[08:32] <ujee> Hi!  I have a horrible experience with 12.04 armhf on my pandaboard..  I was untarring a file, got a segfault, it slowed down a lot. managed to open uxterm, execute "dmesg", now it seems unable to spawn processes (my guess), I can toy with X11 though...
[08:34] <ujee> Anything I can try to find out, before I pull the plug?   (ssh logs in, but shell does not spawn. X11 windows don't close)
[08:57] <ujee> nevermind.. turning on the screen again is among the stuff that's stuck
[11:05] <ujee> Another question - has anyone working sound output with 12.04 armhf on pandaboard?  (since I don't and I have no clue how to debug)
[18:00] <ujee> What about pandaboard's ethernet randomly getting stuck?  any cure to that?
[18:19] <TypoNAM> ujee: tried ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0 ?
[18:19] <ujee> helps for a while
[18:20] <TypoNAM> tried a different port on the switch/hub it is connected to? it might be a bad port on the switch/hub its self
[18:20] <ujee> doubt that.. got a brand new
[18:20] <ujee> but sure, I can try
[18:21] <TypoNAM> how often does the problem occurr?
[18:22] <ujee> when idle, then never, when streaming a tv channel,    roughly once per hour?
[18:23] <TypoNAM> are you up to date on the kernel of the distribution you're using?
[18:23] <ujee> armhf...
[18:24] <ujee> afk...
[18:24] <TypoNAM> what OS/distribution are you using on that board? :P
[18:28] <ujee> ubuntu of course , 12.04 armhf, TypoNAM
[18:30] <TypoNAM> and you have checked for updates, right?
[18:32] <ujee> y
[18:32] <ujee> newest omap4 kernel
[18:33] <ujee> but i had that issue in 11.11 and 12.04 armel  too..
[18:33] <TypoNAM> hmmm :/
[18:33] <ujee> do you think my panda is defective or something
[18:35] <ujee>   (fully back to keyboard)
[19:02] <ujee> it hasn't died yet (after switching the switch port..    but it's really weird that it would be the issue..   the cable might be bad, though)
[21:29] <Haikarainen> y helo thar! anyone wanna help me find a good driver for the PowerVR SGX 540 running pandaboard on ubuntu 11.10?
[21:29] <Haikarainen> booting from SD-Card, rootfs on USB->SSD Disk, I have ubuntu-omap4-extras installed, es2_info seems to be working, glxinfo as well (even though it says its software rasterizing, wich is my problem)
[21:43] <TypoNAM> OpenGL ES is not OpenGL, glxinfo is OpenGL only, es2_info is OpenGL ES only
[21:43] <TypoNAM> PowerVR SGX only does OpenGL ES hardware acceleration
[21:45] <Haikarainen> So that could be the reason xbmc is like 0.4 fps for me ?
[21:46] <Haikarainen> es2_info recognizes the right renderer though
[21:46] <TypoNAM> does xbmc use OpenGL?
[21:48] <Haikarainen> TypoNAM: I think so, dont know if its compatible with ES but i compiled it myself so if it is its probably a configuratiionissue
[21:49] <Haikarainen> I know xbmc should have no problems getting a decent framerate on pandaboard es though
[21:49] <TypoNAM> it might be, I'm not sure what all is available for video drawing acceleration for pandaboard
[21:52] <stgraber> Haikarainen: you'll want to build it with --enable-opengles (or --enable-gles not sure) and --enable-neon
[21:53] <stgraber> Haikarainen: my xbmc here runs perfectly smoothly in 1080p, it just gets a bit slow when decoding some 720p videos (and is almost unusable on 1080p content)
[21:53] <stgraber> IIRC you have a pre-built version of xbmc with GLES support in the linaro overlay PPA (be sure to just pick these packages and not the whole overlay, unless you want the rest of all the linaro backports)
