Oct 28 03:44:26 with the right kernel/modules of course. Oct 28 03:45:17 which graphics libs is that using? Oct 28 03:49:10 same ones as the ubuntu image released today Oct 28 03:49:15 l4t stuff essentially Oct 28 03:49:19 hm ok Oct 28 03:49:27 I don't have a nexus 7 Oct 28 03:49:32 is that 12.04 or 12.10 Oct 28 03:49:35 12.04 Oct 28 03:50:17 hm Oct 28 05:35:05 ogra_, there are a few typos in your description for brcm-patchram-plus on the ppa :p brcm-patchram-plus-nexus7 Patchram untility for bordcom hybrid chipsets to enable bluetooth Oct 28 05:44:20 How do i install ubuntu-arm on raspberry pi ?? Oct 28 05:45:24 Aarat, you don't look at the topic, it says try #rasbian Oct 28 05:45:36 yes.. but thats debian Oct 28 05:45:46 i already have raspbian installed Oct 28 05:45:53 Aarat, you cannot install a recent version of ubuntu on the rpi Oct 28 05:46:06 any development version ?? Oct 28 05:46:59 no Oct 28 05:47:18 okay.. got it Oct 28 05:47:57 Aarat, the rpi uses an armv6 cpu, ubuntu has not run on armv6 for many versions now, currently it is compiled for armv7, so to make a version specifically for the rpi you would have to recompile the entire software repository Oct 28 05:48:26 Okay.. where do i start ?? Oct 28 05:49:14 that is a lot of effort Oct 28 05:49:27 Ah Okay Oct 28 05:49:42 is there any community working on it ? Oct 28 05:49:50 not that I am aware of Oct 28 05:49:57 Okay Oct 28 05:50:10 does the ubuntu work on beagle board ?? Oct 28 05:50:35 yes Oct 28 05:50:40 that has an armv7 cpu Oct 28 05:50:45 thats great !! Oct 28 05:51:04 look at the Trimslice h250 it has Ubuntu loaded on it Oct 28 05:51:25 I have the Trimslice pro Oct 28 05:51:31 works well Oct 28 05:51:41 thats great !! Oct 28 05:52:08 I am working on a project which will have several push buttons running mapped commands with it Oct 28 05:52:19 nice - my main computer as it is low power one thing get a 4 way powerd hub Oct 28 05:53:01 satellit_Tr55, I mainly use mine for building packages Oct 28 05:53:24 h250 lets you change hard drives Oct 28 05:53:45 how bout connecting several hard drives on trimslice ?? Oct 28 05:53:54 if i want to make copier Oct 28 05:54:21 use dd on esternal hd Oct 28 05:54:29 external Oct 28 05:54:34 usb Oct 28 05:54:54 true.. bout how much time it will take to image a 500 gb hard drive Oct 28 05:55:13 i have a rpi taking 2 hours to image 16 gb Oct 28 05:55:23 I use 64 Gb class 10 SD cards for backup Oct 28 05:55:23 on raspbian Oct 28 05:56:35 * satellit_Tr55 back to bed 11 pm here nite...: ) Oct 28 06:12:02 janimo, I noticed you packaged the firmware for the nexus 7, I was wondering about the licence for the bluetooth firmware Oct 28 06:12:17 cause I have been looking for that for a while and never found it Oct 28 13:00:02 How long should flashing rootfs take? Oct 28 13:02:39 Mine seems to be taking too long... Oct 28 13:05:59 ben1066, for? Oct 28 13:06:13 Nexus 7, sorry, should be more specific Oct 28 13:06:20 takes like 4 minutes here Oct 28 13:07:04 Hmm, would the fact I'm running the desktop Ubuntu in vmware workstation affect it? Oct 28 13:07:17 I dont run Ubuntu natively, I've dualbooted debian....but not ubuntu Oct 28 13:07:18 possibly Oct 28 13:07:30 the other steps run successfully Oct 28 13:07:39 i didn't use the graphical tool personally, just downloaded the boot.img and rootfs.img and flashed them with fastboot Oct 28 13:07:41 how long has it been running Oct 28 13:07:59 i left it for about 10-15 minutes Oct 28 13:08:15 And then cancled, redownloading the images now to makle sure they're okay Oct 28 13:08:28 Hexxeh: do you have a link for the images? Oct 28 13:08:48 open the ubuntu-nexus7-installer tool, it's just a shell script Oct 28 13:08:49 URLs are in there Oct 28 13:08:53 don't have them to hand Oct 28 13:11:17 I cant find aformentioned script... Oct 28 13:12:09 nano `which ubuntu-nexus7-installer` Oct 28 13:16:03 Thanks, also Hexxeh, what device is that you posted with Chromium OS on? Oct 28 13:16:11 nexus 7 Oct 28 13:16:26 Heh, it was kinda hard to tell since the bezel looks black Oct 28 13:22:51 lilstevie, honestly I am not sure. it's behind the same Google EULA as the rest of the nexus firmware Oct 28 13:23:51 janimo, hmm, I found the one for the tf201 wifi firmware, well all bcm4329 wifi, but I have been struggling on the bluetooth firmware Oct 28 13:24:31 janimo, unfortunately we don't have a nexus type proprietary firmware download bundle :( Oct 28 13:26:55 lilstevie, I am not sure if they are the same chips/drivers/fw, but I know tf101 used a broadcom 4329 combo too Oct 28 13:27:12 ogra_, did some work on bluetooth but it's still not working well on the nexus Oct 28 13:27:22 I just put the fw there as it is a prerequisite Oct 28 13:28:12 lilstevie, did you get the button1 stuck issue on the tf201 when using unity? Oct 28 13:28:17 janimo, yes Oct 28 13:28:21 we suspected it was a unity/nux issue Oct 28 13:28:24 lilstevie: what you looking for? Oct 28 13:28:35 janimo: fwiw i'm not seeing it with Chromium OS Oct 28 13:28:38 using your X server binaries Oct 28 13:28:40 as the kernel driver and evdev see the taps just fine when looking with xinput or evtest Oct 28 13:28:47 so it's not an X issue Oct 28 13:28:51 Hexxeh, we did not see it when using lubuntu either Oct 28 13:28:56 Hexxeh, bcm4329 bluetooth firmware licence Oct 28 13:28:56 hence suspecting nux/unity Oct 28 13:29:10 janimo, I get it with gnome too Oct 28 13:30:20 https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/broadcom/wlan/+/08db8f05975cef5fce3cb3302cf678fa1e92b8bf/bcm4329/firmware/LICENSE.TXT Oct 28 13:30:26 lilstevie, I just commented on that bug Oct 28 13:30:40 lilstevie, ok so not unity then Oct 28 13:30:48 Hexxeh, that is for wlan Oct 28 13:31:01 isn't it the same firmware file? Oct 28 13:31:10 also i'd have thought it's a fairly safe assumption the license is the same Oct 28 13:31:11 nope Oct 28 13:31:31 different firmware package Oct 28 13:32:02 janimo, with bluetooth on the nexus, have you tried setting the MAC address Oct 28 13:32:05 janimo: any idea what the issue with audio is? Oct 28 13:32:21 lilstevie, never toyed with BT myself Oct 28 13:32:23 Hexxeh, no Oct 28 13:32:23 i can't get that working at all in cros, works okay in ubuntu if i suspend/resume Oct 28 13:32:33 cause I have had it working with varying success for multiple users Oct 28 13:32:47 what audio codec is it using Oct 28 13:33:25 rt5631? Oct 28 13:33:33 let me check, one moment Oct 28 13:33:46 i keep killing the battery on my n7 so it's off atm Oct 28 13:34:47 rt5640 Oct 28 13:34:51 hm Oct 28 13:44:31 So currently audio and bluetooth are non-functional? That's still pretty impressive Oct 28 13:45:48 i think bluetooth is a trivial fix but i've not gotten around to trying yet Oct 28 13:45:58 still building my image recipe for automated builds Oct 28 13:47:40 Bluetooth appears to be somewhat functional in the build Oct 28 13:47:42 Its showing as on Oct 28 14:03:48 janimo: did you see the newest bug i posted? Oct 28 14:04:01 achiang, no Oct 28 14:04:11 I do not think I am subscribed to bug notifications Oct 28 14:04:18 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7/+bug/1072320 Oct 28 14:04:19 Launchpad bug 1072320 in ubuntu-nexus7 "please consider adding OTG charging support to kernel" [High,New] Oct 28 14:04:27 achiang, ok, will look into it Oct 28 14:04:38 shall we make uploads to the public ppa for upgrades? Oct 28 14:04:39 it's just an interesting one Oct 28 14:04:51 janimo: no, we need to use a staging area Oct 28 14:04:57 for testing Oct 28 14:04:58 oem-archive? Oct 28 14:07:02 how exactly did you build your rootfs.img? make_ext4fs? Oct 28 14:10:37 yeah Oct 28 14:11:05 can't rebuild an image, oddly, error: do_inode_allocate_indirect: Failed to allocate 4101 blocks Oct 28 14:27:45 lilstevie: you seen that error before? Oct 28 14:28:09 no Oct 28 14:52:26 Hexxeh, we saw that error, I think it is a known bug Oct 28 14:52:44 our ext4 image only has a tarball _inside_ it, which is uncompressed by some initrd script Oct 28 14:52:49 seems to be related to long filenames Oct 28 14:52:56 narrowed it down to a bunch of ssl certs in /etc/ssl/certs Oct 28 14:53:02 if you have a regular rootfs with many inodes, make_extfs4 may not create it well Oct 28 14:53:21 Hexxeh, could be long filenames too, we did not investigate much Oct 28 14:53:23 is that the reason you shipped a tarball? Oct 28 14:53:41 I think in order to keep image size smaller Oct 28 14:53:48 the flashed image size that is Oct 28 14:54:17 ogra_ will fill you in if there is more to it Oct 28 15:05:01 one problem i've run into is that unless the device works to a point where i can connect the wifi, i can't get a shell to debug Oct 28 15:05:07 is there some way of getting a shell over usb? Oct 28 15:06:55 Yes, if you have a usbCTC serial device, or other usb->serial device Oct 28 15:07:02 you could also go for USBset Oct 28 15:07:05 USBnet rather Oct 28 15:07:12 TCP over USB Oct 28 15:07:38 i don't have any kind of adaptors, waiting for my usb otg cable to arrive Oct 28 17:29:00 Fun fact, dont try and use html5 video in chromium on nexus 7 ubuntu Oct 28 17:29:02 It breaks the everything Oct 28 17:35:36 works for me Oct 28 17:39:37 I went to youtube Oct 28 17:39:46 Tried to view a video (html5 trial) Oct 28 17:39:55 Got wierd artifacting Oct 28 17:41:26 On another site it works, though really jerky Oct 28 17:45:59 probably using CPU for decode via ffmpeg Oct 28 17:46:09 it won't be smooth unless it's hw accelerated via openmax Oct 28 17:46:11 I see Oct 28 18:21:18 Bluetooth works for me Oct 28 18:21:20 out of the box Oct 28 18:22:09 They pair anyway Oct 28 19:19:08 ben1066: did you mean "This kills the Nexus"? :p Oct 28 19:19:25 eh? Oct 28 19:20:00 Meh, inside jokes aren't funny if you don't know about them. Oct 28 19:20:20 Oh really? :P Oct 28 19:20:21 ben1066: but yeah, video seems to go terrible currently :( Oct 28 19:20:39 Yeah, also tried --enable-openmax Oct 28 19:20:41 no change Oct 28 19:21:00 For example the sample video that comes with a default install... just plays audio on mine and stalls Totem until the video is over. Oct 28 19:21:13 :( Oct 28 19:21:54 Is there a known workaround for the "mouse" button sticking yet? Oct 28 19:26:45 dont think so Oct 28 19:27:04 also just noticed my speaker is blown...that and the screen lift, seems I shall be returning my device Oct 28 19:28:56 Wonder how this'll go since you can't get the 8gb any more Oct 28 19:29:14 Maybe I'll get lucky :p Oct 28 19:32:21 ben1066: too much phat beats? :') Oct 28 19:32:45 strange though, only one channel blew >_> Oct 28 19:32:51 left Oct 28 19:32:54 Well, not strange Oct 28 19:32:59 But generally you get similar volume on both Oct 28 19:34:43 Probably might want to go back to stock and run "fastboot oem lock" before you return it. Installing Ubuntu on it shouldn't cause hardware issues like that but sometimes shops whine. Oct 28 19:34:52 Yeah I will Oct 28 19:34:58 I got it from Play Store Oct 28 19:35:04 Ah. Oct 28 19:35:04 So yeah, this'll be interesting Oct 28 19:35:09 I was wondering where you got the 8GB from :p Oct 28 19:35:14 Still got the packaging...somewhere Oct 28 19:35:23 Got 16 here :) Oct 28 19:35:55 Well the 8GB isnt sold now apparently, I wonder if they'll have to give me a replacement 16 since I doubt they're gonna make just one 8GB :P unless they kept some just for returns Oct 28 19:36:55 Hope you don't have to pay extra for it. Oct 28 19:37:01 Would be silly, so I doubt it. Oct 28 19:37:09 They can't make me, they are obliged to fix or replace it Oct 28 19:37:19 Or give your money back... Oct 28 19:37:27 :p Oct 28 19:37:46 Blegh Oct 28 19:38:06 But yeah, I guess you might score an upgrade if they truly have no more 8GB models. Oct 28 19:38:10 Well if they do that I'll just wait for the 16GB to drop when the 32GB is announced :P Oct 28 19:40:14 But yeah, already back to stock Oct 28 19:40:19 :) Oct 28 19:40:27 Don't forget to fastboot oem lock again then :) Oct 28 19:40:57 Yeah, I wont :) Oct 28 19:43:38 Also just got my windows 8 wmc key Oct 28 19:58:10 Im super good at blowing speakers mind, I blew a pair of headphones not long ago :p Oct 28 19:58:22 el' crapo anyway, but yeah Oct 28 20:20:53 But yeah, ubuntu on arm seems pretty decent even now **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Oct 29 03:00:01 2012
