[04:14] <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
[06:46] <leekic> Can ubuntu 11.10 install on I.MX51 board?
[06:56] <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...)

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

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

[20:14] <prpplague> anyone got some handy dandy instructions for using ubuntu 11.10 with dual displays on the pandaboard?
[20:42] <robclark> prpplague, plug in two monitors, see what happens?
[20:43] <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)
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <robclark> (or PC without nvidea binary driver, at least)
[20:53] <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?
[20:54] <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..
[20:55] <robclark> so it should not care about the dss state, whether it shows up in monitor control panel or not
[20:56] <robclark> prpplague, anyways, the code (if you care) is in omap_connector.c, in omap_connector_detect()
[20:57] <prpplague> robclark: interesting, thanks for the info
[20:57] <robclark> np
[21:27] <Neko> GrueMaster, any news on the NM hangs on boot and oem-config doesn't uninstall itself bugs?
[21:28] <GrueMaster> nm hangs?  Not sure I know of that one.  As to oem-config, that is documented in the release notes with a workaround.
[21:29] <GrueMaster> Essentially, you need to open a console (ctrl-alt-F1), login, and type "sudo oem-config-remove && sudo reboot".
[21:30] <GrueMaster> ubuntu
[21:30] <GrueMaster> erp.  wrong window.
[21:31] <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
[21:33] <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.
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <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.
[21:36] <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?
[21:38] <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.
[21:40] <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.
[21:41] <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.
