| vganesh | hi i am a novice and am trying to boot linux over pb11mpcore through an sdcard. How do i configure the sdcard so that i can set the environment variables in the arm board | 04:14 |
|---|---|---|
| leekic | Can ubuntu 11.10 install on I.MX51 board? | 06:46 |
| infinity | leekic: It can almost certainly run on one, but no, we have no installer for them right now. | 06:56 |
| infinity | leekic: (Since every new installer image on ARM needs a different boot loader and kernel, we don't produce one for every board...) | 06:56 |

| nontrivial | hello | 15:54 |
| nontrivial | does anyone know if 11.10 will run on an arm plug server | 15:55 |
| nontrivial | such as TonidoPlug | 15:55 |

| Neko | hmm that guy disappeared before anyone answered... | 17:49 |
| GrueMaster | Not that it matters. I don't think that system is armv7 compatible. Seems based on Shivaplug processor. Can't find better details. | 17:58 |

| prpplague | anyone got some handy dandy instructions for using ubuntu 11.10 with dual displays on the pandaboard? | 20:14 |
| robclark | prpplague, plug in two monitors, see what happens? | 20:42 |
| robclark | prpplague, I guess it "should just work", at least if the two monitors have a similar pixel clock | 20:43 |
| prpplague | robclark: yea, only thing i had to do was enable the secondary display | 20:43 |
| robclark | (but in reality, I dunno.. I only have one monitor) | 20:43 |
| prpplague | robclark: nhg was wanting to know if there was some specific docs for it | 20:44 |
| robclark | it should come up mirrored by default | 20:44 |
| robclark | open monitors control panel, unclick "mirror" (or whatever it says) to get virtual desktop.. | 20:44 |
| robclark | ie. it should just work like on PC | 20:44 |
| robclark | (or PC without nvidea binary driver, at least) | 20:45 |
| prpplague | robclark: interesting, i had to enable it via sysfs first, then it showed up in the monitors panel | 20:53 |
| robclark | hmm, one of the displays not getting enabled properly? | 20:53 |
| robclark | hdmi? | 20:53 |
| prpplague | robclark: dvi | 20:54 |
| prpplague | robclark: hdmi comes up ok | 20:54 |
| robclark | hmm.. dvi relies on external (to dvi) i2c to detect connection.. | 20:54 |
| robclark | so it should not care about the dss state, whether it shows up in monitor control panel or not | 20:55 |
| robclark | prpplague, anyways, the code (if you care) is in omap_connector.c, in omap_connector_detect() | 20:56 |
| prpplague | robclark: interesting, thanks for the info | 20:57 |
| robclark | np | 20:57 |
| Neko | GrueMaster, any news on the NM hangs on boot and oem-config doesn't uninstall itself bugs? | 21:27 |
| GrueMaster | nm hangs? Not sure I know of that one. As to oem-config, that is documented in the release notes with a workaround. | 21:28 |
| GrueMaster | Essentially, you need to open a console (ctrl-alt-F1), login, and type "sudo oem-config-remove && sudo reboot". | 21:29 |
| GrueMaster | ubuntu | 21:30 |
| GrueMaster | erp. wrong window. | 21:30 |
| Neko | you told me about this nm hang :( something about NM stalling on boot which may have caused a long, long wait before oem-config ran in the first place | 21:31 |
| GrueMaster | I think that was fixed prior to release. | 21:31 |
| Neko | okay.. as for the oem-config thing I was hoping that there was a real fix and not just a "workaround in the release notes", even a particular knowledge of what caused the breakage in the first place even if nobody touched it yet | 21:31 |
| GrueMaster | We are still debugging it. I can hit it with the right SD card 99% of the time, others are only hitting it ~%60. And there are no relevent messages in any logs. I need to tweak the scripts that launch oem-config to generate their own output logs. | 21:33 |
| GrueMaster | Even then, this will not be fixed in Oneiric. Can't fix images w/o respin, which never happens after release. | 21:34 |
| Neko | okay, the release note says "in some corner cases" but the bug doesn't relate what those cases might be | 21:34 |
| GrueMaster | The "corner cases" are that I can easily reproduce it, but others can't. Since I have at least 1 of every board rev released, I have a wider variety to test with. And I also have a large collection of SD cards. | 21:35 |
| GrueMaster | Some combinations reduce the repeatability greatly. Others cause it to manifest everytime. I can reproduce it 99% of the time with one SD card on every platform rev. | 21:36 |
| Neko | so it's related to... extremely slow disks? | 21:36 |
| GrueMaster | Not sure. The one I have that reproduces more frequently is a Micro Center Class 6 16Gb SD. My class 10 16G work most of the time, and my class 2 4GB rarely. | 21:38 |
| GrueMaster | It appears to be highly timing related. | 21:38 |
| GrueMaster | I'll look at debugging it more soon. I was in Orlando since 10/26 so haven't been able to look at it yet. And I'm busy with other priority work atm. | 21:40 |
| GrueMaster | Best case scenario is that I can root cause the issue or come up with a workaround that can be scripted and applied between resize and oem-conifg steps. It would be semi-manual though, so a bit of a cludge any way you look at it. | 21:41 |
