[01:50] <Mitnick> marverick
[06:07] <Mitnick> i have fix the sound problems
[06:08] <MrCurious> nice!
[06:18] <Mitnick> ^_^
[07:10] <persia> Mitnick: Which sound problem, specifically?  For which platform?  Is there a bug?
[07:50] <Mitnick> persia: i installed prebuilt marverick,then i run sudo apt-get upgrade , when i test alsa ,but only output noise
[07:51] <Mitnick> persia: my board is pandaboard A2
[07:59] <Spider-Pork> try with 11.04
[07:59] <Spider-Pork> just to get your board working
[07:59] <Spider-Pork> store to a file your alsaconfig and restore it on your maverick
[08:03] <Mitnick> i had fixed up it by using amixer cset to change alsa configure
[08:08] <siji> hi all
[08:08] <siji> how to to autologin to ubuntu
[08:09] <siji> I have modified /etc/init/tty1.conf  with exec /sbin/mingetty --autologin siji tty1
[08:09] <siji> but it's not happening
[08:25] <siji> help..pls...
[08:39] <siji> persia, u there ?
[09:23] <Mitnick> rsalveti: yesterday's bug is still alive, there are still two depends need to fix
[12:35] <persia> Mitnick: sorry, I got caught in some meetings.
[12:35] <persia> siji: Yes.
[12:37] <siji> persia, ha..
[12:37] <siji> strugling to make xbmc autostart
[12:38] <persia> When do you want it to auto start?
[12:38] <siji> The OS have to start with xbmc
[12:39] <persia> OK.  Set up some user, st that user to autologin.  Set XMBC to autostart for that user.
[12:39] <siji> that I did
[12:39] <siji> autoloing
[12:40] <siji> login
[12:40] <persia> WIth /etc/xdg/autostart/foo.desktop?
[12:40] <siji> no
[12:40] <siji> i have modified /etc/init/tty1.conf for autologin
[12:41] <persia> I would have done something with the display manager configuration, but that might work.
[12:41] <siji> so autologin is happening
[12:41] <siji> ok
[12:41] <siji> persia, instead of lxde can i use only openbox
[12:41] <siji> ?
[12:41] <persia> Right, so when an XDG-compliant session starts, it will run the stuff from /etc/xdg/autostart/
[12:42] <siji> ok
[12:42] <persia> So 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] <siji> ok. let me give a try
[12:43] <persia> You 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] <siji> persia, ok
[12:44] <siji> cant I make openbox as default display manager ?
[12:44] <siji> by modifying /etc/X11/default-displaymanager
[12:44] <siji> Which hasnt worked for me
[12:45] <persia> I don't know the precise mechanism for making openbox the default dm
[12:46] <siji> ok
[12:46] <persia> I 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] <persia> IF openbox is the only provider of x-session-manager installed on the system, it *ought* be alunched by default without any extra effort.
[12:47] <persia> Of 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] <siji> ok
[12:57] <siji> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=38473
[12:57] <siji> I was refering this documentation
[12:57] <siji> But hasnt worked for me
[13:04] <persia> I'm not sure.  From a brief look, I wouldn't do it that way at all.
[13:06] <siji> ok
[13:15] <topi1> can a userspace program also install an interrupt handler or must it be in the kernel?
[14:17] <siji> persia, i have tried one sample apps in autostart with lxde and it's working
[14:17] <siji> not able to start xbmc cose its borken ;(
[14:18] <siji> I hope the same way xbmc also can start
[14:28] <siji> persia, am trying to run xbmc on top of openbox
[14:28] <siji> and modified defaultdisplay manager file with openbox-session
[14:29] <siji> but it's only  login to the console mode
[14:29] <siji> why it's like that
[15:05] <persia> I 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.
[15:56] <rOxx> hello, 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 ?
[16:01] <persia> rOxx: 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).
[16:02] <persia> If you *really* want -23, there appaer to be three revisions:
[16:03] <persia> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/linux/2.6.35-23.39
[16:03] <persia> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/linux/2.6.35-23.40
[16:03] <persia> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/linux/2.6.35-23.41
[16:04] <fisuk> hiyall.. 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 now
[16:06] <topfs2> fisuk, gstreamer should be acceled after that
[16:06] <rOxx> persia: this versions are not patched for omap systems?
[16:07] <persia> rOxx: I don't think there are many patches needed for the beagleboard, and I suspect those versions have them.
[16:07] <persia> If you especially want the older version, you may need the matching linux-meta package (start from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+publishinghistory)
[16:08] <persia> But I'll strongly recommend you upgrade to 2.6.35-30.54 if you're running 10.10
[16:11] <GrueMaster> rOxx: 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] <fisuk> topfs2: so just outputting to the framebuffer will do the job?
[16:11] <persia> GrueMaster: Thanks for the correction.
[16:11]  * persia digs up different urls
[16:13] <rOxx> ok 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] <topfs2> fisuk, output what? if its a file it needs to be decoded, that you use gstraemer for
[16:14] <GrueMaster> rOxx: Sounds right.
[16:14] <rOxx> GrueMaster: 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] <fisuk> topfs2: i mean the device where to output the video after gstreamer decodes it. speaking in gstreamer terms, the output sink. fbdevsink.
[16:15] <GrueMaster> yes.  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] <topfs2> ought to work I guess
[16:16] <GrueMaster> rOxx: Unless you are really attached to Maverick, I would recommend using natty as a starting point.
[16:19] <rOxx> GrueMaster: you suggest to update to the natty version and use the main ubuntu kernel version then ?
[16:19] <GrueMaster> Yes.
[16:20] <GrueMaster> Although 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.
[16:22] <rOxx> yes 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?
[16:23] <GrueMaster> Let me look at the buildd output logs.  Somewhere around 2-3 hours I think.
[16:24] <rOxx> ok, i thought it take much more time.
[16:24] <GrueMaster> Er, more like 8-9 hours.
[16:25] <rOxx> i want to use the old .config file for the new kernel. what is the best way to do this ?
[16:26] <persia> make oldconfig
[16:26] <rOxx> yes on the beagleboard its right, but on my desktop ?
[16:27] <rOxx> copy the .config via ssh from the beagleboard to my desktop. but in which folder ?
[16:28] <persia> Wouldn't you put it in the folder where your cross-source resides?
[16:28]  * persia doesn't cross-compile, and isn't quite sure.
[16:30] <rOxx> with oldconfig it use the .config file from the kernel folder and not from the boot folder ?
[16:31] <GrueMaster> I 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.
[16:32] <GrueMaster> Last time I did it, I just copied the config to <kernel-src>/.config and ran make oldconfig.
[16:33] <GrueMaster> btw.  The Natty release kernel took 20.5 hours to build on arm HW.

[16:37] <rOxx> ok 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 ?
[16:53] <GrueMaster> If 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.
[16:54] <GrueMaster> You 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.
[16:58] <rOxx> ok, with a usb drive, which changed are needed for boot from it ?
[17:04] <GrueMaster> rOxx: If you use gparted to copy the rootfs partition, none, other than changing the uuid of the SD root partition.
[17:05] <rOxx> ok for sd cards i understand it and for a usb drive the same procedureß
[17:05] <rOxx> ?
[17:07] <zul> so how do i get oneiric on to a pandaboard?
[17:07] <GrueMaster> gparted 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] <GrueMaster> zul, there are many ways.  What is your preference?
[17:08] <zul> the easiest and fastest
[17:08] <GrueMaster> Preinstalled server, preinstalled desktop, or netinstall.
[17:08] <zul> preinstalled server
[17:08] <GrueMaster> Easiest/fastest is preinstalled server.
[17:08] <GrueMaster> The images are on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
[17:09] <zul> k thanks
[17:10] <GrueMaster> If you want alpha 2, then go to /releases/oneiric/alpha-2.  Latest is in /ubuntu-server/daily-preinstalled.
[17:10] <GrueMaster> The latest uses the new 3.0 kernel.  :D
