ograthe linker fails12:58
ogra:(12:58
hrwlinking qt took so far 1.5GB of memory and still linking13:01
ograheh, but it doesnt fail for you at least13:02
* ogra curses intel centric code13:02
hrwogra: with 10GB of swap it should not13:02

hrwauch13:03
* hrw -> off13:03
rsalvetihrw: I was only able to pass the linking part with 1gb of swap13:04
ograrsalveti, static no-neon change for QT re-uploaded13:11
ograwaiting for approval13:12
ogra(just FYI)13:12
rsalvetiogra: cool, thanks13:12
RobotGuyWe've got Pico Node running on a Beagle-xM with Ubuntu 10.10 now. :)13:13
ogracongrats13:13
rsalvetiogra: what is the package version? will push the same one with with neon on the ppa13:13
rsalveticool :-)13:13
RobotGuyThanks. :)13:13
ograrsalveti, ubuntu4.1 again13:13
ScottKrsalveti: Once it's there, would you please point me at it, I know some people that will definitely want it.13:14
ograi hope it doesnt clash with anything, please wait until i have confirmation13:14
rsalvetiScottK: sure13:14
RobotGuyUbuntu is proving way more stable and nice than Angstrom, especially for networking.13:14
rsalvetiogra: ok13:14
ScottKogra: Since it was source accepted the version number is used.  You'll have to bump it.13:14
ograslangasek said he removed 4.1 from proposed but i'm not sure that removes everything13:14
RobotGuyI also have two different wireless dongles working with Beagle and Ubuntu. :)13:14
ograScottK, hmm, k13:15
* ogra hasnt seen any wireless dongles that dont work on ubuntu 13:17
RobotGuyogra: Cool. :) Ubuntu is very wireless friendly. :)13:17
ograwe try our best :)13:18
RobotGuyI think moving to Ubuntu for Pico Node was the best choice. :)13:18
RobotGuyWe are working on getting a 2.6.36 kernel up on it now.13:19
rsalvetishouldn't be that hard, as maverick's 2.6.35 is quite similar with upstream13:22
RobotGuyWe have a problem with an undefined symbol.13:22
ograrsalveti, so ubuntu4.2 it is (and uploaded, waiting for approval)13:22
rsalvetiogra: ok, that will be accepted13:23
rsalvetithanks13:23
RobotGuyWhen I put a beagleboard on my robot, it will have WiFi. :)13:24
ograyou will even be able to run a unity robot with it *g*13:26
RobotGuyUnity robot??13:26
RobotGuyMy robot is W.A.L.T.E.R.13:27
RobotGuyRight now, I am focused on Pico Node though, and getting it completed.13:33
ograhmm, so it needs that for lightspark to build we need some assembler guy to re-write the SSE asm stuff for arm13:40
ograto bad13:40
hrwogra: since ubuntu uses .35 kernel I do not see such neither13:43
hrwogra: lucid ignored one of my wifi dongles13:43
ograbad dongle :P13:43
ograi just said i havent seen any that doesnt work ... doesnt mean that there arent any13:44
hrwvery good dongle ;D13:44
ogra:)13:44
hrw80211n one13:44
ograwell, all i have and all my friends have did work :)13:45
ograbut then i dont buy exotic HW13:46
hrw;)13:47
hrwit was cheapest 802.11n usb dongle13:47
hrwworked fine with my x86 machines13:47
* ogra goes for food13:50
Neko_hey guys if I have a kernel with built-in modules like pata and then replace it with a kernel with pata as a module how do I force initramfs-tools to include that module if it cannot detect it14:49
Neko_/etc/initramfs-tools/modules should suffice right?14:52
cwillu_at_workNeko_, it should, although initramfs.conf -> MODULES=most should take care of it to, I'd expect14:58
ben_kludgedeureka    pretty simple install maverick on beagle  did the aptitude install for the full gui but then had to aptitude install for the x11vnc   cannot start the x11vnc any ideas?15:02

ograif modules.dep is properly generated it should just be pulled in15:02
Neko_cwillu_at_work, modules=most doesn't seem to cover it and I can't work out where it gets this list15:10
cwillu_at_workmodules.dep as ogra said15:14
cwillu_at_work/etc/initramfs-tools/modules should suffice, it's just nice to have things working properly15:14
cwillu_at_work(and by nice, I mean very nearly vital :p)15:15
Neko_modules.dep doesn't really tell anything to initramfs-tools though does it?15:17
Neko_like "I actually need this to boot"15:18
Neko_it will just pull in the ones the ones you list are dependent on too15:18
Neko_how would it know from modules.dep that pata_fsl is required to boot from pata15:18
cwillu_at_workthat's what the "most" is for though15:18
Neko_how does it tell what to not put in15:19
Neko_is there a list of modules pointless to have in initramfs which it culls out so most != everything?15:20
dmartdunno - I guess everything except storage and filesystem-related drivers are not useful in there15:21
dmartYou could try booting with rdinit=/bin/sh and see what modules actually end up loaded in the initramfs environment15:21
ograyou might have toi add the module in question to hook_functions, some module sets are hardcoded in there15:26
ograi.e. network card drivers definitely are15:26
ograhave a look at the auto_add_modules() function in there15:29
cwillu_at_workat which point you might just want to add the damn module to the modules file :p15:35
ograwell, if the module sits in a proper kernel dir it will get auto copied15:36
ograi guess its another of these broken platform modules15:36
cwillu_at_workI'm trying to remember if pata is the deprecated one15:36
ograthat dont live in the right kernel subdir15:37
ograit should live under kernel/drivers/ata15:37
cwillu_at_worki.e., isn't it unified with scsi now?15:37
ograthen it should live in kernel/drivers/scsi15:37
ograor if its more generic it shoudl live in kernel/drivers/block15:37
* cwillu_at_work waits for his home machine to answer the phone15:38
cwillu_at_workusing ide on that one, it'll know :p15:38
cwillu_at_work... pick up the syn15:38
cwillu_at_workugh, dynip fail15:38
* cwillu_at_work retries the ip from his webserver15:39
cwillu_at_workthere we go15:40
ograoh, there is also kernel/drivers/ide :)15:40
ograthat might be very old pata15:40
cwillu_at_workthat's the one that's deprecated15:40
ograyep15:40
cwillu_at_workNeko_, which module are you looking for again?15:41
ograwell, initramfs-tools cpoies it nontheless15:41
ogra*copies15:41
cwillu_at_workNeko_, there's no "pata" module15:41
cwillu_at_worknot sure there ever was15:41
cwillu_at_workjust a bunch of device specific pata_*.ko15:42
cwillu_at_workpata_fsl15:42
ograi guess thats what he means15:42
cwillu_at_workI don't have that driver15:42
ogralikely living ion some odd platform subdir15:43
ograinstead of a kernel subsystem dir15:43
cwillu_at_workI checked the whole modules folder15:43
ograyou dont have his kernel :)15:43
cwillu_at_workand I'm not looking at an arm machine15:43
cwillu_at_work(what arm machines have ide on them, that actually work with recent ubuntu?)15:43
ograthat too, but he likely uses a special fsl kernel as usual15:43
ogranone15:44
ogradove has SATA15:44
cwillu_at_workNeko_, quit using non-existing hardware15:44
ograwe dont support FSL anymore, but i think their latest babbage boards have a plain PATA port15:44
ograso theye might also use pata_fsl15:44
ograbut i cant tell, since we dont support it anymore :)15:45
ogra(the releases of FSL babbage we supported didnt have PATA)15:45
hrwpata_fsl is in 2.6.31-fsl tree15:54
hrwand it is using libata15:54
ograwell, the auestion is where the module lives15:55
ogra*question15:55
ogramust be a path that initramfs-tools copies15:55
ograelse its left out15:55
hrw./drivers/ata/pata_fsl.o15:55
ograand initramfs tools only cares for proper kernel subsystem dirs15:55
ograkernel/drivers/ata is copied with MODULES=most15:56
Neko_okay16:02
ograboot with brak=premount16:02
Neko_lemme get back with steev and see if he can get some debug16:02
ogra*break=premount16:02
ograthat will drop you into the initramfs shell so you can inspect16:03
Neko_ok16:03
ograif it really lives in that dir, i would suspect it gets copied but doesnt load16:03
Neko_that is the effect we're assuming16:03
ograright16:03
Neko_but before we think, why doesn't it load, I wanted to make sure it wasn't just not there16:04
ograsame thing as with your audio modules i suspect16:04
Neko_well I modularized those only yesterday otherwise they were built-in16:04
ogra        ata)16:04
ogra                copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/ata16:04
ogra        ;;16:04
ograthats from hook-functions16:04
ograone part thats run for MODULES=most16:04
ograit means it recursively copies all .ko files below that dir16:05
Neko_yeah I see it I just don't "believe" it :)16:07
ograwell, it works :)16:07
hrwogra: there were rumours that natty wants to get rid of initrd16:14
ograhrw, huh ?16:14
ograi doubt that16:14
ograsince lucid you *can* boot without initrd16:14
ograbut only if you dont use a certain set of packages16:15
rsalvetihrw: hehe, you were dreaming probably ;-)16:15
suihkulokkii guess they might want to get rid of current initrd generation scripts16:15
rsalvetiI know you don't like it :-)16:15
ograwell, initrd is supposed to be switched to upstart completely16:16
ograso yeah, the scripts will heavily change16:16
hrwI just hope that natty will still allow to boot without initrd16:16
ograbut as long as we offer dm-raid or lvm or encryption for any disk stuff, initrd will not be dropped16:16
hrwsure, but for toys like ac100/efikasb you usually do not do that16:19
ograoh, and mountall16:21
ografsck need mountall from initrd before the rootfs is mounted RW16:21
ograthat would have to be changed16:21
GrueMasterogra: wrt the qa testing of the daily images, I hadn't tested them because I didn't see them.  They are being posted at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/daily-preinstalled/current instead of http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/daily-preinstalled/current/ (i,e. not in /ports).  My mirror scripts didn't see the change, nor did my browser.16:47
GrueMasterI do check daily.16:47
hrwhave a nice weekend16:48
ograGrueMaster, hmm, that might be due to persia's quest of letting ports die16:48
=== hrw is now known as hrw|gone
ograhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/daily-preinstalled/current/ has the right images though16:48
GrueMasterAh.  Well, if this is permanent, I'll need to update my mirror scripts.16:49
ograno idea if thats permanent or even how they got there16:49
GrueMasterNice for people to tell me.16:49
GrueMasterhrmm.16:49
ograbut i'd suspect its due to some cdimage reorganization16:49
ograthere was a BOF for it at UDS16:49
GrueMasterAlso, only omap4 images.16:49
GrueMasterYea, I kind of missed UDS.16:49
ograyes16:49
ograthe schedule was online :P16:50
ograwe dont have omap3 kernels yet16:50
ograso no omap3 images either16:50
GrueMasterok16:50
ograand i dont expect them before A216:50
persiaYeah, but I failed to publish the announcement about the change.  I'll get that done in the next 48 hours (have to fix a couple scripts along the way)16:50
GrueMasterWhat's the hold up?  Ubuntu vs Linaro kernel?16:50
ograGrueMaster, right, see the ML discussion16:51
ograwaiting for a statement from kernel and security teams16:51
ograif it is clear we dont get any support we will build omap3 but only as unofficial images16:51
GrueMasterThat shouldn't stop us from building dailies for testing.  They're unsupported anyways.16:52
GrueMasterThe rest is paperwork.16:53
ograwe dont have a kernel16:53
ograi cant build images without one :P16:53
GrueMasterCan't use the existing maverick kernel?16:53
ograits gone16:54
persiaThe documentation for adding kernels is supposed to be published before Alpha-1, but there may not be time to actually use that documentation before then to make a kernel.16:54
GrueMasterHuh?  How so?  It is a release package in main.  It shouldn't be gone.16:54
persiaGrueMaster, The "linux" source package no longer provides that binary package.  It's not uncommon for the set of binary packages to change between releases.  Oh, and "main" doesn't mean anything :)16:55
ograit is built from linux16:55
ogralinux doesnt build that flavour in natty16:55
ograwe need to move the linaro kernel to main16:56
ograwhich i wont do until the discussion has settled16:56
GrueMasterOk, I (kind of) get it.16:56
ograbuilding with universe kernel will put a lot of extra work on us which i'd like to justify first16:57
ograi.e. by security and kernel team refusing to take the support16:57
persiaWhy?  It's a two-line change, and if care is taken with the seeds, doesn't otherwise affect the image.16:57
persiaShould be independent of who offers to maintain the kernel.16:58
persia(or the timing of that offer)16:58
ograheh16:59
ogratwo line change ?16:59
ograwe need a universe mirror on antimony for that16:59
ograand way more than two lines16:59
persiaIsn't that already present for building Xubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Studio, and Mythbuntu?17:00
ogranot that i know of17:00
persiaHow do those get built then?  I thought it was the same infrastructure.17:00
ograin any case i wont bother for omap3 until thats sorted17:00
GrueMasterWe don't currently build those for arm.  They may exist for other arch's.17:00
GrueMasterBut I do agree that we shouldn't hold up test image builds for paperwork that can get sorted over time.17:01
persiaWhich one is antimony again?  I thought that was separate from the livefs builders.17:02
