**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 14 02:59:59 2015 Oct 14 06:31:18 hello Oct 14 06:31:55 how can I boot into the command line? All I can find on the internet uses grub, which I don't have Oct 14 09:10:40 is there any way to run gstreamer on ubuntu 14 arm? Oct 14 09:20:54 sure Oct 14 09:21:29 how? I can't seem to find any packages for it Oct 14 09:21:39 (not sure what you mean by 14... but indeed, the whole ubuntu archive is available for arm (some exotic languages are missing i think)) Oct 14 09:22:55 oh really? I tried apt-get install gstreamer Oct 14 09:22:59 and it didn't work Oct 14 09:24:10 do i have to download the sdk? Oct 14 09:24:12 because no such package exists (doesnt on x86 either) ... try apt-cache search gstreamer to see the package names that match Oct 14 09:24:30 ok thanks ogra_ Oct 14 09:24:44 I'll try that when I get home Oct 14 12:13:49 Help, how do I set boot parameters in Ubuntu MATE for the Raspberry Pi 2 Oct 14 12:15:57 flexiondotorg, ^^^ Oct 14 12:16:24 * ogra_ has no clue how the bootloader is set up on the mate images Oct 14 12:17:04 I think I found something... there's HDMI stuff configured in /boot/config.txt Oct 14 12:18:22 if it just uses the binary blob for bootin, then yes, config.txt and cmdline.txt are the files Oct 14 12:20:10 Langley, edit /boot/config.txt and/or /boot/cmdline.txt Oct 14 12:20:45 ogra_, In Ubuntu MATE 15.04 the Raspberry Pi 2 image used a real kernel. Oct 14 12:20:48 It didn't do any difference... I'll try some more Oct 14 12:21:23 But for Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for Raspberry Pi 2 I'm using the "kernel" and firmware from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Oct 14 12:21:41 Langley, What is it your want to do? Oct 14 12:22:01 ogra_, That came about because I went a Raspberry Jam at the weekend. Oct 14 12:22:09 flexiondotorg, whats a "real kernel" ? :) Oct 14 12:22:17 It's for a TV that doesn't report supported resolutions, so I want it to force 1920x1080 on startup Oct 14 12:22:21 And discovered the Ubuntu MATE was being used quite extensively. Oct 14 12:22:32 our official images use a real kernel too ;) Oct 14 12:22:54 i guess you mean you dont chainload uboot to then load kernel and initrd :) Oct 14 12:22:58 But the feedback was. Loved the Ubuntu archive. Loved MATE. But didn't like that it was different to Raspbian for hacking. Oct 14 12:23:13 ogra_, So I'm making 15.10 more Raspbian like. Oct 14 12:23:25 good luck with that Oct 14 12:23:29 By real kernel I mean compiled from source, with meta packages for headers etc. Oct 14 12:23:39 Not the blob from the foundation. Oct 14 12:24:03 we use an archive kernel with headers and tools from the archive ;) Oct 14 12:24:20 ogra_, It's all working and I've ported a heap of utilities, libraries and applications to Ubuntu 15.10. Oct 14 12:24:28 not sure why one or the other would be more "real" Oct 14 12:25:00 i guess you'll get problems getting the bootloader into the archive in some way that you can consume it in official image builds Oct 14 12:25:01 ogra_, The Raspberry Pi community want to be able to use rpi-update to automatically grab the latest kernel and blobs. Oct 14 12:25:10 So, I've added support for that. Oct 14 12:25:13 ugh Oct 14 12:25:17 It is working very well. Oct 14 12:25:27 sure, but forget about "official" builds then Oct 14 12:25:34 ogra_, Yep. Oct 14 12:25:40 They weren't official anyway. Oct 14 12:25:49 well, the snappy ones are Oct 14 12:26:01 They are build with ~500 line of bash on one of my laptops ;-) Oct 14 12:26:03 and will likely soon get support for graphical bits Oct 14 12:26:19 ogra_, Yeah, my plan is to work on a snappy version. Oct 14 12:26:24 cool :) Oct 14 12:26:38 ogra_, And keep this build for the makers. Oct 14 12:27:56 * ogra_ thinks snappy is raher more for "makers" (i.e. robot and embedded builders) Oct 14 12:28:15 Langley, Well you should be editing /boot/firmware/config.txt to tweak the video options. Oct 14 12:33:29 Wait so it's another file? Not /boot/config.txt ? Oct 14 12:37:38 flexiondotorg: ?? Oct 14 12:38:17 Langley, They are linked. I overlay mounted. I forget which. Oct 14 12:40:48 Okay.... Well I don't understand anything now. It looks like I forgot to uncomment all the stuff I made, yet it still... broke it Oct 14 12:41:38 I'll try again Oct 14 13:44:54 Allright it worked, with the resolution part. But now it turns the display off after a while, even though it is set not to in Power settings... Any ideas?? Oct 14 15:14:42 hello everyone Oct 14 15:15:24 I am trying to boot to the command line with ubuntu 14 arm running on a raspberry pi 2, how can I go about doing this? Oct 14 15:18:21 regum: Possibly relevant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi Oct 14 15:19:13 genii, that's where I got the image Oct 14 15:21:24 regum: If you follow the instructions there, step by step, you should be fine Oct 14 15:21:43 I'm fine, but I end up with a permanent gui Oct 14 15:21:47 I don't want that Oct 14 15:27:54 regum: You should have ended up with an ubuntu-minimal install, without any gui whatsoever ( if you followed the instructions properly). Or did you install one of the desktops (kubuntu, lubuntu,xubuntu, ubuntu, etc) ? Oct 14 15:28:07 i needed lubuntu Oct 14 15:28:20 no worries though, I seem to have figured it out Oct 14 15:29:00 if you're interested, adding 'single' to the kernel parameters did it Oct 14 15:36:09 ..but that drops you to root... Oct 14 15:50:42 regnum you can turn off X11 startup, instead of going to single-user mode. Oct 14 15:53:05 usually it's something like 'lightdm'. so easiest way to disable: sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled Oct 14 15:53:16 then reboot. should startup in console mode. Oct 14 16:02:05 zirpu: They left a while ago now, but may return after they discover the system isn't entering runlevels 2 through 5 Oct 14 21:06:58 hello everyone Oct 14 21:07:19 when I turn a raspberry on, it boots to a root user Oct 14 21:07:36 it refuses my ssh connection until i log in as a user Oct 14 21:07:47 how can I make it so that i don't have to do this? Oct 14 21:40:40 regum: "boots to a root user"? If it's a proper ubuntu install, it should boot to a login prompt. Oct 14 21:40:55 regum: If you're getting a shell, it's probably a recovery shell that is asking you to fsck your filesystem. Oct 14 21:41:11 regum: Which, indeed, won't have multiuser capabilities like SSH started. Oct 14 21:41:33 infinity: single user mode does boot directly into root Oct 14 21:41:45 its like recovery Oct 14 21:41:58 k1l_: Right, same same. Oct 14 21:42:25 ah wait. we sorted that already in #ubuntu. he missed the solutions and remarks when he quit to fast Oct 14 21:42:29 regum_2: Did the other regum see all my messages? :P Oct 14 21:43:11 I don't know who the other regum is, I thought noone would have this username Oct 14 21:43:13 oh well Oct 14 21:43:19 The other regum was you. :P Oct 14 21:43:35 not any more Oct 14 21:43:43 apparently Oct 14 21:44:06 it wouldn't have pushed me into regum_2 if regum wan't taken, would it? Oct 14 21:44:16 I'm new to irc, sorry Oct 14 21:44:17 regum_2: Anyhow, you're either booting to a recovery shell or to single user mode. You're not in a full multiuser system at that point. Oct 14 21:44:27 regum_2: Yes, it was taken, by you. And then you timed out. Oct 14 21:44:30 15:42 -!- regum_2 [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-arm Oct 14 21:44:33 15:42 -!- regum [~regum@240.Red-88-17-203.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 255 Oct 14 21:44:47 well that's kinda weird Oct 14 21:45:07 I fixed it :) Oct 14 21:45:09 regum_2: on irc the old connections are kept for a bit if you reconnect your internet connection and not properly shut down the irc lcient. Oct 14 21:45:19 I disabled the 'single' and run this: Oct 14 21:45:22 sudo mv /etc/init/lightdm.conf /etc/init/lightdm.conf.disabled Oct 14 21:45:28 it works like a charm Oct 14 21:45:43 oh yeah, I might have done that Oct 14 21:45:43 if you have a registered nick on freenode you can "ghost " that old connection and make you use your nick again Oct 14 21:45:53 didn't know that would happen though Oct 14 21:45:54 sorry Oct 14 21:46:23 well, tomorrow I'll log in as regum? Oct 14 21:46:26 it's fine then Oct 14 22:15:49 hmm, he could have just replaced "single" with "text" .... would have saved him from moving the lightdm job around Oct 14 22:16:48 told him that already in #ubuntu but he didnt wanted it to change back then. Oct 14 22:18:39 ah well, whatever helps him :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 15 02:59:59 2015
