| ndec | ogra_: what do you think of bug 872178 | 12:45 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 872178 in jasper-initramfs "ROOTDEV export not working" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/872178 | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | ndec, hmm, it is used in all other installs | 12:54 |
| ogra_ | do you avoid _growroot with some hack or so ? | 12:54 |
| ndec | ogra_: i asked XavB to join, as he is the one that knows this stuff.. | 12:57 |
| ndec | XavB: (2:54:37 PM) ogra_: do you avoid _growroot with some hack or so ? | 12:57 |
| ogra_ | XavB, it works on all other installs, so there must be something special in the way you use jasper | 12:57 |
| XavB | ogra_: not sure if other are using mmcblk1 | 12:58 |
| XavB | ogra_: as soon as you ar eusing mmcblk0, no issue, because a default value is set. | 12:59 |
| ogra_ | hmm, i thought we added a way to override that... | 12:59 |
| ogra_ | let me take a look at the code, one sec | 12:59 |
| XavB | if you add trace to jasper_setup, you will see that the export form ROOTDEV is not seen into jasper_setup | 12:59 |
| ogra_ | did you try setting root= on the cmdline ? | 13:00 |
| XavB | ogra_: in fact I reviewed the code and it seems OK, the only problem is the export from _growroot that is not visible into _setup | 13:00 |
| XavB | ogra_: yes I have root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 | 13:01 |
| ogra_ | well, export exports to the full environment, you should see it unless its actually unset | 13:01 |
| ogra_ | hmm, that should actually pick up the right bits then | 13:01 |
| XavB | The _growroot part is working fine, ROOTDEV is computed correctly, the resize of mmcblk1p2 is OK | 13:01 |
| XavB | but then the UUID is computed on mmcblk0p2 and after the reboot we are using FS on eMMC not SD | 13:02 |
| ogra_ | well, i dont see why the export wouldnt work, it is the same shell | 13:02 |
| XavB | ogra_: adding traces demonstrate that the export don't work, I promise... | 13:03 |
| ogra_ | infinity, any idea why an export from one initrd script to another wouldnt work ? even though they should be inside the same environment | 13:04 |
| janimo | ogra_, so mx5 install actually works if I do not tick automatic login | 13:08 |
| janimo | just takes very very long | 13:08 |
| janimo | the packages are removed, adn you get into lightdm | 13:08 |
| janimo | but only 15 minutes after the ubiquity GUI disappears | 13:08 |
| janimo | ogra_, re the ROOTDEV bug, I saw jasper setup script (?) set rootdev explicitly in case it is not set in growroot | 13:09 |
| janimo | which seemed one of the weird places in the code as growroot has exports | 13:10 |
| janimo | but they may be run from different shell sessions so the exports do not carry over | 13:10 |
| brandini | janimo: how do you install lightdm | 13:10 |
| janimo | brandini, it is on the image by default | 13:10 |
| brandini | how did you enable it? | 13:11 |
| brandini | start lightdm? | 13:11 |
| ndec | brandini: it's supposed to be enabled by default. | 13:11 |
| ndec | what's the problem? | 13:11 |
| ogra_ | janimo, thats just a fallback, growroot should actually have exported the right thing | 13:11 |
| brandini | I don't have any X running on my machine | 13:11 |
| janimo | ogra_, well the fact there is a fallback shows the export does not always work | 13:12 |
| brandini | I plug in my TV to the hdmi out and all I see is the login prompt | 13:12 |
| ndec | brandini: is it intentional? | 13:12 |
| janimo | so we should either see why it does not work, or just set it anew in setup | 13:12 |
| brandini | ndec: I'm running 11.10 server so I dunno | 13:12 |
| janimo | of course not for O :) | 13:12 |
| ndec | brandini: what do you call login prompt with no X? | 13:12 |
| ndec | ah... on the console | 13:12 |
| brandini | yup | 13:13 |
| ogra_ | janimo, i just added it to make sure we succeed in any case even if the user adds soemthing weirtd to root= | 13:13 |
| ndec | i didn't use the server image. is ubuntu-desktop package available? | 13:13 |
| * brandini looks | 13:14 | |
| brandini | ndec: you're right :) | 13:15 |
| brandini | 565MB | 13:15 |
| ogra_ | well, better use the task than the metapackage | 13:15 |
| ogra_ | apt-get install ubuntu-desktp^ | 13:15 |
| ogra_ | *desktop | 13:15 |
| brandini | :) | 13:17 |
| ogra_ | (note the caret, its important) | 13:17 |
| brandini | too late? | 13:17 |
| infinity | ogra_: export exports to children, it can't export "up" to the parent. | 13:18 |
| ogra_ | argh ! | 13:20 |
| ogra_ | damned | 13:20 |
| ogra_ | i thought it exports on the same level | 13:20 |
| ogra_ | not sure what made me think that | 13:20 |
| infinity | ogra_: If it was exported by the parent, then children can change it. But children can't export to the parent. | 13:50 |
| ogra_ | right | 13:50 |
| ogra_ | so i need a tmpfile or some such | 13:50 |
| ogra_ | to put the value in and make the second script read it | 13:51 |
| infinity | ogra_: What are you mangling? | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | how ugly | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | Bug 872178 | 13:51 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 872178 in jasper-initramfs "ROOTDEV export not working" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/872178 | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | infinity, ^^^ | 13:51 |
| ogra_ | TI has probs with a blaze install | 13:51 |
| infinity | Don't we use more or less the same detection routine twice? | 13:52 |
| ogra_ | no | 13:52 |
| ogra_ | only once | 13:52 |
| infinity | Or is it just hardcoded in _setup? | 13:52 |
| ogra_ | it is hardcoded to a fallback of mmcblk0 | 13:52 |
| infinity | Ahh. | 13:52 |
| ogra_ | if the export doesnt get through | 13:52 |
| ogra_ | which doesnt harm us on any installs atm | 13:53 |
| ogra_ | since all our images use mmcblk0 ... the blaze cant | 13:53 |
| infinity | Well, you could do this two ways. You could find it in growroot and write a tempfile, or you could break the detection out into a utility that you install to /bin | 13:53 |
| ogra_ | well, i could also add it to initramfs-tools, the value i set in a child should persist for the other child then, no ? | 13:53 |
| ogra_ | though it feels very wrong to add jasper vars there | 13:54 |
| infinity | If you export ROOTDEV= in init, then it would persist. | 13:54 |
| infinity | But that seems silly. | 13:54 |
| ogra_ | no, i mean if i set ROOTDEV to a value in growroot, that should get handed over to _setup | 13:55 |
| ogra_ | if the var is owned by init | 13:55 |
| infinity | Yeah. | 13:55 |
| infinity | That's what I meant. | 13:55 |
| ogra_ | k | 13:55 |
| infinity | See the list of exports in init. | 13:56 |
| ogra_ | well, not the solution for now though | 13:56 |
| ogra_ | (and actually a bit to late for a solution in general i think) | 13:56 |
| ndec | ogra_: why exactly do we have to hardcode mmbblk0 in initramfs? | 13:56 |
| infinity | Yeah, I'm not sure this is something we should care about for release. | 13:56 |
| ogra_ | ndec, its a fallback value | 13:56 |
| infinity | ndec: We don't have to, and shouldn't, it's a bug IMO. But not an RC one, given that the images all work as designed on their respective targets. | 13:57 |
| ndec | sure. | 13:57 |
| ogra_ | it gets only used if the first script doesnt hand the info to the second (which sadly seems to be a default) | 13:57 |
| infinity | But yes, the ROOTDEV stuff is all broken/wrong, IMO. | 13:57 |
| ndec | what do we do in the non fallback solution? | 13:57 |
| ogra_ | hack jasper :( | 13:57 |
| ogra_ | xranby, was it you who filed that gconf bug where gconf looks in the wrong path ? | 15:41 |

| ThersiT | I've got a usb to serial adapter I'm trying to use to get to an Arcturus module. For the life of me I can't get minicom to connect to my module. However if I run WinXP in a virtualbox I can get Putty to connect. Have any of seen this before? | 16:11 |
| GrueMaster | Why use minicom? Use screen, much easier. screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 | 16:12 |
| ThersiT | Screen won't work either. The adapter is being recognized. Here is my dmesg output. [ 5880.414017] usb 5-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 | 16:15 |
| GrueMaster | ok. What does screen output when launched? | 16:16 |
| ThersiT | Screen gives me nothing but a flashing cursor. I'm in the dialout group too. | 16:17 |
| ThersiT | Used the same cmd you just posted. | 16:18 |
| GrueMaster | What speed settings do you use in Putty? Any other comm settings? | 16:18 |
| ThersiT | 115200 8N1 no flow control. | 16:18 |
| ThersiT | I've been all over the web, I'm really at a lost here. | 16:20 |
| GrueMaster | Very interesting. I am using the same settings on 8 different USB serial cables here with no problem. | 16:21 |
| GrueMaster | Try sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200. Also, try unplugging the usb cable from your host and re-plugging it in and checking dmesg to verify it is ttyUSB0. | 16:22 |
| ThersiT | Ahh, sudo gives me an error in screen "ioctl failed" | 16:25 |
| ThersiT | "Interrupted system call" | 16:26 |
| ThersiT | Is that any help? | 16:26 |
| GrueMaster | Very interesting. | 16:26 |
| GrueMaster | Anything in dmesg? | 16:26 |
| ThersiT | Negative. | 16:28 |
| ThersiT | Also I've tried this in 10.04, 11.04, and Backtrack 5. | 16:29 |
| GrueMaster | This is very odd. My desktop is 10.04, and I have a dedicated serial console (serial-killer) running 11.04, neither have had these issues. | 16:30 |
| GrueMaster | Make sure your usb device isn't being taken over by the VM. | 16:31 |
| ThersiT | Yea, It's really kicking my butt. VM has'nt been open since a reboot. | 16:32 |
| ThersiT | I modprobed the adapter myself after boot. | 16:33 |
| GrueMaster | So dmesg does show the ttyUSB device? | 16:34 |
| ThersiT | Yup. ttyUSB0 | 16:35 |
| GrueMaster | What does "sudo lsof ./dev/ttyUSB0" show? May be modem-manager getting in the way. | 16:36 |
| ThersiT | It's 660. Owned by root:dialout. Letme look. | 16:36 |
| ogra_ | nromally ubuntu users are in the dialout group by default | 16:37 |
| GrueMaster | I don't think it is a permissions issue. I think some other app is taking control of the device in the background. | 16:38 |
| ThersiT | sudo lsof /dev/ttyUSB0 | 16:39 |
| ThersiT | lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/wstraus/.gvfs | 16:39 |
| ThersiT | Output information may be incomplete. | 16:39 |
| GrueMaster | lsof should show who/what has the device open | 16:39 |
| GrueMaster | Ignore the gvfs stuff. | 16:40 |
| ThersiT | How do you quit screen? | 16:41 |
| GrueMaster | <ctrl>-a k | 16:41 |
| ThersiT | I had a bunch of screen's open, they were listed in lsof and I killed the pids. | 16:43 |
| ThersiT | But after killing all of those nothing gets listed from lsof | 16:44 |
| GrueMaster | ok, that is a good thing. Now try launching screen again. | 16:44 |
| ThersiT | sudo? | 16:45 |
| obarthelemy | Hi... sorry, dumb question... what are the user+root accounts and pwd for oneiric-core-armel ? | 16:45 |
| GrueMaster | You may have to do something on your test system as well to get any output (like reset). | 16:45 |
| GrueMaster | obarthelemy: There is no passwd. You should be able to use it as a chroot environment w/o problem. | 16:46 |
| ogra_ | obarthelemy, -core is for building your own images, its just enough OS to run apt, nothing more, no user or configuration | 16:46 |
| ThersiT | Just rebooted the module with screen running, got nothing. | 16:47 |
| ThersiT | I should see it booting then a login prompt. | 16:48 |
| ThersiT | let me try sudo screen. | 16:49 |
| ThersiT | Nothing using sudo either. | 16:50 |
| obarthelemy | I know core is very bare, that' what i want... I'm stuck at the login prompt though, root/blank don't work, blank/blank neither, tried temppwd which was the correct pwd for the minimal-omap rootfs, no luck either | 16:50 |
| ogra_ | right, as i said, no users, no passwd, no config | 16:51 |
| ogra_ | you would have to create a rootpw before booting the rootfs | 16:52 |
| obarthelemy | ok, ill dot hat then, thanks | 16:53 |
| ThersiT | Do you guys know a good adapter that works well with linux? I can go buy a new one. | 16:53 |
| gildean | i remember reading about the same problem somewhere | 16:57 |
| GrueMaster | ThersiT: All of mine are TrendNet USB Serial. | 16:57 |
| GrueMaster | Essentially anything with a pl2303 converter chip should work well. | 16:58 |
| GrueMaster | What does dmesg say your USB cable has for a converter? | 16:58 |
| gildean | hmm, here it was, don't know if this is any help: http://www.trimslice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=335 | 16:58 |
| * ogra_ never checked, i'm just buying them as i lose them | 16:58 | |
| ogra_ | and never had one that didnt work | 16:58 |
| ThersiT | GrueMaster: cool I'll go looking. dmesg says "usbserial_generic 5-1:1.0: generic converter detected" but it's a TIUSB3410 | 17:02 |
| ThersiT | gildean: I'm looking at that now. | 17:02 |
| ThersiT | Thanks guys. I'm just gonna try a new one. | 17:15 |
| GrueMaster | ThersiT: Make sure you do a little research before you just buy one. You should be able to google the specs easily enough. | 17:16 |
| ThersiT | Yea, I'm gonna try to find one with that PL2303 chipset. | 17:18 |
| prpplague | or has an ftdi chipset | 17:18 |
| prpplague | both are reasonably stable | 17:18 |
| * GrueMaster has had excellent luck with the TrendNet brand, and a few others that have the pl2303 in them. | 17:19 | |
| GrueMaster | One of my cables is actually a 4 serial port hydra cable. 1 USB<>4 Serial heads. Other than enumerating, it works very well. | 17:20 |
| GrueMaster | But I doubt a lot of people are using multiple usb-serial adapters on a single system to control 8+ arm systems. | 17:21 |
| ThersiT | I read in that forum gildean showed me to short pins 2 and 3 to make a loop back and that failed. I think this adapter in just not linux friendly. | 17:22 |
| GrueMaster | Highly possible. I also found a bunch of issue reports when I googled for TIUSB3410 Linux. | 17:24 |
| GrueMaster | To be fair, there "may" be a module that just isn't being loaded for some reason. | 17:24 |
| GrueMaster | But I doubt that is the issue. | 17:24 |
| ThersiT | I did have to add a udev rule to load usbserial. | 17:25 |
| GrueMaster | ThersiT: Check lsmod to see if ti-usb-3410* is loaded. | 17:26 |
| ThersiT | Tried lsusb | grep ti and got nothing relevant. | 17:27 |
| GrueMaster | Then try "sudo modprobe ti_usb_3410_5052". | 17:28 |
| ThersiT | tried it, no change. what is the 5052? | 17:32 |
| ThersiT | lsmod says ti_usb is using ttyUSB0 tho. | 17:33 |
| GrueMaster | Ok, different kernel, different module. | 17:36 |
| ThersiT | I'm on Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 2.6.32-34-generic | 17:39 |
| GrueMaster | Interesting, I'm on the same kernel. | 17:40 |
| GrueMaster | Well, -pae. | 17:41 |
| ThersiT | Yup, been messing with it for a few days. Installed that WinXP vbox last night and hated every minute of it. heh | 17:43 |
| ThersiT | On a side note I'm new to these modules. Is uClinux the way to go? | 17:51 |
| GrueMaster | No idea. Never worked with that. | 17:52 |
| ogra_ | does uClinux still exist ? | 17:52 |
| ogra_ | i thought that died long ago | 17:53 |
| ThersiT | Oh, that would suck. This Arcturus module was bought about 2 years ago and uClinux is what came on it. | 17:54 |
| ThersiT | What do you guys use? | 17:55 |
| ogra_ | well, you are in #ubuntu-arm | 17:55 |
| ogra_ | so make a guess ;) | 17:55 |
| ThersiT | Ah heh heh, yup I should have thought of that. | 17:57 |
| martyn | How can I get a PPA compiled on the ARM farm? | 19:50 |
| martyn | ( Specifically : http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/dists/lucid/nginx/ ) | 19:50 |
| martyn | compiled in Oneieric | 19:50 |
| GrueMaster | martyn: Not sure, but I believe heavy bribing with beer may be involved. :P | 19:52 |
| GrueMaster | Seriously, I wouldn't know. | 19:53 |
| GrueMaster | I can pull it locally and see if it builds on one of my pandas if that is what you are looking for. | 19:55 |
| === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan | ||
| GrueMaster | martyn: We already have nginx in the pool (universe). I'm sure it will get resync'd and rebuilt after next week. | 20:08 |
| martyn | GrueMaster: That would be helpful | 20:13 |
| martyn | GrueMaster: My buildd is down, having been "borrowed" for a corporate demo | 20:13 |
| martyn | cool | 20:13 |
| martyn | So it's migrated from PPA to universe? | 20:14 |
