**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 11 03:00:00 2012 Dec 11 06:39:03 diwic: YO! the man i wanted to see! Dec 11 06:39:10 raster, hi Dec 11 06:39:15 :) Dec 11 06:39:21 sound guru... Dec 11 06:39:31 nexus 7 Dec 11 06:39:46 point me at some info/docs/something... i can use.. to get my audio to work! :) Dec 11 06:40:12 raster, bug 1068804 ? Dec 11 06:40:14 Launchpad bug 1068804 in ubuntu-nexus7 "sound only works after suspend/resume cycle" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1068804 Dec 11 06:40:23 i know Dec 11 06:40:25 nup - donest help Dec 11 06:40:46 (suspend/resume dont fix anything - not even several cycles) Dec 11 06:40:48 raster, hmm, interesting Dec 11 06:40:58 my initial problem was /dev/sdn/* permissioning Dec 11 06:41:02 ie my uid didnt have access Dec 11 06:41:06 so pulse couldnt talk Dec 11 06:41:12 and all i got was "dummy output" in pulse Dec 11 06:41:16 raster, are you doing something custom, i e not ubuntu image? Dec 11 06:41:17 i figured that out Dec 11 06:41:23 and then pulse detects the tegra hw device Dec 11 06:41:27 ubuntu image... Dec 11 06:41:36 BUT... i nixed the desktop Dec 11 06:41:47 all system daemons working Dec 11 06:41:51 pulse still there Dec 11 06:42:01 desktop does handle pulse audio Dec 11 06:42:31 raster, what does "nixed the desktop" mean? Dec 11 06:42:41 i have installed pavucontrol Dec 11 06:42:47 and that lets me diagnose soem stuff anf fiddle Dec 11 06:42:58 nixed - dont run unity (compiz+gnome bits etc.) Dec 11 06:43:05 nicex lightdm Dec 11 06:43:12 nixed lightdm Dec 11 06:43:19 (uninstaleld it - use nodm instead) Dec 11 06:43:41 my mem footrpint is down to like 160m ram Dec 11 06:43:44 as a result Dec 11 06:43:56 (total excluding buffers/cache) Dec 11 06:44:15 less actually Dec 11 06:44:28 raster, do you still use consolekit to give you permissions to everything you should? Dec 11 06:44:29 131m "userspace" from smem -t Dec 11 06:44:49 raster, question is pavucontrol the desktop environment or are you going cli only? Dec 11 06:45:00 no Dec 11 06:45:12 but what do i need permission to other than pulseaudio server? Dec 11 06:45:17 i can get audio going through it Dec 11 06:45:22 it just ends up "nowehre" Dec 11 06:45:35 also i just chowned /dev/snd/* to myselfg anyway Dec 11 06:45:39 that was the perms problem Dec 11 06:45:55 Ethernin: pavucontrol is in the gui (desktop) Dec 11 06:46:00 but tbh - dont care Dec 11 06:46:05 cmdline will be fine Dec 11 06:46:08 raster, are u using gnome-classic (fallback?) Dec 11 06:46:11 no Dec 11 06:46:14 e17 Dec 11 06:46:15 :) Dec 11 06:46:21 compositing is all happy Dec 11 06:46:23 word Dec 11 06:46:26 suspend/resume all happy Dec 11 06:46:31 hahaha nice Dec 11 06:46:32 raster, I guess /dev/snd/* should be enough (together with some /sysfs stuff). Dec 11 06:46:39 i'm a bit miffed at the nvidia drviers not doing vsync swaps Dec 11 06:46:47 even tho swapinterval is requested to be 12 Dec 11 06:46:49 err 1 Dec 11 06:47:03 diwic: well i thought /dev/snd would be enough Dec 11 06:47:34 if there is something needing a write.. who would be doing it? pulse? Dec 11 06:47:38 /sys is there - but of course readable only- not write Dec 11 06:48:00 i can hunt it down if my hunting fields are.. sensible :) Dec 11 06:48:13 i hear u are the guru fo sound so you probably would know what it might be :) Dec 11 06:48:23 i';ve never had this problem before on any ubuntu x86 install Dec 11 06:48:34 raster, but the entire suspend/resume thing is a mystery to me. It might be that something is triggered when unity unsuspends but not when your system unsuspends. Dec 11 06:48:35 i've nuked unity/gnome/etc over the years and never hit a sound snag Dec 11 06:48:39 pulseaudio has always worked Dec 11 06:48:47 so what is different about the n7 compared to other ubuntus? Dec 11 06:49:04 raster, the sound chip is different. Dec 11 06:49:39 e17 has pulseaudio mixer support - we even "reverse engineered" pa protocol in order to provide a working pa mixer without needing libpulse Dec 11 06:49:42 hahaha Dec 11 06:49:43 sure :) Dec 11 06:49:46 its different Dec 11 06:49:55 but what about access/permissioning is different? Dec 11 06:50:01 raster, desktop machines use 100s of variants of Intel HDA, whereas the n7 uses tegra 3 + realtek alc5640 Dec 11 06:50:07 ie - it goes via alsa.. so /dev/snd/* should be enough Dec 11 06:50:10 what ELSe is there? :) Dec 11 06:50:16 sure Dec 11 06:51:09 raster, if it looks like sound is muted even though you have unmuted it (in PulseAudio, with my nexus7 profile), it's the same symptom as the suspend/resume bug. Dec 11 06:51:46 i'm happy to learn - this is not my specialty... so if there is some info/docs i can scour... i'd be more than happy to figure it out :) right now picking your brain is the next best step :) Dec 11 06:51:59 soudns LOOKS unmute3d Dec 11 06:52:04 according to e17's mixer and pavucontrol Dec 11 06:52:08 raster, you have the ubuntu-defaults-nexus7 (or was it ubuntu-nexus7-defaults) installed, don't you? Dec 11 06:52:20 alsamixer (when run as root) gives me like 27842 controls Dec 11 06:52:29 i have been fiddling with everyone i can find Dec 11 06:52:37 i did notice one of them was muted by default after a boot Dec 11 06:52:45 that may be a cause of your suspend/resume issue Dec 11 06:53:02 yup Dec 11 06:53:04 installed Dec 11 06:53:36 i havent messed with any of those Dec 11 06:53:53 nb - awesome job getting ubu up on the n7 so far Dec 11 06:53:58 it made my life SO easy Dec 11 06:54:04 compared to what it normally is with arm targets Dec 11 06:54:15 its CLOSE to perfect Dec 11 06:54:23 raster, if you've messed around with the alsamixer controls maybe you happened to turn one off that should have been on, or the other way around? Dec 11 06:54:24 multitouch for me works outof the box Dec 11 06:54:36 literlaly i can pinch/zoom/rotate in my toolking/apps out of the box Dec 11 06:54:38 just works (tm) Dec 11 06:54:49 well iv'e rebooted since i messed Dec 11 06:54:51 several times Dec 11 06:54:55 they reset to defaults on reboot Dec 11 06:55:20 raster, hmm, are they? I thought they were saved in .. /var/lib/asound.state Dec 11 06:55:27 or something like that Dec 11 06:55:46 nup Dec 11 06:55:56 last i knew it saved in ~/.asounrc or something Dec 11 06:56:03 ~/as... Dec 11 06:56:12 do you have a custom .asoundrc too? Dec 11 06:56:26 no Dec 11 06:56:33 hmm Dec 11 06:56:38 /var/lib/alsa/asound/state is there Dec 11 06:56:52 ok Dec 11 06:56:54 thats a new file Dec 11 06:57:15 oh please dont telll me its that Dec 11 06:57:27 i swear i rebooted and mixer vals were reset from the mess i made Dec 11 06:57:54 i cant chekc right now.. as i'm sshing like 1500km to get to my n7 Dec 11 06:58:03 bbiab Dec 11 06:58:03 its speakers are not loud enough to hear that far Dec 11 06:58:04 :) Dec 11 06:58:47 i can check tonight tho Dec 11 07:13:51 raster, I mean, the suspend/resume thing is a mystery to me, and chances are that when you switch desktops the bug might manifest itself differently, in which case I don't know what to do to help you Dec 11 07:16:29 hmm Dec 11 07:16:33 :( Dec 11 07:16:47 any info i can read up on what's invovled in sound output on the tegra? Dec 11 07:16:51 (and alsa/kernel etc.) Dec 11 07:17:00 any specific /sys nodes involved? Dec 11 07:17:13 any info on what all the alsa mixer control knobs really do? Dec 11 07:17:27 in fact.. what did you have to do to get it to work? Dec 11 07:31:53 good morning Dec 11 07:32:02 moo Dec 11 07:32:21 just installed raring on the Nexus7 and things are looking quite good :) Dec 11 07:32:38 gl isnt totallly busted anymore? Dec 11 07:32:56 it was end of last week when i tried the 13.04 image Dec 11 07:33:11 raster, do you have a bug number about this? what was the problem you were looking at? Dec 11 07:33:12 all garbaged up tiles in unity for compositor pixmaps Dec 11 07:33:18 no i dont Dec 11 07:33:26 no, that's fixed Dec 11 07:33:34 a new unity+friends landed Dec 11 07:33:40 oh ok Dec 11 07:33:43 we were waiting for a fix in the nux library for a long while Dec 11 07:34:04 i saw that and then went to the 12.10 image Dec 11 07:34:07 which works fine Dec 11 07:34:09 but it couldn't land due to some other issues - in any case it's in there now Dec 11 07:34:18 does this have an update to the gles driver stuff from nv? Dec 11 07:34:34 as the lack of vsynced swaps is most annoying Dec 11 07:34:38 i'm wodnering if thats been fixed Dec 11 07:34:42 good question - I don't know Dec 11 07:35:07 and i have a sneaking suspicion that that its doing back -> front buffer copies, not swaps/exchanges Dec 11 07:35:51 well if u move a window.. do u get tearing? Dec 11 07:36:08 tho last i read compiz code.. it tyried to do glcopypixels from back to front bvuffer Dec 11 07:36:12 which wouldnt help with that Dec 11 07:36:24 but if u do eglswapbuffers it tears Dec 11 07:36:43 aat the compositor level - so i know its not vsyncing even tho its been asked to do a swapinterval of 1 Dec 11 07:45:22 i'm just wondering if its better to perhaps file bugs with nvidia over these things instead Dec 11 07:45:34 as i know canonical just consume the drivers "as provided" Dec 11 07:46:34 tho i need to get all my niggly issues fixed up before i go filing bugs... Dec 11 07:46:42 i dont like to file a bug until i'm sure of it :) Dec 11 12:01:13 all right, my ARM friends - who of you is going to give a demo or talk at Ubuntu Developer Week? We still have a bunch of open slots: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Timetable Dec 11 12:01:25 if you want you can just take a 30m slot and talk about something more specific if you like Dec 11 12:02:00 but I think it'd be great to have some ARM/device/memory/power/IO content in there as well Dec 11 13:13:01 I hate when it happen Dec 11 13:13:24 need to erase whole rootfs because it is faster then finding out what is fscked up Dec 11 13:39:55 diwic: ping Dec 11 13:40:02 raster, hi Dec 11 13:40:08 diwic: my many thanks Dec 11 13:40:17 it was that asound file Dec 11 13:40:28 must have been from my messing when pulse still had dummy output only Dec 11 13:40:32 trying to get it to work Dec 11 13:40:37 (ie permissions problem) Dec 11 13:40:43 i fixed perms - but still had that around Dec 11 13:40:53 much thankinessess :) Dec 11 13:40:58 raster, glad it helped :-) Dec 11 13:41:00 * raster owes diwic a beer Dec 11 13:42:02 i now really wish i knew what all these mixer params did in alsa Dec 11 13:42:06 theres so many of them Dec 11 13:42:07 :) Dec 11 13:44:59 raster, but you're still having the suspend/resume problem like the rest of us, right? Dec 11 13:45:16 yup Dec 11 13:45:24 needs a suspend/resume cycle Dec 11 13:45:32 that.. i can live with.. for now Dec 11 13:45:33 :) Dec 11 13:45:45 i have a tonne of stuff i want to do/make work/improve/whatever Dec 11 13:45:46 :) Dec 11 15:53:45 anyone else got screen corruption issues on first boot and Dec 11 15:53:45 inability to enter text via onboard with todays image? Dec 11 15:53:58 yeah Dec 11 16:35:02 hello Dec 11 16:35:11 what is the password of root of preinstalled img for the nexus 7 ? Dec 11 16:35:18 i can login only with guest session Dec 11 16:35:26 use sudo Dec 11 16:35:36 i can't Dec 11 16:35:41 with guest session.. Dec 11 16:35:42 sudo passwd root should work(?) Dec 11 16:35:49 no.. Dec 11 16:36:07 ou, guest session, right, sorry Dec 11 16:36:24 how to log in ? Dec 11 16:36:33 i have only guest session Dec 11 16:36:49 :( Dec 11 16:38:08 very strange.. Dec 11 16:38:26 dunno, I can't even finish the "setup wizard" on 13.04, because the onboard does not show up and keyboard via OTG does not work (but I think that's keyboard's fault) Dec 11 16:39:14 oh i downloaded preinstalled img Dec 11 16:39:25 and now i am in the desktop Dec 11 16:39:38 from where? Dec 11 16:39:44 i have all Dec 11 16:39:49 nexus 7 Dec 11 16:40:00 oh the img ? Dec 11 16:40:03 you mean ? Dec 11 16:40:11 yeah Dec 11 16:40:11 cortexA9: First boot on the preinstalled image walks you through creating a user. Dec 11 16:40:34 mmm.. Dec 11 16:40:39 i dont have this Dec 11 16:40:41 (modulo the bug tassadar mentions) Dec 11 16:40:44 initramfs-tools package is the the same for nexus 7 as is for the rest of ubuntu, right? Dec 11 16:40:50 tassadar_: Yes. Dec 11 16:41:05 tassadar_: Why do you ask? (I'm upstream for it) Dec 11 16:41:17 i think the img Dec 11 16:42:04 i dont know.. Dec 11 16:42:07 was a mirror Dec 11 16:42:11 I'd like to add support for booting from some folder in root (with mount -o bind), it is a short patch, gimme a while and I show you what do I mean Dec 11 16:42:14 daily i think.. Dec 11 16:43:00 i tried with multirom Dec 11 16:43:08 to add it.. Dec 11 16:43:15 isn't it 12.10? Dec 11 16:43:22 no 13.04 Dec 11 16:43:43 well, multirom should not work with 13.04 Dec 11 16:44:03 why not ? Dec 11 16:44:06 it seems work.. Dec 11 16:44:17 only i can't log in with root.. Dec 11 16:44:36 just this Dec 11 16:44:50 how did you even install it? Dec 11 16:45:07 i decompress it Dec 11 16:45:11 and changed raw to img Dec 11 16:45:23 and work.. Dec 11 16:45:33 are you sure that boot.img is correct? Dec 11 16:45:59 mmm i dont know Dec 11 16:46:04 maybe is the 12.10 boot ? Dec 11 16:46:07 yeah Dec 11 16:46:09 do uname -a Dec 11 16:46:16 and tell me what does it says Dec 11 16:47:22 Linux localhost.localdomain 3.1.10-7-nexus7 #11-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Tue.. armv7l ... Dec 11 16:48:10 hmm, sorry, I thought I'd remember which one is 13.04, I _think_ it should be -8- Dec 11 16:48:13 can you do... Dec 11 16:48:28 cat /boot/config* | grep HARDBOOT Dec 11 16:48:40 I hope it is accessible without root Dec 11 16:49:54 mmm Dec 11 16:50:02 nothing? Dec 11 16:50:04 no such file or directory Dec 11 16:50:27 i need to inject boot.img ? Dec 11 16:50:34 in multirom ? Dec 11 16:50:39 is config-somethingIdontRemember file in your /boot folder? Dec 11 16:51:00 no, this should be part of ubuntu Dec 11 16:51:22 permission denied Dec 11 16:51:25 damn Dec 11 16:52:17 yeah, got it, you are using 12.10 boot.img Dec 11 16:52:17 it should be "3.1.10-8-nexus7" Dec 11 16:52:45 mmm ok Dec 11 16:52:52 i inject the new boot thanks Dec 11 16:53:17 there is "Add/change boot.img" option in recovery in "list roms" menu Dec 11 16:53:26 in puts the boot.img in right place and injects it Dec 11 16:53:47 yes Dec 11 16:54:47 infinity: http://pastebin.com/siEiZPJz something like this Dec 11 16:58:22 tassadar_: i need to rename it ? Dec 11 16:58:28 ? Dec 11 16:58:29 in boot.img ? Dec 11 16:58:43 what rename? Dec 11 16:58:49 the file Dec 11 16:58:56 which one) Dec 11 16:58:56 raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.bootimg Dec 11 16:59:26 yeah, recovery searches for files which end with ".img" Dec 11 17:01:19 tassadar_: it failed.. Dec 11 17:01:43 file raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.boot.img Dec 11 17:01:50 i renamed it.. Dec 11 17:02:02 what does recovery log says, adb shell into it and cat /tmp/recovery.log Dec 11 17:02:18 tassadar_: Curious. Does this actually work? Dec 11 17:02:52 yed Dec 11 17:02:54 yes Dec 11 17:03:07 I'm using it to multiboot ubuntu on n7 Dec 11 17:03:28 along with kexec and "export FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=1", it is the only thing I need to change in ubuntu, which is kinda amazing Oo Dec 11 17:04:29 failed to decompress ramdisk Dec 11 17:05:03 oh, yeah, the ramdisk is compressed with .lzma instead of .gz Dec 11 17:05:07 see, that's why it is unsupported :D Dec 11 17:05:22 lol Dec 11 17:05:49 you could compress it as gzip on computer if you want Dec 11 17:06:22 oh mmm Dec 11 17:06:59 I am working on v3 which will support 13.04, it should be out this week Dec 11 17:07:55 tassadar_, you are the developer of multirom ? Dec 11 17:08:08 yes Dec 11 17:08:19 oh nice :) Dec 11 17:09:21 it is actually already all working, I just need to change the recovery and I'd like to try to get the changes into official ubuntu packages Dec 11 17:10:44 how to open it ? Dec 11 17:10:53 7zip can't open it. Dec 11 17:11:04 are you on ubuntu? Dec 11 17:11:14 no atm no. Dec 11 17:11:48 you know what, just wait, I'll edit it, it'll be faster Dec 11 17:12:46 ok Dec 11 17:12:51 :) Dec 11 17:14:26 tassadar_: work now Dec 11 17:14:36 i have the gz Dec 11 17:14:46 wait Dec 11 17:15:05 :D Dec 11 17:16:00 okay) Dec 11 17:16:10 just finished the editing too) Dec 11 17:17:12 infinity: what do you think, should I submit it as a patch? Dec 11 17:17:45 "should" as in "is it even worth the trouble?" Dec 11 17:19:02 tassadar_: Submitting it as a Debian bug report might be nice. I'll likely forget about it otherwise. Dec 11 17:19:20 tassadar_: Assuming this is a feature you can envision people other than you wanting. Dec 11 17:22:21 well, i suppose it would make multi-booting ubuntu on other android devices easier, but on desktop it is probably useless Dec 11 17:22:51 booting from .img is already there though, but I guess that is used mainly in that "Install ubuntu as windows app" thing Dec 11 17:23:09 <[mbm]> wubi Dec 11 17:25:38 that is just in the ubuntu's initramfs-tools, not in debian, I think I should submit it just to ubuntu Dec 11 17:26:45 tassadar_: it's possible that multirom slow my system ? Dec 11 17:27:01 which part exactly? Dec 11 17:27:15 usb very slow Dec 11 17:27:31 it really slow now.. Dec 11 17:27:56 like what, you are in ubuntu and copying something from usb or what? Dec 11 17:28:05 no in the rom Dec 11 17:28:17 copying something Dec 11 17:28:35 from pc to tablet Dec 11 17:29:02 hmm, look into battery usage, is "media" in there? Dec 11 17:29:29 yes Dec 11 17:29:52 android scans the /sdcard for media files after boot, and well, it scans also the whole of ubuntu (it is in /sdcard), which is a lot of files Dec 11 17:30:07 oh ok Dec 11 17:30:08 <[mbm]> .nomedia Dec 11 17:30:08 it _should_ finish 15-30mins after boot though Dec 11 17:30:16 it ignores it Dec 11 17:30:43 gallery does not show images from that folder, but the media scanner still goes in there Dec 11 17:31:07 i can't force stop. Dec 11 17:31:14 :D Dec 11 17:31:30 you could kill it if you want, but I dunno if that does not break something Dec 11 17:32:16 (in shell via "kill" command I mean) Dec 11 17:34:02 with advanced task killer doesnt work :D Dec 11 17:34:21 ok i try in shell Dec 11 17:36:16 i need to root it :D Dec 11 17:36:37 for kill Dec 11 17:37:08 you what.... Dec 11 17:37:08 you don't have it rooted yet? Oo Dec 11 17:38:06 no because i have problem with the battery today Dec 11 17:40:31 today my battery was at 0% Dec 11 17:40:55 i thought my nexus 7 dead.. Dec 11 17:41:16 now seems work Dec 11 17:41:25 wau, okay, that is reason serious enough) Dec 11 17:42:25 it's called Dec 11 17:42:27 mediaserver right ? Dec 11 17:42:31 the process ? Dec 11 17:42:48 tassadar_: You can submit to whomever you like, I maintain it in both Debian and Ubuntu. :P Dec 11 17:43:03 uh, it's the one which takes most cpu power, that is how I always find it Dec 11 17:43:16 infinity: okay, creating bug report on launchpad right now Dec 11 17:46:31 okay, english grammar question:) "Whose phone is that?" - the "whose" is for human beings, what is the same word for things? Dec 11 17:47:10 likely "those" Dec 11 17:47:20 I suppose it depends on the part of speech Dec 11 17:47:43 lol Dec 11 17:47:53 tassadar_: i kill it Dec 11 17:48:04 but it appear.. Dec 11 17:51:15 mmm Dec 11 17:51:40 seems not this the problem. Dec 11 17:52:09 are you on windows or linux? Dec 11 17:52:41 win Dec 11 17:53:23 it's not a problem of multirom ? Dec 11 17:54:45 to be honest, I don't know. I don't use windows, but I don't think the problem is in multirom. You could try asking in the XDA thread... Dec 11 17:55:11 Are you copying like a big file, or bunch of smaller ones? Dec 11 17:55:23 6 mb.. Dec 11 17:55:46 maybe is win Dec 11 17:55:49 try to reboot Dec 11 17:55:53 see you Dec 11 18:01:09 infinity: I also need to "export FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=1" when booting, where is the best place to do it? Would new script in scripts/init-top which would simply call "export FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=1" work? Dec 11 18:03:23 tassadar_: it's win now work Dec 11 18:03:38 but i can't inject boot.img Dec 11 18:03:46 i compress with gzip Dec 11 18:04:13 you need to extract the boot image, extract ramdisk, repack it, and repack the boot image) Dec 11 18:04:32 oh.. Dec 11 18:04:35 lol Dec 11 18:04:43 ...so, I get that you wanna that repacked image I just made) Dec 11 18:04:47 i thought it's simple Dec 11 18:04:53 :D Dec 11 18:05:21 if only I'd remeber in which of the terminal tabs it was... Dec 11 18:05:29 ah, here Dec 11 18:05:36 what ? Dec 11 18:05:57 you have a repacked image ? Dec 11 18:06:59 nothing, here you go http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54372958/boot-raring-gz.img Dec 11 18:06:59 tassadar_: Eh? Why would you need it while booting? Dec 11 18:07:32 tassadar_: If your boot process (or ours) is calling flash-kernel, that's a bit odd. Dec 11 18:07:44 installer calls it Dec 11 18:08:16 tassadar_: Oh, sure, that's a different story. That means our installer isn't quite right for your setup, that's all. Dec 11 18:08:30 lol Dec 11 18:08:34 I will probably not use the installer though, so, it really is enough to do it after boot Dec 11 18:08:56 where would be the appropriate place to do it? Dec 11 18:09:17 (somewhere where no package will overwrite it) Dec 11 18:09:57 tassadar_: how you can do multirom :D Dec 11 18:09:59 i am curious Dec 11 18:10:20 tassadar_: You should just remove flash-kernel, if it doesn't do the right thing for your setup. Dec 11 18:10:25 tassadar_: Hacking around it is silly. Dec 11 18:10:39 * tassadar_ slaps himself Dec 11 18:11:00 forgot it is just package like everything else, so apt-get purge flash-kernel, nice :) Dec 11 18:11:07 cortexA9: what? Oo Dec 11 18:11:19 yes Dec 11 18:11:22 i mean Dec 11 18:11:35 multirom it's hard to make it ? Dec 11 18:12:28 the idea is simple, the hard thing is to make it nice and easy to use for the "average android root user" Dec 11 18:12:39 :) Dec 11 18:13:11 lol Dec 11 18:13:14 i inject it Dec 11 18:13:15 thanks Dec 11 18:13:18 now i try Dec 11 18:13:31 I think the main difference is the graphical boot menu, I did not see that in any other multi boot mod on XDA Dec 11 18:14:30 damn Dec 11 18:14:34 it not boot.. Dec 11 18:14:40 lol Dec 11 18:14:45 does it say anything? Dec 11 18:14:59 yes Dec 11 18:15:02 error no tarball found Dec 11 18:15:13 did you use the right rootfs.img Dec 11 18:15:18 ? Dec 11 18:15:25 it say Dec 11 18:15:59 there is no tarball because it is already installed, I hoped it would just print the error and continue on, but apparently not Dec 11 18:16:11 gimme a while Dec 11 18:16:16 ok Dec 11 18:18:40 sudo fastboot flash userdata raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img Dec 11 18:18:47 takeswaay too long time Dec 11 18:19:09 gets stuck at sending 'userdata' (728117 KB)... Dec 11 18:19:36 i tried to make at image for 32GB nexus7 Dec 11 18:20:05 guys i think one thing Dec 11 18:20:25 thinking Dec 11 18:20:32 lol Dec 11 18:21:22 gurgalof: fastboot has problems flashing files that big Dec 11 18:21:59 how did nexus7-installer do it with quantal? Dec 11 18:22:03 I think -S 600M switch could help with that...? Dec 11 18:22:18 the images were smaller Dec 11 18:22:42 there was an image for the 32GB one... Dec 11 18:22:47 cortexA9: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54372958/boot-raring-gz2.img Dec 11 18:22:49 -S 600M on what? Dec 11 18:23:20 tassadar_: thanks Dec 11 18:23:30 fastboot -S 600M flash userdata ..., but I am not sure it was exactly that, I did not try it Dec 11 18:26:21 I think the -S doesn't work with nexus 7 Dec 11 18:27:04 yeah, people who were trying it said it mostly does not work Dec 11 18:27:20 I didn't succeed even once.. I tried quite many times Dec 11 18:27:44 if you have just root.tar.gz in that image, I would just copy it via recovery Dec 11 18:28:14 tassadar_: no init found Dec 11 18:28:29 try passing init=bootarg. Dec 11 18:29:17 well, damn) which nexus do you have, 32gb with 3g? Dec 11 18:29:26 no Dec 11 18:30:02 32 wifi Dec 11 18:30:23 i have 32 with wifi too Dec 11 18:30:53 it wont boot ubuntu sending over with -S 600M Dec 11 18:32:00 cortexA9: I dunno, honestly, ton of things could be wrong - it is just not made to dual boot 13.04 Dec 11 18:32:01 mmm Dec 11 18:32:07 I think it writes all those 600M pieces in the start of the partition.. Dec 11 18:32:38 well, just formating the /data partition in recovery and copying the roofs.tar.gz in there should work okay Dec 11 18:32:43 tassadar_: ok no problem Dec 11 18:33:40 i did make_ext4fs -s -l 27G rootfs.img build/ Dec 11 18:33:58 how should i send i over when fastboot wont do it Dec 11 18:34:31 I've used a modified initrd script that passed the parition as usb mass storage to the PC. Then I can do whatever I want with it Dec 11 18:34:53 what is in the build/ folder? there should be just one tar.gz in there, right? Dec 11 18:35:01 yep Dec 11 18:35:25 do you have some custom recovery installed on n7? Dec 11 18:35:32 is the image <700M? Dec 11 18:35:40 no and no Dec 11 18:35:57 can't flash it then with fastboot Dec 11 18:36:04 ending 'userdata' (728117 KB)... Dec 11 18:36:10 a little too big Dec 11 18:36:35 the limit is about 700M, I'm not exactly sure about the size Dec 11 18:37:03 what does that limit come from? Dec 11 18:37:10 it goes to memory first Dec 11 18:37:23 ah Dec 11 18:37:28 if you had the recovery installed, you could copy the tar.gz into /data partition, without flashing Dec 11 18:37:45 either via adb push or via OTG flash drive Dec 11 18:37:55 you can add rom Dec 11 18:38:01 rootfs right Dec 11 18:38:39 ? Dec 11 18:38:51 no nothing sorry Dec 11 18:38:54 :) Dec 11 18:39:17 tassadar_: and with apt-get dist-upgrade ? Dec 11 18:39:27 i can upgrade at 13.04 ? Dec 11 18:39:48 from 12.10 Dec 11 18:40:14 it will probably just break - v2 does some ugly things to make dual-booting work :/ Dec 11 18:40:46 mmm Dec 11 18:40:49 maybe not :P Dec 11 18:41:02 i try :D Dec 11 18:41:17 http://ruedigergad.com/2012/12/09/nexus-7-easily-flashaccess-entire-userdata-partition/ Dec 11 18:41:26 that's what I used for my non-ubuntu rootfs Dec 11 18:42:23 it's a question of packages.. Dec 11 18:42:24 i think Dec 11 18:42:53 i need a 27GB image, that is under 700MB... Dec 11 18:43:20 why you need that ? Dec 11 18:43:21 that's not a problem if you have only a 500M of files in there :) Dec 11 18:43:40 i have the same files as the daily build Dec 11 18:43:54 the 6GB image is 40MB smaller Dec 11 18:44:02 and it will flash Dec 11 18:44:52 how can i put kubuntu ? Dec 11 18:45:09 just install kubuntu-desktop ? Dec 11 18:45:40 but i tried.. Dec 11 18:45:54 but still open unity.. Dec 11 18:46:05 strange Dec 11 18:46:18 hmm maybe a higher compression on the tar.gz may work Dec 11 18:47:03 can you remove some packages from the build? Dec 11 18:47:14 who? Dec 11 18:47:19 gurgalof Dec 11 18:48:04 dunno, just wanted the daily build, but the right size for 32GB Dec 11 18:48:17 gurgalof: create the image without the rootfs.tar.gz and flash that. Then follow the instructions in the blog post, mount the partition like an USB stick and copy as big rootfs.tar.gz there as you want Dec 11 18:49:05 the fastboot command there with the moslo images doesn't flash anything, just temporarily boot with those files. Dec 11 18:49:35 tassadar_: one question Dec 11 18:49:43 i see, i will try in a moment.... Dec 11 18:50:18 yes Dec 11 18:50:52 the modified recovery add multirom right ? Dec 11 18:51:22 i flashed it with nexus 7 toolkit Dec 11 18:51:37 the button multirom right Dec 11 18:51:49 because they didn't appear Dec 11 18:51:58 because it didn't appear Dec 11 18:52:17 with only multirom Dec 11 18:52:21 do you use some theme for TWRP? Dec 11 18:52:44 no.. Dec 11 18:52:58 what, an empty image takes 140MB.... Dec 11 18:53:34 cortexA9: i don't really understand what you need) Dec 11 18:54:11 you have to flash modified recovery image - I don't know what does the toolkit does, does it flash recovery by itself or does it let you choose the .img file? Dec 11 18:54:12 tassadar_: because with only multirom it didn't appear in TWRP.. Dec 11 18:54:15 just this Dec 11 18:54:34 yes i can choose the img file Dec 11 18:54:50 you have to flash bot recovery and multirom zip Dec 11 18:54:56 *both Dec 11 18:54:58 ok Dec 11 18:55:48 must go Dec 11 18:55:49 eat Dec 11 18:55:50 bye Dec 11 18:58:27 kulve, to compile moslo i need kernel zImage... Dec 11 18:59:18 isn't the needed kernel and initrd images in that moslo package that you can extract with rpm? The instructions are there on the post, a bit inconvenient though.. Dec 11 19:00:22 can i use rpm in ubuntu, isn that fedora shit Dec 11 19:03:16 kulve, ? Dec 11 19:13:04 seem that ican use alien to conver rpm to deb Dec 11 19:30:09 kulve, how do i send the tar.gz over via telnet? Dec 11 19:31:24 you know ssh doesnt work in arm ? Dec 11 19:32:55 nvm, saw that i got a mass storage device Dec 11 19:34:07 i think there is a problem with openssh in arm Dec 11 19:34:26 in quantal Dec 11 19:34:50 i tried it Dec 11 19:42:53 cortexA9: Eh? SSH works on ARM just fine. Dec 11 19:43:32 sure ? Dec 11 19:43:47 mmm Dec 11 19:44:02 i lost the connection Dec 11 19:44:09 after login Dec 11 19:44:10 Positive. I use it all the time, on many different ARM hosts. Dec 11 19:44:16 I've certainly used ssh a number of times on my nexus7 running raring. Dec 11 19:44:36 If it lets you login, THEN you lose the connection, that's not SSH having an issue, that's something logging you out or killing your shell. Dec 11 19:45:16 i mean in quantal.. Dec 11 19:45:35 Yes, I heard you. Dec 11 19:45:51 SSH on ARM in quantal works fine. Dec 11 19:45:53 no for LisaNori1 Dec 11 19:46:14 Yep, I know. I was just adding another data point. Dec 11 19:46:19 ok Dec 11 19:46:49 i don't know what is.. Dec 11 19:47:01 very strange Dec 11 19:57:08 ssh in 12.10 on n7 works okay for me Dec 11 20:01:11 gurgalof: so you did get it mounted over usb? Dec 11 20:02:15 and about the rpm, you can "use" it just fine in deb based systems, it just doesn't have any packages in the DB, so installing anything is a bit tricky. But for extracting packages or checking the info of them works nicely Dec 11 20:08:15 hmm, I do wonder if n7's bootloader can boot the second bootloader, like u-boot Dec 11 20:09:22 I mean, there is a entity called "second" in the boot.img, looks like it is just for that purpose Dec 11 20:10:30 I have yet to actually see any devices support the second part in boot.img's Dec 11 20:11:00 but you could technically chainload a non-initializing u-boot packed as a boot.img kernel Dec 11 20:13:34 ooh, so that is the way grub could actually be done even for devices with "locked" bootloader Dec 11 20:14:07 now I see what ogra_ meant Dec 11 20:20:35 kulve, yep, got it working... Dec 11 20:20:53 gurgalof: great Dec 11 23:35:51 Hi. Just booted with daily build on nexus 7 for the first time, great to see the logo on the screen :-) Dec 11 23:36:33 However, onscreen keyboard has stopped having any effect on the "Who are you" screen Dec 11 23:36:52 (ironic given that I was planning on doing some work on an onscreen keyboard) Dec 11 23:38:54 what's the best way to give it a poke? I don't even know how to power it down from here... Dec 11 23:53:42 At some point I think the panel icons were unresponsive, and that trained me into thinking that the "Who are you" dialog was modal. In fact I could just reboot using the power button icon at the top (but not using fastboot -- why?) Dec 11 23:54:49 got through the dialog fine this time... Dec 12 00:15:33 quince: hold the side power button down and it should reset Dec 12 00:16:07 quince: thats a known issue (onscreen keyboard becoming unresponsive) Dec 12 00:50:32 sfeole: I wasn't able to reset it by holding the power button down (for about 5 seconds -- perhaps not long enough?) Dec 12 00:52:29 quince, what do you mean by "(but not using fastboot -- why?)" Dec 12 00:54:59 lilstevie: I tried running sudo fastboot reboot, and that printed "< waiting for device >" but had not other obvious effect Dec 12 00:55:17 *no Dec 12 00:55:26 quince, but everything else you typed would suggest you were in userland Dec 12 00:55:38 quince: yea not long enough, 15 seconds will reboot it. Dec 12 00:56:23 userland? not sure what you're referring to in this context Dec 12 00:56:27 sfeole: ok Dec 12 00:56:59 quince, you were running ubuntu Dec 12 00:57:09 from what it sounds like Dec 12 00:57:11 or android Dec 12 00:57:12 on which device? Dec 12 00:57:29 both my desktop and the nexus 7 were running ubuntu Dec 12 00:57:37 yeah I mean on your nexus 7 Dec 12 00:57:46 fastboot only works in fastboot mode Dec 12 00:57:49 I was running fastboot on the desktop Dec 12 00:57:50 which is in bootloader Dec 12 00:58:06 ok, let me simplify this Dec 12 00:58:27 ok Dec 12 00:58:38 I will differentiate both, fastboot-util for the thing you run on your computer Dec 12 00:58:41 fastboot for on device Dec 12 00:58:42 think you alrready explained... Dec 12 00:59:01 to issue commands from fastboot-util your device has to be in fastboot mode Dec 12 00:59:19 when you are booted into an OS you are not in this mode Dec 12 00:59:34 right -- was clear from "only works in fastboot mode" :-) Dec 12 01:00:20 :) Dec 12 02:20:52 m00 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Dec 12 02:59:58 2012
