[18:30] <sven_> hi everybody. i am having prouble with the audio on pandaboard a2 running ubuntu 10.10. could anyone help me?
[19:11] <sniperjo_> hello, anyone know if there are there any repos for mplayer ?
[19:37] <afm> anyone in here playing with the [h,j]acked up ubuntu on the motorola bionic?
[21:16] <sniperjo_> where is the best place to get mplayer?
[21:44] <infinity> sniperjo_: apt-get install mplayer?
[21:44] <infinity> sniperjo_: It's in universe.
[21:44] <sniperjo_> infinity: i couldn't find it
[21:45] <infinity> Do you have only main enabled?
[21:45] <infinity> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:45] <sniperjo_> yeah i do
[21:45] <infinity> If it only lists main, or main+restricted, add universe and multiverse to that, apt-get update, and enjoy.
[21:45] <sniperjo_> i ended up putting a debian source in to find it, but its not working great!
[21:46] <infinity> Yeah, don't do that. :/
[21:46] <infinity> Debian and Ubuntu are source-compatible, not binary-compatible (this is true on all arches, not just ARM).
[21:47] <sniperjo_> infinity: ah great thanks, i guess i should apt-get remove --purge them before i install it again
[21:48] <infinity> It probably pulled in a bunch of dependencies too.
[21:48] <infinity> You can learn about apt pinning to forcefully sidegrade out of the packages from Debian, or look at /var/log/dpkg.log to sort out what new stuff you got when, and remove those.
[21:49] <sniperjo_> but if i know what packages i installed after adding debian, i suppose i can just remove them with dependancies ?
[21:50] <infinity> If you know all the packages you installed, yes.
[21:50] <infinity> Hence my dpkg.log suggestion.
[21:50] <infinity> Though, if you still have a terminal with apt saying "will install X Y Z", that's the simplest. :P
[21:52] <sniperjo_> infinity: ok great, and just out of interest, I have angstrom on a device which i have chroot'ed with ubuntu, is there any way to automatically chroot into ubuntu and run something, (as I've been unsuccessful in installing ubuntu straight out )
[21:54] <infinity> Not sure precisely what you mean.
[21:56] <infinity> You can certainly do command line things like "chroot /chroot/ubuntu /path/to/command", but if those things require DISPLAY to be set, or sockets in the root filesystem, you need to do some clever tricks to futz with your environment or bind-mount files.
[21:57] <sniperjo_> infinity: yeah i have managed to do that, i was just wondering if i had to chroot and run stuff manually!
[22:03] <sniperjo_> infinity: still no mplayer,  I'm on deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports lucid main universe multiverse , gave me a notice about unmet dependancies
[22:12] <infinity> I'm using oneiric here, not lucid.  It's definitely installable in oneiric.  I'd be surprised if it wasn't in lucid, though.
[22:12] <infinity> Do you still have Debian sources in your list?
[22:13] <infinity> (It's also possible you still have Debian packages installed that are causing unresolvable conflicts)
[22:14] <sniperjo_> infinity: ive just just added the maverick to the sources and its there now
[22:20] <infinity> FWIW, I just debootstrapped a lucid chroot and mplayer installs fine.
[22:20] <infinity> So, yeah, you probably had some newer libraries or something (from Debian) that were causing a bit of a dependency issue.
[22:20] <infinity> But if maverick solves it for you, whatever. :P
[22:21] <sniperjo_> hmmmmmm
[22:21] <infinity> Anyhow, I'm off to do weekendy things.  Have fun fiddling.
[22:22] <sniperjo_> infinity: out of interest, what video driver do you use ?
[22:22] <sniperjo_> infinity: ok!
[22:22] <sniperjo_> infinity: thanks for your help
[23:02] <brandini> is there a mongodb build for ubuntu on armel?
[23:09] <infinity> Seems to be only on x86.  Though I'm not sure why.
[23:15] <brandini> :(
[23:15] <brandini> I did find one bug report just now though it seems to be resolved
[23:18] <brandini> https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-2883
[23:19] <brandini> this pandaboard makes a great webserver for webapps written in go :)
[23:19] <infinity> The mongodb server depends on both little-endianness and unaligned
[23:19] <infinity> memory access, which I believe means it can only work on i386 and
[23:19] <infinity> amd64, so yes, we're not portable beyond those.  (It has compiled for
[23:19] <infinity> me in the past on powerpc, but it won't run there.)
[23:20] <infinity> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570076
[23:20] <ubot2> Debian bug 570076 in mongodb "mongodb - Arbitrary architecture specification" [Serious,Fixed]
[23:20] <brandini> ok
[23:20] <brandini> I'll have to use a real live database :)
[23:20] <infinity> Or sqlite.
[23:21] <infinity> Or BDB.
[23:21] <infinity> Or any number of file-based approaches that aren't an annoyingly large RDBMS.
