=== asac_ is now known as asac [02:13] Folks: can I buy a laptop or netbook or smartbook or whateveryacallem with ARM CPU and comes with Ubuntu on? [02:16] zooko i would try the cheap Plug computers @ https://globalscaletechnologies.com/default.aspx [02:16] Ah, I like those. Got some already! I meant an actual portable thing with a battery, keyboard, wifi, and display. [02:17] Thanks, though. [02:17] no but i imagine one can be built problem is, $$$$$$ [02:20] i have the DreamPlug and i like it but so far can only use the gtkterm on my laptop to access it [02:22] * zooko nods [02:23] Efika Smartbook exists [02:23] And Always Innovating Touchbook [02:23] Or maybe Always Innovating Smartbook. I think they have two models. [02:24] 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 [02:31] the efika looks really nice [02:33] that's sick i love it [02:36] now i want one :P [02:48] and just like that it seems we got an order... :) [07:39] persia, you there [07:47] 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? [07:48] kapinter, ya i was searching for you yesterday [07:48] inbetween i also got busy with something [07:48] siji: thanks alot! :-) [07:49] I had a look into ur bootarg , seems like it's ok [07:49] from where you got the RootFS ? [07:49] have you build it your own by using rootstock? [07:50] persia,completed XBMC build successfully [07:50] it's working fine now on beagleboard with ubntu natty [07:53] siji: I just downloaded it and used the sudo sh -c 'zcat ./ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+.img.gz >/dev/' script [07:53] siji: from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/ [07:53] ok [07:54] kapinter, may be cose the resolution is not supported by ur monitor [07:55] siji: maybe, but when I switch to tty with CTRL+ALT+F2 it also disappears. What resolution should my monitor support? [07:58] kapinter, I suggest you to add kernel debug trace in your bootarg [07:58] which wil tell u wht exaclty the error is [07:58] ok, and how can I do it? [07:58] In your rootfs there will be a file named as boot.script [07:59] @/boot [07:59] add console=ttyO2,115200n8 there [07:59] then create new boot.scr from this script [07:59] ok [08:03] http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ [08:04] kapinter, it may help you [08:18] 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? [08:19] what CPU [08:20] chances are your cpu is not ARMv7 compatible, which is what ubuntu requires [08:21] "ARM Cortex A8" [08:31] How can I build a chroot environment image of 2GB size with ubuntu-minimal in it? [08:33] 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? [08:35] nicofs, so your image is ready ? [08:36] if not create a image as per this doc [08:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch [08:36] then mount this image into a folder [08:36] after that chroot to this folder [08:37] siji, so rootstock is some sort of debootstrap for arm...? [08:37] right [08:38] for generating image dnt forget to give the argument --notarball [08:45] siji, if i use this --notarball option, what filesystem will be inside the image? [08:47] 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? [08:48] nicofs, no it will generate file system too [08:48] And I think it's ext4 (not sure) [08:48] siji, i think i need ext2... [08:49] nicofs, the method which you mentioned hasnt worked for me [08:49] I failed to chroot to it [08:49] i'll just give it a go as it is and then use the long way round if it doesn't work... [08:50] ok [09:04] siji, rootstock aborted with errors... permission denied to change ownership of files... i'll run again and see when this occurs... [09:04] nicofs, ok === nicofs_ is now known as nicofs [09:42] siji, rootstock segfaults... but before i deal with any of that, i'll have lunch... [09:43] nicofs, i suggest to start the rootstock process, then move for lunch :) [09:43] :) [09:48] siji, that just segfaulted... if i run it again, it will do that again iguess... but anyway, why not... [09:48] nicofs, srry [09:49] i hasnt noticed ,"rootstock segfaults.." [10:01] siji: I just noticed I have this in dmesg [10:01] [ 28.173492] hdmi: Enter HDMI_W1_StopVideoFrame() [10:01] [ 28.173522] hdmi: *** Set PHY power mode to 0 [10:01] [ 28.202758] hdmi: 4000000 hdmi_wp_irqstatus [10:01] [ 28.231964] hdmi: 81 hdmi_core_sys_sys_stat [10:01] [ 28.290405] hdmi: disconnect, [10:01] [ 28.290405] hdmi: Irqenable 66000001 [10:01] [ 28.290405] hdmi: 0 hpd [10:01] [ 28.290405] hdmi: intr=00000000 [10:01] [ 28.320434] hdmi: 40000000 hdmi_wp_irqstatus [10:01] [ 28.349670] hdmi: 81 hdmi_core_sys_sys_stat [10:01] [ 28.408081] hdmi: Irqenable 66000001 [10:01] [ 28.408081] hdmi: 0 hpd [10:01] but otherwise nothing suspicious [10:03] how can i set more resolutionthan 640x480 on panda with DELL 3008 attached with hdmi? [10:06] kapinter, pls pastebin xorg.log [10:10] siji: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/652321/ [10:17] kapinter, doubt about "Virtual size is 1680x1050 (pitch 1680) [10:17] " [10:19] siji: good point! :-) I will check it! [10:21] kapinter, may you have to set the resolution manually [10:22] may maverick is predefined by some specific resolution which is not matching here [10:33] siji, depending on whether i choose xubuntu or ubuntu-minimal i get segfault or operation not permitted... [10:33] nicofs, what are the parameters in ur rootstock ? [10:34] nicofs, if you want minimal OS , then add lxde [10:34] siji, the ones from that guide you gave me... [10:34] ok [10:34] siji, i'd already be happy with cli only and do the rest from within the system... [10:35] cool [10:35] 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... [10:36] rootstock -f "name" -l "loginname" -p "password" -i "imagesize" -d "ubuntu_distroname" --seed lxde,openssh,wget [10:37] You can add more in seed with coma for adding more packages [10:37] siji, yes - did that... [10:37] ok [10:38] i always add wget and aptitude... [10:38] ok [10:39] if you are targeting omap board then add linux-omap [10:40] where do i add linux-omap? [10:50] siji: nice work! [10:59] siji: where can I edit monitor settings? can't find xorg.conf [11:00] kapinter, it wont be there [11:00] xorg is doing by it's own [11:00] so either you have to create xorg.conf file [11:00] or add this parameters in bootarg [11:05] siji, i successfully created an image... let's see if it works on the target device... [11:05] great [11:06] If qemu-arm-static binary is not there in ur host , it may give some errors [11:41] How to start X by using rs232 connection of beagleboard? [12:03] kunguz: What filesystem are you using? If the filesystem contains X and a desktop environment, it will usually start by itself [12:17] dmart: when I type sudo lxdm it starts but what should I type when I am using rs232 [12:18] kunguz, sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm start [12:39] siji, kunguz: Sounds plausible to me. If lxdm uses upstart though, you might neet to type "sudo start lxdm" instead [12:45] dmart, right [12:46] 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) [13:06] 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. [13:07] CaelThunderwing: Yes, for some tablets, but that particular one is ARMv5. You want to use Debian there. [13:09] 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. [13:10] how would i go installing it? for these tablets thers just the wmt_script and FirmwareInstall foldre you copy to SD. [13:10] CaelThunderwing: It really depends on the specific hardware and the content of the firmware for the device. [13:11] WM8650 [13:11] device: http://www.ekengroup.com/m009s/ [13:11] *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. [13:12] 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. [13:13] 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. [13:19] atleast when it begins the Flashing process for Android it does load a Form of linux. [13:20] Lots of Android devices seem to use fastboot, and expect images that would be generated with abootimg. [13:20] android itself is a form of linux :) [13:20] Dunno if that would work for your device, or the state of fastboot/abootimg in Debian today. [13:21] pretty much all android devices use the fastboot loader fot loading the kernel image at least [13:21] the only exception I have seen to that is the non tegra galaxy devices [13:21] 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] So, it's all "linux" in a very real sense. [13:22] :) my flashable image package works :D === prpplague is now known as prpplague^2 [13:23] Hurrah!
