Mitnickwhen i run apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras failed , because of depending on  gstreamer-plugins-bad in repo02:11
Mitnickany help?02:11
rsalvetiMitnick: maverick?02:38
Mitnickrsalveti:yes02:54
rsalvetiMitnick: can you paste what is the error you're getting while trying to apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras?02:55
Mitnickpls wait for a while02:56
Mitnickmy sdcard is so slow and make my ubuntu-are slow as a snail03:06
Nekothat's not the sd card03:06
Nekopandaboard sdhc seems to be highly inefficient03:07
Mitnickhttp://pastebin.com/5bej3zbQ03:08
Mitnickany optimize?03:09
Nekono, not really.. I have some of the benchmarked fastest cards on the planet here and they run very slow on panda.. on efikamx and pc (with a pcie hotplug mmc controller from ricoh which is very common) they are usable03:09
NekoI don't mean "awesome", but.. if my 800Mhz A8 can install 80 packages in 40 minutes on an SD, then pandaboard taking 6 hours is just ridiculous on the same card03:10
Mitnickyep03:11
Mitnickvery very slowly03:11
Mitnicki have the same situation as you03:12
Mitnick<rsalveti>: i have paste the error on http://pastebin.com/5bej3zbQ , but now i have fix up it manually03:13
rsalvetiMitnick: what did you do?03:13
Mitnickdownload the right package and use dpkg -i to install03:14
rsalvetiMitnick: ok, seems we just need to update the meta-package03:14
rsalvetilet me try that03:14
Mitnickyep, wrong depends on server03:15
rsalvetiMitnick: pushed the fix, should be in place in about 10 mins03:18
Mitnickthank you very much03:19

Spider-Porkis there any guide to get ubuntu natty on gumstix? Thank you08:16
Mitnickmy headset no work08:18
Mitnicki try to amixer patch , but still no work08:19
Mitnickany help ?08:21
Spider-Porkthe board is?08:22

Spider-Porkand ubuntu headless is?08:26
Spider-Pork(version)08:26

Mitnickhttp://pastebin.com/rymKXhAq08:32
Mitnickamixer output08:32
Spider-Porkyou have problems with input or output?08:34
Mitnickoutput just noise08:35
Spider-Porktry to install 11.04, it should works out of the box, then extract sound settings with these commands http://www.bstegmaier.de/wiki/index.php/Save_and_restore_alsa_volume_settings08:42
Spider-Porksave the file, copy it to your 10.10 and you will get sound08:42
Spider-Porkanother way is to play a song and while is playing set alsamixer params08:42
Spider-Porkor better install netbook 11.04, get output and input correctly working, store alsamixer settings and restore the file in your 10.1008:48
MitnickSpider-Pork:thx08:57
Spider-Porkif you want to know exactly the differences in alsamixer between 10.10 and netbook 11.04 you can store alsamixer from them and then do a diff08:58
Mitnickyep08:58
Spider-Porki think in this way you'll get exactly the right parameters08:59
Spider-Porkis in my todo list, i'm really busy at the moment08:59

SotaSystemsYo20:43
SotaSystemsI got a PoV Mobii 7 Gen II, does anybody know that device?20:44
SotaSystemsIt's got an ARM9 Rockchip cPU20:44
SotaSystemsI'm trying to put Ubuntu on it20:44
SotaSystemscame here from the ubuntuwiki20:44
phhSotaSystems: you'll need ubuntu <9.04 at least20:55
SotaSystemscan you help me with that?20:55
SotaSystemsas I never did anything ARM related, I'm pretty new to that stuff you know20:55
SotaSystemsI guess I'll need to take a netbook image20:56
phherr that won't be that easy20:56
SotaSystemshm..20:56
phhit needs the kernel to be ported to this generation of rockchip20:57
phhi doubt that has been done20:57
SotaSystemsoh, so it's actualy not possible?20:57
phhoh everything is possible20:57
phhbut you'll need good skills.20:57
SotaSystemswhat kind of skills? ^20:58
infinityWell, it runs Android, so re-using an Android kernel isn't the end of the world.20:58
SotaSystemsit's a Rockchip 281820:58
SotaSystemssure, as it runs linux already20:58
SotaSystems2.6.25 to be more precise20:58
GrueMasterActually, Ubuntu doesn't support ARM9.  We only currently support Arm Cortex-A8/9 (Armv7).  You might have more luck with Debian.20:59
phhinfinity: we're speaking of an old rockchip20:59
phhnot the last generation20:59
phhSotaSystems: well i don't know rockchip at all, but usually kernels are really device dependant20:59
SotaSystemsGrueMaster but in Debian I could just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ^^20:59
phhnot just chipset dependant20:59
infinityphh: No, I mean he doesn't need to do any kernel porting.  But yes, the part where it's ARMv5 is problematic, and probably screams "use Debian".21:00
SotaSystemsI see..21:00
phhinfinity: i mean there is no ""official"" (ie by rockchip) android on those chips21:00
infinityphh: The tablet he has is running Android.21:00
phh(i don't know if there is any android at all acutally)21:00
SotaSystemsYep21:00
phhuh ?21:00
infinityphh: He can just yank the kernel image out of it. :P21:00
phhwtf.21:00
SotaSystemsAndroid 2.121:00
phhinfinity: yeah definitely21:00
phhbut hum21:00
GrueMasterThere has been a flood of those tablets on Amazon recently.21:01
phhok google tells me it's an arm1121:01
GrueMasterSub $100 (US).21:01
SotaSystemsI got the tablet for free from my work xD21:01
SotaSystemsso for a little boredom I thought let's do something with it21:01
SotaSystemsit's not phh21:01
infinityphh: Google told me the 2818 is ARM9.21:01
GrueMasterFree is definitely a good price.  :D21:01
SotaSystemsthe package even says it's an ARM921:01
SotaSystemsan ARM9 Rockchip 2818 600 MhZ21:02
SotaSystemstrue21:02
phhok they haven't evolved as fast as i thought21:03
GrueMasterFor arm tablets that may run Ubuntu, you need one with a stronger processor though.  I personally have a Nook Color (OMAP 3629).  Running stock Android, it is 600mhz, but hackers have clocked them up to 1.2Ghz before they start to overheat.21:04
SotaSystemsI think they did, but my tablet is a little older (I think it's been manufactured in 2010 or beginning of 2011.. idk but I got it last week)21:04
SotaSystemsI think that'll drain the battery very fast and it's not really good for the cpu =x21:05
GrueMasterUsing the android kernel, you should be able to cobble together an image based on debian though.21:05
infinityProbably, but it's fun.  And what else are you going to do with obsolete toys? :)21:05
SotaSystemsAnd thanks for all that info21:05
SotaSystemsGrueMaster I also have the firmware already dumped on my desktop21:06
SotaSystemssomewhere I read that you can modify it.. but the link was dead =x21:06
GrueMasterDead links have been the bane of my work lately.  :(21:07
SotaSystemsoh well... it's 201121:07
GrueMasterTry the wayback machine though.  It may have the link you are loocking for.21:07
GrueMaster*looking21:07
SotaSystemswait..21:08
SotaSystemsif I mash debian into the android firmware..21:08
SotaSystemsit's possible to do an ubuntu netinstall, isn't it?21:09
SotaSystemswell.. basicaly I could also take Lubuntu21:09
infinitySotaSystems: The problem is that any recent Ubuntu just plain won't work on your device.21:09
infinitySotaSystems: We target a newer instruction set than Debian does.21:09
GrueMasterAll of the ubuntu pool is compiled for newer processors.  Highly probable that nothing would work.21:10
SotaSystemsAh. I see21:10
SotaSystemsbut older distributions could work then?21:10
GrueMasterKind of like trying to run the latest x86-64 code on a P5.21:10
SotaSystemswell.. then a Debian is fine, too21:11
GrueMasterWell, theoretically, Ubuntu 9.04 would work (provided a working kernel of course), but it is unsupported.  No updates.21:11
SotaSystemsyeah.. it's outdated21:11
infinitySotaSystems: You'll generally be happier (IMO) with new Debian rather than old Ubuntu.  Lots has changed since we dropped ARMv5 support.21:11
SotaSystemsYes21:11
GrueMasterAt least debian would give you the current software.21:12
SotaSystemsThanks everyone for all your support!21:12
SotaSystemslet's try debian then.21:12
