[02:18] <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 ?
[02:19] <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.
[02:21] <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
[02:22] <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.
[02:23] <GrueMaster> Upgrades are irrelevant when you are testing a specific feature of the kernel (Alsa Sequencers in this case if I'm not mistaken).
[02:24] <danboid> GrueMaster, Yep
[02:25] <danboid> I'll happily install precise the minute I know pvr is working but its not an option just yet
[02:26] <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.
[02:27] <infinity> It's the one that has the bits that go with their binary driver.
[02:29] <danboid> GrueMaster, Thanks for the link - I'm going to give that a go
[12:21] <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?
[12:22] <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
[12:24] <danboid> prob vecause I was thinking 'this is never going to work' as I was doing so :)
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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?
[14:34] <danboid> ie the boot partition needn't be mounted somewhere specific or even unmounted when I run this?
[15:16] <danboid> I can't get buntu to boot off SSD on my Panda
[15:17] <danboid> u-boot ain't reconfiguring when I run 'sudo flash-kernel'
[15:17] <danboid> despite me having edited boot.txt
[15:18] <danboid> I've tried both /dev/sda1 and its volume name but its still booting off SD instead
[15:18] <danboid> wtf?
[15:19] <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
[15:40] <GrueMaster> danboid: Morning.  Let me try to help (if you are still stuck).
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <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?
[16:08] <danboid> I think - I didn't see any errors
[16:08] <GrueMaster> Can you post any console log output?
[16:09] <danboid> GrueMaster, Yeah - give me a few minutes to move stuff and get you that..
[16:10] <danboid> Its a 2.5" OCZ Octane S2 64GG SSD
[16:13] <danboid> but before I try would you know if the Linaro 12.02 desktop image outputs to serial console by default?
[16:14] <GrueMaster> I haven't used the Linaro images yet.  Too busy testing my own.
[16:41] <jimerickson> the latest armhf+omap4 image is very stable on pandaboard ES. thank you ubuntu!
[16:43] <danboid> GrueMaster, http://pastebin.com/vuuNcseK
[16:48] <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"?
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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.
[16:52] <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.
[16:54] <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.
[17:00] <GrueMaster> Ah, they are still there.  Little dated (the Serial console port ID has changed).  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BeagleEditBootscr
[17:01] <GrueMaster> Also, if I read correctly, your usb drive is labeled pandadisk.  To mount it by label, you need "root=LABEL=pandadisk".
[17:06] <danboid> GrueMaster, aha! I must admit i've never tried mounting by label before so that makes sense
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <danboid> GrueMaster, I'll fix it up this weekend sometime if I can
[17:08] <GrueMaster> Yea, well I only trust guides I write (most of the time).
[17:10] <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.
[17:12] <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).
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <GrueMaster> You can add my instructions on boot.scr editing if you want.  I think it would be useful to others.
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <GrueMaster> I've been using those instructions almost daily since karmic.  I originally wrote them early during Maverick.
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <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?
[17:49] <danboid> Nope! :)
[17:50] <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).
[17:52] <GrueMaster> Started learning Python Monday, haven't used MySQL extensively since 2003...  Can't be too hard, right?  :P
[18:29] <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
[18:30] <danboid> Is there a fix or have I just gotta wait for the pvr driver to arrive in precise repos (+ kernel fix)?
[18:39] <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.
[18:40] <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.
[18:41] <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.
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <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.
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <prp> those instructions are for ubuntu x86*
[20:41] <GrueMaster> Try installing xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[20:43] <GrueMaster> Also, the instructions were written in 2009.  Little out of date, considering recent X changes.
[21:02] <prp> Gruemaster evdev is already installed byt i cannot find the .fdi file to change
[21:03] <prp> usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/50-eGalax.fdi doesnt exist and i dont know what the equivalent is
[21:06] <GrueMaster> Yea, I think hal was fazed out in Lucid.
[21:09] <prp> i have 11.10 but under fdi/policy, there is only 10osvendor
[21:21] <GrueMaster> Have you tried using this device on an x86 system with the same Ubuntu release?
[22:36] <prp> no i didnt
[22:36] <prp> i need to use it with a panda
[22:37] <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.
[22:38] <GrueMaster> (and I don't have one to play with).
