ogra_damn, i dont have one08:53

ppisati:)08:53
* XorA opens the gates to the religious mailbox format war08:54
ppisatijsalisbury tested Q/omap4 beta and he said the installer doe4sn't show up immediately, he needs to switch tty and back to get the screen08:54
ppisatiogra_: ^08:55
ogra_hmpf08:57
ogra_yeah, i see the mail08:57
ogra_i would suspect plymouth08:57
ppisatiactually since we switched to a live installer we are already running unity dyring the install, right? so the pvr driver, right?09:01
ppisati*during09:01
ogra_we arent runing unity (ubiquity uses metacity and a simple gtk panel) but yeah. the pvr driver09:04
ogra_do we have a bug open for this ?09:04
ppisatino, because he just discovered it09:05
ppisatii can try daily image and fill a bug if you are too busy09:05
ogra_i heard something similar before and was alredy pondering to shipĆ¼ an xorg.conf that forces fbdev during the installation09:05
ppisatishall i fill it against... plymouth? pvr?09:06
ppisatii'll try this one: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img09:06
ogra_pvr i guess09:14
ppisatiogra_: i've a blue screen09:29
ppisatiogra_: not smurf, really electric blue :)09:29
ppisatiand indeed switching fixes it09:30
* ppisati wonders if we have the same problem after the installation...09:30
ppisatiok, ubiquity exploded in my face so i couldn't finish the installation09:32
LetoThe2ndoO( *kaboom* )09:32
xnoxppisati: did you connect an external usb hard drive or the usb stick as installation target?09:33
xnoxppisati: which instructions did you use?09:33
ppisatixnox: installing on the sd card actually09:33
xnoxppisati: that won't work with 12.10 ;-)09:33
ppisatixnox: it did in the past iirc09:34
xnoxppisati: unless you pre-partitioned it.09:34
xnoxogra_: we need to update installation instructions on the wiki.09:35
xnoxogra_: as all the desktop install instructions talk about preinstalled tarballs, instead of live installer =/09:35
ogra_xnox, on my list :)09:48
xnoxogra_: on your list, yet it's me who gets the bugs assigned =)))))09:50
ogra_i'll try to get to it today09:50

ogra_infinity, hrm, the tegra driver ftbfs in dh_slibdeps now ... would you let the package in if i just completely override that step ?10:50
ogra_its not like it ever has done anything useful anyway10:51
ogra_(apart from moaning about the plugin libs)10:51
infinityogra_: Or, you could tell it where to look for its libraries...10:58
ogra_well, it doesnt fail in a local precise build10:59
ogra_override_dh_shlibdeps:11:00
ogra_        dh_shlibdeps -l${PWD}/debian/nvidia-tegra/usr/lib/nvidia-tegra11:00
ogra_something like that ?11:00
infinityIndeed.11:00
infinityShould shut up all the warnings, and the two errors.11:00
infinityOr three, or however many there were.11:00
* ogra_ tries11:01
infinityNo need for the ${PWD}/ bit, though, you should always be relative to the package build dir.11:01
infinity-ldebian/foo/bar is enough.11:01
ogra_well, still warnings about the missing SONAMEs11:02
ogra_in the plugin libs11:02
infinityHold on, let me look at this for a sec.11:03
infinityGah, why is that in universe?11:04
infinityogra_: Will your world explode if I move it where it belongs?11:04
ogra_not at all11:05
ogra_dunno why it landed there11:05
ogra_it used to be in restricted11:05
infinityIt's in universe in precise too, so I guess someone just messed up way back when. :/11:05
infinityOh well, moving it in Q.11:05
infinityTo multiverse, not restricted.11:06
ogra_k11:06
ogra_i wonder if dh_shlibdeps got more strict in quantal11:07
ogra_i cant reproduce the error at all in precise11:07
* infinity downloads some build-deps.11:09
infinitydpkg-shlibdeps may have gotten stricter, I wouldn't consider that a bad thing.11:09
ogra_i didnt say its bad :)11:10
infinityRight, -l/usr/lib/nvidia-tegra does the trick (no need for the leading debian/pkg at all)11:16
ogra_ah, k11:16
* ogra_ adds that then 11:16
infinityAnd the mess of warning about the missing SONAMEs seems like a nice reminder that it's broken. :P11:16
* infinity tests with the override in debian/rules11:18
infinityYup, perfect.11:18
ogra_k11:19
infinityAs "useless" as it may seem, it's nice that it'll yell at you if you don't have the right build-deps (and thus don't get the right dependencies), so taking it out feels wrong.11:19
infinityAnd this DTRT.11:19
ogra_yeah11:19
ogra_and there is hope they fix it eventually :)11:19

ogra_meh, i should teach my finger memory to not always use -sa for dpkg-buildpackage11:24
infinityI always forget it when I need it.11:24
infinityWhich is rarely.11:24
ogra_well, you need it for all native packages11:25
ogra_we used to have a lot of them when i started :)11:25
infinityogra_: Eh?  No native package needs -sa11:42
infinityogra_: You only need -sa on a new upstream version of a NON-native package (ie: with an orig) that dpkg doesn't auto-detect as a new upstream (so version doesn't have -0 or -1 on the end).11:43
infinityogra_: So, commonly in Ubuntu when doing merges from, say, 1.2.3-4ubuntu1 to 1.2.4-2ubuntu1 instead of 1.2.4-0ubuntu111:44
ogra_yeah, i thought it was also used to attach the native tarball ... seems i was wrong :P11:47
ogra_but that would be nonsense thinking about it :P11:47
xranbyinfinity: ogra_:  i would consider it a bug dch -i to not detect and use a  0ubuntu1 name when appropriate11:48
ogra_well, it never detects if i work on a native package11:49
infinityxranby: Hrm?  This isn't about dch.11:49
ogra_but always attaches -XubuntuX11:49
infinityxranby: I was talking about merging and intentionally versioning in a way that won't be -0 or -1 (which is common when merging to, say, Debian's 1.2.3-4)11:50
xranbyinfinity: ok i get it11:50
infinityogra_: Really?  I thought dch was smart enough these days to version natively.11:50
ogra_doesnt for me11:50
infinityogra_: If not, THAT is a bug for sure.11:50
xranbyinfinity: dch -i always increast the unmber, it never resets the number when the major version differs11:50
ogra_well, i might have some old dotfile somewhere with weird settings tr so11:51
ogra_*or11:51
infinityIt sure works for me.11:51
infinityI just did a dch -i on apt (0.9.7.5) and got (0.9.7.5ubuntu1)11:51
infinityWhich is right.11:52
infinityxranby: I'm a bit confused as to what you're on about. ;)11:53
infinityxranby: Up until just now, we were talking about dpkg-genchanges -sa, which has nothing to do with dch's versioning.11:53
xranbywe are surely talking about different things,, yesterday i did a dch -i on avian_0.6+20121011   and got 0.6+20121011-0ubuntu2      instead of 0.6+20121011-0ubuntu1  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xranby/ubuntu/quantal/avian/avian_0.6+20121011/revision/4#debian/changelog11:53
xranbywhen switching from 0.6+20120911 to 0.6+2012101111:54
infinityThat was driver error.11:55
infinityYou did a uupdate or something first, then a dch -i11:55
infinityThe first thing got the version right, then dch -i did what you asked (increased the version number).11:55
xranbyno update11:55
infinityThen how did you update from 0.6+20120911 to 0.6+20121011?11:55
infinitydch doesn't autodetect upstream versions.11:55
xranbyinfinity: i got the new name 0.6+20121011  when i did a bzr branch avian.dev avian_0.6+2012101111:56
xranbyand dch -i picked up that11:56
xranbybased on the branch nam11:56
xranbye11:56
infinityStill sounds like something, somewhere, filled in a skeleton changelog entry first, and dch -i then increased it.11:58
infinity(I just did this to myself yesterday..)11:58
xranbyhmm i have to double check next time i update12:01
xranbyyou might be right it might be one of those things you do without reflecting about it12:02
xranbyI do12:02

ogra_err, yeah12:05

nOStahlthe page has not changed on ubuntu.com for a long time since I first seen it18:45

GrueMasterGiven that unity-2D is dead, probably not much.  Not sure how well Unity runs on an Android system.20:03
nOStahlthe site says it boots up full ubuntu20:04
GrueMasterWell, iirc it is more like an ubuntu chroot running on an android system.  That way, the two can communicate with each other.20:05

st3fani got Ubuntu 12.04 running on a Pandaboard \o/20:30
st3fando i need special drivers now? or is it all included?20:31
st3fanalso, is there a correct way to upgrade to 12.10?20:31
ndecprpplague: for uboot/spl patches please talk with sebjan too.20:58
ndecand send them upstream too ;-)20:58
prpplaguendec: yea, already working on the upstream, i am more concerned about people trying to use older ubuntu releases for pandaboard and it not working20:59
ndecfor older release... it will be a problem since the bootloader is in the released image.20:59
ndecand new images aren't created after they are released...21:00
ndecso, if old uboot reallly doesn't boot on new board, 12.04 image will not boot.21:00
ndecand 12.10 either.21:00
ndecwell, 12.10 there is a slight window to get that done before the release, though...21:01
prpplaguendec: yea, there was some update procedure that was documented for the pandaboard-es to update the bootloader , so i figured there would be something we could document21:01
prpplaguendec: yea totally different mem config, it won;t boot without the change21:01
ndecyep, we did that a couple of times indeed.21:01
ndecit's basically -> prepare SD, and copy the magic MLO on SD.21:01
ndecprpplague: what's this change about? and why?21:02
prpplaguendec: the memory that is currently used on the pandaboard and pandaboard-es is EOL'd as of the end of this month21:03
prpplaguendec: we have enough stock to last till mid feb21:03
ndecbummer.21:03
prpplaguendec: the only available configuration as a replacement is a totally different die/bank configuration21:03
ndecyou can detect the config at runtime, right?21:04
ndecso that same MLO works on new and old, right?21:04
prpplaguendec: yes we can detect if it is a new board or old board, however the MLO(SPL) needs to be updated with the new EMIF/LISA configurations21:08
prpplaguendec: i thought you were gone for something called "weekend", hehe21:08
GrueMasterThat sounds like a simple patch to a lookup table, and maybe some init code.  Should be fairly straight-forward.  YOu could always file a bug against MLO and file a patch with it.21:11
ndecprpplague: i should be gone indeed...21:12
prpplagueGrueMaster: yea code wise it is trivial21:12
prpplagueGrueMaster: my concern is the coming support issue, "i just got my pandaboard and it doesn't boot ubuntu 12.04"21:13
GrueMasterSince 12.04 is LTS, this fix should be able to be backported.  Not sure what the release schedule is for 12.04.2, but it will have to wait until then to show up in an image.21:14
ndecGrueMaster: that said, images weren't rebuilt for 12.04.01 for panda...21:16
* ndec really starts weekend now ;-)21:17
GrueMasterThey weren't?  sigh.  Slackers.21:18
xnoxGrueMaster: ndec: the images were build, they failed testing hence could not be released.23:03
xnoxno sign-off, no point release image.23:03
xnoximage, per-image.23:03
xnoxbut boy 12.10 is so much better on Pandaboards =)23:04
st3fanxnox: how do i test 12.10 now? (i see no images)23:07
xnoxst3fan: they are on cdimage23:07
xnoxst3fan: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/23:08
xnoxnote you need USB storage to finish the install.23:08
GrueMasterFailed testing?23:08
st3fanxnox: ah yes i think i did try that .. i was unable to install it on SD card and was not sure how to fix that23:09
st3fani'm currently using the preinstalled 12.04, which works great23:09
xnoxit's slow on the IO though.23:09
xnoxno more preinstalled images.23:10
st3fanyeah i notice that23:10
xnoxhence you install from sd card onto usb stick or usb HDD23:10
xnoxwith quantal onwards.23:10
xnoxyou can "do preinstall"23:10
st3fanaha23:10
st3fani was thinking of buying a small SSD and USB/SATA adapter23:11
xnoxbasically after creating sd card, create a new partition at the end.23:11
* xnox uses 32 GB tiny pen drive ;-)23:11
st3fanis that faster than SD?23:11
xnoxyeah.23:11
GrueMasterHmm.  Doesn't look like 12.04.1 was even generated, according to http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com23:11
* xnox has fast usb stick though ;-)23:11
st3fanhow does a pandaboard boot from usb though? it needs help from a bootloader on SD right?23:12
GrueMasterst3fan: Bootloader stays on SD.23:12
xnoxst3fan: so the sd card you used for the install .... becomes boot floppy as panda only boots from there.23:12
st3fanthis sounds good :)23:13
xnoxso you need both to install & both to continue running panda.23:13
GrueMasterWell, you could also drop a bootloader through the mini-usb from a host.23:13
GrueMasterIt actually looks there first, SD second.23:13
st3fando i need to configure the bootloader manually or will that happen as part of the installation?23:14
GrueMasterIt will (should) just work.23:15
st3fanthese are great hints. i'm going to try this after dinner with 12.10b223:15
GrueMasterIf not, file a bug.  If it doesn't install proeprly, it shouldn't be shipped.23:15
st3fanor daily?23:15
xnoxst3fan: don't try b2, use daily. The current daily is frozen and is the testing candidate for quantal final.23:16
st3fanyay23:16
xnoxst3fan: plus you will help testing quantal final =)23:16
st3fanok23:16
st3fani will bbl23:16
infinityxnox: You're misinformed.  12.04.1 ARM images weren't built at all, as we only build point-release images for LTS products, and only the netboot images are LTS for ARM.23:22
infinityxnox: Not that it would matter, the 12.04 images would work just fine, and one could apt-get upgrade.23:22
xnoxinfinity: ok. sorry.23:23
infinityxnox: Oh, I read more backscroll, I see.  So, the 12.04 images will stop working at some point. :P  But we can still build new d-i (and will), so that's the direction to point people in.23:23
xnoxthanks.23:23
infinityxnox: And d-i is the direction I point people in anyway, since it's the only way to install directly to USB in precise.23:24
xnoxi point people to quantal =)23:25
infinitySome people (like, I dunno, our buildds) have a legitimate use-case for wanting an LTS. :)23:26
xnoxinfinity: for whatever reason people are expecting a much higher volume of SRUs for precise.....23:26
infinityI don't mind the attempt to perfect LTSes, personally.23:27
infinityMaybe because I run them. :P23:28
GrueMasterinfinity: I think the reason this came up was due to the expected change to the pandaboard memory, wich will need a new MLO.  If the images aren't respun, then they will fail.  Easy enough to download an updated MLO and drop it in place.23:29
infinityGrueMaster: Yeah, I caught that and commented on it.23:29
infinityGrueMaster: We still won't respin the preinstalled images, but debian-installer will get bumped for new netboot love.23:30
infinity(And, as you say, it's not rocket science to do surgery by hand on the preinstalled ones, if someone really prefers those)23:30
GrueMasterI'm...not going to comment.23:30
infinityGrueMaster: (If the whole new MLO thing happens, I could probably be talked into building a Panda/preinstalled image for 12.04.2 if someone communityish wanted to QA it)23:35
infinityGrueMaster: You could totally get them to send you a new-new-new Panda just for this, and expand your dusty collection. :)23:35
GrueMasterWhen is 12.04.2?23:36
GrueMasterAnd considering I had to personally buy the last 4 pandas I got, I doubt I will be motivated to do this.23:37
GrueMaster(note, I could have expensed them, but then I would have 0 dusty pandas and absolutely no reason to be here).23:37
