[11:48] <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
[11:49] <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
[18:26] <bkerensa> GrueMaster: Hi
[18:26] <bkerensa> :D
[19:14] <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?
[19:15] <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.
[19:16] <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
[19:17] <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.
[19:18] <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.
[19:19] <jo-erlend> I suppose upgrading from a3 to b1 will take quite some time on an OMAP3?
[19:20] <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.. :)
[19:21] <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 :)
[19:22] <jo-erlend> GrueMaster, I'll let you know then :)
[19:22] <GrueMaster> Good luck.
[19:22] <jo-erlend> thanks. :)
[20:16] <jo-erlend> now I remember. The IGEPv2 doesn't boot from boot.scr. I think it uses some kind of ini-file.
[20:19] <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.
[20:20] <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
[20:23] <jo-erlend> infinity, it's only for 10.10 though.
[20:24] <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.
[20:28] <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?
[20:33] <infinity> jo-erlend: Is it using omapfb.mode=dvi:?? notation?
[20:34] <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?
[20:35] <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.
[20:36] <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.
[20:37] <jo-erlend> oh, ok.
[20:38]  * infinity wanders off to have a Sunday.
[20:38] <infinity> Good luck. :)
[20:40] <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 :)
[20:42] <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.
[20:46] <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. :)
