[06:31] <regum> hello
[06:31] <regum> how can I boot into the command line? All I can find on the internet uses grub, which I don't have
[09:10] <regum> is there any way to run gstreamer on ubuntu 14 arm?
[09:20] <ogra_> sure
[09:21] <regum> how? I can't seem to find any packages for it
[09:21] <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))
[09:22] <regum> oh really? I tried apt-get install gstreamer
[09:22] <regum> and it didn't work
[09:24] <regum> do 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 match
[09:24] <regum> ok thanks ogra_
[09:24] <regum> I'll try that when I get home
[12:13] <Langley> Help, how do I set boot parameters in Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 2
[12:15] <ogra_> flexiondotorg, ^^^
[12:16]  * ogra_ has no clue how the bootloader is set up on the mate images
[12:17] <Langley> I think I found something... there's HDMI stuff configured in /boot/config.txt
[12:18] <ogra_> if it just uses the binary blob for bootin, then yes, config.txt and cmdline.txt are the files
[12:20] <flexiondotorg> Langley, edit /boot/config.txt and/or /boot/cmdline.txt
[12:20] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, In Ubuntu MATE 15.04 the Raspberry Pi 2 image used a real kernel.
[12:20] <Langley> It didn't do any difference... I'll try some more
[12:21] <flexiondotorg> But for Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for Raspberry Pi 2 I'm using the "kernel" and firmware from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
[12:21] <flexiondotorg> Langley, What is it your want to do?
[12:22] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, That came about because I went a Raspberry Jam at the weekend.
[12:22] <ogra_> flexiondotorg, whats a "real kernel" ? :)
[12:22] <Langley> It's for a TV that doesn't report supported resolutions, so I want it to force 1920x1080 on startup
[12:22] <flexiondotorg> And 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] <flexiondotorg> But the feedback was. Loved the Ubuntu archive. Loved MATE. But didn't like that it was different to Raspbian for hacking.
[12:23] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, So I'm making 15.10 more Raspbian like.
[12:23] <ogra_> good luck with that
[12:23] <flexiondotorg> By real kernel I mean compiled from source, with meta packages for headers etc.
[12:23] <flexiondotorg> Not the blob from the foundation.
[12:24] <ogra_> we use an archive kernel with headers and tools from the archive ;)
[12:24] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, 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"
[12:25] <ogra_> i guess you'll get problems getting the bootloader into the archive in some way that you can consume it in official image builds
[12:25] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, The Raspberry Pi community want to be able to use rpi-update to automatically grab the latest kernel and blobs.
[12:25] <flexiondotorg> So, I've added support for that.
[12:25] <ogra_> ugh
[12:25] <flexiondotorg> It is working very well.
[12:25] <ogra_> sure, but forget about "official" builds then
[12:25] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, Yep.
[12:25] <flexiondotorg> They weren't official anyway.
[12:25] <ogra_> well, the snappy ones are
[12:26] <flexiondotorg> They are build with ~500 line of bash on one of my laptops ;-)
[12:26] <ogra_> and will likely soon get support for graphical bits
[12:26] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, Yeah, my plan is to work on a snappy version.
[12:26] <ogra_> cool :)
[12:26] <flexiondotorg> ogra_, And keep this build for the makers.
[12:27]  * ogra_ thinks snappy is raher more for "makers" (i.e. robot and embedded builders) 
[12:28] <flexiondotorg> Langley, Well you should be editing /boot/firmware/config.txt to tweak the video options.
[12:33] <Langley> Wait so it's another file? Not /boot/config.txt ?
[12:37] <Langley> flexiondotorg: ??
[12:38] <flexiondotorg> Langley, They are linked. I overlay mounted. I forget which.
[12:40] <Langley> Okay.... Well I don't understand anything now. It looks like I forgot to uncomment all the stuff I made, yet it still... broke it
[12:41] <Langley> I'll try again
[13:44] <Langley> Allright 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??
[15:14] <regum> hello everyone
[15:15] <regum> I  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?
[15:18] <genii> regum: Possibly relevant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi
[15:19] <regum> genii, that's where I got the image
[15:21] <genii> regum: If you follow the instructions there, step by step, you should be fine
[15:21] <regum> I'm fine, but I end up with a permanent gui
[15:21] <regum> I don't want that
[15:27] <genii> regum: 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) ?
[15:28] <regum> i needed lubuntu
[15:28] <regum> no worries though, I seem to have figured it out
[15:29] <regum> if you're interested, adding 'single' to the kernel parameters did it
[15:36] <genii> ..but that drops you to root...
[15:50] <zirpu> regnum you can turn off X11 startup, instead of going to single-user mode.
[15:53] <zirpu> usually it's something like 'lightdm'.  so easiest way to disable:  sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled
[15:53] <zirpu> then reboot.  should startup in console mode.
[16:02] <genii> zirpu: They left a while ago now, but may return after they discover the system isn't entering runlevels 2 through 5
[21:06] <regum> hello everyone
[21:07] <regum> when I turn a raspberry on, it boots to a root user
[21:07] <regum> it refuses my ssh connection until i log in as a user
[21:07] <regum> how can I make it so that i don't have to do this?
[21:40] <infinity> regum: "boots to a root user"?  If it's a proper ubuntu install, it should boot to a login prompt.
[21:40] <infinity> regum: If you're getting a shell, it's probably a recovery shell that is asking you to fsck your filesystem.
[21:41] <infinity> regum: Which, indeed, won't have multiuser capabilities like SSH started.
[21:41] <k1l_> infinity: single user mode does boot directly into root
[21:41] <k1l_> its like recovery
[21:41] <infinity> k1l_: Right, same same.
[21:42] <k1l_> ah wait. we sorted that already in #ubuntu. he missed the solutions and remarks when he quit to fast
[21:42] <infinity> regum_2: Did the other regum see all my messages? :P
[21:43] <regum_2> I don't know who the other regum is, I thought noone would have this username
[21:43] <regum_2> oh well
[21:43] <infinity> The other regum was you. :P
[21:43] <regum_2> not any more
[21:43] <regum_2> apparently
[21:44] <regum_2> it wouldn't have pushed me into regum_2 if regum wan't taken, would it?
[21:44] <regum_2> I'm new to irc, sorry
[21:44] <infinity> regum_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] <infinity> regum_2: Yes, it was taken, by you.   And then you timed out.
[21:44] <infinity> 15:42 -!- regum_2 [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-arm
[21:44] <infinity> 15:42 -!- regum [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 255
[21:44] <regum_2> well that's kinda weird
[21:45] <regum_2> I 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_2> I disabled the 'single' and run this:
[21:45] <regum_2> sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled
[21:45] <regum_2> it works like a charm
[21:45] <regum_2> oh yeah, I might have done that
[21:45] <k1l_> if you have a registered nick on freenode you can "ghost " that old connection and make you use your nick again
[21:45] <regum_2> didn't know that would happen though
[21:45] <regum_2> sorry
[21:46] <regum_2> well, tomorrow I'll log in as regum?
[21:46] <regum_2> it's  fine then
[22:15] <ogra_> hmm, he could have just replaced "single" with "text" .... would have saved him from moving the lightdm job around
[22:16] <k1l_> told him that already in #ubuntu but he didnt wanted it to change back then.
[22:18] <ogra_> ah well, whatever helps him :)
