| prpplague | ogra_: yea, package updates have fixed my desktop issues! | 16:26 |
| ogra_ | awesome ! | 16:26 |
| prpplague | ogra_: actually have to reload my box at home, i fudged up and hosed the permissions for /usr | 16:27 |
| ogra_ | ouch ! | 16:27 |
| danboid | Looks like I need to recompile my panda kernel just to get ALSA sequencer support so what kernel version would you guys recommend and why? | 16:37 |
| ogra_ | the one your release has already | 16:37 |
| GrueMaster | danboid: What issues are you seeing? Precise Beta 1 works for both Panda/Panda ES ootb. | 16:38 |
| ogra_ | danboid, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 16:38 |
| ogra_ | just use the source package | 16:39 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, None of the current Linaro or Canonical omap4 kernels have ALSA sequencer support compiled in or as a module | 16:39 |
| GrueMaster | (which I just discovered is broken in the daily images...again.) | 16:39 |
| ogra_ | right, who needs MIDI anyway :P | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | as long as your mp3's play | 16:40 |
| ogra_ | danboid, thats seriously worth filing a bug though | 16:40 |
| danboid | As I've said before, Panda could be quite attractive to Linux musicians due to its silent aspect (if you use a SSD ) | 16:41 |
| ogra_ | yeah, agreed, i was rather sarcastic above, not serious | 16:41 |
| danboid | I'm hoping to use if for music production anyway | 16:41 |
| ogra_ | so a) file a bug, b) follow the wiki t recompile the kernel package with a config change | 16:42 |
| danboid | ogra_, jk- said this has been fixed already | 16:42 |
| ogra_ | in the ubuntu package ? | 16:42 |
| ogra_ | ppisati, ^^^ did you enable alsa sequencer support in the config ? | 16:42 |
| danboid | ogra_, I presume so but he's not been around today to give more info | 16:42 |
| * ogra_ doesnt think so | 16:42 | |
| danboid | If I want the pvr driver working am I best recompiling the standard kernel rather than going for the latest stable code? | 16:44 |
| ppisati | i'm here | 16:45 |
| danboid | ppisati, I was told the latest omap4 kernel configs have ALSA sequencer support enabled now? | 16:46 |
| danboid | ppisati, If so, can I get a package anywhere of such a kernel yet? | 16:47 |
| GrueMaster | danboid: I see CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m in the current precise kernel. | 16:50 |
| GrueMaster | And CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=M as well. | 16:50 |
| ppisati | sorry, was in a phone call | 16:50 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, That'd do me but I expect I can't install a precise kernel under oneiric can I? | 16:51 |
| GrueMaster | So you should be able to get the kernel either from a daily image or from http://ports.ubuntu.com. ppisati can point you to the git tree if you really want to go deep. | 16:51 |
| ppisati | danboid: yes you can | 16:51 |
| GrueMaster | Why not? | 16:51 |
| danboid | Hasn't armel been killed off in precise? | 16:51 |
| GrueMaster | Just use the armel kernel variant (so as not to confuse dpkg). | 16:52 |
| GrueMaster | Only the image builds. | 16:52 |
| GrueMaster | Pool is still active, and I also regularly do netboot installs on my pandas for sanity checking. | 16:52 |
| ogra_ | we dont build armel images and we dont massively care for armel pacvkages either | 16:52 |
| ogra_ | the archive is still existing and wont go away | 16:53 |
| danboid | ppisati, I can get a package for 11.10 armel with the snd-seq compiled as a module? | 16:54 |
| ppisati | danboid: get the P kernel | 16:54 |
| danboid | ppisati, ? Link? | 16:54 |
| danboid | ppisati, please! | 16:55 |
| ppisati | danboid: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux-meta-ti-omap4/linux-image-omap4_3.2.0.1408.8_armel.deb | 16:57 |
| danboid | ppisati, Thanks v. much! Will be trying that tonight! :) | 16:57 |
| danboid | Thanks for your help guys! | 17:04 |
| prp_ | does anyone know how to install minicom on pandaboard. I tried sudo apt-get install minicom but it says E: unable to locate package minicom. I enabled all software sources and restarted but it still doesnt work | 17:21 |
| GrueMaster | prp_: It should be there. | 17:24 |
| GrueMaster | ubuntu@panda3:~$ apt-cache search minicom | 17:24 |
| GrueMaster | cutecom - Graphical serial terminal, like minicom | 17:24 |
| GrueMaster | minicom - friendly menu driven serial communication program | 17:24 |
| prp_ | thats exactly what i see | 17:25 |
| GrueMaster | ubuntu@panda4:~$ apt-cache madison minicom | 17:25 |
| GrueMaster | minicom | 2.5-2 | http://mirror.gruenet/ubuntu-ports/ precise/universe armhf Packages | 17:25 |
| GrueMaster | minicom | 2.5-2 | http://mirror.gruenet/ubuntu-ports/ precise/universe Sources | 17:25 |
| GrueMaster | Heh, local mirror, but should be identical to ports.u.c | 17:26 |
| prp_ | i opened ubuntu software manager and tried to install 7zip and it gave a button to use universe source. i clicked it, now minicom works as well | 17:27 |
| GrueMaster | Note to self, don't run minicom in a remote screen session. Key bindings are the same. | 17:32 |
| steev_ | GrueMaster: i normally use screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200, it gets confusing when i go a few screen sessions deep | 17:47 |
| GrueMaster | steev_: I was only testing minicom on panda to verify it ran. | 17:47 |
| steev_ | ahh | 17:47 |
| GrueMaster | I use screen for all my serial consols. | 17:48 |
| steev_ | i find it easier to use | 17:48 |
| steev_ | my buddy keeps trying to get me to switch to socat | 17:48 |
| GrueMaster | I'm actually going to look for some kind of serial console app that can multiplex. I need to have screen running, but I also want some script to be able to interact with netboot installs when needed. | 17:50 |
| GrueMaster | Not sure if I can just attach to the screen session in python. | 17:51 |

| xteejx_ | Hi guys, anyone here that can answer 1 or 2 quick questions about Ubuntu for arm please? | 21:49 |
| xteejx_ | The wiki states Ubutnu arm is for v7+, but I have an arm11 (v6). Is there no way I can get it on there? | 21:50 |
| GrueMaster | xteejx_: Sadly, no. But Debian is very similar and will support your hardware. | 21:51 |
| xteejx_ | GrueMaster, Damn :( | 21:51 |
| xteejx_ | I'll have a google around for debian related stuff then, thanks anyway for the pointer :) | 21:52 |
| GrueMaster | Good luck. | 21:52 |
| xteejx_ | lol thank you :) | 21:53 |
| Riddell | on what mailing list can I ask arm issues? | 22:53 |
| pbuckley | heh | 22:54 |
| pbuckley | i wonder how many raspberry pi people we will see in the upcoming weeks asking why ubuntu doesnt boot | 22:54 |
| lilstevie | pbuckley, heaps no doubt :p | 22:55 |
| pbuckley | btw anyone know of a good eq (per frequency adjustments)? | 22:56 |
| pbuckley | thats system wide | 22:56 |
| pbuckley | alsamixer seems to have some built in filters | 22:56 |
| pbuckley | but couldnt figure out how to change em | 22:56 |
| GrueMaster | Riddell: What arm issues? What platform? There are quite a few choices. | 22:58 |
| Riddell | GrueMaster: the one where my pandaboard doesn't boot with a precise install | 22:58 |
| pbuckley | using the right image? | 23:00 |
| GrueMaster | Riddell: First, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting section at http://pandaboard.org/content/resources/troubleshooting to make sure your system works and your environment is set up correctly. | 23:02 |
| GrueMaster | If everything goes well there, we can work to figure out why Ubuntu isn't working on your pandaboard. | 23:03 |
| Riddell | it works fine | 23:03 |
| Riddell | it does not work with precise | 23:03 |
| GrueMaster | What exactly doesn't work with Precise? (note that I frequently test the daily precise images). | 23:04 |
| Riddell | the same thing as last time we looked at it http://starsky.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/precice-arm-boot.txt | 23:05 |
| pbuckley | im running two pandaboards with precise | 23:05 |
| pbuckley | that looks like a bad sd card at first glance | 23:05 |
| Riddell | works fine with oneiric | 23:05 |
| pbuckley | well something is wrong with your setup | 23:06 |
| pbuckley | i assure you | 23:06 |
| pbuckley | sorry | 23:06 |
| pbuckley | bad day | 23:06 |
| pbuckley | ill be back later | 23:06 |
| GrueMaster | Which image is this? | 23:06 |
| GrueMaster | I'm not seeing this on today's daily image. | 23:07 |
| Riddell | armhf omap4 daily build from today for ubuntu-desktop, armhf omap4 daily build for when we last tested it, armel precise image from alpha 1 | 23:08 |
| Riddell | I know you're not. you weren't when we tested it the other day either. | 23:08 |
| GrueMaster | Hmm. It is possible you have a defective board, but I can't verify that. | 23:09 |
| Riddell | got a copy of the validation image? | 23:09 |
| GrueMaster | This is on first boot? | 23:09 |
| Riddell | yes, also on boot after upgrade from oneiric | 23:10 |
| GrueMaster | Not on me. It is at http://pandaboard.org/content/resources/troubleshooting | 23:10 |
| Riddell | that link doesn't work | 23:10 |
| GrueMaster | Try http://pandaboard.org. Click on RESOURCES. | 23:11 |
| GrueMaster | Or is it the gforge.ti link that is broken? | 23:11 |
| Riddell | yes | 23:12 |
| GrueMaster | Let's try in #pandaboard. | 23:16 |
| GrueMaster | Riddell: Well, that would explain the broken link. | 23:22 |
| Riddell | mm hmm | 23:22 |
| GrueMaster | So, do you have a more recent copy of the daily builds, or at least Beta 1? | 23:23 |
| GrueMaster | Also, can you download and try the ubuntu-server daily as well? I doubt it will change anything, but it would be useful to test. | 23:30 |
| * Riddell snoozes | 23:40 | |
