Jan 02 09:13:25 <LetoThe2nd> is there some known best practise to build/run the kernel on the pandaboard? to tinker around with changing or experimental peropherals....
Jan 02 11:26:05 <elementary-site0> Hey
Jan 02 11:26:09 <elementary-site0> I need help guys
Jan 02 11:26:14 <elementary-site0> I am so confused :/
Jan 02 11:26:35 <elementary-site0> I want to install an Ubuntu version of ARM to raspberry-pi ARM11
Jan 02 11:26:44 <elementary-site0> and I don't know which?
Jan 02 11:27:08 <elementary-site0> I can see armel-dove and armel-omap version and I don't know the difference or the process of doing it.
Jan 02 11:27:18 <elementary-site0> Anyone?
Jan 02 11:27:50 <elementary-site0> Is any of these the right one http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/ubuntu-releases-dvd/11.10/release/ ?
Jan 02 11:29:39 <amitk> elementary-site0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71828/what-arm-single-board-computers-does-are-supported-by-ubuntu
Jan 02 11:30:53 <elementary-site0> amitk: Hmmm that helped, Thanks. I guess I am stuck with arch linux :/
Jan 02 11:31:03 <elementary-site0> or Debian
Jan 02 11:31:16 <amitk> yes
Jan 02 11:31:38 <elementary-site0> :)
Jan 02 11:31:53 <elementary-site0> They will ship Debian or archlinux cards. nice
Jan 02 11:31:58 <elementary-site0> Thanks amitk
Jan 02 11:32:28 <amitk> elementary-site0: no problem
Jan 02 12:51:41 <LetoThe2nd> is there some known best practise to build/run the kernel on the pandaboard? to tinker around with changing or experimental peripherals.... (platform is a pandaboard)
Jan 02 13:14:14 <ogra_> LetoThe2nd, same procedure as for any other platform running ubuntu ;)
Jan 02 13:14:33 <ogra_> either pull the git tree from kernel.ubuntu.com or use the source package
Jan 02 13:14:48 <ogra_> there should be a few wikipages from the kernel team
Jan 02 13:15:37 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ok, so the standard process will take care of the flashkernel things and such?
Jan 02 13:18:24 <ogra_> LetoThe2nd, as long as you build a deb from either of the above, yes
Jan 02 13:19:58 <ogra_> if you want to do it fully manual just copy vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz-$your_version ... then run sudo update-initramfs -u -k $your_version
Jan 02 13:20:17 <ogra_> update-initramfs runs flash-kernel at the end of its run in this case
Jan 02 13:20:49 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ah ok. but the manual thing is exactly what i do not want... why work around existing mechanisms?
Jan 02 13:21:01 <ogra_> (creating uImage from vmlinuz etc is handled by flash-kernel(
Jan 02 13:21:31 <ogra_> sure, if you feel like rolling a deb every time, do it like that ... it just takes more time
Jan 02 13:21:46 <ogra_> the result will be the same
Jan 02 13:22:04 <LetoThe2nd> thx, will look into it then :)
Jan 02 13:22:08 <ogra_> apart from the fact that dpkg doesnt know about tehz kernel in the manua case indeed
Jan 02 13:22:17 <ogra_> *manual
Jan 02 13:23:19 <LetoThe2nd> yeah. and package management not knowing about things always gives me that icky feeling...
Jan 02 13:24:01 <ogra_> sure sure ... but for quick tests i prefer the manual way... once i have a final solutio i put it into the package as a last step
Jan 02 13:24:09 <ogra_> *solution
Jan 02 13:24:19 * ogra_ wonders where his chars went ....
Jan 02 13:25:59 <LetoThe2nd> i they prolly all transformed to longints.
Jan 02 13:26:38 <ogra_> heh
Jan 02 13:27:31 * ogra_ happily closes his mailer ... ~4000 mails piled up in 10 days of vacation, sigh
Jan 02 13:41:30 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: rm *.mbox
Jan 02 13:42:03 <ogra_> :P
Jan 02 13:42:19 <ndec> ogra_: hi! and happy new year!
Jan 02 13:42:29 <ndec> do you know if our PPA is now armhf enabled?
Jan 02 13:42:30 <ogra_> ndec, same to you !!
Jan 02 13:42:46 <ogra_> ndec, argh, not yet ... will ping you if its done
Jan 02 13:43:22 <ndec> ok. i am testing armhf now, with some luck it might work soon ( i mean the GFX part)
**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 02 13:47:34 2012
Jan 02 13:49:14 <ogra_> ndec, wow, thanks !!
Jan 02 13:54:42 <ndec> you will thank me when it works ;-)
Jan 02 14:53:27 <ndec> ogra_: i have a FS with precise armhf  and GFX seems ok... I am using openbox + xterm + DDK samples applications... not sure I will get more time to test a full desktop, but I could release what I have at least.
Jan 02 14:53:34 <ndec> if my PPA was armhf ;_)
Jan 02 14:53:54 <ogra_> ndec, yeah, IS is pinged but i didnt get an answer yet
Jan 02 14:54:38 <ogra_> does es2gears work ?
Jan 02 14:59:19 <ndec> ogra_: is there a pkg for it?
Jan 02 14:59:56 <suihkulokki> ndec: mesa-utils-extra or something close to that
Jan 02 15:00:08 <ogra_> right
Jan 02 15:00:10 <ndec> thx
Jan 02 15:01:00 <ndec> ogra_: yep. it seems to work. at least I can see a PVR warning...
Jan 02 15:01:10 <ogra_> awesome !
Jan 02 16:04:25 <ogra_> janimo, did you adjust the config to carry the newly enabled erratas in your ac100 upload ?
Jan 02 16:04:37 <ogra_> seems not having the causes hangs after a while
Jan 02 16:14:46 <ndec> ogra_: if i want to build armhf pkg from an armel FS with multi arch, is that supposed to work?
Jan 02 16:15:41 <ogra_> i dont think anyone tested or focused on hf vs el multiarch yet
Jan 02 16:15:57 <ogra_> so it *might* or might not work :)
Jan 02 16:16:42 <ndec> i can try... how do I install a armhf pkg in an armel fs?
Jan 02 16:17:05 <ogra_> iirc dpkg has teh option --foreign=$targetarch
Jan 02 16:17:31 <ogra_> so that would be --foreign=armel on hf ... and the other way round
Jan 02 16:17:54 <ogra_> ah, no
Jan 02 16:18:02 <ogra_> --foreign-architecture architecture
Jan 02 16:18:08 <ogra_> is what the manpage says
Jan 02 16:18:14 <ogra_> no equal sign
Jan 02 17:59:25 <ndec> ogra_: was trying to install metacity in armhf, it seems that libgtk-3-0 installs its stuf in /usr/lib/{triplet}gtk-3.0 now, however I get errors during configure with "Cannot load module /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/*.so". is that expected?
Jan 02 17:59:36 <ndec> i wonder how you can build a desktop image with this..
Jan 02 18:04:09 <ndec> ogra_: nevermind... this is not the root cause of my problem, that seems harmless..
Jan 02 18:04:15 <ndec> i have another problem...
Jan 02 21:59:32 <janimo> ogra_, which newly enabled erratas? I am not aware of any discussion/bug
