sim590Anyone here using the TF101 under ubuntu or any linux distro? I'm wondering if you get in/out errors with file system on the micro SD card04:42
infinitysim590: That's going to be an issue with the card, not the OS.04:48
sim590infinity: I know. I'm presently runnin Debian on my tf101 with the SD card (in the keyboard). I'm having input/output errors and I suspect the reason would be the use of the SDcard port in the keyboard.. the connection could be interrupted sometimes because of the lack of stability between the keyboard and the tablet04:55
sim590so, I wanted to verify this hypotesis by asking people if they're having problem with the micro SD card (not in the keyboard) so that would solve my problem if I would use the micro SD card instead04:56
infinitysim590: Oh, yeah, I've heard bad things about the keyboard SD slot.04:56
infinity(Second-hand, since I don't own a transformer, but you wouldn't be the first to complain about it)04:56
sim590ok. I guess I'll try the micro SD card and pray for no problems.04:57
sim590Thanks for your time to think about my problem!04:58
lilsteviesim590, only if you ever let the device sleep04:58
sim590lilstevie: ok.. I thought that I have experienced that kind of problem too with my configuration05:02
sim590may be I can program something to make it shutdown instead of sleeping each time it wants to sleep05:02
lilstevieor tell it not to sleep :p05:03
sim590yeah, but if it runs out of battery..05:03
sim590it's going to hibernation05:03
sim590and I guess that would be bad too05:03
lilstevieit won't hibernate05:03
lilstevieit will shutdown05:04
sim590oh yeah right I remember.. it happenned to me once.. It shuts down but not in a kind way if I remember05:05
sim590like if there was no protection configured so that it would just run out of batery and shutting down without writing to the filesystem and journal05:06
sim590so we gotta e2fsck afterwards05:06
sim590Ok, so I guess I'll buy a micro sd card tommorrow wishing that everything goes well then. Thanks everyone! I hope not to see you again for that matter but other projects may be! ;)05:09

nils_I have tried the nexus installer again. It works now ok in portrait mode. I only had to restart as the keyboard didn't work at the first go.08:21

phlippedHello12:01
phlippedI have a BeagleBoard-XM12:11
phlippedI've downloaded 12.04 Server image for OMAP3 - ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-server-armhf+omap.img.gz12:11
phlippedunzipped and dd'd it to a 4Gb MMC card12:11
phlippedBut it doesn't boot12:11
phlippedget's stuck at ...12:12
phlippedLoading file "/boot/uImage" from mmc device 0:2 (xxa2)12:12
phlippedThis isn't too surprising, because there is no /boot/uImage on the second partition of the MMC12:13
phlippedSo I'm wondering ...12:13
phlippedIs this a bug?12:13
ograthis is definitely not something the ubuntu images do print12:14
phlippedAlso, uboot tries to read uEnv.txt, not boot.scr12:14
ograthats the default, yeah12:14
phlippedyet there's a boot.scr in the FAT partition12:15
phlippedI don't think uboot is even reading it12:15
ograyes, it shouldnt12:16
phlippedoh ... so why is it there?12:16
ograthe "Loading file "/boot/uImage" from mmc device 0:2 (xxa2)" is simply not something an ubuntu image would print though12:16
phlippedno, it's not12:17
ograso check if you accidentially dd'ed to the device (not to a partition) so that an old bootloader partition is around12:17
phlippedit's uboot pringint it12:17
ograerr, if you accidentially *not* dd'ed to the device12:17
phlippeddefinitely dd'd to the device12:18
ograwell, the ubuntu uboot setup doesnt load anything from a /boot dir and doesnt print such stuff12:18
ograso there is something wrong with your SD12:19
ogra(did you change uEnv.txt, preEnv.txt or boot.scr from the defaults ?12:19
ogra)12:19
phlippedI've checked the img file I downloaded from Ubuntu (and checked the hash too), and inspected the partitions in the image file12:20
ograright, but did you change anything ?12:20
phlippedThey are the same files inside the image12:20
phlippedno didn't change anything12:21
ograweird ... these images get tested before release ... quite a lot actually12:21
phlippedyeah, that's what I'm confused about12:21
phlippedI've downloaded it a second time just to be sure12:21
ograit could indeed be that your XM is to new for the shipped kernel ...12:21
ograbut that still wouldnt explain why uboot prints such stuff12:22
phlippedPerhaps, but it's actually pretty old - a year or two12:22
ograand it would then rather hang after the kernel was loaded12:22
ograinstead of searching in a non std place for it12:22
phlippedIt seems to me that the problem is the default boot script is trying to load a file form /boot/uImage12:22
phlippedfrom*12:23
phlippedthe boot script would get modified if uboot would read boot.scr12:23
phlippedbut it doesn't12:23
phlippedThis guy http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#boot.scr_-.3E_uEnv.txt shows a way where you can point uboot back to boot.scr by dropping in a small uEnv.txt12:24
phlippedI tried this and it looks like everything works again12:25
ograthats wrong12:25

turbo_ac100janimo, what's the status of ac100 daily-preinstalled? Are there still changes to the image like newer kernels or similar?15:15
janimoturbo_ac100, no work done on newer kernels15:15
janimothe changes are from regular package updates only15:15
turbo_ac100so same version as 12.10 then? Is this the newest one?15:16
janimoturbo_ac100, yes15:19
janimoturbo_ac100, do you need a newer kernel for some specific reason?15:19
turbo_ac100janimo, well, I asked this on #ac100 some time ago. But my problem with the 12.10 kernel compared to the 12.04 one is that I couldn't set the amount of RAM used for graphics.15:21
turbo_ac100I reduced the mem to ~8-12 Mb in 12.04 and it was 64 or similar in 12.10. I downgraded.15:22
turbo_ac100And in 12.04 cdc_ether doesn't work.15:23
ogradid you file bugs ?15:23
turbo_ac100Lemme check15:24
turbo_ac100about cdc_ether definitely no, because #ac100 said it wouldn't build so i didn't bother15:25
turbo_ac100mem neither. It was common sense in #ac100 that the "old way" of using kernel-cli doesn't work anymore, nobody knew about an alternative15:27
turbo_ac100filed a bug about the memory now. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ac100/+bug/111638015:44

ograi'll have to move to a sane install at some point16:15
* ogra is still on the upgraded chrubuntu16:16
mcurranWhat's the difference between project and "ubuntu for ARM"?  Was this project built from the beginning with an intention of running in a chroot env.?16:16
ograparse error ?16:16
hrwmcurran: rephrase?16:16
hrwogra: never used chrubuntu16:16
mcurranI believe there would be huge market for handheld devices if ubuntu could be dual/multi-booted.16:17
mcurranie. run natively16:17
ograwell, it was the variant that was around when i got my chromebook :)16:17
hrwmcurran: I never used ubuntu in chroot on arm devices16:17
* ogra does all the time for building for different releases16:17
ograbut that doesnt differ from what i do on x8616:17
hrwogra: but you do ubuntu-in-chroot under ubuntu so it does not count16:18
ogramcurran, all official ubuntu arm images are native16:18
ograhrw, ah, yeah, i didnt think about android crap setups that people might do16:18
ogra:)16:18
hrwmcurran: most of customer devices have crazy bootloader setups16:18
* ogra doesnt touch such stuff16:18
hrwneither do I16:19
hrwmcurran: which device you want to run ubuntu on?16:19
TassadarI have ubuntu chroot in Android, but it is the same installation which I also dual-boot, which is kinda great :)16:20
ograyeah, but doesnt help the purpose of the n7 image much :)16:20

ograit heps endusers to get a crappy UI though ;)+16:20
ogra*helps16:21
Tassadarnot really, but I had debian in there before because native ssh in terminal emulator is often better than those android apps, now I at least don't have two installations16:21
ogra(alongside android)16:21
ogradid you fix the kernel upgrade issues btw ?16:22
Tassadaryes16:22
ograawesome, how ?16:22
TassadarI just create the initrd symlink during installation so the first boot works, and after the setup it is managed by Ubuntu, so it's okay.16:23
ograyou dont just set FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP ?16:24
ograthat wouldnt need any additional changes at all16:24
TassadarI also had to disable flash-kernel by "export SKIP_FLASH_KERNEL=1"(or whatever is the right export), because if I do "hold" on uninstalled flash-kernel, it is removed during the setup wizard for whatever reason16:25
ograyeah, you should be able to just add it to /etc/environment16:26
Tassadarthat's what you said before, and that's what I did, thanks :)16:26
ogra(doesnt need "export" i thinnk)16:26
Tassadaryeah16:26
Tassadarogra: I was talking about initrd, because the symlink is not created in the daily image, so I searched for "initrd-*" file instead of using the symlink16:26
Tassadarwhich was kinda dumb :/16:26
ogragreat, so we can at least rely on the fact that people filing bugs have the right kernel16:26
Tassadarwell, I can't be sure everybody properly updated16:31
Tassadar but I think they did16:31
hrwok, kernel sent to pbuilder16:31
Tassadarotherwise flash-kernel would overwrite their Android, which is kinda good reason to check the XDA thread16:32
Tassadarand the problem was only if they had older installation and new kernel was installed via apt-get dist-upgrade16:32
Tassadarif they got newer image, it should be okay16:32
Tassadarbut anyway, sorry if it causes any false bugs :(16:33
ograwell, it causes bug noise for bugs that have been long fixed, not more16:33

diwichrw, fair enough. I have nothing else in the pipeline for SRUing alsa-lib/alsa-utils right now, but if I do, it would be stupid to already have a pending SRU for it17:06

infinityhrw: How much scary code on top of a 3.4.0 vanilla is in that chromebook, and how carefully am I going to have to review it for licensing oopses? :P17:40
mjrosenbcan anyone help me get ubuntu on an sd card on my chromebook?19:06
purezenHey guys..!! If I install Ubuntu on the samsung ARM chromebook.. will I be able to carry on my usual compilation tasks..? such as Android development, python scripting, C++...?19:38
infinitySure.19:38
purezeninfinity: You mean.. all of them..?19:41
infinitypurezen: Well, Android development could depend on how you currently do it, and things might change.19:41
infinityAs in, you can't use an x86 SDK on an ARM machine (obviously).19:41
infinityBut python, C++, whatever, Ubuntu is self-hosting, so it can clearly build for any language.19:41
purezeninfinity: Yeah..:) so the ARM version available on the site will do the job..?19:42
infinitypurezen: Don't see why not.  I don't do Android development, though.19:42
purezeninfinity: Ok.. didn't know that..:) never tried Linux on ARM yet..19:42
purezeninfinity: Ok..19:43
infinityWell, stop calling it "Linux on ARM", and just call it "Linux", and you'll be doing well.19:43
purezeninfinity: Ok.. even better..:)19:43
infinityThe underlying architecture should make almost zero difference, unless you're trying to run precompiler binaries for the wrong CPU. :P19:43
infinityprecompiled*19:43
purezeninfinity: Ok.. that's great.. cause I am planning to get it.. and it'd be a big decision for me..19:45
drizzyi wish there was flash support for arm19:46

drizzyi'm so against kim dotcom19:51
purezenHey.. I can't get any info. on the Chromebook being used for android development.. can anyone confirm here..?19:57
infinitypurezen: If they offer an ARM SDK (ie: something that isn't an x86 cross-compiler), it should work.19:59
purezeninfinity: Ok.. java shows an installer for ARM (there' one there right..?).. but I can't figure out if Android does the same..20:01
purezeninfinty: can you tell from this: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html..?20:02
infinitypurezen: The Sun Java on ARM isn't armhf.20:06
infinitypurezen: But openjdk is in Ubuntu, most people who think they need Sun Java are wrong.20:07
