**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 05 02:59:59 2013 Sep 05 08:43:36 hi, I've got an old device some sort of lenovo netbook with freescale i.MX51 SoC running ubuntu 9.04 Sep 05 08:44:04 do you know how to update it at least into ubuntu 10.04 ? Sep 05 08:44:46 I've written an SD card with ubuntu-10.04-netbook-armel+imx51.img Sep 05 08:45:17 but it doesn't seems to boot it when inserted in the built in SD slot Sep 05 08:46:18 it seems there's a redboot bootloader in the system but I don't know how to get access to it Sep 05 08:47:30 would be safe just change in /etc/apt/sources.list jaunty for lucid and apt-get update + apt-get dist-upgrade ? Sep 05 08:54:22 what happens when you run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? Sep 05 08:54:35 i forgot the command but you can list if there is a distro upgrade available Sep 05 08:55:44 well it says download about 1k pakages Sep 05 08:56:25 1075 upgraded Sep 05 08:56:33 345 newly installed Sep 05 08:56:39 41 to remove Sep 05 08:57:03 an 0 not upgraded Sep 05 08:57:25 that sounds alright Sep 05 08:58:30 i would do it, but not many of my systems are business critical Sep 05 08:59:15 ok, I'll give a try Sep 05 09:00:01 but I'm wondering where kernel/initfs is in that system Sep 05 09:01:00 maybe there's something else I need to update, I've seen in dmesg about four partitions in a mmc like storage Sep 05 09:01:27 I think one was labeled redboot and another one kernel Sep 05 09:09:52 damn, things doesn't go smooth, post-installation script of libc6 segmented Sep 05 09:11:45 well seems I've probably broken it Sep 05 09:11:56 ideas ? Sep 05 09:15:09 ad-n770: userspace can be updated even to 13.04. the problem may be with old kernel Sep 05 09:16:26 any procedure suggested to unbrick it ? Sep 05 09:17:38 ad-n770: get to bootloader, boot other system image? Sep 05 09:17:44 hrw, jaunty armel was just "debian rebuild in the ubuntu infarstructure" ... from karmic on it was VFP, ARMv6 etc etc ... it can well be the new libc incompatible uses instructions Sep 05 09:18:08 *uses incompatible instructions Sep 05 09:18:30 ogra_: imx51 should be able to use it anywya Sep 05 09:18:43 hrw, but probably not the installed system :) Sep 05 09:19:12 mx51 is slow as hell anyway Sep 05 09:19:26 mmm, behind the battery I've found more card reader slots Sep 05 09:19:30 yeah, cortex-a8 isnt really for desktops Sep 05 09:19:46 ad-n770: can you share a photo of device? Sep 05 09:20:25 it's a black netbook with lenovo text on the screen Sep 05 09:20:33 * ogra_ guesses it has genesi printed on the lid Sep 05 09:20:38 oh Sep 05 09:20:45 ad-n770: photo please Sep 05 09:20:58 give me a sec Sep 05 09:21:04 I may guess that it is yet another pegatron clone like efikamx Sep 05 09:21:44 anyway, a) you would need to upgrade from jaunty via karmic, going straight to lucid wouldnt work ... Sep 05 09:21:59 and b) the ABI changed massively between jaunty and lucid Sep 05 09:27:50 https://www.dropbox.com/s/bgy9ykc1tn0p5sb/photo%20%281%29.JPG Sep 05 09:28:10 lenovo written in the screen Sep 05 09:28:41 plug for power, phones and SD card on left Sep 05 09:28:59 two usb and an empty hole at right side Sep 05 09:30:27 with battery removed I've found what seems a micro SD slot and another slot I can't identify Sep 05 09:33:31 yet another pegatron ;) Sep 05 09:33:41 ad-n770: its sim slot Sep 05 09:33:55 ad-n770: find instructions for efikamx smartbook and follow Sep 05 09:34:08 now it's just bricked, I read "input: pegatron kunlun extra buttons" Sep 05 09:34:18 ad-n770: it is not Sep 05 09:34:27 ad-n770: it just look that way Sep 05 09:35:02 http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2012/02/01/flashing-u-boot-on-efika-mx-smartbook/ is one post to help Sep 05 09:35:36 reading it now Sep 05 09:36:26 ad-n770: http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/ may also help Sep 05 09:37:18 ad-n770: join #efika channel as well Sep 05 09:38:08 ad-n770: or just put it into box with "electrotrashes" sign on it Sep 05 09:38:26 I will try to recover it Sep 05 12:29:25 ogra_, BTW: You are responsible for http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/302/builds/52690/testcases right? Sep 05 12:29:48 Since phillw resigned from his QA Lead role, I thought it might be a good idea to remind you of it Sep 05 12:32:46 smartboyhw, i'll try to find some time for testing the final image Sep 05 23:02:27 infinity: ping **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 06 02:59:59 2013
