rigvedhi everyone.14:41
rigvedi was thinking of trying to rebuild the raring build to resize the image for my 32 GB tablet.14:41
rigvedtill now, i have found this: http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=28514:42
rigvedbut it says that the process has changed for 13.0414:42
rigvedcould anyone help me with the changed process?14:42
Tassadarwell, the process is more or less the same, but the 32gb image will not flash because it is too big14:43
Tassadardo you have some custom recovery installed on your n7? (if you don't know what that is, you don't have it)14:44
achiangogra_: hi14:44
ogra_achiang, any idea what we plan wrt the weekly n7 meetings ?14:45
ogra_i was asked by a few people now if we stopped working on n7 because there are no status infos anymore :)14:45
ogra_rigved, install android-fsutils, unpack the image with smig3img, loop mount it, copy the tarball to a temporary dir and use make_ext4fs with your preferred size to create a new rootfs image14:47
achiangogra_: we should do them again14:47
achiangogra_: i've just been maxed out lately14:47
ogra_*simg2img14:47
ogra_achiang, k, just wanted to know the plans, thx14:48
rigvedTassadar: no, i do not have any custom recovery installed (i do not know what that means ;) )14:50
Tassadarokay, then do what ogra says :)14:50
rigvedogra_: ok. i am following your instructions now.14:51
rigvedTassadar, ogra_: thanks. will revert back with status.14:51
jpastorehola, i have a beaglebone running ubuntu arm 12.04 and I'm getting an error trying to install or update packages via apt-get. followed some howto's on trying to resolve it to no avail15:57
ogra_can you pastebin the error ?15:58
jpastoresure 1 sec15:58
jpastoreogra_, http://pastebin.com/i3cypqxY16:00
ogra_sudo cp /var/backups/dpkg.status.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status16:03
ogra_and trz again16:03
ogra_*try16:03
ogra_also check dmesg for filesystem errors etc, that database doesnt break on its own usually16:04
jpastoreok16:05
jpastoreogra_, same fail16:06
ogra_hmm, did you take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/status ?16:07
ogra_its a text file16:07
jpastoreogra_, yea but it looks like a tab delimited file that i can't make sense of...16:16
jpastoreit look structured and ok...consistent...but i don't know what the values mean and their relevance16:16
ogra_it should just be package descriptions plus their status16:16
ogra_you can try moving the file out of the way for a test (and touch an empty one in place)16:17
jpastoreogra_, ok i think I tried this in a how to, but let me try again following your instructions...i can't talk to a howto =)16:18
ogra_heh16:18
jpastoreogra_, hmm...update ran with no error or updates...16:21
jpastoregoing to try and install some stuff...thanks for the help. i appreciate it. have a good day!16:22

plarsxnox, ogra_: back before the holidays, we were discussing how to preseed the install on nexus7. Any ideas on this? nothing I've tried so far has worked.17:15
xnoxplars: well on the kde active blog, they use adb to change kernel command line. I wonder if we can abuse that for preseeding nexus717:22
xnoxbut I still didn't check if end-user oem-config can at all be preseeded or not.17:22
plarsxnox: I've slept since then, but I think I tried setting a few options that way without any luck17:23
plarsxnox: then I tried copying the image to the device before starting the first boot, and I also tried inserting it in the initrd.  Neither worked for me so far but it's entirely possible that I'm just missing something17:24
plarsxnox: You had mentioned that you were going to check that, and I was wanting to get some confirmation that I wasn't trying something here that simply isn't possible17:24
xnoxah. that's what happened.17:25
xnoxOk. I have one more oem-config bug to check, I guess my next install will be oem-config.17:25
jodh`ogra_: is ureadahead on arm affected by bug 1085766?17:45
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1085766 in ureadahead (Ubuntu) "/var/log/upstart/ureadahead.log contains garbage" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/108576617:45
rigvedTassadar: ok. you are right. it seems that the 27G image is not being flashed. been waiting for too long.18:26
Tassadarwhat size is the image? like the .img file?18:29
rigvedi was reading up on the multi-boot method. it involves a custom recovery. why did you ask me about it earlier? will i be able to flash, say a 13G image on to it using that method?18:29
Tassadarwell, you can access the data partition from there, so you could just copy the root.tar.gz from USB drive to /data18:29
rigvedTassadar: 706M18:29
Tassadaryeah, that is a bit too much18:29
rigvedTassadar: ok18:36
Tassadaryou wanna try to install it using the recovery?18:37
rigvedi could try. has anyone tried it before?18:38
rigveddid it work?18:38
Tassadari would guess not, but well, it is just copying one file18:39
Tassadaryou don't even have to install the recovery, just boot it using "fastboot boot"18:39
jpastoreis it a problem to install php5 on a beaglebone?18:40
rigvedTassadar: ok. please correct me if i got this wrong. install the 8G version manually; before booting into ubuntu the first time, boot into fastboot boot; copy the new root.tar.gz over to the /data partition; then boot into ubuntu.18:42
Tassadarwell, you need to make the /data 27gb big, and you can't really do that without loosing data, so I would recomend flashing factory android image (that will also properly format /data to 27gb18:44
Tassadar)18:44
Tassadarthen wiping /data, and copying rootfs.tar.gz in there18:45
Tassadar(if your /data is not properly formated already, that is, I dunno what that failed fastboot did, maybe it did not do anything)18:46
rigvedTassadar: ok. i am trying that now.18:51
jpastoreso I'm trying to setup a webserver on a beaglebone. started by apt-get install php5, figured that would give me everything i needed or get me close. apt-get failed and recommended: apt-get -f install...which also failed. pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VxajDrkQ18:51
jpastoreany ideas on how to resolve?18:52
Tassadardid you do apt-get update?18:52
jpastorei did18:53
Tassadarit says "E: Cannot get debconf version. Is debconf installed?", did you notice that?18:53
jpastorechecking18:54
jpastoreaptitude search debconf shows pi next to it. i means installed correct? i'm used to the gui on my laptop18:55
TassadarI don't really know, but trying "apt-get install debconf" would surely do no harm18:56
jpastoreTassadar, installing debconf is failing via apt-get and aptitude...here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/6PQYpYTu18:59
Tassadarit kinda looks like there is something broken in there, it looks kinda weird that "apt-utils", "dpkg" and "coreutils" are not installed yet19:01
jpastorei think older versions are installed19:01
jpastoreand it's not updating19:01
jpastoremaybe I should backup the image and do a distribtion upgrade?19:02
Tassadarwait, your dpkg status file was broken, wasn't it?19:02
jpastoreI think so19:02
Tassadarhow did you fix it?19:02
jpastoreI'm trying: aptitude -f install dpkg19:02
jpastoreit's not19:03
=== Sv2 is now known as sv
jpastoreit's failing on libc6 support and multiarch-support19:04
TassadarI dunno, it to me it _looks_ like something is terribly messed up, if that status file is not correct, it _might_ be the cause19:05
jpastoreTassadar, I moved the status and touched a new one because i was getting errors saying the status file could not be parsed19:06
jpastoreI was then able to do an apt-get update19:06
jpastoreI then later tried to install php5...and now I'm stuck19:06
Tassadarcan you check what is in that status file? Like did it re-fill that file or is it just empty?19:07
jpastoreit repopulated19:09
jpastoreit's about 3600 bytes...whereas the backup one was over 400k19:09
Tassadarmaybe it can't be just repopulated like that19:11
jpastoremaybe...but I was going on a suggestion from ogra_. it seemed to allow the apt-get update to work but I'm not able to install basic stuf like tzdata19:13
jpastoreI wish there was a repair all problems option....19:13
Tassadartry to ls /var/backup, there might be another backup of dpkg.status19:13
jpastoreok... 1 sec19:14
jpastorethere's a dkph.status.0 that's 435k like the other status file I backed up19:15
jpastoreTassadar, I got these: /var/backups/dpkg.status.0  /var/backups/dpkg.status.1.gz  /var/backups/dpkg.status.2.gz19:16
Tassadarwell, try to use it, maybe that one is okay19:16
jpastoreok19:16
jpastorejust copy that file to /var/lib/dpkg/status and run apt-get update?19:17
jpastoreno it's unable to be parsed19:17
Tassadaryeah19:17
jpastoretrying to regen the file19:18
jpastorethis is like tryign to fix a looping cpan failure...19:18
Tassadaryeah, dpkg/status is rather fragile :/ why did it break anyway?19:29
Tassadarlike, isn't the sdcard corrupted or something?19:31
jpastoreTassadar, it's been broken. I got an image installer for the beagle bone ...no love. I was told not enough ram to handle updates but i find that hard to believe. after going through the steps to resolve I seem better off but not funcitoning and don't know what to do19:31
jpastorenot sure the sd card is corrupt...possible but unlikely. it's a spare 32g I had in a phone19:31
TassadarI don't really know anything about the beagleboard, somebody who does would probably be more helpful19:33
jpastoreappreciated.19:33
jpastorethanks for the effort. when I go over to #beagle* they give me crap for installing ubuntu instead of solving the problem. so I'm at a loss for where to go..19:34
Tassadar:D19:34
jpastoreTassadar, what about downloading these packages and manually installing them. like debconf and perl-base19:39
Tassadarwell, there is no harm in trying, but I am inclined to think that dpkg status file can't be even fixed19:42
jpastorehmmm...19:44
jpastoremaybe I should backup this image and try a fresh 12.10 image. I had problems with that too...but maybe the status fix that I did in 12.04 will make it work.19:44
Tassadaryeah, flashing fresh image would probably be the best19:45
jpastoreyea I think I'm going to try that later...19:49
jpastorethanks again19:49
camm`anyone here able to field a reloc question?19:51
TassadarJef91: you maintain BohdiLinux image for nexus 7, right?20:33
Jef91Yes Sir Tassadar20:34
EtherninHey Jef91 do u have a package list for the enlightenment stuff you installed?  I'd love to have this setup on top of ubuntu as the desktop environment and am wondering what else i need besides e1720:36
Tassadaryou realeased new one yesterday, will apt-get upgrade update my current installation? Or are these just images without proper repositories?20:36
Jef91Tassadar: most of my stuff is just manually setup at the moment20:37
Jef91Not in package form20:37
Jef91So, tl/dr you need to reflash20:37
Tassadarokay, thanks20:37
Jef91Ethernin: I have my own custom package set20:37
Jef91Ubuntu E17 packages are old and awkward20:38
EtherninJef91, word, is the list on your website at all?20:38
Jef91Ethernin: packages.bodhilinux.com has our repo list in html form20:38
Jef91Lots of stuff on there.20:39
Tassadarbtw, I was kinda surprised to see how fast e17 is on n7, both unity and plasma are struggling with 3D acceleration I guess :)20:41
Jef91ha20:41
Jef91Tassadar: e17 is fast on everything20:41
Jef91modern desktops need to learn from it20:41
Jef91and stop bloating their shit20:42
Etherninaweomse thanks Jef9120:42
Jef91Ethernin: keep in mind the ARMHF packages there are built for Debian Wheezy20:43
Jef91YMMV on other platforms20:43
