[00:16] <mturquette> i'm unable to install the xorg:omapdrm_pvr driver on my panda board
[00:16] <mturquette> jockey-text --enable=xorg:omapdrm_pvr throws the usual "please look at /var/log/jockey.log"
[00:18] <mturquette> anyone had luck with LEB 12.07?  (that's what i'm using)
[01:25] <frrgwregw> Hi
[01:25] <frrgwregw> I am trying to install Ubuntu on my Beaglebone A6 and I cannot seem to do it from my mac
[01:26] <frrgwregw> I haven't found any documentation on this..
[01:26] <frrgwregw> Any help?
[03:28] <ogra_> frrgwregw, there are no ubuntu images for the beaglebone
[03:29] <ogra_> mturquette, i guess yuo have to wait for rsalveti to finish the port, pvr isnt ready for the new kernels atm
[03:30] <rsalveti> mturquette: the leb itself should have the pvr driver already by default
[03:30] <rsalveti> if used the lt-panda-x11-base
[03:30] <ogra_> ah
[03:31] <rsalveti> ogra_: which timezone are you in this week?
[03:31] <rsalveti> :-)
[03:31] <ogra_> boston
[03:31] <ogra_> tropical TZ as it seems :)
[03:32] <rsalveti> got it :-)
[03:32] <ogra_> still like 30°C around 12pm and 90% humidity
[03:32] <rsalveti> wow, nice :-)
[03:32] <ogra_> heh
[03:32] <rsalveti> a bit too hot I'd say, but fine
[03:32] <ogra_> yeah, pretty unexpected
[03:33]  * ogra_ is at the QA sprint getting automated image tests to run ... which work fine now thanks to you and john 
[03:33] <ogra_> (which was pretty well noticed by mgmt)
[03:33] <rsalveti> cool
[03:33] <ogra_> ;)
[03:33] <rsalveti> ogra_: how things are going there in general?
[03:34] <rsalveti> still missing anything at your initial plan for the sprint?
[03:35] <ogra_> no, i'm confident we'll be completely done tomorrow ... automated image booting is done, now only preseeding is missing
[03:36] <rsalveti> cool
[03:36] <rsalveti> would be nice to get a fully automated installer running :-)
[03:37] <ogra_> yup
[03:41] <infinity> Fully automated installation is running all over the place.
[03:41] <infinity> But automated image testing is indeed harder, so yay for efforts to make that go.
[03:43] <ogra_> :)
[03:51] <mturquette> rsalveti: the 12.07 leb?  lsmod doesn't show it up
[03:53] <rsalveti> mturquette: which image are you using?
[03:54] <mturquette> rsalveti: http://releases.linaro.org/12.07/ubuntu/leb-panda/lt-panda-x11-base_20120723-197-ubuntu-desktop.img.gz
[03:57] <rsalveti> mturquette: hm, with that image it should work by default
[03:57] <rsalveti> can you try reinstalling pvr-omap4?
[03:57] <rsalveti> sudo apt-get install --reinstall pvr-omap4
[03:57]  * mturquette tries
[03:58] <mturquette> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:58] <mturquette> hmm, i may have deeper problems.  this is a fresh imamge too.
[03:58] <mturquette> just pulled it and dd'd it to sd card today...
[03:59] <rsalveti> hm, it shouldn't behave like that by default
[03:59] <rsalveti> maybe it got corrupted while writing to the sd card
[04:00] <mturquette> rsalveti: yeah, i'll pull the image again tomorrow morning, check md5sums and try with multiple cards if needed
[04:00] <mturquette> rsalveti: thanks for the ideas.  hopefully it will Just Work (tm) tomorrow.
[04:01] <rsalveti> :-)
[04:05] <ogra_> rsalveti, iirc jimerickson filed a bug yesterday that showed some issue with dos2unix or some such ...
[04:05] <ogra_> on ubuntu though
[04:05] <ogra_> ib was wondering why pvr does need it ... but was to busy to actually take a look this week
[04:06] <rsalveti> hm, will check that
[04:06] <rsalveti> I remember it needed to convert a few files to unix so it could build successfully
[08:57] <wizzy> I have a vodafone webbook with ubuntu lucid on it that I would like to upgrade. /proc/cpuinfo says "Hardware: Freescale MX51 Babbage Board"
[09:03] <wizzy> I see "As of 10.10, Ubuntu has dropped support for the Freescale i.MX51 Babbage board." - should I look at debian instead ?
[09:05] <LetoThe2nd> wizzy: hm what arm revision is that anyways?
[09:05] <wizzy> Processor: ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l)
[09:07] <LetoThe2nd> then chances are that it can be convinced to run ubuntu, no idea though how much work it would be.
[09:08] <wizzy> I have limited physical access - I don't seem to be able to open the case, but if I did would probably find a 4G flash chip soldered down. there is no CDROM.
[09:08] <wizzy> summary thread at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-za/2012-July/009425.html
[09:09] <LetoThe2nd> if you have access to the bootloader, via serial or such there's many things you can do. if you have not, chances to brick the device are considerably high.
[09:10] <wizzy> it has 3 partitions, not including beginning-of-disk, and a switch that puts me into a debian bootloader, that fails to find a cdrom
[09:10] <LetoThe2nd> no idea what you mean by "debian bootloader"
[09:11] <LetoThe2nd> wizzy: the thread you linked seems to recommend debian, though.
[09:11] <LetoThe2nd> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-za/2012-July/009438.html
[09:11] <wizzy> I *think* the debian bootloader is on the (unstructured) first partition (possibly as kernel+initrd)
[09:11] <wizzy> LetoThe2nd: yes - that is me :(
[09:12] <LetoThe2nd> AFAIK, there is no such thing as "the debian bootloader". hence i really have no idea what you are talking about.
[09:13] <infinity> wizzy: We still support it in userspace just fine, but we don't ship babbage kernels anymore.
[09:13] <wizzy> ok - it puts me into the multi-step installer that was used (is used ?) on the alternate ubuntu disks and the debian installer
[09:13] <wizzy> how far can I push userspace and not bump the kernel ?
[09:14] <infinity> Precise will mostly work on your current kernel, I suspect.
[09:14] <infinity> Except for the possibility of things like binary video drivers and such.
[09:15] <wizzy> so if I pin the kernel and upgrade I might be OK ?
[09:15] <infinity> It's worth an experiment.
[09:15] <wizzy> what other packages should I be careful of ?
[09:16] <infinity> I dunno, havning never seen how the webbook was customised.
[09:16] <infinity> having...
[09:16] <wizzy> if I brick it, how do I get a CD image that the installer will recognise ?
[09:16] <infinity> Hrm?
[09:17] <infinity> You shouldn't need a "CD" at all, didn't you just say there was a recovery partition?
[09:18] <infinity> If that's not working right, I'm really the wrong person to ask.
[09:18] <infinity> Like i said, I've never seen one of these devices.
[09:18] <wizzy> it has a little switch behind the battery that puts me into something else, that I am calling the debian installer. This fails at the find-cd step
[09:18] <wizzy> I have not bricked it yet - I am just terrified of doing so .. :)
[09:19] <wizzy> if that is what you call the recovery partition (I think it is) it is missing install media
[09:20] <wizzy> the whole flash is only $G
[09:20] <wizzy> err - 4G
[09:21] <wizzy> and it has no physical ethernet - only wireless
[09:21] <infinity> Yeah, we've reached the point where I'd probably have to sit in front of one.
[09:22] <infinity> (And also where it's 3:21am and I need to sleep)
[09:22] <LetoThe2nd> infinity: coffee? spice? coffee + spice? ;)
[09:22] <wizzy> 11AM here - and we are beating the brits at cricket and mopping up gold medals :)
[09:23] <wizzy> infinity: thanks - I will consider my next steps
[09:27] <janimo> marvin24, uploaded new package with your latest branch to quantal
[09:28] <marvin24> janimo: thanks!
[09:28] <marvin24> seems it's time to upgrade ;-)
[09:28] <janimo> marvin24, the meta is not yet there, so it is not automatically taken
[09:28] <janimo> but will be in tomorrow's image if it goes through today
[09:29] <janimo> marvin24, I saw lockups a few times though with this kernel (maybe the older 3.1 too). Once on boot 'CPU0 stalled'
[09:29] <janimo> but we'll fix them in time, so better have it uploaded for people to test
[09:30] <marvin24> yeah, I hope nvidia will make the finial r15 release before quantal
[09:30] <marvin24> janimo: ever tried to build mainline kernel for tegra?
[09:30] <janimo> ah, looks the package is no longer in new, and nice guy infinity uploaded the meta too
[09:31] <janimo> marvin24, had no time yet
[09:31] <janimo> I plan to though
[09:31] <marvin24> it has the best chances to support multi-board
[09:31] <janimo> will start with 3.5 then try out arm-soc if that does not cut it
[09:31] <janimo> I am sure DT fixes multiboard but if graphics does not work yet it's not usable right?
[09:32] <infinity> janimo: I beg to differ.
[09:32] <janimo> but yes, I plan to check it out as soon as I do the next round of ac100 work
[09:32] <marvin24> janimo: display and fb is initialized
[09:32] <marvin24> so, xorg works kindof
[09:32] <janimo> which is syncing up with ubuntu configs as much as possible
[09:32] <infinity> janimo: (re: "the meta is not yet there")
[09:32] <infinity> janimo: Oh, you mentioned that later. :P
[09:32] <janimo> infinity, see my later statement in which not only I realize my mistale but I paise you for your niceness level
[09:33] <janimo> IRC is not supposed to be read cronologically
[09:33] <infinity> I'm not nice, just anal.
[09:33] <marvin24> hasthe modesetting driver arrived in quantal yet?
[09:33] <janimo> anal guy infinity, uploaded meta.
[09:33] <janimo> works for me too
[09:33] <infinity> Kinky.
[09:33] <janimo> sure
[09:34] <marvin24> seems so, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-modesetting/0.4.0-0ubuntu1
[09:35]  * janimo pulls out google to once and for all find out whether anal also has the meaning of thorough, picky, attentive to detail which geeky chats usually implies
[09:36]  * janimo finds out if that is the case it is most certainly not the most popular meaning of the word by far
[09:38] <janimo> marvin24, I do not know anything about the modesetting driver or what it is supposed to do exactly
[09:39] <marvin24> janimo: it is required for mainline kernel xorg
[09:39] <janimo> marvin24, so then what does not work? DRM and GPU support? Power management
[09:39] <janimo> ?
[09:39] <marvin24> the latter
[09:39] <janimo> back in a few min
[09:40] <marvin24> modesetting driver is a simple framebuffer driver for xorg using kernel drm
[09:40] <marvin24> but the quantal package seems to require xorg-server 1.13 ...
[09:40]  * marvin24 is confused
[09:42] <infinity> janimo: It's shorthand for "anal-retentive", which has that meaning, yes.
[16:21] <marvin24> janimo: did you tried to install the new kernel?
[16:21] <janimo> yes, yesterday
[16:21] <marvin24> I get: /tmp/fileIH3Shr: updated is too big for the Boot Image (8429568 vs 8388608 bytes)
[16:21] <janimo> worked for me
[16:21] <janimo> hmm
[16:21] <marvin24> but that's on precuse
[16:21] <marvin24> *precise ...
[16:21] <janimo> I tried on precise too
[16:21] <janimo> via dpkg -i
[16:21] <marvin24> same here
[16:22] <marvin24> what's you initrd size?
[16:22] <janimo> hmm wait, I tried a .deb I build locally not the exact one from the archive
[16:22] <janimo> I did a test it worked so I uploaded
[16:22] <janimo> initrd size? I think it too is 8M
[16:22] <marvin24> no,  3446096  here
[16:23] <marvin24> was wrong, 4980696
[16:23] <marvin24> kernel is 3446096
[16:25] <janimo> won't wake from suspend though
[16:34] <marvin24> huh
[16:44] <marvin24> janimo: for the initrd problem, the larger image includes a dm-mod.ko which isn't present with my self-compiled kernels
[16:44] <marvin24> I try to flash it with my old initrd
[16:45] <janimo> it may turn out we need to disable some configs if we hit the initrd size limitation
[16:45] <janimo> marvin24, is this too the >2M initrd issue?
[16:46] <janimo> having DM is probably not that important but at one point it was requested by ubuntu/arm/server devs who did not yet have proper server hardware to test on
[16:47] <marvin24> janimo: no, flash-kernel doesn't like it because kernel+initrd becomes > 8 M
[16:47] <janimo> ah there is an explicit check
[16:47] <marvin24> but now I wonder why the old initrd loads at all given the 2M limit
[16:47] <janimo> but which of the two grew most? I did not change much of the kernel configs
[16:48] <janimo> should the rebase on the new branch cause significant size increase?
[16:48] <marvin24> can't tell now, because kernel gave a nice oops on boot ;-)
[16:50] <marvin24> stack-protector ...
[16:50] <marvin24> during usb probe
[16:50] <marvin24> janimo: did you really tested it?
[16:52] <janimo> I am running 3.1.10-4 now
[16:52] <janimo> but as I said a locally built .deb
[16:52] <janimo> not the exact one from the arch
[16:52]  * janimo wgets that one and tries in a few minutes
[17:05] <marvin24> anyway, there should be no stack corruption
[17:17] <marvin24> kernel boots fine with 2M initrd
[17:18] <marvin24> janimo: sorry, false alarm
[17:19] <marvin24> I still had that 3M testfile with random data in my initrd
[17:19] <janimo> marvin24, so all ok?
[17:19] <marvin24> wait, I'll retest again
[17:19] <marvin24> but flash-kernel should also check for the 2M initrd limit
[17:20] <marvin24> lot of users have problems with this
[17:22] <marvin24> and I think all tegra devices using fastboot have this problem
[17:29] <marvin24> janimo: ok, kernel boots, but resume fails
[17:30] <janimo> ogra_, re flash-kernel ^ :)
[17:30] <janimo> marvin24,  whereas resume works in your own zImage?
[17:30] <marvin24> yes
[17:31] <marvin24> maybe I can get something from the serial console
[17:33] <marvin24> arrr, it works on my other ac100 (which has no wifi or 3g modem anymore)
[17:33] <marvin24> and that's the only one with a serial console
[17:47] <marvin24> janimo: can you give me a short course how to build my own kernel.deb?
[17:47] <marvin24> or is there some wiki page?
[17:49] <janimo> marvin24, not usre if I put it in the wiki or just an email on the list
[17:49] <janimo> a moment
[17:49] <marvin24> ah, I remember reading something from you on the ac100 list
[17:49]  * marvin24 checks
[17:50] <janimo> you need to checkout my packaging branch though which gives you two extra dirs, debian/ and debian.linaro (historical reason, I used linaro kernels when starting ac100 work)
[17:51] <marvin24> got it already ..
[17:51] <marvin24> and now?
[17:51] <janimo> the packaging-3.1 branch
[17:52] <janimo> do a git fetch + git reset --hard origin, I am just pushing out now the most recent changes
[17:52] <janimo> for 3.1.10-4.5
[17:52] <janimo> and now, you need to have the arm cross gcc package installed
[17:53] <janimo> and also sudo  apt-get install libc6-dev-armhf-cross
[17:53] <janimo> now in the kernel tree do
[17:53] <marvin24> I only see a Ubuntu 3.1.10-3.4
[17:53] <marvin24> tag
[17:54] <janimo> did try an update+reset as I said above?
[17:54] <janimo> I just pushed the latest 3 min ago
[17:54] <janimo> I hope I pushed to the right branch
[17:55] <janimo> marvin24, hmm you're right it's not there
[17:55] <marvin24> not on the web interface
[17:55] <marvin24> but I forgot to fetch the tags
[17:55] <marvin24> (git fetch -t)
[17:56] <janimo> just pushed now, forgot git push -u
[17:56] <janimo> I though push -f should have been enough but no
[17:57] <janimo> I have an alias fdr='fakeroot debian/rules'
[17:57] <janimo> since that makefile's rules are commonly called from the cmdline when working with kernels
[17:57] <janimo> so for example
[17:57] <janimo> fdr clean
[17:57] <janimo> fdr editconfigs
[17:57] <janimo> fdr updateconfig
[17:57] <marvin24> ok
[17:58] <janimo> do a git clean -xdf just to make sure there's no cruft there (just do not lose untracked files!)
[17:58] <janimo> then fdr clean
[17:58] <janimo> debuild  -eDEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=3" -eCROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-  -b -aarmhf -us -uc  -nc
[17:58] <janimo> change the parallel to suit your number of cores+1 (I think)
[18:02] <marvin24> seem I need to install some more package first ;-)
[18:02] <marvin24> ok, now it seems to do something
[18:04] <janimo> you may be missing some other packages. If it fails to build the tools at the end you can turn that off by setting do_tools=false
[18:04] <janimo> in debian.linaro/rules.d/armhf.mk
[18:08] <marvin24> poor athlon ...
[18:44] <jimerickson> using the 3-Aug-2012 omap4+armhf image on a pandaboard ES. the installer asks me to designate a root and swap partition. when i do it fails with /dev/cdrom cannot be unmounted. why is the installer seeing a cdrom?
[19:22] <infinity> jimerickson: What partitions are you setting up as root/swap?
[19:22] <infinity> jimerickson: You're not trying to install to the SD card, are you (which it tells you not to do)?
[19:31] <ogra_> sadly it doesnt, it says you can install to a pre-made partition (which doesnt work either)
[19:32] <jimerickson> ok so if i don't install to the sd where do i install to? usb?
[19:32] <ogra_> yes
[19:32] <jimerickson> ok i will try it
[19:32] <ogra_> i will update the wiki instructions next week, once i'm home again
[19:33] <ogra_> just use guided partitioninig and let it do its job ;)
[19:33] <jimerickson> ok
[19:33] <ogra_> it will default to the USB disk (if you attached one indeed)
[19:33] <jimerickson> will do
[19:34] <ogra_> that should just finish without errors
[19:34] <ogra_> (and dont  check the third party drivers option on the first page of the installer ;) )
[19:35] <jimerickson> ok
[19:37] <jimerickson> can the usb drive be on a powered hub or does it have to be on the OTG port?
[19:38] <ogra_> no, it actually *needs* to be on the normal USB port (or a hub attached to this)
[19:38] <ogra_> OTG isnt running in host mode
[19:39] <jimerickson> ok got it
[19:40] <jimerickson> but last time i did this it didn't write a uboot partition. will be back in a bit.
[19:41] <ogra_> it will write u-boot to the SD card (as i told you last time we talked)
[19:41] <ogra_> the SD needs to stay in the slot even after install ...
[19:41] <jimerickson> ok
[19:42] <ogra_> btw, many many thanks for all that testing, you rock ;)
[19:42] <jimerickson> so now to boot panda i need the sdcard for booting and a usb drive for root?
[19:42] <jimerickson> :)
[19:43] <ogra_> yep
[19:43] <jimerickson> ok
[19:43] <jimerickson> i am on it
[19:44] <ogra_> running root from SD card is very slow so we decided to switch the images to actually default to USB ... just lacing install documentation for this, i guess i should aslo blog about this change alongside creating new wikipages
[19:44] <ogra_> *lacking
[19:46] <jimerickson> so now it will overwrite the installer portion at the end so it boots to usb root?
[19:56] <jimerickson> i guess my class 10 32GB sd cards are kind of useless now. oh well.
[19:58] <ogra_> use them for something useful and get a 2G one ;)
[19:58] <jimerickson> that i shall!
[20:00] <janimo> marvin24, any luck with the build?
[20:01] <janimo> marvin24, which is exactly your most mainline branch? for-next seems to be 3.2.0 based
[20:01] <janimo> marvin24, nevermind, 3.5
[20:01] <janimo> I looked at video-next-test
[20:09] <ogra_> yay, srwarren is back in #ac100 ...
[20:10]  * ogra_ has hope for a working tegra driver again :)
[20:32] <jimerickson> install finished without errors as predicted by ogra_ but it booted to the installer again when done. what am i doing wrong?
[20:34] <ogra_> jimerickson, hmm, that might be my fault, look on the first partition of the SD and check if there are uEnv.txt and preEnv.txt files along with boot.scr
[20:34] <ogra_> if so, remove the two .txt files
[20:34] <jimerickson> will do.
[20:34] <ogra_> flash-kernel-installer (teh bit making the images bootable) wasnt ported to deal with them yet
[20:35] <ogra_> on my list for next week
[20:36] <jimerickson> ok so remove uEnv.txt and preEnv.txt and i should be good to go
[20:38] <ogra_> yes
[20:38] <ogra_> in future images these files will be used in the installed system too ... but currently it still needs boot.scr
[20:39] <ogra_> future = next week ...when i'm back in my normal timezone :)
[21:18] <marvin24> janimo: yes, finished, but I'll test it tomorrow
[21:18] <marvin24> problem may be usb related
[21:41] <jimerickson> ogra_,  removing both the .txt files makes it not boot. is there something i should edit in them?
[21:41] <ogra_> no, was the boot.scr there ?
[21:41] <jimerickson> yes
[21:41] <ogra_> also how does it not boot :)
[21:41] <ogra_> (symptoms)
[21:42] <jimerickson> just one led flashing blank screen
[21:43] <ogra_> give it some time, there is a bug with the splash that makes it just show a black screen until the login manager comes up
[21:43] <jimerickson> ok will do
[21:43] <ogra_> keep an eye on the usb disk light ... you should see activity there
[21:59] <jimerickson> my apologies ogra_ there is no boot.scr. i was wrong.
[22:01] <ogra_> oh
[22:01] <ogra_> do you still have the uEnv.txt and preEnv.txt files ?
[22:01] <jimerickson> i can get them back
[22:02] <ogra_> if so, copy them back, then edit preEnv.txt:
[22:02]  * ogra_ looks up the content you need
[22:03] <ogra_> bootargs=ro quiet splash
[22:03] <ogra_> that should do it
[22:03]  * ogra_ just gets kicked out of the office here ...
[22:04] <jimerickson> ok give me a minute
[22:04] <ogra_> and the hotel had a power outage the whole day, not sure i can come back online
[22:04] <ogra_> (though i expect that to be fixed now)
[22:04] <jimerickson> ok i will be waiting
[22:19] <jimerickson> ok that gets me to busybox with a (initramfs) prompt
[22:22] <ogra_> any error message above ?
[22:23] <jimerickson> no
[22:25] <jimerickson> shall i edit out "quiet" and try it?
[22:25] <ogra_> yep
[22:26] <jimerickson> ok just a minute ;)
[22:29] <jimerickson> well quite a bit of stuff but no error. last thing is starting udevd and detecting the hub.
[22:30] <ogra_> hmpf
[22:36] <ogra_> you can use the blkid command to find your UUID of the usb disk
[22:36] <ogra_> (blkid /dev/sda)
[22:36] <jimerickson> ok
[22:36] <ogra_> then you can add root=UUID= and then the UUID the blkid command returned ... that should get you going
[22:36] <ogra_> not sure what happened there
[22:38] <infinity> (That should probably be /dev/sda2 or something, not /dev/sda)
[22:38] <jimerickson> ok i will try that infinity i am not getting a UUID with sda
[22:39] <jimerickson> its the ext2 partion's UUID i want?
[22:40] <ogra_> what infinity said
[22:40] <ogra_> you want the ext4
[22:40] <jimerickson> ok no problem
[22:42] <janimo> marvin24, built your for-next tree, does not boot though
[22:42] <janimo> will try again next week :)
[22:50] <jimerickson> ogra_, infinity , thank you very much guys it works!!
[22:55] <cvanvliet> infinity, has anything moved forward with Ti SGX armhf omap3
[22:57] <infinity> cvanvliet: I've not been keeping an eye on it personally, I'm assuming people who care will let me know if there's anything to be done. :P
[22:59] <cvanvliet> fair enough
[23:03] <cvanvliet> they are available, but I don’t know how official they are
