All I can find on the internet uses grub, which I don't have === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [09:10] is there any way to run gstreamer on ubuntu 14 arm? [09:20] sure [09:21] how? I can't seem to find any packages for it [09:21] (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] oh really? I tried apt-get install gstreamer [09:22] and it didn't work [09:24] do i have to download the sdk? [09:24] because no such package exists (doesnt on x86 either) ... try apt-cache search gstreamer to see the package names that match [09:24] ok thanks ogra_ [09:24] I'll try that when I get home [12:13] Help, how do I set boot parameters in Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 2 [12:15] flexiondotorg, ^^^ [12:16] * ogra_ has no clue how the bootloader is set up on the mate images [12:17] I think I found something... there's HDMI stuff configured in /boot/config.txt [12:18] if it just uses the binary blob for bootin, then yes, config.txt and cmdline.txt are the files [12:20] Langley, edit /boot/config.txt and/or /boot/cmdline.txt [12:20] ogra_, In Ubuntu MATE 15.04 the Raspberry Pi 2 image used a real kernel. [12:20] It didn't do any difference... I'll try some more [12:21] But for Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for Raspberry Pi 2 I'm using the "kernel" and firmware from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. [12:21] Langley, What is it your want to do? [12:22] ogra_, That came about because I went a Raspberry Jam at the weekend. [12:22] flexiondotorg, whats a "real kernel" ? :) [12:22] It's for a TV that doesn't report supported resolutions, so I want it to force 1920x1080 on startup [12:22] And discovered the Ubuntu MATE was being used quite extensively. [12:22] our official images use a real kernel too ;) [12:22] i guess you mean you dont chainload uboot to then load kernel and initrd :) [12:22] But the feedback was. Loved the Ubuntu archive. Loved MATE. But didn't like that it was different to Raspbian for hacking. [12:23] ogra_, So I'm making 15.10 more Raspbian like. [12:23] good luck with that [12:23] By real kernel I mean compiled from source, with meta packages for headers etc. [12:23] Not the blob from the foundation. [12:24] we use an archive kernel with headers and tools from the archive ;) [12:24] ogra_, It's all working and I've ported a heap of utilities, libraries and applications to Ubuntu 15.10. [12:24] not sure why one or the other would be more "real" [12:25] 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] ogra_, The Raspberry Pi community want to be able to use rpi-update to automatically grab the latest kernel and blobs. === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [12:25] So, I've added support for that. [12:25] ugh [12:25] It is working very well. [12:25] sure, but forget about "official" builds then [12:25] ogra_, Yep. [12:25] They weren't official anyway. [12:25] well, the snappy ones are [12:26] They are build with ~500 line of bash on one of my laptops ;-) [12:26] and will likely soon get support for graphical bits [12:26] ogra_, Yeah, my plan is to work on a snappy version. [12:26] cool :) [12:26] 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] Langley, Well you should be editing /boot/firmware/config.txt to tweak the video options. [12:33] Wait so it's another file? Not /boot/config.txt ? === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [12:37] flexiondotorg: ?? [12:38] Langley, They are linked. I overlay mounted. I forget which. [12:40] 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] I'll try again [13:44] 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] hello everyone [15:15] 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] regum: Possibly relevant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi [15:19] genii, that's where I got the image [15:21] regum: If you follow the instructions there, step by step, you should be fine [15:21] I'm fine, but I end up with a permanent gui [15:21] I don't want that [15:27] 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] i needed lubuntu [15:28] no worries though, I seem to have figured it out [15:29] if you're interested, adding 'single' to the kernel parameters did it [15:36] ..but that drops you to root... [15:50] regnum you can turn off X11 startup, instead of going to single-user mode. [15:53] usually it's something like 'lightdm'. so easiest way to disable: sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled [15:53] then reboot. should startup in console mode. === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [16:02] zirpu: They left a while ago now, but may return after they discover the system isn't entering runlevels 2 through 5 === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === akaWolf1 is now known as akaWolf === ming is now known as Guest10359 === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [21:06] hello everyone [21:07] when I turn a raspberry on, it boots to a root user [21:07] it refuses my ssh connection until i log in as a user [21:07] how can I make it so that i don't have to do this? [21:40] regum: "boots to a root user"? If it's a proper ubuntu install, it should boot to a login prompt. [21:40] regum: If you're getting a shell, it's probably a recovery shell that is asking you to fsck your filesystem. [21:41] regum: Which, indeed, won't have multiuser capabilities like SSH started. [21:41] infinity: single user mode does boot directly into root [21:41] its like recovery [21:41] k1l_: Right, same same. [21:42] ah wait. we sorted that already in #ubuntu. he missed the solutions and remarks when he quit to fast [21:42] regum_2: Did the other regum see all my messages? :P [21:43] I don't know who the other regum is, I thought noone would have this username [21:43] oh well [21:43] The other regum was you. :P [21:43] not any more [21:43] apparently [21:44] it wouldn't have pushed me into regum_2 if regum wan't taken, would it? [21:44] I'm new to irc, sorry [21:44] 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] regum_2: Yes, it was taken, by you. And then you timed out. [21:44] 15:42 -!- regum_2 [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-arm [21:44] 15:42 -!- regum [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 255 [21:44] well that's kinda weird [21:45] I fixed it :) [21:45] 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] I disabled the 'single' and run this: [21:45] sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled [21:45] it works like a charm [21:45] oh yeah, I might have done that [21:45] if you have a registered nick on freenode you can "ghost " that old connection and make you use your nick again [21:45] didn't know that would happen though [21:45] sorry [21:46] well, tomorrow I'll log in as regum? [21:46] it's fine then [22:15] hmm, he could have just replaced "single" with "text" .... would have saved him from moving the lightdm job around [22:16] told him that already in #ubuntu but he didnt wanted it to change back then. [22:18] ah well, whatever helps him :) === alai` is now known as alai
