Jan 13 09:11:02 <rbasak> Is anyone aware of a regression in precise for pandas? Or any changes made since yesterday that might be relevant? I had an automated install working yesterday, but it is failing to boot after the installer today, and I haven't changed anything.
Jan 13 09:13:30 <infinity> rbasak: Not that I know of.
Jan 13 09:13:45 <infinity> rbasak: You mean fresh installs don't work, or a dist-upgraded one has failed to continue working?
Jan 13 09:13:53 <rbasak> fresh installs don't work
Jan 13 09:14:03 <rbasak> I'm just trying oneiric now to check it's not something not archive related
Jan 13 09:14:42 <infinity> There was a new kernel yesterday.  Could be broken, or the images could just be suffering from some archive breakage.
Jan 13 09:16:29 <rbasak> ok, thanks. I might ask for some help debugging this in a bit
Jan 13 11:12:04 <rbasak> OK I think there's a regression for panda in the new kernel. It just doesn't boot, no output after "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.", even with quiet etc. removed from the command line. The installer works fine. Any help please?
Jan 13 11:12:12 <rbasak> or can anyone reproduce?
Jan 13 11:16:36 <janimo> rbasak, I know there was such a bug in omap4 kernel last Linaro release, worked around by passing a compiler flag
Jan 13 11:16:41 <janimo> but not sure about latest kernels
Jan 13 12:32:45 <Spider-Pork> I've followed this guide for booting from USB instead of SD card on my pandaboard. It boot but is really, really slow and the board seems to continuosly access USB HD. I'm using prebuild image for ubuntu 11.10 http://omappedia.org/wiki/Prebuilt_ubuntu_binaries. Is it normal? Thank you
Jan 13 12:33:18 <Spider-Pork> ops, ---> this guide http://omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ#I_want_to_install_Ubuntu_on_external_USB_hard_disk_instead_of_sluggish_SD_card
Jan 13 13:52:31 <GrueMaster> Spider-Pork: Not sure what to tell you on that because I haven't tried that method.  I use the netinstall image to install to a USB drive (Sata) and it seems fairly responsive.
Jan 13 13:52:39 <Giovani_br> Hi, I would like to have a console terminal in the serial port, instead of the hdmi. How can I configure?
Jan 13 13:53:07 <GrueMaster> Giovani_br: Desktop image or server image?
Jan 13 13:53:17 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: oh is possible to install on external drive with netinstall?
Jan 13 13:53:26 <Spider-Pork> where you put the url to external disk?
Jan 13 13:53:41 <Spider-Pork> you put image of netinstall on SD right?
Jan 13 13:54:00 <Spider-Pork> and then from netinstall put external disk URL?
Jan 13 13:54:02 <Giovani_br> GrueMaster: server image, I am using pandaboard. I have the serial port connected the last message says: "stopping read required files in advance [ OK ]" then the login screen is displayed in the hdmi
Jan 13 13:54:05 <GrueMaster> It still requires an SD, but the rootfs & swap get installed on the usb drive.
Jan 13 13:54:18 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: ok but how you done it?
Jan 13 13:54:53 <GrueMaster> Giovani_br: The server image should create a login tty on the serial port.
Jan 13 13:55:08 <Giovani_br> GrueMaster: it is not creating ;/
Jan 13 13:55:15 <Giovani_br> ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-server-armel+omap4.img this is the image
Jan 13 13:55:26 <Quintasan> ARGH
Jan 13 13:55:28 <Quintasan> ogra_: ping
Jan 13 13:55:35 <Spider-Pork> ok, you wrote it on your SD right?
Jan 13 13:55:43 <Giovani_br> GrueMaster: the login tty is on the hdmi port
Jan 13 13:55:53 <GrueMaster> Spider-Pork:  Download the netinstall image from http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/oneiric/main/installer-armel/current/images/omap4/netboot/
Jan 13 13:56:51 <GrueMaster> Spider-Pork: Use one of boot.img-[serial|fb].  The serial one puts the config screen out to the serial console, and the fb will run install from the screen.
Jan 13 13:57:13 <Spider-Pork> ok and then how you indicate URL for external drive?
Jan 13 13:57:21 <Spider-Pork> the alternate install ask to you?
Jan 13 13:57:24 <GrueMaster> Giovani_br: What do you have on the serial console?  Do you see u-boot messages?
Jan 13 13:57:35 <Giovani_br> GrueMaster: yes
Jan 13 13:57:45 <GrueMaster> Spider-Pork: The installer will have a section on guided partitioning.
Jan 13 13:57:47 <Giovani_br> GrueMaster: also linux messages
Jan 13 13:57:54 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: thank you!
Jan 13 13:57:57 <Giovani_br> but not the login
Jan 13 13:58:09 <GrueMaster> Giovani_br: Which image are you running?
Jan 13 13:58:16 <Giovani_br> GrueMaster: ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-server-armel+omap4.img
Jan 13 13:59:09 <GrueMaster> Very odd.  I have that running here on one of my pandas.  It sounds like you either are missing /etc/init/ttyO2.conf, or it is corrupted.
Jan 13 14:00:25 <Giovani_br> I will see in the sd card
Jan 13 14:11:39 <reisei> \quit
Jan 13 14:21:08 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: on netboot installer, you have selected ubuntu desktop USB?
Jan 13 14:22:27 <Spider-Pork> *have you
Jan 13 14:23:45 <GrueMaster> No, select Ubuntu-desktop.  The other one isfor creating a live USBstick (and I think it is only for x86).
Jan 13 14:24:15 <Spider-Pork> ok tyhankyou
Jan 13 14:25:36 <GrueMaster> Spider-Pork: Are you using Oneiric?
Jan 13 14:28:53 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: 11.10+
Jan 13 14:28:55 <Spider-Pork> 11.10
Jan 13 14:29:35 <GrueMaster> Ok, cool.  Reason I asked was we have a broken kernel in the 12.04 pool atm.
Jan 13 14:29:44 <Spider-Pork> ok thank you
Jan 13 14:30:30 <Spider-Pork> i came from openembedded. How ubuntu create these prebuild images?
Jan 13 14:30:57 <ogra_> using the cdimage build servers in the canonical datacenter :)
Jan 13 14:30:58 <Spider-Pork> for example: on openembedded I utilize bitbake my_image_recipe
Jan 13 14:31:06 <GrueMaster> Magic fairy dust sprikled liberally over a lot of crappy scripts.
Jan 13 14:31:26 <ogra_> they are assembled from the binary debs
Jan 13 14:31:39 <Spider-Pork> ah ok
Jan 13 14:31:56 <Spider-Pork> so i can't build my own ubuntu
Jan 13 14:32:10 <Spider-Pork> i must wait prebuild images from canonical right?
Jan 13 14:32:34 <ogra_> the tool building the filesystem is called live-build but that only gives you the content of the second partition
Jan 13 14:32:42 <GrueMaster> You can, but I don't know how to get you started.  Others have before.
Jan 13 14:32:52 <Spider-Pork> so i must build kernel and uboot
Jan 13 14:32:57 <Spider-Pork> and boot.scr right?
Jan 13 14:32:59 <ogra_> the image itself and the partitioninjg are done with the scripts from cdimage
Jan 13 14:33:59 <Spider-Pork> ok
Jan 13 14:34:01 <Spider-Pork> thank you
Jan 13 14:34:07 <infinity> ppisati: *poke*
Jan 13 14:34:08 <Spider-Pork> i'll study this system better
Jan 13 14:34:16 <infinity> ppisati: Come join us in the ARM room for a second?
Jan 13 14:34:16 <Spider-Pork> is there a doc about these stuff?
Jan 13 15:03:49 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: are you sure about ubuntu desktop choice? After selected it nothing appeared then. Is blocked there, apparently doing nothing
Jan 13 15:12:06 <GrueMaster> Spider-Pork: Unfortunately, I am not in a position to reproduce this at the moment.  I am going by memory.
Jan 13 15:12:32 <GrueMaster> What are you seeing after the install finishes?  Just a login console?
Jan 13 15:12:45 <Spider-Pork> GrueMaster: simply freeze
Jan 13 15:13:02 <Spider-Pork> i see the coice for what kind of install i would
Jan 13 15:13:08 <Spider-Pork> and nothing more
Jan 13 15:13:11 <Spider-Pork> i rebooted
Jan 13 15:13:19 <Spider-Pork> I select again ubuntu desktop
Jan 13 15:13:43 <GrueMaster> Sounds like something isn't getting installed right.
Jan 13 15:13:51 <Spider-Pork> then apparently load packages and restart asking me locale, UTC, username, keyboard
Jan 13 15:13:55 <Spider-Pork> so on at while(1)
Jan 13 15:14:14 <Spider-Pork> is the third time i write the SD server installation
Jan 13 15:14:57 <Spider-Pork> I'm starting to think that this SD card has some problems
Jan 13 15:15:03 <GrueMaster> Wait, which are you running? preinstalled-server, preinstalled-desktop, or netinstall?
Jan 13 15:15:11 <Spider-Pork> preinstalled-server
Jan 13 15:15:50 <Spider-Pork> oh wait
Jan 13 15:15:51 <GrueMaster> And you are trying to get desktop running from that?
Jan 13 15:15:57 <Spider-Pork> yep
Jan 13 15:16:24 <GrueMaster> I thought you wanted to install onto a usb drive?
Jan 13 15:16:53 <Spider-Pork> oh my god
Jan 13 15:17:04 <Spider-Pork> I readen the wrong line
Jan 13 15:17:10 <Spider-Pork> you told me to use netinstall
Jan 13 15:17:13 <Spider-Pork> not server
Jan 13 15:17:18 <GrueMaster> Yes.
Jan 13 15:17:27 * Spider-Pork take out his head from the ass
Jan 13 15:18:50 <GrueMaster> I need to shutdown and pack up.  I'll be back online Monday to help further (1400 UTC).
Jan 13 15:19:01 <Spider-Pork> thank you GrueMaster
Jan 13 16:56:09 <rajo> hello
Jan 13 17:51:52 <rajo> do anyone know how to extract omap armhf images
Jan 13 17:52:09 <rajo> I want to modify those files offline ?
Jan 13 17:52:39 <rajo> I have tried to mount, but with no luck
Jan 13 17:53:03 <ndec> you mean something like this : http://omappedia.org/wiki/Add_Packages_To_Ubuntu_Preinstalled_Images#Mounting_the_pre-installed_rootfs
Jan 13 17:54:28 <rajo> I will give it a chance. I am using Tegra2 based platform and want to test precise armhf port
Jan 13 17:54:32 <rajo> thank you
Jan 13 17:55:08 <ndec> the method in the wiki is exactly what you want to do I think!
Jan 13 17:55:33 <rajo> I hope so ...
Jan 13 23:57:16 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti_: howdy. still remember poking the omap kernel and being intrigued by the '+' at the end of the name? in case you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild step 7 for where it comes from.
Jan 13 23:58:35 <rsalveti_> LetoThe2nd: cool, didn't know about this wiki page
Jan 13 23:58:50 <rsalveti_> something useful for people wanting to generate the deb packages from mainline
Jan 13 23:58:52 <rsalveti_> thanks
Jan 13 23:59:08 <LetoThe2nd> rsalveti_: np. whenever i stumble upon such things, i try t report back ;)
Jan 13 23:59:36 <LetoThe2nd> (though i admit its been a few days ;P )
Jan 13 23:59:45 <rsalveti> haha, np :-)
Jan 14 00:00:00 <LetoThe2nd> good night and have a nice weekend then :)
Jan 14 00:00:13 <rsalveti> you too, c-ya
