[05:56] sigh, trying to install omap4 add ons on 10.10 i get package dependencies cannot be resolved ubuntu-omap4-extras [05:57] wow its in a dependency nightmare [05:58] is 10.10 for pandaboard all broken? [06:10] anyone here isntalled 10.10 on a pandaboard, and remember if there was any issues installing the TI omap addons? [07:36] interesting 17MB/s reading from USB on 10.10, and 8MB/s on 11.04 [08:36] MrCurious: well, afaik nobody broke it, but I remember one time TI just removed some packages by mistake [08:36] MrCurious: what packages can't you install? [08:36] on 10.10, i try the install ti add ons for omap [08:36] and it barfs [08:36] i.e. GUI wont let me install it [08:37] MrCurious: sure, but can you try identifying on the command line what dependency is broken? [08:37] then i try to install the omap4 meta package from command line, and it barfs on dependencies [08:37] ubuntu-omap4-extras [08:38] that one has failed dependencies, that it cant resolve, i think one was some package with -bad in its name [08:38] MrCurious: oh, ok [08:38] MrCurious: https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/release?field.series_filter=maverick [08:38] depends on ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia but it is not going to be installed [08:38] MrCurious: there's a newer version for gst-bad [08:38] that's why [08:39] we need to update the package [08:39] depends ... omap4-extras-connectivity but is not going to be installed [08:39] E: brocken packages [08:39] MrCurious: can you open a bug against https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia? [08:39] those are the 2 its barfing on now [08:39] * MrCurious blinks [08:39] i think i should re-install and verify before starting a fire [08:40] although, i have done it twice so far :) [08:40] so maybe starting a fire is ok now [08:40] it's probably broken, because ubuntu updated the package with a newer version [08:40] then it'll try to mix ubuntu packages with the ti ones [08:40] and it'll break, for sure [08:41] gah. need an account [08:42] its multimedia and connectivity that are broken [08:42] but the interesting thing was that usb speeds double compared to 11.04 [08:43] wow! and ping times are better [08:43] 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] from inside the os? [08:44] i am on osx [08:44] a lot of reports don't get made because it requires an account [08:44] well i mean from inside ubuntu [08:44] i will try to get a bug in tomorrow night. its late here [08:44] it morning here [08:45] almost 1 here [08:46] almost 11 in the morning here [08:47] upside, ping doesnt speed up disk reads [08:47] so the 10.10 kernel doesnt have THAT bug [08:47] 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] next test, upgrade the install to a 11.04 and see if it suffers a disk slow down [08:50] iirc i had a install db corruption, that may have caused this upgrade path bug? === ogra is now known as Guest4143 === Guest4143 is now known as ogra_ [09:11] Which desktop do you suggest to use with a beagleboard? [09:12] a flat one, so it doesnt slide off to one or the other side [09:18] sudo apt-get install jwm ; is this enough to install jwm desktop on ubuntu? [10:42] I installed lxde with sudo apt-get install lxde, how do I switch to lxde desktop? [10:42] kunguz: you should choose it in the login screen [10:43] Ursinha: I installed it in ubuntu-arm headless, therefore a graphical login screen does not appear... [10:43] hmm === ogra is now known as Guest69691 [10:44] well, there always the old way (.xinitrc; startx :P) [10:44] kunguz: let me see if I find the correct answer [10:47] kunguz: there's a file, /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and the defaultsession is there... I believe you can set it up there [10:47] kunguz: you have gdm but can't use it? :P [10:49] kunguz: if you installed gdm it should just work by default [10:50] unless you specify 'text' on the kernel cmdline [10:50] rsalveti: you mean that when I install a *-desktop package, it sets the default session to that? that would be weird [10:51] unless that's the only *-desktop you have installed.... [10:51] Ursinha: I mean, gdm should at least show itself [10:52] rsalveti: he says he installed ubuntu-arm headless [10:53] Ursinha: headless shouldn't have gdm, but I believe if you install lxde it should bring gdm [10:53] but not sure, need to check the dependencies [10:53] makes sense [10:54] it uses lxdm === Guest69691 is now known as ogra_ [10:54] at least that's what the package in natty desktop says [10:58] kunguz: apt-cache show lxde should show you the dependencies [11:05] Ursinha: rsalveti thank you guys, now lxde is active [11:23] cool :) [11:23] kunguz: and what did you do for that to work? [11:29] 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] hmm [11:30] Ursinha: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-omap3 but the quality stays the same [11:30] kunguz: I believe rsalveti is your guy :) [11:31] kunguz: what you mean by quality? [11:31] kunguz: are you using omap3? [11:31] rsalveti: I mean the graphics does not seem like 16-bit or 24-bit, it is more like 8-bit screen [11:31] rsalveti: I am using beagleboard [11:31] rsalveti: it has omap3 [11:32] probably because the fb is using 16bpp [11:32] rsalveti: how do I correct it? [11:32] kunguz: kernel cmd line [11:32] rsalveti: what option should i add to correct it? [11:32] kunguz: if you check /boot/boot.script you'll see that's setting 16bpp by hand [11:33] rsalveti: ok let me check [11:33] you should safely change to 32 I believe [11:33] rsalveti: ok let me adjust it as you said [11:35] kunguz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BeagleEditBootscr [11:35] or just edit /boot/boot.script and then call flash-kernel [11:36] 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] rsalveti: I changed it to 32 but the color palette stays the same inside the desktop [11:45] kunguz: can you paste me the output from 'fbset -i' and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:45] ? [11:46] kunguz: which usb devices are you using with beagle? [11:47] rsalveti: http://sudrap.org/paste/text/15085/ here is the xorg.0.log [11:48] rsalveti: I am using a wireless mouse, keyboard and a wifi dongle. [11:48] rsalveti: I will paste the lsusb output [11:48] rsalveti: and also the error [11:49] kunguz: probably beagle doesn't have enough power to power all your usb devices [11:49] wifi dongle usually consumes a lot of power [11:49] rsalveti: better to use an external adapter then [11:50] rsalveti: what about the display? [11:50] kunguz: mapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60 [11:50] this should be omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-32@60 [11:50] so you still need to change it [11:50] ogra_: rsalveti: can you ping me when the kernel chat tralk starts? thanks [11:50] rsalveti: this is inside the boot.script right_? [11:50] s/tralk/taalk/ [11:50] ohh... talk... [11:51] kunguz: yeah, but then you need to call 'flash-kernel' and reboot [11:51] rsalveti: ok now I see, let me do that [11:58] ppisati, the "kernel chat talk" ? [11:58] 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] rsalveti: [ 90.627] (--) omapfb(0): Depth 24, (==) framebuffer bpp 32 [12:13] ogra_: https://wiki.canonical.com/UbuntuEngineering/Rally/Oneiric/ARM [12:13] ogra_: thursday afternoon === chrisccoulson is now known as chrisccoulson_ === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson === ogra is now known as ogra_ [14:16] micahg: fetched chromium-browser daily - will see how far it will go with arm [14:18] hrw: cool, thanks [14:21] micahg: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=82534 pointed me to fix for cups stuff [14:21] micahg: and it is fixed in 13.0.782.11 [14:22] hrw: that was in the latest upload to oneiric [14:23] cool [14:27] 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 === prpplague is now known as prpplague^2 [16:09] Quick question -- Jason Hobbs is working on the uboot menu patch [16:09] I'm working on ext2/FAT boot w/ syslinux-like config file support [16:10] 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] 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] and a basic menu would be available on the serial port (and configurable options like timeout) [16:53] bug 686124 [16:53] Launchpad bug 686124 in util-linux "Add option to sfdisk to use maximum partition size" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/686124 [17:00] GrueMaster, might be the ablve change [17:00] *above [17:33] 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. === ogra is now known as Guest32535 === Guest32535 is now known as ogra_ [19:25] * MrCurious_ looks for persia [21:35] does 10.10 run at 600MHZ or 1GHZ? on panda [21:40] can i get a hint on where to report a bug in ubuntu 10.10 omap add ons' dependencies for pandaboard? [21:41] 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] it's somewhat late at night, i'm guessing [21:47] you might get the answer quicker from the ac100-channel, some people there have a pandaboard too, i think [21:47] the channel is #ac100 [21:47] here on freenode [21:50] ty
