[01:36] rsalveti: Update on the omap4 audio. I fixed the paths in the udev rule before first boot. Everything looks good now after running oem-config. [01:36] GrueMaster: yeah, without any state file it should work fine [01:36] cool [01:37] For SRU, we can fix the udev and run alsaucm in a postinst.

[08:02] What image are you using? [08:03] ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img [08:03] Beta 2? [08:04] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ [08:04] Texas instruments omap3 preinstalled images [08:04] excuse me, preinstalled netbook image [08:05] Hmmm. Try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/daily-preinstalled/current/ . It will be the 11.04 release in a few days. [08:05] interesting.. [08:05] What rev beagle do you have? [08:06] firmware.. hardware? [08:06] Hardware. [08:06] Shouldn't have any firmware. [08:06] It says rev B on the box [08:06] I belive that is the hard ware version [08:07] . [08:07] Beagle XM? [08:07] yep [08:07] Ah. Yes, try the newer image. There was an issue with Maverick (10.10) on the released beagleXM (A3 and later). [08:07] I checked /proc/ but it was empty. [08:08] Are you using a keyboard, mouse, and monitor? [08:08] Indeed I am.. [08:08] Then you should be fine with the 11.04 image. [08:08] I can see the language selection screen come up, but I can't select anything. [08:09] I have it running here on my rev B board. [08:09] Try plugging the keyboard & mouse directly into the board. [08:09] How are you getting power? [08:09] K,, I will try the 11.04 image... already tried directly. I am using wall 5v power adapter. [08:10] Ok. Wanted to make sure. You can power the system through the mini-USB port as well, but you loose USB and a lot of other devices. [08:11] And I read somewhere that they changed the design of the board, flipflopping something in USB EHDI. [08:11] Changed some gpio or something like that. [08:11] Should be fine with 11.04 though. [08:12] do I need to add any files to the image, or just do a ddd [08:12] *dd [08:13] ? [08:13] Just dd. [08:13] Wouldn't suggest ddd (that is a gui debugger). [08:13] :P [08:13] At any rate, the image shouldn't require any tweaking. [08:13] GUI!?? What's wrong with GDB!? [08:14] Meh. There is a gui for anything these days. [08:14] I actually think that's a good thing. [08:15] At any rate, it is past midnight here. I'm out for the next 7+ hours. [08:15] got it.. It's 1:15 am here. [08:15] ogra_ should be online soon, if you have any questions. [09:16] morning [09:24] Natty didn't work either.. switching to a different board, same firmware version, fixes the problem... Still no mouse and keyboard on my board though... Another note, the led's on the ethernet port are not flashing. So, I guess the usb hub just didn't turn on. but why, is this a faulty board. [09:24] *? [09:37] I think that my board is bad [09:38] my friends board work's just fine. === 17SAAF003 is now known as ian_brasil [13:59] It seems that unity in natty, as opposed to netbook-launcher-efl in the maverick release rootfs, doesn't perform too well. I'm looking to a) improve unity ( I have no hardware acceleration available ) or b) replace unity with the old nbl based desktop. Since I'm not sure if a) will work and how to possibly make b) happen I'm looking for any suggestions. Thanks! [13:59] Sorry- forgot to add '...doesn't perform too well on my device' .. which is not an officially supported one! [14:00] * ogra_ thinks unity-2d performs actually lots better than the efl launcher [14:00] i'm using it here on my tegra as my main work env [14:01] you should also note that the efl launcher is completely unmaintained atm [14:01] i dont think anyone has even tried to run it in natty yet [14:01] at beagle it also works better than nl-efl [14:02] Thanks for the rapid reply guys. I have tried the omap4 rootfs as base. Does it have non-2d configured as default ?

[14:25] the bug above seems to be a different flickering problem [14:25] it might be related to poor fb driver [14:25] all I know is nbl efl works well with it [14:49] lilstevie: how do you circumvent lack of osk in maverick then ? [14:50] lilstevie: the maverick rootfs I use also have oem-config === arun__ is now known as arun [14:50] dcordes: I made my rootfs with rootstock [14:50] ah I see. I never succeeded to complete a full ubuntu-netbook maverick rootfs with rootstock [14:51] did you apply any workarounds ? [14:51] I didn't build a full image [14:51] I built a minimal system [14:51] ok that works for me as well [14:51] netbook with rootstock should work in natty though [14:51] used an init.d script to bring the wifi online [14:51] then built the rest of the image on the deviec [14:51] device [14:52] ogra_: aha that's interesting. would it give me netbook-launcher-efl ? [14:52] we changed to a different qemu [14:52] no [14:52] ubuntu-netbook is what we use for our images, it has unity-2d [14:52] natty introduces unity-2d for arm [14:52] right [14:53] lilstevie: check above. I have problem with unity-2d graphical glitching on my device [14:54] ogra_: despite from netbook-launcher-efl being unmaintained it would be a good solution to install it in natty instead of using maverick [14:54] ? [14:55] ogra_: earlier you mentioned nbl-efl is unmaintained [14:55] yes, to what would installing the unmaintained (and totally untesteda) efl launcher be a solution ? [14:55] to the unusable unity-2d [14:56] how about finding out why it is unusable on your HW and fix that instead ? [14:56] that would be nicer [14:57] what kind of graphics driver do you use there ? [14:57] msm_fb [14:57] it is definitely happy on all my arm devices with framebuffer [14:57] xf86-video-fbdev [14:57] mhm I listened up when you said you are using it on the tegra [14:58] and its a lot snappier than efl ever was [14:58] it would be interesting to see if it works for lilstevie's glaxy tab [14:58] yup, i currently type on my ac100 [14:58] I believe so.. [14:59] I don't see why it would be glitching on mine [15:00] lilstevie: did you check the option to run 'DISPLAY=:0 onboard' from some script around the oem-config start process ? [15:00] maybe timed [15:00] not yet [15:00] it brings me perfectly well through the oem-config process on my device (starting that remotely, not via script) [15:01] ogra_: I have seen fb problems here and now in maverick too [15:02] ogra_: ignorable, much smaller glitches [15:02] ogra_: is unity-2d also based on the enlightenment libraries ? === robbiew1 is now known as robbiew [15:31] any openocd guru around?

[15:41] beagle xm [15:41] apw: the fix will make xM run at 800mhz instead of 600mhz, and it's already upstream [15:41] revision B [15:41] i thought they did 1G ? [15:41] apw: I'm just rebooting the machine to test, and will put the pull request at the bug [15:41] rweber: How did the 11.04 install go? [15:41] ok [15:42] apw: they do, but we can't safely enable it now, as it needs smart reflex class 1.5 and ABB [15:42] and both are not yet implemented upstream [15:42] they were only at ti's 2.6.32 kernel [15:42] just as badly... however swtiching the board to a different one fixed the problem... the issue now is that I will have to say goodbye to this board as it does not belong to me. [15:43] May have been a board issue then. [15:43] most likely. [15:45] I think that I will test it with my angstrom distribution, and if that works. Send it into beagle board for evaluation. [15:46] rweber: yeah, would say the same [15:59] is there something like packages.ubuntu.com for arm ?

Would it be best to create a config debian package that provides these files, or should they simply be edited outside debs? What is "best" in lieu with debian/ubuntu policy? [16:47] rsalveti: Do you have an N900? Have you tried the natty image on it? [16:48] GrueMaster: not yet [16:50] Wow, these things are expensive. $350-$400 on ebay. [17:54] just as a side note.. Natty seems to be running really slow.. [17:57] rweber, on what ? [17:57] and which parts of the system :) [17:58] beagle board xm. everything. [17:59] 10 + just to boot up. [17:59] minutes that is. [17:59] There are two underlying factors to this: SD card speed and mpurate. [17:59] ah, you might be bitten by bug 771537 [17:59] Launchpad bug 771537 in linux "mpurate=1000 fails on beagleXM" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/771537 [18:00] The mpurate can be worked around. Edit /boot/boot.script and change mpurate to 900, then rerun flash-kernel. [18:00] try setting mpurate to 900 in /boot/boot.script [18:00] and run sudo flash-kernel afterwards [18:00] on next boot it should run at 900MHz instead of 600 [18:00] For the SD card issue, I have found that the larger the card, the slower it works. [18:01] well, the 4k alignment will help in oneiric ... janimo will save us :) [18:02] err 4M :P [18:03] Actually, I think you were right the first time. [18:04] heh, yeah [18:06] ogra, I just wsh I had gotten that 4M fix right first time I tried it, and we'd have it for natty too [18:06] great, so I have 1 beagle board that is operating at half cpu speed and another with no USB support. [18:06] janimo, yeah, i even had a request from ndec for that [18:06] (which i havent answered yet because its a shame that we didnt get to it) [18:07] rweber, well, the cpu speed thing is a matter of one reboot [18:09] rweber: and there is a kernel fix being tested now. Should be in updates shortly after release. [18:10] that will even allow a full GHz [18:17] k I edited the boot/boot.script to be 900 instead of 1000 [18:18] how do I make sure that the card is 4M aligned? [18:19] you cant [18:19] well, you can but you need to repartition and reformat [18:20] if it's actually a block alignment problem. I think that hitachi came out with some tools to fix that. [18:20] I will look into that. [18:21] nm... the tool only works on windows.

[19:07] hello [19:07] GrueMaster: FYI, I tested mpurate=900 [19:08] GrueMaster: it works (no problem so far) [19:08] Cool [19:08] GrueMaster: in fact, I prefered change for Ubuntu classic, and thingds are faster [19:08] maybe the new UI is not optimized, or something like that [19:09] GrueMaster: the sound does not work [19:09] GrueMaster: at least what I tested (alsamixer didn't help) [19:10] nor esd nor sox work. I can read .ogg files, but can't hear anything [19:12] ericb2: in alsamixer, you need to unmute the HeadsetL mixer AudioL2 and HeadsetR mixer AudioR2, then set Headset volume to +50 (mine is at 63). [19:13] Audio should sound fine then. I have played several cd's worth of ogg files in banshee without issue after setting those controls. [19:14] I hope to get a UCM configuration for the beagle/beaglexm systems soon as an SRU update post-release.

[19:19] GrueMaster: entering S, I have the choice between : - (defaut) or 0 omap3beagle or "enter the device name.. " [19:20] Use right and left arrows to select the channel you wish to modify, M to mute/unmute, and up/down to change volume. [19:20] GrueMaster: that's what I did. Looks like the device is not correct [19:21] You are on a beaglexm, right? [19:22] GrueMaster: I am.

[22:20] comradekingu: hi :) [22:21] comradekingu: yes I setup the bootfs & rootfs. Seems to boot just fine, and hangs after the kernel is loaded or almost at the end of the kernel load. [22:21] ..then it stops booting [22:21] danger89: I forgot to ask, do you have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached or are you running console via serial port? [22:22] GrueMaster: Currectly I do not have a keyboard, or mouse. Then I have a monitor attachted check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4W4g8qNhqI [22:23] GrueMaster: badly is I can't get serial output currently. I yea know it sucks. I got all the right settings for the serial debug but I guess the laptop com-port is broken [22:24] May need a serial null-modem cable for that. [22:24] Not sure. [22:24] GrueMaster: no the cable just works. On another PC, which is currenctly not avaible right now.. i'm really sorry [22:25] however I guess the syslog is almost the same as the debug on serial: [22:25] which will look like this: http://pastebin.com/Wr5g4Nj3 [22:26] No, the reason I asked is that I often see users trying to run our earlier images with only serial console and no monitor. [22:26] Until now, our releases were standalone. We now have a headless image that you configure through the serial port. [22:29] danger89: ureadahead reads from disk into memory. Google seems to think placing /var on a separate partition may cause it [22:30] GrueMaster: I got dvi (hdmi) output signal [22:30] Or otherwise something wrong in /etc/fstab in relation to uids or paths [22:30] comradekingu: /var is on the same rootfs [22:31] comradekingu: /etc/fstab is only default value (like red hat) [22:32] let me pastbin the fstab ok? [22:32] might be broken memory, seems like the mount went ok [22:34] comradekingu: you mean the igepv2 memory ór... the sd-card? [22:34] comradekingu: fstab: http://pastebin.com/NUhY1jp4 [22:35] comradekingu: can you be more clairy about which memory could be broken you think? Or beter how to solve it [22:36] well the system memory, im guessing [22:36] Could be the card too [22:37] comradekingu: same card did work using debian for arm [22:39] comradekingu: http://free-electrons.com/pub/ubuntu/armel-rootfs-201006102239.tgz http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/ [22:40] comradekingu: I used that tgz for my rootfs [22:40] Im using debian for arm, works [22:41] yea hre too kind of, however I got problems with Quanta Touch driver that is why I want to try Ubuntu [22:41] using the latest git kernel [22:41] of igep [22:42] comradekingu: should I check somehow for broken parts on my SD card :S? [22:43] danger89: No, if debian works thats not it [22:43] sudo ureadahead --force-trace --debug [22:43] try that [22:44] i can't get into the terminal? [22:44] Isnt that what it drops you at [22:44] or when should I type that line? [22:44] no that is the whole problem [22:44] I only see a blinking white line [22:45] if I got into a terminal I would be very happy [22:45] Is it a armv5 board? [22:46] you say? http://www.igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=55 [22:47] comradekingu: i can search up the exactly arm [22:47] type.. [22:49] nvm, that wasnt it [22:49] ok [22:50] it's atleast a OMAP3 [22:51] I just followed the guide on free-electrons: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/ [22:52] only I use the latest git checkout (linux kernel) [22:52] get the right .config [22:52] making the uImage when just OK [22:52] modules & firmware also [22:53] Once you have built the rootfs or downloaded the armel-rootfs.tgz file you will need to disable the ureadahead daemon or your igep will just stall half way through the boot process. This is ok because ureadahead is actually for booting from a spinning hard disk not an SSD To disable it you can go into /etc/init on your rootfs and rename the ureadahead.conf to ureadahead.disabled Also when you are copying the file /etc/init/tty [22:53] how you see that? on the comment: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/ (below) [22:54] so damn the solution was all the time on that same page I guess :| [22:54] let me try it... [22:59] comradekingu: it seems to solve that issue, but still ends with a blinking white line :( I will upload the sys again [23:01] danger89: We're booting from uSD card on omap3. You say it's better for performace to stop the ureadahead service? [23:02] no I do not say it's better for performance, I will quote this line from ryan "Once you have built the rootfs or downloaded the armel-rootfs.tgz file you will need to disable the ureadahead daemon or your igep will just stall half way through the boot process. This is ok because ureadahead is actually for booting from a spinning hard disk not an SSD" [23:02] sveinse: which you can read on this page: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/ [23:03] ah, it was a quote [23:04] sveinse: comradekingu http://pastebin.com/f5BpSDub current syslog [23:04] ow I see also the message below that: ....so your new ttyS2 file should look like exec /sbin/getty -8 115200 ttyS2... [23:05] I will try that now too [23:05] comradekingu: hopefully I can have serial debug output again [23:06] is it ttyS2 on this kernel? Because at some point, they swictced to ttyO2. newer than 2.6.36? [23:07] seems so from the logs [23:08] Well... Quoting "The amazing graphical capabilities of the OMAP chip" [23:08] Hmm. Not to sure about that. We're using 3530, and we're working hard to get _sufficient_ performace out of Qt on QWS [23:10] It's amazing if everyting renders in OpenGL, but I haven't seen any (2D) widget graphics system what uses it fully. And X11 is not full accelerated either, iirc [23:11] sveinse: The latest kernel from the igepv2 git is: v2.6.35.11 [23:12] that is also the version I use currently [23:13] well... its off to bed [23:13] night [23:13] night [23:14] and oh, the logs you pasted are using ttyS2...
