wookeyinfinity: OK. I have an initial eglibc2.16 aarch64 support patch. What do you want me to do with it? File a bug and attach?00:17
infinityGrueMaster: Replaced by openjdk-7-jre-headless and python3-software-properties, I'd assume.00:17
wookeybtw it still requires gcc-4.6 - is that right?00:17
wookeythat's a problem for aarch64 cross-build - as there is no such thing00:17
infinitywookey: Hang on to it until we chat tomorrow? :)00:17
wookeyOK00:17
infinitywookey: And we'll figure out how to make it work with 4.7, or die trying.00:18
wookeyheh00:18
GrueMasterinfinity: Thanks.  Guess I should fix my preseed.00:18

ogra_infinity, i'm just uploading tegra and tegra3 drivers with the broken libs, please have a look (i added a changelog note about the libs and documented a manual workaround in the bug)11:52
stullukHi12:37
stullukI have an ARM based hardware, with CPU ARM 926 EJS @216Mhz12:38
stullukFlash is 32Mbyte NOR12:38
stullukDRAM is 256Mbyte DDR212:38
stullukIs it possible to use ubuntu arm on this platform?12:39
XavBogra_: rsalveti: ndec: I can see that trunk PPA is almost full: 2.7 GiB (89.99%) of 3.0 GiB. Is it possible to increase the size to prevent problems?12:48
ndecoops...12:48
ogra_iirc you can ask in #launchpad for that, yeah12:48
lilsteviestulluk, no, the ARM-926 is ARMv5T from the small bit of googling I just did. support was dropped for that quite a while ago. you might have some luck with debian though12:49
XavBogra_: who shall I ask to  on #launchpad?12:53
ogra_XavB, hmm, no idea, i would just assk into the room what it takes to raise the limit12:58
VarmVaffelhow do I go by making the linux kernel boot in a verbose mode?13:26
VarmVaffeldo I have to recompile it with some setting, or can I add some arguments to e.g. the bootloader?13:26
ogra_put earlyprintk on the kernel cmdline and drop quiet13:27
VarmVaffelI see, thanks13:28
VarmVaffelDo I have to have the earlyprintk print to another UART, or can I point both the console and it to the same?13:29
ogra_it will always print to the console you have set13:30
ogra_if oyu have more than one console= option, the first one is for kernel, the second is for userspace13:30
VarmVaffelah right think I understand13:31
ogra_if you have only one it will be used for both13:31
VarmVaffelI was looking at some u-boot examples here and it specifiesa another uart every time13:31
VarmVaffela separate one from the console13:31
ogra_if you have none, the default will be used (usually console=tty1)13:32
VarmVaffelright ok13:32
VarmVaffelbah it was already at max verbosity I think13:40
VarmVaffel:[13:40
plarsogra_: heya, around?14:03
ogra_plars, yes, but in meetings for eth rest of the day (atrting in 5 min)14:05
ogra_*starting14:05
ogra_whats up ?14:05
plarsogra_: just wanted to catch up on a couple of things I'm seeing on panda, ping me if you have one finish early and have a few minutes?14:06
ogra_plars, shoot15:03
plarsogra_: couple of minor but annoying oddities that I'm curious if they're specific to something I have, or if you see them too15:04
plarsogra_: 1. on desktop image, when I first boot, sometimes the keyboard doesn't work unless I disconnect/reconnect15:04
plarsreconnect the keyboard thatis15:05
ogra_hmm, havent had that here ... sounds like a race in udev15:05
ogra_everything being on USB surely causes some high traffic15:05
plarsnot sure if it's specific to this keyboard, I don't have another I can easily use at the moment but if it's something others are seeing, then maybe it's not just this keyboar15:05
ogra_(disc, NIC, input devices)15:06
plarsyeah15:06
ogra_i havent heard from others about this yet15:06
ogra_file a bug though, i think its bugworthy15:06
plarsogra_: suggestions on where it would go though? udev?15:06
ogra_or kernel15:07
plarsok15:07
ogra_start with udev though15:07
plarssounds good15:07
plars2. audio15:07
ogra_ppisati is busy enough :)15:07
plarsI get popping noises sometimes on jack audio, but not over hdmi15:07
ogra_hedphones should work OOTB15:07
plarsogra_: right, that's the default15:08
ogra_ah, hdmi works (i have no monitor with speakers)15:08
plarsI do :)15:08
ogra_great15:08
plarsit doesn't work automatically, you have to switch it by hand15:08
ogra_well, popping means that the amp isnt murted during power up/down15:08
ogra_yeah, it would work if we had pulseaudio profiles15:08
ogra_iirc we have support for them but nobody added any15:09
plarsok, so that's pulseaudio related you think?15:09
ogra_no15:09
ogra_the popping is the driver15:09
ogra_no auto switching to hdmi is pulse15:09
plarsok15:10
ogra_might probably make a good wishlist bug15:10
plarsyeah15:12
plarsogra_: those were the main things at the moment, I saw that the usb keyboard issue on server installs was fixed, so I'll retry that today too and actually try to do the server on the console rather than over serial15:13
plarsthanks ogra_15:13
ogra_plars, i'm not sure ppisati fixed it on panda, i know he looked into begale for the kbd stuff15:14
plarsogra_: ok, all the more reason to check it today :)15:15
ogra_:)15:16
ppisatithe usb problem was just panda related15:18
ogra_ah15:18
ppisatiATM omap3 is really screwed (at least on my hw)15:18
ogra_i thought you looked into beagle15:18
ppisatii'm looking into beagle now15:18
ogra_ppisati, well, its unsupported anyway15:18
ppisatiogra_: beagle?15:18
ogra_yes15:18
ppisatiah15:19
ogra_we only carry it through because its "for free"15:19
ppisatiupstream + one patch and usb is quite ok15:19
ogra_fixing bugs there is best effort15:19
ppisatiwith our kernel, for some obscrure config screw, the usb hub is ENTIRELY dead15:19
ogra_but not mandatory15:19
ogra_wow15:19
ppisatii;ve been bisecting the hell out of my BEEP for the last 3 days15:20
ppisatistill didn't found what's so different from our kernel and upstream15:20
plarsogra_, ppisati: just hit a problem with pvr-omap when running dist-upgrade after installing todays -desktop image15:47
ogra_tell me15:47
plarswaiting on the update to finish15:51
ppisatiplars: i'm not pvr-omap maintainer15:56
ogra_and rsalveti is traveling15:56
ogra_(and busy in other projects)15:56
plarsppisati: it was the kernel update that was happening when I hit the dkms issue15:57
ogra_oh, dkms15:57
plarsrun-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 3.5.0-17-omap /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-17-omap15:57
plarsError! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.5.0-17-omap (armv7l)15:58
ogra_hmpf15:58
ogra_plars, i think there should be a dkms build log somewhere15:59
plarsogra_: yes, looking at it now15:59
plarslooks like it was missing omap_priv.h?16:00
plarsAlso there's an error...16:00
ogra_so kernel header issue ....16:00
plars#error "A preemptible Linux kernel is required when using workqueues"16:00
ogra_hmm, priv was gone i thought16:00
ogra_our kernel is preemt, no ?16:00
ogra_*preempt16:01
plarsyes, it would seem to be16:01
ogra_weird16:01
ogra_dkms is such black magic16:01
plarsjust checked that CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in config16:01
plarssnap, I forgot to sacrifice the chicken and pour the blood on my laptop before compiling16:02
plars:)16:02
ogra_heh16:02
GrueMasterSigh, plars, how many times must I show you how to incite the satanic rituals of dkms installs?  :P16:04
GrueMasteriirc, the chicken is used to dust off the monitor (wax on, wax off), while dancing to Gangnam Style.16:07
ogra_nekkid16:07
GrueMasterWith two strips of bacon on each shoulder.16:08

lilstevielol16:08
rsalvetiplars: can you paste the logs?16:11
rsalvetiI know there might be an issue when installing the headers package16:11
plarsrsalveti: yes, working on it, but desktop on panda is crazy-slow16:11
rsalvetiwhich can accidentally pull the omap 3 headers as well16:11
plarsmy browser finally came up16:11
plarsbut my mouse isn't showing up at the moment...16:12
rsalvetioh16:12
rsalvetithat's weird16:12
rsalvetiplars: the headers/links are kind of messy at this point16:12
rsalvetifor the dkms packages16:12
plarsyeah, I don't think it should be this bad16:13
plarsthere's a fair chance it's hung, but I'll give it a minute. ctrl-alt-f1 isn't getting me to a console16:13
ogra_rsalveti, not only for dkms16:13
ogra_kernel headers in arm are a massive mess in general16:14
ogra_dues to no subarch support in dpkg and friends16:14
rsalvetiexactly16:27
rsalvetiafaik infinity is working on that16:27
plarsfinally16:32

ogra_you need faster usb keys16:32
plarsogra_, rsalveti ^16:32
* ogra_ really doesnt get that preempt stuff16:33
plarsogra_: yeah, I do.  It's such a gamble buying these things though.  I bought 2 of these pny sticks that I'm using now because 2 other people I talked to said they worked great.  They are barely usable for arm rootfs, and they are useless for other installs from usb because they can't be booted from16:34
ogra_supertalen ones are pretty great16:34
ogra_but also pretty expensive16:34
ogra_ther have a real SSD attached in the backend16:34
ogra_*supertalent16:34
ogra_"for kernel 3.5.0-17-omap"16:35
ogra_yeah16:36
ogra_plars, ^^^ from your log16:36
plarsogra_: yes, but the one I'm on is 3.5.0-212-omap4 after the update16:37
ogra_omap vs omap416:37
ogra_it uses the totally wrong headers16:37
plarsogra_: so this is related to the kernel header mess you previously mentioned16:39
ogra_yes16:39
rsalveti/usr/src/linux-headers-3.5.0-17-omap :-)16:39
rsalvetiyeah16:39
ogra_these shouldnt be installed16:39
rsalvetiplars: just remove the omap3 headers package16:39
plarsrsalveti: how did those get introduced though? The install I started from was today's omap4 image16:40
rsalvetiguess they might be installed as a dependency from dkms16:40
rsalvetithe headers-generic or such16:40
ogra_either that or there is some seed mess16:40
* ogra_ takes a look 16:40
ogra_could be that they are seeded for build-essential16:40

plarsah16:45
rsalvetiplars: so while annoying, it should not break anything at your side16:51
plarsrsalveti: yeah, gotcha16:51
plarsogra_, rsalveti: either of you been insane enough to try launching libreoffice on panda recently? seems to be crashing on startup for me17:35
infinitywookey: I might have to postpone that glibc talk with you until next week, my day's getting busier than expected.17:45
rsalvetiinfinity: wookey is gone already anyway18:08
infinityrsalveti: I figured, since he said he had plans this evening. :)18:08
rsalvetiinfinity: :-)18:11
ogra_plars, argh, no i havent18:15
GrueMasterplars: That is usually done by QA.  Oh, wait....18:16
plarsogra_: trying to see if I can get someone to reproduce it. I tried all of the lo apps and they all crash on startup for me18:16
ogra_infinity, not sure if you saw that in yur backlog: i'm just uploading tegra and tegra3 drivers with the broken libs, please have a look (i added a changelog note about the libs and documented a manual workaround in the bug)18:16
infinityogra_: Fun. :/18:17
ogra_infinity, its identical to tegra2, just different binaries and versions18:17
infinityogra_: Do you have a firm promise from srwarren to get it fixed so you can SRU?18:17
ogra_i have a promise from the actual dev :) but no ETA18:17

ogra_plars, if its reproducable i guess we should unseed libO again18:22
