| wookey | doko_: is three a reason why networking doesn't work inside the trusty schroot in your image? | 00:34 |
| infinity | wookey: Wants a valid resolv.conf? | 00:34 |
| wookey | which I expect schroot to sort out for me on chroot entry | 00:35 |
| wookey | looks like that clever stuff may be turned off | 00:35 |
| wookey | right. It's got the same static one the extrernal chroot has | 00:36 |
| wookey | OK. that's better | 00:38 |

| abhishek___ | I have development board with Android preloaded on it. I want to run the Ubuntu desktop version on it. What steps I need to perform? | 09:00 |
| abhishek___ | Please suggest me | 09:00 |
| abhishek___ | I have development board with Android preloaded on it. I want to run the Ubuntu desktop version on it. What steps I need to perform? | 09:36 |
| abhishek___ | Please suggest me | 09:36 |
| shadeslayer | abhishek___: what board? | 09:48 |
| abhishek___ | IFC6410 | 09:48 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: I have IFC6410 board with Android pre-loaded on it | 09:49 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: I have source code of Android ......downloaded from codeaurora | 09:49 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: I want to run Ubuntu desktop on it? | 09:50 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: can you please suggest me what steps to follow? | 09:50 |
| shadeslayer | abhishek___: start with compiling the kernel that comes with it, pack a ubuntu ARM initramfs, combine the two together to create a flashable image, create a standard ubuntu image ( just the ubuntu-standard package) and then flash all of that and try to boot it? | 09:52 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: I have compiled the kernel .....(Also, I can pic the zImage from Android images available to me) | 09:54 |
| shadeslayer | not quite | 09:54 |
| shadeslayer | you'll probably have to enable various other kernel options | 09:54 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: from where to get the Ubuntu ARM initramfs ? | 09:54 |
| shadeslayer | abhishek___: you'll have to make one, I usually run mkinitramfs in a ubuntu arm chroot | 09:55 |
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: Ok ....I will compile the kernel all by myself and will create the zImage | 09:55 |
| === doko_ is now known as doko | ||
| abhishek___ | shadeslayer: can you please explain | 09:56 |
| shadeslayer | explain what | 09:57 |
| ogra_ | shadeslayer, update-initramfs ... never use mkinitramfs directly | 09:57 |
| abhishek___ | I usually run mkinitramfs in a ubuntu arm chroot | 09:57 |
| shadeslayer | ogra_: oh, does mkinitramfs eat kittens? | 09:58 |
| ogra_ | it misses a lot | 09:58 |
| shadeslayer | ah I see | 09:58 |
| ogra_ | its only one step in building an ubuntu initrd (update-initramfs calls it in the end) | 09:58 |
| shadeslayer | abhishek___: just debootstrap a ubuntu arm chroot | 09:58 |
| shadeslayer | and then chroot into it | 09:58 |
| shadeslayer | call update-initramfs | 09:58 |
| ogra_ | or crab an ubuntu-core tarball | 09:59 |
| ogra_ | *grab | 09:59 |
| shadeslayer | or that ^ | 09:59 |
| shadeslayer | ( must be something new, I haven't followed ARM stuff in the last 6 months :) | 09:59 |
| ogra_ | what is new ? ubuntu-core ? | 09:59 |
| ogra_ | its 3 years old or so | 09:59 |
| abhishek___ | Ubuntu core tarball can be picked from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core | 09:59 |
| shadeslayer | oh okay, first time I'm hearing of it :S | 10:00 |
| ogra_ | well, you need to fiddle with qemu-user/static if you want to chroot into it | 10:00 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : from where to pic the tarball | 10:00 |
| ogra_ | so qemu-debootstrap is probably the better choice since that does everything for you | 10:00 |
| ogra_ | abhishek___, there should be links on the wikipage | 10:01 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : can you please link the traces | 10:02 |
| ogra_ | ? | 10:02 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : I have kernel image ...compiled for my board | 10:02 |
| shadeslayer | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/13.10/release/ ? | 10:02 |
| abhishek___ | now from where to get the initramfs | 10:02 |
| ogra_ | you will likely need to rebuild it woith many android options dropped | 10:02 |
| shadeslayer | ^^ | 10:02 |
| ogra_ | you need to create a chroot or use a core tarball, chroot into it (with /sys, /dev and /proc bindmounted ... and then call update-initramfs | 10:03 |
| abhishek___ | Ok.....I have kernel image compiled for my board | 10:03 |
| shadeslayer | no you don't | 10:03 |
| shadeslayer | <ogra_> you will likely need to rebuild it woith many android options dropped | 10:04 |
| ogra_ | yes, recompile it with android dropped | 10:04 |
| abhishek___ | ok ....I will recompile with android dropped | 10:04 |
| * shadeslayer has to go, cya | 10:04 | |
| abhishek___ | ogra_: I also require the bootloader ? | 10:05 |
| ogra_ | indeed, that is what loads your kernel and initrd | 10:05 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : Android images uses fastboot\ | 10:06 |
| ogra_ | thats fine | 10:06 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : can I use that to load the Ubuntu | 10:06 |
| ogra_ | yes, you need to use abootimg to create a boot.img file from your kernel and initrd | 10:06 |
| ogra_ | that one you can feed to fastboot | 10:07 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : So, I have kernel image (fresly compiled for my board) and Ubuntu core tarball .....I will pack those to create boot.img image | 10:08 |
| ogra_ | no | 10:08 |
| ogra_ | you need to create an initrd first | 10:08 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : How to create initrd ? | 10:08 |
| ogra_ | a) compile the kernel with a config that works under ubuntu | 10:08 |
| ogra_ | b) create an initrd.img | 10:08 |
| abhishek___ | ok | 10:08 |
| ogra_ | c) create a boot.img using abootimg | 10:08 |
| abhishek___ | how to create initrd.img | 10:09 |
| ogra_ | d) flash the boot.img to the right place so fastboot will find it | 10:09 |
| ogra_ | e) put the ubuntu-core tarball in place so the initrd can find it and boot into it | 10:09 |
| ogra_ | abhishek___, that was explained to you a few times now | 10:10 |
| ogra_ | (how to create an initrd) | 10:10 |
| ogra_ | for more details please look at documentation of the different tools | 10:10 |
| abhishek___ | initrd.img using update-initramfs ??? | 10:11 |
| abhishek___ | If I flash the boot.img in the boot sector (using: fastboot flash boot boot.img) ..... | 10:12 |
| hrw | ogra_: ubuntu used cavium model for arm64 work? | 10:12 |
| ogra_ | hrw, no idea | 10:13 |
| ogra_ | hrw, ask infinity | 10:13 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : I also require the recovery.img, system.img images ... | 10:13 |
| hrw | ogra_: mkey, thanks | 10:13 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : will I am able to boot the board into ubuntu desktop using the steps explained by you? ....I think I also require the recovery.img and system.img image .....is it not required? | 10:15 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : you gave me step "e) put the ubuntu-core tarball in place so the initrd can find it and boot into it" | 10:16 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : Please tell me .....I am new to this activity ? | 10:17 |
| ogra_ | abhishek___, why do you care for e) before even having done a) ? | 10:23 |
| ogra_ | (which might take you days anyway) | 10:23 |
| ogra_ | expect that you need to read a lot of documentation and dont expect to be dont within a week or two if you havent done this before ... this is not a beginner task and will require you a lot of time and learning | 10:24 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : I have read on the web that if Android boot.img is wrong ...then it will boot from the recovery image ....... | 10:25 |
| ogra_ | yes, thats what the bootloader might do ... depends on how the vendor created it | 10:25 |
| ogra_ | but recovery or system or all the other android stuff is unrelated | 10:26 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : so, if i flash the ubuntu boot.img in the boot sector and boot the board ...then Android will boot from the recovery image ....and then again i will be in Android | 10:26 |
| ogra_ | so make sure to have a working boot.img | 10:26 |
| ogra_ | try to find out whats wrong using the right android debugging tools and fix that | 10:27 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : My problem is ...I don't have uboot (standard bootloader) ... | 10:27 |
| ogra_ | you dont need uboot | 10:27 |
| ogra_ | just create a proper boot.img | 10:27 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : So, I don't require bootloader (u-boot) | 10:27 |
| ogra_ | you have a bootloader already | 10:27 |
| abhishek___ | If I am able to create the correct boot.img ....then I am able to boot the uBuntu on it ? | 10:28 |
| abhishek___ | ok .....what abt the GUI ? | 10:28 |
| ogra_ | stop juping that far ahead, lets talk in one or two weeks about GUIs ... get it booting first | 10:29 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : can you please give me your email-id ?? .......I will try to follow the steps as mentioned by you .....and will ask you for further suggestions ..... | 10:29 |
| abhishek___ | ok ...... | 10:29 |
| ogra_ | if you have questions it is better to use th eubuntu-devel mailing list, i'll answer there | 10:30 |
| abhishek___ | ok ... | 10:30 |
| abhishek___ | ogra_ : thanks for your help ..... | 10:31 |
