ppisatiogra_: what was your problem with panda's led?08:49
=== zyga-gone is now known as zyga
ppisatiogra_: what was your problem with panda's led?10:01
ogra_ppisati, they arent in the initrd we build for resizing, so if the screen is broken you dont really see that the board is doing something apart from the NIC LEDs10:02
ppisatiogra_: why they aren't in installer initrd?10:03
ogra_(rootfs only gets mounted after the next reboot)10:03
ogra_good question, i bet because the initramfs-tools scripts dont have any clue about led_gpio10:04
ogra_but beyond that i dont understand why we dont build all driver for HW the board has into the kernel anyway10:05
ogra_*drivers10:05
ppisatiogra_: actually that was compiled in in P10:05
ogra_its a single purpose kernel, all pandas should have the same HW so we could save the boot time to load modules10:06
ogra_i see led_gpio with lsmod ...10:06
ppisatiyep10:06
ogra_oh, in P10:06
ppisatiupdateconfigs turned it =m i guess10:07
ogra_well, its not overly important, its just showing explicitly due to the monitor issue10:07
ppisatiyeah10:07
ogra_otherwise i wouldnt even have noticed10:07
ppisatianyway10:07
ppisatilet's compile it in10:07
ppisatiactually10:07
ogra_yeah10:07
ppisatii would like to know how our initramfs are populated10:08
ppisatiwhat if, for example, i want to add module xyz?10:08
twbppisati: initramfs-tools has pretty extensive docs10:08
twbYou add a build-time hook that says something like 'require_mod xyz'.  I forget the exact details10:08
ogra_take a look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions10:09
ogra_that has the functions that loop over modules10:09
ogra_and decide if they need to be pulled in or not10:09
ogra_(with a lot of hardcoding in "auto_add_modules")10:10
ogra_i assume we should add an auto_add_modules gpio function for gpio drivers10:11
ogra_(initramfs-tools defaults to MODULES=most which in turn uses the auto_add_modules function)10:12
twbIIRC you can even just list extra modules you want in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules or so10:14
ogra_twb, we are talking about the default behavior ...10:15
ogra_the configs are just overrides10:15
ogra_we usually never use them in official images10:15
_william_hi all10:36
_william_I would like to know if there exist a flashplayer (free or nonfree) for ARM architecture ?10:37
ogra_yes, but only for companies that sign contracts with adobe (i.e. most android phones come with flash)10:41
_william_ok thanks10:42
ogra_there are free alternatives ... some of them work so so ... some are totally unusable ... (look for gnash or lightspark)10:42
_william_i'm first going to ask my hardware manufacturer if they have a player they can ship with the terminal10:43

marvin24[22:40:54] <janimo> marvin24, here is hangs after Freeing init memory: 336K12:01
marvin24yes, there is a known problem with the console12:01
marvin24but I don't know how to solve it12:01
ogra_make plymouthd unexecutable12:02
marvin24I mean solve it in the kernel12:02
marvin24not back userspace hack12:02
janimomarvin24, so how come only mine does not boot if it is aknown problem?12:02
* ogra_ hasnt opened a bug for that yet but plans to look into it before final release12:02
janimoogra_, so you have 3.1 booting, did you need some hack around it?12:02
ogra_janimo, i forgot about telling you :) mine wouldnt boot either if i hadnt changed that months ago12:03
marvin24dito12:03
janimosigh, I could have used this info in the ml thread :)12:03
ogra_sorry12:03
janimoI thought 3.1 was ready to upload from all points of view12:03
janimonp, dealing with these things sucks and prone to forgetting stuff :)12:03
janimoso there is no point trying to upload now since it would not boot on stock ubuntu12:04
ogra_well, by all means upload it, i can work around in the ac100 installer for the time being12:04
janimoah, so upload but not make it default yet ?Fine12:04
ogra_i'm also not sure its necessarily a kernel issue, might actually be plymouth12:05
janimoogra_, btw do you know about arm chroots via qemu-static on x86? Any way to tell it to use many CPUs for use in cross building?12:05
ogra_i dont think anyone has debugged it deeply yet12:05
janimoI do such a build now but it seems the default is single CPU, and slooow kernel build12:05
ogra_hmm, i never tried multiple build threads12:05
marvin24ogra_: event the android device people (for android 4.0) see this problem12:06
marvin24but android doesn't care12:06
ogra_ah12:06
janimomarvin24, so making plymouthd executable is the workaround?12:07
ogra_unexecutable ...12:08
janimoah12:08
marvin24I somehow did it different I think12:08
marvin24dpkg -r plymouth also worked ...12:08
ogra_i moved mine to .orig and linked the actual plymouthd to /dev/null12:08
ogra_err12:08
ogra_/bin/true, sorry12:08
janimois there some command line arg to deactivate plymouth?12:10
janimokernel cmdline that is12:11
ogra_nope12:11
ogra_you could try dropping splash but i think that still fires off plymouthd from mountall12:11
ogra_once the rootfs is mounted12:11
ogra_since plymouth acts as UI to mountall12:11
janimoyes, I boot without splash to see the error messages12:16

angsdoes anyone else have problem with ssh to the embedded board, most of the time ubuntu-arm refuses the ssh connection12:42
lilsteviejanimo: ogra_ yeah I had to move plymouthd to .orig and link to /bin/true also for the transformer prime on 3.112:46
lilstevienvidia broke something12:46
janimolilstevie, thanks, good to have another confirmation12:47
janimois this true for later kernels too?12:47
lilsteviejanimo: 3.1 is the latest we have running on the tf201\12:47
lilstevietf201*12:48
janimowhat about tf101 ?12:48
janimoso it is not a tegra2 only thing even12:48
lilstevieno it is a tegra thing in general12:49
lilstevieand we (androidroot) haven't applied the technique to update kernel yet to the tf10112:50
lilsteviethe only 3.1 ports are by people who have sketchy reps at best12:50

ogra_ndec, is there any way we can tell 4460 and 4470 pandas apart by looking at the board ?14:45

GrueMasterndec: Did you ever get my Blaze?  I wanted to confirm it was received.15:47
angsI have 5 embedded board that runs ubuntu, none of them gets IP when I plug the ethernet cable. Ethernet led is always red although the cable is plugged. I checked the cable and connection, it works. if I use another linux distribution (e.g. angstroms dist.), eth0 interface gets IP. what should I do?16:31
GrueMasterangs: First, what board (there are a few out there). second is this an Ubuntu kernel?16:32
angsI use beaglebone and loaded images according to the instruction here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Precise_12.04_armhf16:34
angsI can not connect to the board now, it should be 3.2.0 kernel16:34
angsI was connected one of them after hundred attempts, ubuntu was working fine16:36
GrueMasterWell, I know the beaglebone doesn't use an Ubuntu kernel, so you won't get much support here (sorry).  Try asking on #beagle.16:38
GrueMasterThe only other suggestion would be to see what ethtool reports when the cable is plugged in.16:39
angs#beagle people use angstroms dist which sucks and very problematic.16:40
ogra_well, rcn-ee is often here, i guess its his kernel you use16:40
angshow can I access ethtool?16:40
ogra_he should be able to help you with issues16:40
angsyes what is his nick?16:40
angsthanks ogra_ it is good to know16:40
ogra_his nick is rcn-ee16:41
ogra_he is usually also in #beagle though16:41
angsthank you16:41

* ogra_ doesnt think anyone tests wxgtk :/17:40
murianiin 11.10 specifically, haven't tried 11.04, and 12.04's armhf doesn't play well what I'm doing17:40
murianiNeko: DUDE!17:40
muriani:D17:40
Nekoyou know if you asked nicely I could have sent you an Efika :)17:40
murianihahahaha17:40
murianiI have one!17:41
Nekothe PPC one, I'm sure?17:41
NekoI meant the ARM one17:41
murianioh wait, you mean an MX :P17:41
murianianyhoo, anyone had experience with trying to run gnuradio stuff in ubuntu recently?18:06
murianiother than me.18:06
angsI have followed the all methods on http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu to install ubuntu to my board(beagleboard). I get "unable to open a folder for boot" error each time as it is seen here http://i47.tinypic.com/33wr0k1.png Is it a something that I should be worry or is it an unimportant error?20:18
scienteswhaaaaa21:59
scienteswhy is it using xdg-utils22:00
lilsteviejanrinze: sure, just submit a pull request, I will evaluate, and if it gets rejected I will also give you a comment on why22:05
