jo-erlendnatty a1 is out. Is there any rebuilt images for arm as well?11:05
ogra_acjo-erlend, see /topic11:06
ogra_aconly omap4 atm though11:06
jo-erlendoh... Sorry :)11:06
jo-erlendoh, ok. When will there be support for omap3?11:06
ogra_acas soon as we have sorted out the kernel situation11:06
ogra_acthe plan is to switch to the linaro kernel for omap311:07
ogra_acbut that needs some commitment from security and kernel teams11:07
ogra_acsince linaro doesnt provide any support after release for their kernel11:07
ogra_ac(no committed support at least)11:08
jo-erlendoh, ok. But it will happen?11:08
ogra_aclool, what were the symlink errors you saw with x-loader ? i remember that getting the patch for the u-boot headers to work was very very tricky11:08
ogra_ac(all headers are linked to out of tree files that only exist in the u-boot tree)11:10
loologra_ac: It is with the u-boot headers patch11:41
loologra_ac: I basically dpkg-source -x + debuild, and that breaks11:41
ogra_acwell if you changed the upstream source it might not properly replace symlinks with files, thats what i meant11:42
ogra_acbut seems you didnt do that11:42
ogra_acthat would be my only explanation11:45
ogra_acwhen i last built it (i'm always using dpkg-buildpackage -b though) it worked fine11:46
ogra_ac(that was when you asked about signGP.c)11:47
loologra_ac: I didn't change it11:59
loologra_ac: Did you try it out?11:59
loologra_ac: Grab x-loader-omap4 and try building it11:59
loolI'm doing apt-get source and debuild -aarmel -us -uc -b on my desktop12:00

ranjithI am not able to boot the ubuntu-netbook pre-installed image on omap4-blaze .. any one have any idea about how to boot it..?12:15
ogra_acranjith, what silicon version is your blaze ?12:15
ogra_acnote that ES1 isnt supported12:16
ranjithogra_ac: hi, how can i know the silicon version ..?12:32
ogra_acranjith, good question, i dont know12:33
ranjithalso, while i pulled the card out and put in back in pc after lefting it on the device for some time, the card is formated again,.. ie it is note having hte partition as i had created..12:33
ranjithsorry for that question, i am new to this board thats why i asked..12:34
ogra_acyou created partitions ?12:34
ogra_acyou shouldnt do that, the image needs to go to the device directly (mmcblk0)12:34
ogra_acit will repartition itself on first boot12:34
ranjithso where should i put the MLO, ubooot and uImage ..?12:35
ogra_acin the first partition after you zcat'ed the image to the device12:35
ranjithok12:35
ogra_acyou need to do the zcat, then remove and re-insert the card12:35
ranjithso first i ahve to keep the card without any partition..12:35
ranjithok12:36
ogra_acafter that you should be able to mount the first partition and replace the bootloader files12:36
ranjithbut i already did the gunzip.. and now the image is in .img format not .img.gz ..12:36
ogra_acthe image is partitioned, so its essential that you write ti to the device, not to a partition12:36
ogra_acwell, if you prefer the complex way, and gunzipped already, use dd instead of zcat12:37
ranjithSo let me try that. as i it is already gunziped i think there wont be any difference in doing dd other than zcat..12:38
ranjiththanks for the help..12:38
ranjithlet me try this..12:38
ogra_acright, technically there shouldnt be a difference, it just eats your diskspace on the host12:38
ranjithok12:38
ranjithogra_ac: now i have flashed the image to the card .. should i copy the MLO, u-boot, uImage etc now.. or after the first boot only ..?12:51
ogra_acbefore12:51
ranjithok12:51
ogra_acre-plug the card12:51
ogra_acvfat should be mountable then12:52
ogra_acreplace the files and boot the blaze12:52
ranjithok12:52
ranjithboth parttions are mounted..12:52
ranjithand i ahve replaced the respective file sin the first partition..12:53
ogra_ack12:53
dcordestmzt: no space left12:53
dcordestmzt: but it seems I met all other requirements12:53
loologra_ac: I found the issue with x-loader-omap4: it's ecryptfs13:30
loologra_ac: it builds in my /tmp but not in my /home13:31
ranjithogra_ac: it is installed.. and working fine.. thanks for the help. good night..13:40
jo-erlendhow come rmadison doesn't show ARM?13:53
ogra_aclool, wow, thats bad13:58
tmztdcordes: desktop image? no space on the server or the image is too small?17:21
LetoThe2ndwhen following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch, it fails with qemu: fatal: VS[LR]I.64 not implemented19:33
LetoThe2ndis this a known issue? qemu outdated?19:34
=== zz_Crisco is now known as Crisco
dcordestmzt: ah right. I didn't specify the image size... next try19:54
dcordesLetoThe2nd: is that some conflict related to host platform ?19:57
dcordesLetoThe2nd: x86 vs x86_64 ?19:57
LetoThe2nddcordes: don't know - i just tried on x64.19:58

luis_hello everybody, can I install ubuntu on a cheap sylvania  arm netbook20:48
tmztluis_: that requires a lot more information, but if it's the wmxxxx version then probably not, unless you install jaunty20:48
luis_i dont know which version it is, just bought it from cvs. It comes with Windows CE, all i want is to get rid of it and install some version of linux on it20:51
dcordestmzt: connection got cut and can't login again22:02
dcordesa pity people have such short attention span22:03
dcordesit would have been interesting to discuss luis_' wince device in #htc-linux22:03

dcordeshm magic rootstock random freeze22:13
dcordesUnpacking humanity-icon-theme (from .../humanity-icon-theme_0.5.3.2_all.deb) ...22:14
dcordestmzt: it might be better to use your method and start off with the minimal image..22:15
dcordesit's hopeless waste of time to try making a desktop or netbook image with rootstock22:15
dcordesgood night22:15
