* Snark is pondering... N7 or chromebook?06:42
Snarktwo questions on the chromebook : is there somewhere documentation on how to get ubuntu *on* the device (not on a usb key)? Is it possible to let an SD card in it the whole time (like I do with the AC100)?08:25
SnarkI have never seen documented how to put ubuntu on the mmc, and I have read (can't remember where) that the SD card was really sticking out when put in, so can't really be left there08:26
xnoxSnark: ac100 uses sdcard or usb stick for _intallation_ afterwards ubuntu is installed on to normal partitions.....10:24
xnoxsome devices do limit one which places it can boot from, so a panda can only do usb on the go boot or boot from sd card.10:25
gildeanxnox: you can also install to external on the ac10010:27
gildeanfrom usb to sd or vice versa10:27
ogra_no, there is a bug :)10:35
ogra_you can install to usb from SD, but not the other way round10:35
ogra_Snark, look for the chrubuntu scripts, i have ubuntu on the internal MMC on my chromebook ... they resized the system partition to make room for it so i have a parallel install10:36
ogra_(i think hrw did the same initially on his)10:37
hrwyes10:37
ogra_i'm pondering to get http://eu.apacer.com/products/AH152 for a re-install though10:38
ogra_doesnt stick out to much and should be faster than the MMC10:38
ogra_(or any SD card)10:38
hrwogra_: price?10:39
ogra_dunno, i still havent found a european shop that sells it ... should be below $3010:39
ogra_its not as fast as it could be,  but stilll gets you around 60MB/s for reading and around 80 for writing10:40
ogra_err, other way rouond10:41
ogra_80 for readfing, 60 for writing10:41
ogra_(write speed doesnt concern me to much with 2G of ram though ... i just want fast reads)10:41
hrwI use external hdd on usb3 port10:52
ogra_i dont like to have something hanging off the device .... and long USB sticks are to dangerous ... they easily turn into levers that open your case10:53
hrwogra_: I use that hdd only at home10:54
hrwogra_: chromebook -> usb3 hub -> {usb3 hdd, usb2 eth}10:54
ogra_yeah, not really a good idea if you want to put the OS on it :)10:54
ogra_and still take the laptop with you10:54
hrw10.5GB on internal is enough10:55
ogra_yeah, its not the size, its the speed :)10:56
ogra_i'm fine with carrying data on SD ... but i want the OS to be snappy10:57
hrwogra_: wasn't emmc 50-60MB/s?10:57
ogra_or snappier ...10:57
Snarkogra_, I need more room -- I have about 10G which I need to have quite accessible (slow isn't a problem)10:59
ogra_hrw, 34MB/s according to hdparm11:00
ogra_(and according to dd tests)11:00
Snarkadd to that the system and the sage installation on a reasonably fast "disk" (mmc)11:00
hrwogra_: enough for me11:00
ogra_Snark, well, add a 32G SD card then11:00
Snarkogra_, it must not stick out too much11:01
ogra_or get such a tiny USB key ... 2.0 ones are easy to get11:01
ogra_if you dont care about speed, 2.0 ones are all around11:01
ogra_http://the-gadgeteer.com/2010/08/12/worlds-smallest-micro-sdhc-usb-card-reader/11:02
ogra_get one of these :)11:02
hrwogra_: usb2.0 card readers are fine with today's 'fast' sd cards11:03
hrwmy 32GB samsung microsd does just 19MB/s11:03
ogra_yeah11:03
hrwnevermind sd slot or usb2 port11:03
SnarkI don't need very fast on that part of the data11:03
ogra_if you dont care about speed thats definitelty fine11:03
Snarkogra_, ok, that leaves the question on kicking chromeos out of the device and have only ubuntu11:05
Snark(and a solution where hitting space at the wrong moment won't destroy the system)11:05
ogra_hitting space ?11:05
hrwogra_: instead of ctrl-d11:05
ogra_ah11:06
ogra_i doubt thats easily fixable11:06
hrwogra_: press space and devmode will be off11:06
ogra_yeah, i remember11:06
ogra_never happened to me11:06
hrwSnark: are you brave enough and have 249$ spare?11:06
hrwu-boot can be reflashed11:07
ogra_that bright white bootscreen is so heavily in your face, i doubt you will hit space accidentially11:07
hrwyou know... I feel that I should finally update chromebook packages in ubuntu...11:22
hrwbut laziness wins11:22
=== nslu2-log_ is now known as nslu2-log
ogra_hrw, well, i feel like i finally should make flas-kernel work ... but laziness wins too here11:24
ogra_(though the oopses on boot wi5th the std kernel actually annoy me)11:24
hrwogra_: flash-kernel for chromebook?11:24
ogra_indeed11:25
ogra_to just install a packaged kernel without hassle11:25
hrwogra_: I think we need first to switch to chainloaded uboot11:25
hrwso no signing of kernels etc11:25
ogra_why ?11:25
ogra_you packaged the signing tools, didnt you ?11:25
hrwogra_: now you need /etc/default/chromebook-cmdline file11:25
hrwogra_: and they are stuck in Debian NEW for >month11:26
ogra_thats fine11:26
ogra_f-k can ship a default11:26
hrwogra_: there is no such thing as default11:26
ogra_well, nothing blocks us of going ahead and pulling them into ubuntu first11:26
hrwdefault is p2 on sd? p2 on usb? p7 on emmc/sd/usb?11:26
ogra_there is a default in /proc/cmdline, no ?11:27
hrwno11:27
hrwach, that way11:27
hrwcheck how you booted and reuse?11:27
ogra_ogra@chromebook:~$ cat /proc/cmdline11:27
ogra_cros_secure console= console=tty1 debug verbose root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 rootwait rw11:27
ogra_just adjust if needed ... else just dump it into the default11:28
ogra_so why does my SD card not mount anymore ... hmm11:32
* ogra_ wonders why these global notices never go into the channel i'm current;y in11:36

Snarkhrw, 249$ translates to 299€, don't you know? But yes, I'm brave enough: if I buy remote, I have seven days to change my mind ;-)12:28
hrwSnark: or to 229GBP12:28

Snarkhrw, is there some documentation somewhere of a similar... uh... hack on another type of computer12:41

hrwright12:52
angsogra_: does your omap3 ubuntu-server 12.04  image for beagleboard-xm include firewall/firewall setting?13:13
angshow can I check it?13:13
angsif it has or not13:13
* Snark really wonders what he should buy13:16
Snark:-/13:16
ogra_angs, ubuntu doesn not use any firewalls by default13:17
angsogra_, thank you13:17
ogra_angs, but ufw is available (and iptables (which is the backenmd for ufw) shoudl eb enabled in the kernel) in case you are paranoid ...13:18
ogra_usually you dont need any firefalling since there are no ports open by default, they only get opened once you install the respective package (i.e. a webserver to open port 80)13:19
angsno I am having a network problem, I was wondering if there is any firewall setting or so that causes problem.13:19
ogra_nope13:19

angsis the ath9k_htc driver on ubuntu-server released by Atheros or developed by open source committee?15:43
infinityangs: It's in the upstream kernel source.15:51
angsinfinity, I don't know much about kernels, do you know if the source is developed by Atheros?15:52
angssource of ath9k_htc15:52
infinityangs: Atheros participates, but you asked if it was "by open source committee", and it being upstream means "yes".15:54
infinityangs: Atheros donated the original source, and continues to contribute, but they're not the only contributors.15:54
angsinfinity, I got it now, thank you15:55

siretarthi. I would like to run an Ubuntu ARM server inside qemu on my amd64 laptop. I wonder if there was any way to get the ubuntu-installer from http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/raring/main/installer-armhf/current/images/ started in a similar way to the installer on i38617:40
siretartin my experiments, I always ended up with a black screen. is there some documentation what kernel parameters I need to pass, so that I get something on the serial console?17:40
jimericksonwas having issues with bug #1159890. but now ubuiquity freezes solid at "Installing libdvdnav4". no mouse no keyboard.  pandaboard ES todays image.18:50
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1159890 in linux-ti-omap4 (Ubuntu) "omapdss SPI error: could not enable display: no manager" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/115989018:50
ogra_now the question would be why do we install libdvdnav4 at all :)18:51
ogra_sounds a bit like a kernel issue with USB though18:52
jimericksonok i will try again tomorrow i guess, crosses fingers. thanks ogra_18:53
ogra_well, we dont touch these images for raring (in fact we were about to drop that flavour completely ...) i'll do a test myself after easter ...18:54
ogra_theroetically the kernel and setup is identical to quantal18:54
ogra_just with updated package versions ...18:55
ogra_(for the desktop)18:55
jimericksondo you mean omap4-armhf will be dropped? sad panda is sad.18:55
ogra_panda has been killed by TI18:55
jimericksonoh i see18:55
ogra_like ... they fired ~500 ppl18:55
jimericksonyikes!18:55
ogra_everyone working on panda and mobile OMAP18:55
infinityWe'll probably drop the desktop images, we won't drop Panda kernel support (the new -generic kernel supports Panda as well)18:56
ogra_infinity, nope, we wont18:56
infinityBut without PVR GLES drivers, we can't support the desktop.18:56
infinityogra_: We won't what?18:56
ogra_after much back and forth we will keep desktop with quantal kernel as unsupported images18:56
infinityogra_: I meant "in the future", not this release.18:56
ogra_ah, yeah18:57
infinityogra_: I know what the plan is for this release.18:57
ogra_they will go away first thing in S18:57
ogra_ok, i wasnt sure18:57
ogra_because the plan changed every hour for the last weeks18:57
infinityBut even in S, Panda will still have kernel support, just no desktop support, due to the pvr-omap mess.18:57
ogra_right, it should be -generic and server images18:57
infinityAlso, the rumours of the death of OMAP are greatly exaggerated, according to every TI person I talked to at Connect.18:58
infinitySo, try not to spread too much misinformation.18:58
ogra_heh, OMAP in mobile is dead18:58
infinityThey switched OMAP focus away from mobile, yes.18:58
ogra_and all mobile engineers are gone18:58
infinityBut it's still very much alive.  Just not for phones, tablets, etc.18:58
ogra_right18:58
ogra_well, i'm just echoing theoir press releases18:59
jimericksonso should i keep panda and run android or just retire it?18:59
ogra_if their marketing makes a mess dont make me responsible :)18:59
infinityjimerickson: Android will have the same issues.18:59
ogra_right18:59
jimericksonoh ok18:59
ogra_jimerickson, you can still test server18:59
ogra_and use it if you ever plan to build arm packages19:00
jimericksonalright19:00
infinityThey're fine little headless machines still.  But 3D acceleration on desktop Linux and Android will be harder to come by.19:00
jimericksonindeed they are. still sad though.19:01
jimericksonalright i suppose i will switch to a raspberrypi and run raspian. thats a topic for a different channel though ;)19:04
ogra_well, you coudl use ubuntu touch on some old phone :)19:05
ogra_(or on a nexus7)19:05
ogra_ubuntu-touch is becoming the new ubuntu-arm-desktop19:06
doomlorddoes ubuntu on n7 use the gpu/ opengl19:07
doomlordubuntu-arm desktop that is19:07
ogra_yes19:07
ogra_it uses the binary tegra3 Xorg driver19:08
doomlordhas anyone here had dual-boot working?19:08
doomlord(android/ubuntu)19:08
ogra_some people do, we dont encourage it though19:08
ogra_since we dont really test with it and might just wipe your android accidentially19:09
* tassadar_ raises his hand19:09
ogra_right, talk to tassadar_, he'S the dual boot guru :)19:09
doomlordi'm using my n7 as an android development target, however one reason i bought an n7 was seeing the ubuntu support19:09
ogra_well, long term the ubuntu-desktop image for it will turn into ubuntu-touch ....19:10
ogra_which means it will run an android/ubuntu hybrid core19:10
doomlordwill you still be able to enable the desktop on a touch device (like in win8)19:10
doomlordi know it wont be optimal19:11
ogra_we will definitely have the convergence stuff some point after 13.1019:11
ogra_so that it runs the desktop once you dock it19:11
tassadar_it's soo unfortunate that n7 does not have hdmi :/19:11
ogra_but i doubt that you will be able to for example dual boot ...19:11
ogra_since the partitioning will be changed etc etc19:12
doomlordi guess when everything is inplace you'll less want to19:12
ogra_yeah :)19:12
doomlordbut i would definitely want to be able to bring up the desktop even without docking19:12
tassadar_I still wonder how do you plan to repartition n7 Oo19:12
ogra_that might work once the desktop was moved to QML19:12
doomlordone thing i'm after is a Synergy client on tablet devices - to extend 'workspace' from my laptop..19:13
ogra_the next big change on touch will be the switch to Mir ... with that you will have to have Mir compatible toolkits19:13
ogra_(and will lose Xorg support until XMir exists ... which is a target for the desktop but not for touch atm ... so it wont be there immediately)19:14
doomlordis there a website / wiki describing all this19:15
doomlordsome roadmap plans..19:15
ogra_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec?action=show&redirect=MirSpec#Mir_Today19:15
doomlordmir is like wayland?19:17
ogra_kind of ... but totally different :)19:17
ogra_they will be able to use the same drivers in the end ... and have a similar but slightly different protocol ... but for example the input layer will be a totally different thing in Mir ...19:18
ogra_and Mir is currently using android drivers, Wayland completely dropped android support plans19:19
doomlordmir is for androiid AND x86 pcs?19:19
ogra_for more details ask in #ubuntu-mir :)19:19
ogra_yes19:19
doomlordis this somethiing that has partial implementations now that you can experiment with19:20
ogra_well it is for ubuntu touch and PCs :)19:20
ogra_ubuntu touch just happens to use android drivers19:20
ogra_ask in #ubuntu-mir ... i think they are working on N7 support right now19:21
ogra_since N7 and N4 will be the first devices using it19:21
