| infinity | pbuckley: Looking at the specs, there's a fair chance that any work done by people on the tf201 might Just Work on the tf700, but hard to tell without hardware. | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| infinity | That display sure looks nice, though. | 00:04 |
| pbuckley | cool ill check out whats going on with tf201 and see if i can use any of it as a jumping board | 00:11 |
| pbuckley | yeh the display is beautiful | 00:11 |
| pbuckley | loving the hardware.. android isn't cutting it though | 00:11 |

| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: now tried the netboot installer several times an two brand new 16g sd cards. never finished, always failed during the "select and install software" step. | 11:55 |
| ogra_ | weird, worked for three people during the past two days | 11:56 |
| ogra_ | anything in dmesg or syslog ? | 11:56 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: no idea. will try the preinstalled server image now | 11:57 |
| ogra_ | (syslog is on tty4 if you do a console install, on serial you need to check the file) | 11:57 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: i can look on one of the two cards in a few moment | 11:57 |
| ogra_ | there is no preinstalled server image anymore | 11:57 |
| ogra_ | its dead | 11:57 |
| ogra_ | only a normal daily server | 11:57 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: i've got a copy of the 12.04 omap4hf already here. | 11:58 |
| ogra_ | (all arm images are now identical to their x86 pendants, desktop -> live, server -> alternate with squashfs, netboot -> well, netboot) | 11:58 |
| ogra_ | if you downloaded anything called preinstalled thats several weeks old and 99% positively uninstallable | 11:59 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: strange, my ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-server-armhf+omap4.img.gz here is the only thing that ever worked. | 11:59 |
| ogra_ | oh, 12.04 ... sorry | 11:59 |
| LetoThe2nd | ok, got one of the cards with failed netboot ready now. | 12:00 |
| LetoThe2nd | the file in use was boot.img-serial.gz | 12:01 |
| ogra_ | and you zcat'ed it as root to the SD | 12:01 |
| ogra_ | ? | 12:01 |
| LetoThe2nd | sure. | 12:01 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: you meant checkout the second partition on the sd card and there /var/log, right? | 12:03 |
| ogra_ | looking at http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer-armhf/current/images/omap4/netboot/ the serial image definitely has a partition | 12:03 |
| LetoThe2nd | i really have no idea whats broken. it never finished the installer successfully. | 12:04 |
| LetoThe2nd | hm, now preinstalled also fails with /dev/mmcblk0p2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. | 12:04 |
| LetoThe2nd | something is really going on here. | 12:05 |
| ogra_ | booting ... | 12:05 |
| LetoThe2nd | *sigh* now giving today's boot.img_serial.gz one more try. | 12:06 |
| LetoThe2nd | logged in as root, i do "zcat boot.img-serial.gz > /dev/sdd", then sync | 12:06 |
| ogra_ | todays should definitely work | 12:06 |
| LetoThe2nd | i'm starting to believe in bad karma, broken feng shui or black magic. | 12:07 |
| ogra_ | heh, probably | 12:07 |
| ogra_ | hmm, my install doesnt seem to progress | 12:08 |
| ogra_ | and i have a suspicion ... | 12:08 |
| LetoThe2nd | booted fine, language and locale select fine, network config fine. | 12:08 |
| ogra_ | oh, it moved now | 12:08 |
| ogra_ | just took a while to do whatever it did | 12:08 |
| LetoThe2nd | archive setup fine | 12:08 |
| ogra_ | "Loading additiona componnents" now | 12:09 |
| ogra_ | user setup done | 12:10 |
| ogra_ | partitioning done (picked guided for the usb key) | 12:11 |
| LetoThe2nd | user setup done, no home encryption | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | same here | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | i largely just go with the defaults | 12:13 |
| LetoThe2nd | same here. | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | its installing the base system now | 12:13 |
| LetoThe2nd | guided partitioning, using MMC/SD card #1 (mmcblk0) - 16.1 GB SD SDC | 12:13 |
| ogra_ | oh, not sure that will work, good luck :) | 12:14 |
| ogra_ | bug 1025420 | 12:14 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1025420 in ubiquity "AssertionError: Returned to partman/choose_partition with nothing to do" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1025420 | 12:14 |
| ogra_ | though thats a quantal desktop install | 12:14 |
| ogra_ | but they both use the same backends | 12:15 |
| ogra_ | he picked a pre-created partition on a live image though | 12:15 |
| LetoThe2nd | seems like it is stuck doing mkfs.ext4 on mmcblk0p2 | 12:23 |
| ogra_ | give it some time ... big slow media etc | 12:26 |
| LetoThe2nd | too much time already. | 12:27 |
| LetoThe2nd | sd led also shows no activity. | 12:27 |
| ogra_ | ah | 12:27 |
| ogra_ | my LEDs are both solid green here | 12:27 |
| ogra_ | i dont think we have the modules in d-i to use them | 12:27 |
| LetoThe2nd | just to be sure, redownloaded qq's boot.img-serial.gz now and starting over again. | 12:29 |
| ogra_ | well, installing to mmc will likely have the same issue there | 12:29 |
| ogra_ | and i bet if you check the logs you would see a similar error as in the bug | 12:29 |
| LetoThe2nd | now its "installing the base system" | 12:36 |
| ogra_ | to MMC ? | 12:37 |
| LetoThe2nd | yep | 12:37 |
| ogra_ | intresting | 12:37 |
| LetoThe2nd | nope, installing. | 12:37 |
| ogra_ | did you keep the existing partition intact ? | 12:37 |
| LetoThe2nd | nope. | 12:37 |
| ogra_ | heh | 12:37 |
| ogra_ | oh, but you created a vfat in the beginning of the SD i hope | 12:37 |
| ogra_ | it wont do that automatically | 12:38 |
| LetoThe2nd | it creates an ext2 in the beginning. | 12:38 |
| ogra_ | thats /boot | 12:38 |
| ogra_ | doesnt help | 12:38 |
| ogra_ | you need a vaft to boot from | 12:38 |
| LetoThe2nd | ah yes, now we're getting closer. | 12:38 |
| ogra_ | if you dont have that partiton flash-kernel-installer will fall over | 12:39 |
| ogra_ | it tries to mount -t vfat i think | 12:39 |
| lilstevie | LetoThe2nd: I have seen the unexpected inconsistency message every second boot on my tf201, no idea whats causing it but I wonder if there is something going on (booting with single and fscking the volume fixes it) | 12:39 |
| LetoThe2nd | so basically the automagic partitioning does not work, and one needs to take care that a vfat partition with, say 64mb or such is in place, right? | 12:39 |
| ogra_ | automagic partition only works if you install to USB and leave the SD as "boot floppy/fake NAND" | 12:40 |
| LetoThe2nd | lilstevie: there's more going on here. :( | 12:40 |
| lilstevie | hm :/ | 12:40 |
| ogra_ | if you want a different setup you need to know what you are doing | 12:40 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: ok. will do that next then. | 12:40 |
| ogra_ | the automatic creation of /boot is plainly silly | 12:41 |
| LetoThe2nd | hey i'ma tyrant god emperor. i do not have to know what to do. i have minions for that! *SCNR* | 12:41 |
| ogra_ | but the partman code is scary .. i need to be in the right mood to get at it :P | 12:41 |
| LetoThe2nd | massively drunk? | 12:41 |
| ogra_ | for three days ... yeah | 12:42 |
| LetoThe2nd | minimum | 12:43 |
| lilstevie | do you think being drunk is enough? | 12:44 |
| LetoThe2nd | resizing the terminal during serial netboot install is funny, talking ncurses-interface layout wise. := | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | after three days being drunk i dont think anything ;) | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | thats the point ;) | 12:45 |
| lilstevie | might need some form of hallucinogen to help there | 12:45 |
| ogra_ | LetoThe2nd, screen or minicom ? | 12:45 |
| LetoThe2nd | lilstevie: please, not engelbert humperdinck records again! | 12:45 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: screen | 12:45 |
| lilstevie | LetoThe2nd: lol | 12:46 |
| LetoThe2nd | lilstevie: "having a bad trip" | 12:47 |
| ogra_ | lol | 12:47 |
| === scottb` is now known as scottb | ||
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: ok, now i've proceeded through the complete netinstaller and kept the first fat partition intact (use largest contiguous space). still does not boot - where to go hinting in the logs? | 14:58 |
| ogra_ | pastebin it somewhere (sudo apt-get install pastebinit;; pastebinit /var/log/installer/syslog ;)) | 15:00 |
| LetoThe2nd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112040/ | 15:00 |
| ogra_ | hmm, looks all good | 15:01 |
| ogra_ | how does it not boot ? | 15:02 |
| ogra_ | what are the symptoms ? | 15:02 |
| LetoThe2nd | power on -> led2 solid. | 15:02 |
| ogra_ | notihing on serial ? | 15:02 |
| LetoThe2nd | exactly that | 15:02 |
| ogra_ | thats pretty strange, MLO and u-boot wouldnt have changed | 15:02 |
| LetoThe2nd | check the vfat partition? | 15:02 |
| ogra_ | yes | 15:03 |
| LetoThe2nd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112047/ | 15:03 |
| ogra_ | the installer only updates boot.scr, kernel and initrd | 15:03 |
| ogra_ | right, the timestamps agree | 15:04 |
| ogra_ | since MLO wasnt changed you should definitely at least see MLO messages on serial | 15:04 |
| LetoThe2nd | negative. | 15:04 |
| LetoThe2nd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112052/ | 15:05 |
| ogra_ | hmm | 15:06 |
| * ogra_ is a bit clueless what to say | 15:06 | |
| ogra_ | from a binary POV nothing should have changed for MLO | 15:07 |
| ogra_ | its a fat, files dont move around or anything | 15:07 |
| LetoThe2nd | i told ya. bad karma, or broken feng shui. | 15:08 |
| ogra_ | boot.img-serial1 * 1 61440 30720 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) | 15:09 |
| LetoThe2nd | just retried including starting the terminal over again. led2 solid, nothing else. | 15:09 |
| ogra_ | hmm, the data has definitely changed | 15:09 |
| ogra_ | i suspect parted rewrites the partition table | 15:10 |
| ogra_ | since you created one | 15:10 |
| LetoThe2nd | ok, so the guess would be - what? | 15:11 |
| ogra_ | oyu should probably pre-create one and select to not format it in the partitioner ... then it shouldnt touch the part. table | 15:11 |
| ogra_ | as a workaround | 15:11 |
| ogra_ | and the bug would be against partman i guess | 15:11 |
| LetoThe2nd | the fat partition? it basically *should* not get touched, as i nowhere told the installer to do so. | 15:11 |
| ogra_ | no, not the partition, the partition table | 15:12 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: so zcat to sd, manually partition in the pc, then start all over? | 15:12 |
| ogra_ | compare my fdisk output with yours for the vfat partition | 15:12 |
| ogra_ | right | 15:13 |
| ogra_ | my guess would be that this works | 15:13 |
| ogra_ | seems the rom doesnt get along with the differently computed partition table | 15:13 |
| ogra_ | or some such | 15:13 |
| ogra_ | the image is originally created by fdisk ... while the installer uses partman | 15:14 |
| ogra_ | (which handles CHS differently for example) | 15:14 |
| LetoThe2nd | ok, lets see. | 15:14 |
| LetoThe2nd | ok, when repartitioning with gparted after zcat'ing boots. | 15:16 |
| ogra_ | my install to USB finished properly btw | 15:21 |

| janimo | marvin24, did you commit yesterday's resume problem fix? | 17:21 |
| janimo | marvin24, I just checked your new branch compared to what we have in ubuntu, quite a diff. You seem to have added a lot of commits since Jun 8 when the previous package got branched off | 17:22 |
| janimo | did you add rt2000 driver fixes too besides strictly ac100 stuff? I want to make sure I am not mishandling git log here | 17:22 |
| janimo | :) | 17:22 |
| marvin24 | janimo: use the l4t-r15-ac100 branch | 18:12 |
| marvin24 | and yes, I updated some drivers we use | 18:12 |
| marvin24 | rt2x00 and cleancache | 18:12 |
| janimo | marvin24, ok. thanks, I'll use that | 18:13 |
| janimo | too bad gitorious is so slow | 18:13 |
| janimo | and sometimes disconnects | 18:13 |
| marvin24 | yes, that's the "non-commercial" way ;-) | 18:15 |
| marvin24 | janimo: I'm thinking about uboot ... | 18:16 |
| marvin24 | what is the prefered way to boot the kernel (where to store, initrd, boot.scr?) | 18:16 |
| janimo | preferred way with uboot? | 18:17 |
| janimo | the cases I know have a separate partition for uboot conffiles and kernel+initrd | 18:17 |
| marvin24 | I wonder if we should use the boot partitions for this | 18:20 |
| janimo | if it works I don't see why not. | 18:20 |
| janimo | it can be restored easily | 18:20 |
| marvin24 | and what about an efi partition table? | 18:21 |
| infinity | We usually store the kernel and initrd on the same flash/partition as u-boot.bin, but that's only for historical reasons, because u-boot used to suck so terribly hard at loading from ext* filesystems. | 18:21 |
| infinity | There's really no reason we should continue that brain damage, IMO. | 18:21 |
| marvin24 | I think it still only understands ext2 | 18:21 |
| marvin24 | or ext4 without some features I guess | 18:22 |
| infinity | For read-only, it's good enough on ext4, afaik. | 18:22 |
| infinity | As for efi, I don't think u-boot speaks gpt at all yet. | 18:22 |
| infinity | But that's fine if you load u-boot and the kernel externally, and let the kernel sort out partitions. | 18:23 |
| marvin24 | I tried loading the kernel from my ext4 partition, but failed | 18:23 |
| marvin24 | it could only see the root fs, but /boot gave garbage | 18:23 |
| marvin24 | gpt is supported AFAIK | 18:23 |
| marvin24 | chromeos also uses it and likely all new devices also | 18:24 |
| * marvin24 goes and checks | 18:24 | |
| === XorA is now known as XorA|gone | ||
| marvin24 | seems it should work as long as the storage is smaller than 2 TB ... | 18:25 |
| ogra_ | marvin24, use vfat | 19:30 |
| marvin24 | ogra_: never ... | 19:31 |
| marvin24 | ext2 is fine I think | 19:31 |
| marvin24 | for internal mmc | 19:31 |
| ogra_ | vfat is the most stable filesystem in u-boot, as sad as it sounds ... | 19:31 |
| marvin24 | even read only ext2 doesn't work? | 19:31 |
| marvin24 | zzz | 19:31 |
| ogra_ | but ext2 is usually ok too, i have seen it failing on arches where iot was supposed to work though | 19:32 |
| ogra_ | (some mervell ones, but they used their own u-boot fork i think) | 19:32 |
| ogra_ | *marvell | 19:32 |
| marvin24 | yeah, we can use mainline :-) | 19:46 |
| janimo | marvin24, I rebased on your new branch and want to check with you on the config changes introduced as I see it here | 21:21 |
| janimo | +CONFIG_REGMAP=y and REGMAP_I2C=m are new | 21:21 |
| janimo | XVMALLOC ZCACHE and ZRAM got turned off | 21:21 |
| janimo | ogra_, what keys to use to boot into recovery on the ac100? | 21:23 |
| janimo | ogra_, ah you removed the 30 minutes text from the installer, nice :) | 22:22 |
| * RoyK smacks his raspberry pi | 22:23 | |
| infinity | janimo: I think he should have taken an average timing of 5 installs, and ammended the message to "this process may take around 13.73 minutes, ish." | 22:25 |
| janimo | it is 5-6 minutes in my tests. Not sure if the USB stick or the internal mmc is the bottleneck | 22:26 |
| janimo | but its not slow at all | 22:26 |
| infinity | Yeah, I know. I just pulled 13.73 out of my ass. :P | 22:27 |
| janimo | I figured. Ithought 5 - as I experienced should be representative for all, but forgot the usb stick/sd card used has an influence | 22:28 |
| janimo | infinity, I'll do some more work on mono tomorrow and in the weekend, today and yesterday I did not do anything. | 22:29 |
