| zooko | Folks: can I buy a laptop or netbook or smartbook or whateveryacallem with ARM CPU and comes with Ubuntu on? | 02:13 |
|---|---|---|
| mouse | zooko i would try the cheap Plug computers @ https://globalscaletechnologies.com/default.aspx | 02:16 |
| zooko | Ah, I like those. Got some already! I meant an actual portable thing with a battery, keyboard, wifi, and display. | 02:16 |
| zooko | Thanks, though. | 02:17 |
| mouse | no but i imagine one can be built problem is, $$$$$$ | 02:17 |
| mouse | i have the DreamPlug and i like it but so far can only use the gtkterm on my laptop to access it | 02:20 |
| * zooko nods | 02:22 | |
| zooko | Efika Smartbook exists | 02:23 |
| zooko | And Always Innovating Touchbook | 02:23 |
| zooko | Or maybe Always Innovating Smartbook. I think they have two models. | 02:23 |
| mouse | the minicom tutorial is a bit too much when the system is already setup and tried to access it through minicom and may have messed up some settings: i check that out | 02:24 |
| mouse | the efika looks really nice | 02:31 |
| mouse | that's sick i love it | 02:33 |
| mouse | now i want one :P | 02:36 |
| Neko | and just like that it seems we got an order... :) | 02:48 |
| siji | persia, you there | 07:39 |
| kapinter | Hi! I had to leave yesterday, but I still have a problem to boot ubuntu-arm on pandaboard, after showing ubuntu logo the monitor switches to powersave mode. Do you have any ideas what can be the problem and how to solve it? | 07:47 |
| siji | kapinter, ya i was searching for you yesterday | 07:48 |
| siji | inbetween i also got busy with something | 07:48 |
| kapinter | siji: thanks alot! :-) | 07:48 |
| siji | I had a look into ur bootarg , seems like it's ok | 07:49 |
| siji | from where you got the RootFS ? | 07:49 |
| siji | have you build it your own by using rootstock? | 07:49 |
| siji | persia,completed XBMC build successfully | 07:50 |
| siji | it's working fine now on beagleboard with ubntu natty | 07:50 |
| kapinter | siji: I just downloaded it and used the sudo sh -c 'zcat ./ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+<omap image>.img.gz >/dev/<device name>' script | 07:53 |
| kapinter | siji: from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/ | 07:53 |
| siji | ok | 07:53 |
| siji | kapinter, may be cose the resolution is not supported by ur monitor | 07:54 |
| kapinter | siji: maybe, but when I switch to tty with CTRL+ALT+F2 it also disappears. What resolution should my monitor support? | 07:55 |
| siji | kapinter, I suggest you to add kernel debug trace in your bootarg | 07:58 |
| siji | which wil tell u wht exaclty the error is | 07:58 |
| kapinter | ok, and how can I do it? | 07:58 |
| siji | In your rootfs there will be a file named as boot.script | 07:58 |
| siji | @/boot | 07:59 |
| siji | add console=ttyO2,115200n8 there | 07:59 |
| siji | then create new boot.scr from this script | 07:59 |
| kapinter | ok | 07:59 |
| siji | http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ | 08:03 |
| siji | kapinter, it may help you | 08:04 |
| nicofs | When trying to install libc6 i get "dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Illegal instruction)" - What can I do? | 08:18 |
| suihkulokki | what CPU | 08:19 |
| suihkulokki | chances are your cpu is not ARMv7 compatible, which is what ubuntu requires | 08:20 |
| nicofs | "ARM Cortex A8" | 08:21 |
| nicofs | How can I build a chroot environment image of 2GB size with ubuntu-minimal in it? | 08:31 |
| nicofs | I assume i somehow create a 2GB image, mount it somewhere and then chroot into it... has someone got some sort of guide for that? | 08:33 |
| siji | nicofs, so your image is ready ? | 08:35 |
| siji | if not create a image as per this doc | 08:36 |
| siji | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch | 08:36 |
| siji | then mount this image into a folder | 08:36 |
| siji | after that chroot to this folder | 08:36 |
| nicofs | siji, so rootstock is some sort of debootstrap for arm...? | 08:37 |
| siji | right | 08:37 |
| siji | for generating image dnt forget to give the argument --notarball | 08:38 |
| nicofs | siji, if i use this --notarball option, what filesystem will be inside the image? | 08:45 |
| nicofs | or does that just mean, rootstock won't compress it and that i need to create the image first and then rootstock into that image? | 08:47 |
| siji | nicofs, no it will generate file system too | 08:48 |
| siji | And I think it's ext4 (not sure) | 08:48 |
| nicofs | siji, i think i need ext2... | 08:48 |
| siji | nicofs, the method which you mentioned hasnt worked for me | 08:49 |
| siji | I failed to chroot to it | 08:49 |
| nicofs | i'll just give it a go as it is and then use the long way round if it doesn't work... | 08:49 |
| siji | ok | 08:50 |
| nicofs_ | siji, rootstock aborted with errors... permission denied to change ownership of files... i'll run again and see when this occurs... | 09:04 |
| siji | nicofs, ok | 09:04 |
| === nicofs_ is now known as nicofs | ||
| nicofs | siji, rootstock segfaults... but before i deal with any of that, i'll have lunch... | 09:42 |
| siji | nicofs, i suggest to start the rootstock process, then move for lunch :) | 09:43 |
| siji | :) | 09:43 |
| nicofs | siji, that just segfaulted... if i run it again, it will do that again iguess... but anyway, why not... | 09:48 |
| siji | nicofs, srry | 09:48 |
| siji | i hasnt noticed ,"rootstock segfaults.." | 09:49 |
| kapinter | siji: I just noticed I have this in dmesg | 10:01 |
| kapinter | [ 28.173492] hdmi: Enter HDMI_W1_StopVideoFrame() | 10:01 |
| kapinter | [ 28.173522] hdmi: *** Set PHY power mode to 0 | 10:01 |

| kapinter | but otherwise nothing suspicious | 10:01 |
| hell | how can i set more resolutionthan 640x480 on panda with DELL 3008 attached with hdmi? | 10:03 |
| siji | kapinter, pls pastebin xorg.log | 10:06 |
| kapinter | siji: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/652321/ | 10:10 |
| siji | kapinter, doubt about "Virtual size is 1680x1050 (pitch 1680) | 10:17 |
| siji | " | 10:17 |
| kapinter | siji: good point! :-) I will check it! | 10:19 |
| siji | kapinter, may you have to set the resolution manually | 10:21 |
| siji | may maverick is predefined by some specific resolution which is not matching here | 10:22 |
| nicofs | siji, depending on whether i choose xubuntu or ubuntu-minimal i get segfault or operation not permitted... | 10:33 |
| siji | nicofs, what are the parameters in ur rootstock ? | 10:33 |
| siji | nicofs, if you want minimal OS , then add lxde | 10:34 |
| nicofs | siji, the ones from that guide you gave me... | 10:34 |
| siji | ok | 10:34 |
| nicofs | siji, i'd already be happy with cli only and do the rest from within the system... | 10:34 |
| siji | cool | 10:35 |
| nicofs | siji, that's why i used ubuntu-minimal... but if even that doesn't work... but maybe it's my host system - i'll try my other pc... | 10:35 |
| siji | rootstock -f "name" -l "loginname" -p "password" -i "imagesize" -d "ubuntu_distroname" --seed lxde,openssh,wget | 10:36 |
| siji | You can add more in seed with coma for adding more packages | 10:37 |
| nicofs | siji, yes - did that... | 10:37 |
| siji | ok | 10:37 |
| nicofs | i always add wget and aptitude... | 10:38 |
| siji | ok | 10:38 |
| siji | if you are targeting omap board then add linux-omap | 10:39 |
| nicofs | where do i add linux-omap? | 10:40 |
| persia | siji: nice work! | 10:50 |
| kapinter | siji: where can I edit monitor settings? can't find xorg.conf | 10:59 |
| siji | kapinter, it wont be there | 11:00 |
| siji | xorg is doing by it's own | 11:00 |
| siji | so either you have to create xorg.conf file | 11:00 |
| siji | or add this parameters in bootarg | 11:00 |
| nicofs | siji, i successfully created an image... let's see if it works on the target device... | 11:05 |
| siji | great | 11:05 |
| siji | If qemu-arm-static binary is not there in ur host , it may give some errors | 11:06 |
| kunguz | How to start X by using rs232 connection of beagleboard? | 11:41 |
| dmart | kunguz: What filesystem are you using? If the filesystem contains X and a desktop environment, it will usually start by itself | 12:03 |
| kunguz | dmart: when I type sudo lxdm it starts but what should I type when I am using rs232 | 12:17 |
| siji | kunguz, sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm start | 12:18 |
| dmart | siji, kunguz: Sounds plausible to me. If lxdm uses upstart though, you might neet to type "sudo start lxdm" instead | 12:39 |
| siji | dmart, right | 12:45 |
| CaelThunderwing | ok im new to linux much less Android or ARM devices but is it possible if to at any time use a pure Ubuntu distro for arm on an ARM based tablet ? (ARM9 w/ v5l instruction set) | 12:46 |
| dmart | CaelThunderwing: The most recent build of Ubuntu that will run on ARMv5 is jaonty (9.04). If you want something more up-to-date then Debian's armel port might be a better bet. | 13:06 |
| persia | CaelThunderwing: Yes, for some tablets, but that particular one is ARMv5. You want to use Debian there. | 13:07 |
| dmart | CaelThunderwing: either way, you will need to do some manual setup -- I suggest you search the web to see if there are other people tying to achieve similar things with the same hardware. Someone may already have come up with a recipe for doing it. | 13:09 |
| CaelThunderwing | how would i go installing it? for these tablets thers just the wmt_script and FirmwareInstall foldre you copy to SD. | 13:10 |
| persia | CaelThunderwing: It really depends on the specific hardware and the content of the firmware for the device. | 13:10 |
| CaelThunderwing | WM8650 | 13:11 |
| CaelThunderwing | device: http://www.ekengroup.com/m009s/ | 13:11 |
| persia | *if* you have a means to update the firmware, you may be able to install crafted firmware that loads linux, which then connects to some filesystem that matches your install. | 13:11 |
| persia | The other option, that works for some devices, is that the firmware might have some facility for loading the operating system in a well-described way, which instructions you may be able to follow. | 13:12 |
| persia | We usually advse folk to look for device-specific communities as leaders in finding out *how* to install some linux. From that, we may be able to help install Ubuntu, but for your device, you will want to run Debian once you can run linux. | 13:13 |
| CaelThunderwing | atleast when it begins the Flashing process for Android it does load a Form of linux. | 13:19 |
| persia | Lots of Android devices seem to use fastboot, and expect images that would be generated with abootimg. | 13:20 |
| lilstevie | android itself is a form of linux :) | 13:20 |
| persia | Dunno if that would work for your device, or the state of fastboot/abootimg in Debian today. | 13:20 |
| lilstevie | pretty much all android devices use the fastboot loader fot loading the kernel image at least | 13:21 |
| lilstevie | the only exception I have seen to that is the non tegra galaxy devices | 13:21 |
| persia | Indeed. Android and Ubuntu are just different userspaces for the same class of kernels (although each has some requirements of the kernel that the other doesn't have) | 13:21 |
| persia | So, it's all "linux" in a very real sense. | 13:21 |
| lilstevie | :) my flashable image package works :D | 13:22 |
