angswhat is the latest gcc version to download for "apt-get install gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi" ?12:54
janimoIamTrying, touchscreen or touchpad is not working on the transformer?12:55
angswhich one is for beagleboard-xm arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-linux-gnueabihf?13:06
IamTryingjanimo, actually all working but i have to use OLiFE manually to bring the virtual keyboard for Ubuntu (physically touchscreen working well)13:11
IamTryingthe problem is i need Ubuntu 12.04 (the old one is not stable, it breaks my apps)13:11
janimoIamTrying, ok. No experience with Olife myself13:12
IamTryingjanimo, Well thats the best one, ever worked.13:12
ogra_angs, gnueabi = armel, gnueabihf = armhf ... depends what your beagle runs :)13:13
angsarmhf, thank you ogra_13:14
lilstevieIamTrying, I would be a little worried that 11.10 apps are breaking all of a sudden13:16
IamTryinglilstevie, yes it is, for audio capture and video capture 12.04 is most stable in my case.13:18
IamTryinglilstevie, i used OLiFE long time ago, and i was using it. But few months ago it was crashed, without any reason, like it was rebooting over and over. I did not had time to fix it, so today again reinstalling it. FYI.13:20
IamTryingIs it normal OLiFE taking more then 2 hour to install the dual option? Still its ....14:27
IamTryingPut your device in APX mode then press any key : did ....."more then 2 hour left.."14:28

VarmVaffelis there any way to apt-get install mtd-utils so that the binaries don't get saved in /usr/sbin18:55
VarmVaffelso I don't have to be sudo to run them18:55
infinityVarmVaffel: Where they live on the filesystem doesn't define who can usefully run them.19:55
VarmVaffelyeah I found out19:55
infinityVarmVaffel: You could copy the binaries to your home directory, or execute them as a regular user from /usr/sbin/ and they'd likely still be just as useless, cause they require root to do anything.19:56
VarmVaffelno they worked without root19:56
VarmVaffelthanks for the tips though19:56
infinityAhh, if they really do work without root, you might want to file a Debian bug (or an Ubuntu bug, if it's an Ubuntu-specific package) pointing out that the binaries shouldn't be in sbin.19:58
infinitysbin is generally for stuff that really needs root to be useful.19:58
VarmVaffelhm yeah ok sure19:59
VarmVaffelit was in the standard mtd-utils package19:59
VarmVaffelok it seems like way too much trouble for me with registering an account and reading the guidelines for reporting a bug like this20:06
VarmVaffelsomeone else will have to do it :P20:06

mjrosenbjs.bad:  ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, BuildID[sha1]=0x31dcd167f7d3c1741274062f1201a623544788e9, not stripped20:38
mjrosenbshould that be a valid executable on a pandaboard running ubuntu-12.04.1?20:38
VarmVaffelseems like it21:15

mjrosenbVarmVaffel: well, the kernel does not seem to like it22:31
mjrosenbthis was built on my debian machine using a cross compiler.22:32
mjrosenbbuilding on the board seems to work22:32
VarmVaffelwhat cross compiler22:32
mjrosenb(but takes several orders of magnitude longer)22:32
VarmVaffelarm-linux-gnueabi?22:32
mjrosenbemdebian22:32
mjrosenbyes.22:32
VarmVaffeland you specified the target arcH?22:32
VarmVaffelor board or whatnot22:32
mjrosenb-march=armv7-a22:33
VarmVaffelthen I'm really not sure, never cross compield anything for that particular board before22:33
VarmVaffelthough I do have it in my drawer22:33
mjrosenbok, it works on my tegra2, which is running 2.6.38.3+ from ubuntu-11.0422:35
mjrosenbis it possible that the pandaboard is using -hf, but the tegra isn't?22:35
mjrosenbfile output does not seem to mention -hf versus softfp22:36
infinityFile doesn't.22:42
infinityYou want "readelf -A /path/to/binary"22:42
infinityBut if you installed from Ubuntu 12.04 images, they're armhf, yes.22:42
infinityAnd your binary is likely armel.22:43
mjrosenbso i'll need to get a toolchain that outputs -hf?23:09
mjrosenbhrmm, this is non-ideal, since i'm pretty sure android runs -el not -hf23:09
mjrosenbinfinity: what should be in the output of readelf -A?23:09
mjrosenb  Tag_FP_arch: VFPv3-D1623:10
mjrosenbwould be my guess?23:10
mjrosenbor   Tag_ABI_HardFP_use: SP and DP23:10
mjrosenbbut either way, ew.23:11
