LisaNori1Curious, I keep reading about ubuntu for smartphones "coming soon", but don't bugs such as #1068994 (button 1 gets stuck) and #1091663 (3G nonfunctional) kinda hamper this?  Or are these only a problem on a nexus7 and not on nexus4?01:03

infinityLisaNori1: But, also, some of those bugs don't apply to the phone product, no.01:27
LisaNori1I understand.  I was just curious and trying to clarify my understanding.01:27

rebI have an ARM Chromebook running Ubuntu 12.04.  "apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" does not work.  What are my options?02:40
rebI'm interested in the settings manager in order to turn off the behavior of the "search" key on my Chromebook keyboard.02:41
rebPossibly I just need some xmodmap magic.02:42
infinityAre you even sure you're running unity-3d?02:46
infinityIf you have no binary 3d drivers, you're probably not.02:46
infinityWhich means you're not using compiz.02:46
infinityWhich means the regular old gnome keyboar control panel will probably fix you up.02:47
infinityOr xmodmap, yes.02:47
ptlis this the new samsung chromebook with ARM A15?02:51
infinityI assume that's what's being referred to, yes.02:55
infinityAnd we don't have 3d drivers for it, that I know of.02:55
infinitySo, it's likely not running compiz. :P02:55

* xnox ponders about fastboot in main15:15
ppisatirobclark: hi, back then you pointed me to some patches to make the pvr-omap module work with upstream kernel16:13
ppisatirobclark: do you know if 1) 3.8/3.9 + your patches will work?16:14
ppisatirobclark: 2) can you remind me where those patches are (can't find it right now)16:14
lupus_how far ubuntu arm is from running on samsung and nexus tablets?16:20
ogra_we have an image for the nexus716:21
ogra_no samsung not nx1016:21
lupus_:/16:21
lupus_Samsung note 10.1 here... would love to run ubuntu on this beast16:22
ogra_well, we kind of rely on having an unlockable fastboot on the device16:22
ogra_which binds us to nexus and probably asus atm16:23
lupus_yeah16:23
ogra_additionally you need working GLES Xorg drivers ....16:23
lupus_How well the nexus 7 works?16:24
ogra_mali doesnt have any that are licensed in a way we could distribute ...16:24
ogra_well, unity isnt a tablet UI at all ...16:24
ogra_beyond that fact it works quite well i'd say16:24
shadeslayerthere's a meeting going on about that right now isn't there?16:25
ogra_yes16:26
ogra_in #ubuntu-meeting16:26
ogra_every friday at this time16:26
shadeslayerand I pretty much forget every friday :(16:26
lupus_well ill hope that linux would hit arm cpus, really like these silent machines16:26
ogra_ubuntu runs on arm machines since several years :)16:27
ogra_just not on many enduser devices yet, we're just starting with the nexus716:27
lupus_yeah but like all of them, tablets etc :)16:27
lupus_heh16:27
shadeslayerwithout unlocked bootloaders and GPU drivers, that will be hard16:28
ogra_right, it ios limited to usable HW16:28
shadeslayerthere's another tablet that I've heard about, the Archos 101XS Gen 1016:28
lupus_i had huge troubles with acer s3-931 laptop, uefi and ubuntu.. hate that new uefi boot16:28
shadeslayerhas an OMAP 4470 SoC ... and has linux GPU drivers16:29
robclarkppisati, I think ndec would know if there is some activity for pvr, etc, on 3.8..16:29
robclarkshadeslayer, 4470 has android support.. not so much linux support tho, unfortunately.. a pity b/c x11 would do well with the 2d core16:30
ppisatindec: ^16:30
ppisatindec2: ^16:30
lupus_hey, does the arm version of ubuntu have the same features than normal ubuntu?16:30
shadeslayerlupus_: mostly, there's loads of stuff that doesn't compile with GLES so it's disabled16:30
ppisatirobclark: in the mean time, can you remind me where those patches are?16:30
shadeslayerwell .. maybe 'loads' is the wrong word here16:31
lupus_android lacks real multitasking, so thats the main reason why i would love to have ubuntu on tablet16:32
robclarkppisati, on dev.omapzoom.org, there should be a ubuntu kernel tree.. look for the 1488 (iirc) branch.. that should be close enough to get started16:32
* robclark just heading out the door16:32
ogra_xnox, well, the spike persists quite long16:33
ogra_but anacron is indeed a good guess16:33
* ogra_ didnt think about that before16:33
ogra_i was suspecting apport or whoosie ... but then i couldnt see any spiking when watching them16:33
xnoxogra_: apt-xapian can take a while on arm ;-)16:33
ogra_*whoopsie16:33
ogra_xnox, do we run it on every boot ?16:34
ogra_i thought thats only run at install time16:34
xnoxwell after the initial flash it is your first boot ever so I expect everything to run.16:34
xnoxah true, it is at install time.... unless timestamps are off =/16:34
ogra_right16:35
ogra_for me it happens on every boot16:35
ogra_the desktop is fine after a few minutes ... but initially it spikes to 600M16:35
ppisatirobclark: ok, should be this one - https://github.com/robclark/kernel-omap4/commits/pvr16:40
ppisatiiirc16:40
shadeslayerrobclark: oh16:40
shadeslayerrobclark: from what I was told ( and from what I see on gitorious ) the kernel works fine16:41
shadeslayerhttps://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen10/blobs/master/Readme.txt && https://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen9-kernel16:41
shadeslayeranyway, arm stuff is so fiddly :(16:42
hrwshadeslayer: problem with kernels for arm devices is that most of them totally ignore mainline.17:06
robclarkshadeslayer, yeah, kernel should work fine for *android*.. getting it working w/ linux and gfx accel, etc, will probably not be straightforward17:21
ptlany of you guys know why I can't write on my MTD recovery partition without byte differences? I tried dd, flash_image and even tried a statically-compiled ddrescue to write it!!! log here: http://pastebin.com/xhRDazn823:12
