HomefixIim wasting my time setting up ubuntu on my evo and epic phones03:26
HomefixI* have succ setup the premade image and my own image using the edubuntu website,03:27
rcn-eethere's really no ubuntu 'kernel' for that situation, the most you'd get is a ubuntu userspace you could chroot into..03:27
Homefixhold on now i type slow03:27
HomefixI am happy with what i have done with this i am running programs on my phone with maveric lucid and jaunty03:29
Homefixhowever03:29
Homefixmy question is03:29
Homefixwhen i use the premade image everything is a oty03:29
Homefixwhen i chroot with my built image,03:30
Homefixi get hold on i have to cut and paste this03:30
HomefixCan not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)03:31
Homefixand termanil does not work03:31
Homefixon my phone03:31
Homefixnot in qemu03:32
Homefixis that make sense03:32
Homefix?03:32
rcn-eeso... a premade image works.. your built image doesn't work.... question? who made the 'premade' image..03:32
Homefixits the one here.....03:33
Homefixhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch03:33
Homefixthe ubuntu terninal does not have a prompt in ubuntu on my phone03:34
Homefixin the premade one it works03:34
Homefixi have been doing this for days and days03:34
Homefixi wrote this hold on and ill link it03:35
Homefixhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=88140103:35
Homefixi dont under stand the premade was supposivly made using "the steps above"03:37
Homefixin the article that is03:37
rcn-eeah, so it's more then just the premade image..   is this the one that works? http://w3.impa.br/~gabrield/data/ubuntu-arm-development-rootfs.tar.bz203:39
Homefix1 sec03:40
Homefixyes03:41
Homefixthat was not made with the steps above in the article?03:41
rcn-eewell, that's not an ubuntu.com download, more then likely the user who uploaded it did something else special, you should ping him..03:41
Homefixping him?03:42
rcn-eewell, if you work your way down his web link: http://w3.impa.br/~gabrield/ looks like a homepage with contact info..03:43
Homefixthanks03:43
Homefixso for sure you think he modified it some how03:43
rcn-eenope.. i have no idea if he modified anything.. but to ask him how he built it would be the next logical step..03:44
Homefixcool thans for the help (one of the links pointed here)03:45
rcn-eeHomefix, another thing, that premade was karmic, with lucid+ you need CONFIG_DEVTMPFS which maybe causing the /dev/pts issue too..03:54
HomefixI tried every poss conception :(04:01
HomefixI even made jaunty could not get it to chroot04:02
Homefixi wrote to rsalveti maybe ill have luck04:02
HomefixQuery is the way to message someone? im new to irc04:03
Homefixthe premade is great however there is only 2G 3 much better04:04
HomefixOf coarse that was meant as -image 2G not 2g coverage ;)04:06
Homefixrcn-ee: by the way is this, CONFIG_DEVTMPFT somthing i can just throw in there04:09
rcn-eeno it's a userspace/kernel requirement of lucid... so IF you where able to make a working karmic image, but only LUCID/MAVERICK failed, that would be one thing to look into..04:09
Homefixno mav does the same thing04:10
Homefixill just have to hope auther gets back04:11
rcn-eewell he's probally still asleep, about 80-90% of the developers on this list are in europe...04:12
Homefixawww lern smtng new each day04:12
Homefixi new what ping was by the way, i thought irc had some strange contact method or somthing haha04:16
Homefixnow that i think about it i used the prebuilt image and do-release-upgrade to maveric and terminals worked fine just need bigger image 3G04:22

Homefix1Hi i was hoping you could help me with this problem:15:53
Homefix1I am using (on a dedicated ubuntu computer with Maverick edition)"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch" example to create a qemu image using "sudo rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --seed nano --notarball --imagesize 3G".15:53
Homefix1I have also used the "sudo project-rootstock/rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --seed nano --notarball --imagesize 3G"15:53
Homefix1and: "sudo ./rootstock --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --seed nano --notarball --imagesize 3G" way.15:53
Homefix1They all work great. I am able to load the image with qemu, got ssh setup and working alls great in life.15:53
Homefix1The problem lies HERE:(.......15:53
Homefix1I am using these images (mostly for fun), to setup ubuntu onto my Evo and Epic smartphones using this method: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881401" to chroot the image.15:53
Homefix1ITS AWSOME IT WORKS AND LOTS OF FUN!15:53
Homefix1well sorry for screaming but it really excites me this open source Ubuntu Stuff. (i am a win user, but I found a new toy)15:53
Homefix1Using the prebuilt image everything works excellent (except for the small image size 2G) that is why i need to use my 3G built image.15:53
Homefix1My problem: My built image works flawlessly as well, with one exception, (that i have noticed) is, inside ubuntu (on my phone chrooted with android) the terminals do not have a prompt# only black, square curser, and will not except input. I have to use the terminal program inside android to apt-get and such.15:53
Homefix1I have noticed with my build images, using apt-get during install, i see "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)"15:53
Homefix1error. My reserch says terminals wont work if system cannot write to /dev/pts.15:53

Homefix1Thanks20:23
ograHomefix1, i have no idea, i guess you would have to ask gabrield (whoever that is)20:32
Homefix1ogra: no no this "http://w3.impa.br/~gabrield/data/ubuntu-arm-development-rootfs.tar.bz2, is the prebuilt image offered here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch you dont know who made it? I only ask because you are the contact under article.20:49
ograi dont know either, its not made by any ubuntu person20:49
ografind out who that gabrield guy is and talk to him20:49
Homefixogra: Im sorry i lost my connection could you repeat your answer if you did?20:54
ograi dont know either what that image is, its not made by any ubuntu person20:54
ografind out who that gabrield guy is and talk to him20:54
Homefixogra: if you dont mind how do you fit in or what do you have do do your role with the article "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch"21:04
ograi wrote rootstock initially and i initially created that wikipage (two years ago)21:04
Homefixi guess what im trying to ask is where did the image come from'21:05
ograi didnt touch either of it since a year, rsalveti maintains the code now21:05
ograbut none of us has anything to do with the changes of the wikipage21:05
ograaccording to the url you pasted above the image came from some brazilian guy named gabrield21:06
ogra(but thats something you can guess yourself by looking at it)21:06
Homefixogra: were you able to read my long question i emailed to you i really would like to fix the "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)" thing it really has nothing to do with gabriel anyway21:09
ograno, thats likely your kernel missing bits21:10
ograeither devtmpfs or udev usually create this device21:10
ograif your kernel lacks devtmpfs udev should care, make sure it is running ...21:11
Homefixkernel in image or in my android device i use the image with21:11
Homefixogra: it doesnt make sense if my device is lacking bits it would not work for either image .Both karmic and if the image was modified in what direction should i look to find how to modify myself21:19
ogracompare /dev21:20
Homefixby the way i ment kernel on development machine not in the image21:21
ograthere surely is no kernel in the image21:21
Homefixcorse not21:21
Homefixogra: forgive me for being a newb can u tell me do you mean to compare /dev folders between images?21:25

ograwell, compare with the image21:31

Homefixroot@localhost:/dev# is it actually21:31
