**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 07 02:59:59 2012 Jun 07 04:40:46 scooby doobie do... :) it's getting late again... Jun 07 04:45:58 i just followed this guide, but I cant access the ethernet on the zippy2: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Zippy2 are there any troubleshooting tips for the zippy2? Jun 07 04:57:22 Howdy! Does anyone know the appropriate thing to modify in board-am335xevm.c to set pin mux settings from the kernel for the Beaglebone? Or even, is that the correct file to modify? I've been running through these 3800 lines of code for a while and it's not jumping out at me. Jun 07 04:59:51 Particularly the UART1 RXD and TXD pins. they default to MODE 7 and I need to make them MODE 0 on boot. Jun 07 05:14:50 well done colord-sane, well done Jun 07 05:14:53 http://pastebin.com/J4AqwmHu Jun 07 05:15:27 and spin spin spin! Jun 07 05:15:30 select(1044, [8 9 11 1040], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 1 (in [1040], left {0, 999993}) Jun 07 05:15:30 select(1044, [8 9 11 1040], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 1 (in [1040], left {0, 999993}) Jun 07 05:22:33 Russ: testing context switch times? :) Jun 07 05:26:25 I ran out of disk space on that drive and colord-sane lost its mind Jun 07 05:29:36 '-sane' huh... Jun 07 05:39:03 how is it 11 almost?... Jun 07 05:40:06 you must be overclocking Jun 07 05:40:59 overdosing on caffeine maybe Jun 07 05:41:12 drinking the 128oz rockstars again? :D Jun 07 05:42:15 i'm more of Red Bull guy if do energy drinks Jun 07 05:42:34 but red bulls don't come in gigantic containers Jun 07 05:44:05 heh Jun 07 05:44:06 there is a place in SNV that sells rockstars in cans as big as the AZ ice tea cans Jun 07 05:44:11 that is what she said? Jun 07 05:45:19 :) Jun 07 05:45:51 * mranostay looks for HR bot Jun 07 05:46:45 AZ ice tea can size? why not just do bath salts at that point? ?) Jun 07 05:46:55 hehehe Jun 07 05:58:13 hmm...wonder if I can find rooster booster like that Jun 07 05:59:34 not the super stuff, the regular stuff, the super stuff tastes like crap Jun 07 06:24:16 whats EXPERT here in, Depends on: !S390 && INPUT [=y] && INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN [=y] && TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EGALAX [=y] && EXPERT Jun 07 07:41:21 does beaglebone A5 have EABI ARM or Hard Floated ABI ARM architecture? Jun 07 07:42:28 isn Jun 07 07:42:43 isn't that just a software convention for the distribution in use? Jun 07 07:44:40 I installed debian on my beaglebone. I could not figure out what architecture do I need to select on http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to search packages for it? Jun 07 07:44:59 EABI ARM or Hard Floated ABI ARM are the only arm options Jun 07 07:45:03 the architecture you installed ofcourse Jun 07 07:45:17 angs: check what version you have installed. Jun 07 07:45:30 3.2.0-psp6 Jun 07 07:45:34 uname -a might tell IIRC Jun 07 07:45:41 I manually edited .config, do I just say make uImage now? Jun 07 07:45:47 actually it wont Jun 07 07:45:48 dm8tbr: no, don't think so. Jun 07 07:45:50 I Linux omap 3.2.0-psp6 #1 Thu Mar 22 05:08:40 UTC 2012 armv7l GNU/Linux Jun 07 07:45:55 as the kernel can be whatever Jun 07 07:46:00 angs: thats a kernel version, no ABI Jun 07 07:46:08 file on a random binary should though Jun 07 07:47:23 dm8tbr: no, not even that. Jun 07 07:47:37 ok, then I'm out of random ideas :) Jun 07 07:47:54 it was something with apt. i just cant remember/google it. Jun 07 07:48:11 if I edit .config by hand after make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- myconfig_default and then make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- uImage its going to load my edits right? Jun 07 07:48:13 mhm, checking the apt config might do Jun 07 07:48:21 as there the repo should tell Jun 07 07:49:06 readelf -A /bin/sh Jun 07 07:49:59 dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH it was :) Jun 07 07:50:20 or dpkg --print-architecture likewise Jun 07 07:50:54 LetoThe2nd: what is ABI? what is the command for it? Jun 07 07:51:08 angs: told now two times. Jun 07 07:52:18 dpkg --print-architecture >> armhf Jun 07 08:10:59 hi i want use the meta-toolchain-qte in qt creator i'm build image and installed so i configure qt to import the meta-toolchain-qte and import the abi, so i create a simple test for build but when i run build qt creator said make:mainwonw.ui command not found. Jun 07 08:11:10 meta-toolchain-qte run with qt creator or not? Jun 07 08:28:24 meta-confusion Jun 07 08:29:11 aholler: ? Jun 07 08:33:32 its not complicated... i have a folder with the crosscompile library for import in qt creator and use for cross compil my application :) Jun 07 08:35:24 <_av500_> stuk_gen: I would say, you should ask your question to qt people Jun 07 08:36:52 how do you list kernel modules in android? Jun 07 08:37:16 proc/modules isnt working Jun 07 08:38:01 sh: /proc/modules: cannot execute - Permission denied Jun 07 08:40:28 <_av500_> cat /proc/modules? Jun 07 08:41:18 Hello! I'm new to BeagleBoard and Linux. I've not installed linux on desktop before. Could anyone guide me on installing linux on Beagleboard please? Jun 07 08:41:57 insert delivered sd-card, done Jun 07 08:42:59 Pertok: welcome to hell :) Jun 07 08:43:17 I didn't get any SD card, just the board. But still, I would like to try installing linux on SD. Is there any documentation/online resource for the same? Jun 07 08:43:46 Even I'd like to "install" Jun 07 08:45:20 Or any resource for porting linux on Bagleboard Jun 07 08:45:35 <_av500_> its done Jun 07 08:45:37 <_av500_> rejoice Jun 07 08:45:40 stuk_gen: Heh... is installtion difficult? Jun 07 08:45:46 use knoppix to learn linux, not a beagleboard Jun 07 08:46:01 oh is it "porting" time again? Jun 07 08:46:54 Um Jun 07 08:47:26 * LetoThe2nd sets the checkbox for "friday mode" Jun 07 08:47:53 Pertok: I started with elinux beagleboard documentation Jun 07 08:48:18 <_av500_> Pertok: http://www.circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Circuitco_Support_Wiki Jun 07 08:48:36 <_av500_> use that to flash a "factory" image first Jun 07 08:51:58 Pertok: if you know nothing about linux ..yes :) Jun 07 08:52:38 stuk_gen: Used Ubuntu recently but new to linux, yes Jun 07 08:53:07 <_av500_> Pertok: as said, start from the factory image Jun 07 08:53:21 _av500_: Yes, thanks. I was reading that page Jun 07 08:53:26 <_av500_> and/or read the beagleboard website Jun 07 08:53:32 _av500_, it works, but Im not seeing what Im looking for Jun 07 08:54:21 Borillion: that option just enables something in another module. and expert means it is always enabled if you aren't an expert Jun 07 08:54:29 Thank you Jun 07 08:55:08 thanks aholler, why can't I find this in the menuconfig ? Jun 07 08:55:16 aholler, everything is on Jun 07 08:55:19 because you aren't an expert Jun 07 08:55:53 The expansion interface of BeagleBone has two 46 pin connectors .All the pins are mux function,how to set the pin mux on the processor? Jun 07 08:55:53 how do you do that? Jun 07 08:56:48 I did add config_expert=y in .config as well as touchscreen_egalax_reverse=y but it didn't seem to get included Jun 07 09:00:29 Borillion: read the help for usb touchscreen driver Jun 07 09:01:03 um where lol? Jun 07 09:01:45 by pressing help in menuconfig Jun 07 09:02:03 it's written "< Help >" Jun 07 09:02:21 in grey with a red H Jun 07 09:02:39 on the bottom of the screen Jun 07 09:02:44 oh that help lol Jun 07 09:02:45 right side Jun 07 09:02:51 I see it :P Jun 07 09:03:03 exact steps day Jun 07 09:08:13 aholler: plz send me the codez Jun 07 09:08:31 omg thanks aholler Jun 07 09:10:02 so I save this as .config and then make uImage right? Jun 07 09:10:31 koen: just typeyou password, I will see it only as **** but you will see the codez Jun 07 09:11:16 The expansion interface of BeagleBone has two 46 pin connectors .All the pins are mux function,how to set the pin mux ? Jun 07 09:39:16 hello, anyone using ethernet over usb via cdc-ether module ? Jun 07 09:40:00 Hi all..like there dvi-d and dvi-i in dvi, are there any types in case of hdmi? and does hdmi support analog video? Jun 07 09:42:23 try #google Jun 07 09:43:18 Guest20659, simply NO. Jun 07 09:44:20 lautriv, No for both the questions? Jun 07 09:44:51 Guest20659, hdmi is digital only Jun 07 09:45:05 ok Jun 07 09:46:44 Guest20659, that has 2 major reasons, a.) because hdmi means high-definition it would be hard to get it analog over such small wires b.) analog is much more expensive. Jun 07 09:47:43 oh, toolate Jun 07 09:49:33 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=there+dvi-d+and+dvi-i+in+dvi%2C+are+there+any+types+in+case+of+hdmi%3F+and+does+hdmi+support+analog+video%3F Jun 07 09:52:17 aholler, he's gone. Jun 07 09:52:29 unusual for ntd Jun 07 09:53:08 aholler, do you sometimes use eth-over-usb ? Jun 07 09:53:36 if I need to do Jun 07 09:55:38 currently more often (for teathering) Jun 07 09:57:08 i have actually the simple problem of starting it. configured for static IP, and even cdc_ether in /etc/modules my networking don't start it on boot. i wonder what i miss there. Jun 07 10:01:00 Hi all, I've installed gnome and gdm on angstrome [on xm] and have a strange problem! gdm does not show the box for entering username and password ... Jun 07 10:01:26 I googled and found nothing around this but seems configurations are ok ... Jun 07 10:01:46 nkh, does it raise up some graphics ? Jun 07 10:01:57 by the way , what's the correct configuration files for gdm? Jun 07 10:02:48 lautriv: Yes! I see gdm itself and the computer Icon , shutdown switch in right corner , etc Jun 07 10:03:16 lautriv: but the box which I should type the user name in it is missing :D Jun 07 10:04:05 nkh, you may check how the X comes up (Xorg.0.log) maybe it's outside of your screen. Jun 07 10:04:30 I installed angstrom-task-gnome from the repo and I remmeber I had installed gdm before, I think there is something wrong with configs and permissions Jun 07 10:05:09 lautriv: mm ok but it seems all the things are in the screen! I'll take a shot now and show you what I mean Jun 07 10:07:02 maybe the gnome people decided that a password box is too complicated for normal users ;) Jun 07 10:07:08 lautriv: I'll show you the Xorg log , any other log needed? Jun 07 10:07:20 aholler: :D Jun 07 10:07:33 nkh, we will see, just start somewhere Jun 07 10:09:32 nkh, i hope this is gnome2 ? Jun 07 10:10:00 try hand waving or shouting ;) Jun 07 10:10:19 lautriv: OF COURSE ! I hate 3 even on my laptop:D Jun 07 10:10:49 nkh, #3 was the reason for me to switch to XFCE ;) Jun 07 10:11:53 * lautriv mixes something up and tries hand shouting and waving around Jun 07 10:12:02 lautriv: I'm using 3 in fallback mode with compiz 0.8 on my ARCH, like a boss , feels gnome2 :D Jun 07 10:12:27 here is my Xorg.log Jun 07 10:12:35 nkh, still bloat and javish crap. rather unproductive. Jun 07 10:12:50 or the face recognition awaits a dumb facial expression Jun 07 10:13:22 :) Jun 07 10:13:27 aholler: ******* Jun 07 10:13:30 aholler, face recognition works fine if i let my dog look there ;) Jun 07 10:13:33 yes like the one ;) Jun 07 10:13:47 try looking like homer Jun 07 10:14:54 koen: try ph0rumz Jun 07 10:18:50 lautriv: this is the log file http://paste.ubuntu.com/1028337/ Jun 07 10:20:54 nkh 1440x 900 is intended and visible ? Jun 07 10:20:58 and here are the photos http://nkhdiscovery1.persiangig.com/prj/800x600-Photo0008.jpg Jun 07 10:21:45 ok, THAT looks like a totally other problem. Jun 07 10:21:49 and this : http://nkhdiscovery1.persiangig.com/prj/800x600-Photo0009.jpg Jun 07 10:21:49 lautriv: as you see in the photos, yes :| Jun 07 10:21:59 linux-mainline_3.2 gives me gpio error messages ( http://pastebin.com/nNb2RTds ), and my gpio input events no longer work. known issue / known patch? Jun 07 10:22:21 lautriv: what do you think ? :-? Jun 07 10:22:39 nkh from what i see, it looks like your PAM has a lookup problem or some files were disowned. Jun 07 10:23:12 lautriv: hmm yep, I don'y know much about pam Jun 07 10:24:17 nkh you may do some simple checks on CLI, if you can login without gui, it's probably gdm, if not you may login as root and do some getent/id checks. Jun 07 10:26:36 lautriv: I can login on tty , and also if I put exec gnome-session in /etc/X11/Xinit , It comes up and logins graphically with root ! [ which was a question for me , when gdm starts the X, why the user which is logined graphically is the root!? I also changed and exported $USER in Xinit and had no effect ] Jun 07 10:28:39 aholler http://picbin.org/main/view/4fd08247db81042f47000002 Jun 07 10:29:19 how come it still says no on USB_EGALAX_REVERSE ? Jun 07 10:29:29 * Borillion is frustrated Jun 07 10:32:02 nkh, X does always start with root and delegates certain userland. Xinit is not part of that problem, like you saw before X gave you already a screen. just gdm can't handle the regular users, this is why i suspected PAM or some files. Jun 07 10:33:10 nkh, you may add a random user and see if something will change. Jun 07 10:33:21 lautriv: in pam.d/gdm : 4 lines like "auth required pam_unix.so" [also for account, passwd and session] and two lines like "auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so " and "session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start" Jun 07 10:33:51 lautriv: hmm good idea, let me check Jun 07 10:35:16 lautriv: Ow I froget to say another strange thing!:D Jun 07 10:36:24 you saw the photos? when I click on the text "beagleboard" , at the buttom of computer icon, it changes to "Linux 2.6.32" ! and changes to "beagleboard" with clicking again .... Jun 07 10:36:53 lautriv: what is this?! :D Jun 07 10:38:39 nkh, you can remote-login and obv. your host is detected as alternative. Jun 07 10:39:39 lautriv: sorry I dont get you:| [ my weak englishh :-< ] Jun 07 10:40:31 nkh, gdm can login on another than the local box, the 2.6.32 is probably your desktop/laptop whatever is on the network. Jun 07 10:41:09 Aw, it's not connected to any network :-? Jun 07 10:42:08 nkh, so you may have some mistakes in your general setup, what is in /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf and output of hostname -f ? Jun 07 10:42:32 lautriv: hah I figured sth new ... gdm button for restart and shutdown does not work, so the problem is with users and groups or so Jun 07 10:43:43 lautriv: is this: Jun 07 10:44:01 nkh, that goes in the same direction. the box is advised to search in a predefined order (nsswitch.conf) Jun 07 10:44:02 /etc/hosts: Jun 07 10:44:02 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Jun 07 10:44:02 /etc/resolve.conf Jun 07 10:44:12 : Jun 07 10:44:54 nameserver 192.168.1.1 Jun 07 10:45:11 lautriv: look at the interesting part! : hostname -f : (none) ! Jun 07 10:45:43 Oh no , right , > hostname : beagleboard Jun 07 10:46:06 lautriv: so what to do with nsswitch.conf? need the output ? Jun 07 10:46:48 nkh so fix the following........echo "beagleboard" >/etc/hostname add 127.0.1.1 beagleboard.localdomain beagleboard Jun 07 10:47:23 to /etc/hosts Jun 07 10:53:47 (03:18:29 PM) lautriv: to /etc/hosts Jun 07 10:53:47 (03:19:17 PM) nkh: lautriv: 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1 ? [ I do not know anyyhing related to network :D ] Jun 07 10:54:01 lautriv: seems I disconnected from here Jun 07 10:54:32 nkh, 127.0.1.1 was intended. there is 127.0.0.1 for loopback and the other for your host without external IP Jun 07 10:55:25 lautriv: Ow ok thanks, anyway, I did it and rebootes, nothing changed :| Jun 07 10:55:31 nkh, if you use network and don't own a DNS, add also the real IP in the same manner. Jun 07 10:56:33 nkh, what about some gdm.log ? Jun 07 10:58:42 lautriv: Ooow man ! why I didn't look for it before?! :| Jun 07 10:59:48 let me check it , it has errors like unable to find users : no seat-id found ... and also devkit-power-object errors and sound errors and and and .... Jun 07 10:59:50 :D Jun 07 11:00:23 nkh, unable to find users pointing to a bad lookup Jun 07 11:01:03 lautriv: and seems an error is printed in tty now, [ warning] gdm-binary Failed to acuire gnome.desktop.DisplayManager ..... Jun 07 11:01:17 nkh, reason why i suggested to add a ranom user which may fix some issues. Jun 07 11:01:51 lautriv: random means random, really? I added a new user and had no effect Jun 07 11:02:23 but I don't know any thing about random users if it's a specific kind of user ... :-?? Jun 07 11:03:39 how to enable spi in uboot...has anyone used cmd_spi.c Jun 07 11:04:59 nkh, nah, just a regular user without usage, having permissions to login, owns a shell and it's home. Jun 07 11:08:04 lautriv: hmm yea , I did and nothing changed after reboot ... Jun 07 11:08:52 nkh, if you do "id >regualruser<" on cli, do you get proper answer ? Jun 07 11:09:08 lautriv: I wonder why /etc/init.d/gdm restart or stop has no effect on the gdm! I should kill -9 `pgrep gdm` an then the mouse pointer and background are also remain ! Jun 07 11:10:27 lautriv: Oo Man , I started gdm again, and now there is a mouse and background on my tty2 [alt ctrl F2] an a gdm like before on tty3 ! :D Jun 07 11:11:29 the gdm group ID is 64009 and UID is 49 , any problem with these? :-? Jun 07 11:12:35 lautriv: Oh sorry I didn't see your last sent. , yea it works like id nkh-zhn , gives th UID and GID Jun 07 11:12:51 nkh, angstrom is much like debian and it's usual to have gdm as system-user/group Jun 07 11:13:19 which means they are usually below 500 where regular users should start with 1000 Jun 07 11:13:55 lautriv: hmm, so it's ok, id gdm says that gdm is in gdm group, only , is this ok/ Jun 07 11:14:01 ? Jun 07 11:14:14 yes, gdm has no other permissions. Jun 07 11:14:20 hmm ... Jun 07 11:15:31 nkh, maybe you pulled the drive and forgot fsck ? Jun 07 11:18:13 lautriv: !? maybe, you mean a fsck is requierd ? Jun 07 11:19:31 how about this: in 1.slave.log: Jun 07 11:19:35 nkh, i have this situation because my target has only touchscreen ( no beagle) and actually working on ethernet-over-usb. so each unsuccessful boot, i have to pull the SD due to the lack of shutdown command. Jun 07 11:20:03 unable to open session: the permission of the setuid helper is not correct Jun 07 11:20:24 lautriv: Owch . Jun 07 11:22:02 nkh, as far as i can remember gnome/gdm that 1.slave.log is gnome3 ? just in case find / -name gnome-shell should output nothing. Jun 07 11:24:24 lautriv: nothing , it's 2 I know, the log is named under /var/log/gdm as :1-slave.log Jun 07 11:24:58 gdm-simple-slave[1217]: WARNING: Unable to open .... Jun 07 11:25:24 nkh, however perms on setuid-helper is serious. Jun 07 11:26:30 lautriv: uhum, what's that ? "setuid-helper" Jun 07 11:28:11 sounds scary Jun 07 11:28:31 :-j Jun 07 11:29:26 lautriv: ok, thanks man! I'm gonna eat sth and take a rest, I'll be back and googling the warnings ... Jun 07 11:30:21 nkh, like the name suggests, some binary to help setting the UID . basically your X comes up with root-perms ( hardware-access) and certain apps were changed to the logged-in user. Jun 07 11:31:47 lautriv: hmm nice explained ... thanks :) Jun 07 11:47:43 bbl Jun 07 11:56:06 For beaglebone ,why I can't find pin mux set document, in /sys/kernel/debug/ ,I can't find any thing .How to set pin mux??? Jun 07 12:58:35 gm all Jun 07 12:58:51 morning jkridner_ Jun 07 12:58:51 hi jkridner_ Jun 07 13:04:01 jkridner_: give http://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/angstrom/beaglebone/Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.05-beaglebone-2012.06.07.img.xz a try, usb mass storage seems to work with that Jun 07 13:04:25 k. Jun 07 13:04:43 did you see the question from joelagnel Jun 07 13:06:07 I saw some rambling about building kernels in the broken SDK way, which I ignored Jun 07 13:06:24 I don't care about the SDK and it's stupid political bullshit crippling Jun 07 13:07:30 s for stupid? Jun 07 13:08:56 well, that was just one question I think :-D Jun 07 13:09:05 of the many Jun 07 13:11:53 koen: one of the things joelagnel tried to do was to follow the Angstrom setup-scripts and it still built the wrong kernel. Jun 07 13:12:52 could anyone experience with ad-hoc wlan with beaglebone suggest me a chipset or any wifi doggle model that works fine with beaglebone Jun 07 13:13:31 angs: I've only used it as infrastructure. Jun 07 13:13:38 joelagnel: are you trying the image above now? Jun 07 13:14:11 jkridner_: what chipset do you use? Jun 07 13:14:16 jkridner_, joelagnel: setup-scripts haven't built 3.2.14 by default for about a month now Jun 07 13:14:57 jkridner_, well I could, but till 20 minutes back I had fixed the issue in the software myself Jun 07 13:15:22 I will give it a run, my SD card is having errors anyway so I'll startover Jun 07 13:16:10 koen, err. so then I'm looking at the wrong recipe? https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/meta-ti/blob/master/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-ti33x-psp_3.2.bb Jun 07 13:16:25 angs: I've had success with http://www.adafruit.com/products/814 and another rtl81somethingsomething chipset. Jun 07 13:17:04 joelagnel: I don't think setup-scripts would pull from there. Jun 07 13:18:14 joelagnel: looking at https://github.com/Angstrom-distribution/setup-scripts/blob/master/sources/layers.txt Jun 07 13:18:28 it would pull from git.yoctoproject.org, not github Jun 07 13:18:41 git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-ti Jun 07 13:18:43 sure, yeah Jun 07 13:18:50 ok Jun 07 13:19:11 jkridner_ what image did u use for rtl8192cu on adafruit? Jun 07 13:19:33 it was an older image. Jun 07 13:19:50 something from around February/March, I think. Jun 07 13:20:10 thank you Jun 07 13:20:51 I know there is a USB regression we are working on fixing (mostly koen) Jun 07 13:21:03 I have the same chipset, I tried with the latest image but I could not make it work Jun 07 13:21:23 I need to use it in ad hoc mode, but connman does not support ad hoc mode Jun 07 13:21:49 jkridner_, koen, ok I thought setup-scripts pulled the latest. I'll updated my layers.txt then with the latest meta-ti rev from yocto Jun 07 13:21:51 hope that's k Jun 07 13:22:09 could you recommend me any instruction apart from http://ladyada.net/products/beaglebone/wifi.html Jun 07 13:23:23 joelagnel: just keep your setupscripts up to date and keep an eye on the meta-ti list for patches Jun 07 13:23:48 koen, ok Jun 07 13:24:11 danke Jun 07 13:51:16 download complete. SD card being written. Jun 07 14:26:04 well I got my Angstrom Build from http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/ working... created an sd card, it booted, got logged into x11 now I just have to build a boot.scr file so my display comes up at higher than 640x480 :) Jun 07 14:26:17 got lots of help from here :) so I am happy :) Jun 07 14:30:06 use uEnv.txt, boot.scr is outdated Jun 07 14:37:06 * ogra_ likes to see boot.scr as a provider for distro defaults and uEnv.txt as the users tool to override these :) Jun 07 14:37:29 at least for cases where you dont have flash Jun 07 14:38:12 just add one or two lines to u-boot and use a uDistroEnv.txt Jun 07 14:38:22 in addition to uEnv.txt Jun 07 14:38:43 those scripts are uncomfortable Jun 07 14:38:57 well, i'm to lazy to rewrite all ubuntu image generation scripts :) Jun 07 14:39:17 we'll likely keep boot.scr around and just update the docs for endusers to use uEnv.txt Jun 07 14:40:54 or put the stuff you have in boot.scr into uEnv.txt Jun 07 14:41:03 can't be that much Jun 07 14:41:27 nah, its 4 lines Jun 07 14:42:17 you could even use uenvcmd=env import -t uDistroEnv.txt ;) Jun 07 14:42:30 (in uEnv.txt) Jun 07 14:43:13 preferable with an -r, but that requires a dead patch which could be found in the ml Jun 07 14:44:12 sure, but that still means i need to hack around in the image build infrastructure Jun 07 14:44:39 and that i need to convince debian to take my changes to flash-kernel etc Jun 07 14:44:55 as long as it works as is my lazyness wins Jun 07 14:44:55 okie doke, I'll take a moment to absorb all that... :) Jun 07 14:45:35 setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 omapfb.mode=dvi:1360x768MR-16@60 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext3 rootwait' Jun 07 14:45:52 that is what I was going to put in boot.scr Jun 07 14:46:23 i can put that in the uEnv.txt instead? Jun 07 14:47:33 you need only one line in uEnv.txt: dvimode=1024x768-16@60 Jun 07 14:47:52 what aholler said Jun 07 14:48:02 or whatever you want as resolution Jun 07 14:54:30 did I really see a patch for letting perl to build with directories with 't' in them? Jun 07 14:54:39 * Crofton|irssi has been dumping email hard this week Jun 07 14:57:33 what is the difference between Y Cb Cr and Y Pb Pr signals? Jun 07 14:58:30 iirc there are some good wikipedia articles for HDMI colorspace Jun 07 15:16:28 jkridner_: do you still have usb issues? there were patches merged to meta-ti some time back... Jun 07 15:17:01 I just burned the latest SD card and will test here when this call ends. Jun 07 15:17:13 great Jun 07 15:19:58 thank you Jun 07 15:20:08 sorry working here, so doing the chat thing when I can :) Jun 07 15:20:11 so thank you :) Jun 07 15:20:20 and :) Jun 07 15:26:33 denix, jkridner_ , checked, no usb storage issues with koen's image Jun 07 15:26:54 sweet. are you trying the auto-tester now? Jun 07 15:27:05 and what is koen's image? Jun 07 15:27:49 did you get a pre-built one? Jun 07 15:41:35 denix: http://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/angstrom/beaglebone/Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.05-beaglebone-2012.06.07.img.xz Jun 07 15:43:29 ok Jun 07 15:50:16 Hello koen, I was looking for your custom images for Beagleboard ... Could you link me to that? Jun 07 15:50:45 http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ Jun 07 15:51:15 Eh Jun 07 15:51:30 Ok, thanks Jun 07 15:53:09 koen: Um, I thought you had Ubuntu custom images Jun 07 15:53:28 the Narcissus file I created was supposed to have the cool 3d graphic demos on it, ( which it does ) only none of them will run... Jun 07 15:54:19 I was hoping to show off my beagleboard xM to some folks... but when I tried to run them from Graphics menu item, (3dskull) for instance, the screen blanks out, and then the gui pops back up... Jun 07 15:54:25 but it does not run... :) Jun 07 15:55:07 is there anyting special i need to do? I thought that the narcissus did all the config for the files it creates, or is there still some tweeking... :) Jun 07 15:58:48 orated, i think you mean rcn-ee, he does the home built ubuntu images with custom kernels (the official ubuntu images only use plain mainline kernels nowadays) Jun 07 15:59:22 ogra_: Yes, I'm gonna try rcn-ee images Jun 07 16:13:34 hmm... koen, joelagnel, I have a an A3 board where I just loaded this new 06.07 image and I have no USB device detection at all. Jun 07 16:13:52 I get hub detection, but nothing else. Jun 07 16:20:24 jkridner_: hmmm, kipisz reported something similar Jun 07 16:20:40 jkridner_: It does work on the A3 and A5 boards here Jun 07 16:20:47 I have A5, I also have problem with usb Jun 07 16:21:23 dsa: this is only in reference to the 06.07 image as recent images ahead of this time have known issues. Jun 07 16:23:06 I used to have problem with wifi doggle therefore I also installed 06.07 image. I used to have green light on the wifi doggle, now it does not work although I installed the linux-firmware Jun 07 16:59:59 joelagnel: I'm looking for next steps. Are you able to reproduce any failure? Jun 07 17:01:18 plz give exact steps Jun 07 17:03:32 Use 06.07 image, insert USB device (MSC or WiFi), observe nothing via 'dmesg' or 'lsusb'. :) Jun 07 17:12:01 joelagnel: ping Jun 07 17:35:57 What's the most recent BeagleBone kernel? The one from koenkooi's github? Jun 07 17:42:52 Pulsewidth: pretty much. depends on what you mean by "most recent". it is more like "most advanced". Jun 07 17:43:12 Best hardware support Jun 07 17:43:17 it is the most recent as well, but you can probably hobble together something closer to mainline. Jun 07 17:43:41 yeah, that'd be koen's, but the one that is built by http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom Jun 07 17:43:47 That's good Jun 07 17:43:57 That works well for me, but Angstrom has some weird build system Jun 07 17:44:04 not any git tree that koen has for a straight kernel. Jun 07 17:44:07 So it's much less hassle if I can get it from a single git repo Jun 07 17:44:14 yeah, koen uses that weird build system. Jun 07 17:44:30 I understand having a single git repo is easier if all you are doing is building a kernel. Jun 07 17:44:53 unfortunately, there isn't an up-to-date single git repo that tracks that kernel. Jun 07 17:45:05 jkridner_, was out for lunch, I am working on getting the beagelbone test scripts working with the new image Jun 07 17:45:19 I don't know much about journald but koen helped me retrieve logs Jun 07 17:45:45 Pulsewidth: there is a regression in the USB host code that is currently being resolved. koen has a fix that has worked on some boards, but it isn't working on mine. Jun 07 17:46:14 I had problems with USB on Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.05-beaglebone-2012.05.09.img.xz Jun 07 17:46:20 joelagnel: any idea what info I can give you on my USB failure? seems odd that it is random which boards it fails upon. Jun 07 17:46:29 Pulsewidth: yeah, breakage happened around that time. Jun 07 17:46:29 But I updated with opkg and it's working with the latest kernel Jun 07 17:46:44 the fix was put in very recently. Jun 07 17:46:56 * jkridner_ tries opkg update, in case it wasn't in the 06.07 image. Jun 07 17:47:00 jkridner_, the fix is enabling CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND? Jun 07 17:48:27 joelagnel: is it in the 06.07 image or did you use something else? Jun 07 17:48:33 06.07 Jun 07 17:48:51 I used that one, USB works fine on A6. not random Jun 07 17:49:10 I have an A3 at home. I will try giving it a shot in a few hours Jun 07 17:49:13 BTW, opkg upgrade failed the first time because of running out of space on /tmp Jun 07 17:49:26 joelagnel: but nothing changed in the USB circuit, right? Jun 07 17:49:27 I mounted a NFS /tmp and it worked Jun 07 17:49:45 jkridner_, let me check with Gerald, I don't think so Jun 07 17:49:50 Pulsewidth: that's a good bit of advice. most people end up failing trying to do 'opkg upgrade' Jun 07 18:17:14 jkridner_: https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel Jun 07 18:17:35 as I recall, that is *not* a git tree of the kernel. Jun 07 18:18:06 19:44 < jkridner_> unfortunately, there isn't an up-to-date single git repo that tracks that kernel. Jun 07 18:18:15 it is fine and helpful, but I don't trust it relative to using Angstrom, since it has most of the same disadvantages. Jun 07 18:18:16 it's a git repo that tracks the kernel Jun 07 18:18:28 it is not 'single' Jun 07 18:18:34 it relies on external git trees. Jun 07 18:19:41 it does Jun 07 18:19:58 anything that isn't mainline relies on external git trees Jun 07 18:20:12 some git trees include all of the commits in the mainline. Jun 07 18:20:31 they still need to pull in mainline somehow Jun 07 18:20:34 some git trees have commitids that match the mainline. Jun 07 18:20:54 but they have already done it, before you clone it. Jun 07 18:21:08 it's still a dependency Jun 07 18:21:14 I really don't get why it is difficult to understand how it makes life easier for a kernel builder. Jun 07 18:21:37 I'm not saying your approach is wrong. Jun 07 18:21:42 it is just more difficult to use. Jun 07 18:21:47 but you keep bitching about it Jun 07 18:22:03 I just said it is unfortunately difficult. Jun 07 18:22:20 I used to provide git trees ready to clone Jun 07 18:22:29 that ends up in: Jun 07 18:22:34 "how do I configure it" Jun 07 18:22:49 "how do I compile it?" Jun 07 18:22:53 if you have a fork, you can include a defconfig. Jun 07 18:22:59 "I compiled it, how do I install it?" Jun 07 18:23:19 "I don't have linux, send me the codez for windows" Jun 07 18:23:33 "i downloaded it, now how do i install a cross-compiler" Jun 07 18:23:51 we've been getting hit hard on the panda stuff for newbies like that Jun 07 18:23:56 ;) Jun 07 18:24:07 if running a script that clones a tree and applies patches is too difficult, you have no business in building a kernel yourself Jun 07 18:24:18 doh. back. Jun 07 18:25:02 it does create a barrier. it is a judgment call to say who should be able to perform the task. Jun 07 18:26:08 https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel is a turing test Jun 07 18:27:06 it took me about an hour to pull together a kernel build with it. using setup-scripts and OE was more automated for me.
