nanomadI'm having trouble booting an OMAP4 panda board with 11.0415:13
nanomadcan anyone help me?15:14
rsalvetinanomad: sure, post the question and hopefully someone will be able to answer  it :-)15:15
nanomadwe zcat the headleass image to the sd15:16
nanomadand we get no output from the serial console15:16
nanomadthe validation FS works fine though15:16
hrwnanomad: ubuntu does not use serial console too much15:19
ogra_well, you should see initial bootloader messages15:19
nanomadexactly15:19
nanomadbut we get nothing15:19
ogra_once the kernel is up its all graphical15:19
nanomadand no leds blinking15:20
ogra_sounds like you messed up the SD somehow15:20
nanomadwe attach the serial cable first and then then we give power to the board15:20
nanomadthat's the third time i'm zeroing the SD15:20
nanomadany suggestions?15:20
ogra_how exactly did you write the image to it ? do you still have the cmdline in your history ?15:20
nanomadyes15:20
ogra_can you paste it here15:20
nanomadzcat ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+omap.img.gz > /dev/sdd15:21
ogra_as root i assume15:21
nanomadyes15:21
ogra_and sdd is actually the right device ?15:21
nanomadwe tried also the dd way15:21
nanomadof course, the validation FS from  Texas boots fine15:21
ogra_are you 100% sure sdd is your SD card ?15:22
nanomadyes15:22
amitk(ouch)15:22
ogra_if you re-plug the card after writing the image, does it get automounted ?15:22
nanomadyes15:22
ogra_weird15:23
ogra_that indicates the filesystems are ok15:23
ogra_i wouldnt know why it doesnt find the bootloader15:23
nanomadi'm trying with dd again15:29
GrueMasternanomad: Reading the backscroll, it looks like you are using the omap image on a panda?  You need the omap4 image.15:31
ogra_GrueMaster, cool ! nice catch !15:32
sha__hello15:32
GrueMaster<nanomad> zcat ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+omap.img.gz > /dev/sdd  Should be ubuntu-11.04-preinstalled-headless-armel+omap4.img.gz15:32
ogra_GrueMaster, and that *before* coffee ???!?!??!?!!!15:32
sha__someone could tell me if is possible to install adobeflash on ubuntu arm?15:32
GrueMasterWell, I had my first sip seconds before responding.15:32
ogra_sha__, if you find a binary for your architecture15:33
ogra_usually the flash binaries are highly optimized for the HW15:33
ogra_so an omap flash would have probs to run on tegra for example15:33
sha__toshiba ac100-10d :)15:33
ogra_yeah, indeed, i thought so :)15:33
sha__where i could find that binary?15:34
ogra_i think phh had a solution, someone talked about a libflashplayer.so recently15:34
sha__ogra_: i have the library for 32bit15:35
sha__but i think it doesn work15:35
ogra_for 32bit ?15:37
ogra_what do you mean by that15:39
sha__ogra_: not for ARM but for x86 (downloaded from adobe website)15:43
nanomad:(15:44
ogra_heh15:44
nanomadGrueMaster: thanks, i definitely need more coffee15:44
ogra_what do you plan to do with it on arm15:44
sha__nothing good :) im looking for an arm version of that lib15:44
GrueMastersha__: Let us know when you find one.  :P15:45
gildeansha__: which one?15:45
* nanomad is interested in flash for omap415:45
sha__gildean: libflashplayer.so15:45
gildeanhttp://www.enst.fr/~husson/libflashplayer.so15:45
gildeanthat's the arm version i included in the modified rootfs for the ac10015:46
nanomaddoes it work on our boards?15:47
sha__gildean: but i can't see video right?15:48
sha__where is the right installation path?15:48
nanomadsha__: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins15:49
gildeannanomad: it's originally from the atrix ROM15:53
sha__nanomad: firefox doenst recognize the plugin15:54
gildeanso no idea on which machines it works15:54
gildeansha__: i think the path is /usr/lib/firefox/addons/plugins15:54
gildeanno, it's /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/15:55
ogra_you will likely need the full nvidia xserver and GL setup15:56
gildeanyeah, the overlay is needed15:56
* ogra_ bets it is linked against them)15:56
gildeanit surely is15:56
gildeanso that one only works with the .32 and the l4t overlay15:57
sha__the roght folder is /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/16:03
sha__but it doesn't work for me16:04
sha__it's doesn't recognized16:04
ogra_sha__, do yuo run a .32 kernel and the L4T overlay FS so you have EGL support ?16:06
gildeanwell, afaik atm the only way to have flash at least with the ac100 is to do as i did and have the l4t overlay and all that shit16:06
sha__i run .2916:07
nanomadOk, we booted ubuntu correctly but the installer crashes near the end with DSPC timeout waiting for EVSYNC16:08
GrueMasterIt shouldn't crash.  Try hitting enter.16:09
GrueMasterThat is a console message only.16:09
nanomadyea, we discovered that 3 seconds after i posted16:09
GrueMasterOk.  Happy hacking.  :)16:10
GrueMasterWe should have that error fixed in an upcoming kernel update.16:10
nanomadgood16:10
nanomaddoes the GPU work with 11.04 or we are missing the drivers?16:11
GrueMasterI thought you wanted to run headless?16:11
nanomadyup, while we wait for our brand new hdtv16:11
GrueMasterIf you want the GPU drivers, you should install the netbook image.  It has an icon in unity to install them from ppa.16:12
nanomadthanks16:12

marvin24_DTanyone using "claws mail"?17:54
marvin24_DTit seems to corrupt attachments on save17:54
persiaogra_, It mostly works.  There's still issues with the keymap, some complaints about where I stuck root (not mmkblk0p7), and it crashes at least once in a while.21:23
marvin24_DTcrashes how?21:37
persiamarvin24, There seem to be main classes of kernel panic: when I use the wireless too much (e.g. download 1GB of data as several parallel streams), 2) Something random when I leave it alone too long, and 3) Something involving loss of access to MMC, which seems to happen randomly.21:43
persiaI'll turn these into bugs at some point, but I'm never comfortable reporting bugs on something I can't reproduce, and system setup is a time when I have little patience for reproduction (excepting when I'm trying to sort some specific feature for installers)21:44
persia(note that the above is the result of playing with linux-ac100 on a Dynabook AZ, and does not reflect the results anyone might see in environments where the kernel and installation device are more closely aligned)21:49
marvin24_DTthanks persia21:49
marvin24_DTI cannot say much about 1)21:49
marvin24_DTbut 2 und 3 looks like some random decision of the device to go to sleep21:50
marvin24_DTblack screen, no chance to wake up21:50
marvin24_DTor mmc sleeping, and not recovering21:50
persiaThose aren't my symptoms though: I can always restore the screen by pressing the spacebar: I just am greeted with a kernel panic dump screen.21:50
marvin24_DTurh21:51
marvin24_DTI havn't seen any kernel panic for a long time21:51
marvin24_DTmaybe you can make a photo for me if it's fatal21:51
persiaNow that the system is actually installed, it's been running more smoothly, but I'll admit that after spending time getting it installed, I've not been using it as much (although that's in part because I haven't been doing much computing away from my desk).21:53
persiaBut sure, if I get another one, I'll capture the output before restarting the device.  Is there enough information from the screen dump to understand, or does one also need to know how one got to that state?21:54
marvin24_DTproblem is often that the useful info gets scrolled away21:55
marvin24_DTtoo many tasks21:55
marvin24_DTmaybe you'll find something in the syslog21:55
phh[16:38:18] <ogra_> i think phh had a solution, someone talked about a libflashplayer.so recently <--- motorola atrix22:00
persiaI don't see anything obvious (although wireless is fairly chatty).22:01
persiaphh, Does that contain a redistributable blob, or is it just an example of something that works?22:02
phhpersia: well it's the "full" libflashplayer.so22:02
phhI don't know how much it is linked to nvidia stuff22:02
phhi'd say it should be mostly independant22:02
persiaI was asking more about licensing than compatibility.  I would be surprised to see Adobe prepare device-specific flash solutions.22:03
persiaTo put that another way, if it's licensed for redistribution, I'll toss it in multiverse.  If there is a known reliable download site, it should be easy to extend flashplugin-installer to pull from there.  If it's not-for-distribution, that makes it trickier.22:08
phhah.22:11
phhi'm quite sure i'm not even allowed to use it.22:11
persiaAh.  That was my fear.  Oh well.22:11
marvin24_DTif they would like to distibute it, they would have put it on they main site (beta version)22:11
persiamarvin24, From what I understand, Adobe doesn't especially want to distribute it.  I've seen device vendors stick it behind registration sites before, for download and device recovery.  I keep hoping someone who does that fails to have the registration step.22:13
marvin24_DTI wonder if they ever make an arm plugin free for download22:14
marvin24_DTmaybe platforms are too different (even more than on x86)22:14
persiaThere are a few places that have free arm plugins working for download, and several people have reported that something downloaded for one device works on another (with the same instruction set: e.g. ARMv7a).  The issue is more that the current download locations of which I am aware all require registration, which includes an assertion that one has the device in question, and I'm not going to put anything in flashplugin-installer that encourages22:17
persiausers to lie.22:17
marvin24_DTthat's understandable22:18
marvin24_DTthe whole proprietary stuff is just ... crap22:19
persiaI believe that free software is a better model, but complaining about stuff that doesn't work doesn't help: the better solution is to make something else work better (who uses Adobe's PDF readers for Linux these days?).22:24
marvin24_DTwith a little luck, html5 will eat flash22:27
marvin24_DTI think even Adobe seems to accept that22:28
marvin24_DTthe main problem is not proprietary flash, but proprietary video codecs22:29
NCommandermarvin24_DT: +122:30
NCommanderBTW, is there a good set of instructoins ATM on how to best setup natty on an ac100?22:30
persiaNCommander, I've just completed, and was planning to draft those.22:32
persiaHere's the precis:22:32
gildeanNCommander: you can use my guide and just substitute the files with the .37 ones http://ac100.tunk.org/wiki/phh22:32
NCommandergildean: how well does it work?22:32
gildeanwhat, natty or my guide?22:32
NCommandernatty22:33
persiaUgh.  Now I can't find ogra's prebuilt files :(22:33
gildeani haven't tried the latest .37 or the rootfs with it22:33
NCommanderalso, I don't have Android on my AC100 anymore, so no way to update to 2.222:33
gildeanNCommander: no need, you just need to flash parts 2 and 422:34
persiaYou don't need to run 2.2: I never launched Android on my Dynabook22:34
persiahttps://launchpad.net/~ac100/+archive/ppa is a PPA with kernel/settings/etc.22:34
gildeanand btw. my portal contains links for about everything you need here : http://ac100.tunk.org/22:34
persiahttp://people.canonical.com/~ogra/tegra/2.6.37/ has some binary files.22:34
persiaYou need to get the nvflash utility from somewhere22:34
NCommanderI take it works reasonable well?22:34
persia(nVidia isn't distributing it anymore).22:35
gildeanth .37 prebuilt is here : http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/tegra/2.6.37/22:35
gildeanpersia: that is also on my portal22:35
persiagildean, Cool!22:35
persiaSo what I did was 1) get the rootfs (non-SD), untar that to a freshly-formatted SD, 2) get the boot*SD.img, and nvflash it to partition 6, 3) insert the SD and boot, 4) use that target environment to hack around and build a system based on natty and the PPA.22:37
NCommanderpersia: how well does it work? My ac100 has performacne issues ...22:37
persiaFor the lazy, just untarring ubuntu-natty-netbook-2.6.37-1-ac100-rootfs.tgz onto a formatted partition on the MMC, adjusting /boot/bootimg.cfg, and running flash-kernel ought be the totality of the required hacking around.22:38
persiaNCommander, it works.  Attempting to type '|' results in '9', and one of my '\' keys doesn't work, but that won't affect you (you are unlikely to have as many keys on your keyboard).22:39
jhobbsjpkeybd22:40
jhobbsftw22:40
persiajhobbs, This is a software package that intends to work around the kernel bug, or just agreement that more buttons makes a better keyboard?22:40
jhobbsagreement =)22:41
persiagildean, Looking at http://salaliitto.com/~gildean/ac100/wiki/phh/ , I can't find a download link for nvflash.  Am I blind, or is there another page I need?22:54
gildeanpersia: check the front page of http://ac100.tunk.org it's under downloads22:55
persiafrom scoopr.fi?  Excellent.  Thanks!22:56
gildeanbut the link is also on the guide22:56
gildeanso yeah, you were a bit blind ;D22:57
persiaAh, "... and <a>tools</a> from nvidia ...".  Yes, I'm blind.22:58
