyO2" [04:28] awesome, I got a login :D [04:28] thanks rsalveti ! [04:28] you don't happen to know the std user and pass? [04:37] topfs2: there's none, because it calls the oem-config and ask you to create the proper user account [04:38] so no way to login? [04:38] without booting with monitor? [04:38] no, you need to hack up the image [04:38] you can remove the root password request, and then create one [04:38] or get inside with chroot, then you can create it with adduser [04:39] hmm, chroot seems best [04:39] I'll try that [04:39] if you need a minimum rootfs you can also create it with rootstock [04:39] and then use it at the second sd card partition [04:39] then you can also request a user to be created during image build time [04:40] Should that be ok to do with panda aswell? [04:42] topfs2: yup [04:54] haha, hand editing /etc/shadow worked wonders ;) [04:54] thanks for the help [05:02] np [05:05] next step, getting usb network. thats always fun === hrw|gone is now known as hrw [14:01] hi [14:33] I feel that next week will be interesting for me in arm world [14:34] kde in natty/armel is behind natty/amd64 so my smartbook has x11 problems... will use pandaboard for local rebuilds [14:36] hi eric [14:37] rsalveti: Thanks [14:38] rsalveti: I'll speak more with jcastellanos to figure out what's going on when he reappears === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening === lilstevie|ZNC is now known as lilstevie === hrw is now known as hrw|uds [16:11] where plans for work on efikamx smart[top|book] devices will be synchronized/discussed? irc or ubuntu-mobile ML? [16:31] hrw|uds, let's start with irc first and see if we have needs for a specific list or if an existing one can be useful for us [16:32] wii markos_ [16:32] ops [16:34] markos_: how many things needs to be done then just kernel? flash-kernel, initrd stuff, xorg-xserver, gstreamer imx51 codecs? [16:35] you want the complete list? :) [16:36] I think that such one needs to be created at one point [16:37] there already is, it's just too long to paste here [16:37] but yeah, the ones you mentioned are already included, and high on the list [16:37] ok [17:51] Is pulseaudio working properly on ARM? [17:52] I.e. can I consider using it, or should I rather rely on direct access to alsa? === JaMa is now known as JaMa|Off [18:37] anybody ? [18:57] sveinse, it works [19:01] Can someone grant me access to an Ubuntu arm box to port gcl and its dependencies? [19:26] I Wanna port linux to my ARM netbook [19:26] anybody can help ? [19:32] gean: What notebook do you have? [19:34] Chinese One [19:35] ARM926EJ - Anyka AK7802 [19:35] 128 RAM [19:35] 266 Mhz Proc. [19:35] I've done my toolkit ( Binutils + gcc) for cross-compiling [19:36] but lacks the kernel [19:36] gean: don't you have any bsp or toolchain from the Anyka? [19:36] gean: You're going to struggle with that much RAM [19:37] ahahaha so much [19:37] gean: 128M RAM is not enough for ubuntu, i think [19:37] cooloney: cross-compiling shouldn't be an issue [19:37] RAM and proc specs will cripple you [19:37] i just need kind of blackbox or a lighter box [19:38] gean: what's kind of OS in this notebook [19:38] originally? [19:39] gean: Google is your friend here [19:39] no need for ubuntu, I'm using it at this desktop .. for the netbook it will be very slow ( if runs ... ) [19:39] gean: People has Linux running on it [19:39] WinCE [19:39] gean: yeah, i got it [19:39] gean: no kernel = no linux [19:40] Man .. i saw many things .. but officialy there is not any bsp [19:40] for this model .. [19:40] gean: so what's the cpu's model number? [19:40] no kernel patches [19:41] cooloney : anyka AK-7802 [19:42] wince says ARM926-AKCHIP [19:43] there is not win .. probably need hack it [19:44] but i never done such of thing ... any help would be appreciated [19:53] anyone know anything about compcache/ramzswap support in initrd? [19:53] it doesn't seem to do anything [19:53] module is loaded by the initrd scripts but it's not set up for some reason [19:53] (I tried 25 % and 96 M in the file and it never happens) [20:56] getting frustrated with beagleboard and nfsroot [20:56] ikke-t: bbxm? [20:56] bb c4 [20:56] auch [20:56] unfortunately [20:57] but with usb eth [20:57] network works [20:57] but now boot is complaining about not getting to lock nfs stuff, try with option '-o nolock' [20:57] well, it doesn't read the option from kernel params [20:57] statd not running? [20:58] statd on nfs host or bb? [20:58] host I assume [20:58] iirc you should have portmap + statd + lockd working [20:58] ? [20:58] do not remember. long time since last nfsroot [20:58] hmm, just changed the host onto debian, maybe something missing from install. [20:58] just installed kernel-nfs and nfs-common [20:59] nfs-kernel-server that is [21:00] * hrw|uds -> sessions [21:02] apt-cache doesn't find statd [21:04] yahoo, found it from /etc/default/nfs-common [21:04] \o/ [21:17] no-luck, gets stuck at the same point as the earlier server. somewhere after reading fstab, since it complained about typo in fstab on nfsroot [21:18] last message on screen being "Begin: Running /scriptsinit-bottom ...done." [21:18] and happily stays there and doesn't answer even ping. pretty dead looking to me. [21:19] i wonder if this works for somebody? [21:19] beagleboard nfsroot -boot, ubuntu maverick. [21:21] hmmm. kernel hung? echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this [21:21] message [21:22] doesn't sound promising [21:25] ikke-t: what I would do: remove / from fstab, check. check for statd/lockd/portmap on host and on target [21:29] hrw|uds: statd/portmap running on host, removed / from nfsroot/etc/fstab [21:29] no difference: [21:30] ;( [21:31] i wonder should ubuntu init honor the console setting from kernel params? [21:31] now it jumps to print on screen instead of serial at some point [21:32] INFO: task bluetoothd:576 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [21:33] stuck. [22:03] hello [22:05] I wrote an algorithm which when run on 486 processor takes 15 seconds, and on ARM takes 15 minutes. Same input data. Anyone has a clue why, or where to start looking? [22:08] acid, the algorithm is probably relying on libraries that are implemented ina completely different way, such that something which was cheap on the 486 isn't on arm [22:09] post the source on a pastebin if you want any more detail [22:26] cwillu; sec, I will [22:30] cwillu; http://pastebin.com/CBMZZZ1W [22:30] cwillu; this is no the whole thing, just the most expencive part. [22:31] and [22:31] this is actually not my code, I just rewrote some parts of it [22:31] :P [22:31] b/c they were slow... [23:15] rsalveti, Just wanted to say that the kernel image I have doesn't seem to have the parameter. I checked ls /sys/module/smsc95xx/parameters/ and it just gives me turbo_mode. Is there any place youhave your kernel images so I could perhaps make a rootstock of them? [23:21] and for others that might wonder what I'm on about its the http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/maverick/release/ for omap4 [23:21] Seems like it might be missing the macaddr parameter for the ethernet on panda [23:21] topfs2: weird, it's in our upstream kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c;h=a3c8fe6e639eda5ec4eeb1cedf28e297d6386c37;hb=refs/heads/ti-omap4 [23:21] module_param(macaddr, charp, 0); [23:21] oh awesome your here :) [23:22] yeah its rather weird, perhaps I should try to build a kernel myself and see [23:22] Or is there any daily ones available somewere? [23:23] topfs2: nops, just the one at the archive [23:23] topfs2: if you are using maverick as a host you can quickly cross compile it [23:23] Yup using maverick so I could probably check into that [23:23] Do you know if there is any docs about it? [23:24] but rsalveti it should show up in that ls right? so I'm not doing something wrong? [23:26] topfs2: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2010/10/19/how-to-cross-compile-arm-kernel-under-ubuntu-10-10/ [23:26] topfs2: and yes, you're right, it should be there [23:26] awesome, I'll try compiling one then [23:26] thanks for the help [23:26] kernel is easy to compile [23:26] just CROSS_COMPILE=toolchain- ARCH=arm [23:27] topfs2: what did you get when you set up the macaddr argument at the kernel cmd line? [23:27] though your building kpkgs so hrw's stuff probably helps there [23:27] rsalveti, should it be different if I have or not added it to the kernel commadn line? because I added it then checked the ls when it didn't work [23:28] topfs2: module_param(macaddr, charp, 0); [23:29] the 0 is the perm argument [23:29] @perm: visibility in sysfs [23:29] aha [23:29] So perhaps I just have done it wrong in the kernel command line [23:29] perm sets the visibility in sysfs: 000 means it's [23:29] not there, [23:29] topfs2: probably [23:30] I tried just plain macaddr="foo" and smbc95xx.macaddr= (this one mostly as I wanted to try abit more) [23:30] *smsc95xx [23:31] setenv bootargs console=ttyO2,115200n8 serialtty=ttyO2 rw rootwait mem=463M elevator=noop vram=32M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 macaddr="00:11:22:33:44:55" [23:31] smsc95xx.macaddr=01:23:45:67:89:AB should work [23:32] try this one [23:32] Oh, without " " [23:32] I'll try that [23:35] Sorry, need to vanish for a quicky, gonna go and buy beer before it closes [23:35] :-) [23:39] topfs2: try modinfo if it's buildt asa module [23:40] or check /sys/module [23:54] * rsalveti will be out for now, uds party
