jcrigbypersia: ping?00:27
persiajcrigby, Hey.00:40
jcrigbypersia, I need you to send the technical board an email to ask them to tweek permissions to the packages to which the DMB has granted me upload rights00:41
jcrigbypersia, or so I have been told00:41
persiaThat never happened?  Ugh.  Sure, I'll take care of that today.00:41
jcrigbypersia, thanks!00:42
persiaReally what you need is for someone with the right permissions to run the correct LP API client script.00:42
persiaBut yeah, my sending email will probably make that happen.00:42
jcrigbyor at least with the email I can ping a TB member on IRC to remind them00:43
persiaThey're usually fairly good about that.00:44
persiaIn the meantime, if you have some packages somewhere and just need a signature, I'm happy to push them.00:44

rsalvetiDaviey: jcrigby is working on pushing a new u-boot release in the following days01:59
rsalvetithat should cover PXE support01:59
rsalvetiat least the initial support01:59
rsalvetijcrigby: still don't have the permission to push the packages?02:00
jcrigbyrsalveti, I'm hoping that that will be fixed in the morning.  If not I will ping some TB members02:01
rsalvetijcrigby: cool02:02
rsalvetijcrigby: as you're the u-boot maintainer from linaro side, are you ok releasing it at this thursday?02:03
rsalvetiiirc this is the same day the kernel team is tagging their tree02:03
jcrigbyrsalveti, yes I believe that is fine.  The core functionality works the USB related stuff seems to work for others but not me:)02:04
rsalvetijcrigby: we can try to do some debugging on this next week02:04
jcrigbyrsalveti, sounds good.  I also sent some questions to some ti folks.  I got back a response from a third person asking for pointers to git trees which I provided.02:05
persiajcrigby, rsalveti: Will that cover https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-o-arm-uboot-tftp ?02:22
persiaOr does that spec need workitems, approval, etc.?02:23
rsalvetipersia: yup02:23
persiaAh, cool!02:23
jcrigbypersia, at least for panda02:23
rsalvetiwe may end up doing a hack session to try to also get it working for xM02:23
persiajcrigby, Hrm?  Does linaro's u-boot implementation differ by board?02:23
rsalvetibut don't know the current status of the usb patches for xM02:23
rsalvetipersia: not tftp and pxe, but the usb and network driver02:24
rsalvetithat depends on the hardware02:24
persiaAha!  So the functionality will be there, but drivers may not be there.02:24
jcrigbypersia, exactly02:24
persiaCould someone more knowledgeable update the spec description to indicate what is actually being implemented?02:24
rsalvetipersia: yeah, that's on my plate02:25
rsalvetididn't do it yet because was busy with the unity and compiz work02:25
persiaAlso, is there interest from other Linaro members to get their network or USB drivers into u-boot?02:25
jcrigbypersia, we may get omap3 working as well, it has usb working for storgage just not tested for networking yet02:25
persiaHow about mx5 or one of the others?02:26
jcrigbypersia, not sure02:26
persiaHeh.  That's about what I expected :)02:26
rsalvetithat would be nice to check with the specific landing team02:26
persiaDo you guys want to check?  Do you want to give me names, and I'll ask folk?02:27
rsalvetipersia: https://wiki.linaro.org/LandingTeams02:28
persiaHeh.  OK.  I'll ask folk.02:28
persiaPlease let me know when the spec is in shape, as I'll be pointing them there as I ask.02:28
rsalvetipersia: https://wiki.linaro.org/MeetTheTeam#Member_Services02:28
rsalvetipersia: just ping directly the landing team TLs02:29
persiaThey already have all the context?02:29
rsalvetiprobably not, usually they are mainly working on the kernel side02:29
persiaThat's what I thought :)  I'll wait until the spec is clear, so I have something real to talk about.02:30

dhana013Hi hello I want ubuntu 10.04 arm926 how to make from scratch06:59
dhana013any one help me06:59
dhana013 I want ubuntu 10.04 arm92607:40
dhana013how to do it?07:40
dhana013I am trying with rootstock07:40
infinitydhana013: ARM926 is ARMv5, Ubuntu only supports ARMv7 at this point.07:41
infinitydhana013: So, you either need to be prepared to replace the toolchain and literally rebuild the entire archive (ouch), use an older release that supported ARMv5, or perhaps use Debian?07:42
dhana013thanks for u r information07:49

Spider-Porkmorning11:21
Spider-Porki am using ubuntu 11.04 headless on my pandaboard. I need a console on monitor+mouse+keyboard instead of 115200 serial. Any help?11:22
Spider-PorkNeed i to modify boot script?11:23
ogra_it will fire up tty logins after the configuration is done11:23
ogra_so if you can do your configuration on serial it should already do what you want after that11:24
Spider-Porki would to have console on my dvi-d external monitor instead serial terminal11:25
ogra_if you actually *need* oem-config on a framebuffer you indeed need to modify the cmdline a bit11:25
Spider-Porkok, you mean the cmd line at the boot prompt?11:25
ogra_but beyond that, only the first boot config actually requires serial in the default configuration11:26
ogra_i mean you need to edits boot.scr of the virgin, unbooted image11:26
ogra_*edit11:26
Spider-Porkok11:27
Spider-Porkis there a guide to help this edit?11:27
ogra_somewhere in the ubuntu wiki i think11:27
Spider-Porkok, thank you ogra_11:27
ogra_look at the subpages of /ARM/OMAP on wiki.ubuntu.com11:28
ogra_but if i were you i would just go with the default, do the first boot config on serial and then use the monitor11:28
Spider-Porksorry but i am just noob about these stuff. How can i use monitor after first boot?11:30
ogra_there will be a login prompt on your screen, you just log in11:30
Spider-Porkehm, no there isn't11:30
ogra_you already created the user and set the timezone etc ?11:31
Spider-Porkyep the machine is running11:31
ogra_did you reboot since ?11:32
Spider-Porkyep11:32
ogra_with the monitor plugged in ?11:32
Spider-Porkand i see the boot menu on serial console11:32
Spider-Porkyep11:32
ogra_boot menu ?11:32
Spider-Porkhit any key to stop auto-boot11:32
Spider-Pork3 2 1...11:32
ogra_ah11:32
ogra_so it boots to a login prompt on the serial console ?11:33
Spider-Porkyep11:33
Spider-Porki see che serial config inside boot.script11:33
ogra_ps ax|grep getty11:34
ogra_do you see getty's running on the differnt tty's ?11:34
ogra_it should list tty1 to 611:34
Spider-Porkogra_: http://ideone.com/n7GoA11:35
ogra_so there are login prompts running on your ttys11:35
ogra_are you sure your monitor is connected correctly ?11:36
Spider-Porki think yes11:36
Spider-Porkthe monitor has dvi-d interface11:37
ogra_well, there should be no reason that you dont see a login prompt on your screen11:37
Spider-Porkso i'm using a dvi-d/hdmi A cable11:38
ogra_and you connected to which socket ?11:38
Spider-Porkthe external one11:38
ogra_on the panda, to which graphics port did you connect ?11:38
Spider-Porkthe external port11:38
Spider-Porkthere are two ports11:38
Spider-Porkone near ethernet cable11:38
ogra_there is a hdmi and a dvi one11:38
Spider-Porkand one external11:38
ogra_they are labeled11:39
Spider-Porkdvi one11:39
ogra_did you try the other one ?11:39
Spider-Porknope because the label says: DVI-D and i'm using a DVI-D cable11:39
Spider-Porki try11:39
Spider-Porknow is working11:40
ogra_:)11:41
Spider-Porkthank you ogra_11:41
Spider-Porkwhy?11:41
Spider-Porki followed the tag on the board11:41
Spider-Porknice thank you ogra_11:42
Spider-Porki saw inside boot script that the ram is limited to 512M11:43
Spider-Porkwhy?11:43
ogra_it isnt11:43
ogra_check with free11:43
ogra_there is a reserved memory area for the dicati engine11:43
ogra_*ducati11:43
Spider-Porkah ok11:44

ogra_starting at 512m11:44
ogra_ducati does all the multimedia processing11:44
Spider-Porkah cool11:44
Spider-Porkthank you11:44
ppisatii like the ducati monster carbon black11:59

ppisati:)11:59
ogra_the one that MacSlow has ?12:00
ppisatiwho?12:00

ogra_i think he drives one12:00
ppisatihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ducati_Monster_620_Dark.jpg12:00
ogra_i think thats the one, not 100% sure12:01
ppisaticool, i like it :)12:01
ppisatiogra_: btw, any updates on the ac100 image?12:02
ppisatiogra_: shall i bring mine to dublin? so you can see where the installatin fails?12:03
ogra_just rolling a new kernel package12:03
ogra_yes pleas12:03

ogra_ok, so its definitely a prob with that model12:04
ppisatiouch12:04
ogra_tobin has the same12:04
ppisatiand it fails in the same way12:04
ogra_but he got a 10U now which works fine12:04
ppisatiplymouth fails and lalala12:05
ogra_that we will see in dublin ;)12:05
ogra_the plymouth messages are just cosmetic12:05
ogra_you can ignore them12:05
ogra_thats not the cause of the issue12:05
ppisatiok12:05
ogra_apparently the unpacked tarball is corrupt12:05
ppisatiouch12:06
ogra_so your rootfs isnt completely there12:06
ppisatidid you roll a new rootfs too?12:06
ogra_that seems to only happen on that one model which is really weird12:06
ogra_i will12:06
ppisatiok12:06
ogra_first the kernel needs to be up to date ... that takes a day12:06
ogra_but i plan to have a newer natty image in place before the sprint and hopefully also a headles spin12:07
ppisati cool12:08
ppisatia headless would be awesome12:08
ppisatias a side note, there's a fix for the usb thing on omap12:09
ogra_yup, i hear you12:09
ogra_i thought that didnt work ?12:09

peteiowHello is there a chat room for new users please?16:16
persiapersia, Depending on your question, here may be fine.16:17
* persia fails tab completion16:17
lilsteviepersia: hehe I hate it when that happens,16:19
persia"peteiow" < "persia", but apparently my client was processing the /part just at the moment I pressed <tab>, but before having printed it :)16:20
persiaErr, no, I'm completely wrong.  Still, shouldn't complete to myself :/16:20
lilstevieheh I tabcomp with 2 chars so it would have for me16:21
lilsteviebut my client also completes to the last to talk for a given pattern16:21
persiaThat's helpful.  Extra points if it also includes those who have already left the channel in the candidates.16:22
lilstevieno extra points16:23
lilstevie:(16:23
lilsteviepart and rejoin resets that person in the queue16:23
persia(perhaps for some time (e.g. 300 seconds), with the timeout indefinitely extended when there is an outstanding highlight from that nick)16:23
persiaOh, that makes it extra tricky for folk who bounce a lot.16:24
persia(or netsplits)16:24
lilstevieyeah :/16:24
persiaOh, you might know: earlier apachelogger was asking about GLES drivers for i.MX53, and whether there were any available under terms that could allow them into multiverse.16:25
lilstevieno idea, but a quick look at freescales site indicates that the drivers may be difficlt16:29
lilstevies/difficlt/difficult/16:29
persiaYeah, that was my experience from the same look.16:29
persiaI can never keep track of which devices you're playing with, so I figured it was worth asking :)16:30
lilsteviewhat is the stance on licencing for multiverse, needs to be canonical friendly, or is it maintainer of the package is responcible16:31
persiaNeeds to be mirror-friendly.16:32
lilstevieah16:32
persiaSpecifically, needs to allow redistribution without cost or explicit acceptance.16:32
lilsteviethat is fair enough16:33
lilstevieas for the devices I am playing with, as a general rule, mainstream android devices16:33
persiaIt's rather relaxed.  That said, be careful if you use software from there: some of it requires sending postcards to folk, some of it is non-commercial only, some can't be used in some countries, etc.16:33
lilstevieages ago it was the iphone16:33
persiaOh, just retail stuff?  I thought you sometimes did development boards also.16:34
lilstevieI don't get my hands on many dev boards these days :(16:34
persiaPrices keep dropping (although I'll admit I much prefer retail devices)16:34
lilstevieyeah16:35
lilsteviepolish of retail devices is just that bit nicer16:35
lilstevieeven if I am bringing an unsupported os :p16:35
persiaThey also stack and travel better.16:35
lilstevielooking forward to my next target16:35
lilstevieyeah that is true16:36
persiaWhat do you have planned?16:37
lilstevietransformer16:37
persiaThat's the one that turns into a robot?16:38
lilsteviehaha the one that turns into a netbook16:39
persiaAh, so not http://mobilementalism.com/2007/09/04/motorola-transformer-phone/16:39
lilsteviehaha no,16:40
lilsteviethat thing looks cool though16:40
lilstevieASUS eeepad transformer16:40
persiaOooh, nice.16:41
lilstevieyeah :)16:41
lilstevieshould arrive soonish16:41
persiaAny chance that a kernel could be constructed that worked for both that and the ac100, or is too little autodetectable?16:42
lilstevieprobably a bit big16:43
persiabig meaning incompatible with the partitioning, or just extra megabytes?16:43
lilsteviebig meaning extra megabytes which arent able to be spared :(16:44
persiaWhat's the limitation there?16:44
lilstevieogra was saying as it is the natty initramfs does not fit due to the size limitations16:44
lilsteviemost android devices have a limitation of around 7-8MB16:45
persiaOh, the partitioning.16:45
persiaWe definitely need a way to safely and correctly repartition those, and apply a bootloader we can understand.16:46
persiaOn my Dynabook, I have about 3GB wasted because of the restrictions, and having to maintain multiple kernel trees just makes it hard.16:47
lilsteviewell on these tegra devices it shouldn't be that horrible16:47
lilstevieon my galaxy tab I had to tweak compression and rip things down16:47
lilsteviebut if I understand what APX mode is, it should be a bootrom level recovery mechanism16:48
lilstevieopening the doors to porting uboot16:48
