Sep 15 03:00:11 <Cuong> Hello everyone, I am using the BB-xM RevB. Do you know any Angstrom Image SD card is suitable for my board?
Sep 15 03:00:18 <Cuong> Thank you so much
Sep 15 03:20:45 <mranostay> heh
Sep 15 03:32:01 * mranostay gets cracking on his slides
Sep 15 03:32:15 <ds2> mranostay: you got like a month
Sep 15 03:33:09 <mranostay> dude if i don't start now i'll wait till the last moment :)
Sep 15 03:33:58 <ds2> last minute works
Sep 15 03:34:07 <ds2> like the few hours you are on the plane
Sep 15 03:34:51 <mranostay> first talk i've given so can't hurt to be overprepared :)
Sep 15 03:35:06 <ds2> just do it.
Sep 15 03:35:12 <ds2> preparation is overrated
Sep 15 03:35:31 <ds2> slides don't matter anyways... know the subject inside out and start talking
Sep 15 04:00:36 <ka6sox> slides are not important...content is.
Sep 15 04:01:05 <mranostay> yes yes i know :)
Sep 15 04:01:27 <mranostay> slides are the index cards i had in speech class basically :)
Sep 15 04:20:05 <ds2> don't use index card...know the material
Sep 15 04:39:39 <mranostay> true dat :)
Sep 15 04:39:51 * mranostay heads to MV for a brew
Sep 15 04:46:41 <monttyle_> Is there any particular kernel I should be using for beagleboard-xm?
Sep 15 05:07:43 <ds2> MV?
Sep 15 05:07:51 <ds2> oh mountain view... not the other MV
Sep 15 05:20:35 <ka6sox> mission Viejo?
Sep 15 05:20:46 <ka6sox> Monte Vista?
Sep 15 05:30:15 <_av500_> gm
Sep 15 05:33:54 <dm8tbr> gm
Sep 15 05:34:45 <ds2> ka6sox: you down in MV?
Sep 15 05:42:08 <ka6sox> ds2, nope
Sep 15 05:42:20 <ka6sox> was by there this last weekend though!
Sep 15 05:48:02 <ds2> ka6sox: how do you get down there? all the routes i can imagine sucks
Sep 15 05:56:42 <ka6sox> ds2, they ALL suck...
Sep 15 05:56:50 <ka6sox> like the Bayshore @ rushhour
Sep 15 06:06:44 <_av500_> go post physical
Sep 15 06:07:01 <_av500_> transcend
Sep 15 06:07:07 <_av500_> into the cloud
Sep 15 08:11:26 <Russ> #1 comment is #1 comment http://imgur.com/gallery/lNM2Z
Sep 15 08:13:21 <koen> Russ: my first thought was 'vlc' and then I scrolled down to read the comments :)
Sep 15 08:13:32 <koen> time to check into geek rehab
Sep 15 08:13:58 <Russ> I always fill my car with VLC
Sep 15 08:24:47 <jacekowski> how any thinking person can run out of petrol in a car with working fuel gauge
Sep 15 08:25:20 <Russ> I hear in some parts of the world, they actually give tickets
Sep 15 08:25:38 <jacekowski> that should be instant lifetime ban
Sep 15 08:26:24 <jacekowski> unless you can prove that fuel gauge is faulty
Sep 15 08:26:54 <jacekowski> in my car it shows empty when there is over 50% still left in the tank
Sep 15 08:27:30 <Russ> jacekowski, get your gauge fixed :)
Sep 15 08:27:47 <jacekowski> nah, it's aparently designed like that
Sep 15 08:28:42 <jacekowski> only real warning i get is when car stops accelerating when air bubbles start getting into fuel lines
Sep 15 08:28:53 <jacekowski> and even then there is still 50 miles worth of fuel left in there
Sep 15 08:30:20 <jacekowski> i did test it once
Sep 15 08:30:40 <jacekowski> but i did have 2x5 liters can for when it happens
Sep 15 08:30:57 <jacekowski> and it was 350 miles when gauge was at 0
Sep 15 08:31:05 <jacekowski> and almost 700 when car stopped
Sep 15 08:34:57 <Russ> so you are one of those thinking persons who ran out of petrol?
Sep 15 08:36:39 <jacekowski> petrol in the tank
Sep 15 08:36:49 <jacekowski> i had extra petrol cans for when it happens
Sep 15 08:36:57 <Russ> :)
Sep 15 08:37:09 <Russ> but did you bring a traffic cone with you?
Sep 15 08:37:20 <ogra_> as a funnel ?
Sep 15 08:37:22 <jacekowski> nah i had a funnel
Sep 15 09:06:27 <_av500_> I once rolled into a petrol station with an empty tank, it was downhill :)
Sep 15 09:07:05 <_av500_> and contrary to popular belief, the diesel just restarted
Sep 15 09:09:39 <ogra_> yeah, they ususally do that after the air was pumped out of the system
Sep 15 09:09:50 <ogra_> eats a bit more battery :)
Sep 15 09:10:56 <_av500_> that car had to be refuled strategically since it would not restart when too warm
Sep 15 09:11:06 <_av500_> +e
Sep 15 09:11:20 <ogra_> heh
Sep 15 09:11:29 <_av500_> it also did not start when too cold
Sep 15 09:11:32 <_av500_> lots of fun
Sep 15 09:11:42 <_av500_> space heater at home fixed that
Sep 15 09:11:45 <woglinde> ogra did you get your A10 tablet?
Sep 15 09:11:49 <ogra_> sounds like my old /8
Sep 15 09:11:57 <_av500_> ogra_: Ritmo Diesel :)
Sep 15 09:12:04 <_av500_> with blown compression
Sep 15 09:12:12 <ogra_> ah intalian engeneering :)
Sep 15 09:12:17 <ogra_> *italian
Sep 15 09:12:22 <_av500_> yes, but the Diesel was french
Sep 15 09:12:29 <ogra_> woglinde, no :( they want the invoice first
Sep 15 09:12:30 <_av500_> best of both worlds
Sep 15 09:12:35 <woglinde> ogra haha
Sep 15 09:12:38 <_av500_> ogra_: what craplet is it?
Sep 15 09:12:50 <ogra_> zareason zatab
Sep 15 09:13:13 <_av500_> ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha?
Sep 15 09:13:24 <ogra_> seems someone wants to ship a few with edubuntu preinstalled
Sep 15 09:13:43 <ogra_> http://zareason.com/shop/zatab.html
Sep 15 09:14:35 <ogra_> they actually offer it without any OS installed
Sep 15 09:15:16 <_av500_> is it cheaper then?
Sep 15 09:15:22 <_av500_> get an Android refund?
Sep 15 09:15:29 <ogra_> doesnt seem like
Sep 15 09:15:36 <_av500_> sue them
Sep 15 09:15:38 <_av500_> class action
Sep 15 09:15:38 <ogra_> price doesnt change if i select the option
Sep 15 09:15:51 <_av500_> ask the $15 to M$ back!
Sep 15 09:15:52 <ogra_> well, i wont sue anyone, i got mine for free
Sep 15 09:16:04 <ogra_> well, once i have it :)
Sep 15 09:16:36 <ogra_> heh
Sep 15 09:16:42 <ogra_> ..."User Manual is being completed by an O'Reilly author"...
Sep 15 09:16:51 <ogra_> that must add quality to the product
Sep 15 09:16:54 <_av500_> adding spelling?
Sep 15 09:17:11 <woglinde> hm doesnt look this bad
Sep 15 09:18:01 <ogra_> i'll blog a review once i have it
Sep 15 14:12:12 <dalekbob> Dalek Bob built with a beagleboard!  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dalek-Bob/342437385850624
Sep 15 14:12:32 <dalekbob> but i need help with an upgrade
Sep 15 14:13:55 <dalekbob> beagleboard is there to act as voice changer.  Reads audio, applies 25Hz modulation, writes it out.
Sep 15 14:15:00 <dalekbob> Now I want to blink some high power LEDs with the voice
Sep 15 14:15:54 <dalekbob> but Im having trouble figuing out how to drive 3.3V 500ma LEDs
Sep 15 14:43:09 <_av500_> led driver
Sep 15 14:46:04 <mru> transistor?
Sep 15 14:50:56 <ogra_> mosfet mosfet mosfet !
Sep 15 15:09:12 <Cuong> Hello all guys, I have BB-xM revB, and I ported Angstrom alreadly. But nothing appears on the DVI  display, just the logo on the terminal
Sep 15 15:09:21 <Cuong> whats wrong with my board?
Sep 15 15:14:52 <Cuong> anyone here?
Sep 15 15:15:21 <adj> no, we're all asleep
Sep 15 15:17:57 <Cuong> Hi adj,
Sep 15 15:18:04 <Cuong> I have BB-xM revB, and I ported Angstrom alreadly. But nothing appears on the DVI  display, just the logo on the terminal
Sep 15 15:18:10 <Cuong> whats wrong with my board?
Sep 15 15:18:13 <adj> no idea
Sep 15 15:18:23 <adj> what instructions did you follow?
Sep 15 15:18:25 <Cuong> yeah, thank you. :D
Sep 15 15:18:48 <Cuong> http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext
Sep 15 15:19:00 <Cuong> I did what the page saying
Sep 15 15:19:20 <Cuong> and I used the demo image.
Sep 15 15:19:42 <adj> seems quite old, updated over a year ago
Sep 15 15:19:55 <adj> the "official" instructions are somewhere else
Sep 15 15:20:07 <Cuong> but my board just revB
Sep 15 15:20:22 <Cuong> my friends bought in 2010
Sep 15 15:21:05 <Cuong> I also try to build the image online at http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/
Sep 15 15:21:19 <Cuong> but the same result
Sep 15 15:21:47 <W1N9Zr0> did you make the uEnv.txt file?
Sep 15 15:21:58 <Cuong> yes,
Sep 15 15:22:26 <Cuong> the content here:
Sep 15 15:22:31 <Cuong> dvimode="hd720 omapfb.vram=0:8M,1:4M,2:4M" vram=16M optargs="consoleblank=0" console="tty0 console=ttyO2,115200n8"
Sep 15 15:23:07 <ogra_> looks like wrongly quoted
Sep 15 15:23:24 <ogra_> console="tty0 console=ttyO2,115200n8"
Sep 15 15:23:33 <ogra_> make that:
Sep 15 15:23:41 <ogra_> console="tty0" console="ttyO2,115200n8"
Sep 15 15:24:03 <Cuong> thank you so much. Let me try
Sep 15 15:24:27 <ogra_> (i doubt it will fix your issue ... but its an obvious error)
Sep 15 15:27:48 <Cuong> ogra_:
Sep 15 15:27:53 <Cuong> it doesnot work
Sep 15 15:28:29 <Cuong> just appears on the terminal
Sep 15 15:28:42 <Cuong> nothing on the DVI image
Sep 15 16:12:50 <icemetal> hello everyone
Sep 15 16:13:01 <icemetal> I have kernel panic this morning :(
Sep 15 16:13:11 <icemetal> I loaded a new filessystem
Sep 15 16:13:16 <icemetal> http://pastebin.com/Cwg53BBk
Sep 15 16:32:47 <mru> modprobe hhgttg
Sep 15 16:37:11 <icemetal> since it says no init found? how can I set it?
Sep 15 17:27:15 <_av500_> icemetal: well, is there init or not?
Sep 15 17:27:24 <_av500_> and what is the kernel command line
Sep 15 17:27:36 <_av500_> assume we are not looking over your shoulder
Sep 15 17:27:47 <icemetal> nevermind, I found out I took the SD card before it finish writing , :)
Sep 15 17:27:50 <icemetal> but thank you
Sep 15 17:36:22 <icemetal> another question :) the lights on the etherent are lit  but when I type ifconfig it says Link encap:Local Loopback  inet addr:127.0.0.1
Sep 15 17:36:40 <icemetal> what should I look for?
Sep 15 17:36:42 <torpor> /etc/init.d/networking restart
Sep 15 17:36:50 <torpor> see if you get a dhcp address assigned or not
Sep 15 17:36:58 <torpor> if not, config eth0 for either static or dynamic assignment
Sep 15 17:37:05 <icemetal> -bash: /etc/init.d/networking: No such file or directory
Sep 15 17:37:57 <icemetal> I'm looking how to config eth0
Sep 15 17:38:04 <icemetal> for dhcp
Sep 15 17:38:48 <torpor> cat /etc/networking/interfaces
Sep 15 17:38:53 <torpor> look for auto eth0
Sep 15 17:38:56 <torpor> add it if ifts not there
Sep 15 17:41:29 <icemetal> # Configure Loopback                                                                                                                      auto lo                                                                                                                                   iface lo inet loopback
Sep 15 17:41:32 <icemetal> sorry
Sep 15 17:41:46 <icemetal> I should used pastebin
Sep 15 17:42:01 <icemetal> but that's how it comes out in cat interfaces
Sep 15 17:44:32 <icemetal> how do I enable it?
Sep 15 17:44:43 <icemetal> it says auto lo not auto eth0
Sep 15 21:58:23 <hiredman> is the usb on the beaglebone kind of flaky? I have one of those mini wifi N adapters that seemed to be working fine, but now I am having trouble with it
Sep 15 21:59:39 <icemetal> is a bit hard to set it up I just got a wifi N adapter too
Sep 15 22:00:13 <hiredman> yeah, the connman stuff in angrstom is ridiculous
Sep 15 22:00:38 <icemetal> were you able to detect the wifi usb?
Sep 15 22:00:50 <icemetal> I rebuild the kernel I was getting firmware errors
Sep 15 22:00:57 <hiredman> yeah, it was working for the past few hours
Sep 15 22:01:10 <icemetal> which kernel did you use?
Sep 15 22:01:24 <hiredman> dunno, whatever I got running opkg update
Sep 15 22:01:43 <icemetal> uname -r?
Sep 15 22:01:58 <hiredman> the wifi isn't starting so getting in to the beaglebone is kind of a chore :)
Sep 15 22:02:28 <icemetal> oh, I'm trying to get it working in ad-hoc mode
Sep 15 22:03:56 <icemetal> it works just as regular wifi, I'm using the netgear N
Sep 15 22:04:02 <hiredman> the tricky bit for me was wifi and ethernet seem to be mutually exclusive, if I start it without ethernet plugged in, wifi would work, but if I plugged in the ethernet then wifi wouldn't work
Sep 15 22:05:10 <hiredman> lsusb hangs when I run it
Sep 15 22:05:52 <hiredman> 3.2.28
Sep 15 22:07:34 <icemetal> I have 3.1.2, where did you got 3.2.28?
Sep 15 22:08:58 <hiredman> opkg
Sep 15 22:09:18 <icemetal> that does not make sense
Sep 15 22:09:35 <icemetal> opkg is a package manager
Sep 15 22:09:39 <icemetal> not a kernel
Sep 15 22:09:49 <hiredman> yeah, but that is where it came from
Sep 15 22:10:01 <icemetal> opkg
Sep 15 22:10:06 <icemetal> oh ok
Sep 15 22:10:22 <icemetal> so you type opkg on begleboard and new kernel came up?
Sep 15 22:10:48 <hiredman> I run opkg update; opgk upgrade
Sep 15 22:10:54 <icemetal> oh ok
Sep 15 22:10:55 <hiredman> opkg upgrade takes forever to run
Sep 15 22:11:05 <hiredman> opkg list kernel-image\*
Sep 15 22:11:43 <hiredman> kernel-image-3.2.28 - 3.2.28-r16c+gitr720e07b4c1f687b61b147b31c698cb6816d72f01 is what I have installed
Sep 15 22:12:05 <icemetal> I thoug you had compile the kernel with the new wifi driver
Sep 15 22:12:14 <icemetal> but that great it worked right away
Sep 15 22:13:05 <hiredman> well, you still have to monkey with various config files
Sep 15 22:17:24 <hiredman> interesting
Sep 15 22:17:51 <hiredman> I if I put the wifi on a powered usb hub it is starting now, hmmm
Sep 15 22:20:42 <woglinde> you need kernel driver and firmware
Sep 15 22:20:50 <woglinde> otherwise errors are expected
Sep 15 22:21:10 <woglinde> sure power is another key
Sep 15 22:21:54 <hiredman> yeah, but that doesn't explain why it wasn't turning on before with this setup
Sep 15 22:22:29 <hiredman> I thought I wouldn't need a powered up if I powered the board with enough amps
