[00:09] <[yzf600]> I've got a pandaboard that I'm (trying) to run 11.04 on. [00:09] <[yzf600]> I can get it installed and configured, but somewhere after the 2nd or 3rd boot, it quits booting [00:10] <[yzf600]> gets stuck on "fmdrv: Unable to prepare FM CORE" [00:10] <[yzf600]> I always make sure I do a proper shutdown -h to do the reboot. [00:12] <[yzf600]> I also see folks saying installing the / to a usb flash stick will speed up the board. [00:12] <[yzf600]> is that the only way to get faster speed? === Jack87 is now known as Jack87|Away [04:14] Hello, I have written, and booted a ubuntu omap image on my Nook Color... or I assume it has booted as SD card takes priority in boot and the device doesn't boot normally, however Windows detects an unrecognizableusb device... [04:14] What's my next step to doing something with it? [04:23] Is there a way to access it over USB via my linux machine? [04:24] Or should I try to build a version that utilizes the graphics processor in the Nook Color, and its display? [04:27] It's always so... blah in here. [04:31] Xase, I'd try to help you but I have no idea what hardware you're talking about... hopefully that makes things less blah :) [04:31] Yes, would you like some info @ Matt_O ? [04:31] http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook-color-technical/3483-nookcolor-full-specifications.html#post19758 [04:33] And as I said, it boots more or less, obviously however there is no display, though from what I understand, great work has went into this gpu it contains with xorg. [04:41] I'd imagine the sources for the Encore (Nook Color) Kernel would help in making a kernel for it as well? [04:55] And now we've returned to blah. [05:10] BBL [08:19] ogra_: since you subscribed me to ubuntu-armel bugs, may you also tell me howto write a gmail filter to tag them ;) [08:42] lol [08:43] suihkulokki: look for the X-Launchapd-Message-Rationale header and other similar headers [08:45] suihkulokki: and http://blog.launchpad.net/bug-tracking/gmail-filters-for-launchpad-bug-email [08:46] suihkulokki: and finally the best one - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFilter === Jack87|Away is now known as Jack87 [08:48] amitk: ah, the upper one was exactly what I want [08:49] amitk: gmail doesn't allow filtering with headers, but with the words in mail it works around... [08:52] mail filtering is very poor [08:54] ? [08:56] s/mail/gmail [08:58] at least I had such feeling when last time tried it [09:17] suihkulokki, i only follwed a request from your manager :P [09:18] heh [09:21] suihkulokki: rsalveti requested adding whole team to ubuntu-armel [09:22] for me it means more entries in Canonical/LP/bugs folder === Jack87 is now known as Jack87|Away === Jack87|Away is now known as Jack87 === zyga-afk is now known as zyga [12:41] suihkulokki: hrw: with gmail you can only filter with the email content, where it says why you received the email [12:42] and it's basically another way to trace arm bugs [12:42] generally the arm team add the ubuntu armel porters when triaging arm relevant bugs [12:42] well, we have some that are related to our images only [12:42] sure, but that's fine :-) [12:43] ogra_: you can fix all of those ;-) [12:43] which arent actually arch specific [12:43] heh [12:43] i plan to [12:43] but first i will introduce a pile of new bugs ... else its no fun :) [12:43] * ogra_ uploads the ac100 kernel to the PPA [12:57] lol [13:57] janimo: any chance you could look at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/70865132/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-armel.chromium-browser_11.0.696.57~r82915-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz as well if oneiric is going to break in different ways? that's 2 versions old BTW, latest in -proposed [13:58] micahg, will check [13:58] janimo: thans [13:58] *thanks [13:59] micahg, this one looks like a packaging/config issue, as it luckily does not segfault [13:59] and upstream supports ARM well AFAIK [14:00] janimo: so, we're just missing a build-depends? [14:00] micahg, did not look that close - I need to remember how chromium build system works first :) [14:01] but there are simply undefined references to libjpeg-turbo, which is supported on ARM (android at least) [14:01] maybe never tested on regular linux [14:01] micahg, same versions of chromium go to both lucid and oneiric? [14:02] janimo: well, currently oneiric arm is FTBFS at .68, I've been skipped arm uploads for the stable releases since the last round failed [14:03] ok, right the ld segfault. But in principle you keep them up to date for all supported ubuntu releases I guess [14:03] janimo: yes, I only separated the source so we can push non-arm faster [14:04] separated the source? [14:06] janimo: made chromium-browser i386 and amd64 on stable, will upload chromium-browser-arm source for arm as soon as there's a good chance it will build [14:09] hmm, ok [14:10] janimo: unfortunately necessary since we have no lead time on the builds [14:16] I'm soooo lost. [14:20] So, what kind of steps do I need to take while aiming to port ubuntu-arm to my device? [14:21] what kind of device ? [14:21] you usually only need the bootloader and a kernel and know how they boot the device [14:21] Nook Color [14:21] userspace very rarely differs [14:21] Also known as the Encore [14:21] Xase_, wait for GrueMaster to get up, he is working on an image for 11.10 [14:22] Well, when I booted the omap image, it seems to boot, but obviously no display. [14:22] For the Encore? [14:22] ask him, i dont know which model he has [14:22] Windows just let me know there's an unrecognized USB device connected once powered on. [14:23] Alright ogra_, cause I'd love to be learning something useful in my life, and this seems to be the gateway for me. [14:26] If Myriad group ported Dalvik to the N900... this means lots of good things. [14:55] Hi! I think ubuntu-arm images and instructions need more "visibility". I find it difficult to reach https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/* through web searches or the main Ubuntu page. [14:58] ogra_: janimo: ^^ just pinging to make sure the team is aware of this :) [15:01] alf_, thanks, what would you suggest ? [15:01] robclark: sebjan: ndec1: Do you know how I might contact Doug Deao? [15:01] lag, you pung me yesterday ... [15:01] anything important ? [15:01] ogra_: Yes, you use multiple devices don't you? [15:02] ogra_: Do you use a bip server? [15:02] hmm, not sure if I know who that is.. [15:02] robclark: Any way you can find out? [15:02] lag, not to my knowledge [15:02] ogra_: How do you collect backlog? [15:02] ogra_: for one make sure that the arm port is mentioned somewhere in the main ubuntu downloads page (eg in alternative downloads) [15:03] lag, well, i use dircproxy on one machine and a direct connection on the other [15:03] alf_, ah, well we might get an arm landing page at ubuntu.com, i usually find it easiest to just go to cdimage.ubuntu.com and process from there [15:04] ogra_: I'm trying to prevent one device from swallowing all my backlog [15:04] lag, well, dircproxy should do that for you, i have some issues here though (which is why i usually still leave another machine running with direct connection) [15:04] ogra_: For instance, if I log in on my tablet, it swallows all the backlog [15:05] ogra_: Okay, I might just leave it [15:05] ogra_: If I miss a message, I miss a message [15:05] ogra_: sure, but you already know where to look for :) [15:05] ogra_: If it's important, they can email :) [15:05] for me dircproxy replays the backlog on every connect [15:05] only the one since last connect though [15:06] alf_, yeah, i agree we should have better exposure, i'm just not sure how, i guess we need to involve marketing for website stuff [15:10] lag: I have irssi inside of screen/tmux running on one my machines 24/7 [15:11] hrw: I use a bip server [15:12] hrw: I like it, but whichever device logs on first, swallows all the backlog, which is then deleted from the server === prpplague^2 is now known as prpplague [15:54] Can anyone here field questions on arm thumb instruction coding? [15:58] Xase_: Morning. I haven't had a chance to dive into ubuntu on my nook color yet, but it is high on my todo list. === Jack87 is now known as Jack87|Away [16:25] GrueMaster: I'm willing to help, and learn. [16:26] Excellent. I'm a bit busy with high priority work this week, but keep your eyes posted. It may require some tweaking of our standard kernel. [16:26] My first step will be to build the B&N kernel into our image just to see if it works. [16:26] Keep checking back here and at #nookcolor. [16:29] Alright GrueMaster. I had an idea involving using the CyanogenMod Kernel as a test piece. [16:29] Since it enables bluetooth. [16:29] Not sure that it has the graphics support, but worth a shot. [16:31] Well, they have a built kernel working for the Nook Color, but I'm sure you're already aware. [16:31] Maybe you could give me a few good search terms, aimed at changing the kernel in the image, and I'll see what I can find and test on my own, and report to you. [16:32] Do you have a linux system to work with? Preferably Ubuntu? [16:33] Yes [16:33] I have ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop that I have hooked to my TV [16:33] Hopefully if all goes well, I'll have a desktop I can dedicate to it. [16:33] Cool. My starting point was going to be with our netbook image. See link in /topic [16:35] Xase_: porting takes a bit of effort [16:35] Xase_: first step is to get some form of interactivity [16:36] cracking interactivity was the key with the galaxy tab [16:36] lilstevie: The nookcolor can boot from external SD. Hard part is already done. [16:36] GrueMaster: This link http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ ? [16:36] Xase_: Yes. [16:36] kk just checking boss. [16:37] Grab the omap image (not the omap4). [16:37] GrueMaster: that part is easy :p [16:37] heh [16:37] Yeah, the image booted, and made noise in my devicemanager on windows... but obviously failed to register :D [16:37] lilstevie: Not for some systems that don't boot externally. :P [16:37] interactivity was a bitch for the tab [16:37] Well... somewhat booted. [16:37] GrueMaster: the tab doesnt boot externally either [16:37] The galaxy tab has ubuntu? [16:37] Lollol [16:38] Xase_: yes it does, I made sure of that [16:38] I don't like the tab... it feels chunky. [16:38] I love it :) [16:38] I'd rather have it than the Xoom though. [16:38] oh you are talking about the 10.1? [16:38] I am talking about the original 7" device [16:38] Yeah. [16:38] The 7" is nice. [16:39] 10.1 is a different beast [16:39] So how hard is it to replace the kernel do you think? [16:39] do you have fastboot [16:39] Easy enough for me to do, if I'm semi-adept with the terminal? [16:40] I uh... dunno honestly. [16:40] I don't think so... [16:40] I think just CWM [16:40] I don't recall installing it, and I wouldn't imagine it'd be default on the Encore. [16:40] fastboot is bootloader level [16:40] Power and vol down right? [16:41] it is a utility you run [16:41] Yeah, it interfaces with the bootloader. [16:41] Xase_: After pulling down the image, you can decompress it and then mount the boot partition with "mount -o loop,offset=$((512*63))" [16:42] You will need to install uboot-mkimage tomake a uboot kernel. [16:42] Alright. [16:43] So fairly straight forward from there if I find the right links? [16:43] I'd grab the MLO, u-boot, uImage, & uInitrd from the CM image and put them on the ubuntu image. [16:44] But yea, fairly straight forward. [16:44] So, I won't have to make the uboot kernel at first, just after testing CM7 kernel? [16:49] Right. Sorry, still working on my first coffee of the morning. [16:49] Same. [16:49] If that works, then I guess we may not need the B&N kernel. [16:52] I'd personally pull for either or... I really am a fan of the wifi powering down during sleep... though some people call it a bug, however some people really like bluetooth, and cyanogenmod is probably more optimized for other things. [16:52] I don't think stock bn has ext4 support =/ [16:52] for example. [16:54] Neither does our image currently. [16:54] The kernel has it, but the image is ext3. [16:55] Mainly because the ext4 support was unstable in the kernel we used for omap4 until around Beta 1. Never got around to switching it. [17:05] Lol [17:05] Well I'll just use the BN kernel then at that case [17:06] If I want to download something I'll just have to keep awake [17:08] If this works, you still won't be able to do much. It will boot, but it will go into oem config, which requires a keyboard. Hopefully we can get on-screen keyboard support in Oneiric. [17:10] Why can't it be done now? I'm not making a complanitory statement, just curious as to why @ GrueMaster [17:11] Is there a way to trigger bluetooth support at start? Because I have a bluetooth keyboard... [17:11] Well, I guess not, because I'd need to be able to config the bluetooth pairing. [17:11] GrueMaster, just chrooting into the image and installing florence should be possible [17:12] ogra_: Can that be done from an x86 host? I have a beagleXM I can use to manipulate the image with, but others may not. [17:13] yes, using qemu-kvm-extras-static and copying qemu-arm-static inot the image to /usr/bin [17:13] then you can just chroot [17:14] Ah. [17:14] We should add that to the wiki. [17:14] i think it is *somewhere* on the wiki :) [17:14] i once asked dyfet to write it up [17:14] hmm ... so it miught probably not be ... [17:15] Yea, that probably happened. [17:15] :P [17:16] 0 [17:16] Sorry. my daughter is eating lunch in my lap [17:17] as long as you dont spill it into the channel on our laps thats fine ... [17:17] Heh. [17:18] Well she likes the keys, so the most you might get is some chicken finger grease in your circuits. [17:18] ah, thats fine ... fat makes the electrons flow faster [17:18] Good news, just got a monitor, and now can fix this desktop. [17:19] Gotta wait till she naps to rig it. [17:45] Blah [18:27] hi.. I am trying to compile Ubuntu Natty Kernel for Beagle Board (OMAP3).. which kernel source should I take? === nielsslot_ is now known as nielsslot [19:59] Woo. [19:59] Internet went down. [21:15] nooo, the whole internet went down? [21:42] No. [21:42] Mine [21:42] Trying to nmake a ubuntu disc [21:44] GrueMaster: what was that line for mountlooping the image. [21:52] GAH. [21:53] Now my work has been halted by a lack of information. [22:03] * Xase whittles a sharp pointy stick, because that's all whittling is good for. [22:11] ... [22:37] ScottK: ar eyou going to be the product manager for the armel+mx51 ? === Matt_O1 is now known as Matt_O [23:07] Xase: Sorry, had to run some errands. To loopmount the image, first type "file " to figure out the start sector of the partition you want. [23:09] Then type "sudo mount -o loop,offset=$((512*))" Where =( [23:14] It's okay :D [23:16] GrueMaster: which sector has the kernel? [23:17] Or which sector should I mount? [23:18] For boot, the first partition. The second partition has the rootfs. [23:19] And boot contains kernel correct? [23:19] Boot has the xloader (MLO), uboot, and uboot modified kernel & initrd. [23:20] The rootfs has /boot with vmlinuz, initrd.img, and all the modules. [23:21] Same as your desktop. [23:21] Hmm [23:21] =/ [23:22] Slight problem, I just get the help for mount while running that command. [23:22] Make sure to replace all of the <> sections I told you. [23:23] and no quotes. [23:23] I did... should I maintain the <> ? [23:23] no [23:23] That's what I thought. [23:23] oh... [23:23] lollollol [23:23] forgot -o [23:23] heh. -oops [23:24] Ok I see those files... [23:25] Now should I just decompress CM7's flashable zip, and take the same files from it, and just overwrite or what? [23:25] Yes. [23:25] That is usually the easiest. [23:26] kk I'll report back after I'm done, gotta transfer over the stuff, I haven't networked that desktop yet. [23:26] Have I mentioned I kind of dislike unity. [23:26] Heh [23:26] It actually isn't that bad on a netbook. [23:26] No I like it on netbookms... [23:26] But... it blows on desktop [23:26] Sucks on a 24" 1080p monitor. [23:28] Sucks on a 56" monitor in 720p ;) [23:28] Heh [23:28] The feeling is mutual :D [23:28] Hmm [23:35] GrueMaster: I assume that stuff is in the ramdisk.img contained with in the zip? [23:35] Can I just loop that without an offset? [23:36] Guess not... [23:36] Not sure. What was the link to the CM7 file? Let me pull it and look. [23:36] "Must Specify Filesystem Type" [23:36] http://mirror.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip [23:37] It contains u-boot legacy uImage Image [23:37] and some other stuff [23:37] Maybe it'd just be easier for sanity sake to just build it :D [23:38] Pulling, give me a sec. [23:38] You must have amazing internet... [23:39] I wouldn't worry aboutthe ramdisk.img [23:39] Actually, I'm at my mothers. She only has basic DSL. [23:39] 1.5/768 [23:39] I just moved from having 1.8mb to 175Kb [23:39] ouch [23:39] Yeah. === Lopi is now known as Lopi|dinner [23:40] Getting 512K/s atm. [23:40] I don't see the files elswhere in the file. [23:42] =/ [23:43] Hmm. looking at the zip file now. Interesting. [23:44] file ./ramdisk.img yields: u-boot legacy uImage, Image, Linux/ARM, RAMDisk Image (gzip) [23:45] Yea, that isw the ramdisk image. THis looks like only an update, not an image that you could boot from. [23:45] *isn't [23:45] oh snap [23:45] The kernel may be usefull, but still need MLO and possibly uboot. [23:46] I'll take a look inside the nightly [23:46] The nightly is the full install at least. [23:47] I have the B&N source for their v1.2 release. Iwas going to base off of that.
