[05:56] <MrCurious> sigh, trying to install omap4 add ons on 10.10 i get package dependencies cannot be resolved ubuntu-omap4-extras
[05:57] <MrCurious> wow its in a dependency nightmare
[05:58] <MrCurious> is 10.10 for pandaboard all broken?
[06:10] <MrCurious> anyone here isntalled 10.10 on a pandaboard, and remember if there was any issues installing the TI omap addons?
[07:36] <MrCurious> interesting 17MB/s reading from USB on 10.10, and 8MB/s on 11.04
[08:36] <rsalveti> MrCurious: well, afaik nobody broke it, but I remember one time TI just removed some packages by mistake
[08:36] <rsalveti> MrCurious: what packages can't you install?
[08:36] <MrCurious> on 10.10, i try the install ti add ons for omap
[08:36] <MrCurious> and it barfs
[08:36] <MrCurious> i.e. GUI wont let me install it
[08:37] <rsalveti> MrCurious: sure, but can you try identifying on the command line what dependency is broken?
[08:37] <MrCurious> then i try to install the omap4 meta package from command line, and it barfs on dependencies
[08:37] <MrCurious> ubuntu-omap4-extras
[08:38] <MrCurious> that one has failed dependencies, that it cant resolve, i think one was some package with -bad in its name
[08:38] <rsalveti> MrCurious: oh, ok
[08:38] <rsalveti> MrCurious: https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/release?field.series_filter=maverick
[08:38] <MrCurious> depends on ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia but it is not going to be installed
[08:38] <rsalveti> MrCurious: there's a newer version for gst-bad
[08:38] <rsalveti> that's why
[08:39] <rsalveti> we need to update the package
[08:39] <MrCurious> depends ... omap4-extras-connectivity but is not going to be installed
[08:39] <MrCurious> E: brocken packages
[08:39] <rsalveti> MrCurious: can you open a bug against https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia?
[08:39] <MrCurious> those are the 2 its barfing on now
[08:39]  * MrCurious blinks
[08:39] <MrCurious> i think i should re-install and verify before starting a fire
[08:40] <MrCurious> although, i have done it twice so far :)
[08:40] <MrCurious> so maybe starting a fire is ok now
[08:40] <rsalveti> it's probably broken, because ubuntu updated the package with a newer version
[08:40] <rsalveti> then it'll try to mix ubuntu packages with the ti ones
[08:40] <rsalveti> and it'll break, for sure
[08:41] <MrCurious> gah. need an account
[08:42] <MrCurious> its multimedia and connectivity that are broken
[08:42] <MrCurious> but the interesting thing was that usb speeds double compared to 11.04
[08:43] <MrCurious> wow! and ping times are better
[08:43] <gildean> i think it's stupid that you need an account for bug report made from inside the os, couldn't they just like record the ip and use some verification that it's not a bot?
[08:43] <MrCurious> from inside the os?
[08:44] <MrCurious> i am on osx
[08:44] <gildean> a lot of reports don't get made because it requires an account
[08:44] <gildean> well i mean from inside ubuntu
[08:44] <MrCurious> i will try to get a bug in tomorrow night. its late here
[08:44] <gildean> it morning here
[08:45] <MrCurious> almost 1 here
[08:46] <gildean> almost 11 in the morning here
[08:47] <MrCurious> upside, ping doesnt speed up disk reads
[08:47] <MrCurious> so the 10.10 kernel doesnt have THAT bug
[08:47] <gildean> anyways, the very least they should add an option to sign-in with other accounts that you can use an api with, like google, ubuntu-one etc. for making bug-reports
[08:48] <MrCurious> next test, upgrade the install to a 11.04 and see if it suffers a disk slow down
[08:50] <MrCurious> iirc i had a install db corruption, that may have caused this upgrade path bug?
[09:11] <kunguz> Which desktop do you suggest to use with a beagleboard?
[09:12] <ogra_> a flat one, so it doesnt slide off to one or the other side
[09:18] <kunguz> sudo apt-get install jwm ; is this enough to install jwm desktop on ubuntu?
[10:42] <kunguz> I installed lxde with sudo apt-get install lxde, how do I switch to lxde desktop?
[10:42] <Ursinha> kunguz: you should choose it in the login screen
[10:43] <kunguz> Ursinha: I installed it in ubuntu-arm headless, therefore  a graphical login screen does not appear...
[10:43] <Ursinha> hmm
[10:44] <Ursinha> well, there always the old way (.xinitrc; startx :P)
[10:44] <Ursinha> kunguz: let me see if I find the correct answer
[10:47] <Ursinha> kunguz: there's a file, /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and the defaultsession is there... I believe you can set it up there
[10:47] <Ursinha> kunguz: you have gdm but can't use it? :P
[10:49] <rsalveti> kunguz: if you installed gdm it should just work by default
[10:50] <rsalveti> unless you specify 'text' on the kernel cmdline
[10:50] <Ursinha> rsalveti: you mean that when I install a *-desktop package, it sets the default session to that? that would be weird
[10:51] <Ursinha> unless that's the only *-desktop you have installed....
[10:51] <rsalveti> Ursinha: I mean, gdm should at least show itself
[10:52] <Ursinha> rsalveti: he says he installed ubuntu-arm headless
[10:53] <rsalveti> Ursinha: headless shouldn't have gdm, but I believe if you install lxde it should bring gdm
[10:53] <rsalveti> but not sure, need to check the dependencies
[10:53] <Ursinha> makes sense
[10:54] <Ursinha> it uses lxdm
[10:54] <Ursinha> at least that's what the package in natty desktop says
[10:58] <Ursinha> kunguz: apt-cache show lxde should show you the dependencies
[11:05] <kunguz> Ursinha:  rsalveti thank you guys, now lxde is active
[11:23] <Ursinha> cool :)
[11:23] <Ursinha> kunguz: and what did you do for that to work?
[11:29] <kunguz> Ursinha: actually I did nothing, it just shows the desktop in the second run. By the way, do you know how do I correct the display quality?
[11:29] <Ursinha> hmm
[11:30] <kunguz> Ursinha: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-omap3 but the quality stays the same
[11:30] <Ursinha> kunguz: I believe rsalveti is your guy :)
[11:31] <rsalveti> kunguz: what you mean by quality?
[11:31] <rsalveti> kunguz: are you using omap3?
[11:31] <kunguz> rsalveti: I mean the graphics does not seem like 16-bit or 24-bit, it is more like 8-bit screen
[11:31] <kunguz> rsalveti: I am using beagleboard
[11:31] <kunguz> rsalveti: it has omap3
[11:32] <rsalveti> probably because the fb is using 16bpp
[11:32] <kunguz> rsalveti: how do I correct it?
[11:32] <rsalveti> kunguz: kernel cmd line
[11:32] <kunguz> rsalveti: what option should i add to correct it?
[11:32] <rsalveti> kunguz: if you check /boot/boot.script you'll see that's setting 16bpp by hand
[11:33] <kunguz> rsalveti: ok let me check
[11:33] <rsalveti> you should safely change to 32 I believe
[11:33] <kunguz> rsalveti: ok let me adjust it as you said
[11:35] <rsalveti> kunguz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BeagleEditBootscr
[11:35] <rsalveti> or just edit /boot/boot.script and then call flash-kernel
[11:36] <kunguz> rsalveti: thank you, I am adjusting as you said now. On my beagleboard usbs keep failing do you know any reason to that?,
[11:44] <kunguz> rsalveti: I changed it to 32 but the color palette stays the same inside the desktop
[11:45] <rsalveti> kunguz: can you paste me the output from 'fbset -i' and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:45] <rsalveti> ?
[11:46] <rsalveti> kunguz: which usb devices are you using with beagle?
[11:47] <kunguz> rsalveti: http://sudrap.org/paste/text/15085/ here is the xorg.0.log
[11:48] <kunguz> rsalveti: I am using a wireless mouse, keyboard and a wifi dongle.
[11:48] <kunguz> rsalveti: I will paste the lsusb output
[11:48] <kunguz> rsalveti: and also the error
[11:49] <rsalveti> kunguz: probably beagle doesn't have enough power to power all your usb devices
[11:49] <rsalveti> wifi dongle usually consumes a lot of power
[11:49] <kunguz> rsalveti: better to use an external adapter then
[11:50] <kunguz> rsalveti: what about the display?
[11:50] <rsalveti> kunguz: mapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60
[11:50] <rsalveti> this should be omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-32@60
[11:50] <rsalveti> so you still need to change it
[11:50] <ppisati> ogra_: rsalveti: can you ping me when the kernel chat tralk starts? thanks
[11:50] <kunguz> rsalveti: this is inside the boot.script right_?
[11:50] <ppisati> s/tralk/taalk/
[11:50] <ppisati> ohh... talk...
[11:51] <rsalveti> kunguz: yeah, but then you need to call 'flash-kernel' and reboot
[11:51] <kunguz> rsalveti: ok now I see, let me do that
[11:58] <ogra_> ppisati, the "kernel chat talk" ?
[11:58] <kunguz> rsalveti: that's strange because there is a funny view in desktop although it is 32 bits still acts like a 8bit display
[11:58]  * ogra_ doesnt know what you refer to
[11:58] <kunguz> rsalveti: [    90.627] (--) omapfb(0): Depth 24, (==) framebuffer bpp 32

[14:16] <hrw> micahg: fetched chromium-browser daily - will see how far it will go with arm
[14:18] <micahg> hrw: cool, thanks
[14:21] <hrw> micahg: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=82534 pointed me to fix for cups stuff
[14:21] <hrw> micahg: and it is fixed in 13.0.782.11
[14:22] <micahg> hrw: that was in the latest upload to oneiric
[14:23] <hrw> cool
[14:27] <hrw> babbage needs 1000 minutes to fail on chromium. panda needs just 444... now started build with -j2 so will check how much time it will take
[16:09] <Martyn> Quick question -- Jason Hobbs is working on the uboot menu patch
[16:09] <Martyn> I'm working on ext2/FAT boot w/ syslinux-like config file support
[16:10] <Martyn> is a syslinux-like file sufficient?   I have a script that can parse grub boot files and turn them into syslinux config files
[16:11] <Martyn> That way, to upgrade the kernel and update the initrd, all that would have to be done is dropping the new initrd and kernel into .. say .. /boot, and then update a uboot.cfg file
[16:11] <Martyn> and a basic menu would be available on the serial port (and configurable options like timeout)

[17:00] <ogra_> *above
[17:33] <MrCurious_> whats the proper link to report a bug in the ti-omap4 addons for ubuntu 10.10?  there are unmeetable dependencies that are breaking it currently.
[19:25]  * MrCurious_ looks for persia
[21:35] <MrCurious_> does 10.10 run at 600MHZ or 1GHZ? on panda
[21:40] <MrCurious_> can i get a hint on where to report a bug in ubuntu 10.10 omap add ons' dependencies for pandaboard?
[21:41] <MrCurious_> i hope this isnt a arm-prayer-day, and i am sitting here talking during arm prayers or something like that. everyone is so quiet.
[21:46] <gildean> it's somewhat late at night, i'm guessing
[21:47] <gildean> you might get the answer quicker from the ac100-channel, some people there have a pandaboard too, i think
[21:47] <gildean> the channel is #ac100
