Aug 28 11:52:07 <dcordes> rsalveti: I just found your lp bug with the fix for thumb2 crash on webm content
Aug 28 11:52:20 <dcordes> rsalveti: been looking for a solution to this for a while
Aug 28 11:52:38 <dcordes> rsalveti: I am wondering if we can make it available in the natty updates
Aug 28 11:53:15 <dcordes> rsalveti: I know many ppl who run natty on ARM tablets etc. and it would be nice to get webm on all these images floating around on the net
Aug 28 18:29:57 <bkerensa> GrueMaster: Hi
Aug 28 18:29:58 <bkerensa> :D
Aug 28 19:18:14 <jo-erlend> I'm downloading 10.04 Netbook live image since it says it's for OMAP3 devices and I have an IGEPv2 OMAP3. But how do I use it? Can I just dd it onto the memory card and boot?
Aug 28 19:19:15 <jo-erlend> and if so... Is there an image for oneiric as well?
Aug 28 19:19:46 <GrueMaster> jo-erlend: You would be better off with the 11.04 image as the omap3 kernel there covers more hw.  The 10.04 was a tech preview only for Beagle.
Aug 28 19:20:06 <jo-erlend> oh, ok... I think I remember that, now that you mention it.
Aug 28 19:20:17 <jo-erlend> I'd really prefer oneiric, if there is an image for it?
Aug 28 19:20:45 <GrueMaster> And yes, dd is how you write to an SD.  Instructions are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM
Aug 28 19:21:10 <jo-erlend> I can't find an image for 11.04 either. That's why I started to download 10.04.
Aug 28 19:21:30 <GrueMaster> The last released image for Oneiric was Alpha 3, but Beta 1 release testing begins tomorrow with release on Thursday.
Aug 28 19:22:17 <jo-erlend> there's no daily image?
Aug 28 19:22:22 <GrueMaster> It is now under http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-preinstalled.  It more closely matches the x86 desktop, so we dropped the netbook name.
Aug 28 19:22:30 <jo-erlend> ah.
Aug 28 19:23:09 <jo-erlend> I suppose upgrading from a3 to b1 will take quite some time on an OMAP3?
Aug 28 19:24:06 <GrueMaster> Possibly.  But if you grab the daily-preinstalled/current, it won't be as bad.
Aug 28 19:24:21 <jo-erlend> where can I find that?
Aug 28 19:24:32 <jo-erlend> ah.. :)
Aug 28 19:24:57 <jo-erlend> I found it. :)
Aug 28 19:25:28 <jo-erlend> will I still have to compile a kernel, etc, or should it just work?
Aug 28 19:25:32 <GrueMaster> I have to run.  It's my day off, so massive yard work is commencing.  Need to get a load of gravel before they close.
Aug 28 19:25:49 <GrueMaster> I don't know how much support for iegp2 you can expect.
Aug 28 19:25:51 <jo-erlend> oh... Have fun and thanks for helping :)
Aug 28 19:26:08 <jo-erlend> GrueMaster, I'll let you know then :)
Aug 28 19:26:18 <GrueMaster> Good luck.
Aug 28 19:26:25 <jo-erlend> thanks. :)
Aug 28 20:20:01 <jo-erlend> now I remember. The IGEPv2 doesn't boot from boot.scr. I think it uses some kind of ini-file.
Aug 28 20:23:34 <infinity> jo-erlend: Assuming our uBoot and xLoader work on igepv2, you might just be able to cp boot.scr boot.ini and be done.
Aug 28 20:24:33 <infinity> jo-erlend: If not, you might been the uBoot and xLoader from here, and have to re-create the boot image: http://labs.igep.es/index.php/How_to_get_the_Ubuntu_distribution
Aug 28 20:27:29 <jo-erlend> infinity, it's only for 10.10 though.
Aug 28 20:28:23 <infinity> Those old bootloaders would still work with our newer kernels.  But, there's a fair chance our current bootloaders might Just Work anyway, if you rename boot.scr.
Aug 28 20:28:40 <infinity> I can't say for sure, since I've never had a chance to play with an IGEPv2 board.
Aug 28 20:31:59 <jo-erlend> infinity, I had a brief look at the boot.scr file from the Ubuntu image. It seems to be configured for a resolution my monitor doesn't support. How do I change it?
Aug 28 20:37:23 <infinity> jo-erlend: Is it using omapfb.mode=dvi:?? notation?
Aug 28 20:38:22 <jo-erlend> infinity, I think so. I don't really know what that means.
Aug 28 20:38:33 <infinity> If so, something like omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768MR-16@60 might work on your older monitor.
Aug 28 20:38:33 <jo-erlend> that's what it looks like in the boot.scr file.
Aug 28 20:38:50 <jo-erlend> yes, but how do I make that into a valid boot.ini file?
Aug 28 20:39:10 <infinity> Just copy boot.scr to boot.ini, and edit the command line.
Aug 28 20:39:22 <jo-erlend> what command line? I have no screen.
Aug 28 20:39:25 <infinity> boot.ini is the same format as boot.scr, just a different filename to be difficult. :P
Aug 28 20:39:43 <infinity> Err.  I mean, edit the kernel command line in boot.ini.
Aug 28 20:39:50 <infinity> Surely, you're doing this on another computer.
Aug 28 20:39:55 <infinity> One with a monitor. :)
Aug 28 20:40:05 <jo-erlend> yes. But is it just a text file?
Aug 28 20:40:09 <infinity> Yes.
Aug 28 20:40:38 <infinity> Well, ish.  Some implementations have a whacky hex header.
Aug 28 20:40:50 <infinity> But if you edit in something like vim, it will happily just leave that alone.
Aug 28 20:40:51 <jo-erlend> it can't be opened in gedit.
Aug 28 20:40:56 <jo-erlend> oh, ok.
Aug 28 20:42:04 * infinity wanders off to have a Sunday.
Aug 28 20:42:06 <infinity> Good luck. :)
Aug 28 20:44:17 <jo-erlend> :)
Aug 28 20:44:25 <jo-erlend> doesn't seem to want to boot.
Aug 28 20:44:48 <jo-erlend> perhaps I'll just have to use 10.10 and then upgrade and upgrade and upgrade :)
Aug 28 20:46:30 <jo-erlend> I don't understand why they don't just make an image and make it available.
Aug 28 20:46:54 <jo-erlend> the last time I wanted to boot that thing, I spent a week getting it to start.
Aug 28 20:50:07 <jo-erlend> is it normal for these kinds of ARM boards to require so much labor in order to boot?
Aug 28 20:50:50 <jo-erlend> heh.. I mean.. Installing Ubuntu on my laptop takes about 15 minutes. Installing it on ARM takes about 15 days. :)
