Jul 25 04:59:45 oops ^ using the marvell processor Jul 25 05:01:58 i'm on the serial port using gtkterm now i have the directory set Jul 25 05:05:19 the zip files on an x86 won't let me unzip those files because it needs marvell processor Jul 25 05:05:48 i need a work around Jul 25 05:06:57 current prompt is: dreamplug-debian:/media/usb0# Jul 25 05:44:37 errors i recieve are: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Jul 25 05:47:48 the zip files on an x86 won't let me unzip those files because it needs marvell processor Jul 25 05:50:04 or it's partitioned to for use of the marvell processor anyways the unit does not have a unzip program and ubuntu for x86 won't work Jul 25 05:51:31 well maybe i'll work on it again tommorrow :) Jul 25 06:18:49 Hi all Jul 25 06:19:32 where can i find ffmeg for ubuntu-arm natty Jul 25 06:21:58 by xbmc build giving error "checking for FFMPEG... no Jul 25 06:21:58 configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform." Jul 25 07:44:20 morning Jul 25 13:58:58 Hi! I'm trying to run ubuntu on pandaboard and after the boot logo the monitor goes to powersave mode. Do you have any idea what can be the problem? Jul 25 14:09:11 kapinter, what's the message at serial terminal Jul 25 14:11:08 siji: Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. Jul 25 14:11:35 what's your bootarg Jul 25 14:11:35 siji: I can't get the logs... Jul 25 14:12:22 I was trying to setenv serialtty=ttyS2 but no luck Jul 25 14:14:02 do you mean : mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console} vram=${vram} root=${mmcroot} rootfst} Jul 25 14:14:02 loadbootscript=fatload mmc ${mmcdev} ${loadaddr} boot.scr Jul 25 14:14:02 bootscript=echo Running bootscript from mmc${mmcdev} ...; source ${loadaddr} Jul 25 14:14:02 loaduimage=fatload mmc ${mmcdev} ${loadaddr} uImage Jul 25 14:14:10 or how can I check it? Jul 25 14:15:31 do you have any boot.scr at fat32 partition ? Jul 25 14:17:57 let me check Jul 25 14:21:20 yes Jul 25 14:21:26 it says Jul 25 14:21:30 fatload mmc 0:1 0x80000000 uImage Jul 25 14:21:30 fatload mmc 0:1 0x81600000 uInitrd Jul 25 14:21:30 setenv bootargs quiet splash ro elevator=noop vram=32M mem=460M@0x80000000 mem=256M@0xA0000000 root=UUID=9b2c0572-4d5f-43d7-b79b-745f2423fbe6 fixrtc Jul 25 14:21:30 bootm 0x80000000 0x81600000 Jul 25 16:05:47 ogra_, you about? Jul 25 16:10:15 lilstevie: I think he is out on holiday until next week. Jul 25 16:10:42 ah ok Jul 25 16:11:02 well someone else may be able to help me anyway :p Jul 25 16:11:26 I was looking at the flash-kernel stuff for the AC100 Jul 25 16:11:46 and I am just wondering about modifying for my device Jul 25 16:13:10 cause my kernel partition has the potential to be in different partitions Jul 25 16:13:54 like it could be mmcblk0p7 p8 p9 or p10 Jul 25 16:15:37 lilstevie: So, ogra's code ended up picking a specific partition as a convention, rather than giving the user full flexibility. Jul 25 16:16:18 Ideally, you want to have that sit in a configuration file, and either inform the user you put it in some specific place (which depends on the model, the eMMc layout, etc.), and let the user modify it if they want to drop it somewhere else. Jul 25 16:18:10 persia, well given my system I really could do with user config Jul 25 16:18:22 cause like with the whole dual boot thing, Jul 25 16:18:57 persia, so far it is just p9 or p10 Jul 25 16:19:23 Right. So, what you do is when you run the installer, you offer the user the choice of how they want to do it, and then you store their choice in the initial configuration file., Jul 25 16:20:16 but once I start giving the option for pure ubuntu installs that will expand even more Jul 25 16:20:48 so far I am running now with straight ubuntu but android stuff is still in tact :p Jul 25 16:21:26 recovery mode is booting with single appended to the cmdline :p Jul 25 16:32:07 It's really about the installer: I'd recommend using a very flexible architecture (boot from anywhere: so have configuration that specifies all the variables), but try to present the user with choices that are based on something obvious, rather than partition names, and do the right thing. Jul 25 16:32:36 Advanced users can fiddle things to their heart's content. Unsophisticated users can rely on the installer just doing the right thing. Jul 25 16:32:53 well the tegraparts names are set in stone Jul 25 16:33:02 :P Jul 25 16:33:19 LNX and SOS are required by the bootloader to find the kernel and recovery kernel Jul 25 16:41:45 Right, but one can't promise that those are in specific places for a specific marketing name for a device. Jul 25 16:42:27 The translation between eMMc partition numbers and labels differs for different devices called "ac100", and "dynabook az", and any correlation between those groups is additionally accidental. Jul 25 16:44:43 yeah well in this case the Hardware name is ventana Jul 25 16:45:00 which means there could be many many more configs :p Jul 25 18:35:13 janimo: did you test build bug 816053 on amd64 or i386 (figure it's faster than armel)? it'll most likely fail due to the switch to system mozjs Jul 25 18:35:14 Launchpad bug 816053 in oolite "Sync oolite 1.75.3-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/816053 Jul 25 19:54:30 I try to install libc6 but all i get is "dpkg: error processing libc6" - can anyone help? Jul 25 20:04:08 "subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Illegal instruction)" Jul 25 20:06:16 micahg, thanks for the catch, I forwarded the issue to BTS Jul 25 20:06:50 janimo: which issue? Debian won't have mozjs185 so they'll close wontfix Jul 25 20:09:09 micahg, that one, ok. I saw one email thread where it was discussed it could go to experimental.But if they don't it'll get fixed in Ubuntu Jul 25 20:09:50 well, that would be nice if it did end up in experimental Jul 25 20:10:30 * micahg subscribes to the Debian bug Jul 26 02:19:28 Folks: can I buy a laptop or netbook or smartbook or whateveryacallem with ARM CPU and comes with Ubuntu on? Jul 26 02:22:22 zooko i would try the cheap Plug computers @ https://globalscaletechnologies.com/default.aspx Jul 26 02:23:01 Ah, I like those. Got some already! I meant an actual portable thing with a battery, keyboard, wifi, and display. Jul 26 02:23:23 Thanks, though. Jul 26 02:24:07 no but i imagine one can be built problem is, $$$$$$ Jul 26 02:26:36 i have the DreamPlug and i like it but so far can only use the gtkterm on my laptop to access it Jul 26 02:28:31 * zooko nods Jul 26 02:29:23 Efika Smartbook exists Jul 26 02:29:27 And Always Innovating Touchbook Jul 26 02:29:39 Or maybe Always Innovating Smartbook. I think they have two models. Jul 26 02:30:25 the minicom tutorial is a bit too much when the system is already setup and tried to access it through minicom and may have messed up some settings: i check that out Jul 26 02:37:29 the efika looks really nice Jul 26 02:40:06 that's sick i love it Jul 26 02:42:37 now i want one :P Jul 26 02:54:22 and just like that it seems we got an order... :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 26 02:59:56 2011
