vanhoofcool00:23
vanhoofi got through it no probs a few times00:24
vanhoofyou should be all set00:24
vanhoofachiang: screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200 ... once you're done00:25

vanhooflol00:27
achiangwhat's new and shiny for me to play with?00:27
vanhoofplymouth, usb-serial, an actual panel, oem-config? :)00:28
achiangah, the answer is "nothing" because i hit the button1 stuck issue00:28
achiangfeh00:28
vanhoofyou're landscape?00:29
achiangyeah00:29
* vanhoof must have small fingers00:29
vanhoofi dont hit that often :)00:29
vanhoofachiang: if you get bored play w/ sound00:30
vanhoofi had some troubling noises today playing radio w/ rb00:31
vanhoofnot sure if its my own breakage00:31
vanhoofachiang: but now you have dailys to flash ;)00:33
achiangfrom here on out, it's dist-upgrade every day, baby00:33
* sfeole reads scrollback02:14
sfeoleachiang, vanhoof , infinity : Yea guys, I went on a wiki updating rampage today. sort of sloppy but got the job done. Everything should be up there, updating instructions / new features / some bug updates etc...02:16
* sfeole goes back into his cave02:16
sfeolealso i fixed the 2nd heading for installed 13.04 on the nexus7, looks like my draft never saved.02:20

wookey_infinity: I see you fixed tcl crossing. What did you do about multiarching the tclconfig.sh path?10:37
infinitywookey_: I didn't touch tcl, just tk.10:38
wookey_Or did you just fix tcl bulding itself, not anything building against it?10:38
infinitywookey_: Though, tk builds against tcl, so maybe someone already fixed the thing you're talking about.10:38
gurgalofaww, I want to run 13.04 on the nexus, but I need Bluetooth...10:38
wookey_OK. That would be good if true - I've beenwondering what to do about it for months :-)10:39
wookey_I see you had a go at apr too - is there a bug for that? It was an abomination when we looked at it a couple of years back10:39
wookey_somebody tried to add cross-support but did it in a completely broken way10:39
infinitywookey_: I'm holding off on filing bugs (or committing directly) to apr/apr-util/apache2 until I'm happy with my "solutions" (and I use that term loosely).10:40
infinitywookey_: apr and apache2 work in Ubuntu now (apr-util needs some twiddling with libraries it links to), but neither is pretty, so I'll likely revisit.10:40
wookey_I have a really long mail for the apache people that we weren't allowed to send a couple of yrears back, asking what tey thought they were _trying_ to do10:40
wookey_so we could work out how to fix it properly10:41
infinityhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/124947530/apr_1.4.6-3_1.4.6-3ubuntu1.diff.gz10:41
infinity^-- The ugly is just a bunch of autoconf cache preseeding.10:41
infinityBut there's got to be a less hideous way.10:41
infinityAs for apache2 itself, it's all fixed upstream, I just had to backport patches.10:42
wookey_Ah cool10:42
infinity(And fix debian/rules to be less retarded)10:42
infinitySo, I'll probably commit the apache2 stuff to Debian (or file a bug and make sf do it), but the apr/apr-utils things need some thought, I think.10:43
infinityAnd, really, apache is useless without apr, so...10:43

TassadarYou mean n7?12:24
rasteryeah12:28
rasteri have gotten it to hiss at me12:28

marvin24nvidia just published tegra boot process description: ftp://download.nvidia.com/tegra-public-appnotes/tegra-boot-flow.html13:22
marvin24(for those who didn't got it yet)13:22
rasternv is getting better at this13:23
RaYmAnsadly, it's not much use on most 'real' devices (given they are locked mostly down), but it's a nice move either way13:24
rasternot much nv can do there13:26
rasterthats oems13:26
RaYmAnindeed13:26
* RaYmAn looks at google13:26
rasteri have a working nexus713:26
rasterminus sound13:26
rasteri cant divine how to make it peep13:26
RaYmAnraster: it's just a pity e.g. google makes the n7 unlockable and then locks down the bootloader still. :/13:28
rasterwell to some extent thats to avoid bricking13:28
rasteroems are paranoid about having hoards of users send in bricked devices under warranty13:29
RaYmAntegra is unbrickable if you have access to APX mode (e.g. tegrarcm)13:29
marvin24well, there is still the rom bootloader, which cannot be bricked by nature13:29
marvin24on the other hand, who cares if the locked bl can load an unlocked one?13:30
rasterif a user cant boot it to a state of a ui withotu some cruptic pc tools13:30
rasterthen its a brick13:30
rasterform an oem pov13:30
rasterfastboot is not an answer in their eyes13:30
marvin24write a simple tools then13:30
rasterit has to be unbrickable without tools13:30
rasterie withotu needint to plug it into a pc and "use tools"13:30
rastersame with plugging in special mucro-sd cards with rescue images etc.13:31
RaYmAnbut how is that different from now? users could easily perceive it as bricked even if they have fastboot.13:31
RaYmAnand that is possible now13:31
rasterdont they stil lock the bootloader down13:32
rasterbut the rest u can play with as u like13:32
lilstevieflash a non working kernel to both boot and recovery13:32
rasterso long as u use the bootloader to boot it13:32
rasterala the ubuntu nexus77 images13:32
RaYmAnlilstevie: isn't that fixed on n7?13:32
lilstevieand it will be in the state you just called a brick13:32
lilstevieRaYmAn, yeah, n7 also uses scratch rather than msc for bootloader messages13:32
RaYmAnhm13:33
lilstevieRaYmAn, but I am referring to "<raster> fastboot is not an answer in their eyes"13:33
RaYmAndid you test if that works on tf201?13:33
lilstevieRaYmAn, I did not13:33
lilstevieRaYmAn, it is in the shutdown kernel code13:33
rasterlilstevie: i work for an oem13:33
rasterif ti requires anything more than absolute basic knowledge to fix13:34
lilstevieraster, still doesn't change the fact, even unlocking a device will cause the definition you just called "brick"13:34
raster(press a reset button for example) it's undesired and everything is done to avoid it13:34
rasterproblem is a reset button is also aloiability in normal use13:34
rasterlilstevie: yes - its a risk google has pushed asus to do13:35
lilstevieraster, that asus also offer on their entire tegra 3 range13:35
rasterprbably so google can use the n7 itself for hacking as well as allow others to do custom android roms and otherwise spread android around in general13:35
RaYmAnraster: tbh, if oems wanted to get around that, it *should* be possible to hook up boot strap pins in such a way that it can boot a special (signed) image incl. bootloader from sdcard. Then a win app that writes the sdcard13:36
RaYmAnalso, they could just charge to fix bricks that could be fixed with e.g. nvflash if it was available13:37
rasterRaYmAn: you expect them to figure out all for a tiny percentage of their customerbase13:38
rasterwhen they can just continue with the old solution they have used for many years13:38
RaYmAnnah, I've lost faith in them bothering to do such stuff long ago13:41
rasterso have most13:41
raster:)13:41
RaYmAnthough, it would probably cut down on software repair costs =P13:41
RaYmAnanyways, your argument was that e.g. nvflash was too complex for normal users (I disagree) - there's plenty of ways they could make it simpler13:42
rasteru are free to sit in meetings with some taiwanese, korea, etc. ppl and make your argument13:43
raster:)13:43
RaYmAnI don't expect an invitation any time soon13:44
RaYmAn;)13:44
rasteri've been there, done that... many times over the years :)13:44
rasterand i get the bonus of the "listen to me" badge onmy chest13:45
rastereven then its insanely hard13:45
lilsteviealthough they may have to soon if the sony tool thing catches on13:45
rasterthe things that make themj move.. is if someone else moves13:45
rasterand if it means market share gain, profits or somethnig13:46
rasterthat gets attention13:46
RaYmAnyeah, that's a pretty decent way of doing it - nice and semi-userfriendly tool that installs drivers and reflashes devices. It would be fairly easy for e.g. asus or google to do something similar with a custom nvflash for n713:46
RaYmAnraster: incidentally, it's amusing they spend so many resources on locking down things. You'd think it would be less resources to just make it open :)13:51
gurgalof_mobili flashed raring using the tool in ubuntu,  but i only get a 8GB partition on my 32GB nexus713:51
rasterRaYmAn: the locking down has already been done and it was a product requirement from the product specs team to begin with13:53
rasteror something like that13:53
gurgalof_mobiland i have a black bar under the notification bar in raring13:55
RaYmAnraster: it's a choice e.g. google makes. Of course it has already been done, but it's still a choice they made13:57
RaYmAnand then you have stuff like the arm chromebook which is completely open/unlockable.13:57
rastera choice made by a product specs dept that doesnt knowq nor care about hackers/development13:58
rasteras they are not13:58
rasterthey expect the o9nly development happens inside this engineering dept they have13:58
rasterand nowhere else13:58
RaYmAnI somehow doubt google is that naive13:58
rasterpeople wanting to hack on their PRODUCTs is a bizarre foreign concept to them13:58
rasterraster: did i not mention oems above?13:58
rasternot google?13:58
raster:)13:58
RaYmAngoogle is essentially an oem too :)13:59

gurgalof_mobil:D14:06
gurgalof_mobilfeels like no one notices me, but ill ask again later...14:07
gurgalof_mobilhmm i didnt even write a question, well well14:07
ogra_gurgalof_mobil,  the current ikmmge only uses a 6G partition, we're working on getting it to work for bigger devices too, the broken panel shadow is known and reported as a bug already14:11
ogra_*image14:12
gurgalof_mobilokay,  thanks14:12
gurgalof_mobili'll revert to quantal for the moment then14:13
ogra_raster, do you use pulse in youir setup ? iirc fixing the sound was a combo of alsa UCM profiles and pulse profile changes14:14
rasteryup14:14
rasterpulse is there14:14
gurgalof_mobiloh and the slideshow in raring says 12.1014:14
infinitygurgalof_mobil: It usually does for the first few months.14:15
rasteri use it on all y setups14:15
rasterhell14:15
rastermy mier eeven detects pulse and is happy14:15
infinitygurgalof_mobil: It'll say 13.04 before release. :P14:15
ogra_raster, also note that the master is muted by default ... only suspend/resume isnt enough14:15
rasteryup14:15
rasteri checked14:15
raster:)14:15
gurgalof_mobil:P hopefully14:15
rasterpulse is unmuted14:15
rasterrhythmobx doest play14:15
ogra_hmmm, then i dont know14:15
rasteraplay doesnt play (bypassing pulse going right to alsa)14:16
ogra_it works flawless under unity for me14:16
rasterweird14:16
ogra_boot, suspend/resume, hit vol-up omce (easier than unmuting) always gets me sound14:16
rasteri didnt get to test audio until i had the rest settled14:16
infinityogra_: That's an odd definition of "flawless". ;)14:17
ogra_heh14:17
ogra_well, "as described" :)14:17
infinityThou shalt swing the mutilated chicken thrice above thine head, whilst chanting "ALSA, our lord, hear my prayers."14:18
ogra_*giggle*14:18
rasterogra_: yaaargh14:18
rasterany info as to.. what this magic pulse + alsa magic was?14:19
ogra_ask diwic during the week14:19
rasterok14:19
rastereither way14:19
rastersuspend/resume is all happy now14:19
ogra_he is our sound guru and added the fixes14:19
rasterit was wifi simply not being shut off before suspend14:19
ogra_ah14:19
rasteru have to rfkill it or it gens wake interrupts14:19
raster:)14:19
rastermy screen is all nicely portraited now14:20
ogra_yeah,, the pm-utils scripts care for that iirc14:20
ogra_portrait with working input ?14:20
rasteri tried the 6.1-7 xorg thing and it fixes some of the funkiness of the touch when in portrait14:20
rasteryeah14:20
ogra_oh, sweet14:20
gurgalof_mobilin quantal BT stays on while suspending as moving bt-mouse unsuspends it14:20
rastertho the pointer jumps around like its obsessed14:20
rasterinptu works tho14:20
ogra_you have a pointer ?14:21
ogra_unity/compiz hides it if there isnt an actual mouse14:21
ogra_(that hides such issues)14:21
rasteryeah14:21
rasteri haveth one14:22
rasteri can hide it if i want14:22
rasteri just like seeing it14:22
rasterits kind alike a nice debug thing14:22
raster:)14:22
rasteri'm down to 180m of mem usage14:22
ogra_heh, yeah14:22
rasterfor some reaosn my mystery missing ram... comes back after some time14:23
ogra_i think there are some oddities with the kernel14:23
rasterdefinitely14:23
rasterlike on boot - 420m ram gone14:23
rasteri compile a bunch of stuff14:23
rastersuspend/resume a few times14:23
ogra_it also shows some strange load values that i cant really confirm14:23
rasterrestart wm etc.14:23
rasterand it goes DOWN.. to about 150-20014:23
rasteroh yeah14:24
rasterand DONT use powertop14:24
gurgalof_mobilWAT14:24
rasterit somehow turns off the cores14:24
rasterand makes u have only 1 core14:24
ogra_file a bug !14:24
rastereverything nicely slows down to a crawl14:24
raster:)14:24
ogra_that should definitely be fixed14:24
rasteri'll kick arjan next i get the chance14:24
ogra_great14:24
raster:)14:25
rasterrightr now.. i dont know what it did14:25
lilstevieyou should confirm that is powertop that did it14:25
rasteri was compiling at the time14:25
rasterlilstevie: certain - i was runing htop at the time14:25
rasterand i rant it14:25
lilstevieI've come across that exact issue as a kernel bug on the tf20114:25
rasterand then immediately everything jumpt to a single core14:25
rasterit has never happend otherwise14:25
rasterso far anyway14:25
lilstevieraster, lather rinse repeat14:26
rasterbusy lathering a lot of other things14:26
raster:)14:26
lilstevieI've never been able to trace the exact moment before, but I have never run powertop14:27
rasterthey were too suspiciously timed together14:27
rasteri dont know if its pt's bug tho14:27
rasterit may simply innocently do something that happens to trigger the kernel bug14:27
rasterthese things happen :) i'm rather used to them14:28
lilsteviesomeone else should probably try the above on a n7, cause if it is the case, it is n7 specific and doesn't affect T3 in general14:33
* lilstevie just tested14:33
rasteri only have the n714:35
rasterso...  :)14:35
lilsteviewell then :p reproduce14:37
raster\would love to14:38
rasterbut i'm busy with.. other fun14:38
rasterlike nixing backlight artifacts14:38
