straszheimhave a docs bug04:44
straszheimthis page -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall04:45
straszheimOn Beagleboard xM rev A3 and B, the wgets are to the wrong directories04:45
straszheimthey're right, but reversed04:45
persiastraszheim, Would you mind correcting that?05:09
straszheimnp05:13
persiaThanks!05:16
straszheimafter a solid week of trying to get things built for a gumstix I have to say that install was pretty awesome.05:27
persiaI heard of someone running on a gumstix before.  Did you have to do anything special to the image, or did it mostly just work?05:29
straszheimah, no, i mean the omap3/maverick install was awesome because it worked and took a few hours.  gumstix is unplugged, major fail05:30
persiaWhich gumstix do you have?05:31
straszheimverdex pro05:31
straszheimarmv5te iirrc05:31
persiaIndeed.  Debian ought be not too hard to get running on that.05:32
persiaI think the omap3 images work on the Overos, but I haven't seen enough confirmation to be sure: none of the regulars on this channel seems to use one with Ubuntu.05:33
straszheimis there a recommended way to strip the gui stuff out of this install?  This thing is intended to run headless.  I'm considering just removing x11-common.05:37
straszheimthat'll take a ton of stuff with it05:37
jhobbscheck out tasksel05:40
straszheimah nice05:40
straszheimthx05:40
persiaI'd recommend making sure ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal are installed, and then removing ubuntu-netbook and all it's dependencies (avoiding removing -standard and -minimal)05:41
persiaFrom there you can build up again.05:41
straszheimsounds good05:42

ograwaiting for the panda version :)14:57
janimorsalveti,  wrt https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-arm-n-handle-core-boot-files-update15:11
janimois that tool suipposed to do what flash-kernel currently does but for uboot binaries ?15:11
rsalvetijanimo: moving it for you15:11
rsalvetikind of15:11
rsalvetibecause u-boot and x-loader is not updated15:12
rsalvetijust the kernel15:12
* janimo wonders if code can be reused from flash-kernel at all15:12
rsalvetijanimo: yup, that's why you need to talk with NCommander later, to check the flash kernel and the sub arch detect code15:13
rsalvetito see what can be shared15:13
janimook15:14
ograrsalveti, we should just seed them and make sure they are on the image worst case ... then people can at least manually update15:19
rsalvetiogra: but the idea is to have a tool to manually update the core boot files15:20
rsalvetishouldn't be that hard15:20
ograindeed15:20
ograbut if we dont manage, seeding should at least get us a step forward15:20
rsalvetiyup, true15:20
janimoogra, seeding all? For instance for omap3 image seed all the omap3 based xloader/uboot binaries?15:54
ograjanimo, well, we cant be that distinctive in the seeds (seeds dont support subarches)15:55
ograso we would need to seed all15:55
janimook15:56
ograthe point is that apt-get update will get you the latest binaries on disk15:56
ograso even without the desired script we would have them available for manual tinkering15:56
janimoI am thinking having them on the disk and then adding a post install hook like flash-kernel would solve this15:56
ograright15:56
ograthat was the initial plan15:57
ograbut if we dont have time for the flash-kernel bit, at least seeding should be done15:57
rsalvetijanimo: we don't want a post install hook15:57
rsalvetiwe want the user to manually update the files15:58
rsalvetiavoid problems15:58
ograright15:58
rsalvetiand a lot easier to implement15:58
ograjust a script15:58
janimorsalveti, so not the same ease and transparency s grub is installed with?16:02
janimook16:02
rsalvetiyeah, we want a script that the user can trigger by hand16:03
janimoor rather ease, but not automatic16:03
rsalvetiand we also want to notify the user about such update16:03
janimoack16:03
ograwe dont update grub stage 116:03
ograthere is no such ease ;)16:03
loolrsalveti: Hey, would you know whether USB storage is fully stable on xm now?16:23
ogralool, given that the buildds use it ...16:23
loolWe use xms as buildds now?16:23
ograyou should know it :)16:23
ograthey come from linaro afaik16:23
ograsee https://launchpad.net/builders16:24
loologra: how do I know they are xms?16:24
ogralamont16:24
loolOk, so https://launchpad.net/builders doesn't help much I guess16:24
ograthe arm team helped him to bring them up16:25
ograwell, it shows that there are 15 instead of 8 now16:25
ograindeed it doesnt show the arch16:25
GrueMasterThe *ceae systems are the new ones.16:26
ograright16:26
ograi was just looking for the naming convention16:26
ograhad noted it somewhere16:26
ndecogra: lool: I didn't know the builders moved to XM!16:27
ograndec, on *the builders*16:27
ogras/on/not16:28
loolWell /builders is confusing16:28
ograndec, linaro added 6 XM builders to the queue so their rebuilds dont impact the distro16:28
loologra: they are shared though, right?16:28
ograndec, we are still waiting for the panda cluster16:28
ogralool, yep16:28
ndeclool: i was about that too.16:28
loolndec: we have two types of buildds16:28
ogralool, but can be used dedicated as i understood16:29
loolndec: some for packages and some for images16:29
loolwe can actually share them, but we usually don't16:29
looland offspring/linaro don't use these for image builds, but another separate pool -- let's call them offspring builders16:29
ogralool, so during archive rebuild tests they wont be shared16:29
ndeclool: ok, and the one for the packages are split between archive and PPA?16:29
loolndec: Yes16:29
loolndec: That's only on ARM because these are non-virtual16:29
loolon other arches, they are actually separate16:30
ograndec, though your PPA builders are the two at the very bottom of the /builders page16:30
ograthey are not in the normal builder pool16:30
GrueMasterActually, there are two dedicated ppa buildds, according to the link above.16:30
ndecogra: did they moved to XM too?16:30
ograndec, nope16:30
GrueMasterwait, nevermind.16:31
GrueMastereyes are blurry.  need more coffee.16:31
ograGrueMaster, the two are for private PPAs16:32
GrueMasterAh, there they are, at the bottom.  I had sorted by arch and thought I saw two, but then they disappeared.  Thought my eyes were bugging out.16:33
ograheh16:34
ograndec, they will likely move to pandas once we have them16:37
loolndec: Sorry, I was confused, we're using separate PPA builders nowadays it seems17:01
ogralool, depends on the PPA17:03
loologra: How so?17:04
ograsee PM17:05
rsalvetilool: it should be, the only issue atm is that the driver is allocating a lot of memory when you stress the ethernet or usb17:27
rsalvetiand some times you can see the traces, but not something that breaks17:27
rsalvetisame problem we have with panda, as it's the same driver17:28
loolOk thanks17:28
rsalvetilool: but I'd say beagle in general is a lot more stable than panda17:29
rsalvetiand I think we didn't face any major issues with the builders17:29
rsalvetiI'm impressed by the amount of bug reports for unity-2d since it was released17:33
rsalvetiseems people are really using it17:33
slangasekogra: hey there, another question on historic qemu packaging.  You have another sysctl here for 'vm.vdso_enabled = 0' with the reason "else chroot execution fails" - how did it fail, how can I verify if this is still needed?17:56
ograslangasek, hmm, did i actually add that ?17:56
slangasekogra: in karmic, yes17:57
ograhmm, i think i had that from the maemo ML somewhere17:57
ogralet me dig17:57
slangasekogra: thanks17:58
ograhttp://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo5_alpha_installation/#sboxissue17:59
ograhttp://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347918:00
ubot2bugs.maemo.org bug 3479 in SDK "SDK does not work on Debian lenny system" [Major,Resolved: fixed]18:00
ogramight not be needed anymore18:00
ograsince it refers to intrepid18:01
ograslangasek, ^^^18:04
slangasekogra: so is this specific to scratchbox in some way?18:05
ograi had the same error in rootstock/qemu back then, else i wouldnt have added it18:06
slangasekok18:06
ograi would suggest a test on amd6418:06
ograi'm not sure its still valid18:06
slangasekwell, testing how?18:07
slangasekand on amd64 we don't set this at all, the key doesn't exist in /proc/sys on amd6418:07
ograseems related to the glibc in side the VM18:07
slangasekVM?18:07
slangasekshould be a chroot not a VM, yes?18:07
ograerr, yes, sorry18:07
ograthe bug seems to also rather suggest to set it to 2 instead of 018:09
ogralooking at the last comment18:09
ograi would actually drop it and look out for related bugs18:10
ograits natty after all ;)18:10
