[07:37] <xnox> ogra_: 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/1042930
[07:39] <elfy> xnox: I've seen that resizing partitions error elsewhere as well as on pandaboard
[07:41] <xnox> elfy: 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 SD
[07:41] <xnox> i'm not sure if the reporter of 1042930 did everything right or not.
[07:41] <elfy> they did exactly the same as I've done
[07:42] <elfy> whether that is right is another matter of course ;)
[07:48] <cob-olp> hi
[07:48] <cob-olp> I managed to run ubuntu-tv on my pandaboard
[07:48] <cob-olp> I have ubuntu 12.04
[07:50] <cob-olp> however ubuntu tv is very slow (10s to change selection)
[07:50] <cob-olp> looks like the animation causes problems
=== chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson
[07:55] <cob-olp> does this mean that there is no hardware acceleration?
[08:15] <cob-olp> probably no because movies are not watchable
[09:03] <rsalveti> ogra_: 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] <rsalveti> ogra_: tested here and it built fine with the latest stock kernel

[10:29]  * ogra_ tries es2_info
[10:32] <ogra_> wow, pretty slow, but GLES is there

[10:44] <hrw> Generating kernel u-boot image... /usr/sbin/flash-kernel: 287: /usr/sbin/flash-kernel: mkimage: not found
[10:44] <hrw> should not flash-kernel depend/recommend u-boot-tools?
[10:44] <ogra_> hrw, no, else you would install it on all systems using flash-kernel
[10:45] <ogra_> d-i/ubiquity should have installed it
[10:45] <ogra_> its part of the bootloader setup process
[10:46] <hrw> what 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)
[10:47] <hrw> ogra_: thats issue from trystack system. I do not know how base image there was prepared
[10:47] <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 that
[10:47] <hrw> anyway I am fine with situation
[10:48] <hrw> I 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 instead

[11:16] <cob-olp> I've made apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras on ubuntu 12.04 on pandaboard
[11:19] <cob-olp> since then ubuntu-tv does not start
[11:19] <cob-olp> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1173624/
[11:20] <cob-olp> any idea?
[11:21] <ogra_> check if your pvr driver is properly installed and built
[11:21] <ogra_> lsmod |grep pvr
[11:22] <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 archive
[11:23] <ogra_> (for details talk to TI though, we dont maintain the PPA)
[11:23] <cob-olp> lsmod | grep pvr returns
[11:23] <cob-olp> omapdrm_pvr
[11:25] <cob-olp> I have official 12.04 image
[11:26] <cob-olp> and then I made dist-upgrade
[11:26] <cob-olp> and install extras
[11:26] <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 well
[11:27] <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 works
[11:27] <cob-olp> how can I check what is in PPA
[11:28] <ogra_> on the launchapd page of the PPA
[11:28] <cob-olp> I have 3.4.0-1485-omap4
[11:29] <cob-olp> here? https://launchpad.net/~tiomap-dev/+archive/release
[11:29] <ogra_> looks liek a PPA kernel, ubuntu doesnt use 3.4 at all on omap4
[11:31] <cob-olp> so it's not good?
[11:32] <ogra_> no idea, talk to TI
[11:32] <ogra_> (try in #pandaboard)
[11:32] <cob-olp> but kernel is ok?
[11:33] <cob-olp> I used this tutorial
[11:33] <cob-olp> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/pandaboard/vUZO9NWFcT0/_Pd3kNpDYkQJ
[11:33] <cob-olp> there is info about kernel change
[11:33] <cob-olp> so I assume that the proper one was installe
[11:34] <ogra_> as i said, i have no idea and we usually dont test the PPA ... TI does
[11:34] <cob-olp> ok
[11:36] <cob-olp> thank you, will try on #pandaboard
[11:36] <ogra_> yeah ... face the future !

[11:36] <ogra_> *quantal too :P
[11:38] <lilstevie> ogra_, :D it will rock even more if nvidia fix their driver
[11:38] <ogra_> butu i cant include it in the image directly due to its license
[11:38] <ogra_> (we can ship it in an image pool though, so it gets immediately installed after teh setup)
[11:38] <lilstevie> hm
[12:39] <ogra_> xnox, i commented on bug 1042930
[12:39] <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1042930 in ubiquity "partition size error during install of Quantal on Panda board" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1042930
[12:39] <ogra_> i actually think partman shouldnt show the SD at all
[12:39] <ogra_> (not sure how to implement that cleanly though)
[12:41] <xnox> ogra_: dd does a binary copy below kernel buffers only with -oflags direct
[12:41] <ogra_> are you sure ?
[12:41] <xnox> which then uses directio
[12:42] <ogra_> i mean are yoou sure sync does anything ?
[12:42] <xnox> ogra_: note "kernel buffers" not "filesystem buffers" =)
[12:42] <ogra_> please correct me then in the bug :)
[12:42] <xnox> ogra_: no, I am not sure. Because I didn't check the source.
[12:42] <ogra_> heh, ok
[12:43] <ogra_> i have never seen any write activity in 5 years when calling the sync for an SD
[12:43] <xnox> ogra_: 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 anywhere
[12:43] <ogra_> (after dd'in indeed)
[12:44] <ogra_> anyway, despite the sync issue ... shoudl we hide the source media ?
[12:45] <xnox> ogra_: 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] <xnox> apart from arm, I don't know any other uses cases when we install onto target.
[12:46] <xnox> ogra_: 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 that
[12:46] <xnox> ok.
[12:46] <ogra_> unless someone patched ubiquity very recently to not show it
[12:47] <xnox> nah. All unknown warnings fall through to the generic "show gtk dialog with whatever blurb d-i is trying to display; add ok button"
[12:48] <xnox> so it still should be shown, it's just not "designed warning"
[12:48] <ogra_> k
[14:44] <rsalveti> ogra_: great
[14:46] <ogra_> xnox, !
[14:47] <ogra_> xnox, i just checked my automated omap install that ran last night
[14:47] <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 to
[14:47] <ogra_> existing partitions there.
[14:47] <ogra_> so there is *definitely* something different than last week
[14:50] <ogra_> (the install is preseeded and the preseed file didnt change since weeks, the last test definitely finished without that question
[14:50] <ogra_> )

[16:40] <ogra_> rsalveti, so i just etst the newest compiz here. while all seems to work its horribly flickering when i move windows around
[16:40] <ogra_> is that a known issue (could be due to m setup though)
[17:45] <rsalveti> ogra_: that's a known issue, kernel related
[17:45] <rsalveti> there's a wip kernel from robclark that fixes it
[17:45] <rsalveti> ogra_: so it's good, at least the userspace side of things is working, finally then
[17:45] <rsalveti> ogra_: did it land at the archive already?
[17:45]  * rsalveti trying to find robclark's kernel
[17:45] <rsalveti> robclark: there you are
[17:46] <rsalveti> robclark_: have a link to your wip kernel which works better with sgx/compiz?
[17:47] <robclark_> hi rsalveti.. it should be on github.com/robclark/kernel-omap4.. hang on a sec..
