xnoxogra_: is bug 1042930 valid or are the instructions over here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/QA/Pandaboard are incomplete?07:37
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1042930 in ubiquity "partition size error during install of Quantal on Panda board" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104293007:37
elfyxnox: I've seen that resizing partitions error elsewhere as well as on pandaboard07:39
xnoxelfy: true, that's a standard d-i prompt. pandaboard is special =) cause you boot of SD and it is sometimes possible to install back on to SD07:41
xnoxi'm not sure if the reporter of 1042930 did everything right or not.07:41
elfythey did exactly the same as I've done07:41
elfywhether that is right is another matter of course ;)07:42

cob-olpI managed to run ubuntu-tv on my pandaboard07:48
cob-olpI have ubuntu 12.0407:48
cob-olphowever ubuntu tv is very slow (10s to change selection)07:50
cob-olplooks like the animation causes problems07:50

rsalvetiogra_: mind trying latest pvr-omap4 from https://launchpad.net/~rsalveti/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=quantal ?09:03
rsalvetiogra_: tested here and it built fine with the latest stock kernel09:03

* ogra_ tries es2_info10:29
ogra_wow, pretty slow, but GLES is there10:32
* ogra_ reboots the panda10:32

hrwGenerating kernel u-boot image... /usr/sbin/flash-kernel: 287: /usr/sbin/flash-kernel: mkimage: not found10:44
hrwshould not flash-kernel depend/recommend u-boot-tools?10:44
ogra_hrw, no, else you would install it on all systems using flash-kernel10:44
ogra_d-i/ubiquity should have installed it10:45
ogra_its part of the bootloader setup process10:45
hrwwhat about systems installed with debootstrap?10:46
ogra_hrw, if thats a normal ubuntu install from one of our images, please file a bug against flash-kernel (namely the flash-kernel-installer udeb)10:46
hrwogra_: thats issue from trystack system. I do not know how base image there was prepared10:47
ogra_well, i assume people using debootstrap know which debconf bits they need to set to make the system work proper as well as which packages they need to install to do that10:47
hrwanyway I am fine with situation10:47
hrwI want fast arm machine with 2+GB ram and fast storage ;)10:48
ogra_building a properly set up system based on a bare bootstrap simply requires a lot of bits to be put in place, if people want a proper installation and dont know that they should use a preseedded d-i or some such instead10:48
ogra_rsalveti, uploaded :)10:51

cob-olpI've made apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras on ubuntu 12.04 on pandaboard11:16
cob-olpsince then ubuntu-tv does not start11:19
cob-olphttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1173624/11:19
cob-olpany idea?11:20
ogra_check if your pvr driver is properly installed and built11:21
ogra_lsmod |grep pvr11:21
ogra_also make sure if you use the PPA packages that you install the kernel from the PPA ... the driver in the PPA is incompatible with the kernel from the archive11:22
ogra_(for details talk to TI though, we dont maintain the PPA)11:23
cob-olplsmod | grep pvr returns11:23
cob-olpomapdrm_pvr11:23
cob-olpI have official 12.04 image11:25
cob-olpand then I made dist-upgrade11:26
cob-olpand install extras11:26
ogra_right, which ships a pvr from the archive that matches the kernel from the archive ...11:26
ogra_if you switch to the PPA yoou need to install the TI maintained kernel from the PPA as well11:26
ogra_check if that happened through a package dependency (uname -a should tell you what you are running, compare with whats in the PPA)11:27
ogra_ubuntu doesnt test the TI PPA stuff, we only make sure whats in the archive works11:27
cob-olphow can I check what is in PPA11:27
ogra_on the launchapd page of the PPA11:28
cob-olpI have 3.4.0-1485-omap411:28
cob-olphere? https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/release11:29
ogra_looks liek a PPA kernel, ubuntu doesnt use 3.4 at all on omap411:29
cob-olpso it's not good?11:31
ogra_no idea, talk to TI11:32
ogra_(try in #pandaboard)11:32
cob-olpbut kernel is ok?11:32
cob-olpI used this tutorial11:33
cob-olphttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pandaboard/vUZO9NWFcT0/_Pd3kNpDYkQJ11:33
cob-olpthere is info about kernel change11:33
cob-olpso I assume that the proper one was installe11:33
ogra_as i said, i have no idea and we usually dont test the PPA ... TI does11:34
cob-olpok11:34
cob-olpthank you, will try on #pandaboard11:36
ogra_yeah ... face the future !11:36

lilstevieogra_, :D it will rock even more if nvidia fix their driver11:38
ogra_butu i cant include it in the image directly due to its license11:38

ogra_xnox, i commented on bug 104293012:39
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1042930 in ubiquity "partition size error during install of Quantal on Panda board" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104293012:39
ogra_i actually think partman shouldnt show the SD at all12:39
ogra_(not sure how to implement that cleanly though)12:39
xnoxogra_: dd does a binary copy below kernel buffers only with -oflags direct12:41
ogra_are you sure ?12:41
xnoxwhich then uses directio12:41
ogra_i mean are yoou sure sync does anything ?12:42
xnoxogra_: note "kernel buffers" not "filesystem buffers" =)12:42
ogra_please correct me then in the bug :)12:42
xnoxogra_: no, I am not sure. Because I didn't check the source.12:42
ogra_heh, ok12:42
ogra_i have never seen any write activity in 5 years when calling the sync for an SD12:43
xnoxogra_: I do know that I get lower speed with '-oflags direct' & sync takes some time when I don't use '-oflags direct'12:43
xnox=)))))))))))) ok, better test than mine, cause that sync could be going anywhere12:43
ogra_(after dd'in indeed)12:43
ogra_anyway, despite the sync issue ... shoudl we hide the source media ?12:44
xnoxogra_: that's a question for you. d-i does show a warning message that "so and so is the source media" so it does know which one it is running off, such that it should be easy to implement the "hiding" bit at partman level.12:45
xnoxapart from arm, I don't know any other uses cases when we install onto target.12:45
xnoxogra_: I wonder if oem's dd the ISO to create "recovery partition" similar to how windows can do it.12:46
ogra_not only d-i shows that12:46
xnoxok.12:46
ogra_unless someone patched ubiquity very recently to not show it12:46
xnoxnah. All unknown warnings fall through to the generic "show gtk dialog with whatever blurb d-i is trying to display; add ok button"12:47
xnoxso it still should be shown, it's just not "designed warning"12:48
ogra_k12:48
rsalvetiogra_: great14:44
ogra_xnox, !14:46
ogra_xnox, i just checked my automated omap install that ran last night14:47
ogra_it sits at:14:47
ogra_Your installation medium is on /dev/mmcblk0p2. You will not be able to create,14:47
ogra_delete, or resize partitions on this disk, but you may be able to install to14:47
ogra_existing partitions there.14:47
ogra_so there is *definitely* something different than last week14:47
ogra_(the install is preseeded and the preseed file didnt change since weeks, the last test definitely finished without that question14:50

ogra_rsalveti, so i just etst the newest compiz here. while all seems to work its horribly flickering when i move windows around16:40
ogra_is that a known issue (could be due to m setup though)16:40
rsalvetiogra_: that's a known issue, kernel related17:45
rsalvetithere's a wip kernel from robclark that fixes it17:45
rsalvetiogra_: so it's good, at least the userspace side of things is working, finally then17:45
rsalvetiogra_: did it land at the archive already?17:45
* rsalveti trying to find robclark's kernel17:45
rsalvetirobclark: there you are17:45
rsalvetirobclark_: have a link to your wip kernel which works better with sgx/compiz?17:46
robclark_hi rsalveti.. it should be on github.com/robclark/kernel-omap4.. hang on a sec..17:47
robclark_rsalveti, dispc-hl-split branch17:47
rsalvetirobclark_: thanks17:48
ekryskiHey all. I am running Ubuntu 12.04LTS on a pandaboard. I was wondering if anyone has gotten NodeJS working on one yet.18:20
ekryskiI'm just attempting it right now but was wondering if there were any resources someone could point me at. Haven't found anything pandaboard specific online18:21
