**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 21 02:59:59 2012 May 21 06:13:12 Would anyone know how to build a image to flash to an android device?? I want to lean aboutthe boot proccess of the droidx and how i could make a native ubuntu install for it. May 21 06:14:07 DrivenMad: depends on the device May 21 06:16:19 DrivenMad: please address the channel unless it's actually a *personal* message (like "you smell like rotten fish") May 21 06:16:44 ohh sorry May 21 06:16:49 No problem. May 21 06:16:58 I know from doing diffrent rooting from the original droid, droidx , and an hp tablet. they are diffrent.. something about parts of it still being locked somehow?? May 21 06:17:18 I'm not familiar with droidx, but you probably want to look for references for droix and "omap3" May 21 06:17:23 *droidx May 21 06:18:02 Note that rooting is not the same as reflashing; "rooting" typically implies you keep the vendor's kernel and ramdisk, and only change/supplement the userland. May 21 06:18:05 ok cool :) i ahve been reading about omap3 and the diffrent versions of arm (arm7) cpus.. May 21 06:18:34 correct, i do understand that :) May 21 06:19:07 If you wait patiently, one of the smarter denizens will probably tell you exactly what to do May 21 06:19:32 im lost on how i would even start to flashing something else. maybe a custom sbf file or something.. i have an extra original droid just screaming for something crazy on it :) May 21 06:19:45 awesome thank you for t your thoughts:) May 21 06:21:05 I have been watching some of the ubuntu for android videos.. super awesome!! looks like it will be based for the newer dual cpu devices.. May 21 06:21:54 DrivenMad: you can't have "ubuntu for andriod" is for vendors, not consumers. You can't have it unless you buy a phone that already has it. May 21 06:22:53 i would like to take the droid and make it even jsut a terminal to remote to.. to use the resources on the phone... heck there is anough to run a CS server on one of them.. i just have to get around any latency from wifi, unless i can get somekind of usb to ethernet adapter working on it :) May 21 06:23:11 True.. May 21 06:24:31 DrivenMad: you can build a rootfs to run inside a chroot, it's the widest used method, you can find plenty of guides on google May 21 06:24:43 I figure if it accually comes out, someone will figure out a port of some sort.. i hope :) or I will learn enough to try :) May 21 06:26:01 DrivenMad, you can use my rootstock branch https://code.launchpad.net/~angeloc/project-rootstock/project-rootstock to start with ubuntu-core May 21 06:26:21 DriveMad, intead of building the rootfs from scratch May 21 06:26:34 I have run ubuntu on the original droid in a chroot enviroment, i even got backtrack running on the droid and my hp touchpad. The trick i want to figure out is to add better support for the wifi and bluetooth in the base. May 21 06:26:53 awesome!!! thank you very much!! May 21 06:27:37 Wow fantastic!!! May 21 06:29:10 DrivenMad, i think there is nothing you can do for wireless and bluetooth support into a chroot, a chroot is a restricted world! May 21 06:32:40 angeloc: chroot is not very restrictive. in x86-land there are ways around it, dunno if it'd work or be worth the hassle in an android environment May 21 06:33:02 hehe true thats what i found out :) you are basically restrained by the original kernel.. although i have played with some wifi drivers and rebooted.. sometimes it broke it, sometimes it worked.. i acually had the wifi doing monitor mode 2 times, ran kismet very well. then after anotehr reboot broken again.. :( May 21 06:33:38 brb food :) May 21 06:34:01 DrivenMad, twb, loading a wireless driver into a chroot seems wired to me ... May 21 06:35:02 angeloc: meh, if you ask to modprobe something, the kernel will execute the modprobe outside the chroot &c &C May 21 06:35:14 an indirect modprobe I mean May 21 06:35:31 twb, never tried, but intresting! May 21 06:36:01 twb, of course modprobe should not be in a cherrot env May 21 06:38:16 Well, chroot is not a security measure May 21 06:38:28 If you want that you should probably be looking at LXC May 21 06:49:37 waht is lxc? May 21 06:50:13 ahh tools :) May 21 06:51:10 LXC is like chroot, but more. May 21 06:51:23 hehe i see .. chroot on steroids :) May 21 06:51:35 As well as changing the root of the VFS, it can also virtualize the process tree, the network stack, etc. May 22 01:20:29 i have found that the work around proposed for bug #971091 works for bug #994368 May 22 01:20:30 Launchpad bug 971091 in linux-ti-omap4 "Pandaboard ES freezes with the default CPU scaling governor ondemand" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/971091 May 22 01:20:31 Launchpad bug 994368 in linux-ti-omap4 "linux-ti-omap4 kernel panics on pandaboard ES" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/994368 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 22 02:59:58 2012
