| dcordes | rsalveti: I just found your lp bug with the fix for thumb2 crash on webm content | 11:48 |
|---|---|---|
| dcordes | rsalveti: been looking for a solution to this for a while | 11:48 |
| dcordes | rsalveti: I am wondering if we can make it available in the natty updates | 11:48 |
| dcordes | rsalveti: I know many ppl who run natty on ARM tablets etc. and it would be nice to get webm on all these images floating around on the net | 11:49 |

| bkerensa | GrueMaster: Hi | 18:26 |
| bkerensa | :D | 18:26 |
| jo-erlend | I'm downloading 10.04 Netbook live image since it says it's for OMAP3 devices and I have an IGEPv2 OMAP3. But how do I use it? Can I just dd it onto the memory card and boot? | 19:14 |
| jo-erlend | and if so... Is there an image for oneiric as well? | 19:15 |
| GrueMaster | jo-erlend: You would be better off with the 11.04 image as the omap3 kernel there covers more hw. The 10.04 was a tech preview only for Beagle. | 19:15 |
| jo-erlend | oh, ok... I think I remember that, now that you mention it. | 19:16 |
| jo-erlend | I'd really prefer oneiric, if there is an image for it? | 19:16 |
| GrueMaster | And yes, dd is how you write to an SD. Instructions are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM | 19:16 |
| jo-erlend | I can't find an image for 11.04 either. That's why I started to download 10.04. | 19:17 |
| GrueMaster | The last released image for Oneiric was Alpha 3, but Beta 1 release testing begins tomorrow with release on Thursday. | 19:17 |
| jo-erlend | there's no daily image? | 19:18 |
| GrueMaster | It is now under http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled. It more closely matches the x86 desktop, so we dropped the netbook name. | 19:18 |
| jo-erlend | ah. | 19:18 |
| jo-erlend | I suppose upgrading from a3 to b1 will take quite some time on an OMAP3? | 19:19 |
| GrueMaster | Possibly. But if you grab the daily-preinstalled/current, it won't be as bad. | 19:20 |
| jo-erlend | where can I find that? | 19:20 |
| jo-erlend | ah.. :) | 19:20 |
| jo-erlend | I found it. :) | 19:21 |
| jo-erlend | will I still have to compile a kernel, etc, or should it just work? | 19:21 |
| GrueMaster | I have to run. It's my day off, so massive yard work is commencing. Need to get a load of gravel before they close. | 19:21 |
| GrueMaster | I don't know how much support for iegp2 you can expect. | 19:21 |
| jo-erlend | oh... Have fun and thanks for helping :) | 19:21 |
| jo-erlend | GrueMaster, I'll let you know then :) | 19:22 |
| GrueMaster | Good luck. | 19:22 |
| jo-erlend | thanks. :) | 19:22 |
| jo-erlend | now I remember. The IGEPv2 doesn't boot from boot.scr. I think it uses some kind of ini-file. | 20:16 |
| infinity | jo-erlend: Assuming our uBoot and xLoader work on igepv2, you might just be able to cp boot.scr boot.ini and be done. | 20:19 |
| infinity | jo-erlend: If not, you might been the uBoot and xLoader from here, and have to re-create the boot image: http://labs.igep.es/index.php/How_to_get_the_Ubuntu_distribution | 20:20 |
| jo-erlend | infinity, it's only for 10.10 though. | 20:23 |
| infinity | Those old bootloaders would still work with our newer kernels. But, there's a fair chance our current bootloaders might Just Work anyway, if you rename boot.scr. | 20:24 |
| infinity | I can't say for sure, since I've never had a chance to play with an IGEPv2 board. | 20:24 |

| jo-erlend | infinity, I had a brief look at the boot.scr file from the Ubuntu image. It seems to be configured for a resolution my monitor doesn't support. How do I change it? | 20:28 |
| infinity | jo-erlend: Is it using omapfb.mode=dvi:?? notation? | 20:33 |
| jo-erlend | infinity, I think so. I don't really know what that means. | 20:34 |
| jo-erlend | that's what it looks like in the boot.scr file. | 20:34 |
| infinity | If so, something like omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768MR-16@60 might work on your older monitor. | 20:34 |
| jo-erlend | yes, but how do I make that into a valid boot.ini file? | 20:34 |
| infinity | Just copy boot.scr to boot.ini, and edit the command line. | 20:35 |
| jo-erlend | what command line? I have no screen. | 20:35 |
| infinity | boot.ini is the same format as boot.scr, just a different filename to be difficult. :P | 20:35 |
| infinity | Err. I mean, edit the kernel command line in boot.ini. | 20:35 |
| infinity | Surely, you're doing this on another computer. | 20:35 |
| infinity | One with a monitor. :) | 20:36 |
| jo-erlend | yes. But is it just a text file? | 20:36 |
| infinity | Yes. | 20:36 |
| infinity | Well, ish. Some implementations have a whacky hex header. | 20:36 |
| infinity | But if you edit in something like vim, it will happily just leave that alone. | 20:36 |
| jo-erlend | it can't be opened in gedit. | 20:36 |
| jo-erlend | oh, ok. | 20:37 |
| * infinity wanders off to have a Sunday. | 20:38 | |
| infinity | Good luck. :) | 20:38 |
| jo-erlend | :) | 20:40 |
| jo-erlend | doesn't seem to want to boot. | 20:40 |
| jo-erlend | perhaps I'll just have to use 10.10 and then upgrade and upgrade and upgrade :) | 20:40 |
| jo-erlend | I don't understand why they don't just make an image and make it available. | 20:42 |
| jo-erlend | the last time I wanted to boot that thing, I spent a week getting it to start. | 20:42 |
| jo-erlend | is it normal for these kinds of ARM boards to require so much labor in order to boot? | 20:46 |
| jo-erlend | heh.. I mean.. Installing Ubuntu on my laptop takes about 15 minutes. Installing it on ARM takes about 15 days. :) | 20:46 |
