**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 09 02:59:58 2012 Nov 09 05:21:29 sweet, my chromebook is now running ubuntu! Nov 09 05:36:52 ok, does anyone know how software for ubuntu/arm (e.g. firefox) is built? Nov 09 05:37:13 is it cross-compiled, or just built nativelty? Nov 09 05:37:34 mjrosenb: Everything that ships with Ubuntu on Arm is built natively. Nov 09 05:37:50 ow Nov 09 05:38:08 I tried building firefox on a pandaboard last night Nov 09 05:38:15 Took a while eh? Nov 09 05:38:23 and the linking phase killed it Nov 09 05:38:25 use that shiny new a15 Nov 09 05:38:36 ...or lots and lots and lots and lots of swap. Nov 09 05:38:40 * achiang would be interested in seeing chrubuntu build performance Nov 09 05:38:51 * lilstevie too Nov 09 05:38:51 dual a15, 2gb ram... and using usb3 for IO Nov 09 05:39:05 yeah, I think my pandaboard has 1G ram + 512m swap Nov 09 05:39:06 * achiang nominates mjrosenb to do some tests. :) Nov 09 05:39:14 I should give it some more swap Nov 09 05:39:27 Yep, try a lot more swap. Nov 09 05:39:43 building on my quad a9, 1gb ram with slow mmc is a bit more decent but that a15 should kill it Nov 09 05:39:44 achiang: oh, its internal hard disk uses usb3.0? Nov 09 05:39:59 No, it usees MMC internally. Nov 09 05:40:02 At least afaik. Nov 09 05:40:02 mjrosenb: oh, no. cr-book has an external usb3 port Nov 09 05:40:07 internal mmc Nov 09 05:40:51 yeah, something or other is showing up as an sdcard Nov 09 05:40:59 that's the mmc Nov 09 05:41:05 sadly, / is *quite* small Nov 09 05:41:14 ogra_: ignored flash. hangouts are handled by plugin (not tried extracting) Nov 09 05:41:30 the ubuntu buildds use external USB disks Nov 09 05:41:33 you know if the mmc is user-replacable? Nov 09 05:41:51 TheMuso: that ppa which persia mentioned is with ucm profile. Nov 09 05:42:08 * mjrosenb does not have any external usb disks available, but I do have a nice 32g sd card Nov 09 05:42:14 (that I need to find) Nov 09 05:42:36 hrw: i'd be interested if you were able to figure out the hangout plugin. that's my blocker for getting a chromebook. :) Nov 09 05:42:50 TheMuso: what do you think about moving ucm profiles to separate package? would be easier to update and I would love to get them in Debian as well Nov 09 05:43:02 hrw: How easier to update? Nov 09 05:43:08 achiang: hdmi output works fine Nov 09 05:43:31 hrw: sorry, i don't understand? how is hdmi related to google hangouts? Nov 09 05:43:45 hrw, moving the ucm profiles to a separate package would also make tweaking for devices with similar codecs easier Nov 09 05:43:54 lilstevie: Why? Nov 09 05:44:16 persia, smaller, more portable package? Nov 09 05:44:40 lilstevie: more boilerplate documentation bloating deployed images Nov 09 05:44:50 hm Nov 09 05:45:07 ucm files are trivially portable. Uploading them as part of a single thing makes it easy, as long as we effectively collaborate on the uploads. Nov 09 05:45:21 It's only if one falls into the trap of believing in maintainers and maintainer lock that it could be an issue. Nov 09 05:45:44 23:55 < achiang> the fact that they shipped without getting hdmi working is... lame Nov 09 05:46:12 hrw: oh, you're processing old scrollback. :) Nov 09 05:46:13 persia: and ucm profiles are ubuntu delta Nov 09 05:46:19 achiang: yes, I do Nov 09 05:46:36 hrw: That makes it even simpler: they just drop in local VCS, and get deployed. Nov 09 05:46:36 achiang: its 6:45 here Nov 09 05:46:40 nod Nov 09 05:46:45 2146 here Nov 09 05:46:57 1646 here :p Nov 09 05:47:06 47 here Nov 09 05:47:24 just 47? Nov 09 05:47:29 * persia refutes the concept of timezones, and claims it to be 8:17, based on time since becoming awake. Nov 09 05:47:38 persia: my plan is to get all chromebook related to debian rather then ubuntu Nov 09 05:47:42 well, 0047 if you want to zero pad it Nov 09 05:47:49 persia, heh Nov 09 05:47:57 hrw: I like that plan. How does Debian deploy ucm today? Nov 09 05:47:58 and chromebook can fry speakers when wrong switches are enabled in alsa mixer Nov 09 05:48:08 persia: so far not found any Nov 09 05:48:14 Frying speakers is good: some hardware actually melts. Nov 09 05:48:28 hrw, ouch, that seems like..... a very poor design decision Nov 09 05:48:36 hrw: Have you asked #debian-arm@OFTC? Nov 09 05:48:48 persia: conferences does not help too much to make real work Nov 09 05:49:06 hrw: I totally understand (hence you not seeing me last week) Nov 09 05:49:17 Err, this last week. Nov 09 05:50:04 but today I start few days of vacations in 'still not so cold' Spain Nov 09 05:50:29 Heh. Enjoy the last breath of summer. Nov 09 05:50:55 if 11°C counts as summer ;d Nov 09 05:51:36 lilstevie: I have a feeling that chromebook was released in a rush when I use it Nov 09 05:51:53 hrw, probably, like everything is these days Nov 09 05:52:47 alsa mixer without restrictions, power usage during suspend-to-ram Nov 09 05:53:05 hrw: Anyway, as far as I can remember, we stuck the ucm stuff in libasound2 because it matched /usr/share/alsa/* for the Intel-HDA quirking: if there's a better architecture, then it probably makes sense to abstract out the /usr/share/alsa/cards/* stuff as well. Nov 09 05:54:06 But, as mentioned before, that would require additional licensing and documentation files, and I suspect achiang will support the idea of having less of that to ease deployment. Nov 09 05:54:20 yep Nov 09 05:55:15 persia: hm, i'm not planning on doing anything with chromebooks. :) Nov 09 05:56:27 achiang: Yes, but such extra stuff would be on *all* rootfs constructions, which increases the footprint requirements for every install. Nov 09 05:56:56 And I thought I remembered you wanting smaller footprints from UDS: my apologies if I'm mistaken. Nov 09 05:57:29 ah, yes. sorry, that is still definitely true Nov 09 05:58:46 hrw, persia, I asked the alsa guys fi they wanted to carry the ucm stuff and I was told no. Nov 09 05:59:55 And really, it is trivial to carry them. Nov 09 06:00:14 TheMuso: Do you think it's better to carry them as a distro-patch, or a separate package? Nov 09 06:00:20 Having said that, if upstrea were convinced to make another package for all ucm stuff, then I wouldn't object, upstrea being alsa devs. Nov 09 06:00:22 * persia is in favour of the distro-patch model Nov 09 06:00:37 Me too, only because they are so easy to carry. Nov 09 06:00:54 If they were hell to patch in, I'd be pushing for a separate package, but since they are only text files... Nov 09 06:01:15 TheMuso: Have you had any discussions with Debian ALSA folk about them? Nov 09 06:01:29 persia: As aboev, I asked if debian wanted to carry, and afaicr they said no. Nov 09 06:01:33 above* Nov 09 06:01:53 Sorry: I read the above as the ALSA project, rather than Debian. I understand now. Nov 09 06:02:06 But this stuff is really alsa upstream stuff. Nov 09 06:02:19 I need to check the archives to see if any previous discussion was held about sed topic. Nov 09 06:02:27 I thought UCM was originally done by ALSA upstream folk, but maybe there's still discussions ongoing there. Nov 09 06:02:49 Well they don't appear to carry any ucm files from what I've seen in git. Nov 09 06:03:08 persia: UCM was rather ASoC guys stuff Nov 09 06:03:36 Liam G., Mark Brown etc Nov 09 06:05:30 hrw: Ah, right. I get asoc confused with ALSA sometimes. Nov 09 06:06:21 I still remember discussion from Openmoko times about that stuff Nov 09 06:07:29 It maybe ASOC but its still part of ALSA. Nov 09 06:08:47 Ok this is weird. In /proc/asound/cards on the nexus7, I see an HDA driver loaded for NVIDIA Tegra HDA... Nov 09 06:09:15 Hrm? I would have expected tegra-alc5632 Nov 09 06:09:28 that isn't totally odd Nov 09 06:09:33 same thing on the tf201 Nov 09 06:09:34 Sure, there is an rt5xxx card, and the one I mentioned above. Nov 09 06:10:21 rt5640 to be exact. Nov 09 06:10:25 Oh its for HDMI. Nov 09 06:10:30 Interesting: are there actually two different audio interfaces in hardware, both connected to the same speakers/ Nov 09 06:10:36 Which is absolutely crazy, given no HDMI out on the Nexus. Nov 09 06:10:41 with the tf201 I get HDA NVIDIA Tegra and tegra-codec Nov 09 06:11:00 TheMuso, I think it is actually integrated into the SoC Nov 09 06:11:02 Does it not have some sort of dock connector, which maybe carries underdocumented HDMI? Nov 09 06:11:03 lilstevie: As above, I suspect the second HDA based one is for HDMI. Nov 09 06:11:16 Mini USB only for the nexus7 afaik. Nov 09 06:11:21 Or micro USB whatever its called. Nov 09 06:11:23 the SoC itself supports HDMI Nov 09 06:11:36 Silly hardware manufacturers: save money by not exposing ports, limiting functionality. Nov 09 06:11:36 it has 2 outputs Nov 09 06:11:40 lilstevie: Yeah afaik you can still have an hda codec as part of the SOC. Nov 09 06:11:41 LVDS and HDMI Nov 09 06:12:09 I haven't looked at the block diagram but you will probably find the HDA codec is somewhere in that Nov 09 06:12:25 I know there is something similar with the Tegra 2 Nov 09 06:12:30 lsmod shows snd-hda-codec-hdmi loaded on the n7. Nov 09 06:13:29 From what I read aon achiang's blog, a new kernel si coming that will disable athat though. Nov 09 06:13:30 yeah, on the trimslice it has tegra-trimslice-analog and tegra-trimslice-digital Nov 09 06:13:56 A new kernel isn't the right way to do that: it just pushes us further down the path of device-specific kernels. Nov 09 06:13:56 I really need a microhdmi cable to test hdmi out with the tf201 Nov 09 06:14:03 Yeah but I am surprised they used HDA for HDMI... but it does make sense. Nov 09 06:14:14 Better would be to have a framework that lets us blacklist modules based on device name. Nov 09 06:14:42 persia, yeah, the tf201 kernel needs a crapload of work before that will become an option though Nov 09 06:14:44 They already have to do the legwork for their desktop hardware, so why not incldue it in the SoC. Nov 09 06:15:01 lilstevie: Lots of them do, but I still think we want SoC-specific kernels in Ubuntu if we can. Nov 09 06:15:28 I'd like ISA-specific kernels, or even architecture-specific kernels, but those are significantly harder targets. Nov 09 06:15:30 persia, I agree, an SoC specific kernel would take a crapload of stress off me with tf201 stuff Nov 09 06:16:26 In other news, GNOME shell appears not to work on the Nexus 7, I get GNOME fallback. Nov 09 06:16:29 microhdmi... I got one yesterday. in a box with some Atom based device Nov 09 06:16:33 Off everyone, as the SoC licensor could just push upstream (or to gregkh for LTSI) and nobody would have to reimplement. THe issue being that we don't have any way *other* than kernel patches to turn on or off features on a per-device basis, nevermind the issues with board-bringup on initial boot. Nov 09 06:16:51 but at this stage it just isn't possible, stupid kernel cross contamination crap asus have done Nov 09 06:17:16 lilstevie: tf201-not-possible, or tegra-not-possible? Nov 09 06:17:28 persia, tegra3 transformer not possible Nov 09 06:17:42 persia, the best I can probably do is all the tegra 3 transformers into 1 kernel Nov 09 06:18:00 That's a huge step forward though. Nov 09 06:18:28 yeah, well thankfully the tf201 tf300t and tf700 are very similar devices Nov 09 06:18:40 and asus have left much of the code for the other devices in the latest kernel Nov 09 06:18:48 have a nice day guys. I go for vacations Nov 09 06:18:50 I still need to do a bit more research into what is missing Nov 09 06:18:50 Good for them. Nov 09 06:18:53 hrw, have fun Nov 09 06:19:18 persia, likely situation is they build for all 3 devices from the same tree Nov 09 06:19:45 lilstevie: They just need to be convinced to only maintain one kernel. You don't happen to know folk there, do you? Nov 09 06:19:58 persia, asus don't like us very much Nov 09 06:20:29 and I suspect since July they would be even less likely to open dialogue with me Nov 09 06:20:29 /c/c Nov 09 06:20:40 lilstevie: Oh well. Nov 09 06:21:04 persia, yeah, we kinda really broke their platform :) Nov 09 06:21:21 I don't think nvidia would like talking to us either Nov 09 06:24:11 persia, not that that matters anyway, I have in the past tried to open communication with them and got ignored Nov 09 06:42:38 TheMuso: we have bugs for gnome-shell Nov 09 07:29:58 major annoyance #1 about the chromebook Nov 09 07:30:09 the power button is evidently right where I expect pageupu to be Nov 09 07:30:15 also, it doesn't have a page up Nov 09 07:43:14 Mapping to Search-UpArrow probably makes sense. That keyboard should have had a function key. Nov 09 07:46:16 good morning Nov 09 07:49:14 dholbach: morning. Nov 09 07:49:58 hey, is there a TI guy in here? Nov 09 07:50:15 I remember I had an issue with a TI provided library, and someone was pinged Nov 09 07:50:25 but I no longer remember who it was. Nov 09 07:52:38 Do you remember which issue? Nov 09 08:06:39 persia: yes, various parts of unity didn't work because libgbm shipped via the omap ppa had the wrong version number. Nov 09 08:22:13 Just to confirm, this is likely a mesa issue? Nov 09 09:04:10 yeah. Nov 09 09:29:05 Then the person you seek is likely ndec (at least according to my backscroll) Nov 09 09:55:45 persia: ahh, yes. I remember it was a short name Nov 09 09:55:56 *remembered Nov 09 09:56:05 ndec: ping? Nov 09 09:56:27 also, it took me 17 minutes to build the spidermonkey shell Nov 09 09:56:34 * mjrosenb tries on the pandaboard Nov 09 11:00:42 janimo, did you ping any archive admin about the kernel upload yet ? Nov 09 11:00:48 still in NEW Nov 09 11:06:47 heh Nov 09 11:07:09 * ogra_ sees an armhf package for fastboot ... so i should be able to flash my nexus from my ac100 or chromebook now Nov 09 11:12:51 ogra_, I told infinity yesterday Nov 09 11:12:59 k Nov 09 11:13:19 ogra_, would the x86 one not run under qemu? Nov 09 11:13:39 i dont think we have a qemu i386 on arm Nov 09 11:13:54 There used to be one: was it disabled? Nov 09 11:13:58 iirc i looked at that for last UDS Nov 09 11:14:11 persia, a system one probably Nov 09 11:14:29 user-mode also, at least at DebConf11, but that was a while ago now. Nov 09 11:14:34 for which you would need to run a full VM ... which in turn would eat all my RAM :) Nov 09 11:14:55 Get more RAM then (and if it's all soldered, go complain to your manufacturer) Nov 09 11:15:10 i had a discussion with one qemu upstream guy back then and he told me there are too many syscals missing for -user mode Nov 09 11:15:25 persia, well, i fixed that ram issue on the ac100 Nov 09 11:15:33 How? Nov 09 11:15:37 by buying a chromebook :) Nov 09 11:15:51 * persia fails to see how that fixed the ac100 Nov 09 11:16:02 heh Nov 09 11:16:07 lol Nov 09 11:19:21 mfisch: android-tools are built and published in the ppa:ubuntu-nexus7/ubuntu-nexus7-installer, you can update your blog post =)))) Nov 09 12:00:47 ogra_, I am doing some video test, the nexus7 is really struggling with 720p ogg movie Nov 09 12:01:19 i havent tried ogg yet, but that might well be, i doubt there is an ogg omx plugin Nov 09 12:01:47 it works fine with h264 mp4 files, at lest it did at aome point for me Nov 09 12:02:03 i.e HD movbie trailers Nov 09 12:06:24 ogra_, I will try that Nov 09 12:06:39 ogra_, different question Nov 09 12:06:59 http://www.dvdloc8.com/list_clip.php Nov 09 12:07:12 there you should be able to find some h264 HD movie trailersa Nov 09 12:11:55 livecd-rootfs (2.94) raring; urgency=low Nov 09 12:11:55 * add a dependency on android-tools-fsutils for armhf builds Nov 09 12:11:55 * add nexus7 live-build configuration Nov 09 12:11:55 * add nexus7 post processing with make_ext4fs for teh tarball to roll a Nov 09 12:11:55 proper android img file Nov 09 12:11:59 there we go :) Nov 09 12:12:29 oh i hate if i typo changelog entries, damned Nov 09 12:47:25 I have a beagleboard-xm that runs ubuntu-server. What is the name of the package that I need to install on my laptop (ubuntu 12.10) to cross compile my C code? Nov 09 12:54:42 ogra_, hehe Nov 09 12:55:00 ogra_, I am using big buck bunny Nov 09 12:55:05 much nicer ;) Nov 09 12:55:16 anyway I logged a bug for ogg Nov 09 12:55:47 is there a way to pull in latest decoders that might speed it up? Nov 09 12:59:03 angs, apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf Nov 09 12:59:09 angs, trhats the cross compiler Nov 09 12:59:28 angs, http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2012/03/26/ubuntu-12-04-precise-and-cross-compilation-of-arm-kernels/ Nov 09 13:09:47 victorp, sorry, missed your last sentence (life is a bit crazy today over here, lots of people in my house), the codecs come from nvidia, so we wont be able to update unless they release a new version Nov 09 13:10:30 ogra_: iirc at uds there was deiscussion to take all linaro crosscomplation pages and make finally some docs for ubuntu ;) Nov 09 13:10:49 hrw, yeah, but its not done yet Nov 09 13:23:36 ogra_: thank you very much Nov 09 13:58:04 ogra_, I am transform it to mp4 h264 and does not playwell Nov 09 13:58:28 do you use totem? Nov 09 13:58:32 transform ? Nov 09 13:58:37 yes, you have to Nov 09 13:58:43 using vlc in my pc Nov 09 13:58:45 or any othert gstreamer based player Nov 09 13:58:58 the nvidia codecs are only available for gstreamer Nov 09 13:59:54 totem plays the mp4 well in my laptop but like an old TV in the nexus 7 Nov 09 14:00:00 colour all messed up Nov 09 14:01:19 well, use a proper mp4 not something you manually transcoded Nov 09 14:01:32 i have the simpsons trailer here from the page above Nov 09 14:01:41 and that plays fine Nov 09 14:01:53 some audio lag sometimes but i blame pulse for that Nov 09 14:02:04 hum, do we advise nexus7 users to upgrade? http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=298 Nov 09 14:02:21 to me it looks like at least nux and unity will be replaced by unpatched versions then: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-nexus7/+archive/ppa Nov 09 14:02:35 I'm just asking because it was picked up by http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/ubuntu-for-nexus-7-gets-small-updated Nov 09 14:11:27 ogra_, at risk of being bitten, i'd like the broach the subject of some sort of DMI equivalent on ARM. i've heard DeviceTree mentioned Nov 09 14:13:35 dholbach, well, -updates and -security are disabled by default (on purpose) but fixes that go to the PPA should be updated, yes Nov 09 14:14:07 ogra_, ah ok Nov 09 14:14:09 brendand_, yeah, for kernels using DT that could server as a dim like tool Nov 09 14:14:14 *dmi Nov 09 14:14:27 brendand_, sadly only very few kernels have DT yet Nov 09 14:14:31 ogra_, does the n7? Nov 09 14:14:38 no Nov 09 14:14:45 ogra_, can it/will it? Nov 09 14:15:03 if you find someone to port it :) Nov 09 14:15:46 there are no plans to port the current kernel anywhere on our side beyond adding fixes to make the HW work better Nov 09 14:16:15 but if someone from the community wants to work on a port to i,.e. 3.5 or newer nobody will block him/her Nov 09 14:20:19 ogra_, alright. we have some tests that use DMI, but it may be necessary just to skip them if DMI/DT is not available Nov 09 14:20:30 right Nov 09 14:20:41 ogra_, an example is a test that checks the amount of installed RAM on the system and makes sure the kernel detects it all Nov 09 14:20:45 i was working on a lshw fix for that before releaase Nov 09 14:21:04 seems it has the dmi check hardcoded as the very first test Nov 09 14:21:29 (but there is an option to override that, i was planning to make that a default on arm builds of lshw) Nov 09 14:21:53 ... but didnt manage to finish that bit yet Nov 09 14:22:14 memory should really not be pulled from DMI anyway, you want it from /proc/meminfo Nov 09 14:22:47 ogra_, /proc/meminfo is what the kernel sees, right? Nov 09 14:22:57 yep Nov 09 14:23:09 dmi is what the BIOS sees Nov 09 14:23:20 but arm systems are usually BIOS less Nov 09 14:23:42 ogra_, exactly. they should match up after allowing for UMA, right? Nov 09 14:24:10 well, the bios data usually only tells you about the RAM modules used etc Nov 09 14:24:34 while the values in proc show you the actual currently usable ram Nov 09 15:01:22 cwayne, I saw you raised some bugs on video. Did you get any HD video working? Nov 09 15:02:03 victorp: i'm trying it again now. i had gotten 720p working for a bit in copenhagen, but haven't tried since Nov 09 15:02:06 will keep you updated Nov 09 15:02:29 cwayne, I have 720p ogg working but is very very choppy Nov 09 15:02:43 http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ Nov 09 15:02:44 ^^ Nov 09 15:02:47 victorp: yeah, i saw that, im downloading that file now to test Nov 09 15:03:17 but I tried mp4/h264 and I get lots of image corruption Nov 09 15:03:59 in my tests before uploading the codecs package it just worked Nov 09 15:04:52 using commercial 720p and 1080p trailers for testing Nov 09 15:24:13 ogra_, you wont have a link to the actual files? Nov 09 15:25:17 not direct, i use them from the site i gave you above Nov 09 15:26:08 http://www.dvdloc8.com/view_clip.php?movieid=12167 Nov 09 15:26:27 the 720p one should definitely be fine Nov 09 15:32:17 ogra_: i think that's what i used in copenhagen and they seemed to work iirc Nov 09 15:32:42 yup, same for me Nov 09 15:33:16 victorp: need to mute and unmute your video button in the indicator again ;) Nov 09 15:33:30 * cwayne tries again Nov 09 15:33:36 achiang, what? Nov 09 15:34:19 ogra_, downloading now... Nov 09 15:34:31 * achiang wonders if victorp knows what a snipe hunt is ... Nov 09 15:34:58 achiang, lol Nov 09 15:37:54 * cwayne tries out mfisch's kernel while waiting for sample videos to download Nov 09 15:38:03 cwayne: great Nov 09 15:39:11 janimo, CONFIG_USB_GADGET=m and CONFIG_USB_CDC_COMPOSITE=m Nov 09 15:39:28 ogra_, ack Nov 09 15:39:48 will add them in the next kernel upload Nov 09 15:39:52 ++ Nov 09 15:39:58 ogra_, it is not HD though 1280 x 544 Nov 09 15:40:08 victorp, its 720p Nov 09 15:40:18 I wonder if these are needed by adb too. I could not get adb to connect to an adbd running on ubuntu, maybe this is why Nov 09 15:40:48 victorp, the content is 1280 x 544 instead of 1280x720 because its a cinema (16:10) format though Nov 09 15:41:05 the black stripes are in the movie as well :) that makes it 720p Nov 09 15:41:55 cwayne: this new video from Blender is much more fun than Big Buck Bunny: http://www.tearsofsteel.org/ Nov 09 15:42:24 ogra_, ha Nov 09 15:42:42 it is not HD is has only 544 horizontal lines Nov 09 15:42:43 1280 x 544 Nov 09 15:42:53 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p Nov 09 15:43:01 mfisch: your kernel seems to work! Nov 09 15:43:08 cwayne: great Nov 09 15:43:23 victorp, how else would you display a 16:10 movie on a 16:9 display ? Nov 09 15:43:56 ogra_, I am just talking about how hard is making the hardware work Nov 09 15:43:59 its 544 lines of content and 2x88 lines of black Nov 09 15:44:10 mfisch, achiang, is it fair to set the brightness bug as "won't fix" since it's working as upstream designed it? the bug doesn't mention the UI, so changing the label on the tickbox seems like a separate task Nov 09 15:44:15 still 720p ;) Nov 09 15:44:21 ssweeny: which brightness bug? Nov 09 15:44:30 cwayne, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nexus7/+bug/884041 Nov 09 15:44:31 Launchpad bug 884041 in ubuntu-nexus7 "Screen brightness not adjusted when switching from AC to battery" [High,Confirmed] Nov 09 15:45:04 ssweeny: at the very least we need an upstream bug about the confusing wording Nov 09 15:45:33 mfisch, i think the wording is tangential to the bug as filed Nov 09 15:45:52 i'm going to file a bug with gnome anyway Nov 09 15:46:03 but i'm not sure it needs to be attached to this one Nov 09 15:46:43 the filer didn't say "I checked this box and it didn't do what I thought". They said "This thing used to work and now it doesn't" Nov 09 15:46:53 anyway, I am sending it to the nexus7 and see if it plays without green shades Nov 09 15:47:34 ssweeny: i think it could be attached Nov 09 15:47:37 if you installed vnc it might have replaced any codecs with its own btw, i'm not sure what vnc pulls in through deps Nov 09 15:47:40 and then won't fix'd for nexus7 Nov 09 15:47:58 ogra_: +1 i think we should only use totem for video testing for now Nov 09 15:48:01 cwayne, vg Nov 09 15:48:08 cwayne, i will trust your expert opinion :) Nov 09 15:48:20 afaik, vlc brings in a lot of codecs, which is why we don't ship by default i believe Nov 09 15:48:28 cwayne, right, or any other gstreamer based player (are there any ?!?) :) Nov 09 15:49:08 I am getting checksum failed when downloading the new image Nov 09 15:49:11 it can well be that there are still issues with the actual codecs indeed i only did some smoke testing before uploading Nov 09 15:49:31 hmm, why is vanhoof not in this channel ?

I wonder Nov 09 15:52:22 hggdh: hmm, perhaps its not overwriting as it should... i believe vanhoof may have just fixed that Nov 09 15:52:29 cwayne, yes, ogra's Nov 09 15:52:43 ogra_, that is just random Nov 09 15:52:59 well, it most likely does SW rendering Nov 09 15:53:15 so once the queue is full it chops frames out Nov 09 15:53:32 and what does vlc have to do with that? Nov 09 15:53:43 if you let htop run in a terminal window you should actually see one CPU maxed out if thats the case Nov 09 15:54:00 the whole multimedia stack consists of multiple packages Nov 09 15:54:17 vlc might have replaced one or the other through a dependency Nov 09 15:54:39 htop not in the image Nov 09 15:54:42 :( Nov 09 15:55:04 apt-get install it :) Nov 09 15:55:26 I am just complaining that is not in the image ;) Nov 09 15:55:27 we discussed pulling it into the desktop seed for ubuntu during UDS Nov 09 15:55:40 shouldnt this tools be pre-install on a dev image? Nov 09 15:55:43 seems everyone is using it anyway and we should have the space Nov 09 15:55:49 you have top Nov 09 15:55:55 its just harder to read Nov 09 15:56:42 fewer pretty colors :) Nov 09 15:56:46 or we could have a meta packages that install all the debug tools Nov 09 15:56:53 * victorp like colors Nov 09 15:57:21 ogra_, cores are not maxed out Nov 09 15:57:41 cwayne, well, the important part for me is always the total ram usage, nothing shows that as nicely as htop Nov 09 15:57:50 ogra_: agreed Nov 09 15:57:53 * cwayne <3 htop Nov 09 15:58:00 victorp, well, then it uses the omx libs apparently Nov 09 15:58:03 fun fact: htop actually starts up slightly faster than top Nov 09 15:58:19 it is with the ogg 720p Nov 09 15:58:25 for bbb Nov 09 15:59:09 cwayne: OK. deleting the sha256 file and re-downloading all causes an Oct 26 sh256 file to be recreated -- and failure ensues Nov 09 15:59:37 hggdh: ruh roh Nov 09 15:59:53 vanhoof: ^^ Nov 09 16:00:09 cwayne, let me know if you get the simpsons running well Nov 09 16:00:22 victorp: ack. just finished downloading Nov 09 16:01:10 ssweeny: you get an answer re: brightness? my opinion is that we have an opportunity to do better than upstream Nov 09 16:01:45 achiang, i can take a look at implementing something if you like Nov 09 16:03:05 mine crashes at 9 seconds in victorp... weird Nov 09 16:03:39 ssweeny: iow, i think as part of our power savings kick, shouldn't dimming screen make sense? my android phone autodims even when plugged in Nov 09 16:03:40 mine plays the second time but not the first Nov 09 16:03:41 :) Nov 09 16:04:18 achiang, you make a valid point Nov 09 16:05:15 cwayne: hggdh you've gotta be picking up something cached Nov 09 16:05:32 have a quick call, ill take a look Nov 09 16:05:43 http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-raring/group/topic-raring-desktop-targets-for-embedded.html Nov 09 16:08:06 huh, im always getting it hanging at 9 seconds Nov 09 16:08:08 wtf Nov 09 16:08:37 vanhoof: I do have a cache for packages (squid-deb-proxy), but I do not see how it would get there Nov 09 16:08:44 vanhoof: and certainly not for wget Nov 09 16:11:01 vanhoof: what about the squid proxy?

Nov 09 16:15:19 ssweeny: or just the dim part Nov 09 16:17:43 I don't see any ARM builds of plasma-active on packages.ubuntu.com, is that indeed missing from the repos? (although it's mostly broken thanks to a drop, I'm hoping to try out Active on my Nexus 7) Nov 09 16:18:54 ogra_: once i get it running (which is difficult sometimes) the simpsons trailer looks great actually Nov 09 16:19:14 mfisch, there's a helper program that talks to sysfs Nov 09 16:19:44 ssweeny: where is it?

Nov 09 17:45:22 brendand: it certainly was never designed to handle a system with a range of 0-255 Nov 09 17:45:58 mfisch, i assume it's because it was a useful GNOME feature Nov 09 17:46:28 mfisch, i can reproduce similarly on my laptop though Nov 09 17:46:38 brendand: what's the max on your laptop?

Curious how rootfs is built.. i see projects such as rootstock and live-build; am i on the right track? Nov 09 17:50:49 mfisch, if you set volume level in pulseaudio command line then there is immediate feedback in the ui. same for bluetooth settings etc Nov 09 17:51:21 brendand: that would be yet another bug Nov 09 17:51:44 ngharo: what are you trying to hack?

Nov 09 17:55:02 yikes does nexus7 really use usb audio? Nov 09 17:55:03 before building boot.img Nov 09 17:55:12 ngharo: you'll need all the packages from our PPA in your image Nov 09 17:55:31 roger that Nov 09 17:55:32 ngharo: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-nexus7/+archive/ppa Nov 09 17:55:48 ngharo: "tarball-installer" is one of them Nov 09 17:55:58 :D Nov 09 17:56:19 mfisch, is it the case on your laptop that changing the brightness using the hw keys updates the gsd-backlight-helper value but not the slider? Nov 09 17:56:22 very cool. Thanks.

Nov 09 20:05:06 well, thats definitely the root cause Nov 09 20:05:31 nvidia and xrandr are known to not work well together Nov 09 20:05:42 we have several bugs filed about it ^^ Nov 09 20:06:16 and gnome-settings-daemon simply does everthing regarding the resolution settings via xrandr Nov 09 20:07:27 yep Nov 09 20:08:29 i doubt it makes much difference which of the binary drivers you use though Nov 09 20:08:58 Is there a proper solution?

Nov 09 20:20:58 (Which, sure, means that the people who signed that contract wanted it dead, but... They also didn't realise at the time that trading parisc for ia64 was a very bad idea) Nov 09 20:22:49 infinity: HP co-invented the Itanium chip and handed it to Intel Nov 09 20:23:03 * mfisch knows because /me was there during the early itanium days Nov 09 20:23:21 infinity: unless you mean once they realized the mistake they made ;) Nov 09 20:24:48 mfisch: Where the engineering came from is less interesting than the contract that pretty much tied their hands WRT continuing development on PARISC afterward. Nov 09 20:25:55 * ogra-cb really loved alpha Nov 09 20:25:55 true, but by then all the HP chip designers were working on Itanium for a few years, right? they'd be behind. then in 2003 +/- 1 year, HP essentially "traded" the chip designers to Intel here in Fort Collins, probably elsewhere Nov 09 20:27:13 ogra-cb: i still have 3 DS10L's that work :D Nov 09 20:27:23 ogra-cb: all the rest have died :) Nov 09 20:27:25 sweet !
