angsI am trying to install a driver on ubuntu-desktop 12.04 on beagleboard-xm.  When I type "make", I get the following error http://pastebin.com/wRqt7X3R  that links to wrong directory. It links to ...arch/armv7l/Makefile directory instead of arch/arm/Makefile   .. This is the Makefile of the driver installation file (not .../arch/arm/Makefile directory) http://pastebin.com/s9TJ9uk2   . What line do I need to change in the makefile in order to fix t11:04
angshe link problem?11:04
angsor if I change the directory name ../arm/Makefile to /armv7l/Makefile by manual, would it cause further problems?11:04

steevangs: ARCH=armv7l is wrong, the kernel only knows about arm15:11
angssteev: thank you, I solved it as you told by changing the make file15:20
steevangs: why not use the driver that's in the kernel (or compat-wireless)?15:20
janimoogra_, has the daily image spinning stopped? I see latest is jun 2915:26
ogra_update-xapian-index errored out15:26
ogra_so all images failed for a while15:26
angsI am trying to use the usb doggle in the ad-hoc mode, I was able to connect to my access point without installing any extra package. However, I could not use it on the ad-hoc mode. I thought I should install the driver that came with the wifi dongle. But, I still cannot use it in the ad hoc mode. I am using these commands: http://pastebin.com/kTMkgCDx  I wonder if someone can tell me what is wrong with the settings or what can I do to use the wif15:31
angsi dongle in ad-hoc mode. the doggle is micronext mn-wd 152B that has RTL8188CUS chipset.15:31
ogra_not really an arm specific problem ... did you search the wiki for setting up ad-hoc ?15:33
angsI used this instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc15:34
angsit is not arm-related, I also tried it on my laptop (ubuntu 12.04), it did not work. maybe there is someone that has experience in setting the dongle in ad-hoc mode could advise me what to do15:36
* ogra_ never used ad-hoc, sorry, cant help15:36
angsthank you, I will try my chance on #beagle15:37
steevsame, i've been using wireless cards since way back when, never bothered with ad-hoc15:44

Chipacais python-matplotlib just not built for armhf?15:59
ogra_what source package would that be in ?16:03
=== zyga is now known as zyga-afk
Chipacaogra_: matplotlib16:28
Chipacai'm currently rebuilding ghc because it's missing some binaries on armhf, also16:28
Chipacaso can't really rebuild that too :)16:28
janimoChipaca, did you find why ghc does not include runhaskell, oversight or intentional?16:32
Chipacajanimo: no16:32
Chipacajanimo: i'm just blindly rebuilding16:32
Chipacajanimo: because i couldn't really look into the packaging until tonight16:32
Chipacaso if it's done by tonight, i'll know more than if i didn't rebuild :)16:32
janimoChipaca, unless it is an oversight the maintainers may have had a reason for it, ghc was not as well tested on ARM as elsewhere16:33
Chipacajanimo: i'm hoping it's an oversight, becaue it's not much use without that :)16:34
janimoChipaca, precise or quantal?16:34
Chipacajanimo: precise16:36
janimoChipaca, you may want to tweak mk/config.mk.in in the ghc package. It has ArchSupportsGHCi= which says which arch ghci and other commands are built on16:55
janimorunhaskell goes in only if there's an interpreter built16:55
janimoso you need to buld with armhf added there ans see if there's a bug16:55
janimoor just a historical ommission :)16:55
Chipacajanimo: awsome, thank you16:58
janimoChipaca, hopefully it should just work and then a patch can be applied upstream :)16:59
janimoChipaca, I just googled it an apparently ghci on arm is being worked on, so not yet17:00

Chipacagah17:06
Chipacajanimo: so now i need to figure out how to build things which have runhaskell as the how-to-build17:12
Chipacaand i know just enough haskell to know that's not going to be fun17:12
* Chipaca suddenly realized he knows haskellites at the university who own the same computer he has17:12
* Chipaca runs to find them17:12
Chipacahuh17:22
Chipacaghc --make17:22
Chipacaogra_: any news re matplotlib?17:24
scienteswhere is the apckages.ubuntu.com for ports?17:34
mythosscientes, apt-get install apt-file17:34
scientesmythos, that is entirely differn't17:35
mythosdifferent from what?17:35
scientespackages.ubuntu.com17:35
mythosports.ubuntu.com is not indexed on packages.ubuntu.com. but you can use apt-file instead17:35
scientesoh shitty17:35
scienteseven emdebian has a packages.debian.org alt17:36
mythosapt-file is a really neat tool. don't be shy, you are going to love it17:36
scientesi refuse to use it, cause i don't like extra databases17:36
scientesi use dpkg -S instead17:36
scientesand packages.debian.org/file:foo17:36
scientesalso, rapt-file doesn't work17:37
mythosapt-file downloads only the contents.gz from your repo.17:37
mythosdid you an apt-file update first?17:38
mythosthen apt-file search <you name it>17:38
scientesthe whole point of rapt-file is that it doesn't need a database17:38
mythosrapt-file?17:38
scientesits part of the apt-file package *remote*17:38
mythosyeah, ok17:38
scientesmost of my uses of p.d.org etc are about getting up-to-date info17:39
scienteswhich is another reason apt-file just doesn't cut it17:39
mythosan apt-file update is so hard?17:39
scientesno, cause its backwards for what i'm doing17:39
scientesand it only works on the same arch and dist as your computer17:40
mythosok... then you could set up an equivalent for packages.ubuntu.com for ports?17:40
scientesp.foo.bar works everwhere17:40
mythosno, that's nonsense17:40
mythosyou can specifiy an sources.list and an cache folder17:40
scienteslike, you can download a debian package from it, and use it on ubuntu , etc17:40
scientesoh for apt-file17:41
mythosdon't know what you mean with "p.foo.bar works everywhere"17:41
