[08:10] <punxos> Hi
[11:00] <punxos> What kind of pages uses linux in arm ? 4KB , 1KB ?
[17:18] <Tuffeuffe> Hi, I'm a fresh owner of a PandaBoard, and I was happy the other day to hear that ubuntu-omap-extras for 11.10 was released. After installing it however, the picture jerks strangely at full screen. Smaller sizes works.
[17:18] <Tuffeuffe> Has anybody experienced the same problem?
[17:19] <Tuffeuffe> I'm trying to run a 1080 mkv file from an external hard drive
[17:23] <robclark> Tuffeuffe, which player, and do you know what format video the mkv contains?
[17:23] <Tuffeuffe> totem, and let me check the video format..
[17:25] <Tuffeuffe> I also tried to play a video from the apple trailer webpage, but that one didn't even start
[17:26] <robclark> does sound like something is not right..
[17:26] <robclark> note, you might need totem-firefox plugin to watch stuff from apple trailer webpage..  not sure if that is installed by default or not..
[17:26] <robclark> if you download a local copy, totem should play it fine
[17:27] <Tuffeuffe> Ok, true. I can try that
[17:34] <Tuffeuffe> The codec of the video is H264, and it seems the resolution is 1408 x 816. Can that cause a problem?
[17:35] <robclark> in theory, that should be fine
[17:36] <robclark> other thing to check.. it may be the case that your user is not in the (I think?) 'video' group.. so doesn't get permission to open the dev files needed for hw accel decode?
[17:37] <robclark> maybe run totem from cmdline and pastebin the output?
[17:38] <Tuffeuffe> Ok, sure
[17:48] <Tuffeuffe> The only thing it says is "assert: cache_check() (=1) !== 0 at MemMgr_Free(memmgr.c:830)
[17:48] <Tuffeuffe> "
[17:58] <Tuffeuffe> My user is Administrator, so I guess that means I should have access also to the video group?
[18:06] <Tuffeuffe> Actually the problem seems even more deep... If I try to play a real 1080 file I either get seg fault or the framerate is about 0.1 fps (one frame every 10 seconds)
[18:07] <martyn> Ow
[18:14] <Tuffeuffe> I think I will put this one on a mail group somewhere... Thanks anyway!
[18:19] <MarcN> I have a dreamplug running jaunty and trying to upgrade to karmic.  Seeing libc6 error with 'Illegal instruction'.  Anyone see this before?
[18:20] <ogra_> that wont work
[18:21] <ogra_> (it is expected behavior, from karmic on we only support armv7)
[18:25] <ogra_> actually update-manager has a check for that and will pop up an error if you try to upgrade
[18:31] <MarcN> I've had the system off for a while and the jaunty repos are gone.  Didn't have update-manager installed.
[18:32] <ogra_> well, there is no support in ubuntu for anything pre-armv7
[18:33] <ogra_> that was only in jaunty because we initially just rebuilt debian without any changes to get the first archive up
[18:34] <MarcN> So I'm out of luck running any ubuntu on a dreamplug?
[18:38] <ogra_> on that CPU at least
[18:39] <ogra_> (i heard there will be new guru/dreamplugs that will have v7 CPUs)
[18:39] <MarcN> ogra_, hmm, debian an option?
[18:39] <ogra_> generally on an old dremplug i would rather recommend debian
[18:39] <ogra_> yes !
[18:39] <ogra_> :)
[18:40] <ogra_> debian is perfect for this
[18:41] <MarcN> ogra_, it had ubuntu/jaunty pre-installed and hadn't bothered to re-install.  They had some kernel modules and startup scripts n random places like ~root/ , so it wasn't stock.
[18:41] <ogra_> yep
[18:42] <MarcN> ogra_, debian it is.  Thanks.
[18:42] <ogra_> good luck :)
[18:42] <MarcN> ogra_, I've installed on a sheevaplug.  How hard could it be? :-)
[18:42] <ogra_> heh, true
