**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 10 02:59:58 2012 Jul 10 12:26:52 ogra_: with today's daily omap3 netinst i was able to complete an installation, but the system won't boot since it didn't create the first vfat partition with uImage&c Jul 10 12:41:16 Does anyone know if there is a size limit on microSD on the Beagleboard XM? I know it comes with a 4gb but i have a few 16gb and a 64gb laying around. Jul 10 12:46:28 Just-in: 16gb should certainly work. and i'd suspect 64gb to also do, but i've never tried. Jul 10 12:47:02 Sweet i've never loaded a preinstall before so this should be fun once my board gets in. Jul 10 12:47:50 there are 64MB microSDs ? Jul 10 12:47:57 i thought 32M was the upper end Jul 10 12:48:06 ppisati, awesome Jul 10 12:48:36 ppisati, flash-kernel was fixed though, it theoretically should set up everything fine, i'll do a test install myself to check whats wrong Jul 10 12:48:46 yeah they make 64gb micros now Jul 10 12:57:06 ogra_: the problem is that when you choose "use the entire disk" the vfat partition is not created Jul 10 12:57:30 ah, yeah, you need to choose "guided" Jul 10 12:57:40 then it is created Jul 10 12:57:43 ah Jul 10 12:57:53 crap Jul 10 12:58:00 * ppisati restart another installation Jul 10 12:58:01 just doing a chicken install should get you a working system Jul 10 12:58:10 chicken? Jul 10 12:58:27 (chicken= set up a chicken in front of the kbd and make it pick the enter key all the time) Jul 10 12:58:45 ahhhh... Jul 10 12:58:57 (weird Germans...) Jul 10 12:59:00 (you could also try a girlfriend but these are less patient usually) Jul 10 12:59:10 :) Jul 10 12:59:19 so Jul 10 12:59:25 it fails the "chicken test" Jul 10 12:59:30 i'll retry with guided Jul 10 12:59:32 let's see Jul 10 12:59:42 guided *should* be the default Jul 10 12:59:46 isnt it ? Jul 10 13:00:27 ...I'm sure someone has made a "usb pecking chicken" device Jul 10 13:00:35 hahaha Jul 10 13:00:59 i may have to make a usb powered chicken now.... Jul 10 13:01:29 Just-in: share us pictures once done :) Jul 10 13:02:59 i think i still have a foam feathered chicken in the storage room. Jul 10 13:03:36 and girlfriends are less patient always Jul 10 13:05:45 xranby, hey ... do you happen to know if there were any specific java plans for 12.10 (and if so, where they were written down) ... i seem to miss doko constantly on IRC Jul 10 13:06:22 ogra_: the main plan is to focus on openjdk-7 and drop openjdk-6 Jul 10 13:06:39 right, but there is no written doc or anything ? Jul 10 13:06:48 (or a UDS spec) Jul 10 13:07:00 ogra_: there is, let me dig it up for you Jul 10 13:08:01 ogra: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-q-java7 Jul 10 13:08:01 ogra_: the default is "Guided - use entire disk" Jul 10 13:08:19 ogra_: and it doesn't create the vfat/dos boot partition with uImage&c Jul 10 13:09:25 * ogra_ hugs xranby Jul 10 13:10:34 ppisati, weird, it did on my omap4 desktop install Jul 10 13:10:52 might be because you are running off the SD without having partitions Jul 10 13:11:22 (which you typically do on netinst images, the desktop image comes with a separate already created vfat) Jul 10 13:13:25 yep Jul 10 13:13:38 shall i fill a bug about it? Jul 10 13:13:42 i mean Jul 10 13:13:48 do we support netinsta at all? Jul 10 13:13:55 * ppisati grabs a coffee Jul 10 13:14:10 * Just-in wishs he had coffee Jul 10 13:17:25 ppisati, well, we test netinst, we dont "release" or "not-release" it since it simply drops out of a normal debian-installer build Jul 10 13:25:37 ogra_: btw, can you hand me a link to the netinstallers? Jul 10 13:29:18 LetoThe2nd: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/quantal/ Jul 10 13:29:31 ppisati: thx Jul 10 13:31:06 *notice* the "installation guide" links are either nonfunctional or misdirecting to other, relatively unrealted pages. Jul 10 13:37:52 have ubuntu -server installed on pandabaord, installed xfce4 and want to forward desktop over vnc Jul 10 14:22:06 hello, is this the correct forum for running Ubuntu on the Beaglebone? Jul 10 14:22:50 sorry, its been a long night, is this the correct forum for asking questions about running Ubuntu on the Beaglebone? Jul 10 14:23:20 for userspace yes ... we dont really have beaglebone support or images Jul 10 14:24:18 hmm, I have questions about building a custom kernel and installing it, if this isn't the correct forum would you point me in the right direction Jul 10 14:24:25 I would really appreciate it Jul 10 14:24:27 try #beagle then Jul 10 14:24:33 thank you very much Jul 10 14:24:41 they cover the non distro specific stuff **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jul 11 02:59:58 2012
