Tassadardickmacinnis: are you dual-booting it?00:00
dickmacinnisI was, and having noticed that others doing so were getting this bug, I did a wipe and fresh install via the official installer. With the fresh install, I saw the plymouth splash for a little longer, but I get the same end result.00:01
Tassadarthe image is broken. It happens, this is not stable release after all. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.00:02
Tassadardo you want some older working image?00:03
dickmacinnisTassadar: yes, that would be fantastic. I just got my nexus7 yesterday, and can't find an older build anywhere.00:04

Tassadarfrom somebody on XDA00:04
dickmacinnisTassadar: thanks so much! Downloading right now.00:04
Tassadarwell, thank you for assuring me that it's the image and not multirom)00:08

joaohi, so I've just flashed my Nexus 7 using the latest image, however the screen goes black after "localhost login: [Powering wi-fi]". It's stuck for more than 30 minutes now. Any thoughts?01:02

Tassadarfrom someone on XDA, it's a bit old, so apt-get dist-upgrade will take long if you'll01:04
joaook thanks, i was following this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation01:06
joaonow i should do like on manual install?01:07
Tassadaryeah01:07
Tassadarthis is the fastboot image which you would install in step 1 of manual installation01:08
Tassadar*download01:08
joaook thanks, i'll give it a try01:09

* Tassadar hopes that dropbox account won't get banned because of too many downloads)01:42

Tassadarit's stuck, just....reboot nexus and try again01:42
Tassadarit shouldn't break anything, it's just boot image01:43
isaiasis this one boot or userdata?01:43
Tassadaruserdata01:44
isaiasthank you :D01:44
Tassadarboot from current daily should/could work okay01:44
joaoretrying, i'm afraid to waste 300€ hence didnt reboot :P01:44
joaook, took 1 second now01:45
Tassadaryeah, that's how it should be)01:46
isaiasi can just use the new boot, and the userdata you sent me, right?01:46
isaiasok, lol01:46

joaoit worked :)02:00
isaiaswill i need to learn a specific language to modify (add a usable program/app) for the tablet when the final product come out? or will it be more like PC where i can use whatever?02:00
isaiaswhat I mean is, with ubuntu phone, they're telling me I have to learn QML02:00
Tassadarwell, we still don't really know what the "final" product is in case of Nexus 702:01
isaiaswill I be able to run a compiler? lol02:01
Tassadaryes02:01
Tassadarwell02:01
TassadarI have no idea02:01
Tassadarnow you can :D02:01
isaiasthen I'm happy :)02:02
TassadarUbuntu phone apps will be using c++ and QML02:02
joaodamn, keyboard doesn't show up lol and i still don't have my usb otg adapter02:02
Tassadarjoao: are in the "installation wizard"? try to reboot it02:02
isaiasi'm working on my C++, but they're telling me that for now, apps will only be in QML02:02
TassadarQML is the UI02:03
joaoyes, trying to put my name and stuff, i'll reboot02:03
Tassadarit's more like "scripting language"02:03
Tassadaryou are not expected to say, render a web page in that language02:04
isaiasi never heard of QML. fairly new to programming, lol02:04
Tassadarbut, for example simple actions like "User toggles checkbox -> button gets enabled/disabled" should be in there02:05
isaiasok02:05
Tassadarit looks much better to me than Android and "Java", that's for sure)02:05
joaoisnt there a way to reboot while on the "installation wizard" other than "brute force" ?02:05
isaiasmain reason I chose C++ is because I want to do more with my Ubuntu. If Ubuntu-Phone doesnt support apps in C++, it will be kind of dissapointing02:05
Tassadarjoao: I think not, because your username/password is not yet created, so you can't even log in to console02:06
joaoit will support C++ afaik02:07
joaohttp://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/app-ecosystem02:07
TassadarI just spent whole day trying to write "driver" for USB ACM device using Android USB API, and it's still not working as I would image :/02:07
scientesTassadar, i believe people do android drier development on ubuntu and the like02:08
TassadarI'm sorry, what? ubuntu like channel #ubuntu?02:09
isaiasTassadar: hey, if you're scared your dropbox will get deleted because of the downloads, feel free to give out mine02:09

isaias:/05:12
isaiasthis keeps crashing05:12
ashesi'm curious what you do with your ubuntu-arm machines07:44
ashesi have one, and i don't know what to do with it07:44
ashesi have another arm machine running as a NAS, so i don't need another07:45
ashesi'm in a home environment07:45
ashesi have a seagate goflex archlinux NAS. it's able to do what it can do. it's simple. i have a trim slice, which can do a tiny bit more, regardless of being a nvidia cpu. i would like to put the trim slice to use, somehow07:51
ashesthe goflex is owned. i can run buildroot on it, or cross-linuxfromscratch. it's owned07:51
ashesthe trimslice begs gpu drivers07:52
gildeanashes: the tegra2-driver that's used on the ac100 works fine on the trimslice07:52
gildean"fine"07:53
ashesi have tried taloring video for the trim slice, and it still doesn't run well07:53
gildeanas well as nvidia's beta-drivers work07:53
ashesit stops07:53
ashesi thought it was an i/o problem, and it's something else07:54
ashesit means i need a backend to recode stuff07:54
ashesvideo plays, but really badly07:55
gildeanashes: which drivers are you sporting?07:55
ashesh26407:56
ashesif you can give me a link to a video that should play well on a trim slice, and if it plays well, i will shut up about the hardware problems07:56
ashesi will figure it out from there07:57
gildeanh264 is a video-codec, i was asking about which display-drivers are you using?07:58
gildeanthe tegra2 has a hard time playing anything hd, so that's mainly out of the question07:58
ashesx11, nvidia.07:59
ashesin reality, i will never ever buy nvidia again, like ever. i thought i was finished 10 years ago, and today you will need to spike red hot spikes in me before i agree to this again08:01
ashesi am trying to salvage this machine, and its not easy08:01
ashesit does shit in 1/8th the time of my laptop08:02
ashesso finding a use for it is hard08:02
ashesuhm08:03
ashes100/8ths08:03
ashesthe gpu is the only useful part08:04
ashesand it's not usefull08:04
ashesnvidia has made me check over every single driver when i buy hardware, to make sure none of it is nvidia08:06
ashesthey have done the final nail08:06
ashesi did this when i bought my laptop08:06
ashesand for some reason when i bought my arm system i went retarded08:07
ashes'nvidia, sure, trust them to give me drivers!'08:08
ashesor, not08:08
ashesi have a machine i paid $250 for, th08:09
ashesi have a machine i paid $250 for, with a nvidia cpu/gpu, and it's good for nothing to me08:09
ashesit's not a NAS, not a XBMC, not a firewall08:10
ashesit is good for nothing08:10
ashesit's a paperweight08:11
asheslinux doing nothing because nvidia is not cooperating08:12
ashesnever buy nvidia. do not believe their sales bullshits about supporting new hardware. buy ati08:14
ashesnever buy nvidia08:15
ashesever08:15
ashesyou will get fucked08:15
ogra_can you stop the vendor bashing please ?08:15
ashesi'm fustrated08:16
ogra_yes, but its not appropriate for this channel08:16
ogra_did you download and install the codecs from nvidia ? we only have the GL drivers in the archive, not the codecs08:16
ogra_so while GL apps will be fine, for video playback you will need additional bits08:17

mosasaurI need a distro with gcc >= 4.615:43
boernhey guys, i just had a problem i would like to share with you..  i installed ubuntu on my nexus 7 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation) i did in manually..  the part where you flash your userdata normally takes you 80 seconds.. on my computer it took 960 seconds.. i though i did something wrong but now its working..15:44

=== zz_jackyalcine is now known as jackyalcine
ogra_mosasaur, its http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports17:50
ogra_mosasaur, also i would install qemu-user=static and use qemu-debootstrap, thats way smarter for creating a chroot (and you can directly chroot into it after debootstrap is done)17:51
mosasaurthanks ogra, but I still can't get it to work17:54
mosasaurdebootstrap --arch armhf --foreign --verbose precise http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports17:54
ogra_erm17:55
ogra_you are missing the target dir17:55
ogra_debootstrap --arch armhf --foreign --verbose precise /path/to/chroot http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports17:55
ogra_mosasaur, ^^17:55
mosasaurit works!17:56
* mosasaur feels very stupid and happy now17:57
ogra_but really, use qemu-debootstrap ... saves you the whole second debootstrap run (and you dont need --foreign)17:58
mosasaurI'm kind of hacking this to work with ubuntu instead of debian: http://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/debian-on-android17:59
mosasaurI had extract the build-arm-chroot script from an old lucid18:00
mosasaurbut that script is just a thin wrapper around debootstrap it seems18:01
ogra_yeah, that became qemu-debootstrap18:01
mosasaurthanks a lot ogra_ !18:01
ogra_well, its a lot more, the qemu-user-static package establishes a binfmt handler18:02
ogra_which qemu-debootstrap uses ... this way you can just chroot into the armhf chroot on an x86 machine18:02
mosasaurI had to adapt it to make it think armhf is acceptable18:02
ogra_you shouldnt need to18:03
mosasaurbut indeed I could just do it all by myself, the problem is this is all very new to me18:03
ogra_wow, that howto is really using ancient stuff18:03
mosasaurthe script is so old it doesn't know armhf18:04
ogra_yes, i know18:04
* ogra_ wrote that stuff years ago18:04
mosasaurwhat that is your script :p18:04
ogra_but also havent touched it in years, debian adopted it into qemu-user-static18:05
ogra_no, build-arm-chroot was mine18:05
ogra_and the whole qemu-arm-static stuff18:05
mosasauranyway it still works with a slight mod18:05
ogra_right, the new way would be easier though :)18:05
ogra_do you plan to have a full desktop install or just a basic environment18:06
mosasaurI'm making an image to run in a loop device on my android machine18:09
mosasaurthe Android sdcard has a 4GB limit, becasue it's vfat18:09
ogra_yes, but what do you plan to have inside that image ?18:09
ogra_a desktop environment or just a basic commandline system18:10
mosasaurI need a gcc >= 4.6 and an armhf kernel to compile rtlsdr18:10
ogra_we provide a tarball for armhf with a basic but unconfigured cmdline system18:11
ogra_http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/daily/current/18:11
ogra_just grab it there18:11
ogra_its pretty much what you get with debootstrap18:11
ogra_so you can just untar it into your mounted image18:11
mosasaurOK thanks, but I was under the impression these are preconfigured for specific devices18:11
ogra_nope, they are exactly not preconfigured so you can build images out of them ;)18:12
ogra_thats the whole purpose of ubuntu-core18:12
mosasaurright I see, that is much easier18:12
ogra_http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/OMAP_Ubuntu_Core#Login_in_.22root.22_without_the_need_of_a_password18:13
ogra_you might want ths though18:13
ogra_(i dont think your howto works without unlocking root ... ubuntu locks it by default)18:14
mosasaurI already had root by exploiting an exynos privilege escalation18:15
mosasaurbut then I installed cyanogenmod and now I have that yellow triangle18:16
ogra_i'm talking about your ubuntu environemnt18:16
ogra_not about the underlying android18:16
ogra_you either need to set a root password or unlick the root account in the image you are building18:17
ogra_*unlock18:17
mosasaurI am setting a root password while I am still in a chroot on my ubuntu machine18:18
ogra_ok18:18
isaias++..................................................................+.18:18
mosasauron the android machine I run it under a VNC18:18
ogra_isaias, i fished out teh last known working nexus7 image from a backup  ... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled/last-good-image/18:19
ogra_isaias, it shoudl work with the manual install method described on the aiki18:19
ogra_*wiki18:19
mosasaurbut I read about someone making an xserver.apk, could not make it work on my device though18:19
isaiasI just finished doing it :D18:19
isaiasthank you!18:19
ogra_isaias, you mean you already tried that specific image ?18:19
isaiasjust rebooted to see it works18:20
isaiasits flashing18:20
* ogra_ handt announced the url anywhere yet 18:20
isaiaso, wait18:20
isaiasits different18:20
isaiasi went to /current18:20
ogra_which one do you use ?18:20
ogra_ah18:20
isaiasit said it was uploaded today18:20
ogra_thats likely exposing the same breakage18:20
isaiasoh18:21
isaiasok18:21
ogra_yes, i havent found the reason yet, but also havent tried the image from the 17th18:21
isaiasaww xD18:21
ogra_so it would be good if you could let it move on18:21
isaiaswell, I'll try it out :P18:21
ogra_to report if its any different18:21
isaiasanything special you want me to do?18:21
ogra_no, just leave it do its thing18:22
isaiask18:22
ogra_see if you get into the graphical installer after the splash screen or if it stays black18:22
isaiasok18:22
isaiasi had tried an older img but it kept crashing. had to plug it in and wait for the "battery full" to show up to be able to turn it on18:23
ogra_ah, yeah, battery should be charged when installing18:24
isaiasscared me a little when i saw the messed up screen lol18:24
isaiasbattery was fully charged18:24
ogra_the device seems to start behaving weird if it is below a certain value18:24
isaiasahh18:24
ogra_at least for installing ...18:24
isaiasThe screen is black. I'll leave it for a few minutes to see is anything happens18:27
ogra_yeah, the installer startup is very slow18:27
isaiassomething should have happenedc by nos18:36
isaiasnow*18:37
ogra_yes18:37
ogra_it shouldnt take more than 1-2min18:37
ogra_i havent tested the "last-good-image" yet, but i think it should be fine18:37
isaiaswebsite says it would take up to 20 min18:37
isaiasso I would be testing it?18:38
* ogra_ is on a slow connection ....18:38
ogra_my download will still take 30min ... then i'll test it18:38
ogra_if you can get it before, go ahead :)18:38
isaias5 min for me18:38
isaiasleft, i mean18:38
isaiaslol\18:38
mosasaurwhere can I find /ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-armhf/Packages ?18:43

ogra_well, it should be busy unpacking the tarball18:57
isaiasok18:57
ogra_but it also tells you that it is18:57
isaiasnot doing anything18:57
ogra_"preparing the root filesystem, this will take several minutes ..."18:58
isaiasit said that, then it all went dark18:58
ogra_thats the "last good" one ?18:58
isaiasyep18:58
ogra_crap18:58
