May 20 03:52:36 <Majost_> Joey Hess' kernel doesn't recognize the guru... and when I try to tftpboot the "official" one from plugcomputer.org, the tftpboot command crashes while loading the image into RAM
May 20 05:34:35 <bkero> Howdy folks.  I'm having a bit of a problem with my guruplug.  I've flashed the kernel from plugcomputer.org(openplug.org), and the most I get is http://pastebin.osuosl.org/32840
May 20 05:43:49 <Majost_> bkero, hey
May 20 05:44:02 <Majost_> looks like your stuck in my position as well
May 20 05:44:11 <Majost_> I have been bricked like that for days
May 20 05:44:12 <Majost_> heh
May 20 05:44:51 <Majost_> Im about to try building a kernel from source to see if that has any impact
May 20 05:44:57 <bkero> Majost_: Nope, already did that.
May 20 05:45:13 <Majost_> I am not expecting much though...
May 20 05:45:18 <Majost_> crap
May 20 05:45:19 <Majost_> heh
May 20 05:45:22 <bkero> Majost_: HOWEVER, MostAwesomeDude was gracious enough to dd his catual kernel off of the device.  http://code.corbinsimpson.com/uImage.gz
May 20 05:45:43 <bkero> I tried that now, and I did get output, and now I'm flashing a new rootfs to see if that'll fix a booting segfault.
May 20 05:47:06 <Majost_> whoa
May 20 05:47:17 <Majost_> I think a capacitor in my mouse just blew
May 20 05:47:33 <Majost_> I could hear it bubbling and hissing electrolytic fluid
May 20 05:47:39 <Majost_> very freaky
May 20 05:47:50 <bkero> Time to buy a new mouse.
May 20 05:48:01 <Majost_> weirdly, its still working
May 20 05:48:04 <Majost_> haha
May 20 05:48:23 <bkero> Couldn't have been that bad then.
May 20 05:48:34 <Majost_> sounded horrible though
May 20 05:48:34 <Majost_> haha
May 20 05:48:43 <bkero> Majost_: Sweet, got mine booting again!
May 20 05:48:48 <Majost_> how?!
May 20 05:49:00 <bkero> Majost_: the link I posted with the instructions on Reflashing images on the GuruPlug.
May 20 05:51:22 <Majost_> so you used the kernel image from http://code.corbinsimpson.com/uImage.gz
May 20 05:51:51 <DogBoy> nice
May 20 05:52:20 <DogBoy> what link was that bkero
May 20 05:52:23 <Majost_> just so you know, that gzip doesn't contain instuctions
May 20 05:52:41 <bkero> Majost_: Yea, I figured.  tftp it over just like the uImage from http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Reflashing_images_on_the_GuruPlug
May 20 05:52:54 <Majost_> ok
May 20 05:53:06 <bkero> You'll have to tftp over a rootfs afterwards too
May 20 05:53:08 <Majost_> we should upload the uImage to the wiki or something
May 20 05:53:16 <Majost_> thats no problem
May 20 05:53:23 <Majost_> my rootfs is intact (I think(
May 20 05:53:28 <bkero> and then you need the /lib/modules/2.6.32 stuff too
May 20 05:53:48 <bkero> Mine wasn't after I copied the uimage over.
May 20 05:54:01 <Majost_> I started out with a corrupted rootfs... and then when I fixed it, I had module issues -- so I reflashed the kernel -- and all hell broke loose
May 20 05:54:22 * Majost_ nods
May 20 05:54:36 <bkero> http://code.corbinsimpson.com/modules.tar.bz2
May 20 05:57:23 <Majost_> yay!!!!
May 20 05:57:31 <Majost_> Can I buy you a beer?
May 20 05:57:41 <Majost_> or 10
May 20 05:57:52 <Majost_> god this makes me happy
May 20 05:58:43 <bkero> Hehe, sure.
May 20 05:58:52 <bkero> Next time you're in Oregon or SF. :P
May 20 06:01:38 <bkero> Majost_: making a little writeup on my blog, gimme a sec and then you'll have better instructions to follow, OK?
May 20 06:01:57 <Majost_> np
May 20 06:04:01 <Majost_> crap
May 20 06:04:07 <Majost_> its in a boot loop
May 20 06:04:24 <Majost_> it doesn't hang now -- but it uncompresses the kernel image, and then just reboot
May 20 06:04:26 <Majost_> s
May 20 06:05:52 <Majost_> what version of uboot do you have
May 20 06:06:01 <Majost_> maybe I broke that too
May 20 06:06:01 <Majost_> heh
May 20 06:06:12 <bkero> doubtful
May 20 06:06:15 <Majost_> U-Boot 2009.11-rc1-00602-g28a9c08-dirty (Feb 09 2010 - 18:15:21)
May 20 06:06:15 <Majost_> Marvell-Plug2L
May 20 06:06:19 <Majost_> Thats what I have
May 20 06:06:28 <bkero> I haven't touched u-boot, don't plan to.
May 20 06:06:38 <Majost_> too late for me. =(
May 20 06:06:52 <DogBoy> which version do you have bkero
May 20 06:07:11 <DogBoy> first thing I did on sheevaplug was change uboot
May 20 06:08:10 <bkero> DogBoy: I'm running a guruplug.
May 20 06:08:15 <bkero> Pro
May 20 06:08:21 <DogBoy> I know
May 20 06:08:31 <Majost_> server plus you mean?
May 20 06:08:35 <bkero> Yea
May 20 06:08:42 <DogBoy> which version of uboot are you running bkero
May 20 06:08:49 <bkero> U-Boot 2009.11-rc1-00602-g28a9c08-dirty (Feb 09 2010 - 18:15:21)
May 20 06:09:09 <Majost_> string is the same
May 20 06:09:57 <Majost_> does the second part say Marvell-Plug2L?
May 20 06:10:21 <Majost_> I don't imagine it differs... but doesn't hurt to check
May 20 06:10:25 <bkero> Yes
May 20 06:10:53 <Majost_> and you used this rootfs image: http://openplug.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=fileinfo&id=78
May 20 06:11:27 <bkero> Yes
May 20 06:11:41 <Majost_> hrm
May 20 06:12:11 * Majost_ compares bkero's env settings to his
May 20 06:13:00 <bkero> Majost_: halfway done with my blog post :)
May 20 06:15:56 <Majost_> Important notes for your post:
May 20 06:16:23 <Majost_> My diff showed me this:
May 20 06:16:26 <Majost_> +filesize=B940000
May 20 06:16:26 <Majost_> +fileaddr=6400000
May 20 06:16:38 <Majost_> so
May 20 06:16:43 <Majost_> setenv filesize B940000
May 20 06:16:48 <bkero> is that on yours or mine?
May 20 06:16:56 <Majost_> yours has that
May 20 06:17:01 <Majost_> mine lost it somewhere along the time
May 20 06:17:04 <Majost_> er line
May 20 06:17:09 <bkero> I see.
May 20 06:17:56 <Majost_> Marvell>> setenv filesize B940000
May 20 06:17:56 <Majost_> Marvell>> setenv fileaddr 6400000
May 20 06:17:56 <Majost_> Marvell>> saveenv
May 20 06:18:01 <Majost_> thats what else it needs
May 20 06:18:04 <Majost_> I think
May 20 06:18:07 <Majost_> lemme test
May 20 06:18:37 <Majost_> fuck
May 20 06:18:43 <Majost_> boot loop again
May 20 06:19:12 <bkero> I didn't alter filesize or fileaddr. O_o
May 20 06:19:33 <Majost_> right, but I didn't have it in my settings
May 20 06:19:43 <bkero> I see
May 20 06:20:06 <Majost_> your pastebin post shows you did
May 20 06:20:36 <bkero> That must have been added through a u-boot script.
May 20 06:23:54 <bkero> Done
May 20 06:23:59 <bkero> Majost_: http://blueheaven.ws/2010/05/20/restoring-guruplugs/
May 20 06:25:24 <Majost_> yeah, did all that basically
May 20 06:25:28 <Majost_> no dice
May 20 06:26:54 <bkero> Can't dd the uboot mtd partition unfortunately :/
May 20 06:27:14 <Majost_> it definitlely feels like progress thoguh
May 20 06:27:46 <Majost_> yeah
May 20 06:30:57 <Majost_> hrmm
May 20 06:31:02 <Majost_> I wonder if I can tftpboot it
May 20 06:32:20 <Majost_> nope.. that crashes it
May 20 06:32:48 <Majost_> that or I am using the wrong segment of memory for tftpboot with this kernel image
May 20 06:37:58 <Majost_> noper
May 20 06:42:57 <Majost_> welp, I will keep plugging at it tomorrow... I gotta get some rest.
May 20 06:43:17 <Majost_> thanks bkero, I think I am on the right track now
May 20 06:43:31 <Majost_> just need to figure out what I broke in the process
May 20 06:43:33 <Majost_> heh
May 20 06:43:36 <Majost_> ttyl
May 20 06:58:21 <bkero> Sure thing :)
May 20 06:58:24 <bkero> Hope it helps.
May 20 07:50:17 <doragasu> Hi, I received my GuruPlug some days ago and plugged it yesterday. It works perfect, but after some minutes it gets really hot. Is this normal?
May 20 07:51:48 <bkero> Yep
May 20 07:51:58 <jzaw> my sheeva can get warm ... but not so its melting the plastic
May 20 07:52:08 <jzaw> dont have it standing on a carpet
May 20 07:52:12 <jzaw> allow air to get around it
May 20 07:52:16 <jzaw> and ...
May 20 07:52:20 <jzaw> what bkero said ^^^
May 20 07:52:48 <bkero> You'll smell some burning plastic for the first day or two.
May 20 07:53:03 <jzaw> ahh the smell of fresh electronics hehe
May 20 07:53:34 * bkero has his hidden on college campus with wifi set up and openvpn to get in.
May 20 07:53:45 <jzaw> nice
May 20 07:54:09 <doragasu> It doesn't melt plastic, but it gets really hot. So hot you can't touch the ethernet connectors for too long.
May 20 07:55:24 <doragasu> I have some more questions... anybody using openembedded with guruplug? is it even supported? I asked in #oe but got no answer...
May 20 07:55:58 <doragasu> I know sheevaplug is supported, but I don't know if built images for the sheeva will work with guruplug.
May 20 07:58:10 <bkero> I've had a hell of a time replacing anything on this guy.
May 20 07:59:58 <doragasu> I have only played with my plug for about one hour, but it looks like it will be really painful to get things like vncserver and other progs working.
May 20 08:00:58 <bkero> I'm going to try getting X up on it and using it as a desktop.
May 20 08:01:01 <jzaw> is that openbsd embeded ? cool id be interested in that
May 20 08:01:33 <jzaw> im surprised you say that its hard ... ive been compilling stuff in squeeze ... just like i do on any other headless box
May 20 08:01:34 <doragasu> http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Main_Page
May 20 08:01:56 <jzaw> if it works on sheeva ... it _should_ just work ® on the guru
May 20 08:02:09 <jzaw> they are the same processor ... just faster ram
May 20 08:02:13 <doragasu> Well, maybe I'm still a noob with embedded Linux :~
May 20 08:02:38 <doragasu> Then I suppose it's worth a try
May 20 08:02:41 <bkero> I can't get any kernel besides the one it comes with to boot. :/
May 20 08:02:44 <jzaw> embeded isnt the easiest to start with ... youve no screen to resort to ... has to be done via the jtag
May 20 08:03:22 <doragasu> I have played for some months with openembedded and beagleboard using only console
May 20 08:03:42 <jzaw> shame im going away for a month id love to play
May 20 08:03:59 <doragasu> but there's a lot of documentation for the BB, and it's hard for me to find too much documentation for the guruplug
May 20 08:14:33 <doragasu> Is there documentation for example for getting ubuntu working on guruplug?
May 20 08:19:06 <jzaw> i dont think its any different to sheevaplug doragasu

May 20 19:00:48 <jherm> I backed up my kernel with nanddump but now I can't flash it back in (size too big), any ideas?
May 20 19:01:11 <jherm> File is padded with FF for most of the latter half
May 20 19:12:07 <Majost> guruplug?
May 20 19:18:25 <jherm> Yes, I'm on a GuruPlug...
May 20 19:18:46 <jherm> Sorry Majost, didn't see you had responded...
May 20 19:19:15 <jherm> I'm trying to rewrite back the original image I dumped to see if they are equal bit for bit. So far, they haven't been.
May 20 19:24:13 <Majost> yeah, mine is bricked because of that
May 20 19:24:54 <Majost> try this: http://blueheaven.ws/2010/05/20/restoring-guruplugs/
May 20 19:25:03 <Majost> it worked for bkero
May 20 19:25:10 <Majost> and thats his blog
May 20 19:25:38 <Majost> It got me part way -- but my plug just goes into a reboot loop after loading the kernel
May 20 19:29:44 <MoDaX> Majost: unplug network cable(s)
May 20 19:30:01 <MoDaX> Majost: do you have jtag?
May 20 19:30:11 <jherm> I don't have the JTAG cable anyways...
May 20 19:30:39 <jherm> I am trying to flash with nandwrite. I think I got it anyway. I finally got a 1-to-1 dump and theoretically if I rebooted my plug it'd be as if I didn't touch the kernel MTD partition at all...
May 20 19:30:51 <jherm> but I did. And it came down to using flash_eraseall instead of just flash_erase.
May 20 19:56:31 <doragasu> I'm getting mad trying to change the access point configuration of my guruplug, and I can't find good tutorials on the net. Is there a tutorial or at least an easy way to change the IP assigned to the AP?
May 20 20:06:01 <doragasu> This is weird. The AP gets IP 192.168.1.1, and 'grep -r 192.168.1.1 /etc 2>/dev/null' doesn't get useful results for me. Where is the config file that tells uap0 to get that IP?
May 20 20:07:24 <MoDaX> doragasu: /root/init_setup.sh
May 20 21:53:54 <Majost> MoDaX, the reboot loop from the stock image occurs after booting I thought
May 20 21:54:59 <MoDaX> Majost: yes. if guruplug is connected to gigabit ethernet link
May 20 21:55:53 <Majost> yeah.. this boot loop happens when the kernel finished decompressing/unpacking
May 20 21:56:00 <Majost> it doesn't actually boot the kernel
May 20 21:56:49 <MoDaX> Majost: mine reboots when /etc/init.d/bluetooth is started
May 20 21:56:56 <MoDaX> (from /root/init_setup.sh)
May 20 21:57:35 <MoDaX> short term solution is to comment that line out
May 20 23:51:55 <dmb_> Majost: are they going to provide a new image for that reboot issue you think?
May 21 00:00:10 <Majost> I hope... but when the reply I got from globalscale was to get the image from http://code.google.com/p/guruplug/ which was broken for me
May 21 00:00:29 <Majost> the kernel image was broken that is
