[11:56] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ping
[11:56] <ogra_> yep
[11:57] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: finally got around to build a pandaboard kernel as we talked yesterday. for simplicity, just using direct copy, but update-initramfs fails:
[11:57] <LetoThe2nd> Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-rc7-carthag+ does not match your subarchitecture
[11:58] <ogra_> why the + ?
[11:58] <ogra_> add -omap4 instead :)
[11:58] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: no idea where it comes from.
[11:58] <ogra_> juat cp the file
[11:58] <ogra_> just
[11:58] <LetoThe2nd> CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=-carthag
[12:00] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: make modules_install tells me the kernel itself believes it has to be called "+": DEPMOD  3.2.0-rc7-carthag+
[12:01] <ogra_> well, the + seems odd
[12:01] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: yes, but the first part (searching modules) of update-initramfs only works if you keep the +
[12:01] <ogra_> k
[12:02] <ogra_> add omap4 to the localversion though ...
[12:03] <LetoThe2nd> set to -carthag-omap4 now
[12:03] <ogra_> k
[12:04] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: BTW, it is the tilt kernel from linaro that rsalveti pointed me to.
[12:05] <ogra_> there should be debs of it already
[12:05] <ogra_> and i think the ubuntu distro kernel is based on that branch (with ubuntu sauce on top though)
[12:05] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: i can't change the platform config in deb files ;)
[12:08] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: just for clarity: i use arch/arm/boot/zImage as the vmlinuz?
[12:08] <ogra_> yep
[12:09] <ogra_> update.initramfs is a script btw, you could also use a txt file as vmlinuz, it doesnt care
[12:10] <LetoThe2nd> now modules_install says DEPMOD  3.2.0-rc7-carthag-omap4+
[12:14] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: guess that's a problem with flash-kernel
[12:14] <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: but where does that "+" come from in the first line?
[12:14] <rsalveti> that requires the filename to end up with -omap or something similar
[12:15] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: guess that's part of the kernel scripts to generate the deb file
[12:15] <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: i'm not creating a deb, just dumb make.
[12:16] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: that's interesting
[12:16] <rsalveti> let me check here
[12:16] <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: its the most simple use case. native build on the panda with make.
[12:17] <LetoThe2nd> BTW: how to git pull while i'm on the remote tilt-tracking?
[12:21] <LetoThe2nd> ah, git pull origin tilt-tracking says up-to-date.
[12:33] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: here I'm still pulling the branch
[12:33] <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: no need to hurry, i'm playing skyrim in the meanwhile ;)
[12:33] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: haha :-)
[12:34]  * LetoThe2nd is on vacation
[12:57] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: yup, seems it adds + by default at the kernel name
[12:58] <rsalveti> let me check the config options
[14:30] <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: # If CONFIG_KALLSYMS is set .version is already updated
[14:31] <rsalveti> # Use + in front of the vmlinux_version rule to silent warning with make -j2
[14:31] <rsalveti> from Makefile
[14:32] <rsalveti> but could also be related with kernelrelease or linux_version_code
[14:32] <rsalveti> probably something saying the kernel is the tag+ a few patches
[14:33] <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: yeah, that was also my first guess.
[16:30] <doko> GrueMaster, about bug 903695, what is needed to get the "Verification-testing" done?
[16:30] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 903695 in kernel-sru-workflow/verification-testing "linux-ti-omap4: 3.0.0-1206.14 -proposed tracker" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/903695
[16:32] <GrueMaster> Doko:  Regression-testing 	Fix Released  Undecided   Tobin Davis
[16:32] <GrueMaster> that means I have already tested it and blessed it from my side.  Not up to me now.
[16:33] <GrueMaster> Looks like it still needs sign-off from the ubuntu-armel-kernel team and the Canonical Security team.
[16:34] <GrueMaster> Like I said two weeks ago, I am hardly the bottleneck on these SRU kernels.
[16:37] <doko> GrueMaster, I'm just getting used to this "processes"
[16:38] <GrueMaster> doko:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/kernel-sru-workflow
[16:38] <doko> ppisati, ^^^ looks to be your task ;-) there's only one member in the team
[16:45] <ppisati> doko: nope, sru team
[16:45] <doko> ppisati, confused, you're the only member in this team
[16:48] <GrueMaster> Is it me or is launchpad being extremely slow?
[17:23] <GrueMaster> ppisati: I'm getting ready to fire some bugs your way for precise omap4 kernel.
[19:36] <dogan> hi
[19:36] <dogan> can someone help me about configuring a new sd-card
[19:37] <dogan> ?
[19:37] <dogan> for ubuntu
[19:37] <GrueMaster> dogan: What are you trying to do?
[19:38] <dogan> thanks for reply :)
[19:38] <dogan> first i want to know difference between maverick and narwhall distros?
[19:39] <GrueMaster> Erm, lots?  What platform are you using?  Panda?
[19:39] <dogan> yep
[19:39] <dogan> Pandaboard
[19:39] <dogan> just got it
[19:39] <dogan> i want to work on a pay tv application
[19:39] <GrueMaster> I would recommend Oneiric (11.10).  It is more tuned, and will more than likely support your board (if it is newer).
[19:39] <dogan> which distro has more multimedia options for example...
[19:40] <dogan> oneiric
[19:40] <dogan> ok
[19:40] <dogan> pls wait, i am checking the prebuild binaries
[19:40] <GrueMaster> Yes, Oneiric.  What rev board are you using?
[19:41] <dogan> REV A
[19:41] <dogan> is it good or bad?
[19:41] <GrueMaster> 4430 or 4460?
[19:41] <GrueMaster> (Rev A doesn't tell me much).
[19:42] <dogan> the serial number starts with 4430 so it is 4430 i think...
[19:42] <GrueMaster> Ok.
[19:42] <dogan> U4430500...
[19:42] <GrueMaster> Not sure how the serial number thing works.
[19:42] <dogan> are there bugs? on old version?
[19:42] <dogan> let me check the retail box label...
[19:43] <GrueMaster> Biggest issue is supporting newer rev boards.
[19:43] <dogan> hım
[19:43] <dogan> i see
[19:43] <dogan> yes it is 4430
[19:43] <dogan> so it is good for compatibility... right?
[19:43] <GrueMaster> As sometimes the boards ship before we can get support in the u-boot/kernel.
[19:43] <GrueMaster> Oneiric should suit your needs well.
[19:43] <dogan> fine thanks
[19:44] <GrueMaster> I tested it on A1, A2, and A3 (all of the known shipping 4430 revs).
[19:44] <dogan>     Natty Narwhal (11.04) Netbook Installation Instructions
[19:44] <dogan>     Natty Narwhal (11.04) Headless Installation Instructions
[19:44] <dogan>     Maverick Meerkat (10.10) Netbook Installation Instructions
[19:44] <dogan> what are these so?
[19:44] <dogan> bootloaders?
[19:46] <GrueMaster> They are different spins.  Maverick and Natty are 10.10 and 11.04 ubuntu releases.  Headless is exactly that, it runs w/o keyboard/monitor.  Netbook was what we were shipping prior to Oneiric, when the x86 netbook & desktop images converged.
[19:47] <dogan> so for pandaboard maverick is right choice?
[19:47] <GrueMaster> Oneiric desktop installation will be identical to the Netbook release instructions as far as creating a bootable SD.
[19:47] <dogan> so what am i suppose to do for panda?
[19:47] <GrueMaster> No, use Oneiric.  Maverick was the first release for that platform, and only works on early rev boards.
[19:48] <dogan> and win32diskimager works for me?
[19:48] <dogan> ha ok these are old distros...
[19:48] <dogan> i see
[19:48] <GrueMaster> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img.gz
[19:48] <dogan> so i downloaded oneiric
[19:48] <dogan> can i use win32diskimager for writing to my sd?
[19:49] <GrueMaster> win32-image-writer will work if you are using windows.  I just released v0.4 yesterday.
[19:49] <dogan> fine dude trying now :)
[19:49] <GrueMaster> And I tested it quite extensively.
[19:49] <dogan> outstanding :)
[19:50] <dogan> GrueMaster:is it a .net application?
[19:51] <GrueMaster> No, it is a QT application.
[19:51] <dogan> himmm ok
[19:51] <GrueMaster> The binary zip file has everything you need.  Just make sure your path includes "." so that it will pull the dll files from the program directory.
[19:53] <GrueMaster> I don't have an installer for the program, so you just need to extract everything to one directory.  Then just double click on the .exe
[19:54] <GrueMaster> A lot of pain went into testing v0.4 (I had to run Windows XP & Windows 7 - shudder).
[20:27] <dogan> GrueMaster:r u there?
[20:29] <GrueMaster> Yes, barely (local server issues).
[20:30] <dogan> i just downloaded the distro
[20:30] <dogan> also downloaded your image writer
[20:30] <dogan> but file extension is different
[20:30] <dogan> so i wrote .raw file
[20:30] <dogan> will it work? eh?
[20:30] <GrueMaster> You will need to uncompress the image file.  Winzip (or Windows 7) should be able to do this.
[20:31] <GrueMaster> win32-image-writer doesn't support file compression natively.
[20:31] <dogan> yes it worked man
[20:31] <dogan> yea i know but i meant that the file extension after extration is raw, not img
[20:32] <dogan> so i wrote sd by forcing to write .raw file instead of .img
[20:32] <dogan> and it worked yessss :D
[20:32] <dogan> heyooo
[20:33] <dogan> thank you so mych GrueMaster, you are really a master :D
