Or any changes made since yesterday that might be relevant? I had an automated install working yesterday, but it is failing to boot after the installer today, and I haven't changed anything. [09:13] rbasak: Not that I know of. [09:13] rbasak: You mean fresh installs don't work, or a dist-upgraded one has failed to continue working? [09:13] fresh installs don't work [09:13] I'm just trying oneiric now to check it's not something not archive related [09:14] There was a new kernel yesterday. Could be broken, or the images could just be suffering from some archive breakage. [09:16] ok, thanks. I might ask for some help debugging this in a bit === RoyK^ is now known as RoyK [11:11] OK I think there's a regression for panda in the new kernel. It just doesn't boot, no output after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.", even with quiet etc. removed from the command line. The installer works fine. Any help please? [11:12] or can anyone reproduce? [11:16] rbasak, I know there was such a bug in omap4 kernel last Linaro release, worked around by passing a compiler flag [11:16] but not sure about latest kernels === lool- is now known as lool [12:32] I've followed this guide for booting from USB instead of SD card on my pandaboard. It boot but is really, really slow and the board seems to continuosly access USB HD. I'm using prebuild image for ubuntu 11.10 http://omappedia.org/wiki/Prebuilt_ubuntu_binaries. Is it normal? Thank you [12:33] ops, ---> this guide http://omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ#I_want_to_install_Ubuntu_on_external_USB_hard_disk_instead_of_sluggish_SD_card === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [13:52] Spider-Pork: Not sure what to tell you on that because I haven't tried that method. I use the netinstall image to install to a USB drive (Sata) and it seems fairly responsive. [13:52] Hi, I would like to have a console terminal in the serial port, instead of the hdmi. How can I configure? [13:52] Giovani_br: Desktop image or server image? [13:53] GrueMaster: oh is possible to install on external drive with netinstall? [13:53] where you put the url to external disk? [13:53] you put image of netinstall on SD right? [13:53] and then from netinstall put external disk URL? [13:53] GrueMaster: server image, I am using pandaboard. I have the serial port connected the last message says: "stopping read required files in advance [ OK ]" then the login screen is displayed in the hdmi [13:53] It still requires an SD, but the rootfs & swap get installed on the usb drive. [13:54] GrueMaster: ok but how you done it? [13:54] Giovani_br: The server image should create a login tty on the serial port. [13:54] GrueMaster: it is not creating ;/ [13:55] ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-server-armel+omap4.img this is the image [13:55] ARGH [13:55] ogra_: ping [13:55] ok, you wrote it on your SD right? [13:55] GrueMaster: the login tty is on the hdmi port [13:55] Spider-Pork: Download the netinstall image from http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/oneiric/main/installer-armel/current/images/omap4/netboot/ [13:56] Spider-Pork: Use one of boot.img-[serial|fb]. The serial one puts the config screen out to the serial console, and the fb will run install from the screen. [13:57] ok and then how you indicate URL for external drive? [13:57] the alternate install ask to you? [13:57] Giovani_br: What do you have on the serial console? Do you see u-boot messages? [13:57] GrueMaster: yes [13:57] Spider-Pork: The installer will have a section on guided partitioning. [13:57] GrueMaster: also linux messages [13:57] GrueMaster: thank you! [13:57] but not the login [13:57] Giovani_br: Which image are you running? [13:58] GrueMaster: ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-server-armel+omap4.img [13:58] Very odd. I have that running here on one of my pandas. It sounds like you either are missing /etc/init/ttyO2.conf, or it is corrupted. [14:00] I will see in the sd card [14:11] \quit [14:20] GrueMaster: on netboot installer, you have selected ubuntu desktop USB? [14:22] *have you [14:23] No, select Ubuntu-desktop. The other one isfor creating a live USBstick (and I think it is only for x86). [14:24] ok tyhankyou [14:25] Spider-Pork: Are you using Oneiric? [14:28] GrueMaster: 11.10+ [14:28] 11.10 === rsalveti` is now known as rsalveti [14:29] Ok, cool. Reason I asked was we have a broken kernel in the 12.04 pool atm. [14:29] ok thank you [14:30] i came from openembedded. How ubuntu create these prebuild images? [14:30] using the cdimage build servers in the canonical datacenter :) [14:30] for example: on openembedded I utilize bitbake my_image_recipe [14:30] Magic fairy dust sprikled liberally over a lot of crappy scripts. [14:31] they are assembled from the binary debs [14:31] ah ok [14:31] so i can't build my own ubuntu [14:31] i must wait prebuild images from canonical right? [14:32] the tool building the filesystem is called live-build but that only gives you the content of the second partition [14:32] You can, but I don't know how to get you started. Others have before. [14:32] so i must build kernel and uboot [14:32] and boot.scr right? [14:32] the image itself and the partitioninjg are done with the scripts from cdimage [14:33] ok [14:33] thank you [14:33] ppisati: *poke* [14:33] i'll study this system better [14:34] ppisati: Come join us in the ARM room for a second? [14:34] is there a doc about these stuff? [15:03] GrueMaster: are you sure about ubuntu desktop choice? After selected it nothing appeared then. Is blocked there, apparently doing nothing [15:11] Spider-Pork: Unfortunately, I am not in a position to reproduce this at the moment. I am going by memory. [15:12] What are you seeing after the install finishes? Just a login console? [15:12] GrueMaster: simply freeze [15:12] i see the coice for what kind of install i would [15:12] and nothing more [15:13] i rebooted [15:13] I select again ubuntu desktop [15:13] Sounds like something isn't getting installed right. [15:13] then apparently load packages and restart asking me locale, UTC, username, keyboard [15:13] so on at while(1) [15:14] is the third time i write the SD server installation [15:14] I'm starting to think that this SD card has some problems [15:14] Wait, which are you running? preinstalled-server, preinstalled-desktop, or netinstall? [15:15] preinstalled-server [15:15] oh wait [15:15] And you are trying to get desktop running from that? [15:15] yep [15:16] I thought you wanted to install onto a usb drive? [15:16] oh my god [15:16] I readen the wrong line [15:16] you told me to use netinstall [15:17] not server [15:17] Yes. [15:17] * Spider-Pork take out his head from the ass [15:18] I need to shutdown and pack up. I'll be back online Monday to help further (1400 UTC). [15:18] thank you GrueMaster === robclark_ is now known as robclark [16:55] hello === Guest27537 is now known as zumbi [17:51] do anyone know how to extract omap armhf images [17:51] I want to modify those files offline ? [17:52] I have tried to mount, but with no luck [17:52] you mean something like this : http://omappedia.org/wiki/Add_Packages_To_Ubuntu_Preinstalled_Images#Mounting_the_pre-installed_rootfs [17:54] I will give it a chance. I am using Tegra2 based platform and want to test precise armhf port [17:54] thank you [17:54] the method in the wiki is exactly what you want to do I think! [17:55] I hope so ... === rsalveti` is now known as rsalveti_ [23:57] rsalveti_: howdy. still remember poking the omap kernel and being intrigued by the '+' at the end of the name? in case you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild step 7 for where it comes from. [23:58] LetoThe2nd: cool, didn't know about this wiki page [23:58] something useful for people wanting to generate the deb packages from mainline [23:58] thanks === rsalveti_ is now known as rsalveti [23:58] rsalveti_: np. whenever i stumble upon such things, i try t report back ;) [23:59] (though i admit its been a few days ;P ) [23:59] haha, np :-) [23:59] good night and have a nice weekend then :) [23:59] you too, c-ya
