Apr 27 06:59:49 <rweber> Problems with USB on beagle board.   In any configuration, I cannot get the beagle board that I have just installed ubuntu onto.  I did have angstrom working the the devices, but for some reason ubuntu can't recognnise them.  I do have a powered usb hub, I have tried it with and without the hub.

Apr 27 07:01:29 <GrueMaster> rweber: What is the mpurate in /proc/cmdline say?
Apr 27 07:02:20 <rweber> I assume you mean on the sd card
Apr 27 07:02:31 <rweber> right?
Apr 27 07:02:54 <GrueMaster> What image are you using?
Apr 27 07:03:55 <rweber> ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img
Apr 27 07:04:07 <GrueMaster> Beta 2?
Apr 27 07:04:33 <rweber> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/
Apr 27 07:04:55 <rweber> Texas instruments omap3 preinstalled images
Apr 27 07:05:10 <rweber> excuse me, preinstalled netbook image
Apr 27 07:05:48 <GrueMaster> Hmmm.  Try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/daily-preinstalled/current/ .  It will be the 11.04 release in a few days.
Apr 27 07:06:15 <rweber> interesting..
Apr 27 07:06:16 <GrueMaster> What rev beagle do you have?
Apr 27 07:06:31 <rweber> firmware.. hardware?
Apr 27 07:06:37 <GrueMaster> Hardware.
Apr 27 07:06:47 <GrueMaster> Shouldn't have any firmware.
Apr 27 07:07:05 <rweber> It says rev B on the box
Apr 27 07:07:16 <rweber> I belive that is the hard ware version
Apr 27 07:07:19 <rweber> .
Apr 27 07:07:20 <GrueMaster> Beagle XM?
Apr 27 07:07:25 <rweber> yep
Apr 27 07:08:02 <GrueMaster> Ah.  Yes, try the newer image.  There was an issue with Maverick (10.10) on the released beagleXM (A3 and later).
Apr 27 07:08:08 <rweber> I checked /proc/  but it was empty.
Apr 27 07:08:43 <GrueMaster> Are you using a keyboard, mouse, and monitor?
Apr 27 07:08:52 <rweber> Indeed I am..
Apr 27 07:09:03 <GrueMaster> Then you should be fine with the 11.04 image.
Apr 27 07:09:19 <rweber> I can see the language selection screen come up, but I can't select anything.
Apr 27 07:09:24 <GrueMaster> I have it running here on my rev B board.
Apr 27 07:09:44 <GrueMaster> Try plugging the keyboard & mouse directly into the board.
Apr 27 07:09:55 <GrueMaster> How are you getting power?
Apr 27 07:10:17 <rweber> K,,  I will try the 11.04 image...  already tried directly.  I am using wall 5v power adapter.
Apr 27 07:10:52 <GrueMaster> Ok.  Wanted to make sure.  You can power the system through the mini-USB port as well, but you loose USB and a lot of other devices.
Apr 27 07:11:35 <GrueMaster> And I read somewhere that they changed the design of the board, flipflopping something in USB EHDI.
Apr 27 07:11:54 <GrueMaster> Changed some gpio or something like that.
Apr 27 07:12:02 <GrueMaster> Should be fine with 11.04 though.
Apr 27 07:13:13 <rweber> do I need to add any files to the image, or just do a ddd
Apr 27 07:13:17 <rweber> *dd
Apr 27 07:13:19 <rweber> ?
Apr 27 07:13:21 <GrueMaster> Just dd.
Apr 27 07:13:40 <GrueMaster> Wouldn't suggest ddd (that is a gui debugger).
Apr 27 07:13:45 <GrueMaster> :P
Apr 27 07:14:11 <GrueMaster> At any rate, the image shouldn't require any tweaking.
Apr 27 07:14:14 <rweber> GUI!??  What's wrong with GDB!?
Apr 27 07:14:41 <GrueMaster> Meh.  There is a gui for anything these days.
Apr 27 07:15:00 <rweber> I actually think that's a good thing.
Apr 27 07:15:35 <GrueMaster> At any rate, it is past midnight here.  I'm out for the next 7+ hours.
Apr 27 07:16:05 <rweber> got it.. It's 1:15 am here.
Apr 27 07:16:15 <GrueMaster> ogra_ should be online soon, if you have any questions.
Apr 27 08:16:28 <ppisati> morning
Apr 27 08:24:38 <rweber> Natty didn't work either.. switching to a different board, same firmware version, fixes the problem... Still no mouse and keyboard on my board though...   Another note, the led's on the ethernet port are not flashing.  So, I guess the usb hub just didn't turn on.  but why, is this a faulty board.
Apr 27 08:25:05 <rweber> *?
Apr 27 08:38:12 <rweber> I think that my board is bad
Apr 27 08:38:28 <rweber> my friends board work's just fine.
Apr 27 12:59:27 <dcordes> It seems that unity in natty, as opposed to netbook-launcher-efl in the maverick release rootfs, doesn't perform too well. I'm looking to a) improve unity ( I have no hardware acceleration available ) or b) replace unity with the old nbl based desktop. Since I'm not sure if a) will work and how to possibly make b) happen I'm looking for any suggestions. Thanks!
Apr 27 13:00:14 <dcordes> Sorry- forgot to add '...doesn't perform too well on my device' .. which is not an officially supported one!
Apr 27 13:00:23 * ogra_ thinks unity-2d performs actually lots better than the efl launcher
Apr 27 13:00:47 <ogra_> i'm using it here on my tegra as my main work env
Apr 27 13:01:22 <ogra_> you should also note that the efl launcher is completely unmaintained atm
Apr 27 13:01:39 <ogra_> i dont think anyone has even tried to run it in natty yet
Apr 27 13:02:11 <rsalveti> at beagle it also works better than nl-efl
Apr 27 13:02:57 <dcordes> Thanks for the rapid reply guys. I have tried the omap4 rootfs as base. Does it have non-2d configured as default ?
Apr 27 13:09:45 <dcordes> ok it seems that I do run 2d
Apr 27 13:09:51 <rsalveti> robclark: https://launchpad.net/~rsalveti/+archive/unity-3d-gles/

Apr 27 13:10:09 <robclark> rsalveti, woohoo
Apr 27 13:10:16 <rsalveti> robclark: install compiz-core and compiz-gnome
Apr 27 13:10:34 <rsalveti> robclark: open unity-2d and start compiz as "# compiz --replace composite opengl move resize decor"
Apr 27 13:10:53 <robclark> ok.. will give it a try when I get to point of having a working driver again
Apr 27 13:11:03 <rsalveti> robclark: for now just compiz, nux still on going at linaro :-)
Apr 27 13:11:10 <robclark> cool
Apr 27 13:15:06 <dcordes> ogra_: it's strange- soon as there is any animation, it will flicker heavily
Apr 27 13:15:24 <dcordes> it's not that it's too slow, it's just distorted
Apr 27 13:21:22 <dcordes> aha there is Bug #726151

Apr 27 13:25:12 <dcordes> ogra_: are there any differences in omap3 vs omap4 image regarding unity ?
Apr 27 13:25:26 <rsalveti> dcordes: nops, should behave the same
Apr 27 13:25:34 <dcordes> ok then I have no clue what to try.
Apr 27 13:25:42 <dcordes> the bug above seems to be a different flickering problem
Apr 27 13:26:04 <dcordes> it might be related to poor fb driver
Apr 27 13:26:13 <dcordes> all I know is nbl efl works well with it
Apr 27 13:50:13 <dcordes> lilstevie: how do you circumvent lack of osk in maverick then ?
Apr 27 13:50:25 <dcordes> lilstevie: the maverick rootfs I use also have oem-config
Apr 27 13:50:42 <lilstevie> dcordes: I made my rootfs with rootstock
Apr 27 13:51:18 <dcordes> ah I see. I never succeeded to complete a full ubuntu-netbook maverick rootfs with rootstock
Apr 27 13:51:31 <dcordes> did you apply any workarounds ?
Apr 27 13:51:32 <lilstevie> I didn't build a full image
Apr 27 13:51:42 <lilstevie> I built a minimal system
Apr 27 13:51:57 <dcordes> ok that works for me as well
Apr 27 13:52:00 <ogra_> netbook with rootstock should work in natty though
Apr 27 13:52:01 <lilstevie> used an init.d script to bring the wifi online
Apr 27 13:52:11 <lilstevie> then built the rest of the image on the deviec
Apr 27 13:52:13 <lilstevie> device
Apr 27 13:52:27 <dcordes> ogra_: aha that's interesting. would it give me netbook-launcher-efl ?
Apr 27 13:52:27 <ogra_> we changed to a different qemu
Apr 27 13:52:33 <ogra_> no
Apr 27 13:52:46 <ogra_> ubuntu-netbook is what we use for our images, it has unity-2d
Apr 27 13:53:00 <lilstevie> natty introduces unity-2d for arm
Apr 27 13:53:08 <ogra_> right
Apr 27 13:53:24 <dcordes> lilstevie: check above. I have problem with unity-2d graphical glitching on my device
Apr 27 13:54:23 <dcordes> ogra_: despite from netbook-launcher-efl being unmaintained it would be a good solution to install it in natty instead of using maverick
Apr 27 13:54:51 <ogra_>  ?
Apr 27 13:55:21 <dcordes> ogra_: earlier you mentioned nbl-efl is unmaintained
Apr 27 13:55:47 <ogra_> yes, to what would installing the unmaintained (and totally untesteda) efl launcher be a solution ?
Apr 27 13:56:17 <dcordes> to the unusable unity-2d
Apr 27 13:56:59 <ogra_> how about finding out why it is unusable on your HW and fix that instead ?
Apr 27 13:57:06 <dcordes> that would be nicer
Apr 27 13:57:23 <ogra_> what kind of graphics driver do you use there ?
Apr 27 13:57:31 <dcordes> msm_fb
Apr 27 13:57:39 <ogra_> it is definitely happy on all my arm devices with framebuffer
Apr 27 13:57:40 <dcordes> xf86-video-fbdev
Apr 27 13:58:16 <dcordes> mhm I listened up when you said you are using it on the tegra
Apr 27 13:58:29 <ogra_> and its a lot snappier than efl ever was
Apr 27 13:58:35 <dcordes> it would be interesting to see if it works for lilstevie's glaxy tab
Apr 27 13:58:39 <ogra_> yup, i currently type on my ac100
Apr 27 13:58:43 <dcordes> I believe so..
Apr 27 13:59:22 <lilstevie> I don't see why it would be glitching on mine
Apr 27 14:00:40 <dcordes> lilstevie: did you check the option to run 'DISPLAY=:0 onboard' from some script around the oem-config start process ?
Apr 27 14:00:50 <dcordes> maybe timed
Apr 27 14:00:56 <lilstevie> not yet
Apr 27 14:01:19 <dcordes> it brings me perfectly well through the oem-config process on my device (starting that remotely, not via script)
Apr 27 14:02:19 <dcordes> ogra_: I have seen fb problems here and now in maverick too
Apr 27 14:02:33 <dcordes> ogra_: ignorable, much smaller glitches
Apr 27 14:02:48 <dcordes> ogra_: is unity-2d also based on the enlightenment libraries ?
Apr 27 14:31:52 <ppisati> any openocd guru around?
Apr 27 14:38:23 <rweber> no usb support on beagleboard,... does any one else have this problem?
Apr 27 14:39:16 <apw> rsalveti, i haven't seen any bug for that arm issue in the kernel?  frequency?
Apr 27 14:39:59 <rsalveti> apw: sorry, I'm just testing the possible fix, but the bug was filled already, one sec
Apr 27 14:40:23 <rsalveti> apw: bug 771537

Apr 27 14:41:21 <rsalveti> rweber: what board are you using?
Apr 27 14:41:31 <rweber> beagle xm
Apr 27 14:41:45 <rweber> revision B
Apr 27 14:41:45 <rsalveti> apw: the fix will make xM run at 800mhz instead of 600mhz, and it's already upstream
Apr 27 14:42:07 <apw> i thought they did 1G ?
Apr 27 14:42:09 <rsalveti> apw: I'm just rebooting the machine to test, and will put the pull request at the bug
Apr 27 14:42:12 <GrueMaster> rweber: How did the 11.04 install go?
Apr 27 14:42:13 <apw> ok
Apr 27 14:42:49 <rsalveti> apw: they do, but we can't safely enable it now, as it needs smart reflex class 1.5 and ABB
Apr 27 14:42:58 <rsalveti> and both are not yet implemented upstream
Apr 27 14:43:04 <rsalveti> they were only at ti's 2.6.32 kernel
Apr 27 14:43:08 <rweber> just as badly... however swtiching the board to a different one fixed the problem... the issue now is that I will have to say goodbye to this board as it does not belong to me.
Apr 27 14:43:39 <GrueMaster> May have been a board issue then.
Apr 27 14:43:57 <rweber> most  likely.
Apr 27 14:45:32 <rweber> I think that I will test it with my angstrom distribution, and if that works.  Send it into beagle board for evaluation.
Apr 27 14:46:37 <rsalveti> rweber: yeah, would say the same
Apr 27 15:00:14 <dcordes> is there something like packages.ubuntu.com for arm ?
Apr 27 15:01:57 <rsalveti> dcordes: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/
Apr 27 15:03:33 <dcordes> http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/n/netbook-launcher-efl/netbook-launcher-efl_0.3.2-0ubuntu6_armel.deb yippie
Apr 27 15:03:38 <dcordes> rsalveti: thanks
Apr 27 15:12:44 <dcordes> seems like it will be a larger scaled project than I thought to install netbook-launcher-efl in natty
Apr 27 15:16:46 <dcordes> all the e libs are missing in natty.
Apr 27 15:34:09 <sveinse> The system I'm building (it's specific and not generic, so the user cannot install packages manually), I need to setup a set of /etc files, like /etc/fstab or ld.so.conf.d/ and so on. Would it be best to create a config debian package that provides these files, or should they simply be edited outside debs? What is "best" in lieu with debian/ubuntu policy?
Apr 27 15:47:52 <GrueMaster> rsalveti: Do you have an N900?  Have you tried the natty image on it?
Apr 27 15:48:24 <rsalveti> GrueMaster: not yet
Apr 27 15:51:00 <GrueMaster> Wow, these things are expensive.  $350-$400 on ebay.
Apr 27 16:54:54 <rweber> just as a side note..  Natty seems to be running really slow..
Apr 27 16:57:26 <ogra_> rweber, on what ?
Apr 27 16:57:50 <ogra_> and which parts of the system :)
Apr 27 16:59:16 <rweber> beagle board xm.  everything.
Apr 27 16:59:33 <rweber> 10 + just to boot up.
Apr 27 16:59:40 <rweber> minutes that is.
Apr 27 16:59:58 <GrueMaster> There are two underlying factors to this:  SD card speed and mpurate.
Apr 27 17:00:07 <ogra_> ah, you might be bitten by bug 771537
Apr 27 17:00:09 <ubot2> Launchpad bug 771537 in linux "mpurate=1000 fails on beagleXM" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/771537
Apr 27 17:00:35 <GrueMaster> The mpurate can be worked around.  Edit /boot/boot.script and change mpurate to 900, then rerun flash-kernel.
Apr 27 17:00:38 <ogra_> try setting mpurate to 900 in /boot/boot.script
Apr 27 17:00:46 <ogra_> and run sudo flash-kernel afterwards
Apr 27 17:01:01 <ogra_> on next boot it should run at 900MHz instead of 600
Apr 27 17:01:13 <GrueMaster> For the SD card issue, I have found that the larger the card, the slower it works.
Apr 27 17:01:46 <ogra_> well, the 4k alignment will help in oneiric ... janimo will save us :)
Apr 27 17:03:16 <ogra_> err 4M :P
Apr 27 17:04:15 <GrueMaster> Actually, I think you were right the first time.
Apr 27 17:04:25 <ogra_> heh, yeah
Apr 27 17:06:29 <janimo> ogra, I just wsh I had gotten that 4M fix right first time I tried it, and we'd have it for natty too
Apr 27 17:06:48 <rweber> great, so I have 1 beagle board that is operating at half cpu speed and another with no USB support.
Apr 27 17:06:58 <ogra_> janimo, yeah, i even had a request from ndec for that
Apr 27 17:07:16 <ogra_> (which i havent answered yet because its a shame that we didnt get to it)
Apr 27 17:07:44 <ogra_> rweber, well, the cpu speed thing is a matter of one reboot
Apr 27 17:09:48 <GrueMaster> rweber: and there is a kernel fix being tested now.  Should be in updates shortly after release.
Apr 27 17:10:33 <ogra_> that will even allow a full GHz
Apr 27 17:17:40 <rweber> k I edited the boot/boot.script to be 900 instead of 1000
Apr 27 17:18:59 <rweber> how do I make sure that the card is 4M aligned?
Apr 27 17:19:37 <ogra_> you cant
Apr 27 17:19:50 <ogra_> well, you can but you need to repartition and reformat
Apr 27 17:20:45 <rweber> if it's actually a block alignment problem.  I think that hitachi came out with some tools to fix that.
Apr 27 17:20:54 <rweber> I will look into that.
Apr 27 17:22:16 <rweber> nm... the tool only works on windows.
Apr 27 17:26:00 <rweber> Still slower than spit!
Apr 27 17:40:55 <rsalveti> ogra: rweber: you can got until 1000, but it's not safe
Apr 27 17:41:08 <rsalveti> upstream recommends you to use 800mhz
Apr 27 17:41:18 <rsalveti> but it's your call :-)
Apr 27 17:41:40 <rsalveti> if the board is booting and working fine, probably not an issue
Apr 27 17:47:37 <rweber> I went to 900
Apr 27 17:47:54 <rweber> it's just still pretty slow.
Apr 27 18:08:01 <ericb2> hello
Apr 27 18:08:17 <ericb2> GrueMaster: FYI, I tested mpurate=900
Apr 27 18:08:29 <ericb2> GrueMaster: it works (no problem so far)
Apr 27 18:08:34 <GrueMaster> Cool
Apr 27 18:08:53 <ericb2> GrueMaster: in fact, I prefered change for Ubuntu classic, and thingds are faster
Apr 27 18:09:07 <ericb2> maybe the new UI is not optimized, or something like that
Apr 27 18:09:26 <ericb2> GrueMaster: the sound does not work
Apr 27 18:09:42 <ericb2> GrueMaster: at least what I tested  (alsamixer didn't help)
Apr 27 18:10:57 <ericb2> nor esd nor sox work. I can read .ogg files, but can't hear anything
Apr 27 18:12:48 <GrueMaster> ericb2: in alsamixer, you need to unmute the HeadsetL mixer AudioL2 and HeadsetR mixer AudioR2, then set Headset volume to +50 (mine is at 63).
Apr 27 18:14:14 <GrueMaster> Audio should sound fine then.  I have played several cd's worth of ogg files in banshee without issue after setting those controls.
Apr 27 18:15:04 <GrueMaster> I hope to get a UCM configuration for the beagle/beaglexm systems soon as an SRU update post-release.
Apr 27 18:17:33 <ericb2> GrueMaster: strange, I got 00 and cannot change
Apr 27 18:17:54 <ericb2> Carkit has 63, other are 00
Apr 27 18:18:06 <ericb2> page up/down does nothing ..
Apr 27 18:19:28 <ericb2> GrueMaster: entering S, I have the choice between  : -  (defaut)   or  0 omap3beagle or "enter the device name.. "
Apr 27 18:20:37 <GrueMaster> Use right and left arrows to select the channel you wish to modify, M to mute/unmute, and up/down to change volume.
Apr 27 18:20:57 <ericb2> GrueMaster: that's what I did. Looks like the device is not correct
Apr 27 18:22:06 <GrueMaster> You are on a beaglexm, right?
Apr 27 18:22:59 <ericb2> GrueMaster: I am. And when I tried to play a sound, I lost the colors, and had to disconnect / connect me again
Apr 27 18:23:18 <GrueMaster> Which image?
Apr 27 18:23:23 <ericb2> GrueMaster: yes, looks like something goes wrong
Apr 27 18:23:35 <ericb2> GrueMaster: background, all icons and so on
Apr 27 18:23:54 <ericb2> ouch ... ext3-fs error ... I need to rebot I fear
Apr 27 18:24:39 <ericb2> maybe an sd issue
Apr 27 18:24:43 <GrueMaster> Is this Maverick or Natty?  Netbook or headless?  Are you on a console or remotely logging in?
Apr 27 18:24:58 <ericb2> GrueMaster: natty. The image you gave me the URL  yesterday
Apr 27 18:24:59 <GrueMaster> As to the ext3 error, may be an sd issue.
Apr 27 18:25:06 <GrueMaster> Ok.
Apr 27 18:25:34 * GrueMaster has had several conversations on several other channels and sometimes loses track).  :P
Apr 27 20:51:17 <danger89> I try to run Ubuntu 10.04 ARM on igepv2 board, however at the end of the boot process I only see a blinking white line. Please can somebody help me? Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4W4g8qNhqI Syslog: http://igep.es/images/fbfiles/files/syslog-20110427.txt and Kern log: http://igep.es/images/fbfiles/files/kern.txt
Apr 27 20:52:08 <danger89> (I used the latest stable kernel from igepv2 git)
Apr 27 20:55:54 <danger89> followed the guide: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/
Apr 27 20:59:34 <GrueMaster> danger89: Have you tried a newer image like 10.10 or the soon-to-be released 11.04?
Apr 27 20:59:56 <GrueMaster> Omap3 support on Lucid was a tech preview only.
Apr 27 20:59:59 <danger89> GrueMaster: yes 10.10 hanged on the installer
Apr 27 21:00:54 <danger89> GrueMaster: not tried 11.04. However 10.04 should just works, atleast there is much proof it work wih other people using igepv2 hardware board
Apr 27 21:09:48 <danger89> Any ideas?
Apr 27 21:10:04 <danger89> i'm really stuck
Apr 27 21:10:09 <GrueMaster> Sorry, no.  I only have beagleboards and panda boards.
Apr 27 21:20:16 <comradekingu> danger89: So you got it installed, but it hangs after bootloader?
Apr 27 21:20:30 <danger89> comradekingu: hi :)
Apr 27 21:21:34 <danger89> comradekingu: yes I setup the bootfs & rootfs. Seems to boot just fine, and hangs after the kernel is loaded or almost at the end of the kernel load.
Apr 27 21:21:59 <danger89> ..then it stops booting
Apr 27 21:22:17 <GrueMaster> danger89: I forgot to ask, do you have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor attached or are you running console via serial port?
Apr 27 21:22:58 <danger89> GrueMaster: Currectly I do not have a keyboard, or mouse. Then I have a monitor attachted check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4W4g8qNhqI
Apr 27 21:23:55 <danger89> GrueMaster: badly is I can't get serial output currently. I yea know it sucks. I got all the right settings for the serial debug but I guess the laptop com-port is broken
Apr 27 21:24:34 <GrueMaster> May need a serial null-modem cable for that.
Apr 27 21:24:39 <GrueMaster> Not sure.
Apr 27 21:25:17 <danger89> GrueMaster: no the cable just works. On another PC, which is currenctly not avaible right now.. i'm really sorry
Apr 27 21:25:46 <danger89> however I guess the syslog is almost the same as the debug on serial:
Apr 27 21:26:11 <danger89> which will look like this: http://pastebin.com/Wr5g4Nj3
Apr 27 21:26:31 <GrueMaster> No, the reason I asked is that I often see users trying to run our earlier images with only serial console and no monitor.
Apr 27 21:27:07 <GrueMaster> Until now, our releases were standalone.  We now have a headless image that you configure through the serial port.
Apr 27 21:30:17 <comradekingu> danger89: ureadahead reads from disk into memory. Google seems to think placing /var on a separate partition may cause it
Apr 27 21:30:34 <danger89> GrueMaster: I got dvi (hdmi) output signal
Apr 27 21:30:50 <comradekingu> Or otherwise something wrong in /etc/fstab in relation to uids or paths
Apr 27 21:31:12 <danger89> comradekingu: /var is on the same rootfs
Apr 27 21:31:28 <danger89> comradekingu: /etc/fstab is only default value (like red hat)
Apr 27 21:32:27 <danger89> let me pastbin the fstab ok?
Apr 27 21:32:46 <comradekingu> might be broken memory, seems like the mount went ok
Apr 27 21:34:38 <danger89> comradekingu: you mean the igepv2 memory ór... the sd-card?
Apr 27 21:35:18 <danger89> comradekingu: fstab: http://pastebin.com/NUhY1jp4
Apr 27 21:35:48 <danger89> comradekingu: can you be more clairy about which memory could be broken you think? Or beter how to solve it
Apr 27 21:37:05 <comradekingu> well the system memory, im guessing
Apr 27 21:37:13 <comradekingu> Could be the card too
Apr 27 21:37:52 <danger89> comradekingu: same card did work using debian for arm
Apr 27 21:40:21 <danger89> comradekingu: http://free-electrons.com/pub/ubuntu/armel-rootfs-201006102239.tgz http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/
Apr 27 21:40:31 <danger89> comradekingu: I used that tgz for my rootfs
Apr 27 21:41:05 <comradekingu> Im using debian for arm, works
Apr 27 21:41:41 <danger89> yea hre too kind of, however I got problems with Quanta Touch driver that is why I want to try Ubuntu
Apr 27 21:41:49 <danger89> using the latest git kernel
Apr 27 21:42:07 <danger89> of igep
Apr 27 21:42:37 <danger89> comradekingu: should I check somehow for broken parts on my SD card :S?
Apr 27 21:44:19 <comradekingu> danger89: No, if debian works thats not it
Apr 27 21:44:21 <comradekingu> sudo ureadahead --force-trace --debug
Apr 27 21:44:23 <comradekingu> try that
Apr 27 21:44:36 <danger89> i can't get into the terminal?
Apr 27 21:44:51 <comradekingu> Isnt that what it drops you at
Apr 27 21:45:04 <danger89> or when should I type that line?
Apr 27 21:45:10 <danger89> no that is the whole problem
Apr 27 21:45:17 <danger89> I only see a blinking white line
Apr 27 21:45:37 <danger89> if I got into a terminal I would be very happy
Apr 27 21:46:20 <comradekingu> Is it a armv5 board?
Apr 27 21:46:56 <danger89> you say? http://www.igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=55
Apr 27 21:48:08 <danger89> comradekingu: i can search up the exactly arm
Apr 27 21:48:13 <danger89> type..
Apr 27 21:49:44 <comradekingu> nvm, that wasnt it
Apr 27 21:50:11 <danger89> ok
Apr 27 21:50:25 <danger89> it's atleast a OMAP3
Apr 27 21:51:51 <danger89> I just followed the guide on free-electrons: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/
Apr 27 21:52:39 <danger89> only I use the latest git checkout (linux kernel)
Apr 27 21:52:48 <danger89> get the right .config
Apr 27 21:52:56 <danger89> making the uImage when just OK
Apr 27 21:53:16 <danger89> modules & firmware also
Apr 27 21:53:51 <danger89> Once you have built the rootfs or downloaded the armel-rootfs.tgz file you will need to disable the ureadahead daemon or your igep will just stall half way through the boot process. This is ok because ureadahead is actually for booting from a spinning hard disk not an SSD To disable it you can go into /etc/init on your rootfs and rename the ureadahead.conf to ureadahead.disabled  Also when you are copying the file /etc/init/tty
Apr 27 21:54:02 <danger89> how you see that? on the comment: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/ (below)
Apr 27 21:54:35 <danger89> so damn the solution was all the time on that same page I guess :|
Apr 27 21:54:44 <danger89> let me try it...
Apr 27 21:59:43 <danger89> comradekingu: it seems to solve that issue, but still ends with a blinking white line :( I will upload the sys again
Apr 27 22:01:46 <sveinse> danger89: We're booting from uSD card on omap3. You say it's better for performace to stop the ureadahead service?
Apr 27 22:03:07 <danger89> no I do not say it's better for performance, I will quote this line from ryan "Once you have built the rootfs or downloaded the armel-rootfs.tgz file you will need to disable the ureadahead daemon or your igep will just stall half way through the boot process. This is ok because ureadahead is actually for booting from a spinning hard disk not an SSD"
Apr 27 22:03:20 <danger89> sveinse: which you can read on this page: http://free-electrons.com/blog/ubuntu-1004-igepv2/
Apr 27 22:03:51 <sveinse> ah, it was a quote
Apr 27 22:04:41 <danger89> sveinse:  comradekingu http://pastebin.com/f5BpSDub current syslog
Apr 27 22:05:23 <danger89> ow I see also the message below that: ....so your new ttyS2 file should look like exec /sbin/getty -8 115200 ttyS2...
Apr 27 22:05:30 <danger89> I will try that now too
Apr 27 22:05:42 <danger89> comradekingu: hopefully I can have serial debug output again
Apr 27 22:07:22 <sveinse> is it ttyS2 on this kernel?  Because at some point, they swictced to ttyO2. <wild speculation>newer than 2.6.36?</wild speculation>
Apr 27 22:07:51 <sveinse> seems so from the logs
Apr 27 22:08:46 <sveinse> Well... Quoting "The amazing graphical capabilities of the OMAP chip"
Apr 27 22:09:23 <sveinse> Hmm. Not to sure about that. We're using 3530, and we're working hard to get _sufficient_ performace out of Qt on QWS
Apr 27 22:10:39 <sveinse> It's amazing if everyting renders in OpenGL, but I haven't seen any (2D) widget graphics system what uses it fully. And X11 is not full accelerated either, iirc
Apr 27 22:12:18 <danger89> sveinse: The latest kernel from the igepv2 git is: v2.6.35.11
Apr 27 22:13:20 <danger89> that is also the version I use currently
Apr 27 22:13:29 <sveinse> well... its off to bed
Apr 27 22:13:37 <sveinse> night
Apr 27 22:13:54 <danger89> night
Apr 27 22:14:32 <sveinse> and oh, the logs you pasted are using ttyS2...
Apr 27 22:14:54 <danger89> comradekingu: The latest log I got is: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=f5BpSDub Still blinking white line at the end. Too bad my com-port is not working on my laptop
Apr 27 22:15:04 <danger89> <-- syslog
Apr 27 22:15:47 <danger89> comradekingu: maybe it hangs on the libertas driver?
Apr 27 22:16:04 <danger89> used for the onboard wifi chip from Marvell
Apr 27 22:16:31 <danger89> or plymouth-splash main process (3166) terminated with status 2 could be a problem
Apr 27 22:17:37 <danger89> I'm not overacting but we are currently getting to work this for about 1,5 month :( Just want to boot Ubuntu from igepv2 with Quanta touch driver
Apr 27 22:17:55 <danger89> trying to *
Apr 27 22:18:41 <danger89> we already tried the netboot arm port, the ubuntu 10.10 arm, debian arm and now the ubuntu 10.04
Apr 27 22:19:13 <danger89> (that was a little bit off-topic)
Apr 28 01:08:21 <rweber> UBUNTU, and all linux not detecting usb.....  BEAGLEBOARD.. Works at first, but then after a little while stops working.
Apr 28 01:09:54 <GrueMaster> rweber: Is this happening on both of your boards? (or am I thinking of someone else).
Apr 28 01:10:32 <GrueMaster> Also, what hardware (specific rev) and what image (specific release or daily build info).
