[09:06] <LetoThe2nd> is there some known best practise to build/run the kernel on the pandaboard? to tinker around with changing or experimental peropherals....
[11:18] <elementary-site0> Hey
[11:18] <elementary-site0> I need help guys
[11:18] <elementary-site0> I am so confused :/
[11:19] <elementary-site0> I want to install an Ubuntu version of ARM to raspberry-pi ARM11
[11:19] <elementary-site0> and I don't know which?
[11:19] <elementary-site0> I can see armel-dove and armel-omap version and I don't know the difference or the process of doing it.
[11:19] <elementary-site0> Anyone?
[11:20] <elementary-site0> Is any of these the right one http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases-dvd/11.10/release/ ?
[11:22] <amitk> elementary-site0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71828/what-arm-single-board-computers-does-are-supported-by-ubuntu
[11:23] <elementary-site0> amitk: Hmmm that helped, Thanks. I guess I am stuck with arch linux :/
[11:23] <elementary-site0> or Debian
[11:23] <amitk> yes
[11:24] <elementary-site0> :)
[11:24] <elementary-site0> They will ship Debian or archlinux cards. nice
[11:24] <elementary-site0> Thanks amitk
[11:25] <amitk> elementary-site0: no problem
[12:44] <LetoThe2nd> is there some known best practise to build/run the kernel on the pandaboard? to tinker around with changing or experimental peripherals.... (platform is a pandaboard)
[13:06] <ogra_> LetoThe2nd, same procedure as for any other platform running ubuntu ;)
[13:07] <ogra_> either pull the git tree from kernel.ubuntu.com or use the source package
[13:07] <ogra_> there should be a few wikipages from the kernel team
[13:08] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ok, so the standard process will take care of the flashkernel things and such?
[13:11] <ogra_> LetoThe2nd, as long as you build a deb from either of the above, yes
[13:12] <ogra_> if you want to do it fully manual just copy vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz-$your_version ... then run sudo update-initramfs -u -k $your_version
[13:12] <ogra_> update-initramfs runs flash-kernel at the end of its run in this case
[13:13] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ah ok. but the manual thing is exactly what i do not want... why work around existing mechanisms?
[13:13] <ogra_> (creating uImage from vmlinuz etc is handled by flash-kernel(
[13:14] <ogra_> sure, if you feel like rolling a deb every time, do it like that ... it just takes more time
[13:14] <ogra_> the result will be the same
[13:14] <LetoThe2nd> thx, will look into it then :)
[13:14] <ogra_> apart from the fact that dpkg doesnt know about tehz kernel in the manua case indeed
[13:14] <ogra_> *manual
[13:16] <LetoThe2nd> yeah. and package management not knowing about things always gives me that icky feeling...
[13:16] <ogra_> sure sure ... but for quick tests i prefer the manual way... once i have a final solutio i put it into the package as a last step
[13:16] <ogra_> *solution
[13:16]  * ogra_ wonders where his chars went ....
[13:18] <LetoThe2nd> i they prolly all transformed to longints.
[13:19] <ogra_> heh
[13:20]  * ogra_ happily closes his mailer ... ~4000 mails piled up in 10 days of vacation, sigh
[13:34] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: rm *.mbox
[13:34] <ogra_> :P
[13:34] <ndec> ogra_: hi! and happy new year!
[13:35] <ndec> do you know if our PPA is now armhf enabled?
[13:35] <ogra_> ndec, same to you !!
[13:35] <ogra_> ndec, argh, not yet ... will ping you if its done
[13:36] <ndec> ok. i am testing armhf now, with some luck it might work soon ( i mean the GFX part)
[13:41] <ogra_> ndec, wow, thanks !!
[13:47] <ndec> you will thank me when it works ;-)
[14:46] <ndec> ogra_: i have a FS with precise armhf  and GFX seems ok... I am using openbox + xterm + DDK samples applications... not sure I will get more time to test a full desktop, but I could release what I have at least.
[14:46] <ndec> if my PPA was armhf ;_)
[14:46] <ogra_> ndec, yeah, IS is pinged but i didnt get an answer yet
[14:47] <ogra_> does es2gears work ?
[14:51] <ndec> ogra_: is there a pkg for it?
[14:52] <suihkulokki> ndec: mesa-utils-extra or something close to that
[14:52] <ogra_> right
[14:52] <ndec> thx
[14:53] <ndec> ogra_: yep. it seems to work. at least I can see a PVR warning...
[14:53] <ogra_> awesome !
[15:57] <ogra_> janimo, did you adjust the config to carry the newly enabled erratas in your ac100 upload ?
[15:57] <ogra_> seems not having the causes hangs after a while
[16:07] <ndec> ogra_: if i want to build armhf pkg from an armel FS with multi arch, is that supposed to work?
[16:08] <ogra_> i dont think anyone tested or focused on hf vs el multiarch yet
[16:08] <ogra_> so it *might* or might not work :)
[16:09] <ndec> i can try... how do I install a armhf pkg in an armel fs?
[16:09] <ogra_> iirc dpkg has teh option --foreign=$targetarch
[16:10] <ogra_> so that would be --foreign=armel on hf ... and the other way round
[16:10] <ogra_> ah, no
[16:10] <ogra_> --foreign-architecture architecture
[16:10] <ogra_> is what the manpage says
[16:10] <ogra_> no equal sign
[17:52] <ndec> ogra_: was trying to install metacity in armhf, it seems that libgtk-3-0 installs its stuf in /usr/lib/{triplet}gtk-3.0 now, however I get errors during configure with "Cannot load module /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/*.so". is that expected?
[17:52] <ndec> i wonder how you can build a desktop image with this..
[17:56] <ndec> ogra_: nevermind... this is not the root cause of my problem, that seems harmless..
[17:56] <ndec> i have another problem...
[21:52] <janimo> ogra_, which newly enabled erratas? I am not aware of any discussion/bug
