Jan 13 10:54:15 <loltoad> so i have a USB interface to this lm3s8962 board, and it creates a /dev/ttyUSB0, how do i flash it?
Jan 13 15:46:28 <hrw> morning

Jan 13 16:08:26 <velory> Hi, I'm using ubuntu on arm with xfce DE.. Is there any interface that I can connect wireless or should I connect from terminal ?
Jan 13 16:15:26 <rsalveti> velory: nm-applet?
Jan 13 16:16:13 <velory> rsalveti:  I don't know nm-applet , downloaded wcid right now but it says it couldn't open wicd D-Bus interface
Jan 13 16:22:54 <janimo> velory, nm-applet is network manager, you could try that
Jan 13 16:48:09 <rsalveti> GrueMaster: fun for you: bug 688765

Jan 13 17:09:42 <mwhudson> rsalveti: ping
Jan 13 17:09:49 <mwhudson> rsalveti: i have a panda here and i would like to boot it
Jan 13 17:09:54 <mwhudson> i hear you have an image that works?
Jan 13 17:10:38 <GrueMaster> mwhudson: http://cdimage.conference/ubuntu-netbook/daily-preinstalled/20110112/
Jan 13 17:10:47 <GrueMaster> That is our daily preinstalled image.
Jan 13 17:11:08 <mwhudson> GrueMaster: thanks
Jan 13 17:11:10 <GrueMaster> Last night's image failed to build due to a dependency (happens).
Jan 13 17:11:33 <GrueMaster> You will need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Jan 13 17:11:40 <mwhudson> ah
Jan 13 17:11:44 <mwhudson> there's no headless?
Jan 13 17:12:14 <GrueMaster> It is a netbook image.  We have a blueprint to create a minimal image, but it is WIP.
Jan 13 17:13:53 <GrueMaster> You can also roll your own with rootstock.
Jan 13 17:14:45 <GrueMaster> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootStock
Jan 13 17:14:58 <GrueMaster> mwhudson:  ^^^
Jan 13 17:15:16 <mwhudson> i'll try the linaro headless i guess
Jan 13 17:24:53 <rsalveti> mwhudson: pong
Jan 13 17:25:18 <rsalveti> mwhudson: try linaro headless, otherwise we can easily generate a minimal image for you
Jan 13 17:25:18 <mwhudson> rsalveti: nm, GrueMaster helped me out
Jan 13 17:26:28 <mwhudson> rsalveti: that would be really nice actually
Jan 13 17:26:51 <rsalveti> mwhudson: ok, give me a minute
Jan 13 17:27:07 <mwhudson> (having a battle getting the linaro stuff to behave)
Jan 13 17:38:13 <ndec> cooloney: hi! i am trying to boot mainline kernel (.37) with maverick minimal FS, and i got a panic right at init. it works with busybox FS. so somehow ubuntu requires some defconfig which might be missing. any idea?
Jan 13 17:39:40 <ndec> rsalveti: sebjan: ^^^ in case you are interested...
Jan 13 17:51:50 <mwhudson> rsalveti: getting anywhere with that image?
Jan 13 17:53:17 <rsalveti> mwhudson: getting a weird qemu bug :-(
Jan 13 17:53:25 <mwhudson> bah
Jan 13 17:53:33 <mwhudson> my day is full of yaks
Jan 13 17:53:38 <rsalveti> mwhudson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553687/
Jan 13 17:54:00 <mwhudson> rsalveti: oh, i think i had that
Jan 13 17:54:01 <rsalveti> let me try a maverick rootfs
Jan 13 17:54:28 <mwhudson> rsalveti: get the qemu-kvm-extras-static from natty
Jan 13 17:54:38 <mwhudson> rsalveti: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/62064032/qemu-kvm-extras-static_0.13.0%2Bnoroms-0ubuntu11_amd64.deb
Jan 13 17:54:41 <rsalveti> oh, saw the bug
Jan 13 17:54:45 <rsalveti> fixed with latest one
Jan 13 17:54:47 <rsalveti> ok
Jan 13 17:56:53 <rsalveti> trying again
Jan 13 17:57:12 <rsalveti> sorry for taking so long, lots of interruptions around :-)
Jan 13 17:57:43 <rsalveti> ndec: cooloney could boot it with upstream kernel
Jan 13 17:57:49 <rsalveti> let me ping him to send you his .config
Jan 13 17:58:10 <mwhudson> rsalveti: no kidding
Jan 13 17:58:21 <mwhudson> (it also seems my panda doesn't want to boot at all)
Jan 13 17:59:08 <ndec> rsalveti: yes, but with the natty defconfig, not the default config from mainline kernel. maybe i wasn't clear... in fact I am looking for the CONFIG that are needed on top of mainline to make it work
Jan 13 17:59:52 <rsalveti> mwhudson: weird, are you at least getting to x-loader and u-boot?
Jan 13 18:01:11 <mwhudson> rsalveti: no
Jan 13 18:01:21 <mwhudson> i now have jcrigby on the case
Jan 13 18:01:27 <rsalveti> mwhudson: hm, ok
Jan 13 18:02:12 <cooloney> ndec: what i did is
Jan 13 18:02:26 <cooloney> 1) generate the kernel config file in natty ti-omap4
Jan 13 18:02:39 <cooloney> 2) copy that to mainline kernel tree as .config
Jan 13 18:02:52 <cooloney> 3) load that .config when running menuconfig
Jan 13 18:03:21 <cooloney> 4) build the kernel with that .config and the kernel is supposed to be ok on Panda with ubuntu root filesystem
Jan 13 18:03:42 <rsalveti> GrueMaster: can you target bug 694059 for maverick for me? I added the qemu-kvm component but can't target to a specific distro version

Jan 13 18:07:03 <GrueMaster> Sure, on it.
Jan 13 18:08:26 <rsalveti> weee qemu: uncaught target signal 6 (Aborted) - core dumped
Jan 13 18:16:48 <rsalveti> mwhudson: ok, finally generated it, will test
Jan 13 18:18:00 <jcrigby> rsalveti, I have that qemu problem.  The version on natty (.13) fixes it.  There is a maverick version in my ppa.
Jan 13 18:18:19 <jcrigby> as a workaround
Jan 13 18:19:07 <rsalveti> jcrigby: yup, but I wanted that to be fixed at the archive
Jan 13 18:19:42 <jcrigby> rsalveti, I understand just letting you know of the binary for workaround
Jan 13 18:22:11 <rsalveti> jcrigby: oh, sure :-)
Jan 13 18:22:13 <rsalveti> thanks
Jan 13 19:23:37 <rsalveti> mwhudson: finally something that works
Jan 13 19:23:40 <rsalveti> mwhudson: http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/rootfs/natty/
Jan 13 19:24:01 * mwhudson sees he's not the only one not eating lunch yet
Jan 13 19:24:43 <mwhudson> rsalveti: how do i use this?
Jan 13 19:24:49 <mwhudson> rsalveti: thanks a lot, btw :)
Jan 13 19:25:14 <rsalveti> mwhudson: the rootfs you just extract to your desired partition (usb, sd card, whatever)
Jan 13 19:25:26 <rsalveti> then for the first partition, it needs to be a fat one, as the linaro script creates
Jan 13 19:25:35 <rsalveti> just copy the boot files over there and it should boot fine
Jan 13 19:25:55 <mwhudson> ah ok
Jan 13 19:29:00 <rsalveti> mwhudson: ok, just updated the boot files again
Jan 13 19:29:01 <rsalveti> http://people.canonical.com/~rsalveti/rootfs/natty/boot/
Jan 13 19:29:13 <rsalveti> with proper cmdline if you want to use X later on with gst and stuff
Jan 13 19:29:17 <rsalveti> and the correct uImage
Jan 13 19:29:25 <rsalveti> just tested and it's working fine on my pand
Jan 13 19:29:34 <rsalveti> if you want, just get to the ARM room and get my sd card
Jan 13 19:29:40 <rsalveti> you can test with it, I'm not using
Jan 13 19:29:50 <rsalveti> user ubuntu/ubuntu
Jan 13 19:30:56 <rsalveti> sakoman_: the new u-boot rocks, booting a lot faster, thanks a lot
Jan 13 19:34:01 <mwhudson> rsalveti: thanks, seems to be booting
Jan 13 19:34:11 <rsalveti> mwhudson: awesome
Jan 13 19:34:38 <mwhudson> (with the old boot files i expect, but that's ok, i don't want to use x)
Jan 13 19:35:08 <rsalveti> mwhudson: ok, should work the same way

Jan 13 21:28:43 <cooloney> sebjan: i turned on "Enable L3 error logging" and will test kernel building again.
Jan 13 21:28:55 <cooloney> sebjan: hope i can get some information about the failure
Jan 13 21:43:12 <mwhudson> rsalveti: does /usr/lib/apt/methods/https using 100% cpu for several minutes on a panda sound like a problem?
Jan 13 21:43:53 <ogra> mwhudson, nah, not really :P
Jan 13 21:44:19 <ogra> mwhudson, thats update-apt-xapian-index i would guess
Jan 13 21:44:28 <mwhudson> aah
Jan 13 21:44:29 <mwhudson> ok
Jan 13 21:44:33 <mwhudson> it's progressing now
Jan 13 21:44:48 <ogra> installing htop is a clever move ;)
Jan 13 21:45:34 <cooloney> sebjan: it looks there is no L3 error at all when I got bus error from gcc.
Jan 13 21:45:58 <mwhudson> ogra: can i turn update-apt-xapian-index off?
Jan 13 21:49:05 <ogra> ask mvo
Jan 13 21:49:37 <ogra> i'm n ot sure what it implies if you dont have it running, i guess software center will become very slow when searching in it
Jan 13 21:57:54 <mwhudson> ogra: turns out it's not installed
Jan 13 22:17:02 <ogra> mwhudson, hmm
Jan 13 22:17:15 <ogra> then its probably update-manager itself
Jan 13 22:39:08 <lool> mwhudson: You can divert it to /bin/true  :-)
Jan 13 22:39:21 <mwhudson> lool: heh heh
Jan 13 22:39:43 <mwhudson> sadly i don't think diverting .../apt/transports/https to true would have the desired effect
Jan 14 00:22:00 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: ping
Jan 14 00:30:57 <rcn-ee> rlameiro, pong (just walked in)
Jan 14 00:38:03 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: I am getting an erron on the linaro-create-media script
Jan 14 00:38:17 <rlameiro> IIRC you made it, maybe you can help me
Jan 14 00:39:12 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/553827/
Jan 14 00:39:28 <rcn-ee> hey rlameiro, i did the intial implementation, if it's one of the extensions i might not be any help... (loads pastebin)
Jan 14 00:40:31 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: lameiro@studiobeta:~/stagepd/linaro$ linaro-media-create --rootfs ext3 --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --dev igep                     --binary linaro-m-netbook-efl-tar-20101108-1.tar.gz                     --hwpack hwpack_linaro-igep_20101109-1_armel.tar.gz
Jan 14 00:40:44 <rlameiro> this is the command I ran
Jan 14 00:40:59 <rlameiro> I even bought a diferent sd card... i tought it could be it
Jan 14 00:43:13 <rcn-ee> (finally found src location)
Jan 14 00:44:26 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: lol, sorry...
Jan 14 00:44:50 <rcn-ee> yuck..  it's really nothing like it use to be...
Jan 14 00:46:14 <rcn-ee> i don't think i can help you too much rlameiro, if you consider what i orignall wrote to be a model t.. it's more like a porshe right now.. i'd be pretty useless right now with it..
Jan 14 00:47:01 <rcn-ee> i'd first double check, does it properly recoginze /dev/mmcblk0 have "pX" partition names, vs /dev/sda have "X" anmes..
Jan 14 00:48:18 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: dont know, shouldnt it work with the root disk?
Jan 14 00:48:51 <rlameiro> i can wipe out the disk and leave it blank again. I tried it and it gave me an error
Jan 14 00:48:54 <rlameiro> will try again
Jan 14 00:50:16 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: weird... the script did formatted the card.. it has 2 partitions .... one fat and other ext3.... i think it recognizes it
Jan 14 00:53:13 <rcn-ee> yeah, it looks like it formated fine, but when mounting the first time to populate some data it bombed..
Jan 14 00:55:10 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: yeap
Jan 14 00:55:27 <rlameiro> it doent mount. I took the card out and in again and ubuntu doesnt mount it
Jan 14 00:55:44 <rlameiro> could it be some config problem?
Jan 14 00:57:00 <rcn-ee> i don't think so.... do you have any other card readers?  only my work laptop has the /dev/mmcblk0pX syntax so i can't test anything at the moment..
Jan 14 01:02:24 <rlameiro> rcn-ee: nop. its the builtin. But i am thinking on buying one for some time now. i think tomorrow i will buy one and then see if it is the reader fault
Jan 14 02:15:07 <SaidKLE> Question: are there any how-tos for native install of ubuntu on mids?
