ogra_rsalveti, bug 1045491 for you10:37
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1045491 in pvr-omap4 "Moving mouse messes up the desktop" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104549110:37
ogra_rsalveti, hmm, i struggel to get any monitor output on the server image ... is there any trick to make that work if no xserver and no pvr driver are installed ?11:10
ogra_yippie, my new ac100 screen arrived11:17
ogra_marvin24, do you happen to know if i still need the kernel hacks if i want to use a 1280x720 panel with the 3.1 kernel ?11:20
marvin24ogra_: yes, the resolution is hard coded11:21
ogra_k, sad11:21
marvin24maybe we could read out the edid11:21
marvin24but I have no idea how11:21
ogra_well, i guess it would be fixed if i used a kms enabled kernel11:21
marvin24not really11:22
marvin24no edid, no autoresolution11:22
ogra_oh11:22
marvin24the schematic says something about a ddc connection, though11:22
ogra_i thought kms would rely on EDID data11:22
ogra_anyway, first i need to replace the HW :)11:23
* ogra_ is a bit scared to remove the bezel11:23
* LetoThe2nd hands ogra_ an "r"11:24
ogra_lol11:24
ogra_bavarians ...11:24
LetoThe2nd\o/11:24
LetoThe2nda bavarian would never call it "brezel" though, but "brezn"11:25
ogra_oh, indeed11:25
marvin24ogra_: yes, kms needs it11:28
marvin24but there's a hard code hack ...11:28
ogra_lovely11:28
marvin24seems the ddc data path is only connected to the hdmi port11:28
ogra_well, i'm willing to live with a hack if needed, after all 720p panels arent std on the ac10011:28
ogra_(and i wouldnt have bought it if one of my ac100s wouldnt have a cracked screen)11:29
rsalvetiogra_: what is the issue with the server image? in theory you should be able to get the boot log or the console login interface just fine11:44
rsalvetiunless your panda is not recognizing your monitor from the kernel side, at least not during boot11:44
rsalvetiand the modeseting from pvr-omap4 is the one enabling and starting your monitor properly11:45
ogra_rsalveti, it works just fine when doin a serial install, but without console= set no screen comes up on the monitor11:45
ogra_there is no pvr on server installs11:45
rsalvetiogra_: and thanks for the buglink, got the kernel to build here, will give it a try now11:45
ogra_we cant ship X there11:45
rsalvetithat's fine, the kernel should still be able to set up the correct resolution and get everything in place for you11:45
rsalvetieven if you're not using X11:46
ogra_you mean if i dont have pvr installed ?11:46
rsalvetilet me boot with text and see if I can reproduce your behavior11:46
rsalvetiyup11:46
ogra_i dont even get a console after install :/11:46

ogra_well, a few more omap_sr errors11:49
rsalvetiadding drm.debug=7 omapdss.debug=1 might help us understanding what is happening11:49

ogra_http://paste.ubuntu.com/1185592/11:53
rsalvetiogra_: here it seems to work fine, after booting with 'text'11:55
ogra_rsalveti, what is bothering is that it works just fine on desktop ...11:55
rsalvetithe monitor turned itself on while opening the tty1 console11:55
ogra_on a server image ?11:55
ogra_note that desktop has no issues here either11:55
rsalvetino, desktop, but with 'text' the X11 it not even started11:55
ogra_and it didnt with the alpha release (where we had no pvr)11:56
rsalvetilet me check the logs11:56
rsalvetiogra_: when booting your desktop image, do you always see the splash before X11 starts?11:57
ogra_hmm, i didnt check, i think i didnt see it after install, but before11:57
ogra_i.e. booting the image showed it ... but it was gone after booting into the installed system11:58
rsalvetiogra_: also, can you check what happens when you use the dvi output instead of hdmi?11:58
ogra_already tried, no change11:58
ogra_i would blame my monitor (LG) ... if it wouldnt work just fine in desktop11:58

=== doko_ is now known as doko
rsalvetilet me just give the new kernel a try (with in theory fixes the flickering issue)12:07
rsalvetithis new kernel changes quite a few bits at the dss and display driver12:07
rsalvetiand reverts a few changes for omap5 as well12:07
ogra_ok12:07
ogra_if you think it hleps i can test here too12:08
rsalvetisure12:08
ndecrsalveti: so you decided to go with the ~try kernel?12:19
ndecwhere do you host the code? it's not coming from tilt-3.4..12:20
rsalvetindec: not yet, still checking what would be the side effects12:20
rsalvetiwe're using robclark's tree12:20
ndecyeah, i know.12:20
ndecbut it breaks some display interface such as DSI at least. not sure if some of your users will care about that.12:21
rsalvetiyeah, that's one of the issues I noticed here as well12:21
ndecDSI? you mean DVI, no?12:22
ndecthere is a cleaner solution that has been designed in omapdss, to fix the same issue. and that is being planned for upstreaming in the upcoming kernel.12:23
rsalvetiwhat is the current state of that?12:24
rsalvetibecause we either go with the same solution from ~try or decide to backport the proper one that will land upstream later on12:24
ndeci am hoping that we will get omapdss changes in our upcoming 3.6 tree.12:24
rsalvetibut there are a bunch of omap5 related changes at our tree as well12:24
ndecand i am also interested in a backport of the 'clean' solution.12:25
ndecomap5?12:25
rsalvetibecause we got the tree from ti-3.4 branch12:25
ndecand what do you call 'our' tree in fact? is it Andy's tree?12:25
rsalvetiyup12:25
ndecyes, tilt-3.4 has some support for OMAP5, even though it's still missing a few bits. we have another tree we use for full releases on OMAP5.12:26
ndecwe will get a tilt-3.6 eventually with similar 'feature' set as tilt-3.4. except that our primary 'dev' and test platform will become OMAP5, instead of OMAP4.12:27
ndecand that we will get the rework from omapdrm/omapdss.12:27
ndecfor OMAP4 'products' we will continue to use tilt.3.4, well our TI tree based on tilt-3.412:27
rsalvetigot it12:28
robclarkrsalveti, DVI should be working on my branch12:37
rsalvetirobclark: yup, but for some reason I'm not even getting my hdmi out to work12:39
rsalvetistill trying to understand why12:39
rsalvetihad to disable OMAP2_DSS_VENC and OMAP2_DSS_DSI for it to build12:40
robclarkrsalveti, hang on, I can pastebin my .config for you to cross check against12:42
robclarkrsalveti, http://hastebin.com/raw/gopiweniqi12:43
rsalvetirobclark: thanks, will check here12:43
robclarkrsalveti, btw, the weston shader optimizations were pushed to master last fri.. this should give a nice performance boost w/ pvr13:04
rsalvetirobclark: cool, nice to know13:04
plarsogra_: heya13:04
plarsogra_: on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/1045788 - I was trying ubuntu-server on my panda this morning and I'm seeing something very different13:05
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 1045788 in linux-ti-omap4 "screen on quantal server images stays black" [High,New]13:05
plarsogra_: with hdmi plugged in, I see the language selection screen come up, but my keyboard does not work13:06
rsalvetiplars: hey :-)13:06
plarshey rsalveti13:07
plarsrsalveti: your name sounds familiar...have we met?13:07
plars:-b13:07
rsalvetiplars: ;-)13:07
rsalvetiplars: so I guess you're at least getting your screen to work properly?13:08
rsalvetithe usb issue is a bit weird13:08
rsalvetiI'd not be surprised if this screen issue is related with the monitor you're using13:08
rsalvetias I'm able to get it to work here just fine as well13:08
rsalvetiand ogra_ seems to be getting a bunch of hdmi_display_disable messages after boot13:09
plarsrsalveti: yeah, likely13:10
plarsrsalveti, ogra_: also, even with serial, mine appears to get stuck at some point... just have a black screen now after going through a couple of steps13:25
rsalveti:-(13:25
plarswow, not sure what that was13:26
plarsI got it back though13:26
plarsno ^c or ^z, I think ^d finally did it13:26
plarsit was after network detection, after it asked me for hostname13:26
plarsscreen just went black13:26
plarsnow after ^d it continues though13:26
plarsif you didn't see this, maybe I will try to reimage this and reproduce in a moment... let me get through it as is for now thoug13:27
plarsoh, you have to manually make a partition on it now?13:29

ogra_plars, ??14:20
ogra_plars, you need to install to USB nowadays14:20
ogra_or yes, jump through several hoops and pre-partition the SD (with / and swap at minimum)14:20
ogra_apart from the screen issue both, omap and omap4 server images work fine for me14:21
elfyI have finally managed to get omap4 installed - happened to see an "omapdss HDMI error : failed to enable GPIO's" in a tty - is that a known thing or should I report it - if so what should I report it against - thanks for any help :)14:28
elfyor is it tied up with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pvr-omap4/+bug/104549114:29
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 1045491 in pvr-omap4 "Moving mouse messes up the desktop" [High,Confirmed]14:29
ogra_does your system behave as expected otherwise ?14:29
elfyI believe so ogra_ - this is the first time I've managed to get installed :)14:29
ogra_i think it prints that every time you swithc the display context ... i.e. from X to a tty or back, i see that here too14:30
elfyaah ok - thanks14:30
elfythough it is very very slow to respond to mouse14:32
ogra_hmm, i didnt find it slow14:32
ogra_i found firefox extremely slow though14:32
ogra_everything thats 3D rendered seemed fine14:32
ogra_(i dont think it is  slower than unity-2d was with the framebuffer driver in 12.04)14:33
ogra_but thats indeed totally subjective :)14:33
elfy7 seconds to report back from free -m in  aterminal, 20 secs to give the me the shutdown menu, a long time for nautilus to show anything14:34
ogra_oh, thats disk I/O ... i thought you referred to graphics14:34
elfyI was responding to " does your system behave as expected otherwise"14:35
ogra_well, using USB for / simply limits you to the max 24MB/s you can pump through a USB bus14:35
ogra_thats still a lot more than with SD, but its just USB after all14:35
elfyaah ok - so that is 'expected' - if I'd thought more I'd have not asked lol14:36
ogra_also note that there are a lot of tasks running right after install14:36
elfyok - so yea - as far as graphics - I just have that bug I linked then14:36
ogra_update-xapian-index ... locate ... lots of processes that put a horrible load on the little panda14:36
elfyyep14:37
ogra_try to let it sit fro 30min until all these bits are done14:37
elfyok14:37
ogra_and also do an additional reboot, that helps ureadahead to set up a better profile14:37
ogra_(i think it uses three runs (each run at a fresh boot) to actually build the proper profile14:37
ogra_)14:37
elfyok - will do that - and then see how it looks - thanks ogra_14:38
ogra_thanks for helping !!!14:38
ogra_:)14:38
elfywelcome  :)14:38
* ogra_ is happy about every additional tester14:39
elfylol14:39
elfyI blame balloons - so you are safe :)14:39
ogra_haha14:39
elfyI test this and xubuntu - ubuntu has enough people :)14:40
ogra_true14:40
ogra_(though i bet plars would disagree ... )14:41
elfy:)14:41
elfyI guess there's never enough people testing in truth14:41
ogra_yeah14:41
balloonshah!14:41
elfyohai balloons14:43
* balloons waves at elfy 14:47
* elfy would wave back but the channel's logged ... :p14:48
* ogra_ ponders if having the bootloader partition automounted after install is a bu or not14:49
ogra_*bug14:49
ogra_we used to hide it in the past14:49
ogra_yay, my ac100 kernel with 1280x720 hack works14:54
lilstevieogra_, nice, I kinda want an ac10014:55
lilstevieseems like a bit of fun14:55
ogra_buy one then :)14:56
lilsteviehah14:56
LetoThe2ndfar too expensive.14:56
* lilstevie doesn't think he could convince the mrs that he needs it14:56
* LetoThe2nd repeatedly thought hard about if he needs another arm tablet/notebook device. i couldn't find any use case, so the answer obviously is no.14:57
ogra_LetoThe2nd, http://www.amazon.de/Toshiba-AC100-10V-Netbook-Android-schwarz/dp/B003YJ67T214:57
ogra_169€14:57
xnoxhmm... good price.14:57
xnoxogra_: do they ship to UK?14:57
ogra_i think you can still get them used on amazon.co.uk somewhere :)14:58
LetoThe2ndogra_: jsut for _having_ but not _using_ 170€ is still too much.14:58
ogra_xnox, you likely dont want a german kbd :)14:58
xnoxogra_: yes. I want US one14:58
ogra_there are no US ac100's14:58
plarsogra_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/1045855 any suggestions what else I could try here?14:58

ogra_uk, fr, russian, german iirc14:59
TypoNAMogra_: US never gets the cool toys :/14:59
ogra_plars, do you have a serial console enabled when it doesnt work ?14:59
xnoxogra_: according to amazon.co.uk 169 EUR is 287 GBP, instead of 133 GBP14:59
ogra_i have seen d-i take the input from serial while displaying on framebuffer before15:00
plarsogra_: I do, but when I switch over to the serial pre-env, it seems that nothing is shown on the graphical display, so there's nothing to interact with15:00
ogra_xnox, heh, yeah, they are bad at math ... especially when it comes to GBP15:00
plarsogra_: I did try pressing keys on the serial console, just to see if it would affect what was happing on my screen, no luck15:01
ogra_plars, well, for laughs, try hitting the up/down keys in your serial console and watch the monitor15:01
xnoxogra_: i think they thing they are rather good with math, and customers aren't15:01
plarsogra_: yeah, tried that15:01
ogra_ah, you did15:01
plarsI'll play with it some more later... let me get through some more tests15:02
ogra_yeah, as lon as seerial works i'm not too concerned15:02
ogra_plain serial installs are fine for server ...15:02
ogra_(not that we dont need to fix this, but its not a beta blocker imho)15:03
plarsogra_: right15:03
plarsI know what you mean :)15:03
plarsit's possible to install for sure, so it's good enough for beta15:03
ogra_yep15:03
ogra_i'll have to write a little novel for the release notes though15:03
