EtherninHey guys00:24
Ethernintrying to recompile the Ubuntu-nexus7 kernel with MAC80211 and CFG80211 set to "M"00:24
Etherningetting 'undefined reference to' for like every function of CFG8021100:25
Etherninie:  /root/ubuntu-nexus7/drivers/net/wireless/bcmdhd/wl_cfg80211.c:6016: undefined reference to `cfg80211_scan_done'00:25
Etherninany thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated00:25
Etherninthanks00:25
Awk9000Hey guys, so I'm trying to recompile the kernel for ubuntu 12.10 for the Nexus701:19
Awk9000changed the kernel config file so MAC80211 and CFG80211 are set to 'm'01:19
Awk9000and when I go to recompile I run into 'undefined reference to' errors for every function of CFG8021101:19
Awk9000any ideas or suggestions in the right direction would be greatly appreciated01:20
Awk9000thanks!01:20
lilstevieAwk9000, you will also need to set BCMDHD to "m"01:26

Awk9000awesome!01:26
Awk9000thank you!01:26
Awk9000im cross compiling, do u think that has something to do with it?01:28
=== zz_chihchun is now known as chihchun
lilstevieno, it has everything to do with the bcmdhd driver requiring those symbols01:44
TheMusoI would have thought that the kernel config system would recognise this somehow and make that change...01:46
TheMusoTalk about possibly shooting yourself in the foot.01:46
TheMusoBut then I guess its mostly distro folks who deal with kernel configs these days anyway.01:46
TheMusoOr people who know what they're about.01:46
infinityKernels config deps are indeed supposed to prevent you from building something in if its deps are built as modules, but bugs happen.01:48
Awk9000OK - so can i ask a dumb question?01:55
Awk9000im following this guide on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Kernel01:55
Awk9000and tried the cross compiling on ubuntu 12.0401:55
Awk9000using debuild01:56
Awk9000it creates .udeb packages01:56
Awk9000so can I just install those on the Nexus7 ubuntu image directly without modding the kernel on the device itself?01:56
Awk9000I've always just compiled on the device itself, like the N900 for instance01:56
Awk9000so the cross compiling is kinda confusing to me...01:57
Awk9000but lilstevie i will try what u said and see what happens01:57
Awk9000thanks man01:57
Awk9000Hey everyone...not to shake up a barrel of monkeys, but anyone know if packet injection / monitor mode works on the internal wireless card????02:03
Awk9000;-D02:03
Awk9000haven't googled the exact card yet, know its a broadcom which gives me some hope knowing about the injection developments lately for broadcom chipsets....02:04
Awk9000holy F#@! lilstevie YOU ARE THE F'ING MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!02:23
Awk9000MUWHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA02:23
Awk9000THE MOLECULAR AMPLIFICATION CHIP WORKS!!!!02:23
Awk9000ALL HAIL LORD AND RULER KRANG OF DIMENSION X!!!!!!!02:24
Awk9000oh wait...02:24
Awk9000shit...02:24
Awk9000may have spoke too soon.....02:24
Awk9000getting warnings...02:24
Awk9000come on....baby.....WORK02:24
infinityAwk9000: The .udeb packages are for debian-installer, it's the .deb packages you should be interested in.  Namely linux-image-$(abi)-$(flavour)_$(version).deb02:29
infinityAwk9000: And yeah, just installing that with 'dpkg -i foo.deb' should do the trick.02:29
Awk9000awesome ya, im familiar with 'dkpg -i foo.deb', so .udeb is for the gui installer in ubuntu or debian in general?02:44
Awk9000udeb = ubuntu deb?02:44
Awk9000thanks for the response infinity!02:45
Awk9000so basically I'm trying to install the compat-wireless drivers on Ubuntu 12.10 for the Nexus 702:47
Awk9000which is why I'm mucking with the kernel config to begin with02:47
Awk9000anyone had any luck with that yet?02:47
infinityAwk9000: udeb = micro deb, special stripped down debs for the installer.02:48
Awk9000awesome thank you sir!02:48

dholbachgood morning08:00
ogra_xnox, i would love to put all of these wikipages to death, i was actually waiting with deleting them because  there was supposed to be a live-build howto from linaro one day for making a rootfs ... as a replacement to point to (ubuntu-core isnt really an alternative at all to what the tools from the wiki do)09:21
ogra_that howto still doesnt exist though09:21
xnoxogra_: so arm debootstrap is still not what one wants?09:23
ogra_no09:23
ogra_look at rootstock, it did the complete configuration on top09:23
ogra_for a plain development chroot or for running a vm ubuntu-core is great, for using it as a rootfs as non experienced linux user it isnt09:24
xnoxi see.09:25
xnoxthe real bug report was that it was not easy to find $ mk-sbuild --arch armhf09:25
ogra_the purpose of the tools was a completely preconfigured rootfs, completely independend from the HW09:25
xnoxand that rootstock has higher google ranking09:26
xnoxso somewhere "compiling ubuntu packages for armhf" should be documented better.09:26
ogra_(admittedly rootstock is full of hacks i woul implement it completely different today ... (live-build in LXC using proper preseeding to do the config)09:26
ogra_well, that documentation should be somewhere in the general "compiling stuff" wiki section i think09:27
ogra_or "building packages"09:28
infinityogra_: live-build can be fed starter tarballs, the right answer is probably a quick 3-line howto that says "call live-build this way and feed it ubuntu-core.tar.gz as the starter".09:28
infinityOr, rather, s/live-build/linaro-media-create/ perhaps.  My brain's a bit fried.09:29
infinityOr potentially either could do what rootstock does.09:29
infinityMeh.09:29
ogra_right09:29
infinityAnything but rootstock.  Down with rootstock.  Rawr!09:29
infinityI should nap.09:29
ogra_well, vanhoof keeps it alive09:29
infinityI'm obviously losing it.09:29
infinityI was about to type "vanhoof: stop that", but he's not in the channel.09:30
* xnox ponders if I should troll on /j #linaro /msg #linaro I am using rootstock and it fails to create a rootfs for me. Please help!09:30
ogra_hehe09:30

lardmanDecided on a Nexus 7 (with data) despite the quoted "1-2 week until shipping", and it looks like it should arrive today (i.e. a day later)11:24
lardmanthat's quite impressive11:24
lardmanimo11:24
RaYmAnor alternative, very unimpressive. Their webshop doesn't seem to have much to do with reality :P11:25
lilstevie:p11:25
Bundzihi, is there a way to force a custom edid value for a pandaboard running ubuntu12:21
Bundzii have a screen problem at max resolutions it flickers and is blurry12:21
ogra_i dont think there is, wait for robclark to get up :)12:23

me500unity still functions but with glitched graphics, how do I reset on nexus 7?13:34
ogra_you cant, its a bug in the widget library unity uses13:35
me500damn13:35
ogra_we're waiting for a fix in 13.04 ...13:35
me500so no apt-get --reinstall fix?13:36
ogra_12.10 has the fix in the preinstalled image but not in the archive (which is why you should never upgrade that image as scattered everywhere across the docs)13:36
me500lol woops13:37
me500only followed the install guide ;p13:38
ogra_me500, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/FAQ#Why_are_-updates_and_-proposed_disabled.3F ;)13:39
ogra_dholbach, when was the nexus FAQ switched to askubuntu ?13:39
ogra_the five questions there give quite a poor impression compared to the wiki FAQ13:39
me500i can reinstall with the tool though right?13:41
ogra_sure13:41
me500goooood13:42
ogra_(you could surely try to fix it and probably even succeed, but i guess a reinstall would only eat 10% of the time ;) )13:42

robclarkBundzi, there was some mechanism added to load an edid value from a firmware file specified in a bootarg..  don't remember quite off the top of my head which kernel version that landed in, but I guess you should be able to find it with a bit of google searching..13:57

ogra-cb"Its Split design offers a SO-DIMM form factor SOM [....] , Education Connector, JTAG & a 2nd Display port."14:40
ogra-cbwhat the hell is an "Education Connector" ?14:40
Tassadarwow :D14:46
Tassadargpio pins maybe..?14:46
Tassadarnah, they are listed separately14:46
brendandogra-cb, http://mydragonboard.org/apq8060a/ refers to it as GPIO/Education connector - so Tassadar was right14:55

ogra_geez, just 100% ? make them give you 200 !16:43
ogra_:)16:44
ogra_xnox, hmm, intresting, the recent image has the new ubiquity but also metacity-common and libmetacity-private0a ... not metacity itself though16:49
xnoxlol. interesting. I will investigate madison.16:50
xnoxogra_: do you have java-gnome installed?16:50
ogra_nope, no java at all16:51
ogra_gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-3.0 and libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-0 are the only matches for java in the manifest16:51
ogra_hmm, i wonder why every build seems to grow in size16:51
ogra_todays build is 4M bigger16:52
dholbachogra: once we have the raring image and the nux fix - will we tell people to upgrade or reflash?17:07
dholbachogra_, sorry - picked the wrong *ogra*17:07
ogra_heh17:08
ogra_all of they are highlighted in all my xchats, no worries :)17:08
ogra_*them17:08
ogra_(tsk)17:08
ogra_dholbach, both should work (theoretically)17:08
dholbachogra_, what will we recommend?17:09
ogra_i think we should recommend re-flashing so people get a personalized device17:09
dholbachok17:09
sfeoledholbach: i updated the wiki last night with manual instructions to flash raring, you probably noticed by now.17:10
sfeole:)17:10
dholbachah, so it has the nux fix already?17:10
sfeoledholbach: not yet17:10
sfeoledholbach: hopefully very soon17:10
dholbachgotcha17:11
ogra_you can pretty well play around with the raring image if you know your way around17:11
ogra_i.e. testing via ssh etc17:11
sfeoleyea or use a usb/keyboard and ctrl-alt-T to open a terminal window17:12
ogra_works in onboard as well :)17:12
=== jrgifford is now known as Guest21720
sfeolei might make a note on the wiki later today that the raring installer has a corrupt background and it's a known issue17:14
ogra_yeah, and that the slideshow is missing17:15
ogra_i dont really have the balls to put it back, we're so close to oversized17:15
sfeoleogra_: want me to file launchpad bugs as well?17:15
ogra_i think for the wallpaper there is a bug17:16
sfeoleahh ok17:16
* sfeole takes another look17:16
ogra_if you want to file one for the missing slideshow as a reminder, then assign it to me17:17
sfeoleack will do17:17
sfeoleogra_: your talking about the installer slideshow right?17:18
ogra_yep17:18
ogra_without it the actually process window gets very tiny ...17:18
ogra_and jumpy in size17:18
sfeolei think it will look just fine without it, once the background is fixed17:19
ogra-cbxnox, compiz/ubiquity works fine on the nexus17:42
ogra-cbi also get a proper black wallpaper instead of the corrupted crap i had before17:42
ogra-cbthat the windows are immovable feels very weird though17:43
xnox=)17:43
ogra-cb(and i had plymouth instead of staring at a "localhost.localdomain login:" prompt )17:45
ogra-cblots better17:45
* Laney looks forward to trying out the nexus7 images17:45
Laneyi'll wait for nux though ;-)17:46
ogra-cbgrmbl17:47
