[00:00] <cwillu_at_work> seems to be proceeding though
[00:00] <rcn-ee> yeap, that's normal inside the machine.. it's weird..
[00:01] <cwillu_at_work> amusingly, my server has already caught up with the beagle
[00:01] <cwillu_at_work> the beagle's been running 6 hours
[00:01] <rcn-ee> i'm tempted to ask for your package list for comparisson...  I'm slowly untarring 1Gig onto a sd card...
[00:02] <cwillu_at_work> I'm not using sata drives :p
[00:04] <cwillu_at_work> re: btrfs, the annoying thing is that there's a tonne of features which are going to be easy to implement, but very few _have_ been implemented yet
[00:04] <cwillu_at_work> basically the answer to every cool question is "not yet"
[00:04] <cwillu_at_work> separate raid levels per folder/file?  not yet
[00:04] <rcn-ee> even so, it looks interesting..
[00:04] <cwillu_at_work> online scrubbing?  not yet (although you can fake it from userspace)
[00:04] <cwillu_at_work> oh, absolutely
[00:05] <cwillu_at_work> it's only very recently that you could actually delete snapshots :)
[00:05] <cwillu_at_work> hence why I didn't think about it until I already started:  been using it 9 months on this box, and it's only been possible to delete in the last month :)
[00:06] <cwillu_at_work> honestly, you should start hanging out in #btrfs;  the visibility will help, and you'll pumped hearing about it :)
[00:07] <cwillu_at_work> "cwillu: hey, if I saw ubuntu/canonical devs in here I'd be all for it."
[00:08] <cwillu_at_work> "but from what I see, it'd be a bunch of uninform
[00:08] <cwillu_at_work> ed n00bs in here complaining about how btrfs broke their systems and us telling
[00:08] <cwillu_at_work> people to update and no updates put into any ubuntu kernels
[00:08] <cwillu_at_work> "
[00:08] <cwillu_at_work> this is an image problem that could be solved very easily :)
[00:09] <rcn-ee> those groups of people are always fun to deal with.. ;)
[00:09] <cwillu_at_work> the people in question are quite nice actually :p
[00:10] <cwillu_at_work> oh, _that_ group
[00:10] <cwillu_at_work> the guy who said that spent a couple hours with me updating the btrfs wiki with debian/ubuntu instructions to update btrfs via dkms (which is currently the only recommended way of using btrfs)
[00:11] <cwillu_at_work> update btrfs from git via dkms, rather
[00:12] <rcn-ee> dkms makes sense if your using a normal supported ubuntu kernel....  quick updates...
[00:12] <DanaG> Now we just need dkms for powervr. =þ
[00:13] <rcn-ee> we need mimotrace for arm... ;) then reverse engineer the suckker...; )
[00:13] <persia> From what i heard at UDS, we ought be able to do something with DKMS+jockey for powerVR for OMAP.
[00:13] <DanaG> Hallelujah.
[00:13] <persia> Also, DKMS should work for *any* kernel, as long as one packages the kernel and installs the headers, etc.
[00:13] <DanaG> Since the TI build script is just a miserable failure.
[00:14] <rcn-ee> well the TI SGX bits are gpl.. (i've just recently add those modules into my dev tree 2.6.34's..) it's the binary blob libGL and loader that's the problem..
[00:14] <rcn-ee> (kernel modules bits)
[00:14] <DanaG> I'm also curious how GL ES works... and if I could use it on Radeon KMS.
[00:15] <persia> Right.  The loader would be the bit that would be DKMS, and the binary blob would be handled by jockey.  The analogy that I heard at the OMAP session at UDS was to how nVidia works on x86 (assuming no nouveau)
[00:15] <rcn-ee> i think we can... but i don't know if r300g is hocked up to the egles bits.. (both are in mesa0
[00:15] <persia> DanaG: GL ES is just a subset of GL.
[00:15] <rcn-ee> actually the loader doesn't need DKMS.. just a binary deb ...
[00:15] <persia> So anything that supports GL automatically supports GL ES
[00:15] <DanaG> My hardware is RV635, to be specific.
[00:15] <DanaG> hmm, I wonder if fglrx would support it on bare console.
[00:15] <cwillu_at_work> persia, did they say anything about how to acquire the binaries in the first place though?
[00:16] <persia> rcn-ee: Well, except it's hard to distribute raw binaries :)
[00:16] <cwillu_at_work> persia, the typical process involves sending a request to ti with a corporate email address purporting to be doing oem design work
[00:16] <persia> cwillu_at_work: No.  If we can find some that are licensed appropriately, we can toss them in multiverse, which would seem the least painful solution to me.
[00:17] <cwillu_at_work> that's a pretty big if
[00:17] <rcn-ee> yeah.. specially with TI's export license...  the key thing, if the gpl modules are built with the kernel, then all you need is the loader/libGL which don't need gcc to build..
[00:17] <DanaG> persia: something that would work: a script like fwcutter.
[00:17] <persia> Well, there were folks from TI at the session, and they seemed interested in making it work.  I'm not sure how far anyone will get.
[00:17] <DanaG> Feed it the x86 .run.
[00:17] <persia> DanaG: How do you mean?
[00:17] <cwillu_at_work> DanaG, fwcutter is an option because you have the right to have the binary you're cutting from
[00:18] <cwillu_at_work> that isn't the case here
[00:18] <DanaG> I mean a bit more manual, though.
[00:18] <DanaG> Have people download from TI, then feed it to a script.
[00:18] <cwillu_at_work> or rather, finding a binary where it _is_ the case is the tricky part
[00:18] <persia> If TI can post it for anyone to download, TI can probably allow it to be in Multiverse.
[00:18] <rcn-ee> or we got to talk ti into makeing a arm based *.bin loader.. ;)
[00:18] <rcn-ee> instead of the pure x86..
[00:19] <persia> I think the issue is that TI is constrained (it's not actually a TI part, just bolted into a TI part)
[00:19] <rcn-ee> (the binary they distrubt that contains all the junk)
[00:19] <cwillu_at_work> yes, that's exactly the problem
[00:19] <rcn-ee> yeap, and that's the same problem intel (pousble) and freescale have...
[00:19] <cwillu_at_work> they licenced the powervr core, just like they licenced the arm core
[00:19] <cwillu_at_work> and the powervr core's terms are fairly onerous
[00:20] <rcn-ee> i've also heard from rumours, mali isn't much better.. so there really isn't a good one yet..
[00:21] <persia> Well, the solution for other architectures has often been to expose a bus and make it someone else's problem :)
[00:22] <DanaG> I wonder how similar gma500 and this SGX are....
[00:22] <DanaG> it'd be amusing if the GL code were exactly the same, except for target architecture.
[00:22]  * rcn-ee chears come on oem-config.... you can load!
[00:23] <rcn-ee> the arch between the cores according to wikipedia looks similar...
[00:23] <cwillu_at_work> perhaps everyone's favourite space tourist should buy a redistributable licence :p
[00:23] <persia> From rumours I've heard, PSB is the reference SGX implementation.  Dunno how true this is.
[00:24] <DanaG> I'd rather have a radeon.
[00:24] <DanaG> ARM + Radeon would be fun.
[00:24] <persia> cwillu_at_work: May not be possible, really.  Some of this stuff is so many levels deep in restrictions that it would take years for the legal work, even if everyone wanted it to happen yesterday.
[00:24]  * cwillu_at_work inquires about the possibility of adding a pci-e port to the beagle-xl :p
[00:24] <rcn-ee> i'm tempted to get one of those mini-pci express to pci express adapter do that that once my tegra 2 comes...
[00:25] <persia> DanaG: You can do that with the MVL Orions (but not with Ubuntu, as that's ARMv5).  They have PCIe.
[00:25] <DanaG> hmm, is there yet an armv7l marvell?
[00:25] <cwillu_at_work> more importantly, is there a multithreaded dpkg yet?
[00:25] <rcn-ee> the armanda's i haven't seen any reference designs yet wit pci x.. but they will be coming...
[00:25] <cwillu_at_work> image building is fast enough that I can get impatient with it :)
[00:25] <persia> DanaG: Not that I've heard about in retail.  There's a "dove" kernel in the archive.
[00:26] <DanaG> PCIe, rather.
[00:26] <DanaG> "X" is that old long server PCI thingy.
[00:26] <DanaG> "extended".
[00:26] <persia> 128 bit, wasn't it?
[00:26] <persia> Or, rather, isn't it (still available on some boards)
[00:26] <rcn-ee> yeah and 3.3volt signaling... yuck.. pain in the rear on my server...
[00:28] <persia> Well, pre multi-lane PCIe, it was better than what else was available :)
[00:29] <rcn-ee> i'm just annoyed, as it the only slot aviable on my 1U, and all i can get is network/pata/sata boards....
[00:30]  * rcn-ee calling it good, starts a slow 305Mb xfce demo image upload to rcn-ee.net... ;)
[00:31]  * cwillu_at_work starts downloading kernels from rcn-ee.net in a loop
[00:31]  * rcn-ee hopes cwillu_at_work doesn't find the upload point and kill his cable modem...
[00:32]  * rcn-ee 3hours.... i'll be using wget -c for this..
[00:35] <rcn-ee> cwillu_at_work, say with 2.6.34 have you run into this? http://pastebin.com/iqAHMVD4
[00:36] <cwillu_at_work> on reboot?
[00:36] <rcn-ee> only occurs say after 10minues uptime, and then issuing a reboot...
[00:36] <cwillu_at_work> I haven't, but I can't say I've been exercising that codepath
[00:36] <rcn-ee> i know it happens on beagles... does the overo suffer the same fate?
[00:37] <rcn-ee> it's actually happening on all mine... including ones in a headless setup..
[00:37] <rcn-ee> i've pinged linux-omap, but not that may people have jumped to 2.6.34 yet either.. ;)
[00:38] <cwillu_at_work> haven't noticed it, but I haven't been doing a whole lot with the overo's in the last two weeks either
[00:38] <cwillu_at_work> the zippy's came in, and I've been doing those sd burn tests
[00:41] <rcn-ee> noob question, how to get the network-manager thing to show up in xfce on the bottom. ;)
[00:41] <cwillu_at_work> nm-applet
[00:42] <cwillu_at_work> geez, I've run this 3 times with the chroot in the time it took the original beagle to get to the point that the first chroot died (at which point it also died)
[00:43] <cwillu_at_work> taking into account that the beagle had a 6 hour head start
[00:43] <rcn-ee> i think the beagle lost.. kill it..
[00:43] <cwillu_at_work> quite
[00:43] <persia> Emulation isn't always this much faster.  It really depends on the RAM requirements for the build.
[00:43] <rcn-ee> yay, nm-applet runs, it doesn't like to run by default..
[00:43] <cwillu_at_work> I know
[00:43] <persia> If you compare 1000 iterations of a simple hello.c compile, it's about the same.
[00:43] <cwillu_at_work> I'm very very io bound
[00:44] <persia> Heh.
[00:44] <cwillu_at_work> and doing it in ram is very very much faster than doing on an sd card
[00:44] <cwillu_at_work> it's funny though
[00:44] <persia> rcn-ee: if you've not tried it before, #xubuntu is also a good place to ask XFCE questions
[00:45] <cwillu_at_work> I've been tripping over that code for a while now, never bothered to actually try it :)
[00:45] <cwillu_at_work> granted that in my case, it still would've been doing lots from a normal vm anyway
[00:45] <cwillu_at_work> but I might have wised up
[00:46] <rcn-ee> yeah, i should, i'm starting to use xfce alot on the beagle..... ;) i've gone from providing just console image to full blown xfce images... give the people what they want.. ;)
[00:48] <DanaG> I found xfce not worth the bother... by the time I got it the way I liked it, I might as well have used gnome.
[00:49] <persia> If you're going that deep, #xubuntu-devel may be of interest, but from what I've heard, Xubuntu isn't quite as optimised for low-spec machines as it was in the past.
[00:50] <cwillu_at_work> nope
[00:50] <persia> (where Xubuntu is XFCE+everything to make it the way folks like it)
[00:50] <rcn-ee> gnome... i did that once on a beagle Bx...  Debian Lenny kinda like watching paint dry... but i got firefox up and took a pic..
[00:51] <cwillu_at_work> rcn-ee, my ui is actually built entirely on firefox :p
[00:52] <rcn-ee> nice.. it's actually not that bad on Karmic/Lucid.. but on lenny with armv4 unoptimzation... ;)
[00:52] <cwillu_at_work> heh
[00:52] <rcn-ee> i do really like the speed of chrome on arm thou...
[00:52] <cwillu_at_work> it wouldn't have had the neon accelerated routines in libpixman either
[00:52] <cwillu_at_work> that makes a huge difference

[01:09] <cwillu_at_work> I want to reboot the thing every ten minutes, and bring it back up right away, but I also don't want to pay more than 7.95 to do it

[01:26] <Martyn> I've started on the long, tedious process of finding duplicated symbols in the arm tree
[01:26] <Martyn> It's going to be like zapping flies .. killing them one at a time until all the ARM architectures can be compiled in at the same time
[01:27] <Martyn> (making a stupidly large, but VALID kernel)
[01:29] <rcn-ee> sounds like fun!  Martyn is your current git tree public?
[01:31] <Martyn> rcn-ee : No, I need to github the work as it goes along
[01:31] <Martyn> i'll do that this weekend.  This is _literally_ the first night I've started to work on what I promised to do @ UDS
[01:31] <Martyn> I just cloned the linux-arm kernel tree at 2.6.34 current
[01:32] <rcn-ee> well you've been busy, sounded like uds was crazy for arm.. ;)  i'm mostly asking, cause my tegra 2 is to arrive tomorrow or saturday..
[01:33] <Martyn> ( I have an even higher priority task to do  . I need to get a basic patchset to add the arch/arm/mach-sstone subarch before the 2.6.35 window closes )

[09:31] <cooloney> asac: for 10.07, it will be .33 first
[09:32] <asac> cooloney: first? so in the end .07 gest .34 too?
[09:36] <amitk> asac: 10.07 will always be .33
[09:36] <asac> kk
[09:36] <cooloney> the patch from ti are based on .33
[09:37] <asac> right
[09:37] <asac> i was talking aobut maverick
[09:37] <asac> so does that mean until we have 10.07 maverick stays on whatever we are using for .07?
[09:37] <amitk> 10.10 will be .35 finally, and we'll make available .34 kernels in the meanwhile
[09:37] <amitk> asac: no, they are separate kernel trees
[09:38] <cooloney> mattieu will work on M kernel for omap3/omap4 mainline
[09:38] <amitk> cooloney: I'm working on it, will be available early next week
[09:39] <cooloney> i will work on M kernel branch for omap4 patch dump
[09:39] <cooloney> amitk: great, so please talk with mattieu
[09:39] <cooloney> he is going to take a look at that
[09:39] <amitk> sure
[09:39] <cooloney> thanks

[09:53] <ndec> amitk: cooloney: we will provide .34 patches for M release
[09:53] <zyga> guys - how likely is it to have a single kernel for >1 device by 10.10?
[09:53] <asac> hi ndec
[09:54] <ndec> asac: hi
[09:54] <zyga> s/more than >1 device/devices from >1 vendor/
[09:54] <asac> >1 vendor? quite unlikely
[09:54] <cooloney> ndec: thanks, hah
[09:54] <asac> but you never know :)
[09:55] <cooloney> ndec: oh, one question
[09:55] <ndec> cooloney: yup
[09:55] <cooloney> ndec: i got this in the dmesg
[09:55] <cooloney> 'Uninitialized omap_chip, please fix!'
[09:55] <zyga> asac, would it be possible to have a bunch of kernels on one 'image' and have uboot guess/choose the right one?
[09:55] <amitk> ndec: but you'll also upgrade it to .35 as we go, right?
[09:55] <cooloney> did you guys see that?
[09:56] <zyga> so that the 'impression' of getting integrated image is better than what we have today
[09:56] <ndec> amitk: yes we will do that as well. basically our BSP team follow mainline dev.
[09:57] <ndec> amitk: so we get regularly BSP rebase on latest mainline. we will need to discuss how we manage our out-of-tree patches for M releases.
[09:57] <hrw> cooloney: on a9 only or also on a8?
[09:58] <amitk> ndec: ok, then we are on the same page :)
[09:58] <cooloney> hrw: actually, i don't have hw, ogra_cmpc tested that on his blaze
[09:58] <ndec> cooloney: i need to check. right now it's not in my dmesg buffer, so I will try to reboot when I am done with my builds
[09:58] <asac> zyga: you can have a bunch of kernels on the image and uboot selecting one .... the problem is that we cant have a single uboot for all boards
[09:58] <hrw> cooloney: not have it on BB
[09:59] <cooloney> it should be omap4430
[09:59] <cooloney> dual a9
[09:59] <hrw> cooloney: so blaze or panda - both are rather TI only (+few protos sent outside)
[09:59] <zyga> asac, if the vendor would ship a boot loader that compatible with our boot requirements we might be able to pre-hint it with the right kernel to choose (that would only make sense if the vendors were interested in following this idea)\
[10:00] <ndec> amitk: the only tricky part is between now and july since we want an updated kernel for L and M releases ;-)
[10:00] <cooloney> hrw: exactly, i am just trying do some development based on the dmesg from ogra who has that hw
[10:01] <hrw> cooloney: 374 void __init omap2_check_revision(void) in arch/arm/mach-omap2/id.c
[10:01] <asac> zyga: its difficult. not all boards can have a uboot preinstalled in flash (e.g. some dont have nand etc.)
[10:01] <cooloney> hrw: yeah, that is it.
[10:01] <hrw> cooloney: looks like it did not found it as 4430
[10:01] <ndec> zygal: at least for omap, we are definetely interested in a single kernel image that supports all our boards. but this is tricky for now.
[10:02] <cooloney> hrw: https://pastebin.canonical.com/32503/
[10:02] <asac> so there is more than just that. maybe if all would use disk/u-boot.bin.ARCH or something if they find that on mmc it would work
[10:02] <cooloney> hrw: but except that error message, others are looks good
[10:02] <cooloney> so weird
[10:02] <hrw> cooloney: I saw that dmesg before
[10:02] <zyga> asac, as long as arch is not arm-linux-eabi ;-)
[10:02] <asac> but thats not that simple either. i think for the time being we need to accept tht we need different boot parts
[10:03] <asac> and work on tools so you can more easily combine our filesystems with whatever boot things you need
[10:04] <zyga> asac, your last comment is actually very true - a simple program that would download common filesystem image and combine that with whatever device kernel/boot requirements you may need would be good for early-adopters
[10:04] <cooloney> hrw: ah, enjoy that. hah
[10:04] <ndec> cooloney: I can't access your pastebin with my launchpad account. is that expected?
[10:05] <zyga> (with boot instructions/device pictures so that even most inexperienced early adopters/tinkers will get it right each time...)
[10:05] <persia> cooloney: If it's not confidential, please use paste.ubuntu.com :)
[10:05]  * zyga stops daydreaming ...
[10:06] <persia> zyga: If you want a longer-term daydream, imagine devices shipping with a uboot that does the right thing already in flash, so that we just ship a kernel and it magically works :)
[10:06] <zyga> persia, yes, that would be.... just like current PCs *g*
[10:06] <zyga> (with less crap on screen)
[10:07] <ndec> persia: a longer longer-term daydream would be a device that boots without the bootloader ;-)
[10:08] <persia> ndec: Depends on semantic values.  My defintion of "bootloader" is "The thing that loads a kernel".  I've no objection to it being in ROM, but I'll probably still call it a bootloader.  I do have an objection to putting a kernel in ROM.
[10:08] <zyga> persia, very true
[10:09] <cooloney> persia: ndec sorry, actually, it was posted by ogra_cmpc
[10:09] <asac> zyga: yep. thats the setup-sdcard.sh script atm. ... could be improved though
[10:09] <zyga> persia, the really bad thing that I would hate is a bunch of devices shipping with bootloaders that load a signed kernel which cannot be changed ...
[10:09] <amitk> cooloney: use pastebin.ubuntu.com
[10:09] <ndec> cooloney: persia: no problem. i didn't know you had a private pastebin as well...
[10:12] <ndec> asac: persia: can you confirm that if I create a new ubuntu package (for PPA upload), the right version number should be: my-pkg-0.1.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1? do you recommend that I put the -0ubuntu1 suffix?
[10:12] <persia> zyga: signed kernels are good.  Not being able to configure the keyset is bad.  Note that we currently distribute signed kernels in Ubuntu, and refuse to write them to flash if they aren't signed (although there are massive manual workarounds to let users do whatever they like)/
[10:13] <persia> ndec: My recommendation is my-pkg (0.1.2-0ppa1)
[10:13] <cooloney> ndec: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/437200/
[10:13] <asac> ndec: your version number looks sane imo ...what persia said is also ok
[10:13] <persia> ndec: If the package *already* had an Ubuntu suffix, I'd suggest 0.1.2-3ubuntu4+ppa5
[10:13] <asac> if the package isnt in debian the ubuntu1 suffix isnt needed
[10:14] <ndec> persia: I am talking about new TI packages that aren't in debian or ubuntu already
[10:14] <persia> If/when it gets uploaded to Ubuntu, it will end up being 0.1.2-0ubuntu1, but it's safer to avoid messing with that for PPA versions, to give more flexibility.
[10:15] <ndec> asac: so the 0ubuntu suffix will be needed if we ever put our packages in main/multiverse?
[10:15] <asac> persia: ppa1 is good too ;) ...
[10:15] <ogra> well, i'd actually like to pull in everything we can as early as possible into maverick
[10:15] <asac> ndec: yeah ... unless you upload to debian
[10:15] <persia> ndec: For new packages, I generally use -0persia1 : it's been pointed out that I can do this because of how my nick sorts, so I recommend others use -0ppa1 to achieve the same goals.
[10:15] <ogra> so using the -0ubuntu1 suffix should be preferred
[10:16] <persia> the suffix is not "needed".  It's just the conventional notation to indicate how the package got into Ubuntu.
[10:16] <ogra> i didnt say its needed but its more consistent
[10:16] <asac> ndec: in short ... your version number was perfectly fine ... will upgrade to ubuntu1 plain ... you can also use 0ubuntu0+ppa1 instead f 0ubuntu1~ppa1 ;)
[10:16] <persia> But, if the convention is followed, -0ubuntu1 should only be used for the revision that is actually uploaded to Ubuntu, and all prior versions should sort lower.
[10:16] <ogra> asac, ++
[10:16] <asac> persia: the suffix is needed to avoid syncs from debian if someone sabotages you and uploads the same package name there
[10:17] <ogra> right
[10:17] <persia> I'm kinda curious where the ~ recommendation came from.  I thought I changed all the LP docs to suggest +
[10:17] <asac> if you upload to debian all is fine
[10:17] <ndec> I am looking for the *right* thing to do. looks like my initial proposal was ok, right?
[10:17] <persia> asac: no it isn't, but it does make that easier.
[10:17] <asac> persia: i am still in favour of that. its a matter what you are doing ... improvements to last version -> +xxx ... working on new version -> +1~xxx
[10:18]  * persia fails to see a useful semantic distinction between improving the old revision and working on a new revision, but has little interest in debating the specifics :)
[10:18] <ndec> persia: i use ~ppa1 for my initial attempts.. i want my first official package to be 0ubuntu1+ppa1, but for all my initial attempts I am using ~ppa1 until i have something I am happy with
[10:18] <asac> persia: its a matter of guts feeling ;)
[10:18] <ogra> ndec, pastebin-> sorry i'm not sure about how much i'm allowed to make public about the blaze yet so i usually use the protected pastebin
[10:19] <persia> ndec: In short, you can use any version you like.  For an ideal end-user upgrade experience from PPA to Ubuntu, be sure to use something that dpkg --check-versions believes is lower than -0ubuntu1
[10:19] <ogra> (and i usually dont paste the url in public channels :P )
[10:19] <asac> ndec: 0ubuntu1+ppa1 would be wrong ... as that wouldnt upgrade to 0ubuntu1 which would be that goes to the real archive ;)
[10:20] <asac> just use 0ubuntu0+ppa1, ppa2, ppa3 (even if 3 is final) ... or 0ubuntu1~ppa1, ppa2, ppa3 ...
[10:20] <ogra> right
[10:20] <asac> both would move towards a 0ubuntu1 for the real archive
[10:20] <cooloney> ogra: morning,
[10:20] <ogra> in maverick we'll just use -0ubuntu1 then
[10:20] <ogra> hey cooloney
[10:20]  * persia thinks -0ppa1 is easier to type than -0ubuntu0+ppa1 :)
[10:21] <ogra> ndec, go with asac's suggestion
[10:21] <cooloney> i replied one email for you and prepared a new kernel with omap serial built-in for testing
[10:21] <ogra> cooloney, great, will test soon
[10:22] <ogra> i wonder how that works since the early messages seem to go to ttyS* by default
[10:23] <ndec> asac: persia: ogra: thanks. I will continue with what I have, e.g. tisyslink-lib_0.24.5-0ubuntu1~ppa1, and I won't use the +ppa1 unless I want to override the main archive...
[10:24] <ndec> ogra: blaze is public platform. its BSP is also on public trees. so all is fine.
[10:24] <ogra> cool
[10:25] <ogra> i'll use the public pastebin from now on :)
[10:25] <ogra> i'm always a bit over-anxious with that stuff :)
[10:26] <ndec> ogra: are you able to boot a ubuntu image on blaze?
[10:26] <ogra> sure
[10:26] <ogra> its my main build platform now :)
[10:26] <lag> which chroot do we use for building arm kernels? *-amd64 or *-i386
[10:26] <cooloney> ogra: oh, build platform, native building
[10:27] <ogra> lag, -armel
[10:27] <ogra> cooloney, indeed
[10:27] <ndec> ogra: same for me. this is actually quite cool...
[10:27] <ogra> i'm currently working on x-loader and u-boot for the blaze
[10:27] <lag> ogra: Doesn't exist on emerald?
[10:27] <ogra> its a bit painful that the x-loader tree links hard into the u-boot tree for all the headers
[10:27] <ogra> lag, whats emerald ?
[10:28] <ogra> kernel porter box ?
[10:28] <lag> ogra: I thought you were going to say that :)
[10:28] <lag> apw: --^
[10:28] <ndec> ogra: i know... but we will soon get rid of xloader anyways...
[10:28] <persia> lag: Probably not.  People who use that server were surprised that they work at UDS.
[10:28] <ogra> ndec, indeed, but currently i need it so i need to somehow build it :)
[10:28] <hrw> ndec: so bootrom -> uboot-from-sd?
[10:29] <hrw> or even s/uboot/whatever
[10:29] <lag> persia: What do you mean?
[10:29] <ogra> hrw, http://omappedia.org/wiki/E-MMC_boot see the bottom
[10:29] <ndec> hrw: yes. we can append a small header to bootloader with EMIF config. ROM code parses header, configures DDR, and then loads uboot from SD (or NAND, or eMMC) in to DDR. so no more xloader
[10:30] <persia> lag: At the end of the schroot+LXC session there was a demo of running an -armel chroot on an amd64 machine, which was the first time some of the present kernel folk had seen that.
[10:30] <ndec> hrw: there is a limitation today with OMAP4, that will be fixed in next silicon rev.
[10:31] <hrw> I love that 'next silicon rev' part ;D
[10:31] <asac> lol
[10:31] <lag> Ah, I see
[10:31] <lag> I have already done it, but I can't remember which chroot I used
[10:31] <lag> I thought it was amd64
[10:31] <ndec> persia: armel chroot on x86 machine: can we build any armel packages this way?
[10:32] <hrw> I own atmel board with CPU rev.A which mean "boot only from dataflash". rev.B boards (which are most of sold ones iirc) can boot from dataflash or nandflash. the funny part is that dataflash is provided as mmccard
[10:32] <ogra> ndec, you can but note that its not faster than using qemu VMs ... compiler is as slow as emulated
[10:32] <ogra> the only thing you speed up is all the surrounding stuff
[10:32] <ndec> ogra: ok.. so I will continue to use my board.
[10:32] <ogra> yeah
[10:33]  * ogra loves to be able to use make -j2 :)
[10:33] <persia> ndec: No, but you can build most of them.  I've never had a build succeed in that environment that didn't also succeed on the buildds, but I've had some fail.  Anything that relies on a real /proc tends to break, so mono definitely won't work.  Some parrot stuff doesn't work right, etc.  There are also some missing syscalls, so some other stuff doesn't work.
[10:33]  * ogra thought we had all syscalls after the last release
[10:34] <ogra> there are some missing ioctl calls though
[10:34] <persia> ogra: I thought we had all the syscalls that we knew broke builds we'd tested, rather than having done a formal evaluation of all possible syscalls, but you may be right.
[10:35] <ogra> well, i havent seen any "unsupported syscall" message in 6 months
[10:35] <ndec> ogra: i can't sign my packages on the board since I am mount my rootfs over NFS. and my $HOME is not on a secure location. so I don't want to put my keys there. can I sign the .dsc and .deb afterwards after copying them on my laptop?
[10:36] <ogra> yes, you should be able to use debsign or just unpack the tree on your x86 and use dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa
[10:36] <persia> ndec: `debsign -r` lets you sign anythng you can scp from and to.  man debsign for details.
[10:36] <persia> To save on warning messages, I always use `debuild ... -us -uc` when building something for debsign -r
[10:36]  * ogra often uses the latter as an additional control point that the source package builds right on other arches
[10:37] <ndec> persia: ogra: ok, I will try that. btw, I am using dput over scp to copy the *.changes, that works great.
[10:37] <ogra> cool
[10:37] <ogra> i never tried that
[10:39] <ndec> ogra: we setup an internal debian archive, so that we can apt-get install our early packages (without launchpad). so we build .dsc and .deb on boards, and update the debian archive with dput!
[10:39] <ogra> sweet
[10:40] <ndec> ogra: I realized that when you build with 'debuild' the .changes file tracks the .deb, so dput will also upload the .deb
[10:40] <ogra> yeah
[10:40] <ogra> wont work with the real archive though :) it only accepts sources
[10:40] <ogra> i think debian allows binary uploads though
[10:41] <persia> ndec: I'll strongly recommend you don't do that.  We chose to use source-only uploads in Ubuntu for several reasons, not least of which is that you can end up with problems rebuilding a package because of stuff that is installed in your local machine when using debuild to construct a .deb
[10:41] <persia> ogra: Rather, Debian requires binary uploads, supposedly as proof that the source is known to build somewhere.
[10:42] <ndec> persia: i am not talking about a production system here. i need to be able to share .deb within the teams so that anyone can apt-get install TI stuff. so the workflow is: 1) I build source and bin package on my board, 2) dput to the archives, 3) any user can use my .deb.... this is cool for early dev.
[10:43] <persia> ndec: I understand.  I still recommend you use sbuild or pbuilder to do that.  This will produce an armel.changes file which you can also dput.
[10:44] <persia> The problem is that if you end up having something odd on your machine that isn't listed in the control fields, you may end up with a different .deb than you expect, or it may work for you when testing, but then not work for anyone else later.
[10:44] <persia> This doesn't always happen, but these are examples of the sorts of issues that have been encountered with that type of workflow.
[10:45] <persia> (and avoiding these issues is part of why sbuild and pbuilder are available in the archives)
[10:46] <ndec> persia: you mean running sbuild on the OMAP4 board, to make sure that my control fine has all the proper deps?
[10:46] <persia> Precisely.
[10:46] <ndec> persia: what are the diffs between sbuild and pbuilder?
[10:47] <persia> Completely independent development histories, and different ways to add hook scripts, modify the internals, etc.
[10:47] <persia> Both attempt to replicate what is considered an ideal build environment, and so do almost precisely the same thing.
[10:48] <persia> I personally use sbuild.  I know lots of folks that use pbuilder.  My recommendation is always to use the one that seems least confusing (although I'm only able to help people setup/use sbuild on schroot)
[11:05] <cooloney> ogra: does that ttyO2 ~test4 kernel work on your side?
[11:22] <ogra> cooloney, still garbage
[11:23] <ogra> oh, wait i used O0 not O2
[11:23] <ogra> cooloney, any FYI it boots through, i get a login prompt on the LCD
[11:25] <ogra> cooloney, works :D
[11:29] <ogra> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS blaze ttyO2
[11:29] <ogra> blaze login:
[11:29] <ogra> :)
[11:29] <ogra> cooloney, so now we only need to get rid of the "omap_hwmod:" messages and we should be roughly fine
[11:30] <ogra> ndec, do you have an idea why we get all the spam ?
[11:30] <ogra> massive amounts of omap_hwmod: lines are put out ... according to the prefix <7> its loglevel 7 but if i change it it doesnt change behavior
[11:31] <ndec> ogra; do you have these traces in serial console or in dmesg?
[11:31] <ogra> everywhere
[11:32] <ogra> and it goes on to spill to console after boot
omap_hwmod: i2c1: enabling
omap_hwmod: i2c1: idling
[11:32] <ogra> thats what i see after boot in dmesg and console
[11:32] <ndec> ogra: i don't have them in serial console. but I am not using same kernel as yours. probably something wrong with the config of cooloney's kernel
[11:32] <ogra> during boot it points to different devices
[11:33] <ogra> well, its the omap4 config merged with the ubuntu config
[11:33] <ogra> something seems to clash there
[11:33] <ogra> ndec, also are you able to run git clone with your kernel ?
[11:34] <ogra> for me it fails and afterwards nearly everything starts to segfault
[11:34] <ndec> ogra: nope... i think i mentioned that to you on irc a few weeks back
[11:34] <ogra> ah, k
[11:34] <ogra> robclark said he heard someone found a fix for it
[11:34] <ndec> ogra: i have the same problem. I installed an older version of git (1.6.5) which works.
[11:35] <ogra> right
[11:35] <ogra> rob told me the same
[11:35] <ndec> ogra: i think this is just a rumor of a fix... i haven't seen anything..
[11:35] <cooloney> ndec and ogra, i am working on killing omap_hwmod
[11:35] <cooloney> omap_hwmod message
[11:35] <ogra> cooloney, perfect
[11:35] <ogra> ndec, and rebooting seems to fail for me
[11:36] <ndec> cooloney: ok... please don't kill omap_hwmod ;-)
[11:36] <ogra> not sure thats known already
[11:36] <cooloney> ogra: but still don't have any idea.
[11:36] <ndec> ogra: known issue as well. and you must reboot after git clone fails.
[11:36] <cooloney> ndec: eheh, indeed. that's our rumtime PM, right
[11:36] <ogra> ndec, heh, yeah :)
[11:39] <ndec> cooloney: amitk: by the way, CONFIG_ARM_THUMB should be checked in config/enforce for 10.04 and above... it's a strong requirement.
[11:41] <ndec> cooloney: in arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap_hwmod.c you have #define DEBUG at b/o file. that should be the problem, no?
[11:41] <hrw> asac: http://hrw.pastebin.com/ucXSuQU0
[11:43] <ndec> hrw: this looks sweet...
[11:43] <hrw> pure sh
[11:43] <ogra> hrw, urgh
[11:43] <ogra> use case !
[11:43] <ndec> hrw: still sweet ;-)
[11:43] <cooloney> ndec: ok, we enable it in our ARM.
[11:44] <cooloney> but not in enforce.
[11:44] <ndec> ogra: no more need for ttySx.conf files
[11:44] <cooloney> i will post a patch
[11:44] <ndec> ogra: the script detect your console args from bootargs and create the correct getty
[11:44] <hrw> ARM_THUMB is a thing which should be always enabled in kernel (on 920t and above)
[11:44] <ogra> for x in $(cat /proc/cmdline); do
[11:44] <ogra>     case $x in
[11:44] <ogra>         console=*)

[11:44] <ogra> exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ${tty} vt100
[11:44] <ogra> EOF
[11:45] <ogra> ndec, hrw ^^^
[11:45] <amitk> cooloney: you can have arch specific enforce. we should add it to our enfore
[11:45] <hrw> ogra: what if my board has 57600 serial only?
[11:45] <hrw> ogra: but I like your ver
[11:45] <cooloney> ndec: found that DEBUG macro. there
[11:45] <ogra> hrw, add a nested case that catches the speed :)
[11:45] <cooloney> ndec: let me remove it and build the kernel again.
[11:45] <ogra> hrw, its just a quick hack, needs test code etc
[11:45] <cooloney> ndec: but i think it is the same in omapzoom git tree
[11:46] <cooloney> amitk: right, i found most of the omap enforce are the same as our common enforce
[11:46] <cooloney> .master enforce
[11:46] <ndec> cooloney: yes. i have all traces in dmesg but not in console. what are your bootargs?
[11:46] <ogra> hrw, note that my code lives rather in initramfs for a proper upstart script you need the right upstart script commands
[11:47] <asac> hrw: your script looks good
[11:47] <ogra> hrw, though when scripting, try to rather use case than if its several times faster
[11:47] <asac> have you tried it with a few options?
[11:47] <asac> ogra: we dont want to patch existing ttys
[11:47] <asac> its really just creating the right tty on the fly
[11:48] <asac> for non casper boots
[11:48] <ogra> asac, yes thats what my script does, you just need some test for ttyS
[11:48] <ogra> thats why i said above its a quick hack :)
[11:48] <ogra> by default nothing ships ttyS scripts
[11:48] <cooloney> ndec: i don't have hardware, so i don't change any bootargs,
[11:49] <cooloney> ogra: ^^^^
[11:49] <asac> hrw:  can you use ogras approach and clean that up a bit ... so it parses the number etc
[11:49] <asac> hrw: or are you happy with your current approach?
[11:49] <hrw> http://hrw.pastebin.com/CuT5AM1z is a bit cleaner
[11:49] <asac> hrw: also remember to use autologinroot there as the login
[11:49] <ogra> ndec, root=UUID=bc59dc33-8403-4fbd-84a6-ddf0c760b25a ro quiet console=ttyO2,115200n8 vram=12M omapfb.vram=0:5M,1:5M fixrtc
[11:50] <ndec> asac: autologinroot?
[11:50] <hrw> one thing to handle left
[11:50]  * ogra needs to feed the cats else they will eat *me*
[11:50] <hrw> cmdline="console=tty1 console=ttyS2"
[11:51] <asac> hrw: we should ignore ttyX if /etc/init/ttyX.conf exists
[11:51] <hrw> asac: thats next to add
[11:51] <asac> right
[11:53] <asac> ndec: thats an auto login as root thing. for a minimal image
[11:53] <cooloney> ogra: ok, after you feed your cats, you will get a new kernel to test
[11:54] <asac> is console=/dev/ttyXXX also valid?
[11:54] <asac> i think so
[11:55] <asac> hrw: in that case remember to strip the /dev/ or so in your script
[11:57] <hrw> ok
[11:58] <ndec> cooloney: you need to revert 2d60cfb9010470ce5b172513c907091ad30be34e, http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=integration/kernel-omap4.git;a=commit;h=2d60cfb9010470ce5b172513c907091ad30be34e. i will check why this ended up in our tree...
[12:02] <ogra> asac, i dont think its valid
[12:03] <ogra> cooloney, i'm back (surrounded by burping cats now :) )
[12:03] <asac> ogra: kk
[12:27] <ogra> ndec, bah, the hole for HDMI on the blaze case needs to be bigger, i have about 10 HDMI cables of different size here, not a single one fits through the hole in the case !
[12:30] <ogra> oh, silly me its micro HDMI
[12:31]  * ogra gets the right cable
[12:33] <cooloney> ogra: pls try my ~test5 kernel in the same URL
[12:33]  * ogra wgets
[12:34] <cooloney> Which revert the DEBUG macros
[12:39] <ogra> cooloney, ndec, http://paste.ubuntu.com/437259/ \o/
[12:40] <ndec> ogra: cool
[12:40] <jussi> ogra: lol
[12:44] <ogra> hmm, i wonder whyt happens if i dont set the vram options
[12:45] <ogra> i think we should really set proper defaults in the kernel so we only need the cmdline option to override them
[13:13] <hrw> asac: what handle autologinroot?
[13:18] <hrw> current version of service has 48 lines, handles /dev/ttyS2 and ttyS2, uses cases, checks for services
[13:18] <hrw> http://hrw.pastebin.com/4VZGsknt
[13:20]  * ogra bets line executing 15 is slower than just keeping line 17 alone
[13:20] <ogra> *executing line 15
[13:21] <hrw> right
[13:21] <ogra> also does upstart like exit 0 ?
[13:21] <hrw> I took it from other init script
[13:21] <ogra> ah, k
[13:21] <ogra> i wasnt sure about that
[13:55] <ogra> hrw, how about that one :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/437306/
[13:56] <ogra> (indeed without the echo around the getty call)
[13:57] <hrw> ;)
[13:57] <hrw> ogra: http://hrw.pastebin.com/XAvmFiA8 landed in package
[13:58] <ogra> yup
[13:58] <hrw> but yes - I like your version
[13:58] <hrw> and it does not work on many ARM boards
[13:58] <hrw> ttyAM0 ttyAMA0
[13:58] <ogra> why is that ?
[13:58] <hrw> ttySAC0
[13:58] <ogra> oh, right
[13:59] <hrw> but case: tty([0-9]+) {} should take care
[13:59] <ogra> should rather be tty[A-Z]*) in the case
[14:00] <hrw> or that
[15:13] <asac> ogra: what was the hint that told ubiquity on a live cd what packages not to include in the install?
[15:14] <asac> ah ... thats ./binary/casper/filesystem.manifest-desktop
[15:48] <hrw> prpplague: hi
[16:01] <prpplague> hrw: hey bud
[16:02] <hrw> prpplague: any rumours when pandaboard will hit market?
[16:02] <prpplague> hrw: yea, but i'm not if the info can be released
[16:02] <prpplague> i'll ask about that
[16:46] <hrw> http://www.flickr.com/photos/hrwandil/4506971517
[16:49] <robclark> hrw: any plans for what sw / UI to be running on that?  Remote control?
[16:49] <hrw> robclark: for now it is just machine for live-helper and other such things
[16:50] <hrw> robclark: I planned to make beagleboard tv but so far did not get good working wifi
[16:50] <robclark> ahh
[16:50] <ogra_cmpc> hrw, with the ubuntu kernel ?
[16:51] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: previous was with 2.6.32 from ti-psp
[16:51] <ogra_cmpc> ah
[16:51] <ogra_cmpc> i yet have to find a usb wlan stick that doesnt work on ubuntu
[16:52] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: tplink  TL-WN721N?
[16:52] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: it is 802.11n, needs ath9k_htc driver
[16:53] <hrw> FATAL: Module ath9k_htc not found.
[16:54] <ogra_cmpc> grmbl
[16:54] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: FATAL: Module ath9k_htc not found.
[16:54] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: it is in wireless tree
[16:54] <ogra_cmpc> weird
[16:55] <hrw> http://hrw.pastebin.com/hDCp05fH - known?
[16:55] <ogra_cmpc> all USB wifi drivers should be enabled in out omap kernel
[16:55] <ogra_cmpc> if not thats a bug
[16:55] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: all existing in mainline, yes
[16:56] <rcn-ee> hrw, we got a thread on linux-omap about dss/core.c:323! ... no fixes yet..
[16:56] <ogra_cmpc> hrw, trying to shut down the board while DPMS is active ?
[16:56] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: no just "reboot" command
[16:57] <ogra_cmpc> i only get that if the screen is off
[16:57] <ogra_cmpc> as long as its on it reboots fine
[16:57] <hrw> ogra_cmpc: I do not checked does lcd is on or off
[16:57] <hrw> probably off as I do all over serial+ssh
[16:57] <ogra_cmpc> so imho its a DPMS vs DSS2 issue
[16:57] <ogra_cmpc> right
[16:58] <ogra_cmpc> we have a bug about it open somewhere
[16:59] <rcn-ee> bug 563650... still occurs with 2.6.34 + dss2 next...

[16:59] <ogra_cmpc> bah rcn-ee beats me :P
[16:59] <rcn-ee> it's one i'm playing source wise with right now.. ;)
[16:59] <ogra_cmpc> nice !
[17:00] <hrw> ok, rt2570 and rt3070 refuse to work
[17:00] <hrw> rt3072
[17:01] <hrw> rt2570 gets connected/disconnected and loop
[17:02] <ogra_cmpc> do you have linux-firmware installed ?
[17:03] <hrw> yes, firmwares exists
[17:03] <hrw> anyway end of day for me
[17:03] <ogra_cmpc> hmm, make sure to file bugs for all of them
[17:03] <hrw> have a nice weekend
[17:03] <hrw> will
[17:04] <ogra_cmpc> you too
[18:29] <Cosmo`> hi chaps, anyone got any experience running Ubuntu on the Beagleboard?
[18:30] <ogra_cmpc> Cosmo`, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Beagle
[18:30] <Cosmo`> thanks ogra_cmpc, i've actually already got it up and running via the netinstall
[18:30] <Cosmo`> which is actually really good
[18:31] <Cosmo`> but i'm experiencing some strange behaviour
[18:33] <Cosmo`> (i am still working out exactly what's going on bear with me for half hour ;) )
[18:40] <Cosmo`> it seems that whenever i do anything intensive over the USB the whole thing just trashes itself
[18:40] <Cosmo`> the USB hub powers down
[18:40] <ogra_cmpc> you should always use a powered hub with a beagle
[18:40] <Cosmo`> i am
[18:40] <Cosmo`> however ... i have an idea
[18:40] <Cosmo`> one sec
[18:40] <ogra_cmpc> what board revision is that ?
[18:41] <Cosmo`> C3 i think
[18:41] <ogra_cmpc> hmm
[18:41] <ogra_cmpc> i havent seen issues like that with the C4, not sure about the C3, rcn-ee might know about that rev
[18:41] <rcn-ee> (jumps back in)... Cosmo` is this over ehci?  there is a known issue with load on C2/3's..
[18:41] <ogra_cmpc> heh
[18:41] <rcn-ee> (hence the C4 ehci power redesign)
[18:42] <Cosmo`> if i'm honest
[18:42] <Cosmo`> i have no idea
[18:42] <rcn-ee> it's labeled.. next to the usb 2.0 (ehci) connector... ;)
[18:42] <Cosmo`> no i mean i know it's C3
[18:43] <Cosmo`> but i don't whether it's over ehci
[18:43] <Cosmo`> hmm
[18:44] <Cosmo`> i think this MIGHT be the problem
[18:44] <Cosmo`> one sec
[18:44] <rcn-ee> oh sorry... the OTG port (little one next to the 5.0volt) is usually called "MUSB" and the regular usb 2.0 port is called "EHCI" mostly becuase it doesn't support old Usb1/1.1.. (ehci only)
[18:45] <rcn-ee> there is a cap mod listed in the beagleboard forums, but most people just use the MUSB port by default on C2/3's...
[18:45] <Cosmo`> hmm, not seeing anything that says EHCI
[18:46] <Cosmo`> interesting
[18:46] <ogra_cmpc> the std. sized USB socket is ehci
[18:46] <Cosmo`> i tried powering from the USB OTG just then from my PC and not from the hub
[18:46] <Cosmo`> same issue
[18:46] <Cosmo`> however
[18:46] <Cosmo`> it gets rid of alot of the weird USB errors i was having
[18:46] <rcn-ee> Cosmo`, http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#EHCI talks about the hardware issue..
[18:46] <Cosmo`> right, thanks let me take a look
[18:47]  * rcn-ee goes back to beer and grillin.. ;)
[18:47] <Cosmo`> ok, that certainly looks plausible
[18:47] <Cosmo`> doh, now i need to get one of those special OTG connectors
[18:48] <Cosmo`> is there any way you can force it in software to be a host without using one of the special connectors?
[18:49] <ogra_cmpc> a power supply should hlep too, no?
[18:49] <Cosmo`> yep, i will need to use one if i am using the USB OTG as a host
[18:49] <Cosmo`> at the moment i am powering it from the USB OTG, but i can run back up to the lab and get a power supply
[20:14] <Cosmo`> hmm
[20:14] <Cosmo`> there's an aggrevating lack of places to buy USB OTG cables in the UK
[20:17] <rcn-ee> yeah they've always been hard to find...  you can find them at cell phone stores for nokia phones... look like: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&site=US&KeyWords=10-00003-ND
[20:18] <rcn-ee> or if you have an atmel avr8/32 development kit, they usually throw one in their too...
[20:19] <Cosmo`> well rcn-ee
[20:19] <Cosmo`> do you know if i can just force the port into host mode in software?
[20:20] <rcn-ee> yeah it's just a config option, you you'll have to rebuild...
[20:21] <Cosmo`> because i don't see why i couldn't just use a Mini-B to USB
[20:21] <Cosmo`> and plug it into a powered hub
[20:21] <Cosmo`> would that work?
[20:21] <rcn-ee> yeah it would work.. as long as you jumper the two pins on the beagle..
[20:21] <Cosmo`> oh, so it cannot be done without hardware modification then?
[20:21] <Cosmo`> as i can't modify this board
[20:21] <rcn-ee> you can either do a software change (config in kernel) or hardware change..
[20:22] <Cosmo`> ah, ok
[20:22] <Cosmo`> well i've got no problem with rebuilding the kernel, i'll do it that way
[20:22] <Cosmo`> the board doesn't belong to me, i've borrowed it from our research group
[20:23] <Cosmo`> is there anything special to know for the ARM kernel or can i just follow standard Ubuntu kernel compilation tutorials?
[20:23] <rcn-ee> actually as long as you don't need it at boot.. you might be able to play with: /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/*
[20:24] <rcn-ee> my Bx beagle has "cat /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode" ->a_host
[20:24] <Cosmo`> hmm ... i could try this
[20:24] <Cosmo`> i will have to go to the lab and get an adapter first though
[20:25] <rcn-ee> with everything on the otg bus, you'll need a serial cable to gain console access to bring it up..
[20:25] <Cosmo`> well i'll just plug a keyboard in on the EHCI port
[20:25] <Cosmo`> that doesn't seem to be enough to crash it all
[20:26] <Cosmo`> and i can plug it into a monitor so i can make the changes directly
[20:26] <rcn-ee> it's high bandwith devices.. usb harddrives/usb ethernet that usually casue it for mine..
[20:26] <Cosmo`> so do i just echo a_host into mode
[20:27] <rcn-ee> yeap.. do it as root.. (sudo su)
[20:27] <Cosmo`> well hold on, i'll pop to the lab and get an adapter first anyway, can't do anything without that
[20:27] <Cosmo`> be back in 20 minutes or so
[21:08] <Cosmo`> well
[21:08] <Cosmo`> great success
[21:08] <Cosmo`> let's see if i can get this working
[21:12] <Cosmo`> hmm rcn-ee ... i don't seem to be able to get permission to echo into mode in musb_hdrc
[21:13] <rcn-ee> yaep.. you have to use 'tee' or switch to root.. "sudo su" then do it..
[21:13] <Cosmo`> interesting
[21:13] <Cosmo`> not used ubuntu before
[21:13] <Cosmo`> so never had to do 'sudo su' :)
[21:14] <rcn-ee> basicly sudo echo "x" > 'y' doesn't work. ;)
[21:14] <Cosmo`> hmm ...
[21:14] <Cosmo`> i get a write error with an invalid argument when using "echo 'a_host' > mode"
[21:16] <rcn-ee> weird.. just try 'host' not sure why mine is a_host but it's what google shows
[21:17] <Cosmo`> odd
[21:17] <Cosmo`> that worked
[21:17] <Cosmo`> well
[21:17] <rcn-ee> when you read back is it host or a_host?
[21:17] <Cosmo`> it goes straight back to b_idle anyway
[21:18] <Cosmo`> it doesn't error though
[21:22] <persia> So, one should generally not `sudo su`.  In almost all cases, `sudo -s` is preferable.  For redirects, something like `cat foo | sudo tee output.file` is the common solution (only writes the file as root, and keeps the process running as non-root)
[21:23] <Cosmo`> right
[21:23] <Cosmo`> i'm used to using other distributions so typically i would usually just sudo
[21:23] <Cosmo`> and then simply su when it's needed (rarely)
[21:28] <Cosmo`> oops
[21:43] <Cosmo`> i guess you just can't do it in software on the beagleboard
[22:08] <Cosmo`> so rcn-ee, i guess the only option for software will be to recompile the kernel
[22:14] <Cosmo`> any pointers on where to look for how to do this?


[01:41] <ronnoc> anyone feel like answering a likely stupid question?
[01:42] <ronnoc> In session management it startup and shutdown one of the options is 'restore manually savred session', but it doesn't tell you how to manually save a session....any ideas how to?
[01:54] <Lynxx> how do i run windows update
[02:13] <ronnoc> Lynxx: uhh hwhat?
[02:45] <null01> oh hi
[02:55] <MichaelP> just installed the rox desktop.. but it did not show up in the login screen
[04:30] <avihay> ronnoc: I believe you save by dbus-send --dest=org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession  never really worked for me though
[06:47] <ronnoc> avihay: Thanks
[06:48] <ronnoc> A clue to the user on that screen on how to that would be most helpful. Otherwise it should be taken out.
[10:31] <lewik_> How to redirect all *.local to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:32] <ikonia> lewik_: a good way would be to not ask the same question in multiple channels
[10:33] <lewik_> ikonia:  ...  I just try to solve a problem without spam...
[10:34] <ikonia> asking in multiple channels = spam
[11:58] <tomte> hi there!
[11:58] <tomte> Which kubuntu version is the last one that has support for non-pae cpus in its kernel?

[12:08] <tomte> tsimpson: I will try that then...
[14:06] <BluesKaj> Hiya all
[14:59] <mahesh_> Hello Everyone
[15:02] <Lynxx> hi
[15:03] <mahesh_> I wanted to paste a ".php" file in to /var/www directory but I got an error "Permission denied" I do not want to login each time to root, only I want is the system should pop up the window for root password or there should be option for a program to run as root , is it possible ? I have Kubuntu  12.04 LTS and I wanted to run php programs
[15:03] <mahesh_> Could anyone help me in this?
[15:11] <mahesh_> Can anyone advice me on the issue?
[15:13] <yofel> mahesh_: you can theoretically run 'kdesudo dolphin', but be very careful then (you will still need a webserver though to view a php site)
[15:14] <yossarianuk> hi - does anyone know if /tmp has been mounted as tmpfs  and the size of /tmp = 2.5GB - is that using 2.5GB of system ram/swap
[15:15] <yofel> yossarianuk: it will at most use 2.5GB of ram/swap
[15:15] <yofel> the size just states the limit
[15:15] <yossarianuk> yofel: i did a du -hs /tmp to get the value.
[15:16] <yossarianuk> yofel: thanks btw !
[15:16] <yofel> ah, try df -h
[15:16] <yossarianuk> its showing 3.9GB
[15:16] <yossarianuk> thanks
[15:16] <yofel> size is the limit, used is what's currently being used
[15:17] <yossarianuk> this is bad some one has tried to 'optimise 'a server with only 4 GB of ram ..
[15:17] <yofel> hehe

[15:17] <FloodBotK1> mahesh_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:17] <yossarianuk> and I assume as its eating into swap the performance would be just as bad or worse than just using the disk....
[15:17] <yofel> it'll be worse
[15:18] <yossarianuk> thanks for confirming that
[15:18] <yossarianuk> someone is in trouble....
[15:18] <yossarianuk> (not serious trouble..)
[15:18] <yofel> it won't be *that* bad, but the real filesystem still has better performance then
[15:19] <yofel> it's a question of how much I/O actually goes through swap
[15:21] <yossarianuk> yofel: cheers
[15:22] <mahesh_> @<yofel> : I try kdesudo dolphin, it works but getting error : http://paste.kde.org/678476/
[15:22] <mahesh_> @<yofel> : Can you advice on this?
[15:24] <BluesKaj> mahesh_, just fyi , @ isn't required on irc , the nick is enough
[15:25] <tsimpson> mahesh_: you can just ignore those debug messages, dolphin should still work properly
[15:26] <mahesh_> yes, it works absolutly fine.
[15:28] <Guest12826> good morning, gents.  =)  it's 10:30 a.m. here in North Carolina.  how are we doing today?

[15:50] <ronalds_m> hello everyone
[15:50] <ronalds_m> why qbittorent turns off by itself in some time
[15:51] <ronalds_m> I put some torrents to seed, and when I came home it was closed
[15:55] <Guest12826> I've been using Ubuntu for 2 years now, but I just started using Kubuntu 2 weeks ago.  I am trying out both KDE irc apps at the moment and I think Konversation might be the better app.
[15:56] <ronalds_m> I'm using quassel
[15:56] <ronalds_m> on ubuntu 12.04
[15:56] <ronalds_m> with unity
[15:56] <ronalds_m> also qbittorent
[15:56] <ronalds_m> and okular
[15:56] <ronalds_m> and some other kde apps
[15:56] <bazhang> !enter | ronalds_m
[15:57] <ronalds_m> why qbittorent turns off itself, that is the magical question
[16:32] <goran> hi
[17:00] <vbgunz> Anyone know why Virtualbox 4.1.8 OSE is painfully slow and most unusable?
[17:04] <BluesKaj> vbgunz, try asking in #vbox , they might have an answer if you give them more details
[17:06] <james147> vbgunz: have you enabled visualisation support in your bois, does your cpu even support visualisation?
[17:07] <vbgunz> yes, it's enabled in my bios and my cpu supports it
[17:07] <BluesKaj> err virtulization
[17:07] <BluesKaj> most do
[17:08] <BluesKaj> BBl
[17:09] <vbgunz> I have a moderately new AMD phenom 3.2 quad core processor. I am certain it supports virtualization and my bios has it enabled
[17:09] <vbgunz> vmware player runs flawlessly fast. Almost native and in fact, I can play games in vmware that I probably even shouldn't be able to
[17:27] <murthy> hello everyone
[18:05] <george_> hello! Please help me! I can't pass login screen on Kubuntu 12.10. It says "could not start ksmserver. check your installation". How can I solve this?
[18:09] <george_> Anyone?
[18:10] <genii-around> george_: I would suggest: ctrl-alt-f1    then issue: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop         when this is done: alt-f7     and try login again
[18:11] <george_> genii-around: you mean go to advanced option, root terminal mode and do that?
[18:11] <genii-around> george_: No
[18:12] <genii-around> george_: The system boots up to a graphical login?
[18:12] <george_> genii-around: yes, but I can't pass login screen
[18:13] <genii-around> george_: So then at that graphical login screen, to follow the instructions I just gave
[18:14] <george_> genii-around: ok, I'll try that and come back to report. thanks.
[18:14] <genii-around> george_: You're welcome
[18:32] <george_> genii-around: it didn't work! :(
[18:33] <george_> genii-around: I've tried to xinit startkde too and got unable to connect to x server: connection refused.
[18:34] <george_> genii-around: I also got the following warning: no write access to &home directory (/home/george) KDE is unable to start.
[18:34] <george_> I have to fix this, I relly need to work.
[18:36] <yofel> is there any more meaningful error in your ~/.xsession-errors ?
[18:37] <george_> yofel: I guess not.
[18:37] <genii-around> george_: The permisssions thing looks like it may be the issue. Apologies on lag, I'm at work and they called me away from the computer
[18:37] <genii-around> george_: I would suggest fix permissions first: eg: sudo chown -R george: /home/george
[18:37] <yofel> george_: what did you do before this happened?
[18:38] <genii-around> Probably used sudo on something, is my guess
[18:38] <george_> genii-around: Ok. But I've already run sudo chown -R george:george /home/george and also sudo chmod -R u+w /home/george
[18:38] <murthy> yofel:  libdlna successfully build. http://paste.kde.org/678590/ . I have to go thought the log one more to confirm it. this is the new rules file http://paste.kde.org/678596/
[18:39] <genii-around> Hm
[18:39] <george_> yofel: I was trying to recover some files with TestDisk program.
[18:39] <george_> genii-around: yep.
[18:39] <yofel> murthy: wrong channel
[18:40] <murthy> oops
[18:40] <genii-around> george_: Is /home on some separate partition or disk?
[18:40] <genii-around> eg: The one which was problemmatic
[18:40] <yofel> george_: recover some files where? on / or /home?
[18:40] <genii-around> yofel: Thanks, work is calling again :/
[18:43] <george_> genii-around: no, i's not a separated partition. I was trying to recover from a flash disk.
[18:47] <george_> I really need to fix this issue. Any other ideas guys?
[18:48] <genii-around> george_: Please: sudo apt-get install pastebinit       and then: ls -l /home | pastebinit         and: mount | pastebinit        and then please give us the URLs it tells
[18:49] <genii-around> george_: I am currently back and forth from my computer, so please bear with me if I am not responding immediately
[18:49] <george_> genii-around: Ok, I'll try that.....
[19:00] <george_> genii-around: Ok, when I tried ls- l home | pastebinit, I've got a message saying that it was impossible to access file or directory, not found, and that i was trying to send an empty document,
[19:00] <george_> genii-around: The other command gave me the following url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5555949/
[19:02] <OerHeks> george_,  2x type >>   ls -l /home
[19:02] <genii-around> george_: So that would indicate either that /home does not exist, or else has no contents.
[19:02] <OerHeks> *2x typo
[19:03] <george_> genii-around: it became empty, after using TestDisk, but sudo dolphin could access it and all my data was there.
[19:04] <genii-around> george_: "/home" by itself is not where user's stuff is. It's in "/home/theirusername/"
[19:04] <george_> genii-around: Now, does the pastebin tells you something?
[19:05] <george_> genii-around: Yes, you're right.
[19:05] <genii-around> Also using sudo with dolphin is a further cause of problems....
[19:05] <yofel> what are the permissions on /home ?
[19:05] <george_> OerHeks: Don't understand what you're saying.
[19:06] <george_> yofel:look, I don't know, I've already run sudo chown - R george:george /home/george and sudo chmod -R u+w /home/george
[19:06] <genii-around> george_: The pastebin of what is mounted was un-enlightening
[19:06] <genii-around> george_: But you see, that would be not useful if /home exists but /home/george does not exist
[19:07] <george_> genii-around: Oh boy, What can I do? No, /home/george does exist
[19:07] <yofel> so what does ls -l /home say again?
[19:08] <george_> genii-around: I've got lots of text when I've run those commands, my data was appearing.
[19:08] <george_> yofel:  when I tried ls- l home | pastebinit, I've got a message saying that it was impossible to access file or directory, not found, and that i was trying to send an empty document.
[19:09] <yofel> ls -l home sure, but ls -l /home ?
[19:10] <george_> yofel: I' had to boot again and do that to know
[19:10] <george_> yofel: any other ideas before I do that?
[19:12] <genii-around> george_: I believe he is still waiting to see your result of:  ls -l /home
[19:12] <genii-around> ( with the slash in front of home )
[19:12] <yofel> hm... maybe wipe the /var/tmp/kdecache-george folder
[19:12] <yofel> the stuff in /tmp should be reset by a reboot anyway
[19:13] <george_> genii-around: ok, I'll boot again to try that.
[19:13] <george_> yofel: ok, thanks, i'll try that now...
[19:15] <yofel> meh, I should've asked him to pastebin xsession-errors while he's there
[19:19] <genii-around> I wonder if he got any error when he tried to chown -R the directory back to himself
[19:19] <genii-around> ( that he neglected to tell)
[19:22] <george_> Ok, here we go again.
[19:22] <george_> ls -l /home gives me drwxr-xr-x 84 root root 69632 Fev 22 12:28 george
[19:23] <george_> ls -l /home/george shows my folder (Desktop, Documents, etc).
[19:23] <genii-around> So how can it be that if you earlier did:   sudo chown -R george:george /home/george     ...that it gave no error?
[19:24] <genii-around> ( seeing as it's still owned by root )
[19:24] <george_> genii-around: honestly I have no idea, I don't understand those stuff, i'm a noob.
[19:25] <genii-around> george_: At any rate... please reissue the command: sudo chown -R george:george /home/george                .... and let us know if it says anything or just puts you back to command prompt
[19:26] <george_> genii-around: ok, i'll try that again... just have to boot again, oh boy.
[19:26] <genii-around> Why do you have to keep rebooting?
[19:26] <genii-around> ( or, what makes you think you need to reboot)
[19:27] <george_> genii-around: because I don't have another computer. I'm on my aging, never used, never updated windows 7 partition.
[19:28] <mr-rich> Just updated 12.04 ... how do I have the password lock screen NOT show up?
[19:28] <genii-around> george_: Ah, got it.
[19:28] <george_> genii-around: i'll try it. see you.
[19:31] <genii-around> Work, back in 4-5 minutes
[19:32] <ronalds_m> http://askubuntu.com/questions/177348/how-do-i-disable-the-screensaver-lock-in-12-04
[19:32] <ronalds_m> oh kubuntu
[19:33] <ronalds_m> probably system settings similary
[19:34] <ronalds_m> "Go to Settings > System Settings > Desktop > Screensaver
[19:34] <ronalds_m> You can turn off the screensaver here, and also disable the password lock for the screensvaer."
[19:34] <george_> genni-around: it worked! thank you, I'm using quassel, right know, what a relief, But why it didn't work before
[19:34] <mr-rich> Rephrase: How do I disable the lock screen feature in 12.0.4 latest update?
[19:35] <genii-around> george_: Most likely you forgot the / in front of "home" or some other typo... but glad to see you are back up and running. Please remember not to use sudo with graphical apps, only with command-line apps, use instead kdesudo with graphical apps
[19:36] <george_> genii-around: sure thing. However, something still is not wright.
[19:36] <george_> genii-around: Mt home folder is empty
[19:36] <george_> genii-around: but when i access via /home/george my data is there.
[19:37] <genii-around> george_: The "/home" folder does not contain anyone's data. It only contains all the directories which belong to different users. In those separate directories which belong to different users, is where their data is
[19:38] <genii-around> eg: "/home" is EVERYONE'S home, for their own directory , which in turn is where their specific things are kept
[19:39] <george_> i meant my home folder (/home/george)
[19:42] <ronalds_m> mr-rich, you mean 12.04.2?
[19:42] <ronalds_m> it's not there, then I don't know
[19:43] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: How do I check my release level?
[19:44] <ronalds_m> lsb_release -a
[19:44] <ronalds_m> in terminal
[19:44] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: yes. 12.04.2
[19:44] <ronalds_m> btw I have that also
[19:45] <ronalds_m> and I have the option
[19:45] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: disable lockscreen
[19:45] <ronalds_m> brightness
[19:45] <ronalds_m> lock
[19:45] <ronalds_m> probably
[19:45] <genii-around> george_: There are no subdirectories in /home/george like Documents and so on?
[19:45] <george_> genii-around: well, when i clicked on places at dolphin it showed an empty folder, but I've add another entry and deleted the old one, so I guess it's ok now?
[19:45] <ronalds_m> mine is translated to native, so maybe different path
[19:45] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: want to disable lockscreen password stuff ...
[19:46] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: don' t need it ...
[19:46] <ronalds_m> there is check box
[19:46] <genii-around> george_: I am unsure what you mean by "added another entry and deleted the old one"
[19:47] <ronalds_m> I think it's easy to find it
[19:47] <ronalds_m> oh wait
[19:48] <ronalds_m> I failed
[19:48] <ronalds_m> maybe it's cause there was lockscreen bug and they fixed by removing option
[19:48] <george_> genii-around: don't know if it's the same in English, please bear in mind, I'm translating from portuguese. Anyway, right click on places menu in dolphin, and add an entry (shortcut, place, whatever) pointing to /home/george, like the old one that was pointing to the same folder, but showed an empty one.
[19:49] <ronalds_m> but lock is there
[19:50] <ronalds_m> probably ask this question on ubuntu channel
[19:50] <ronalds_m> kubuntu is you know for kde and kubuntu mr-rich
[19:51] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: yup ... I think I found something ...
[19:51] <genii-around> george_: If you open Konsole and type:  echo $PWD       what does it say?
[19:51] <george_> genii-around: /home/george     :P
[19:52]  * genii-around ponders circular symlinks
[19:53] <mr-rich> ronalds_m: found it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/172052/disabled-lockscreen-on-ubuntu-accidently-how-to-renable-it
[19:53] <george_> genii-around:  so, is everything ok now?
[19:54] <ronalds_m> good four you
[19:59] <george_> genii-around: thank you very much for you help.
[19:59] <george_> genii-around: see you.
[20:00] <genii-around> george_: I'm not sure if the problem is actually fixed, but please return if you have further issues
[20:00] <george_> genii-around: let's think positive lol.
[20:00] <george_> genii-around: ok, if I have any other issues i'll come back.
[20:01] <george_> genii-around: bye
[20:01]  * genii-around waves and goes back to work

[22:14] <nurp> whats the purpose of daily?
[22:14] <jsubl2> i am not a dev
[22:15] <nurp> pretty sure its going to end up failing anyway, are you trying to make me waste time downloading/burning a disk and doing the same fail all over again or something?
[22:15] <nurp> ;)

[22:36] <nurp> still waiting for help
[22:36] <omico> Hello there! I want to compile ultrastar-deluxe from svn, but it doesn't support current libav (libavcodec53)/ffmpeg libs. That's why I need to install an older version, like libavcodec52. What is the best way to do it? Can I e.g. download that older library from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/libavcodec-dev and install it parallel? Maybe into a separate directory and give that path
[22:36] <omico> to configure?
[22:37] <omico>  Or can I install the older ffmpeg 0.10 parallel to libav?
[22:43] <omico> no one?
[22:43] <nurp> just use vlc bro
[22:44] <nurp> my girlfriend wants me to install mint, should i do it guys?
[22:49] <nurp> im installing mint right now
[22:49] <nurp> seems less african
[22:51] <nurp> yeah what the hell does bemba have anything to do with an operating system
[22:51] <nurp> somebody please explain this
[23:08] <l3z> moin
