regumis there any way to run gstreamer on ubuntu 14 arm?09:10
ogra_sure09:20
regumhow? I can't seem to find any packages for it09:21
ogra_(not sure what you mean by 14... but indeed, the whole ubuntu archive is available for arm (some exotic languages are missing i think))09:21
regumoh really? I tried apt-get install gstreamer09:22
regumand it didn't work09:22
regumdo i have to download the sdk?09:24
ogra_because no such package exists (doesnt on x86 either) ... try apt-cache search gstreamer to see the package names that match09:24
regumok thanks ogra_09:24
regumI'll try that when I get home09:24
LangleyHelp, how do I set boot parameters in Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 212:13
ogra_flexiondotorg, ^^^12:15
* ogra_ has no clue how the bootloader is set up on the mate images12:16
LangleyI think I found something... there's HDMI stuff configured in /boot/config.txt12:17
ogra_if it just uses the binary blob for bootin, then yes, config.txt and cmdline.txt are the files12:18
flexiondotorgLangley, edit /boot/config.txt and/or /boot/cmdline.txt12:20
flexiondotorgogra_, In Ubuntu MATE 15.04 the Raspberry Pi 2 image used a real kernel.12:20
LangleyIt didn't do any difference... I'll try some more12:20
flexiondotorgBut for Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for Raspberry Pi 2 I'm using the "kernel" and firmware from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.12:21
flexiondotorgLangley, What is it your want to do?12:21
flexiondotorgogra_, That came about because I went a Raspberry Jam at the weekend.12:22
ogra_flexiondotorg, whats a "real kernel" ? :)12:22
LangleyIt's for a TV that doesn't report supported resolutions, so I want it to force 1920x1080 on startup12:22
flexiondotorgAnd discovered the Ubuntu MATE was being used quite extensively.12:22
ogra_our official images use a real kernel too ;)12:22
ogra_i guess you mean you dont chainload uboot to then load kernel and initrd :)12:22
flexiondotorgBut the feedback was. Loved the Ubuntu archive. Loved MATE. But didn't like that it was different to Raspbian for hacking.12:22
flexiondotorgogra_, So I'm making 15.10 more Raspbian like.12:23
ogra_good luck with that12:23
flexiondotorgBy real kernel I mean compiled from source, with meta packages for headers etc.12:23
flexiondotorgNot the blob from the foundation.12:23
ogra_we use an archive kernel with headers and tools from the archive ;)12:24
flexiondotorgogra_, It's all working and I've ported a heap of utilities, libraries and applications to Ubuntu 15.10.12:24
ogra_not sure why one or the other would be more "real"12:24
ogra_i guess you'll get problems getting the bootloader into the archive in some way that you can consume it in official image builds12:25
flexiondotorgogra_, The Raspberry Pi community want to be able to use rpi-update to automatically grab the latest kernel and blobs.12:25
=== chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk
flexiondotorgSo, I've added support for that.12:25
ogra_ugh12:25
flexiondotorgIt is working very well.12:25
ogra_sure, but forget about "official" builds then12:25
flexiondotorgogra_, Yep.12:25
flexiondotorgThey weren't official anyway.12:25
ogra_well, the snappy ones are12:25
flexiondotorgThey are build with ~500 line of bash on one of my laptops ;-)12:26
ogra_and will likely soon get support for graphical bits12:26
flexiondotorgogra_, Yeah, my plan is to work on a snappy version.12:26
ogra_cool :)12:26
flexiondotorgogra_, And keep this build for the makers.12:26
* ogra_ thinks snappy is raher more for "makers" (i.e. robot and embedded builders) 12:27
flexiondotorgLangley, Well you should be editing /boot/firmware/config.txt to tweak the video options.12:28
LangleyWait so it's another file? Not /boot/config.txt ?12:33
=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun
Langleyflexiondotorg: ??12:37
flexiondotorgLangley, They are linked. I overlay mounted. I forget which.12:38
LangleyOkay.... Well I don't understand anything now. It looks like I forgot to uncomment all the stuff I made, yet it still... broke it12:40
LangleyI'll try again12:41
LangleyAllright it worked, with the resolution part. But now it turns the display off after a while, even though it is set not to in Power settings... Any ideas??13:44
regumhello everyone15:14
regumI  am trying to boot to the command line with ubuntu 14 arm running on a raspberry pi 2, how can I go about doing this?15:15
geniiregum: Possibly relevant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi15:18
regumgenii, that's where I got the image15:19
geniiregum: If you follow the instructions there, step by step, you should be fine15:21
regumI'm fine, but I end up with a permanent gui15:21
regumI don't want that15:21
geniiregum: You should have ended up with an ubuntu-minimal install, without any gui whatsoever ( if you followed the instructions properly). Or did you install one of the desktops (kubuntu, lubuntu,xubuntu, ubuntu, etc) ?15:27
regumi needed lubuntu15:28
regumno worries though, I seem to have figured it out15:28
regumif you're interested, adding 'single' to the kernel parameters did it15:29
genii..but that drops you to root...15:36
zirpuregnum you can turn off X11 startup, instead of going to single-user mode.15:50
zirpuusually it's something like 'lightdm'.  so easiest way to disable:  sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled15:53
zirputhen reboot.  should startup in console mode.15:53

regumhello everyone21:06
regumwhen I turn a raspberry on, it boots to a root user21:07
regumit refuses my ssh connection until i log in as a user21:07
regumhow can I make it so that i don't have to do this?21:07
infinityregum: "boots to a root user"?  If it's a proper ubuntu install, it should boot to a login prompt.21:40
infinityregum: If you're getting a shell, it's probably a recovery shell that is asking you to fsck your filesystem.21:40
infinityregum: Which, indeed, won't have multiuser capabilities like SSH started.21:41
k1l_infinity: single user mode does boot directly into root21:41
k1l_its like recovery21:41
infinityk1l_: Right, same same.21:41
k1l_ah wait. we sorted that already in #ubuntu. he missed the solutions and remarks when he quit to fast21:42
infinityregum_2: Did the other regum see all my messages? :P21:42
regum_2I don't know who the other regum is, I thought noone would have this username21:43
regum_2oh well21:43
infinityThe other regum was you. :P21:43
regum_2not any more21:43
regum_2apparently21:43
regum_2it wouldn't have pushed me into regum_2 if regum wan't taken, would it?21:44
regum_2I'm new to irc, sorry21:44
infinityregum_2: Anyhow, you're either booting to a recovery shell or to single user mode.  You're not in a full multiuser system at that point.21:44
infinityregum_2: Yes, it was taken, by you.   And then you timed out.21:44
infinity15:42 -!- regum_2 [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-arm21:44
infinity15:42 -!- regum [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 25521:44
regum_2well that's kinda weird21:44
regum_2I fixed it :)21:45
k1l_regum_2: on irc the old connections are kept for a bit if you reconnect your internet connection and not properly shut down the irc lcient.21:45
regum_2I disabled the 'single' and run this:21:45
regum_2sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled21:45
regum_2it works like a charm21:45
regum_2oh yeah, I might have done that21:45
k1l_if you have a registered nick on freenode you can "ghost " that old connection and make you use your nick again21:45
regum_2didn't know that would happen though21:45
regum_2sorry21:45
regum_2well, tomorrow I'll log in as regum?21:46
regum_2it's  fine then21:46
ogra_hmm, he could have just replaced "single" with "text" .... would have saved him from moving the lightdm job around22:15
k1l_told him that already in #ubuntu but he didnt wanted it to change back then.22:16
ogra_ah well, whatever helps him :)22:18
