[12:33] <IamTrying> Is Ubuntu 12.04 available for Asus Tablet?
[12:34] <lilstevie> IamTrying, officially? no
[12:34] <lilstevie> but specifically which asus tablet
[12:34] <IamTrying> lilstevie, no problem. Asus Tablet Eee pad transformer
[12:35] <IamTrying> I have old Ubuntu installed but its touch is not working.
[12:35] <IamTrying> lilstevie, ^
[12:36] <lilstevie> touch sounds like something else
[12:36] <lilstevie> cause any version of ubuntu that I have released an image of has working touch
[12:36] <lilstevie> just fwiw
[12:36] <IamTrying> lilstevie, 12.04 do you have ? I want to test today
[12:36] <lilstevie> no
[12:36] <IamTrying> OK - then i have problem, i have to reverse to Android
[12:37] <lilstevie> you could always try that netinstaller that someone did
[12:37] <IamTrying> OK
[12:39] <IamTrying> lilstevie, i did it almost year ago, i am not sure if this was the valid link if you may know? e.g: http://lilstevie.geek.nz/ports/OLiFE-Prime-Edition.tar.gz
[12:54] <angs> what is the latest gcc version to download for "apt-get install gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi" ?
[12:55] <janimo> IamTrying, touchscreen or touchpad is not working on the transformer?
[13:06] <angs> which one is for beagleboard-xm arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-linux-gnueabihf?
[13:11] <IamTrying> janimo, actually all working but i have to use OLiFE manually to bring the virtual keyboard for Ubuntu (physically touchscreen working well)
[13:11] <IamTrying> the problem is i need Ubuntu 12.04 (the old one is not stable, it breaks my apps)
[13:12] <janimo> IamTrying, ok. No experience with Olife myself
[13:12] <IamTrying> janimo, Well thats the best one, ever worked.
[13:13] <ogra_> angs, gnueabi = armel, gnueabihf = armhf ... depends what your beagle runs :)
[13:14] <angs> armhf, thank you ogra_
[13:16] <lilstevie> IamTrying, I would be a little worried that 11.10 apps are breaking all of a sudden
[13:18] <IamTrying> lilstevie, yes it is, for audio capture and video capture 12.04 is most stable in my case.
[13:20] <IamTrying> lilstevie, 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.
[14:27] <IamTrying> Is it normal OLiFE taking more then 2 hour to install the dual option? Still its ....
[14:28] <IamTrying> Put your device in APX mode then press any key : did ....."more then 2 hour left.."
[14:35] <lilstevie> pastie the whole output cause no
[14:37] <IamTrying> lilstevie, https://gist.github.com/3806921
[14:38] <lilstevie> did you press... well any key
[14:38] <IamTrying> Enter the first one
[14:38] <lilstevie> cause as far as that log is concerned you haven't
[14:39] <IamTrying> lilstevie, i did Enter, space or a b bla bla...
[14:39] <IamTrying> but still more then 2 hour gone, saying nothing....
[14:39] <lilstevie> yeah it actually says something, and so should your tablet
[14:39] <lilstevie> try running nvflash on its own
[14:45] <IamTrying> lilstevie, Thanks its doing correctly now, i have problem remembering things what i did before getting older :-(
[14:45] <IamTrying> I did not put it in APX mode, therefore failed.
[18:55] <VarmVaffel> is there any way to apt-get install mtd-utils so that the binaries don't get saved in /usr/sbin
[18:55] <VarmVaffel> so I don't have to be sudo to run them
[19:55] <infinity> VarmVaffel: Where they live on the filesystem doesn't define who can usefully run them.
[19:55] <VarmVaffel> yeah I found out
[19:56] <infinity> VarmVaffel: 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] <VarmVaffel> no they worked without root
[19:56] <VarmVaffel> thanks for the tips though
[19:58] <infinity> Ahh, 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] <infinity> sbin is generally for stuff that really needs root to be useful.
[19:59] <VarmVaffel> hm yeah ok sure
[19:59] <VarmVaffel> it was in the standard mtd-utils package
[20:06] <VarmVaffel> ok it seems like way too much trouble for me with registering an account and reading the guidelines for reporting a bug like this
[20:06] <VarmVaffel> someone else will have to do it :P
[20:38] <mjrosenb> js.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 stripped
[20:38] <mjrosenb> should that be a valid executable on a pandaboard running ubuntu-12.04.1?
[21:15] <VarmVaffel> seems like it
[22:31] <mjrosenb> VarmVaffel: well, the kernel does not seem to like it
[22:32] <mjrosenb> this was built on my debian machine using a cross compiler.
[22:32] <mjrosenb> building on the board seems to work
[22:32] <VarmVaffel> what cross compiler
[22:32] <mjrosenb> (but takes several orders of magnitude longer)
[22:32] <VarmVaffel> arm-linux-gnueabi?
[22:32] <mjrosenb> emdebian
[22:32] <mjrosenb> yes.
[22:32] <VarmVaffel> and you specified the target arcH?
[22:32] <VarmVaffel> or board or whatnot
[22:33] <mjrosenb> -march=armv7-a
[22:33] <VarmVaffel> then I'm really not sure, never cross compield anything for that particular board before
[22:33] <VarmVaffel> though I do have it in my drawer
[22:35] <mjrosenb> ok, it works on my tegra2, which is running 2.6.38.3+ from ubuntu-11.04
[22:35] <mjrosenb> is it possible that the pandaboard is using -hf, but the tegra isn't?
[22:36] <mjrosenb> file output does not seem to mention -hf versus softfp
[22:42] <infinity> File doesn't.
[22:42] <infinity> You want "readelf -A /path/to/binary"
[22:42] <infinity> But if you installed from Ubuntu 12.04 images, they're armhf, yes.
[22:43] <infinity> And your binary is likely armel.
[23:09] <mjrosenb> so i'll need to get a toolchain that outputs -hf?
[23:09] <mjrosenb> hrmm, this is non-ideal, since i'm pretty sure android runs -el not -hf
[23:09] <mjrosenb> infinity: what should be in the output of readelf -A?
[23:10] <mjrosenb>   Tag_FP_arch: VFPv3-D16
[23:10] <mjrosenb> would be my guess?
[23:10] <mjrosenb> or   Tag_ABI_HardFP_use: SP and DP
[23:11] <mjrosenb> but either way, ew.
