**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 26 02:59:56 2011 Jul 26 07:45:57 persia, you there Jul 26 07:54:10 Hi! I had to leave yesterday, but I still have a problem to boot ubuntu-arm on pandaboard, after showing ubuntu logo the monitor switches to powersave mode. Do you have any ideas what can be the problem and how to solve it? Jul 26 07:54:41 kapinter, ya i was searching for you yesterday Jul 26 07:54:52 inbetween i also got busy with something Jul 26 07:55:16 siji: thanks alot! :-) Jul 26 07:55:37 I had a look into ur bootarg , seems like it's ok Jul 26 07:55:53 from where you got the RootFS ? Jul 26 07:56:11 have you build it your own by using rootstock? Jul 26 07:56:40 persia,completed XBMC build successfully Jul 26 07:56:56 it's working fine now on beagleboard with ubntu natty Jul 26 07:59:37 siji: I just downloaded it and used the sudo sh -c 'zcat ./ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+.img.gz >/dev/' script Jul 26 07:59:57 siji: from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/ Jul 26 08:00:00 ok Jul 26 08:00:36 kapinter, may be cose the resolution is not supported by ur monitor Jul 26 08:01:58 siji: maybe, but when I switch to tty with CTRL+ALT+F2 it also disappears. What resolution should my monitor support? Jul 26 08:04:36 kapinter, I suggest you to add kernel debug trace in your bootarg Jul 26 08:04:46 which wil tell u wht exaclty the error is Jul 26 08:04:58 ok, and how can I do it? Jul 26 08:05:16 In your rootfs there will be a file named as boot.script Jul 26 08:05:23 @/boot Jul 26 08:05:45 add console=ttyO2,115200n8 there Jul 26 08:06:00 then create new boot.scr from this script Jul 26 08:06:16 ok Jul 26 08:10:08 http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_on_OMAP_FAQ Jul 26 08:10:23 kapinter, it may help you Jul 26 08:24:52 When trying to install libc6 i get "dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Illegal instruction)" - What can I do? Jul 26 08:26:03 what CPU Jul 26 08:26:48 chances are your cpu is not ARMv7 compatible, which is what ubuntu requires Jul 26 08:27:22 "ARM Cortex A8" Jul 26 08:38:08 How can I build a chroot environment image of 2GB size with ubuntu-minimal in it? Jul 26 08:39:53 I assume i somehow create a 2GB image, mount it somewhere and then chroot into it... has someone got some sort of guide for that? Jul 26 08:42:15 nicofs, so your image is ready ? Jul 26 08:42:37 if not create a image as per this doc Jul 26 08:42:39 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch Jul 26 08:42:59 then mount this image into a folder Jul 26 08:43:08 after that chroot to this folder Jul 26 08:43:59 siji, so rootstock is some sort of debootstrap for arm...? Jul 26 08:44:06 right Jul 26 08:44:42 for generating image dnt forget to give the argument --notarball Jul 26 08:52:09 siji, if i use this --notarball option, what filesystem will be inside the image? Jul 26 08:53:59 or does that just mean, rootstock won't compress it and that i need to create the image first and then rootstock into that image? Jul 26 08:54:51 nicofs, no it will generate file system too Jul 26 08:55:01 And I think it's ext4 (not sure) Jul 26 08:55:11 siji, i think i need ext2... Jul 26 08:55:55 nicofs, the method which you mentioned hasnt worked for me Jul 26 08:56:11 I failed to chroot to it Jul 26 08:56:19 i'll just give it a go as it is and then use the long way round if it doesn't work... Jul 26 08:56:43 ok Jul 26 09:11:04 siji, rootstock aborted with errors... permission denied to change ownership of files... i'll run again and see when this occurs... Jul 26 09:11:17 nicofs, ok Jul 26 09:49:17 siji, rootstock segfaults... but before i deal with any of that, i'll have lunch... Jul 26 09:49:56 nicofs, i suggest to start the rootstock process, then move for lunch :) Jul 26 09:50:00 :) Jul 26 09:54:28 siji, that just segfaulted... if i run it again, it will do that again iguess... but anyway, why not... Jul 26 09:55:02 nicofs, srry Jul 26 09:55:48 i hasnt noticed ,"rootstock segfaults.." Jul 26 10:07:23 siji: I just noticed I have this in dmesg Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.173492] hdmi: Enter HDMI_W1_StopVideoFrame() Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.173522] hdmi: *** Set PHY power mode to 0 Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.202758] hdmi: 4000000 hdmi_wp_irqstatus Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.231964] hdmi: 81 hdmi_core_sys_sys_stat Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.290405] hdmi: disconnect, Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.290405] hdmi: Irqenable 66000001 Jul 26 10:07:25 [ 28.290405] hdmi: 0 hpd Jul 26 10:07:26 [ 28.290405] hdmi: intr=00000000 Jul 26 10:07:26 [ 28.320434] hdmi: 40000000 hdmi_wp_irqstatus Jul 26 10:07:27 [ 28.349670] hdmi: 81 hdmi_core_sys_sys_stat Jul 26 10:07:27 [ 28.408081] hdmi: Irqenable 66000001 Jul 26 10:07:28 [ 28.408081] hdmi: 0 hpd Jul 26 10:07:59 but otherwise nothing suspicious Jul 26 10:09:27 how can i set more resolutionthan 640x480 on panda with DELL 3008 attached with hdmi? Jul 26 10:13:10 kapinter, pls pastebin xorg.log Jul 26 10:16:42 siji: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/652321/ Jul 26 10:23:55 kapinter, doubt about "Virtual size is 1680x1050 (pitch 1680) Jul 26 10:23:55 " Jul 26 10:25:33 siji: good point! :-) I will check it! Jul 26 10:27:37 kapinter, may you have to set the resolution manually Jul 26 10:28:44 may maverick is predefined by some specific resolution which is not matching here Jul 26 10:39:25 siji, depending on whether i choose xubuntu or ubuntu-minimal i get segfault or operation not permitted... Jul 26 10:40:16 nicofs, what are the parameters in ur rootstock ? Jul 26 10:40:45 nicofs, if you want minimal OS , then add lxde Jul 26 10:40:49 siji, the ones from that guide you gave me... Jul 26 10:40:52 ok Jul 26 10:41:15 siji, i'd already be happy with cli only and do the rest from within the system... Jul 26 10:41:23 cool Jul 26 10:42:05 siji, that's why i used ubuntu-minimal... but if even that doesn't work... but maybe it's my host system - i'll try my other pc... Jul 26 10:43:03 rootstock -f "name" -l "loginname" -p "password" -i "imagesize" -d "ubuntu_distroname" --seed lxde,openssh,wget Jul 26 10:43:39 You can add more in seed with coma for adding more packages Jul 26 10:44:09 siji, yes - did that... Jul 26 10:44:18 ok Jul 26 10:44:30 i always add wget and aptitude... Jul 26 10:44:34 ok Jul 26 10:45:41 if you are targeting omap board then add linux-omap Jul 26 10:46:55 where do i add linux-omap? Jul 26 10:56:57 siji: nice work! Jul 26 11:06:06 siji: where can I edit monitor settings? can't find xorg.conf Jul 26 11:06:37 kapinter, it wont be there Jul 26 11:06:44 xorg is doing by it's own Jul 26 11:07:01 so either you have to create xorg.conf file Jul 26 11:07:18 or add this parameters in bootarg Jul 26 11:11:54 siji, i successfully created an image... let's see if it works on the target device... Jul 26 11:12:19 great Jul 26 11:12:47 If qemu-arm-static binary is not there in ur host , it may give some errors Jul 26 11:47:58 How to start X by using rs232 connection of beagleboard? Jul 26 12:09:34 kunguz: What filesystem are you using? If the filesystem contains X and a desktop environment, it will usually start by itself Jul 26 12:23:47 dmart: when I type sudo lxdm it starts but what should I type when I am using rs232 Jul 26 12:25:05 kunguz, sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm start Jul 26 12:46:05 siji, kunguz: Sounds plausible to me. If lxdm uses upstart though, you might neet to type "sudo start lxdm" instead Jul 26 12:51:32 dmart, right Jul 26 12:53:07 ok im new to linux much less Android or ARM devices but is it possible if to at any time use a pure Ubuntu distro for arm on an ARM based tablet ? (ARM9 w/ v5l instruction set) Jul 26 13:13:15 CaelThunderwing: The most recent build of Ubuntu that will run on ARMv5 is jaonty (9.04). If you want something more up-to-date then Debian's armel port might be a better bet. Jul 26 13:13:25 CaelThunderwing: Yes, for some tablets, but that particular one is ARMv5. You want to use Debian there. Jul 26 13:16:04 CaelThunderwing: either way, you will need to do some manual setup -- I suggest you search the web to see if there are other people tying to achieve similar things with the same hardware. Someone may already have come up with a recipe for doing it. Jul 26 13:16:47 how would i go installing it? for these tablets thers just the wmt_script and FirmwareInstall foldre you copy to SD. Jul 26 13:17:18 CaelThunderwing: It really depends on the specific hardware and the content of the firmware for the device. Jul 26 13:17:31 WM8650 Jul 26 13:17:49 device: http://www.ekengroup.com/m009s/ Jul 26 13:17:54 *if* you have a means to update the firmware, you may be able to install crafted firmware that loads linux, which then connects to some filesystem that matches your install. Jul 26 13:18:34 The other option, that works for some devices, is that the firmware might have some facility for loading the operating system in a well-described way, which instructions you may be able to follow. Jul 26 13:19:34 We usually advse folk to look for device-specific communities as leaders in finding out *how* to install some linux. From that, we may be able to help install Ubuntu, but for your device, you will want to run Debian once you can run linux. Jul 26 13:26:08 atleast when it begins the Flashing process for Android it does load a Form of linux. Jul 26 13:26:54 Lots of Android devices seem to use fastboot, and expect images that would be generated with abootimg. Jul 26 13:27:05 android itself is a form of linux :) Jul 26 13:27:15 Dunno if that would work for your device, or the state of fastboot/abootimg in Debian today. Jul 26 13:27:36 pretty much all android devices use the fastboot loader fot loading the kernel image at least Jul 26 13:27:55 the only exception I have seen to that is the non tegra galaxy devices Jul 26 13:28:00 Indeed. Android and Ubuntu are just different userspaces for the same class of kernels (although each has some requirements of the kernel that the other doesn't have) Jul 26 13:28:10 So, it's all "linux" in a very real sense. Jul 26 13:29:12 :) my flashable image package works :D Jul 26 13:29:29 Hurrah! Jul 26 13:29:57 nvflash repartitioning :p Jul 26 13:30:03 http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/4145/unledpyi.png that sthe content inside the FirmarwInstall Folder. Jul 26 13:30:23 hmm uboot Jul 26 13:42:20 any idea lilstevie? Jul 27 00:20:38 hi Jul 27 00:32:37 hi Jul 27 02:17:49 when i run apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras failed , because of depending on gstreamer-plugins-bad in repo Jul 27 02:17:55 any help? Jul 27 02:45:23 Mitnick: maverick? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 27 02:59:57 2011
