**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jul 31 02:59:57 2010 Jul 31 09:55:59 hi. i use 4.10.1 and have some problems with mpd's sound output. it sound simply awful, but e.g. ffplay plays it perfectly. where could the problem be? Jul 31 09:56:29 sry, 10.4.1 Jul 31 10:02:43 10.04.1? Jul 31 10:02:52 10.10 > 10.04 Jul 31 10:03:02 calling it 10.4 just confuses :) Jul 31 10:03:34 that said, I'm going to bed, sorry Jul 31 10:07:08 ok, 10.04.1. Jul 31 10:39:04 * cwillu is almost in bed Jul 31 14:26:00 reporting live from ubuntu karmic on the HTC HD2 via hsdpa Aug 01 00:54:55 I was just trying to install Lucid on a BeagleBoard XM, but it fails in two places Aug 01 00:55:22 if says it can't load kernel modules, so of course later it can't find the MMC card to install to... Aug 01 00:58:49 rsavoye, which kernel? ubuntu's? Aug 01 00:59:11 I was trying the lucid one off the BeagleBoardUbuntu page Aug 01 00:59:19 although maverick would be better Aug 01 00:59:32 if it's my kernel, it has to be atleast 2.6.34+ Aug 01 01:00:37 I'll try the prebuilt maverick image from the same page Aug 01 01:01:12 the maverick alpha-2 listed there will boot. ;) i've tested it on my xm.. just testing an alpha-3 for next week.. Aug 01 01:01:33 cool, it's still downloading Aug 01 01:01:56 will it default to the serial port ? Aug 01 01:02:06 yeap ttyS2... Aug 01 01:02:08 I need to get a HDMI DVI-D adapter Aug 01 01:02:27 it's actually both, it's setup to load ttyS2 with login and tty0 (hdmi) Aug 01 01:02:39 even better :-) Aug 01 01:03:03 I just mostly need to compile a a bunch of stuff to track down some problems Aug 01 01:03:21 the big issue with that kernel thou, the xm will only run about 500mhz, i didn't fix that till my 2.6.35-rc stuff.. i had one user have problems running at full speed 1Ghz he had to back down to 800mhz, still figuring out TI's voltage change stuff. Aug 01 01:03:39 ouch, I was looking forward to 1Ghz :-) Aug 01 01:04:07 since I have piles of compiling to do Aug 01 01:05:18 my works.. ;) but not all.. this patch will fix the issue.. the problem not all the infrasture is in mainline, so i'm cherry picking still... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/%2Bjunk/2.6.35-devel/annotate/head:/patches/arago-project/0001-OMAP3630-PM-Update-for-OPP-1GHz.patch Aug 01 01:07:40 I'm having similar problems... Aug 01 01:07:55 I assume it'll be fixed RSN anyway ? Aug 01 01:09:04 my MMC shows up as /dev/mmcblk0p1, so I assume I'll need the other setup script ? Aug 01 01:09:28 we will see, it'll defintelly get fixed faster as the xm's start shipping..(beagle group email metioned new memory in..) Aug 01 01:10:10 so they fixed the memory problem ? Aug 01 01:10:21 no.. alpha-2, does not have the issue... That bug came out after i released the 10.04 image in "may"... it takes time to upload 70mb's on my slow cable.. Aug 01 01:10:35 ah... Aug 01 01:11:41 i'm not sure, as i have one of the very early 256mb models.. but it sounds like they got good 512mb memory now.. Aug 01 01:12:02 the unit I just got has 512mb Aug 01 01:12:38 yeap, if it's marked with an "A" on the corner it's a production unit.. Aug 01 01:14:21 mine doesn't have an A, it came from TI with zero docs Aug 01 01:15:51 beagle's don't come with docs.. ;) everything is on beagleboard.org (well the schematic's aren't up yet) Aug 01 01:18:27 I'm used to getting hardware before docs anyway. :-) Aug 01 01:18:38 copying to the SD... Aug 01 01:22:19 rcn-ee: root passwd ? Aug 01 01:22:32 it obviously booted fine Aug 01 01:23:21 no root... user: ubuntu pass: temppwd (the alpha-3 image will bring up oem-config, just got to sacarfise 100Mb to swap) Aug 01 01:23:26 wow, that was too easy :-) Aug 01 01:24:42 if you look at dmesg, there is atleast one oops with usart 3.. Aug 01 01:25:00 sweet, I'm in, thanks Aug 01 01:26:03 no problem.. it'll be interesting if your board fails at 1Ghz too.. the latest kernel: http://rcn-ee.net/deb/maverick/v2.6.35-rc6-dl12/install-me.sh if it hard locks on boot, change mpurate from 1Ghz to 900/800 etc... Aug 01 01:30:39 yeah, might be worth trying as long as I can hack it work at a slower speed Aug 01 01:30:50 but 1Ghz would be nice for builds Aug 01 01:31:13 the script will back up the existing uImage and uInird so it's pretty easy to back and forth. ;) Aug 01 01:31:16 hum, apt-get doesn't like ports.ubuntu.com Aug 01 01:32:03 ok, downloading it, I'll try it Aug 01 01:33:08 wow, this is a reasonably decent performing little machine Aug 01 01:33:25 I'm sort of used to 200-400Mhz :-( Aug 01 01:34:30 yeah the xm is pretty quick.. of course i thought the original beagle 500mhz/128mb was quick too a couple years back.. it keeps geting better.. Aug 01 01:35:03 mv: cannot move `/tmp/boot/uImage' to `/tmp/boot/uImage_old': Read-only file sym Aug 01 01:35:03 `/tmp/boot/uInitrd' -> `/tmp/boot/uInitrd_old' Aug 01 01:35:27 guess I should have done it as root Aug 01 01:35:40 no it calls sudo... Aug 01 01:36:47 is mount showing /dev/mmcblk0p1 as "ro" sounds like the same weird thing that till's board is doing.. (why mine doesn..t0 Aug 01 01:36:52 hum then I have a problem Aug 01 01:37:25 yeah,. read-only file system Aug 01 01:38:08 so I guess I can Aug 01 01:38:13 is there a 'write protect' switch on your mini-sd card? Aug 01 01:38:15 t run at 1Ghz ? Aug 01 01:38:27 could be, let me pull it out and check Aug 01 01:39:54 i don't think there is, but it's weird both your's and till's xm (512mb) models default to write-protect on the sd, whereas mine stay rw.. Aug 01 01:40:13 I don't see one, even put my reading glasses on... Aug 01 01:41:17 i'd hope it would be pretty obvious.. Aug 01 01:43:24 just making sure. :-) Aug 01 01:43:53 rsavoye, use nano and add this line: http://pastebin.com/wUNVc9Y7 (it should remount it as rw) Aug 01 01:45:27 ok, done. trying again Aug 01 01:48:57 that time it was happy Aug 01 01:49:48 cool thanks.. i'll add a ro check and workaround for future install-me scripts. ;) Aug 01 01:51:06 seems to hang on reboot after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. " Aug 01 01:51:39 Image Name: 2.6.35-rc6-dl12 Aug 01 01:51:39 Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Aug 01 01:51:55 yeah that's the clock speed... :( use the boot.cmd from the ubuntu directory and change it to mpurate=800 instead of muprate=${mpurate} Aug 01 01:52:28 I assume I do that with the MMC mounted to a different machine ? Aug 01 01:53:01 yeap, with another pc, so you need the sd card reader.. Aug 01 01:53:23 till got it too boot every 3rd/4th time.. Aug 01 01:54:15 the ubuntu directory is where ? Aug 01 01:55:01 in the extracted dir.. ubuntu-maverick-alpha2-minimal-armel/boot.cmd Aug 01 01:55:51 then it's just: sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Boot Script" -d ${DIR}/boot.cmd ${DIR}/disk/boot.scr Aug 01 01:57:36 DIR being my MMC card ? or where ubuntu* is untarred ? Aug 01 01:59:16 the first DIR is your ubuntu-maverick-alpha2-minimal-armel/ directory an the 2nd one is your mmc card.. (just remember to edit boot.cmd first) Aug 01 02:03:09 looks like 800 doesn't do it either, 600 next ? Aug 01 02:04:45 very weird, 800mhz should have worked no problem.. maybe go back to the *_old i'll do some more testing on my xm tomorrow.. Aug 01 02:05:08 I'll 600, then go back to the original image Aug 01 02:05:27 maybe I screwed up a step Aug 01 02:06:31 no, i don't think you did.. the install script been tested quiet a bit in weird enviroments... You just have serial access right? Aug 01 02:07:40 yep, I'm redoing it 800 Aug 01 02:07:55 just to be sure Aug 01 02:09:07 and yeah, only serial access till I get the network up Aug 01 02:10:14 yep, that time it worked. user error... Aug 01 02:11:10 it says 2.6.34-l2 ? Aug 01 02:11:16 that's the original... Aug 01 02:11:20 oops, Aug 01 02:16:41 so let me get this right, I should run install-me.sh on the but the boot.cmd is in the original tarball ? Aug 01 02:18:35 the install-me can only be run on the beagle... the original boot.scr that is created with the setup_sdcard.sh script sets mpurate=${mpurate} this passes 1000 from u-boot to kernel, which then trys to set 1Ghz on the omap.. but it's not 100% yet, so we force mpurate=800 and copy that new boot.scr to the fat partition on the sd card.. Aug 01 02:19:13 that's what I thought Aug 01 02:20:13 so after I run the install-me script, I have to reboot. But editing boot.cmd and running setup goes back to the original Aug 01 02:20:49 or since I edited boot.cmd, ran setup, and then install-me.sh ? Aug 01 02:21:00 * cwillu_at_work blames the sd cards Aug 01 02:21:14 yeah... the 'setup_sdcard' will reformat the sd card and use the original kernel image again.. Aug 01 02:21:56 2.6.35-rc6-dl12. I had the order wrong at first :-) Aug 01 02:22:05 now it's up and set to 800 Aug 01 02:26:55 800Mhz is better than 500Mhz :-) Aug 01 02:27:54 * cwillu_at_work feels inadequate with his 720mhz Aug 01 02:28:14 * rcn-ee to have 512Mb... Aug 01 02:28:57 oddly enough given that I'm running a webapp fullscreen in firefox, I'm cpu bound, not memory bound :p Aug 01 02:29:34 yeah, the extra memory may be better than the clock speed for builds Aug 01 02:29:40 i wouldn't do it for any of your in the field boards, but bump the mpurate value.. ;) Aug 01 02:30:11 above 800 ? I'm a developer anyway. :-) Aug 01 02:31:00 oh i was bugging cwillu_at_work he should overclock his to 820.. ;) Aug 01 02:31:41 * cwillu_at_work installs a water cooler :p Aug 01 02:31:54 ya gotta love working on mobile devices, it's like coding was 20 years ago Aug 01 02:32:25 yep Aug 01 02:32:37 I remember my 32 bit atari with 256mb of memory running at 500mhz Aug 01 02:32:41 * cwillu_at_work blinks Aug 01 02:33:12 actually, I remember my 16/32 bit atari with 2mb of memory and a 20mb scsi hard drive :p Aug 01 02:33:33 * cwillu_at_work reminisces about gfa basic Aug 01 02:33:56 ... where a misindented line was a syntax error enforced by the editor :) Aug 01 02:34:01 my first machine was a time sharing system that I dialed into at 110 baud :-) Aug 01 02:34:23 even the keypunch machines were an improvement to that Aug 01 02:34:57 I used to go to the sleep to the beep beep beep of my mom typing thesis in my bedroom Aug 01 02:35:00 years later, she bit me Aug 01 02:35:05 * cwillu_at_work wonders what happened there Aug 01 02:35:35 now I deal with the psychological issues by buying overpriced sd cards Aug 01 02:35:41 it's a mad world :) Aug 01 02:35:45 my mom hated getting rid of her IBM Selectric typewriter for a word processor... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Aug 01 02:59:57 2010
