[15:02] <wookey> suihkulokki: I can confirm you are right that missing out the --enable-uname-release in configure makes the patch for upping the reported uname version aarch64 unnecessary
[17:42] <wookey> so. If I have a saucy (arm64) system that appears to boot OK but never shows me a login prompt, what do I poke? If it was sysvinit/debian I'd look in inittab and /dev and etc/securetty
[17:42] <wookey> but upstart is highly myseterious to me
[17:42] <wookey> there is an /etc/init/tty1.conf that looks like what used to be in inittab
[17:43] <wookey> (I can boot with /bin/sh OK, or /sbin/init --verbose and watch lots of stuff go by)
[17:44] <wookey> there is no initramfs, because klibc was not ready in saucy) That may be part of the problem?
[18:36] <xnox> wookey: where do you expect the login prompt to appear and did you pass the right console= on the kernel cmdline?
[18:40] <wookey> xnox: I get console output from upstart during boot
[18:40] <wookey> (console is set to AMA0 IIRC)
[18:40] <xnox> wookey: so. it doesn't mean that that's where tty1 will be spawned.
[18:40] <wookey> ttyAMA0
[18:41] <wookey> and since putting the right earlyprintk rune in I get kernel output:
[18:41] <wookey> earlyprintk=pl011,0x1c090000
[18:41] <wookey> so I just tried running "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" manually and I see nothing
[18:41] <wookey> so I guess tty1 is going to the wrong place
[18:42] <wookey> what decides where tty1 ends up?
[18:42] <wookey> should I just change /etc/init/tty1.conf to specify ttyAMA0?
[18:42] <xnox> wookey: is ttyAMA0 a serial console?
[18:42] <xnox> wookey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto
[18:42] <wookey> yes (but in a model)
[18:43] <xnox> wookey: yeah, then you need to add a job to spawn getty there.
[18:43] <xnox> wookey: or try passing console=/dev/ttyAMA0 on kernel cmdline.
[18:43] <wookey> aha. that's what I needed to know. This even seems horribly familiar frmo about a year ago....
[18:43] <wookey> :-)
[18:46]  * wookey feels a bit dense
[19:00] <wookey> xnox: wahey. I have console. does a debootstrapped saucy have a default login?
[19:00] <wookey> root:root and ubuntu:ubuntu didn;t get me in
[19:07] <xnox> wookey: nope, no logins on default debootstrapps.
[20:57] <infinity> wookey: FWIW, apw's ubuntu-core-to-foundation model conversion script will (a) do the job for you, or (b) be some nice hints about things you'd want to do if you were doing it yourself.

[22:33] <wookey> ah yes that looks like all the stuff I did to make it work
