xnoxogra_: as per "Documentation, firmware and drivers" section in http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing I see no problem with keeping panda images as "Ubuntu Desktop"13:20
xnoxit has been re-inforced by TB in the past that on case-by-case we do include firmware and drivers provided that they "do not restrict our ability to make Ubuntu available free of charge, and that you can continue to redistribute Ubuntu."13:21
ogra_xnox, right, and the TB decision that pitti referred to explicitly stated the deriver exception13:22
ogra_*driver13:22
xnoxyes.13:22
ogra_but we still should make users aware of the fact that there are binary drivers included13:23

ubot2Launchpad bug 723831 in ubiquity "Installer – The option to 'install third-party software' when installing Ubuntu should be selected by default (aka "make Youtube work")" [Wishlist,Won't fix]13:23
xnoxhe even wrote the comment himself =)13:23
ogra_(not only to warn them but also because they will love us for that ;) )13:23
xnoxI can totally see "love" comming our way13:23
ogra_:)13:23
ogra_stgraber, so playingg with the zatab i can see it initializes the LCD backlight when u-boot comes up (still fiddling with the kernel) so something is definitely working right here13:25
ogra_i wonder if the kernel just defaults to HDMI ;)13:25
stgraberogra_: AFAIK getting a working kernel framebuffer before X is quite tricky, maybe rbelem managed it now. My initial try was to mess with my setup until I'd get something to appear in the logs on the microsd, though without much success.13:28
ogra_well, zareason shows pics of ubuntu running on the tab on their facebook page13:29
ogra_but thats attached via hdmi13:29
ogra_they should just make the images available they have ...13:29
ogra_even if they are crappy13:29
ogra_oh, btw, there is no /proc/config.gz in the default android ... seems they disabled that :/13:30
ogra_stgraber, hmm, seems *everything* related to graphics output is a module in the defconfig13:38
ogra_stgraber, where did you get the script and bootscr from again ?13:56
stgraberogra_: script.fex is a clear text version of script.bin from /dev/nand1. On our model it's: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1214832/13:59
ogra_thx13:59
stgraberogra_: the boot.cmd is a fairly standard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1214835/13:59

ogra_ok, this kernel is definitely doing something14:02
ogra_heh, framebuffer console is disabled by default14:25
ogra_grmbl, so i'm pretty sure the kernel comes up fine14:36
ogra_the backlight level changes definitely after a few seconds when booting14:37
ogra_(which doesnt happen if i remove uImage)14:37
zumbihi!14:59
zumbido you know what are default user/passwd for precise armhf images?15:00
ogra_??15:00
ogra_the same as on official debian images (read: there are none)15:00
ogra_we expect the initial user to be created by the installer :)15:01
ogra_zumbi, what images are you trying15:01
zumbihttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/15:01
ogra_what arch ?15:01
zumbiogra_: on VGA monitor it brings you to desktop and asks questions, but I got a login on serial tty, after enabling it15:02
zumbiogra_: armhf15:02
zumbiogra_: for mx515:02
ogra_well, normally it should run oem-config (subset of ubiquity) and create a user15:03
zumbiogra_: right, it does that, I just dont have USB keyboard around to enter the details15:03
ogra_after all that is done that user should exist on the system and you should be able to log in with these credentials15:03
ogra_beyond that, there is no user at that point, the rootfs is competely virgin15:04
zumbinot even for root?15:04
ogra_ubuntu doesnt make use of root ;)15:04
ogra_sudo by default15:04
ogra_so the root account is always locked15:04
zumbiright.. that's a bit crazy15:04
ogra_i would suggest using a server image ...15:05
ogra_they default to serial for everything15:05
zumbithere are no server images for mx515:05
ogra_(and tasksel offers ubuntu-desktop too if you want it)15:05
zumbiogra_: well, thanks, I think I'll hack a user/pass with qemu15:05
ogra_hmm, i thought we had them15:05
ogra_zumbi, non need for qemu ...15:06
ogra_just sedit /etc/shadow on the SD15:06
* GrueMaster had suggested netboot images as a bare minimum for all hardware, but ....15:06
ogra_but be aware that you miss configuration indeed15:06
zumbiogra_: what do i need to change in /etc/shadow?15:08
ogra_the exclamation mark for the root pw15:08
ogra_just remove it15:08
zumbiroot:*:15453:0:99999:7:::15:08
zumbithere is no !15:09
ogra_then the *15:11
ogra_should end up like a debian install where you set no rootpw15:12

xnoxbooting panda desktop image....16:59
RoyKshould work...17:02
xnoxogra_: can you boot desktop panda sd card for installation.... but do not attach any other hard-drives17:43
xnoxwhat is your expectation from ubiquity?17:43
xnoxcurrently it goes straight from wifi setup -> manual partitioning screen17:44
xnoxand finish button can be clicked dispite not doing anything useful (well crash)17:45
ogra_xnox, hmm, it should pop up the notice about installing to source media and let you do it19:16
xnoxogra_: well installing back on to the sd card should be supported.19:27
xnoxogra_: and stgraber said on #-release that why did it not get stuck at the prepare page - not enough disk space19:27
xnoxogra_: and if it didn't get stuck there, why didn't d-i offer auto-partitioning19:27
xnoxogra_: see bug 105303019:28
ubot2Launchpad bug 1053030 in ubiquity "highly confusing UI on desktop when installation media is big enough and no external storage is attached" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/105303019:28
ogra_xnox, i think simply because mmc support in d-i is really not across the board19:31
ogra_when we started with arm it didnt have any at all19:31
ogra_and we only implemented bits on the go where we needed them ... the partitioner never was among these19:32
ogra_since we never used Sd as target before19:32
xnoxyeah, only in the pre-installed case.19:32
xnoxbut no ubiquity in pre-installed case.19:33
infinitysd wasn't a "target" in preinstalled, either.  It was just, well, pre-installed. :P19:33
xnox=))))) lolz19:33
infinity(And it totally used ubiquity)19:33
ogra_yeah19:33
xnoxinfinity: ok, no partman =)))))19:33
infinityRight.19:33
ogra_ac100 images still work that way today19:33
infinityBecause no installing.19:33
ogra_right19:33
xnoxright. So who wants to implement partman-auto support for mmc19:34
xnoxin particular biggest_free should be doable.19:34
infinityI don't honestly see why it should be different in any way from the /dev/sdX support.19:34
ogra_right19:34
infinityExcept that the device nodes are named differently.19:34
infinityOtherwise, the partition tables are the same, the high level interfaces to talk to it all is the same.19:35
ogra_and its likely just some kind of case statement )or equivalent) that needs to be enhanced19:35
xnoxfor some reason it is. I will poke it a bit.19:35
xnoxFor some reason it none of the autopartitioning recipes qualify and it drops into manual partitioning, e.g. partman/choose_partition19:35
xnoxwhich breaks ubiquity's state-machine =)19:36
infinity(Maybe a bit of sauce to make /dev/mmc* device filesystems be mounted with flash-friendly options would be nice, but that's actually a more widespread problem that also affect installing to USB sticks on /dev/sd* as well)19:36
ogra_there are several bugs about that19:36
ogra_TRIM support etc19:36
