lilstevieogra_: you said the other day that gles unity should be available in precise yes? is there something special you need to do?11:40
ogra_install compiz from -proposed (if it didnt move to -updates yet)11:41
ogra_(dont leave proposed enabled after that, it might see broken packages at times)11:41
marvin24ogra_: did you heard that (pre-alpha) hf drivers were released?11:42
ogra_oh, no, i didnt11:43
lilstevieok cool11:43
ogra_if they work, that might qualify for an SRU11:43
lilstevieyeah thats what I am running now11:43
lilsteviethey work ogra_11:43
ogra_awesome11:43
marvin24well, I only got unity 2d running but opengles works11:43
marvin24maybe need some more testers ...11:43
marvin24lilstevie: unity-3d?11:44
lilstevieI installed the nvidia-tegra package then pushed the hf drivers from the hf package over the top11:44
lilsteviethis is on tegra311:44
marvin24oh11:44
lilsteviemarvin24: no, that part is what I was just asking about11:44
ogra_marvin24, 3d only works with the compiz in -proposed/-updates11:44
marvin24ah, so it is not a driver problem11:44
ogra_(not sure where it currently is)11:44
ogra_shouldnt11:44
ogra_i know 3d works on the snowball as well as on the panda11:44
lilsteviebut it at least works for gles11:44
marvin24will test the new compiz later on11:45
ogra_so it should be driver independent11:45
marvin24btw, got kms and unity graphics running on 3.4-rc511:45
marvin24using the kms driver11:45
ogra_nice !11:45
lilstevieI really need to migrate my install to eMMC my micro is not running very fast11:46
ogra_only 2d i assume ?11:46
marvin24sure11:46
lilsteviemarvin24: nice, will have to wait for T3 support11:46
marvin24xf86-video-modeset driver11:46
ogra_does the kms driver have Xv support ?11:46
marvin24I think no, just basic init11:46
ogra_ah, k11:46
marvin24I hope some people from nv/nouveau will now jump upon this one11:47
ogra_yeah, that would be good11:47
lilsteviewill be interesting to see where it goes11:47
lilsteviebut should help cut the tether from nvidia11:47
* marvin24 think it will go up to the sky11:47
lilstevieif it weren't for the fb drivers we could be running the prime on mainline11:48
* ogra_ needs to commute from berlin back to kassel ... will be back in 2-4h (depending on traffic)11:52
=== Jack87|Away is now known as Jack87
lilstevieogra_: I updated to compiz in -proposed and ubuntu-2d13:44
lilstevieactaully my problem is probably related to alternatives14:48
lilsteviealternatives are not playing nice15:14
lilsteviemesa keeps taking priority for some reason15:14
prpplagueGrueMaster: ping15:57
GrueMasterprpplague: pong16:01
prpplagueGrueMaster: looking for a recent kernel that supports v4l for omap44xx, any idea if the ubuntu kernels support it?16:01
GrueMasterI think we disabled the driver because most pandas don't have them. I'm not sure, but I was told the TI-ppa kernel does have it.16:02
prpplaguegot a like to the TI-ppa kernel?16:03
GrueMasterbtw, I am no longer working on panda.  I'll share what knowledge I have for a while.16:03
GrueMasterI'll have to look for the link.  It was where the video drivers were.16:04
prpplagueGrueMaster: ahh right sorry i forgot16:05
GrueMasterHeh, I don't appear to have the back door link anymore.16:09
GrueMasterogra_:  ^^^16:09
ogra_prpplague, https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/omap-trunk or https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/release ...16:12
ogra_not sure which one16:12
ogra_and no idea if there is a v4l kernel ...16:12
prpplagueok thanks16:13
* prpplague is really surprised at the lack of support16:13
ogra_(thats all in TIs hand)16:13
ogra_we dont maintain the PPA contents16:14
prpplagueyea, just figured it would have been one of those items that was of value16:16
prpplagueogra_: can the current 12.04 release for panda play a mpeg2 video without any additional packages installed?22:04
ndecprpplague: i don't think so. mpeg2 decoder are provided by ffmpeg or libmpeg2 which aren't in the default 'free' image22:31
prpplaguendec: so you need to do an apt-get for those?22:32
ndecyep22:32
ndeci think you should install ubuntu-restricted-addons22:33
ndecthat should bring ffpmeg codecs, gst-ffmpeg , -bad and -ugly22:34
prpplaguendec: ok thanks22:38
prpplaguendec: i really didn't want to use the ubuntu builds but looks like i have no choice in the short term :(22:38
ndecwhat do you mean?22:39
prpplaguendec: was trying to setup some demo stuff to play back some videos without a gui, until i get all of that working, i'll have to use ubuntu22:40
ndecbut 12.04 won't give you v4l2 display...22:40
ndecyou will get s/w decoder, s/w color convert, s/w rendering...22:41
prpplagueno, but it will play a mpeg video22:41
ndecprpplague: btw, did you try gst without X?22:44
prpplaguendec: not as of yet, to many different combos of hwcomp, drm and such going on22:44
mythosthere is a framebuffersink for gstreamer22:45
ndecprpplague: indeed... i just checked in a fb console on my laptop (no panda with me).22:47
ndecyou can do : gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///home/<foo>/videofile, and it works...22:47
ndecyou need to be root in order to open /dev/fb0 though22:47
prpplaguendec: i'll have to look to see how big it is, what the dependencies are, and see if it breaks any of the other items22:48
ndecprpplague: well... mplayer -vo fbdev <video file> is working too.22:54
prpplaguehmm, i'll have to try a build of mplayer with oe to see what all it needs22:56
XorAmplayer is pretty self contained22:57
XorAand if you use the overlay fbdev it should be able to play video nicelay for you22:58
prpplaguehmm i'll see if can test that22:58
prpplagueall i need ot have available in the kernel is framebuffer support?22:59
XorApretty much22:59
XorAwell omap4 support and other drivers are useful as well22:59
XorAsurprised if you cant just generate what you need from narcissus23:00
prpplagueXorA: no combo really gives me what i need23:01
prpplaguethe whole thing has been completely frustrating23:01
prpplagueits the only item i've every had a major issue with on panda23:01
XorAwell if you will be picky :-D23:02
prpplagueXorA: my need is very simple, minimal rootfs that can play a video without any acceleration and without a gui23:05
XorAso what about that can narcissus not produce?23:05
XorAyou can have busybox + mplayer only if you want23:05
XorAbut this is a bit bad manners to discuss here :-)23:06
prpplagueXorA: oh? is there a checkbox i missed for more advanced options?23:06
XorAthe simple/advanced one I guess :-D23:06
XorAChoose the complexity of the options below.23:07
XorAthen you can bare bones23:08
prpplagueyea once i choose the minimal, i don't get a choice on the video options any more23:08
* prpplague checks again23:08
XorAthan add mplayer as aditional console package23:08
XorAor ffmpeg23:09
XorAor gstreamer23:09
XorAor pr0n viewer of you choosing :-D23:09
prpplagueXorA: like i said, it appears that it is removed when you choose console23:10
XorAget a new browser then, I have it here in front of me23:10
prpplagueXorA: yea it showed up after i refreshed23:11
XorAchrome/chromium by any chance?23:11
prpplagueXorA: isn't mplayer still dependent on v4l working?23:11
XorAprpplague: no? why should it be?23:12
XorAprpplague: I think you need more coffee dude23:12
prpplagueXorA: hmm23:12
prpplagueXorA: well this isn't my area of expertise23:12
prpplagueXorA: i know very little about video23:12
XorAv4l is for capture23:13
XorAv4l2 has some crazy play stuff stuck in it as well, but only crazy people use it :-D23:13
XorAreal men use mplayer -vo fbdev23:13
XorAif I remember the correct argument mplayer -vo fbdev:/dev/fb1 will even do the colour space conversion accellerated23:15
prpplagueahh, dandy i have been give totally useless information then23:15
* prpplague curses 23:15
XorAits not the best way to do it in normal use case23:15
XorAbut its how I used to do demos on zaurus23:16
XorAI thinks you need v4l2 if your using robclarks all sing dancing stuffs (or used to anyway)23:16
* XorA has never actually connected a panda to any form of display device :-D23:17
prpplagueXorA: testing now23:17
XorAin fact if OE still links mplayer with aalib you can even do -vo aa to get your video in ASCII :-D23:18
prpplagueXorA: i have been asking people all day about this, and everyone has given me totally different answers, hehe23:18
XorAhopefully this answer works for you :-D23:19
prpplagueXorA: worked first time23:20
prpplagueentire day wasted23:20
XorAwe all get days like that23:21
XorAand you can do pretty much the same thing with the ubuntu server image, just takes more disk space by default23:22
* XorA awards prpplague permission to have a beer now its working23:24
prpplague:)23:24
XorAanyway as its 00:30 here, time to sleep23:27
=== XorA is now known as XorA|gone
prpplagueXorA|gone: thanks!23:30
ndecprpplague: note that the entire day you've been asking how to get v4l2 to work to render videos ;-)23:35
prpplaguendec: because i was kept getting told that it was the only way to do it23:36
prpplaguendec: trust me i learned my lesson on it today23:37
ndechehe...23:37
ndecthen we will ask robclark to make a kms video output option in mplayer ;-)23:38
robclarkndec, I could update omapfbplay23:39
* prpplague slaps robclark with a dead fish23:43
* robclark slaps prpplague w/ a block of tofu23:46
