guerbyrsalveti, ok second freeze this night. no blinking LED, nothing on the serial console even after reconnecting, I added some info on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/69037008:59
ubot2Launchpad bug 690370 in linux-ti-omap4 (Ubuntu) "Strange out of memory on pandaboard (affects: 1) (heat: 10)" [Undecided,New]08:59
loolrsalveti: Around?09:31
loolmkimage is moving from uboot-mkimage to u-boot; this might impact things like flash-kernel, cdimage and other code09:31
loolThe u-boot import doing this happened on the 7th, but failed to build on most arches (except amd64) due to LDFLAGS breaking the u-boot host build09:32
loolI'm fixing that now, so it will break on all arches09:32
hrwlool: so now each arch will have to install u-boot package just to have uboot-mkimage?09:59
loolhrw: Yes; uboot-mkimage used to be built from an old fork of the u-boot source tree, so it's an improvement, but I would have preferred if we had a separate package instead10:03
loolmy head hurts10:04
hrwlool: add uboot-mkimage binary package to u-boot source package10:04
loolhrw: This would be a delta with Debian10:05
loolhrw: I'm not sure how smooth upgrades will be, but I suspect that we need a dummy transitional package here10:05
loolSo this should probably be raised to Debian10:06
loolalbeit we could add the transitional package on our own10:06
hrwlool: or make it and raise it with patch and transitional package?10:06
loolYup10:06
loolhrw: Would you like to do this?10:06
hrwwould have first to check packages10:08
hrwlool: looks like uboot-mkimage should be transitional indeed11:21
hrwI just built both11:21
loolhrw: you built both?  I don't understand what you built11:24
loolhrw: I filed a bug in Debian to request a transitional package BTW; I'm happy if we add it in Ubuntu first though11:25
hrwu-boot and uboot-mkimage ones for amd6411:27
loolOk; one open question is how to name the package11:29
loolSorry, ignore that11:29
loolI'm confused with another issue11:29
lool(which is that mkimage should be split out of u-boot)11:29
hrwok11:30
rsalvetilool: hi11:49
rsalvetilool: our image is broken for quite a while, since dec 14 because of that11:49
rsalvetithe package was removed from the archive, without fixing the u-boot one first11:50
loolrsalveti: I think I've uploaded almost all fixes except for jasper-initramfs where I've sent a merge request11:50
loolrsalveti: But I can't commit to jasper-initramfs11:50
rsalvetilool: I discussed that at #ubuntu-release yesterday11:50
loolrsalveti: Ok; did the discussion raise any other required changes than the ones I prepared?11:51
rsalvetilool: and then we need to move this u-boot to main11:51
rsalvetias it's on universe currently11:51
rsalvetilool: nops, my only problem was that our image is currently broken because of that11:51
rsalvetimainly because of jasper11:52
loolrsalveti: asac/doko removed me from ~ubuntu-mir for some reason, so I can't approve this, but it would be a trivial MIR to bump u-boot to main11:52
loolrsalveti: I'm happy to upload the jasper-initramfs change if you vouch for it11:52
loolI just can't commit it to Bzr, so would either comment out the Vcs-Bzr or move it to the UDD branch11:52
rsalvetilool: I believe ogra is the only one that can write to the bzr branch11:56
loolrsalveti: Yes; that's why I only sent a merge request11:56
rsalvetiand as we need it to get our image working, I believe it should be ok to just fix the package at ubuntu11:56
loolrsalveti: Ok; will merge then11:56
loolrsalveti: Uploaded, happy to hear how it works in Ubuntu images12:00
rsalvetilool: ok, then we should ask someone to bump it to main12:00
loolrsalveti: Ping archive admins; tell them u-boot-linaro is already in main12:02
loolrsalveti: ah sorry it's not12:02
loolrsalveti: but tell them uboot-mkimage was in main and wa sa fork   ;-)12:02
loolhrw: If you're preparing a transitional package for mkimage, I'd love sponsoring it today while I still remember about this!  :)12:09
hrwlet me first find good example12:10
hrwlool: patch for u-boot acceptable?12:10
loolhrw: Yup12:10
loolhrw: debdiff would be ideal12:10
guerbyrsalveti, I've left my pandaboard in freeze state in case you want me to do something, if not let me know I'll power cycle it12:17
rsalvetiguerby: sure, just checking the bug12:17
rsalvetiguerby: did you get anything at the uart?12:18
rsalvetiguerby: if not, then just reboot it, nothing interesting at the logs :-)12:18
guerbyrsalveti, nothing on serial (just unresponsive login prompt), I killed screen and relaunched, nothing12:18
rsalvetiops :-(12:18
guerbyrsalveti, ok I'm power cycling12:18
rsalvetihm, weird that not even a kernel trace12:19
guerbyrsalveti, may be there are bootargs to tell the kernel to be more verbose?12:20
rsalvetiguerby: what are your current boot args?12:20
rsalvetiit could be that you had 'quiet' on it12:21
guerbyrsalveti, text ro elevator=noop vram=32M mem=768M root=UUID=b5d2dfb1-270c-4966-abe6-dfe7a2a17efd fixrtc smsc95xx.macaddr=32:57:F8:93:E1:CD12:22
guerbyrsalveti, also I noticed the board LEDs were both off after the freeze12:23
rsalvetibut quiet just set the log level to warning, you should have seem at least some error12:23
rsalvetiguerby: yeah, meaning that the board was dead12:23
rsalvetione led is the heartbeat12:23
rsalvetithe other is the mmc activity12:24
guerbyrsalveti, I had top and tail -f /var/log/messages running through ssh, plus screen on the serial and I saw nothing12:24
guerbyrsalveti, ok thx12:24
=== zyga is now known as zyga-coffee
rsalvetinothing is bad :-(12:25
hrwlool: http://pastebin.com/g49n8Jde12:26
guerbyrsalveti, I'm relaunching my bootstrap script12:27
rsalvetiok12:28
guerbyrsalveti, do you think that my sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=2 could have an impact?12:35
guerbyI also have echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space12:36
rsalvetiguerby: but that shouldn't freeze the kernel that way12:37
rsalvetiit's probably another bug12:37

hrwcan someone take a look at bug 688010?14:45

hrwit is armel only and I provided patch which solves problem14:46
hrwhi robclark14:46
robclarkhowdy hrw14:47
hrwrobclark: is there a kernel for panda which finally gives mem=1G stable?14:52
robclarkhrw: unsure..  I know some folks are using L24.11 kernel with 1G (minus the hole left for syslink)..14:53
robclarkbut I don't know if that means it's fixed, or just that they haven't had problems..14:53
demarchihi... is there a libgles2-sgx-omap4-dev package?14:54
robclark(and L24.11 kernel doesn't work with the L24.9 versions of syslink, ducati, etc from 10.10...)14:54
demarchior... where can i get the headers for sgx gles2?14:54
robclarkdemarchi: I'm not a GL expert, but I think the idea is that you should be able to compile things with generic headers from khronos..14:55
robclarkalthough I don't know if those are packaged in any way..14:55
demarchirobclark: you mean... the mesa headers?14:55
robclarkI guess so.. but I've never tried..14:56
demarchithe mesa package that contains the headers conflicts with sgx packages14:56
robclarkassuming mesa headers aren't weird in some way14:56
robclarkdemarchi: http://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/14:57
robclarkyou can download manually the headers..   perhaps there is a better way, with some deb package, but I don't know14:58
robclarkmaybe vstehle or rsalveti or someone like that has some idea14:58
rsalvetirobclark: demarchi: mesa headers should be fine15:06
rsalvetidemarchi: libgles1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev libegl1-mesa-dev15:07
rsalvetiat least for omap 3 packages we don't put the headers by default because of the soname mess around the sgx library15:07
rsalvetias we don't want people complaining that built the package against it but only works when using the sgx libs15:08
loolrsalveti: What happened to u-boot-omap4 in maverick?16:10
loolrsalveti: did it get removed?  did another u-boot source supersede it?  u-boot-linaro maybe?16:11
rsalvetilool: yeah, we're only using the u-boot-linaro16:11
rsalvetilool: can you please file a MIR bug later?16:12
rsalvetiI want to get this issue with u-boot fixed so we can generate arm images again16:12

rOxxhello, i want to install the gcc compiler on my beagleboard running with ubuntu 10.10. but i have problems with the "failure http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/g/gcc-defaults/gcc_4.4.4-lubuntu2_armel.deb 416 Request Range Not Satisfiable" i tried to install the gcc compiler with aptitude, apt-get and synapsys. But everytime i got the same message. anyone can help me?17:59
loolrOxx: Sounds like you have some proxy between you and ports.u.c18:00
rOxxyes i have configured a proxy18:01
GrueMasterrOxx: Can you use wget to download the .deb package?18:02
rOxx@gruemaster yes wget is available18:03
GrueMasterso, "wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/g/gcc-defaults/gcc_4.4.4-lubuntu2_armel.deb" will download the file without error?  Very odd.18:04
rOxx@lool i have configured the proxy in the Preferences -> network proxy > there manuell proxy config -> entered the proxy data and apply system wide. is this correkt ?18:05
rOxx@gruemaster  now i have the file on my beagleboard. i saved the file with the firefox download manager :-)18:07
rOxxis this method ok ?18:08
GrueMasterrOxx: After setting the system wide proxy, did you log out/log in?  That is the only way to ensure the setting gets carried through to all apps that use system environment settings (i.e. bash shells).18:08
loolrOxx: I'm not sure it's enough/correct, nor whether it's because your proxy is being used or is not being used18:10
GrueMasterrOxx: using wget as I indicated is a way of testing the underlying environment that apt-get relies on.  If wget fails, then we can go further.  using firefox, while effective in retrieving the file, doesn't help test apt-get issues (other than basic network connectivity).18:10
loolrOxx: I can just tell you it's related to your proxy  :-)18:10
loolrOxx: apt directly talking to ports.u.c works fine, and there are no mirrors, so it's necessarily either your setup being incomplete, or apt misbehaving with your proxy, or your proxy misbehaving18:10
rOxx@gruemaster i have downloaded the file via wget. it works fine18:18
rOxxafter i changed the proxy settings, i didnt log out, but today i have restarted the system after changing the proxy settings. is this the same ?18:19
GrueMasterrestarting is just as good as logging out/logging in.18:21
GrueMasterI'm running "apt-get install gcc" here on my beagleXM running 10.10, and have not seen a problem (although I do not have a proxy).18:22
rOxxok gruemaster and lool, thanks for your help, i go to my neighbour and test it without a proxy connection18:23
cipheris anyone familiar with whether or not acm-mode defines a specific use of newline characters? I'm playing with an embedded device that is using the g_serial gadget and by default it uses ACM. I'm not famliar enough with ACM to know whether that standard makes mention of newline treatment. I actually don't want any special newline treatment at all.19:09

hrw15:45 < hrw> can someone take a look at bug 688010?21:22

cipherhas anyone tried using usbser.sys and found that it inserts spurious carriage returns (0x0d) when the serial device is actually just sending newline (0x0a) ?21:23
hrw0x0d? not 0x0c?21:24
cipheryes, 0x0d21:42
cipherit seems like when I use my os x machine and configure it to use the gadget serial device as a null modem this problem doesn't exist21:44
NullMoogleCablea wha?21:44
cipherit presents an option as Vendor: null modem on os x system preferences and opens up options for the baud rate which was what gave me a good feeling that it would work fine on osx without a custom driver21:45
cipherso the embedded device is using the gadget framework and is loading the g_serial module (and using acm)21:45
cipherand the windows box to which I'm trying to connected the embedded device using the usb OTG port is configured to use usbser.sys as stated in the linux kernel documentation21:46
cipherto which I'm trying to connect*21:46
cipherso when I go echo -ne "\n" > /dev/ttyGS0 on the arm box and receive on the os x usb host I just get 0x0a whereas on the windows host I get 0x0a 0x0d or maybe it's 0x0d 0x0a... either way it's putting something in there that shouldn't21:49
guerbyrsalveti, hmm freeze again after about 7 hours of compile, no message on serial. Let me know if you think of something useful I could do23:21
