**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 03 02:59:57 2012
Jan 03 12:03:41 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ping
Jan 03 12:03:49 <ogra_> yep
Jan 03 12:04:44 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: finally got around to build a pandaboard kernel as we talked yesterday. for simplicity, just using direct copy, but update-initramfs fails:
Jan 03 12:04:52 <LetoThe2nd> Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-rc7-carthag+ does not match your subarchitecture
Jan 03 12:05:28 <ogra_> why the + ?
Jan 03 12:05:40 <ogra_> add -omap4 instead :)
Jan 03 12:05:43 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: no idea where it comes from.
Jan 03 12:05:58 <ogra_> juat cp the file
Jan 03 12:06:03 <ogra_> just
Jan 03 12:06:17 <LetoThe2nd> CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=-carthag
Jan 03 12:07:41 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: make modules_install tells me the kernel itself believes it has to be called "+": DEPMOD  3.2.0-rc7-carthag+
Jan 03 12:08:28 <ogra_> well, the + seems odd
Jan 03 12:09:09 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: yes, but the first part (searching modules) of update-initramfs only works if you keep the +
Jan 03 12:09:21 <ogra_> k
Jan 03 12:09:35 <ogra_> add omap4 to the localversion though ...
Jan 03 12:10:34 <LetoThe2nd> set to -carthag-omap4 now
Jan 03 12:10:47 <ogra_> k
Jan 03 12:11:51 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: BTW, it is the tilt kernel from linaro that rsalveti pointed me to.
Jan 03 12:12:42 <ogra_> there should be debs of it already
Jan 03 12:13:03 <ogra_> and i think the ubuntu distro kernel is based on that branch (with ubuntu sauce on top though)
Jan 03 12:13:08 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: i can't change the platform config in deb files ;)
Jan 03 12:15:36 <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: just for clarity: i use arch/arm/boot/zImage as the vmlinuz?
Jan 03 12:15:46 <ogra_> yep
Jan 03 12:16:30 <ogra_> update.initramfs is a script btw, you could also use a txt file as vmlinuz, it doesnt care
Jan 03 12:17:49 <LetoThe2nd> now modules_install says DEPMOD  3.2.0-rc7-carthag-omap4+
Jan 03 12:21:44 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: guess that's a problem with flash-kernel
Jan 03 12:22:05 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: but where does that "+" come from in the first line?
Jan 03 12:22:16 <rsalveti> that requires the filename to end up with -omap or something similar
Jan 03 12:22:36 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: guess that's part of the kernel scripts to generate the deb file
Jan 03 12:22:51 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: i'm not creating a deb, just dumb make.
Jan 03 12:23:26 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: that's interesting
Jan 03 12:23:41 <rsalveti> let me check here
Jan 03 12:23:54 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: its the most simple use case. native build on the panda with make.
Jan 03 12:25:07 <LetoThe2nd> BTW: how to git pull while i'm on the remote tilt-tracking?
Jan 03 12:29:03 <LetoThe2nd> ah, git pull origin tilt-tracking says up-to-date.
Jan 03 12:40:30 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: here I'm still pulling the branch
Jan 03 12:41:01 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: no need to hurry, i'm playing skyrim in the meanwhile ;)
Jan 03 12:41:14 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: haha :-)
Jan 03 12:41:40 * LetoThe2nd is on vacation
Jan 03 13:05:12 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: yup, seems it adds + by default at the kernel name
Jan 03 13:05:29 <rsalveti> let me check the config options
Jan 03 14:38:23 <rsalveti> LetoThe2nd: # If CONFIG_KALLSYMS is set .version is already updated
Jan 03 14:38:28 <rsalveti> # Use + in front of the vmlinux_version rule to silent warning with make -j2
Jan 03 14:38:33 <rsalveti> from Makefile
Jan 03 14:39:39 <rsalveti> but could also be related with kernelrelease or linux_version_code
Jan 03 14:40:08 <rsalveti> probably something saying the kernel is the tag+ a few patches
Jan 03 14:40:56 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti: yeah, that was also my first guess.
Jan 03 16:38:15 <doko> GrueMaster, about bug 903695, what is needed to get the "Verification-testing" done?
Jan 03 16:38:15 <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 903695 in kernel-sru-workflow/verification-testing "linux-ti-omap4: 3.0.0-1206.14 -proposed tracker" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/903695
Jan 03 16:39:56 <GrueMaster> Doko:  Regression-testing 	Fix Released  Undecided   Tobin Davis
Jan 03 16:40:15 <GrueMaster> that means I have already tested it and blessed it from my side.  Not up to me now.
Jan 03 16:41:19 <GrueMaster> Looks like it still needs sign-off from the ubuntu-armel-kernel team and the Canonical Security team.
Jan 03 16:41:48 <GrueMaster> Like I said two weeks ago, I am hardly the bottleneck on these SRU kernels.
Jan 03 16:45:03 <doko> GrueMaster, I'm just getting used to this "processes"
Jan 03 16:45:35 <GrueMaster> doko:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/kernel-sru-workflow
Jan 03 16:46:20 <doko> ppisati, ^^^ looks to be your task ;-) there's only one member in the team
Jan 03 16:52:44 <ppisati> doko: nope, sru team
Jan 03 16:53:12 <doko> ppisati, confused, you're the only member in this team
Jan 03 16:56:05 <GrueMaster> Is it me or is launchpad being extremely slow?
Jan 03 17:31:23 <GrueMaster> ppisati: I'm getting ready to fire some bugs your way for precise omap4 kernel.
Jan 03 19:44:18 <dogan> hi
Jan 03 19:44:28 <dogan> can someone help me about configuring a new sd-card
Jan 03 19:44:31 <dogan> ?
Jan 03 19:44:36 <dogan> for ubuntu
Jan 03 19:45:00 <GrueMaster> dogan: What are you trying to do?
Jan 03 19:45:31 <dogan> thanks for reply :)
Jan 03 19:46:07 <dogan> first i want to know difference between maverick and narwhall distros?
Jan 03 19:46:38 <GrueMaster> Erm, lots?  What platform are you using?  Panda?
Jan 03 19:46:44 <dogan> yep
Jan 03 19:46:48 <dogan> Pandaboard
Jan 03 19:46:52 <dogan> just got it
Jan 03 19:47:15 <dogan> i want to work on a pay tv application
Jan 03 19:47:24 <GrueMaster> I would recommend Oneiric (11.10).  It is more tuned, and will more than likely support your board (if it is newer).
Jan 03 19:47:25 <dogan> which distro has more multimedia options for example...
Jan 03 19:47:49 <dogan> oneiric
Jan 03 19:47:50 <dogan> ok
Jan 03 19:48:12 <dogan> pls wait, i am checking the prebuild binaries
Jan 03 19:48:25 <GrueMaster> Yes, Oneiric.  What rev board are you using?
Jan 03 19:48:49 <dogan> REV A
Jan 03 19:49:03 <dogan> is it good or bad?
Jan 03 19:49:10 <GrueMaster> 4430 or 4460?
Jan 03 19:49:28 <GrueMaster> (Rev A doesn't tell me much).
Jan 03 19:49:31 <dogan> the serial number starts with 4430 so it is 4430 i think...
Jan 03 19:49:41 <GrueMaster> Ok.
Jan 03 19:49:52 <dogan> U4430500...
Jan 03 19:50:12 <GrueMaster> Not sure how the serial number thing works.
Jan 03 19:50:14 <dogan> are there bugs? on old version?
Jan 03 19:50:25 <dogan> let me check the retail box label...
Jan 03 19:50:36 <GrueMaster> Biggest issue is supporting newer rev boards.
Jan 03 19:50:45 <dogan> hım
Jan 03 19:50:50 <dogan> i see
Jan 03 19:50:54 <dogan> yes it is 4430
Jan 03 19:51:04 <dogan> so it is good for compatibility... right?
Jan 03 19:51:07 <GrueMaster> As sometimes the boards ship before we can get support in the u-boot/kernel.
Jan 03 19:51:13 <GrueMaster> Oneiric should suit your needs well.
Jan 03 19:51:20 <dogan> fine thanks
Jan 03 19:51:43 <GrueMaster> I tested it on A1, A2, and A3 (all of the known shipping 4430 revs).
Jan 03 19:52:08 <dogan>     Natty Narwhal (11.04) Netbook Installation Instructions
Jan 03 19:52:08 <dogan>     Natty Narwhal (11.04) Headless Installation Instructions
Jan 03 19:52:08 <dogan>     Maverick Meerkat (10.10) Netbook Installation Instructions
Jan 03 19:52:15 <dogan> what are these so?
Jan 03 19:52:18 <dogan> bootloaders?
Jan 03 19:54:03 <GrueMaster> They are different spins.  Maverick and Natty are 10.10 and 11.04 ubuntu releases.  Headless is exactly that, it runs w/o keyboard/monitor.  Netbook was what we were shipping prior to Oneiric, when the x86 netbook & desktop images converged.
Jan 03 19:54:36 <dogan> so for pandaboard maverick is right choice?
Jan 03 19:54:51 <GrueMaster> Oneiric desktop installation will be identical to the Netbook release instructions as far as creating a bootable SD.
Jan 03 19:55:14 <dogan> so what am i suppose to do for panda?
Jan 03 19:55:18 <GrueMaster> No, use Oneiric.  Maverick was the first release for that platform, and only works on early rev boards.
Jan 03 19:55:31 <dogan> and win32diskimager works for me?
Jan 03 19:55:50 <dogan> ha ok these are old distros...
Jan 03 19:55:56 <dogan> i see
Jan 03 19:55:56 <GrueMaster> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img.gz
Jan 03 19:56:04 <dogan> so i downloaded oneiric
Jan 03 19:56:19 <dogan> can i use win32diskimager for writing to my sd?
Jan 03 19:56:36 <GrueMaster> win32-image-writer will work if you are using windows.  I just released v0.4 yesterday.
Jan 03 19:56:49 <dogan> fine dude trying now :)
Jan 03 19:56:49 <GrueMaster> And I tested it quite extensively.
Jan 03 19:57:06 <dogan> outstanding :)
Jan 03 19:58:16 <dogan> GrueMaster:is it a .net application?
Jan 03 19:58:32 <GrueMaster> No, it is a QT application.
Jan 03 19:58:43 <dogan> himmm ok
Jan 03 19:59:19 <GrueMaster> The binary zip file has everything you need.  Just make sure your path includes "." so that it will pull the dll files from the program directory.
Jan 03 20:00:43 <GrueMaster> I don't have an installer for the program, so you just need to extract everything to one directory.  Then just double click on the .exe
Jan 03 20:01:53 <GrueMaster> A lot of pain went into testing v0.4 (I had to run Windows XP & Windows 7 - shudder).
Jan 03 20:35:28 <dogan> GrueMaster:r u there?
Jan 03 20:37:16 <GrueMaster> Yes, barely (local server issues).
Jan 03 20:37:31 <dogan> i just downloaded the distro
Jan 03 20:37:39 <dogan> also downloaded your image writer
Jan 03 20:37:46 <dogan> but file extension is different
Jan 03 20:37:53 <dogan> so i wrote .raw file
Jan 03 20:38:00 <dogan> will it work? eh?
Jan 03 20:38:12 <GrueMaster> You will need to uncompress the image file.  Winzip (or Windows 7) should be able to do this.
Jan 03 20:38:37 <GrueMaster> win32-image-writer doesn't support file compression natively.
Jan 03 20:38:37 <dogan> yes it worked man
Jan 03 20:39:02 <dogan> yea i know but i meant that the file extension after extration is raw, not img
Jan 03 20:39:38 <dogan> so i wrote sd by forcing to write .raw file instead of .img
Jan 03 20:39:47 <dogan> and it worked yessss :D
Jan 03 20:39:49 <dogan> heyooo
Jan 03 20:40:32 <dogan> thank you so mych GrueMaster, you are really a master :D
