[09:48] ogra_: hi. do you mind if i cancel the call today? [09:49] if you think there is anything we need to discuss, let me know [10:23] ndec, feel free, i dont have anything special [13:05] is there anybody that has 5 minutes to help me with a xrandr issue? === yofel_ is now known as yofel === Quintasan is now known as trolllogger === trolllogger is now known as Quintasan [16:26] ogra_: yea, package updates have fixed my desktop issues! [16:26] awesome ! [16:27] ogra_: actually have to reload my box at home, i fudged up and hosed the permissions for /usr [16:27] ouch ! [16:37] 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] the one your release has already [16:38] danboid: What issues are you seeing? Precise Beta 1 works for both Panda/Panda ES ootb. [16:38] danboid, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [16:39] just use the source package [16:39] GrueMaster, None of the current Linaro or Canonical omap4 kernels have ALSA sequencer support compiled in or as a module [16:39] (which I just discovered is broken in the daily images...again.) [16:40] right, who needs MIDI anyway :P [16:40] as long as your mp3's play [16:40] danboid, thats seriously worth filing a bug though [16:41] 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] yeah, agreed, i was rather sarcastic above, not serious [16:41] I'm hoping to use if for music production anyway [16:42] so a) file a bug, b) follow the wiki t recompile the kernel package with a config change [16:42] ogra_, jk- said this has been fixed already [16:42] in the ubuntu package ? [16:42] ppisati, ^^^ did you enable alsa sequencer support in the config ? [16:42] ogra_, I presume so but he's not been around today to give more info [16:42] * ogra_ doesnt think so [16:44] If I want the pvr driver working am I best recompiling the standard kernel rather than going for the latest stable code? [16:45] i'm here [16:46] ppisati, I was told the latest omap4 kernel configs have ALSA sequencer support enabled now? [16:47] ppisati, If so, can I get a package anywhere of such a kernel yet? [16:50] danboid: I see CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m in the current precise kernel. [16:50] And CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=M as well. [16:50] sorry, was in a phone call [16:51] GrueMaster, That'd do me but I expect I can't install a precise kernel under oneiric can I? [16:51] 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] danboid: yes you can [16:51] Why not? [16:51] Hasn't armel been killed off in precise? [16:52] Just use the armel kernel variant (so as not to confuse dpkg). [16:52] Only the image builds. [16:52] Pool is still active, and I also regularly do netboot installs on my pandas for sanity checking. [16:52] we dont build armel images and we dont massively care for armel pacvkages either [16:53] the archive is still existing and wont go away [16:54] ppisati, I can get a package for 11.10 armel with the snd-seq compiled as a module? [16:54] danboid: get the P kernel [16:54] ppisati, ? Link? [16:55] ppisati, please! [16:57] 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] ppisati, Thanks v. much! Will be trying that tonight! :) [17:04] Thanks for your help guys! [17:21] 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 [17:24] prp_: It should be there. [17:24] ubuntu@panda3:~$ apt-cache search minicom [17:24] cutecom - Graphical serial terminal, like minicom [17:24] minicom - friendly menu driven serial communication program [17:25] thats exactly what i see [17:25] ubuntu@panda4:~$ apt-cache madison minicom [17:25] minicom | 2.5-2 | http://mirror.gruenet/ubuntu-ports/ precise/universe armhf Packages [17:25] minicom | 2.5-2 | http://mirror.gruenet/ubuntu-ports/ precise/universe Sources [17:26] Heh, local mirror, but should be identical to ports.u.c [17:27] 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 [17:32] Note to self, don't run minicom in a remote screen session. Key bindings are the same. [17:47] GrueMaster: i normally use screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200, it gets confusing when i go a few screen sessions deep [17:47] steev_: I was only testing minicom on panda to verify it ran. [17:47] ahh [17:48] I use screen for all my serial consols. [17:48] i find it easier to use [17:48] my buddy keeps trying to get me to switch to socat [17:50] 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. [17:51] Not sure if I can just attach to the screen session in python. === mahmoh1 is now known as mahmoh [21:49] Hi guys, anyone here that can answer 1 or 2 quick questions about Ubuntu for arm please? [21:50] The wiki states Ubutnu arm is for v7+, but I have an arm11 (v6). Is there no way I can get it on there? [21:51] xteejx_: Sadly, no. But Debian is very similar and will support your hardware. [21:51] GrueMaster, Damn :( [21:52] I'll have a google around for debian related stuff then, thanks anyway for the pointer :) [21:52] Good luck. [21:53] lol thank you :) [22:53] on what mailing list can I ask arm issues? [22:54] heh [22:54] i wonder how many raspberry pi people we will see in the upcoming weeks asking why ubuntu doesnt boot [22:55] pbuckley, heaps no doubt :p [22:56] btw anyone know of a good eq (per frequency adjustments)? [22:56] thats system wide [22:56] alsamixer seems to have some built in filters [22:56] but couldnt figure out how to change em [22:58] Riddell: What arm issues? What platform? There are quite a few choices. [22:58] GrueMaster: the one where my pandaboard doesn't boot with a precise install [23:00] using the right image? [23:02] 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. [23:03] If everything goes well there, we can work to figure out why Ubuntu isn't working on your pandaboard. [23:03] it works fine [23:03] it does not work with precise [23:04] What exactly doesn't work with Precise? (note that I frequently test the daily precise images). [23:05] the same thing as last time we looked at it http://starsky.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/precice-arm-boot.txt [23:05] im running two pandaboards with precise [23:05] that looks like a bad sd card at first glance [23:05] works fine with oneiric [23:06] well something is wrong with your setup [23:06] i assure you [23:06] sorry [23:06] bad day [23:06] ill be back later [23:06] Which image is this? [23:07] I'm not seeing this on today's daily image. [23:08] 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] I know you're not. you weren't when we tested it the other day either. [23:09] Hmm. It is possible you have a defective board, but I can't verify that. [23:09] got a copy of the validation image? [23:09] This is on first boot? [23:10] yes, also on boot after upgrade from oneiric [23:10] Not on me. It is at http://pandaboard.org/content/resources/troubleshooting [23:10] that link doesn't work [23:11] Try http://pandaboard.org. Click on RESOURCES. [23:11] Or is it the gforge.ti link that is broken? [23:12] yes [23:16] Let's try in #pandaboard. [23:22] Riddell: Well, that would explain the broken link. [23:22] mm hmm [23:23] So, do you have a more recent copy of the daily builds, or at least Beta 1? [23:30] 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. [23:40] * Riddell snoozes
