ogra_http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-preinstalled/20120824/09:38
ogra_there we go09:38
ogra_ac100 lubuntu09:38
ogra_wow, and only 400M09:39
lilstevienice09:39
lilstevieI've recently renewed some work on the tf10109:40
lilstevie(took long enough) :p09:40
ogra_heh09:40
lilsteviebut u-boot won't play ball with my usb keyboard :/09:40
ogra_get a bluetooth one09:41
ogra_will surely be better :P09:41
lilstevieu-boot09:41
lilstevie:p09:41
ogra_yeah, that was the joke :P09:41
lilstevieinstead I have started writing a driver for the dock keyboard09:41
ogra_++09:41
ogra_ood move09:41
ogra_*good even09:41
lilsteviewe have no serial09:42
lilstevieso playing with involves putting a boot.scr with the commands I want to execute on a usb stick09:42
lilsteviespeaking of u-boot though, documentation on device tree stuff is really lacking09:43
ogra_yep09:43
* ogra_ agrees09:43
lilstevieis there any documentation anywhere that could give me a hand, so far I have had nothing but fail in trying to get a kernel running using a device tree09:44
ogra_i dont know of an, oogle ...09:48
ogra_*google09:48
lilstevieyeah tried that09:48
lilstevie:(09:48
lilsteviefragments, none of which seem to help tegra09:49
ogra_well, what i know is that you need a devicetree file and u-boot needs to load it somehow09:51
lilstevieheh09:56
lilsteviewell I managed that part09:56
ogra_and indeed your u-boot version needs to know how to handle it09:57
lilstevieand ran the fdt commands10:03
lilstevieyeah, I'm using the l4t-r15 u-boot10:03
=== doko__ is now known as doko
marvin24lilstevie: what's the problem?11:03
marvin24on ac100 the device tree get appended to the u-boot binary11:04
marvin24which is transfered to the kernel later in the boot process11:04
marvin24the problem is that kernel has a slightly different device tree than u-boot11:05
ogra_ouch11:07
ogra_it shouldnt, should it ?11:07
marvin24no it shouldn't11:07
ogra_(at least by my knowledge of DT one DT file should work with bootloader as welll as kernel)11:07
marvin24but mainline u-boot isn't updated yet11:08
marvin24but I guess you can just copy the kernel dt to u-boot11:08
marvin24as long as the syntax is equal11:08
marvin24ogra_: is the new quantal image installable?11:09
ogra_marvin24, havent tested it since teh switch to lubuntu, download is just done11:09
marvin24I wonder if it also has the limitation to be only installable to the internal mmc11:10
ogra_http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-preinstalled/20120824/11:10
marvin24I will try out later11:10
ogra_i havent changed anything in the installer11:10
ogra_everything should work/fail as it did before :)11:10
marvin24:-(11:11
* ogra_ doesnt get what was broken, for me all install variants worked last time i tested11:12
ogra_ah, sweet i'm in lubuntus oem-config :)11:32
ogra_X took quite long to come up ... i already thought it had crashed11:32
marvin24maybe it restarted several times11:33
ogra_might be, i'll check the logs once i can11:33
ogra_hmm, weird that they use the same slideshow11:34
ogra_doesnt really match the color theme11:34
xnoxoh their slideshow was crashing or something11:37
ogra_ah11:37
* xnox ponders if I should continue ubiquity development on lubuntu11:37
ogra_yay, oem-config survived ... i'm in package removal11:37
xnoxogra_: based on the foundations-team report, is there a bug tracking compiz llvmpipe landing in ubuntu?11:37
ogra_not yet, no11:38
xnoxand will there be a release meeting today?11:38
ogra_and i'm pretty sure we wont enable it at all for arm builds11:38
ogra_ask kate :)11:38
ogra_i have it on my gcal but that doesnt mean much :)11:38
ogra_xnox, we're still waiting for input from doko in the mail discussion about llvmpipe (thouh i suspect he wont maically pull code out of a hat that makes arm work)11:39
ogra_yay, "removing cryptsetp" :)11:39
ogra_*setup11:39
ogra_lightdm !11:40
* ogra_ logs in11:41
ogra_heh11:41
ogra_the games subment uses the same icon for all games11:41
ogra_*submenu11:41
ogra_marvin24, so at least the default install works just fine here11:48
* ogra_ is surprised to see the initial desktop use 267MB 11:48
ogra_thats way more than unity-2d used11:48
ogra_(about 100M)11:49
marvin24nice it worked so far11:49
marvin24I will try install on sd card then11:49
ogra_hmm, chromium is not working11:50
xnoxcrashes?11:55
xnoxit did for me, i switched to chrome11:55
ogra_yep11:55
ogra_on your panda ?11:55
* xnox 'for me' usually means 'on my amd64'11:55
ogra_ah11:55
* xnox has no screen for panda remember =)11:55
ogra_well, there is always ssh -X11:55
ogra_;)11:55
ogra_sigh, apport11:57
xnoxaport - is the command you give your dog to 'fetch' in Russian12:02
ogra_haha12:03
* ogra_ tries suspend12:15
ogra_bah12:15
xnoxlet me just tell you =) quantal daily amd64 is awesome in the VM: no dash, no indicators, no panel on the top. Simply a pretty background + icon install ubuntu12:18
xnoxsimply precise =) awesome12:18
ogra_haha12:18
ogra_you should try it on the panda ... there its awesome and breaking :)12:19
xnoxi am pretty sure that it's the fallback metacity without any acceleration12:20
xnoxbtw what did happen to the gnome fallback (ubuntu classic)12:20
* ogra_ thinks now that he has to look at xcreensaver again regulary it is time to reintroduce the xft patch for the unlock window as infinity suggested12:30
ogra_this thing is just to ugly12:30
xnoxogra_: see what unity does to you! calling other projects "too ugly"12:35
lilsteviemarvin24, screen black (backlight on) and nothing12:49
marvin24lilstevie: serial console available?13:01
lilstevieno13:01
marvin24if the kernel is compiled for device tree support and no dt is supplied it will just stop13:02
lilstevienot enough resources have gone into locating the serial13:02
marvin24hacking u-boot without a serial console is ...13:02
lilstevieby supplying dt you mean fatload ; fdt address {blah}; fdt resize; bootm13:03
marvin24lilstevie: mmh, we use u-boot-dtb.bin13:03
lilsteviewithout a serial console is... fun? :p13:03
marvin24which does not require loading it from somewhere else13:04
lilsteviehm13:04
marvin24do you have patches for tf101 on mainline?13:04
marvin243.1 kernel won't boot with device tree anyway13:05
lilstevieoh13:05
lilstevieeven though it has generic DT support?13:05
marvin24yes13:05
lilsteviethat could be the issue13:05
marvin24a *lot* of dt work went into mainline in the last version13:05
lilstevieah13:05
marvin24that's what the nvidia folks mostly did over the last months13:06
marvin24mainline just removed board file support ;-)13:06
lilstevie:)13:06
marvin24so, better spend your time towrite a nice device tree file for tf*0113:07
marvin24and add u-boot support13:07
lilsteviewell the seaboard device tree pretty much works with a resolution change13:08
marvin24so you got mainline kernel working already?13:08
lilstevieno u-boot13:08
marvin24ah13:08
marvin24I think linux kernel support should be a big problem then13:09
lilsteviehaven't really tried much past trying to get the device tree to load on a working 3.113:10
lilsteviemarvin24, is the ac100 stuff somewhere?13:27
rsalvetiogra_: hey, any news about the pvr driver?13:56
rsalveti:-)13:56
ogra_rsalveti, hmm, didnt infinity upload it yesterday ?14:35
rsalvetiogra_: nops14:38
ogra_yeah, doesnt seem to be in any queue14:39
ogra_i'm in a call now, will take care afterwards14:39
rsalvetiogra_: great, thanks14:39
ogra_rsalveti, uploaded (will be stuck in NEW now)14:47
rsalvetiogra_: did you also upload libdri2?14:48
rsalvetiogra_: bug 104061114:48
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1040611 in ubuntu "[needs-packaging] libdri2" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104061114:48
ogra_only libdri2 yet14:48
rsalvetioh, ok14:48
rsalvetigood, we can poke infinity when he's back on-line14:48
ogra_under the assumption that NEW processing might take a bit14:48
rsalvetiwe just need to get someone from the desktop to update compiz again14:49
rsalvetinow using the right revision14:49
ogra_seeing seb128's release report on the ubuntu-release ML they are aware it seems14:49
ogra_"* compiz GLES landing to compiz-trunk, needs to be tested and released"14:50
ogra_seems they wait for an upstream release for it14:50
rsalvetigot it15:02
Laneyogra_: Care to take a look at http://ubuntuone.com/0E3feYdrhGY1ywL9vNBjbS and tell me what I did wrong please? That's a netboot install on my panda using the latest fb image. :-)15:38
ogra_Laney, they system needs the SD card to boot (and write the bootloader to it during install)15:39
ogra_so dont unplug it ;)15:39
ogra_sorry, i'm behind with the install instructions, the wiki should say that15:40
Laneyunplug? I unplugged nothing15:40
LaneyI just did what this says http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/ARM/NetBoot15:40
ogra_how did you boot the netboot image ?15:40
ogra_and the Sd is still in the slot ?15:40
Laneyyes15:41
ogra_hmm15:41
Laneyunless it fell out ...15:41
ogra_probably bug 80675115:41
ubot2`Launchpad bug 806751 in debian-installer "Boot partition on SD is too small on omap/omap4" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/80675115:41
LaneyFix Released?15:41
ogra_though that shouldnt say "is not a block device"15:42
LaneyI'm installing with / on an attached USB drive if that matters15:42
ogra_thats fine15:43
ogra_and you used guided partitioning ?15:43
Laneymanual → select free space → auto partition15:43
ogra_hmm15:44
LaneyI think it made a separate /boot partition15:44
ogra_yes, it does that by default15:45
Laneyho hum15:48
* Laney gets a live image instead15:48
ogra_noo !15:48
ogra_get a server image at best :)15:49
ogra_desktop is totally borked due to the removal of unity-2d15:49
Laneyargh, really?15:49
ogra_yep15:49
ogra_llvmpipe on arm doesnt work...15:49
Laneysigh15:49
ogra_and there is no 2D desktop anymore ...15:49
ogra_nor are there 3D drivers yet15:50
ogra_the alpha milestone might work ... but you should refrain from upgradin15:50
Laneyi'll just get that and hold unity-2d then15:54
ogra_that should work15:54
ogra_sorry, that netboot didnt work out for you, i'll have a look over the weekend what that is15:55
ogra_weird error ... really15:55
LaneyI chose the desktop task so it would have been a bit doomed anyway :P15:56
ogra_heh, yeah15:56
Laneythere was a weird "Ubuntu Desktop (USB)" task too — wonder what that's about15:58
ogra_tasksel should be able to tell15:59
ogra_it should have at least a long description (that d-i doesnt show i think)15:59
xnoxogra_: shall we ship gnome-session-fallback on arm then?16:08
xnoxto unbreak desktop images16:08
ogra_xnox, nope, we're waiting for NEW prosessing of libdrm2 and will then have the new GLES driver in the archive shortly after16:09
ogra_no need to invest time into hacks16:09
furanis there some way to dump the sym versions using a kernel image?16:17
furanI tried looking at /proc/kallsyms but that doesn't give me the versions16:17
rolf__I am running a padaboard. is a dist-upgrade from ubuntu 11.10 server to 12.04 server a standard procedure or is there anythins special to take care of?20:09
rolf__How much time will such a dist-upgrade take?20:09
infinityrolf__: Given that 12.04 was the introduction of armhf as our supported arch, I'd recommend a reinstall.20:10
infinityrolf__: But dist-upgrading your armel install should work fine.20:10
infinity(It'll just not be armhf)20:11
rolf__thank you20:14
