=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [08:43] hi, I've got an old device some sort of lenovo netbook with freescale i.MX51 SoC running ubuntu 9.04 [08:44] do you know how to update it at least into ubuntu 10.04 ? [08:44] I've written an SD card with ubuntu-10.04-netbook-armel+imx51.img [08:45] but it doesn't seems to boot it when inserted in the built in SD slot [08:46] it seems there's a redboot bootloader in the system but I don't know how to get access to it [08:47] would be safe just change in /etc/apt/sources.list jaunty for lucid and apt-get update + apt-get dist-upgrade ? [08:54] what happens when you run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [08:54] i forgot the command but you can list if there is a distro upgrade available [08:55] well it says download about 1k pakages [08:56] 1075 upgraded [08:56] 345 newly installed [08:56] 41 to remove [08:57] an 0 not upgraded [08:57] that sounds alright [08:58] i would do it, but not many of my systems are business critical [08:59] ok, I'll give a try [09:00] but I'm wondering where kernel/initfs is in that system [09:01] maybe there's something else I need to update, I've seen in dmesg about four partitions in a mmc like storage [09:01] I think one was labeled redboot and another one kernel [09:09] damn, things doesn't go smooth, post-installation script of libc6 segmented [09:11] well seems I've probably broken it [09:11] ideas ? [09:15] ad-n770: userspace can be updated even to 13.04. the problem may be with old kernel [09:16] any procedure suggested to unbrick it ? [09:17] ad-n770: get to bootloader, boot other system image? [09:17] hrw, jaunty armel was just "debian rebuild in the ubuntu infarstructure" ... from karmic on it was VFP, ARMv6 etc etc ... it can well be the new libc incompatible uses instructions [09:18] *uses incompatible instructions [09:18] ogra_: imx51 should be able to use it anywya [09:18] hrw, but probably not the installed system :) [09:19] mx51 is slow as hell anyway [09:19] mmm, behind the battery I've found more card reader slots [09:19] yeah, cortex-a8 isnt really for desktops [09:19] ad-n770: can you share a photo of device? [09:20] it's a black netbook with lenovo text on the screen [09:20] * ogra_ guesses it has genesi printed on the lid [09:20] oh [09:20] ad-n770: photo please [09:20] give me a sec [09:21] I may guess that it is yet another pegatron clone like efikamx [09:21] anyway, a) you would need to upgrade from jaunty via karmic, going straight to lucid wouldnt work ... [09:21] and b) the ABI changed massively between jaunty and lucid [09:27] https://www.dropbox.com/s/bgy9ykc1tn0p5sb/photo%20%281%29.JPG [09:28] lenovo written in the screen [09:28] plug for power, phones and SD card on left [09:28] two usb and an empty hole at right side [09:30] with battery removed I've found what seems a micro SD slot and another slot I can't identify [09:33] yet another pegatron ;) [09:33] ad-n770: its sim slot [09:33] ad-n770: find instructions for efikamx smartbook and follow [09:34] now it's just bricked, I read "input: pegatron kunlun extra buttons" [09:34] ad-n770: it is not [09:34] ad-n770: it just look that way [09:35] http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2012/02/01/flashing-u-boot-on-efika-mx-smartbook/ is one post to help [09:35] reading it now [09:36] ad-n770: http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/ may also help [09:37] ad-n770: join #efika channel as well [09:38] ad-n770: or just put it into box with "electrotrashes" sign on it [09:38] I will try to recover it === brendand is now known as brendand_afk === brendand_afk is now known as brendand === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [12:29] ogra_, BTW: You are responsible for http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/302/builds/52690/testcases right?
