Mitnicki have fix the sound problems06:07
MrCuriousnice!06:08
Mitnick^_^06:18
persiaMitnick: Which sound problem, specifically?  For which platform?  Is there a bug?07:10
Mitnickpersia: i installed prebuilt marverick,then i run sudo apt-get upgrade , when i test alsa ,but only output noise07:50
Mitnickpersia: my board is pandaboard A207:51
Spider-Porktry with 11.0407:59
Spider-Porkjust to get your board working07:59
Spider-Porkstore to a file your alsaconfig and restore it on your maverick07:59
Mitnicki had fixed up it by using amixer cset to change alsa configure08:03

sijihow to to autologin to ubuntu08:08
sijiI have modified /etc/init/tty1.conf  with exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin siji tty108:09
sijibut it's not happening08:09
sijihelp..pls...08:25
sijipersia, u there ?08:39
Mitnickrsalveti: yesterday's bug is still alive, there are still two depends need to fix09:23
persiaMitnick: sorry, I got caught in some meetings.12:35
persiasiji: Yes.12:35
sijipersia, ha..12:37
sijistrugling to make xbmc autostart12:37
persiaWhen do you want it to auto start?12:38
sijiThe OS have to start with xbmc12:38
persiaOK.  Set up some user, st that user to autologin.  Set XMBC to autostart for that user.12:39
sijithat I did12:39
sijiautoloing12:39
sijilogin12:40
persiaWIth /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop?12:40
sijino12:40
sijii have modified /etc/init/tty1.conf for autologin12:40
persiaI would have done something with the display manager configuration, but that might work.12:41
sijiso autologin is happening12:41
sijiok12:41
sijipersia, instead of lxde can i use only openbox12:41
siji?12:41
persiaRight, so when an XDG-compliant session starts, it will run the stuff from /etc/xdg/autostart/12:41
sijiok12:42
persiaSo just alunch the session in which you want to host XMBC, and it will launch XMBC if you add the appropriate .desktop file there.12:42
sijiok. let me give a try12:42
persiaYou could use openbox instead of lxde, but I don't believe openbox to be XDG compliant, so you might end up needing to hardcode more things.12:43
sijipersia, ok12:43
sijicant I make openbox as default display manager ?12:44
sijiby modifying /etc/X11/default-displaymanager12:44
sijiWhich hasnt worked for me12:44
persiaI don't know the precise mechanism for making openbox the default dm12:45
sijiok12:46
persiaI suspect that it'S related to the use of x-session-manager and x-window-manager, but I can't remember precisely how those work.12:46
persiaIF openbox is the only provider of x-session-manager installed on the system, it *ought* be alunched by default without any extra effort.12:46
persiaOf course, that depends on having the autologin be done by the x-display-manager : I'm not sure how it might interact with hardcoding in an upstart script.12:47
sijiok12:47
sijihttp://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=3847312:57
sijiI was refering this documentation12:57
sijiBut hasnt worked for me12:57
persiaI'm not sure.  From a brief look, I wouldn't do it that way at all.13:04
sijiok13:06
topi1can a userspace program also install an interrupt handler or must it be in the kernel?13:15
=== prpplague is now known as prpplague^2
sijipersia, i have tried one sample apps in autostart with lxde and it's working14:17
sijinot able to start xbmc cose its borken ;(14:17
sijiI hope the same way xbmc also can start14:18
sijipersia, am trying to run xbmc on top of openbox14:28
sijiand modified defaultdisplay manager file with openbox-session14:28
sijibut it's only  login to the console mode14:29
sijiwhy it's like that14:29
persiaI suspect it'S because you've set autologin in the upstart script, rather than launching an x-display-manager, and having that do the autologin.15:05
rOxxhello, i have installed last year the ubuntu 10.10 netbook version on my beagleboard xm with kernel 2.6.35-23-omap, now i want to build a new kernel, but i dont find the sources for this version. can someone help me ?15:56
persiarOxx: How badly do you want that specific version?  Source is fairly easy to find for 2.6.35-22.33 (which should have been used for release), and 2.6.35-30.54 (which is the recommended kernel for 10.10 currently).16:01
persiaIf you *really* want -23, there appaer to be three revisions:16:02

fisukhiyall.. umm, could somebody point out how to play 1080p with hw accel (headless natty on pandaboard), since I can't find anything about it on the wiki... i've installed all the omap4 extras, but don't really know what to do now16:04
topfs2fisuk, gstreamer should be acceled after that16:06
rOxxpersia: this versions are not patched for omap systems?16:06
persiarOxx: I don't think there are many patches needed for the beagleboard, and I suspect those versions have them.16:07
persiaIf you especially want the older version, you may need the matching linux-meta package (start from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+publishinghistory)16:07
persiaBut I'll strongly recommend you upgrade to 2.6.35-30.54 if you're running 10.1016:08
GrueMasterrOxx: The Maverick omap kernel was still separate from the ubuntu main kernel.  It wasn't until Natty that it was integrated into the main ubuntu kernel tree.16:11
fisuktopfs2: so just outputting to the framebuffer will do the job?16:11
persiaGrueMaster: Thanks for the correction.16:11
* persia digs up different urls16:11
rOxxok i will try it with a newer version. i want to build the kernel on my desktop computer, because i think on the beagleboard it is very slow. the procedure of the kernel cross compiling is to build the kernel with the modules on my desktop, copy the source folder back to the beagleboard, then install the modules and update-initramfs, copy the uImage to the fat partition and boote from sd card again. is this correkt ?16:13
topfs2fisuk, output what? if its a file it needs to be decoded, that you use gstraemer for16:13
GrueMasterrOxx: Sounds right.16:14
rOxxGrueMaster: is this correct, that i need for the maverick version a special omap kernel version and cant use the main ubuntu kernel for beagleboard xm?16:14
fisuktopfs2: i mean the device where to output the video after gstreamer decodes it. speaking in gstreamer terms, the output sink. fbdevsink.16:14
GrueMasteryes.  The beagleXM support was added very late in Maverick, but after it landed, it went into the upstream kernel and the kernel team was able to just use one tree after that.16:15
topfs2ought to work I guess16:15
GrueMasterrOxx: Unless you are really attached to Maverick, I would recommend using natty as a starting point.16:16
rOxxGrueMaster: you suggest to update to the natty version and use the main ubuntu kernel version then ?16:19
GrueMasterYes.16:19
GrueMasterAlthough unless you have a lot of stuff installed, it would be much quicker to reinstall than to upgrade, especially if you are only on SD.16:20
rOxxyes i have installed a lot of stuff and want to update, do you know how long it take to compile a new kernel on the beagleboard?16:22
GrueMasterLet me look at the buildd output logs.  Somewhere around 2-3 hours I think.16:23
rOxxok, i thought it take much more time.16:24
GrueMasterEr, more like 8-9 hours.16:24
rOxxi want to use the old .config file for the new kernel. what is the best way to do this ?16:25
persiamake oldconfig16:26
rOxxyes on the beagleboard its right, but on my desktop ?16:26
rOxxcopy the .config via ssh from the beagleboard to my desktop. but in which folder ?16:27
persiaWouldn't you put it in the folder where your cross-source resides?16:28
* persia doesn't cross-compile, and isn't quite sure.16:28
rOxxwith oldconfig it use the .config file from the kernel folder and not from the boot folder ?16:30
GrueMasterI would think the build process for using an old config would be the same for all arches regardless of cross-compiling.16:31
* GrueMaster hasn't compiled a kernel in a while.16:31
GrueMasterLast time I did it, I just copied the config to <kernel-src>/.config and ran make oldconfig.16:32
GrueMasterbtw.  The Natty release kernel took 20.5 hours to build on arm HW.16:33
GrueMasterhttps://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ppa/+build/259815116:33
rOxxok thx i will try it. but i have another question. i^m using a hama sd card class6 since 3/4 year and now it is very slow in the write speed. now i want to copy the hama sd card with dd to a new one. is this correct that i only must edit the UUID number in the bootloader to boot the linux system from a new card ?16:37
GrueMasterIf you are using a PC to do the copying and have two SD readers, use gparted.  It has a copy partition feature that will copy the uuid and everything.16:53
GrueMasterYou can also use it to copy the rootfs to a usb drive (which will greatly speed up performance).  Just make sure you either reformat the SD root partition or at least change the uuid.16:54
rOxxok, with a usb drive, which changed are needed for boot from it ?16:58
GrueMasterrOxx: If you use gparted to copy the rootfs partition, none, other than changing the uuid of the SD root partition.17:04
rOxxok for sd cards i understand it and for a usb drive the same procedureß17:05
rOxx?17:05
zulso how do i get oneiric on to a pandaboard?17:07
GrueMastergparted will make a copy-exact of the selected partition, including the uuid.  Once the copy is done, both the SD and USB drive will share a uuid.  Since the fstab and boot.scr are set to mount root via uuid, if you change the SD uuid, it will go to the usb drive.  The kernel will still load from SD.17:07
GrueMasterzul, there are many ways.  What is your preference?17:07
zulthe easiest and fastest17:08
GrueMasterPreinstalled server, preinstalled desktop, or netinstall.17:08
zulpreinstalled server17:08
GrueMasterEasiest/fastest is preinstalled server.17:08
GrueMasterThe images are on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com17:08
zulk thanks17:09
GrueMasterIf you want alpha 2, then go to /releases/oneiric/alpha-2.  Latest is in /ubuntu-server/daily-preinstalled.17:10
GrueMasterThe latest uses the new 3.0 kernel.  :D17:10
