**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Feb 08 02:59:57 2012 Feb 08 04:25:51 Does anyone know if it could be harmful to plug a monitor into an already running pandaboard? Feb 08 04:28:57 I have no idea, but I would hope not! Feb 08 04:30:04 I'm embedding one in a robot and I'd like to be able to just hook up a monitor if I need to without turning it off. Normally it won't have a monitor on it. Feb 08 10:01:32 GrueMaster: you there? I'm getting an error with my local repo, apt-get appears to be looking in the wrong place :( Feb 08 10:01:46 deb http://192.168.1.205/ubuntu-ports/ oneiric main restricted universe multiverse is whats in my sources.list Feb 08 15:35:36 dioxin: Here now. You can start checking your server configuration by using a browser from another system to see if that address shows up. If you don't see anything at http://192.168.1.205/ubuntu-ports/ something is wrong with your server config. Feb 08 15:41:07 could people check if they are hit by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.6/+bug/926855 too ? Feb 08 15:41:08 Launchpad bug 926855 in gcc-4.6 "[ARMhf] gcc produces assembler it can't compile" [Undecided,New] Feb 08 15:46:08 Snark: It compiles fine here with "-marm", which I believe is default on all of our projects. janimo, is that correct? Feb 08 15:46:43 GrueMaster, yes, that is in a comment Feb 08 15:46:59 the problem is that it doesn't compile without, while it did before Feb 08 15:47:49 Yes, I know. I read the bug. I think -marm is a required setting (which is why I asked janimo for confirmation). Feb 08 15:56:15 GrueMaster, uh... if it were required, why isn't it on by default? Feb 08 15:57:22 Snark: I don't know the specifics, just repeating from memory. Mainly I run the tests, thats why I pinged another member of our team for more detail. Feb 08 15:58:02 the same source code was building on oneiric, and stops building on precise, that is why I think it's a bug on the compiler side... Feb 08 15:59:14 Snark: It could easily be an armhf specific issue too. Can you try in precise armel? (if not, I can in a little bit). Feb 08 16:02:31 GrueMaster, I don't have a precise armel install Feb 08 16:03:02 Ok. I can reimage a spare panda here. Feb 08 16:05:07 * Snark doesn't have spares Feb 08 16:05:24 I make experiments with the same device I use for my work... Feb 08 16:37:27 GrueMaster: the website shows up, but it only has ls-lR.gz and pool/ Feb 08 16:37:58 Then something happened and it isn't getting dists/ Feb 08 16:38:08 Check your ubumirror.conf Feb 08 16:38:37 which one? Feb 08 16:41:15 GrueMaster: my ubumirror.conf file in /etc/ubumirror.conf is a carbon copy of yours Feb 08 16:42:47 Check your latest /var/log/ubumirror/ubuports.log* to see if it indicates any issues. The app is supposed to pull updates from ./pool and then everything but ./pool. Feb 08 16:43:58 You should see this: Feb 08 16:43:58 tobin@mirror:/server/data/www$ ls ubuntu-ports Feb 08 16:43:58 dists indices ls-lR.gz pool project Feb 08 16:46:59 Which version of ubumirror are you running? dpkg-query -l ubumirror Feb 08 16:47:11 [receiver] io timeout after 601 seconds -- exiting Feb 08 16:47:40 0.3ubuntu3 Feb 08 16:47:58 for version of ubumirror Feb 08 16:48:11 let me check mine and make sure I didn't modify it locally. Feb 08 16:57:00 The only script I have changed was ubucdimage (has nothing to do with your issue). Feb 08 16:57:29 And 0.3ubuntu3 has been the latest since 10.04. Feb 08 16:58:00 running the following command as root atm /usr/bin/ubuports >> /var/log/ubumirror/cron.log Feb 08 16:58:12 and I've got the ubuport.log tail-f 'ed Feb 08 16:58:37 currently at pool/universe/t Feb 08 16:59:49 After it finishes with pool/*, it should show: Ubuntu ports pool sync completed. Feb 08 17:00:02 Followed by: Initiating Ubuntu ports dists and indices sync... Feb 08 17:07:55 Snark: I updated the bug report with my test results. Feb 08 17:09:06 Can you ping someone in #linaro and see what they think? They do a lot of the arm optimization to gcc. Feb 08 17:28:56 GrueMaster, I see Feb 08 18:09:22 GrueMaster, I was pointed to Michael Hope, which wasn't available, so I sent him a mail Feb 08 18:09:38 ok. Feb 08 18:10:20 Sorry about the run around. I'm just trying to get you hooked up with someone that would know more about this that I do. Feb 08 18:13:06 I'm used to getting run around with a cannon... you're a soft one! Feb 08 18:18:15 GrueMaster, -mthumb is our default, -marm only for a few cases where package got miscompiled Feb 08 18:19:16 Ah, there you are. What would you suggest in this case where it builds on oneiric but not precise w/o -marm? (I haven't tested with -mthumb) Feb 08 18:20:01 Snark, IIRC I saw similar errors where huge assembly code was generated by -funroll-loops, so that in thumb mode it could not be directly jumped too. I only vaguely remember though Feb 08 18:20:12 GrueMaster, it probably is a gcc issue Feb 08 18:20:31 good that Linaro GCC is a bugtask on this Feb 08 18:20:34 Yea, failed with -mthumb, Feb 08 18:21:11 Snark, as a work-around if you need the package on precise ASAP build with either -marm or try without funroll-loops Feb 08 18:21:25 otherwise we may need to wait for a gcc fix Feb 08 18:21:53 Snark, or try forcing a build with gcc-4.5 which was the default in oneiric to see it is indeed a regression Feb 08 18:22:12 but in either case these are workarounds and a proper fix in gcc is needed I'd say Feb 08 18:23:33 yes Feb 08 18:34:21 GrueMaster: the repo appears to be working now, no idea what was wrong with it :( Feb 08 18:35:37 I'm not sure why, but I had to run ubuports 3 times before I had a working mirror. Glad to hear you are up and running. I still recommend a 2 hour update period. Feb 08 18:36:25 Especially during times were we rebuild the entire pool (which I think is currently happening). Feb 08 20:18:16 holla Feb 08 20:23:55 Hi everybody! owner of a Pandaboard Rev.A4 I get stuck with a ubuntu11.10. Monitor, mouse & kbd are connected and detected but it seems that a problem while resising and mounting the filesystem append I can logging in in manual but what I am suppose to do to fix it? Does the activation of the console help finding a way through this issue? thanks! Feb 08 20:24:59 jom: Which image are you using? Feb 08 20:26:57 Hello Feb 08 20:27:50 this one : ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap4.img Feb 08 20:28:49 jom: Did you check the md5sum of the image? What is the error you are seeing? Feb 08 20:28:59 Im a bit new to linux, and need a little help. Im using Ubuntu 10.10 running via a 4GB image in chroot next to android on a samsung Galaxy SII. Feb 08 20:29:35 I was wondering if there was any place i could get ARM-specific applications. Most of the app center doesnt work. Feb 08 20:31:05 kurtank: You should be able to apt-get install any application in the ubuntu pool. I would recommend upgrading to at least 11.10, although you will see a marked performance increase if you were to start with 12.04 armhf. Feb 08 20:31:50 You can download a pre-built core chroot environment from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core. Feb 08 20:31:54 About upgrading: many users report that 11.10 runs slowly and breaks the image. Feb 08 20:32:59 I think its also worth mentioning that the only way to interact with ubuntu with this method is through VNC. Feb 08 20:33:28 Well, I am not very familiar with your usage model unfortunately. Feb 08 20:33:42 Im not surprised. Feb 08 20:33:56 Ah, similar to the "nookbuntu" image. Feb 08 20:33:56 Its more of a hack than anythint. Feb 08 20:35:45 The MD5 was correct. The error is "Errors were found while checking the disk drive for/." I zeroed the card with 'dd' ans unfortunatly it doesn't work better at this point Feb 08 20:36:31 What is the card brand/size/class? You may have a bad card. Feb 08 20:38:10 Yes you right I think it could have been that but I previously run an Angstrom distro on it and everything was Ok. The card is a microSD SANDISK/4GB/4 Feb 08 20:39:07 Angstrom doesn't do much except basic diag. It doesn't resize the image, and isn't as complete. Feb 08 20:39:20 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223128 This is the method and the image i used. Oddly, xchat irc downloaded ans installes fine. Feb 08 20:39:37 *and installed Feb 08 20:42:27 Someone also said it would be possible to get sound output, and USB host functions apparantly work. Autodetect will never work though and requires manual detection. Ive been using linux for about only a week and i have no idea how to do that. Feb 08 20:42:41 I agree with you GrueMaster about angstrom distro. I don't want to start here a Troll but Angstrom it really nice when you need just a console coz it has a very low memory sized and very efficient. A tool for every needs ;o) Feb 08 20:43:21 Could you explain why the image is then resized I don't get the point on that Feb 08 20:43:23 Oh, don't get me wrong, it is an excellent diagnostic image. Feb 08 20:45:24 The image is pregenerated on our servers. We needed a way to get the image on a variety of SD cards w/o knowing the size of the card in advance. This setup will boot the kernel and initrd, and a script in the initrd will repartition the rootfs and resize it to fill your SD (4G-32G tested). Feb 08 20:45:52 Easier than having one image for each size SD on the market. Feb 08 20:46:20 GrueMaster, do you know of any images for a beaglebone? Feb 08 20:47:00 dioxin_: I don't have a beaglebone, but I have been told that the omap images should work. Feb 08 20:47:44 I think that system is designed for headless, so I would recommend either the preinstalled-server or netboot (exercise your mirror a little). Feb 08 20:48:13 I havent managed to get any display out of the serial port tho :( Feb 08 20:48:50 Not even with their stock angstrom image? Feb 08 20:49:11 yes with the stock, but not with the ubuntu 11.10 server omap3 Feb 08 20:52:11 dioxin_: Try one of the images at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-preinstalled for omap (not omap4). Feb 08 20:52:35 Odd that you don't see anything, not even u-boot. Feb 08 20:52:50 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Demo_Image trying this atm, but I'll let you know about the link you gave Feb 08 20:52:58 Unfortunately, I don't have one (and no budget for one atm). Feb 08 20:53:33 I'll keep you posted :D Feb 08 20:55:01 Note that I won't be able to help at all on images we don't produce on cdimage.ubuntu.com. Feb 08 20:55:34 But when I enter the Manual recovery I can see that the '/' directory is mounted on the SD card and a 'mount' cmd shows all the necessary diretories any idea? Feb 08 20:55:38 i know :) Feb 08 20:56:45 Looking over that link briefly, it looks like beaglebone support was added in linux 3.2 (which our precise images will have). Can't say about u-boot though. Feb 08 21:01:19 when we are on the manual recovery mode what can we do to make the system finish is resizing properly? Feb 08 21:19:20 jom, I would try reflashing and start over. Feb 08 21:19:50 The whole process shouldn't take more than 10 minutes on a 4G card. Feb 08 21:21:17 Hum I did it already 2 times and I always step down on the same issue. I will try to find another 4GB card. Feb 08 21:23:15 What method are you using to flash the image to SD. Keep in mind the image is gzipped to begin with. Feb 08 21:25:45 I have a script that essentially runs "gunzip < precise-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+omap4.img.gz |sudo dd of=/dev/sdf bs=4M". The 4M helps with the speed of writing to a flash device (and reduces the issues you seem to be seeing). Feb 08 21:26:02 I 1st unzip it and I transfert it to the SD device not mounted using 'dd' Feb 08 21:26:39 it's exactly what I do Feb 08 21:26:55 ok. Feb 08 21:27:45 I have been testing these images on a variety of SD cards from 4G to 16G, class 4, 6, and 10. That's why I ask. Feb 08 21:44:42 I try to do it once again else I will have to buy another card tomorrow. Do you use uSD HC card? And does it work the same? Feb 08 21:48:48 I have a few uSD cards, yes. I use them mainly for beagleXM and Freescale Quickstart testing, but the image is identical (except for kernels). Feb 08 21:52:14 GrueMaster: I finally managed to boot into ubuntu on the beagleBone, but I used the elinux link Feb 08 21:52:36 I think the problem lies in the tty output Feb 08 21:53:06 What does dmesg show for UARTS? Feb 08 21:53:38 I dont think it supports UARTS, I'm using a mini-usb cable for the console access Feb 08 21:53:53 The serial console "should" be /dev/ttyO2 on almost all omap hw. Feb 08 21:54:00 Oh, interesting. Feb 08 21:54:35 What is /proc/cmdline say for console? Feb 08 21:59:04 ttyO0 I think Feb 08 21:59:44 Ah, then you should be able to modify the boot.scr on the normal ubuntu image to point to that instead of ttyO2. Feb 08 22:00:40 You will need to strip the first 72 bytes from boot.scr, then edit the bootargs and rerun mkimage to regenerate boot.scr. You can't just edit the file. Feb 08 22:25:54 GrueMaster: do you have a guide for that process? Feb 08 22:27:26 Not exactly. Here are the steps (assuming the boot partition is mounted on /mnt): Feb 08 22:27:26 dd bs=72 skip=1 if=/mnt/boot.scr of=boot.script Feb 08 22:27:29 dioxin: dd should be able to strip it for you. Feb 08 22:27:31 edit boot.script Feb 08 22:28:00 sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d boot.script /mnt/boot.scr Feb 08 22:28:42 (I leave the "edit boot.script" part for you to figure out). Feb 08 22:31:40 about Ubuntu 11.10 it felt on the same issue! Feb 08 22:42:41 ok, my first attempts at editing the boot.script failed... so I'm going to cheat :D Feb 08 22:47:11 hmm... the elinux imaging process doesnt have a boot.script Feb 08 23:40:24 :o)) get it works! my SANDISK SD card is on a very bad shape the TDK one make it works! So that was just a hardware problem [SOLVED] Feb 08 23:40:47 Excellent! Feb 08 23:40:49 Bye & thanks to you GrueMaster for your help! Feb 08 23:58:42 ogra_: In your request for the tegra ALC patches for alsa-lib, you mentioned related patches. What do you mean by this exactly? There is the patch you linked to, but I don't see any others in that thread... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 09 00:04:03 2012 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 09 00:12:17 2012 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 09 00:58:30 2012 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 09 01:10:18 2012 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 09 02:59:57 2012
