**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jul 02 02:59:58 2012 Jul 02 11:04:05 I am trying to install a driver on ubuntu-desktop 12.04 on beagleboard-xm. When I type "make", I get the following error http://pastebin.com/wRqt7X3R that links to wrong directory. It links to ...arch/armv7l/Makefile directory instead of arch/arm/Makefile .. This is the Makefile of the driver installation file (not .../arch/arm/Makefile directory) http://pastebin.com/s9TJ9uk2 . What line do I need to change in the makefile in order to fix t Jul 02 11:04:05 he link problem? Jul 02 11:04:42 or if I change the directory name ../arm/Makefile to /armv7l/Makefile by manual, would it cause further problems? Jul 02 14:00:25 hi guys. Can anybody tell me why "runhaskell" is not in precise's ghc package on arm? and where i can find it? Jul 02 15:11:09 angs: ARCH=armv7l is wrong, the kernel only knows about arm Jul 02 15:20:17 steev: thank you, I solved it as you told by changing the make file Jul 02 15:20:57 angs: why not use the driver that's in the kernel (or compat-wireless)? Jul 02 15:26:14 ogra_, has the daily image spinning stopped? I see latest is jun 29 Jul 02 15:26:31 update-xapian-index errored out Jul 02 15:26:40 so all images failed for a while Jul 02 15:31:05 I am trying to use the usb doggle in the ad-hoc mode, I was able to connect to my access point without installing any extra package. However, I could not use it on the ad-hoc mode. I thought I should install the driver that came with the wifi dongle. But, I still cannot use it in the ad hoc mode. I am using these commands: http://pastebin.com/kTMkgCDx I wonder if someone can tell me what is wrong with the settings or what can I do to use the wif Jul 02 15:31:05 i dongle in ad-hoc mode. the doggle is micronext mn-wd 152B that has RTL8188CUS chipset. Jul 02 15:33:46 not really an arm specific problem ... did you search the wiki for setting up ad-hoc ? Jul 02 15:34:13 I used this instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc Jul 02 15:36:05 it is not arm-related, I also tried it on my laptop (ubuntu 12.04), it did not work. maybe there is someone that has experience in setting the dongle in ad-hoc mode could advise me what to do Jul 02 15:36:31 * ogra_ never used ad-hoc, sorry, cant help Jul 02 15:37:07 thank you, I will try my chance on #beagle Jul 02 15:44:27 same, i've been using wireless cards since way back when, never bothered with ad-hoc Jul 02 15:52:16 * GrueMaster debates turning his beagle into a digital doorbell. Jul 02 15:59:43 is python-matplotlib just not built for armhf? Jul 02 16:03:21 what source package would that be in ? Jul 02 16:28:11 ogra_: matplotlib Jul 02 16:28:42 i'm currently rebuilding ghc because it's missing some binaries on armhf, also Jul 02 16:28:47 so can't really rebuild that too :) Jul 02 16:32:03 Chipaca, did you find why ghc does not include runhaskell, oversight or intentional? Jul 02 16:32:19 janimo: no Jul 02 16:32:26 janimo: i'm just blindly rebuilding Jul 02 16:32:38 janimo: because i couldn't really look into the packaging until tonight Jul 02 16:32:49 so if it's done by tonight, i'll know more than if i didn't rebuild :) Jul 02 16:33:13 Chipaca, unless it is an oversight the maintainers may have had a reason for it, ghc was not as well tested on ARM as elsewhere Jul 02 16:34:00 janimo: i'm hoping it's an oversight, becaue it's not much use without that :) Jul 02 16:34:22 Chipaca, precise or quantal? Jul 02 16:36:30 janimo: precise Jul 02 16:55:14 Chipaca, you may want to tweak mk/config.mk.in in the ghc package. It has ArchSupportsGHCi= which says which arch ghci and other commands are built on Jul 02 16:55:23 runhaskell goes in only if there's an interpreter built Jul 02 16:55:35 so you need to buld with armhf added there ans see if there's a bug Jul 02 16:55:46 or just a historical ommission :) Jul 02 16:58:10 janimo: awsome, thank you Jul 02 16:59:03 Chipaca, hopefully it should just work and then a patch can be applied upstream :) Jul 02 17:00:17 Chipaca, I just googled it an apparently ghci on arm is being worked on, so not yet Jul 02 17:06:49 gah Jul 02 17:12:08 janimo: so now i need to figure out how to build things which have runhaskell as the how-to-build Jul 02 17:12:25 and i know just enough haskell to know that's not going to be fun Jul 02 17:12:51 * Chipaca suddenly realized he knows haskellites at the university who own the same computer he has Jul 02 17:12:56 * Chipaca runs to find them Jul 02 17:22:13 huh Jul 02 17:22:15 ghc --make Jul 02 17:24:54 ogra_: any news re matplotlib? Jul 02 17:34:23 where is the apckages.ubuntu.com for ports? Jul 02 17:34:53 scientes, apt-get install apt-file Jul 02 17:35:04 mythos, that is entirely differn't Jul 02 17:35:15 different from what? Jul 02 17:35:21 packages.ubuntu.com Jul 02 17:35:49 ports.ubuntu.com is not indexed on packages.ubuntu.com. but you can use apt-file instead Jul 02 17:35:58 oh shitty Jul 02 17:36:10 even emdebian has a packages.debian.org alt Jul 02 17:36:23 apt-file is a really neat tool. don't be shy, you are going to love it Jul 02 17:36:44 i refuse to use it, cause i don't like extra databases Jul 02 17:36:50 i use dpkg -S instead Jul 02 17:36:55 and packages.debian.org/file:foo Jul 02 17:37:11 also, rapt-file doesn't work Jul 02 17:37:29 apt-file downloads only the contents.gz from your repo. Jul 02 17:38:05 did you an apt-file update first? Jul 02 17:38:16 then apt-file search Jul 02 17:38:21 the whole point of rapt-file is that it doesn't need a database Jul 02 17:38:37 rapt-file? Jul 02 17:38:46 its part of the apt-file package *remote* Jul 02 17:38:53 yeah, ok Jul 02 17:39:04 most of my uses of p.d.org etc are about getting up-to-date info Jul 02 17:39:12 which is another reason apt-file just doesn't cut it Jul 02 17:39:23 an apt-file update is so hard? Jul 02 17:39:51 no, cause its backwards for what i'm doing Jul 02 17:40:17 and it only works on the same arch and dist as your computer Jul 02 17:40:22 ok... then you could set up an equivalent for packages.ubuntu.com for ports? Jul 02 17:40:26 p.foo.bar works everwhere Jul 02 17:40:34 no, that's nonsense Jul 02 17:40:49 you can specifiy an sources.list and an cache folder Jul 02 17:40:49 like, you can download a debian package from it, and use it on ubuntu , etc Jul 02 17:41:08 oh for apt-file Jul 02 17:41:44 don't know what you mean with "p.foo.bar works everywhere" Jul 02 17:50:03 packages.debian|ubuntu.org|com Jul 02 17:50:17 and what's with that? Jul 02 21:53:17 can ppas be made to build armhf? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 03 02:59:57 2012
