| bnz | hi, can anyone tell me is there a way to get a beaglebone running ubuntu to have its usb port appear as a usb kbd? or any links that may help would be apreciated.. | 03:22 |
|---|---|---|
| bnz | i want to run some code on the beaglebone and have the output go to another computer that is blissfullly unaware its talking to another computer.. | 03:23 |
| bnz | would like to output my data thru the usb keyboard interface to another PC.. | 03:24 |
| marvin24 | ogra_: swarren pointed my to the first and second patch on https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/users/griffais which seem to fix a problem with the nvidia drivers | 07:25 |
| marvin24 | (but for kwin-gles) | 07:25 |
| ogra_ | marvin24, thanks, if they go upstream i guess the kubuntu team will want it ... | 07:40 |
| marvin24 | ogra_: I thought more about the unity render problem | 07:40 |
| marvin24 | it could be related | 07:41 |
| ogra_ | yup | 07:41 |
| marvin24 | but I failed to find the gles support code in unity ... | 07:41 |
| marvin24 | is there a special branch ? | 07:42 |
| marvin24 | lp:unity doesn't seem to contain it | 07:42 |
| ogra_ | unity doesnt have much gles code there should be a few ifdefs though | 07:43 |
| ogra_ | unity is just a bunch of compiz plugins ;) | 07:43 |
| marvin24 | ah, so I need to check in the compiz code ... | 07:43 |
| ogra_ | the heavyweight code part for gles is in compiz ... | 07:43 |
| ogra_ | right | 07:44 |
| ogra_ | and there gles is a gigantic ugly patch in debian/patches/ | 07:44 |
| ogra_ | its just being merged upstream with hope that it will make feature freeze | 07:44 |
| Kevin` | anyone know how to fix this? http://pastebin.com/CP1iAm29 MODULES=most (or anything) doesn't change the error | 07:49 |
| marvin24 | ogra_: patch 2 seems to be included already, but we may need patch 1 | 07:55 |
| ogra_ | ah, great ... | 07:55 |
| marvin24 | but I'm not an expert | 07:56 |
| ogra_ | the experts are in #ubuntu-desktop ... i just pinged smspillaz there | 07:57 |
| marvin24 | the driver exposes EGL_KHR_image, EGL_KHR_image_base, and EGL_KHR_image_pixmap | 07:57 |
| marvin24 | so there shouldn't be a problem at all | 07:57 |
| Kevin` | ugh, I tried to reinstall initramfs-tools, and now of course it's stuck broken because of that error | 07:58 |
| ogra_ | that doesnt look like an initramfs tools issue at all ... did you try running it with -v ? | 07:59 |
| Kevin` | ogra_: http://pastebin.com/E6G0vA4W | 08:00 |
| Kevin` | how can it not be an initramfs-tools issue, initramfs-tools is refusing to do it's thing | 08:00 |
| ogra_ | because something is missing from your system that should be there | 08:01 |
| Kevin` | like what? | 08:01 |
| ogra_ | you apparently have a devicemapper handled device there ... seems devicemapper doesnt properly create a sysfs entry for it | 08:01 |
| ogra_ | thats either a kernel or a devicemapper bug | 08:01 |
| Kevin` | # ls /sys/block/dm-0 | 08:02 |
| Kevin` | alignment_offset capability discard_alignment ext_range inflight queue removable size stat trace | 08:02 |
| Kevin` | bdi dev dm holders power range ro slaves subsystem uevent | 08:02 |
| Kevin` | could you give me some information on exactly what it's complaining about? | 08:02 |
| ogra_ | hmm, it seems it tries to find an SD card for that entry | 08:03 |
| ogra_ | did you actually build a raid based on mmc devices ? | 08:04 |
| Kevin` | not raid, lvm | 08:04 |
| ogra_ | aha | 08:04 |
| ogra_ | well, to me it looks like you have a volume group made with an mmc that is not actually attached to the dm device | 08:04 |
| xnox | ogra_: and lvm can do raid levels.... | 08:04 |
| ogra_ | so there is no mmcblk entry in sysfs | 08:05 |
| Kevin` | # find /sys/block/dm-0/ -name \*mmcblk\* | 08:05 |
| Kevin` | /sys/block/dm-0/slaves/mmcblk0p2 | 08:05 |
| ogra_ | Kevin`, well, start with filing a bug and adding all that you pasted above to it ... file it against initramfs-tools for a start, we can re-assign it later | 08:06 |
| Kevin` | is there a way I can make it work now? this is holding me up, and now apt is in a semibroken state because of trying to reinstall it | 08:07 |
| ogra_ | i guess lvm with SD cards isnt a very common case :) | 08:07 |
| ogra_ | Kevin`, is your lvm actually your rootfs ? | 08:08 |
| Kevin` | yes | 08:08 |
| ogra_ | well, then there is not much help unless the bug is fixed ... you willk need a wporking initrd that assembles the lvm on boot, weems you dont have one at all yet | 08:09 |
| ogra_ | *seems | 08:09 |
| Kevin` | the system boots now | 08:09 |
| Kevin` | the lvm used to be on usb, and initramfs-tools didn't glitch out for that | 08:10 |
| ogra_ | oh, well, then just add an exit 0 to update initramfs and run dpkg --configure -a | 08:10 |
| ogra_ | (dont forget to remove it later indeed) | 08:10 |
| Kevin` | Generating Initramfs u-boot image... mkimage: Can't read /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-1417-omap4: Invalid argument | 08:11 |
| Kevin` | run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//zz-flash-kernel exited with return code 1 | 08:11 |
| Kevin` | heh | 08:11 |
| Kevin` | apparenently the script is supposed to do something rather than exiting | 08:11 |
| ogra_ | export FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=1 | 08:11 |
| ogra_ | sorry, forgot about flash-kernel :) | 08:12 |
| Kevin` | ok, at least apt isn't confused now | 08:12 |
| Kevin` | I still can't make an initrd for my new kernel | 08:12 |
| ogra_ | no, not until the bug is fixed | 08:12 |
| ogra_ | the above only worked around the apt issue | 08:12 |
| ogra_ | btw, using an SD for an lvm will massively degrade the lvm's speed | 08:15 |
| ogra_ | (at least if there are also normal disks involved it wioll slow them down) | 08:16 |
| Kevin` | it's an arm device, and it's one of the newer ones that loves to use sd in place of nand | 08:16 |
| ogra_ | no, its a manufacturer who likes to sell the dveice cheap so did pick the cheaper storage option for the board | 08:17 |
| ogra_ | nand is usually lots and lots faster than any MMC card | 08:18 |
| Kevin` | well sure, but everyone is doing it these days unfortunately | 08:18 |
| ogra_ | but about ten times as expensive compared to just adding an SD slot | 08:18 |
| Kevin` | even production devices like phones, tablets, etc. almost all dev boards. :( | 08:18 |
| ogra_ | well, you can use very fast eMMCs if you actually build a phone ... but thats not comparable to SD cards | 08:19 |
| Kevin` | yes it is. it's the same thing with different (or not) tweaks | 08:19 |
| Kevin` | still pretty horrible for random io because of the block translation done outside the os | 08:20 |
| Kevin` | still no reporting of failure status | 08:20 |
| ogra_ | which is why we default to USB installs from quantal on :) | 08:20 |
| ogra_ | the SD card is only used as boot device nowadays | 08:21 |
| Kevin` | a usb spinny drive is a pretty big thing to have hanging off the device all the time. although of course I started with that before I got a fast sd card | 08:21 |
| ogra_ | and really shouldnt be used for anything else | 08:21 |
| ogra_ | a good SD card will max out at 16MB/s ... a USB disk will get you between 20-24MB/s | 08:21 |
| Kevin` | bah no. a good sd card will max out at 1.5mbyte/sec (for 4k random writes) | 08:22 |
| ogra_ | who cares about writes :) | 08:23 |
| Kevin` | the os when doing anything? :) | 08:23 |
| ogra_ | they are cached anyway ... reading is the issue | 08:23 |
| Kevin` | writes still happen, and on an average sd card that does tham at 0.001mbytes/sec (not kidding.) it really affects usability | 08:24 |

| ubot2` | Ubuntu bug 1036546 in initramfs-tools "initramfs-tools fails for lvm on mmc" [Undecided,New] | 08:24 |
| ogra_ | thx | 08:24 |
| xnox | ogra_: so I should test this? =) | 08:25 |
| ogra_ | xnox, if you like to ? | 08:25 |
| Kevin` | ironically flash controllers with faster bulk read/write are normally the ones with horrible random performance | 08:25 |
| ogra_ | i really think its quite a corner case to run lvm's off SDs | 08:25 |
| ogra_ | (and ubiquity wont allow that ootb on qunatal installs) | 08:26 |
| xnox | well... i have a panda board =) and I can re-install it with rootfs on lvm on sd | 08:26 |
| ogra_ | but it should indeed get fixed | 08:26 |
| xnox | ogra_: well... with a command line arg it does allow lvm instalations | 08:26 |
| ogra_ | xnox, heh, have fun tricking ubiquity then, that wont be easy :) | 08:26 |
| ogra_ | (partman will refuse to touch the partition table of the media you install from) | 08:27 |
| ogra_ | (....which is your SD) | 08:27 |
| Kevin` | ogra_: actually, it won't. although I was using the minimal installer, I think it only uses kernel+initrd to boot from | 08:28 |
| xnox | hmm.... so --enable-partauto-lvm will do nothing =( sad | 08:28 |
| ogra_ | you will need to create all partitioning you need in advance (without touching the first two partitions) | 08:28 |
| Kevin` | on that note, sd hotplug doesn't work on this board. was kind of annoying when booted from usb | 08:28 |
| ogra_ | oh, yeah, you can do it from a netboot install indeed | 08:28 |
| xnox | hmmm... ok | 08:28 |
| ogra_ | how does it not work ? | 08:29 |
| ogra_ | if you plug in a card from i.e. your camera it doesnt get automounted ? | 08:29 |
| Kevin` | correct | 08:29 |
| Kevin` | well not just the automount | 08:29 |
| Kevin` | it doesn't detect card removal/insertion | 08:29 |
| ogra_ | it does here, stgrange | 08:29 |
| * ogra_ just tried | 08:29 | |
| Kevin` | kernel version? | 08:29 |
| ogra_ | qunatal current ... some 3.2 kernel iirc | 08:30 |
| Kevin` | i'm using precise, might have different stuff there | 08:31 |
| ogra_ | err, sorry, 3.4.0 actually | 08:31 |
| ogra_ | welll, another bug to file then, linux-ti-omap4 is the package | 08:32 |
| Kevin` | but that one requires me booting from something else to test again =p | 08:32 |
| === doko_ is now known as doko | ||
| Kevin` | flash-kernel shouldn't attempt to identify compatible architectures by random stuff at the end of the kernel version string (say, git version info, or "+") | 10:00 |
| ogra_ | Kevin`, well, it is designed for supported kernels ... you could file a wishlist bug in debian about it (though the 2.x version that was shipped in precise is dead now) | 10:14 |
| LetoThe2nd | when used only together with MLO and uboot.bin, shouldn't http://pastebin.pandaboard.org/index.php/view/49834947 run loaduimage and therefore boot the uImage kernel from the sd card on a pandaboard? | 11:06 |
| ogra_ | LetoThe2nd, not sure what linaro sets as the default there, ask them :) | 11:22 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: hm will do | 11:23 |
| ogra_ | we never use images without boot.scr | 11:23 |
| ogra_ | and there we dont use loaduimage | 11:23 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: so you'd suggest to fixup boot.scr? | 11:24 |
| ogra_ | well, rather /boot/boot.script, but yeah | 11:24 |
| LetoThe2nd | meh. | 11:24 |
| ogra_ | or on quantal /usr/share/flash-kernel/bootscript/bootscript.omap | 11:25 |
| LetoThe2nd | ogra_: some documentation link on boot.scr{ipt} tinkering? | 11:25 |
| ogra_ | apt-get source flash-kernel :) | 11:29 |
| ogra_ | no specific documentation | 11:29 |
| xnox | Kevin`_: what image did you use when you got lvm failure? | 11:30 |
| xnox | we have a jenkin lvm tests failing on amd64 for servers right now | 11:30 |
| Kevin`_ | xnox: the failure isn't during install, it's after | 11:31 |
| Kevin`_ | also, I have a fun situation now, with update-initramfs again | 11:31 |
| xnox | yeah, it installs and fails to reboot. | 11:31 |
| xnox | in the jenkins test. | 11:32 |
| Kevin`_ | I removed the kernel with + in the name from boot and /lib/modules etc | 11:32 |
| Kevin`_ | but dpkg still thinks it has to rebuild it | 11:32 |
| Kevin`_ | so it tries and fails, because it doesn't exist | 11:32 |
| Kevin`_ | xnox: it boots just fine, the problem is just in initramfs-tools. although i'm not sure what would happen if you tried to initially install to it | 11:32 |
| Kevin`_ | where's the list of kernels the system will try to rebuild the initrd for? | 11:33 |
| xnox | ok. | 11:33 |
| Kevin`_ | http://pastebin.com/yzymVf7u - I have no luck at all | 11:34 |
| Kevin`_ | answer: something in /var/lib/initramfs-tools. luckily it's a file so it's indexed as a file | 11:37 |
| Kevin`_ | doing a full text search of the filesystem wouldn't have been fun :) | 11:37 |
| ogra_ | Kevin`_, how did you remove that kernel ? | 11:40 |
| ogra_ | (did you remove the exit 0 from update-initramfs before doing it ?) | 11:41 |
| Kevin`_ | I installed it with "make install", so I removed it with "rm" :) | 11:41 |
| Kevin`_ | yes | 11:41 |
| ogra_ | aha | 11:41 |
| ogra_ | well | 11:41 |
| ogra_ | then you need to manually remove the state file that was put in place for initramfs-tools | 11:41 |
| ogra_ | (that would have been dont by the package scripts usually) | 11:41 |
| ogra_ | look in /var/lib/initramfs-tools/ | 11:41 |
| ogra_ | s/dont/done/ | 11:42 |
| Kevin`_ | in case you were wondering, my hack to make it work temporarily while waiting for someone to look at the bug: http://pastebin.com/8rnK9Baj | 11:44 |
