| danboid | How do I install http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux-meta-ti-omap4/linux-image-omap4_3.2.0.1408.8_armel.deb ? | 02:18 |
|---|---|---|
| danboid | The debs there are only a few k in size so is there a ppa I'm missing? | 02:19 |
| infinity | danboid: No. | 02:19 |
| infinity | danboid: It depends on the real kernel image. | 02:19 |
| GrueMaster | You want linux-ti-omap4. | 02:19 |
| infinity | danboid: No PPAs required, just apt-get install linux-image-omap4. | 02:19 |
| danboid | Nope - if I run that command it will install linux-image-3.0.0-1207-omap4 | 02:21 |
| danboid | which doesn't have ALSA seq | 02:21 |
| infinity | danboid: Because you're running oneiric. | 02:21 |
| GrueMaster | http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux-ti-omap4/linux-image-3.2.0-1409-omap4_3.2.0-1409.12_armhf.deb | 02:21 |
| infinity | danboid: 3.2.x is the precise kernel. | 02:22 |
| GrueMaster | infinity: He wants the precise kernel on Oneiric. | 02:22 |
| GrueMaster | http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux-ti-omap4/linux-image-3.2.0-1409-omap4_3.2.0-1409.12_armel.deb actually. | 02:22 |
| infinity | Sure, but if you want the precise kernel on oneiric, you shouldn't just manually install the debs, you should add precise sources and do some creative pinning. | 02:22 |
| infinity | Cause otherwise, you won't get upgrades. | 02:22 |
| GrueMaster | Upgrades are irrelevant when you are testing a specific feature of the kernel (Alsa Sequencers in this case if I'm not mistaken). | 02:23 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, Yep | 02:24 |
| danboid | I'll happily install precise the minute I know pvr is working but its not an option just yet | 02:25 |
| GrueMaster | Not sure that pvr will work with the kernel link I pointed to you either. | 02:26 |
| infinity | Oh, if you want PVR working, you need to install the 3.1 kernel from the tiomap-dev PPA. | 02:26 |
| infinity | It's the one that has the bits that go with their binary driver. | 02:27 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, Thanks for the link - I'm going to give that a go | 02:29 |
| === Termana is now known as Guest92708 | ||
| danboid | I was trying to get my panda to boot off usb and I've trashed my boot.scr although I did back up my old one so now I'm hoping I can fix u-boot on my PC? | 12:21 |
| danboid | Apparently I can use mkimage (from u-boot) to get things going again with a re-install? | 12:22 |
| danboid | without a re-install, sorry | 12:22 |
| danboid | I edited boot.scr directly instead of boot.script you see | 12:22 |
| danboid | prob vecause I was thinking 'this is never going to work' as I was doing so :) | 12:24 |
| danboid | Just about to try again re-configuring u-boot and I'll be mighty pissed if I have to do all this over again so just want to check a few things | 14:31 |
| danboid | I'm mainly following 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 | 14:32 |
| danboid | After editing boot.txt, is it just a case of running 'sudo flash-kernel' in the same folder as the u-boot config files? | 14:33 |
| danboid | ie the boot partition needn't be mounted somewhere specific or even unmounted when I run this? | 14:34 |
| danboid | I can't get buntu to boot off SSD on my Panda | 15:16 |
| danboid | u-boot ain't reconfiguring when I run 'sudo flash-kernel' | 15:17 |
| danboid | despite me having edited boot.txt | 15:17 |
| danboid | I've tried both /dev/sda1 and its volume name but its still booting off SD instead | 15:18 |
| danboid | wtf? | 15:18 |
| danboid | These instructions aren't working for me http://omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ#I_want_to_install_Ubuntu_on_external_USB_hard_disk_instead_of_sluggish_SD_card | 15:19 |
| danboid | because boot.script doesn't exist in my boot partition | 15:19 |
| danboid | Does he mean edit boot.txt? Thats what I've been trying with no luck | 15:19 |
| GrueMaster | danboid: Morning. Let me try to help (if you are still stuck). | 15:40 |
| danboid | Hi GrueMaster ! | 16:04 |
| GrueMaster | Morning. | 16:04 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, So I think I did get u-boot reconfigured but I'm not so sure I'll be able to boot off my SSD even though I can use it once booted | 16:04 |
| danboid | 'line disk installation timed out' is what I'm getting | 16:05 |
| GrueMaster | Hmmm. | 16:05 |
| GrueMaster | Were you able to rebuild your boot.scr file ok? | 16:05 |
| danboid | I think - I didn't see any errors | 16:08 |
| GrueMaster | Can you post any console log output? | 16:08 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, Yeah - give me a few minutes to move stuff and get you that.. | 16:09 |
| danboid | Its a 2.5" OCZ Octane S2 64GG SSD | 16:10 |
| danboid | but before I try would you know if the Linaro 12.02 desktop image outputs to serial console by default? | 16:13 |
| GrueMaster | I haven't used the Linaro images yet. Too busy testing my own. | 16:14 |
| jimerickson | the latest armhf+omap4 image is very stable on pandaboard ES. thank you ubuntu! | 16:41 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, http://pastebin.com/vuuNcseK | 16:43 |
| GrueMaster | danboid: I'm not sure why it is doing that, but I noticed in the boot cmdline that you have "root=pandadisk". Did you try changing that to "root=/dev/sda1"? | 16:48 |
| GrueMaster | Normally, we have it set to "root=UUID=<partition UUID>" | 16:50 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, I think I did but I'm going to try again as I may have had my u-boot config file in the wrong place - that guide I followed needs a fair bit of work | 16:50 |
| GrueMaster | The easiest way to edit the boot.scr is to first strip the u-boot crc stuff with "dd bs=72 skip=1 if=boot.scr of=boot.script". Then edit it as normal text. | 16:51 |
| GrueMaster | To make it a u-boot script, run "mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d boot.script boot.scr" and put the boot.scr back in partition 1 of the SD. | 16:52 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, Is this documented anywhere? The u-boot man page or online help doesn't tell you any of this | 16:54 |
| GrueMaster | I think I have it on our wiki, but others have moved stuff around lately without my knowledge. I'll have to look. | 16:54 |
| GrueMaster | Ah, they are still there. Little dated (the Serial console port ID has changed). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BeagleEditBootscr | 17:00 |
| GrueMaster | Also, if I read correctly, your usb drive is labeled pandadisk. To mount it by label, you need "root=LABEL=pandadisk". | 17:01 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, aha! I must admit i've never tried mounting by label before so that makes sense | 17:06 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, So this guide needs a thorough editing/ correcting http://omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ#I_want_to_install_Ubuntu_on_external_USB_hard_disk_instead_of_sluggish_SD_card | 17:07 |
| === Ursinha` is now known as Ursula | ||
| danboid | GrueMaster, I'll fix it up this weekend sometime if I can | 17:08 |
| === Ursula is now known as ursinha | ||
| === ursinha is now known as Ursinha | ||
| GrueMaster | Yea, well I only trust guides I write (most of the time). | 17:08 |
| GrueMaster | Also, the cp part would be far faster if you used "cd <sd mountpoint>;sudo tar -cf - .|(cd <usb mountpoint>;sudo tar -xf -)". This will give you a multithreaded copy that is usually 2x faster. | 17:10 |
| GrueMaster | One thing I wanted to create was a tool that when installed would step through partitioning your usb drive, then reboot and move the data from SDp2 to USB while still in the initrd. | 17:12 |
| GrueMaster | Never got around to it (way too busy). | 17:12 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, That sounds cool! | 17:42 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, Anyway, I've got my SSD booting fine now and there is a notable improvement all round | 17:42 |
| GrueMaster | Excellent! | 17:42 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, I'll correct that guide later today or tomorrow | 17:42 |
| GrueMaster | You can add my instructions on boot.scr editing if you want. I think it would be useful to others. | 17:43 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, I could do but I didn't try your tricks so maybe its best stick to what I know actually works? Tried and tested is the only way docs should be wrote | 17:45 |
| GrueMaster | I've been using those instructions almost daily since karmic. I originally wrote them early during Maverick. | 17:46 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, I'm not saying they don't work - I believe you | 17:47 |
| danboid | GrueMaster, but the existing instructions are just plain wrong in a few places | 17:47 |
| GrueMaster | At any rate, it's the weekend and I'm finding myself in my basement office trying to write a python script to generate checksums of a mysql database. Something seriously wrong here. | 17:48 |
| danboid | Yick! :/ | 17:48 |
| GrueMaster | Did I mention that this is my first Python script? | 17:48 |
| danboid | Nope! :) | 17:49 |
| GrueMaster | The script is to test the lamp stack and run workload stress runs. | 17:50 |
| GrueMaster | (I figured doing yet another Hello World script would be too easy). | 17:50 |
| GrueMaster | Started learning Python Monday, haven't used MySQL extensively since 2003... Can't be too hard, right? :P | 17:52 |
| danboid | I installed the Precise armel kernel under oneiric for panda and X worked on the first couple of boots but now it just says 'ti_hdmi_4xxx_detect: by detect line: 1 (1 == connected)' over and over preventing boot | 18:29 |
| danboid | Is there a fix or have I just gotta wait for the pvr driver to arrive in precise repos (+ kernel fix)? | 18:30 |
| infinity | danboid: I'm sure I've said this before, but if you want the TI binary drivers to work, you need to use the kernel from their PPA. | 18:39 |
| infinity | danboid: Unfortunate, but that's the route they chose to go. | 18:39 |
| danboid | infinity, but did you say I could recompile the same kernel version? | 18:40 |
| infinity | I don't think recompiling came up. :P | 18:40 |
| danboid | (and get pvr to work)? | 18:40 |
| danboid | infinity, Well I've tried the other options now | 18:40 |
| infinity | I'm not sure what you mean by "get pvr to work". If you mean "use the binary drivers from the TI PPA", then use the TI PPA kernel. | 18:40 |
| infinity | If you mean "make the display work at all", then our kernel (and nothing from the TI PPA) works too. | 18:41 |
| infinity | Any combination other than "Just Ubuntu bits" or "Just TI PPA bits" is likely to go pear-shaped. | 18:41 |
| danboid | infinity, I want ducati to work- does that depend on pvr? | 18:41 |
| infinity | I believe that requires the binary drivers, yes. | 18:41 |
| danboid | infinity, I'm quite happy to use the same version of the kernel used by the TI ppa if I can recompile it to get the modules I need | 18:42 |
| infinity | Their doesn't already include everything? | 18:43 |
| infinity | s/Their/Theirs/ | 18:43 |
| danboid | No ALSA sequencer | 18:43 |
| danboid | This is in the precise kernel as a module | 18:43 |
| infinity | When was that added? | 18:43 |
| danboid | Last few days? | 18:44 |
| infinity | The TI PPA kernel is 3.1 (not 3.0), so... Oh, if it's that new, no. :P | 18:44 |
| infinity | And unless you're prepared to backport the feature, you're probably out of luck there. | 18:44 |
| infinity | You might try bugging ndec about what's going on with the precise TI binary drivers. | 18:44 |
| infinity | Since they plan to ship a custom 3.3 kernel in their PPA for precise, if I recall. | 18:45 |
| infinity | Just not sure when. | 18:45 |
| infinity | Though, I do wonder how a feature that was just added a few days ago is something anyone "needs". | 18:45 |
| danboid | infinity, ALSA seq support has been around since forever - its not a new feature at all it just isn't in the ARM oneiric kernels | 18:45 |
| infinity | danboid: As in, it's just a config option you can flip? | 18:46 |
| danboid | infinity, yep | 18:46 |
| infinity | danboid: In that case, sure, you could rebuild the TI PPA kernels, they have the source in the PPA. | 18:46 |
| danboid | infinity, Great - thats my task for tonight then! | 18:46 |
| danboid | Thanks - bbl | 18:46 |
| prp | I have a pandaboard and a lilliput touch screen. This solution fixes the inverted touchscreen problem but the instructions are for x86 and i cannot find that package for arm. what can i do?http://www.autodeist.com/node/132 | 20:05 |
| prp | those instructions are for ubuntu x86* | 20:06 |
| GrueMaster | Try installing xserver-xorg-input-evdev | 20:41 |
| GrueMaster | Also, the instructions were written in 2009. Little out of date, considering recent X changes. | 20:43 |
| prp | Gruemaster evdev is already installed byt i cannot find the .fdi file to change | 21:02 |
| prp | usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/50-eGalax.fdi doesnt exist and i dont know what the equivalent is | 21:03 |
| GrueMaster | Yea, I think hal was fazed out in Lucid. | 21:06 |
| prp | i have 11.10 but under fdi/policy, there is only 10osvendor | 21:09 |
| GrueMaster | Have you tried using this device on an x86 system with the same Ubuntu release? | 21:21 |
| prp | no i didnt | 22:36 |
| prp | i need to use it with a panda | 22:36 |
| GrueMaster | I understand. Just trying to isolate this to either a Panda problem, an Ubuntu Arm problem, or an Ubuntu All problem. | 22:37 |
| GrueMaster | If it doesn't work in x86, it won't work in arm. | 22:37 |
| GrueMaster | (and I don't have one to play with). | 22:38 |
