**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 11 02:59:58 2012 Sep 11 09:12:14 i am trying to get my beagleboard booting after a year of coma. anyone know if the latest ubuntu arm (12.04) runs on the beagle at the moment? its a b5 rev .. Sep 11 09:17:56 torpor, it should, there might be some issues (sound not working out of the box for example) but generally it should just work Sep 11 09:18:34 though i would recommend using the server image and picking a lighter desktop at install time ... Sep 11 09:25:45 interesting idea ogra_ thanks for the hint. wouldn't have thought to use the server image. Sep 11 09:47:41 Hi ogra_! On your suggestion, I used Ubuntu 12.04 server image on BeagleBoard XM and from command line installed lubuntu-desktop package. But it didn't give gui after boot, it used to always revert back to tty1 with tty7 blank. What else is required to be installed other than lubuntu-desktop package? Sep 11 09:59:53 Error: Bad compare! failed Sep 11 09:59:56 ah crap Sep 11 10:47:18 linux-libc-headers-dev_3.6.0-r0_aarch64.ipk done Sep 11 10:47:27 easy parts were done, time for hard ones Sep 11 10:47:34 orated, how about an X server ? :) Sep 11 10:50:48 ogra_: Yes, I checked for it. I inputted startx command and it was missing so installed xserver, xinit and other related packages.Even then there were errors. I don't remember the exact errors but it was always reverting to tty1 Sep 11 10:51:53 orated, you also want the fbdev xserver Sep 11 10:52:44 fddev xserver Sep 11 10:52:48 fbdev* Sep 11 10:53:03 No, I didn't know that and it wasn't tried Sep 11 10:53:33 what exactly did you install ? Sep 11 10:53:41 (should have been apt-get install xorg) Sep 11 10:53:54 One moment, I'll pull that exact command Sep 11 10:53:55 xorg is the metapackage that pulls in everything needed Sep 11 10:57:13 ogra_: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop xserver-xorg-video-omap3 Sep 11 10:57:22 And, then xinit package was attempted Sep 11 11:19:19 ogra_: ? Sep 11 11:19:30 ? Sep 11 11:20:46 Um, well. I installed those packages and still it wasn't giving display :) So, is that all the packages required or am I missing anything? Sep 11 11:21:07 you did what i sadi above (apt-get install xorg) ? Sep 11 11:21:48 Uh, what's the difference between xserver-xorg-video-omap3 and xorg then? Sep 11 11:22:30 Ok, wait. So from ubuntu-server install, installing lubuntu-desktop, xorg should be enough to get to the gui? Sep 11 11:23:37 try it Sep 11 11:23:56 Thanks Sep 11 11:24:29 I'll that out. I went back to desktop install, will have to shut it down and insert ubuntu-server image Sep 11 11:24:33 try that* Sep 11 13:14:36 oh boy, http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg193914.html Sep 11 16:24:09 Hello! How can I compile a package, say ffmpeg/OpenCV on x86 for ARM? cross-compilation ... Sep 11 17:01:55 rsalveti, what happened to the kernel patch for panda ? are we waiting for anything ? Sep 11 17:02:45 plars: were you able to test it as well? Sep 11 17:03:06 ogra_: there's this dpms green screen from time to time, but other than that it seems to be working Sep 11 17:03:11 it's better, but still with a few bugs Sep 11 17:03:18 rsalveti: breifly, it worked fine on my panda, but I was wanting to ask you... Sep 11 17:03:24 sure, i dont expect it to be the last upload Sep 11 17:03:33 so unless robclark decides to fix it this week, we can move it forward and push to the archive Sep 11 17:03:36 so better get it in asap so we get wider testing Sep 11 17:03:39 rsalveti: you said you had issues after the screen blanked? I let it blank a few times with no ill effect Sep 11 17:03:58 it's certainly an improvement over what we had before Sep 11 17:04:00 plars: yeah, can't reproduce it all the time here as well Sep 11 17:04:08 * ogra_ hasnt see the weird behavior anymore either Sep 11 17:04:18 cool, will move this up today and send the proposal to ppisati Sep 11 17:04:27 great Sep 11 18:59:04 Just set up precise-omap4 image on Pandaboard-ES. I installed glmark2-es2, and it says it's using software rasterizer, and the FPS figures are also very low. Is this a bug? Sep 11 19:07:13 es2_info says: libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate Sep 11 20:14:25 zma: Install the powervr drivers. Sounds like you are still using the default framebuffer driver. Sep 11 20:59:38 GrueMaster: After installing pvr-omap4, es2_info shows: PVR:(Error): PVRSRVBridgeCall: Failed to access device. Something in pvr_bridge_u.c:250 Sep 11 21:00:07 zma: precise or quantal? Sep 11 21:00:25 rsalveti: precise Sep 11 21:01:03 I think for precise one kernel config changed, which broke the module support Sep 11 21:01:15 let me find the bug covering this issue Sep 11 21:02:58 actually the bug I have is related with quantal, an old one Sep 11 21:03:18 zma: what is the dkms build output once you installed the pvr-omap4 package? Sep 11 21:03:38 check with lsmod if you have the omapdrm_pvr module available Sep 11 21:05:23 rsalveti: no omapdrm_pvr listed. I had a restart after installing pvr-omap4 package, don't have install log available anymore. Sep 11 21:06:20 zma: you can find the dkms log at /var/lib/dkms, look for a file named make.log Sep 11 21:08:33 rsalveti: I search recursively /var/lib/dkms, no any *log files there Sep 11 21:10:50 rsalveti: I take it as installing pvr-omap4 package should have created kernel module, which it didn't for some reason. Is this correct? Sep 11 21:10:51 zma: hm, mind reinstalling/reconfiguring the pvr-omap4 package to see if it'll try to build the module again? Sep 11 21:10:57 yup Sep 11 21:15:49 rsalveti: http://pastebin.com/K7v07FMY Sep 11 21:16:37 zma: You don't have headers installed for your kernel, it would seem. Sep 11 21:17:29 zma: apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-omap4 && dpkg-reconfigure pvr-omap4 Sep 11 21:17:34 infinity: good point, I didn't even think about it. That's probably necessary when building kernel modules. Sep 11 21:18:20 zma: Of course, you have headers for a newer kernel installed (-1418), perhaps upgrading your kernel wouldn't be an awful idea. :P Sep 11 21:18:59 yup, missing headers Sep 11 21:19:14 infinity: The first thing I did was apt-get update apt-get upgrade. Only after that I started to experiment if and how opengl is supproted. Sep 11 21:19:27 zma: s/upgrade/dist-upgrade/ ? Sep 11 21:19:38 zma: upgrade won't pull in new packages (which new kernels are) Sep 11 21:19:53 zma: Note the "10 not upgraded" that apt is whining about. Sep 11 21:20:01 It won't? When did that change? Sep 11 21:20:05 GrueMaster: It never has. Sep 11 21:20:20 GrueMaster: upgrade won't change the set of installed packages, ever. Only dist-upgrade will. Sep 11 21:20:48 GrueMaster: On desktops, we work around this by allowing update-manager to be sort of a "half-dist-upgrade" that can add new packages, but never remove. Sep 11 21:21:57 Odd. When I was doing the QA testing, I would use upgrade to get the latest packages without removing due to pool skew. Sep 11 21:22:23 I assure you that it never installed anything that wasn't already installed. Sep 11 21:22:32 Just upgraded. Sep 11 21:22:33 bug 1033091 Sep 11 21:22:33 Launchpad bug 1033091 in pvr-omap4 "pvr-omap4 1.7.10.0.1.21-0ubuntu1: pvr-omap4 kernel module failed to build" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1033091 Sep 11 21:22:48 related with kernel config change Sep 11 21:23:12 /var/lib/dkms/pvr-omap4/1.7.10.0.1.21/build/eurasiacon/binary2_omap4430_linux_release/target/kbuild/services4/srvkm/env/linux/osfunc.c:85:2: エラー: #error "A preemptible Linux kernel is required when using workqueues" Sep 11 21:23:14 fun Sep 11 21:23:50 rsalveti: That log is trying to build for an omap kernel, not omap4. Sep 11 21:24:01 DKMS make.log for pvr-omap4-1.7.10.0.1.21 for kernel 3.2.0-24-omap (armv7l) Sep 11 21:24:22 infinity: true, then it's not a bug Sep 11 21:24:26 even better Sep 11 21:24:42 Though, why the -omap headers are installed is another bug. Sep 11 21:24:51 zma also appears to have them installed. Sep 11 21:24:58 dkms is probably pulling them in. Sep 11 21:25:02 the annoying kernel header mess Sep 11 21:25:05 yeah Sep 11 21:25:13 dkms shouldn't be depending on kernel headers at all, IMO. Sep 11 21:25:18 +1 Sep 11 21:25:18 It's never going to be correct. Sep 11 21:25:38 server/generic/virtual on x86 had the same issue for years. Sep 11 21:25:45 and now we also got many other different kernels available Sep 11 21:25:46 The solution being to just get rid of server and virtual. :P Sep 11 21:26:00 But that's not helpful for arm, yet. Sep 11 21:26:46 But, this case seems to be the same case as zma's, in both senses. One, the -omap headers are installed (which can cause weirdness), but two, the user has upgraded -omap4 headers, but an old -omap4 kernel. Sep 11 21:26:56 Not much we can do about that situation except to educate. Sep 11 21:27:26 Well, Andy and I have some plans to make kernels suggest their correctly-versioned headers, so that autoremove won't remove headers for kernels you still have installed. Sep 11 21:27:35 But can't land that until I land the kernel autoremoval magic. Sep 11 21:27:50 Or people will end up with 23 sets of headers installed to match their 23 non-purged kernels. Sep 11 21:27:56 Which would be pretty unpleasant. Sep 11 21:27:59 hahaha, yeah Sep 11 21:31:54 Still no pvr module reported by lsmod. Should I manually insmod it? I updated: http://pastebin.com/K7v07FMY Sep 11 21:33:33 Sure looks like it built omapdrm_pvr this time. Sep 11 21:34:38 lsmod won't show it, since it's not inserted, but modinfo should list it now. Sep 11 21:34:59 And yeah, you could either manually restart X or reboot. Sep 11 21:36:33 Just wondering, should those kernel headers be dependency to pvr-omap4 package? Sep 11 21:36:51 You already have the right headers metapackage installed. Sep 11 21:37:10 The problem is that your headers have been upgraded (to -1418-), but you're still on the old (-1412-) kernel. Sep 11 21:37:39 So, not much pv-omap4 can do in that situation. Sep 11 21:39:52 thanks guys, now it works, glmark2-es2 runs fine! Sep 11 21:40:21 cool **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 12 02:59:58 2012
