**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Oct 29 02:59:57 2010 Oct 29 03:27:09 Hi so I'm trying to get ubuntu running on the pandaboard. Problem I have is that I don't ahve a monitor atm and trying to get it working so I can login over terminal so I can start doing stuff to it Oct 29 03:27:14 Setup ssh etc. Oct 29 03:27:32 at any rate, I use setenv bootargs console=ttyO2,115200n8 serialtty=ttyO2 rw rootwait mem=463M elevator=noop vram=32M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 as boot.scr (and some other stuff) Oct 29 03:27:39 still I only get kernel output, no login and such Oct 29 03:27:58 topfs2: to get login you need to create the ttyO2.conf file at /etc/init/ Oct 29 03:28:03 like tty1.conf Oct 29 03:28:11 but with getty ttyO2 115200 Oct 29 03:28:24 oh ok, will try that Oct 29 03:28:26 thanks Oct 29 03:28:29 then upstart calls getty with the proper console Oct 29 03:29:10 for example, change "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" to "exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyO2" Oct 29 03:32:28 awesome, I got a login :D Oct 29 03:32:31 thanks rsalveti ! Oct 29 03:33:06 you don't happen to know the std user and pass? Oct 29 03:42:10 topfs2: there's none, because it calls the oem-config and ask you to create the proper user account Oct 29 03:42:25 so no way to login? Oct 29 03:42:30 without booting with monitor? Oct 29 03:42:36 no, you need to hack up the image Oct 29 03:42:49 you can remove the root password request, and then create one Oct 29 03:43:01 or get inside with chroot, then you can create it with adduser Oct 29 03:43:37 hmm, chroot seems best Oct 29 03:43:39 I'll try that Oct 29 03:43:47 if you need a minimum rootfs you can also create it with rootstock Oct 29 03:43:56 and then use it at the second sd card partition Oct 29 03:44:14 then you can also request a user to be created during image build time Oct 29 03:44:26 Should that be ok to do with panda aswell? Oct 29 03:46:45 topfs2: yup Oct 29 03:58:19 haha, hand editing /etc/shadow worked wonders ;) Oct 29 03:58:24 thanks for the help Oct 29 04:07:00 np Oct 29 04:09:50 next step, getting usb network. thats always fun Oct 29 13:05:36 hi Oct 29 13:37:57 I feel that next week will be interesting for me in arm world Oct 29 13:39:00 kde in natty/armel is behind natty/amd64 so my smartbook has x11 problems... will use pandaboard for local rebuilds Oct 29 13:41:07 hi eric Oct 29 13:41:45 rsalveti: Thanks Oct 29 13:42:39 rsalveti: I'll speak more with jcastellanos to figure out what's going on when he reappears Oct 29 15:15:31 where plans for work on efikamx smart[top|book] devices will be synchronized/discussed? irc or ubuntu-mobile ML? Oct 29 15:36:06 hrw|uds, let's start with irc first and see if we have needs for a specific list or if an existing one can be useful for us Oct 29 15:36:59 wii markos_ Oct 29 15:37:01 ops Oct 29 15:38:46 markos_: how many things needs to be done then just kernel? flash-kernel, initrd stuff, xorg-xserver, gstreamer imx51 codecs? Oct 29 15:39:35 you want the complete list? :) Oct 29 15:40:22 I think that such one needs to be created at one point Oct 29 15:41:23 there already is, it's just too long to paste here Oct 29 15:41:42 but yeah, the ones you mentioned are already included, and high on the list Oct 29 15:42:14 ok Oct 29 16:56:00 Is pulseaudio working properly on ARM? Oct 29 16:56:27 I.e. can I consider using it, or should I rather rely on direct access to alsa? Oct 29 17:41:42 anybody ? Oct 29 18:02:10 sveinse, it works Oct 29 18:06:17 Can someone grant me access to an Ubuntu arm box to port gcl and its dependencies? Oct 29 18:30:54 I Wanna port linux to my ARM netbook Oct 29 18:31:06 anybody can help ? Oct 29 18:36:30 gean: What notebook do you have? Oct 29 18:38:57 Chinese One Oct 29 18:39:32 ARM926EJ - Anyka AK7802 Oct 29 18:39:37 128 RAM Oct 29 18:39:47 266 Mhz Proc. Oct 29 18:40:16 I've done my toolkit ( Binutils + gcc) for cross-compiling Oct 29 18:40:35 but lacks the kernel Oct 29 18:40:58 gean: don't you have any bsp or toolchain from the Anyka? Oct 29 18:41:07 gean: You're going to struggle with that much RAM Oct 29 18:41:28 ahahaha so much Oct 29 18:41:36 gean: 128M RAM is not enough for ubuntu, i think Oct 29 18:41:48 cooloney: cross-compiling shouldn't be an issue Oct 29 18:41:59 RAM and proc specs will cripple you Oct 29 18:42:19 i just need kind of blackbox or a lighter box Oct 29 18:43:14 gean: what's kind of OS in this notebook Oct 29 18:43:21 originally? Oct 29 18:43:27 gean: Google is your friend here Oct 29 18:43:31 no need for ubuntu, I'm using it at this desktop .. for the netbook it will be very slow ( if runs ... ) Oct 29 18:43:37 gean: People has Linux running on it Oct 29 18:43:44 WinCE Oct 29 18:44:07 gean: yeah, i got it Oct 29 18:44:18 gean: no kernel = no linux Oct 29 18:44:31 Man .. i saw many things .. but officialy there is not any bsp Oct 29 18:44:43 for this model .. Oct 29 18:44:52 gean: so what's the cpu's model number? Oct 29 18:44:53 no kernel patches Oct 29 18:46:15 cooloney : anyka AK-7802 Oct 29 18:46:29 wince says ARM926-AKCHIP Oct 29 18:48:16 there is not win .. probably need hack it Oct 29 18:48:55 but i never done such of thing ... any help would be appreciated Oct 29 18:57:23 anyone know anything about compcache/ramzswap support in initrd? Oct 29 18:57:26 it doesn't seem to do anything Oct 29 18:57:36 module is loaded by the initrd scripts but it's not set up for some reason Oct 29 18:57:48 (I tried 25 % and 96 M in the file and it never happens) Oct 29 20:00:37 getting frustrated with beagleboard and nfsroot Oct 29 20:01:02 ikke-t: bbxm? Oct 29 20:01:12 bb c4 Oct 29 20:01:17 auch Oct 29 20:01:21 unfortunately Oct 29 20:01:27 but with usb eth Oct 29 20:01:32 network works Oct 29 20:02:03 but now boot is complaining about not getting to lock nfs stuff, try with option '-o nolock' Oct 29 20:02:20 well, it doesn't read the option from kernel params Oct 29 20:02:21 statd not running? Oct 29 20:02:35 statd on nfs host or bb? Oct 29 20:02:41 host I assume Oct 29 20:02:43 iirc you should have portmap + statd + lockd working Oct 29 20:02:43 ? Oct 29 20:02:54 do not remember. long time since last nfsroot Oct 29 20:03:07 hmm, just changed the host onto debian, maybe something missing from install. Oct 29 20:03:21 just installed kernel-nfs and nfs-common Oct 29 20:03:55 nfs-kernel-server that is Oct 29 20:04:25 * hrw|uds -> sessions Oct 29 20:06:58 apt-cache doesn't find statd Oct 29 20:08:55 yahoo, found it from /etc/default/nfs-common Oct 29 20:09:01 \o/ Oct 29 20:22:12 no-luck, gets stuck at the same point as the earlier server. somewhere after reading fstab, since it complained about typo in fstab on nfsroot Oct 29 20:22:51 last message on screen being "Begin: Running /scriptsinit-bottom ...done." Oct 29 20:23:16 and happily stays there and doesn't answer even ping. pretty dead looking to me. Oct 29 20:23:25 i wonder if this works for somebody? Oct 29 20:23:58 beagleboard nfsroot -boot, ubuntu maverick. Oct 29 20:26:15 hmmm. kernel hung? echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this Oct 29 20:26:20 message Oct 29 20:26:27 doesn't sound promising Oct 29 20:30:22 ikke-t: what I would do: remove / from fstab, check. check for statd/lockd/portmap on host and on target Oct 29 20:33:52 hrw|uds: statd/portmap running on host, removed / from nfsroot/etc/fstab Oct 29 20:34:02 no difference: Oct 29 20:34:31 ;( Oct 29 20:35:27 i wonder should ubuntu init honor the console setting from kernel params? Oct 29 20:35:52 now it jumps to print on screen instead of serial at some point Oct 29 20:37:01 INFO: task bluetoothd:576 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Oct 29 20:37:49 stuck. Oct 29 21:08:19 hello Oct 29 21:09:58 I wrote an algorithm which when run on 486 processor takes 15 seconds, and on ARM takes 15 minutes. Same input data. Anyone has a clue why, or where to start looking? Oct 29 21:13:16 acid, the algorithm is probably relying on libraries that are implemented ina completely different way, such that something which was cheap on the 486 isn't on arm Oct 29 21:14:06 post the source on a pastebin if you want any more detail Oct 29 21:30:45 cwillu; sec, I will Oct 29 21:34:59 cwillu; http://pastebin.com/CBMZZZ1W Oct 29 21:35:22 cwillu; this is no the whole thing, just the most expencive part. Oct 29 21:35:28 and Oct 29 21:35:44 this is actually not my code, I just rewrote some parts of it Oct 29 21:35:49 :P Oct 29 21:35:58 b/c they were slow... Oct 29 22:19:57 rsalveti, Just wanted to say that the kernel image I have doesn't seem to have the parameter. I checked ls /sys/module/smsc95xx/parameters/ and it just gives me turbo_mode. Is there any place youhave your kernel images so I could perhaps make a rootstock of them? Oct 29 22:25:46 and for others that might wonder what I'm on about its the http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/maverick/release/ for omap4 Oct 29 22:25:59 Seems like it might be missing the macaddr parameter for the ethernet on panda Oct 29 22:26:01 topfs2: weird, it's in our upstream kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c;h=a3c8fe6e639eda5ec4eeb1cedf28e297d6386c37;hb=refs/heads/ti-omap4 Oct 29 22:26:18 module_param(macaddr, charp, 0); Oct 29 22:26:19 oh awesome your here :) Oct 29 22:26:40 yeah its rather weird, perhaps I should try to build a kernel myself and see Oct 29 22:26:49 Or is there any daily ones available somewere? Oct 29 22:27:30 topfs2: nops, just the one at the archive Oct 29 22:27:41 topfs2: if you are using maverick as a host you can quickly cross compile it Oct 29 22:27:54 Yup using maverick so I could probably check into that Oct 29 22:28:00 Do you know if there is any docs about it? Oct 29 22:29:18 but rsalveti it should show up in that ls right? so I'm not doing something wrong? Oct 29 22:30:35 topfs2: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2010/10/19/how-to-cross-compile-arm-kernel-under-ubuntu-10-10/ Oct 29 22:30:40 topfs2: and yes, you're right, it should be there Oct 29 22:30:57 awesome, I'll try compiling one then Oct 29 22:31:00 thanks for the help Oct 29 22:31:09 kernel is easy to compile Oct 29 22:31:22 just CROSS_COMPILE=toolchain- ARCH=arm Oct 29 22:31:40 topfs2: what did you get when you set up the macaddr argument at the kernel cmd line? Oct 29 22:31:40 though your building kpkgs so hrw's stuff probably helps there Oct 29 22:32:22 rsalveti, should it be different if I have or not added it to the kernel commadn line? because I added it then checked the ls when it didn't work Oct 29 22:33:15 topfs2: module_param(macaddr, charp, 0); Oct 29 22:33:27 the 0 is the perm argument Oct 29 22:33:34 @perm: visibility in sysfs Oct 29 22:33:46 aha Oct 29 22:33:54 So perhaps I just have done it wrong in the kernel command line Oct 29 22:34:06 perm sets the visibility in sysfs: 000 means it's Oct 29 22:34:06 not there, Oct 29 22:34:13 topfs2: probably Oct 29 22:34:32 I tried just plain macaddr="foo" and smbc95xx.macaddr= (this one mostly as I wanted to try abit more) Oct 29 22:35:07 *smsc95xx Oct 29 22:35:59 setenv bootargs console=ttyO2,115200n8 serialtty=ttyO2 rw rootwait mem=463M elevator=noop vram=32M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 macaddr="00:11:22:33:44:55" Oct 29 22:36:20 smsc95xx.macaddr=01:23:45:67:89:AB should work Oct 29 22:36:35 try this one Oct 29 22:36:39 Oh, without " " Oct 29 22:36:44 I'll try that Oct 29 22:39:52 Sorry, need to vanish for a quicky, gonna go and buy beer before it closes Oct 29 22:40:00 :-) Oct 29 22:44:18 topfs2: try modinfo if it's buildt asa module Oct 29 22:44:26 or check /sys/module Oct 29 22:58:42 * rsalveti will be out for now, uds party Oct 29 23:40:39 tmzt, yeah thats the thing, its built in :) Oct 29 23:40:51 mmmmm. amarula and cofee with the beer... nom nom :) Oct 29 23:58:25 ojn was it you who I was asking about the binutils --fix-cortex-a8 thing? Oct 29 23:59:19 awesome rsalveti thanks so much for the help. it was the " " that I shouldn't have added Oct 29 23:59:24 pebkac :) Oct 30 00:50:33 Neko: well, we talked about it, yeah. Oct 30 00:58:14 so is that stuff (and the plt stuff too that was talked about in may) in linaro-gcc? :/ Oct 30 01:21:47 Neko: no idea. I don't work with linaro, nor ubuntu. :) Oct 30 01:23:01 :D Oct 30 01:23:06 why did we even get to this conversation even Oct 30 01:25:07 Because I said "I can't believe Freescale hasn't fixed their silicon", and you said they have but you have old hardware that you need the fix for. :) Oct 30 01:25:39 * ojn goes to find a tv couch instead. Oct 30 01:25:40 :) Oct 30 01:39:54 yep :] **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Oct 30 02:59:57 2010
