Jan 10 05:52:05 <voltagex_> Hi, is the source for kexec-hardboot anywhere?
Jan 10 05:53:30 <voltagex_> Ah, found it
Jan 10 06:22:25 <gdane> is someone work with old armv5?
Jan 10 12:18:31 <ogra_> achiang, poke
Jan 10 13:36:10 <wookey> cjwatson: what was that URL you showed me yesterday with cross status summary. Can;t find it now...
Jan 10 13:36:27 <wookey> only the older/more detailed: http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/cross/armhf/raring/
Jan 10 13:37:21 <cjwatson> wookey: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrossBuilding/BuilddChroot perhaps?
Jan 10 13:37:39 <wookey> ah yes - cheers. too much internet these days :-)
Jan 10 14:03:31 <marvin24> ogra_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-tegra/+bug/1085266 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-tegra/+bug/1085266 btw

Jan 10 14:03:53 <marvin24> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-tegra/+bug/1085452 I mean
Jan 10 14:03:54 <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1085452 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-tegra (Ubuntu) "please provide an openmax package for tegra SoCs" [Undecided,New]
Jan 10 14:04:12 <ogra_> well, i have to update it once nvidia privides the driver for the new xorg anyway
Jan 10 14:04:29 <ogra_> feel free to assign to me
Jan 10 14:04:38 <ogra_> but i have to wait for the new drivers
Jan 10 14:04:58 <ogra_> (we're switching to ABI 14 soon afaik)
Jan 10 14:13:02 <marvin24> 14? this is one and a half year old!
Jan 10 14:13:09 <marvin24> 16r2 is current
Jan 10 14:13:15 <marvin24> or do you mean xorg abi
Jan 10 14:13:17 <marvin24> ah, must be
Jan 10 14:14:38 <ogra_> yeah
Jan 10 14:14:40 <ogra_> heh
Jan 10 14:41:11 <rigved> hi everyone.
Jan 10 14:41:46 <rigved> i was thinking of trying to rebuild the raring build to resize the image for my 32 GB tablet.
Jan 10 14:42:07 <rigved> till now, i have found this: http://www.mattfischer.com/blog/?p=285
Jan 10 14:42:22 <rigved> but it says that the process has changed for 13.04
Jan 10 14:42:37 <rigved> could anyone help me with the changed process?
Jan 10 14:43:59 <Tassadar> well, the process is more or less the same, but the 32gb image will not flash because it is too big
Jan 10 14:44:50 <Tassadar> do you have some custom recovery installed on your n7? (if you don't know what that is, you don't have it)
Jan 10 14:44:51 <achiang> ogra_: hi
Jan 10 14:45:15 <ogra_> achiang, any idea what we plan wrt the weekly n7 meetings ?
Jan 10 14:45:44 <ogra_> i was asked by a few people now if we stopped working on n7 because there are no status infos anymore :)
Jan 10 14:47:25 <ogra_> rigved, install android-fsutils, unpack the image with smig3img, loop mount it, copy the tarball to a temporary dir and use make_ext4fs with your preferred size to create a new rootfs image
Jan 10 14:47:27 <achiang> ogra_: we should do them again
Jan 10 14:47:33 <achiang> ogra_: i've just been maxed out lately
Jan 10 14:47:36 <ogra_> *simg2img
Jan 10 14:48:07 <ogra_> achiang, k, just wanted to know the plans, thx
Jan 10 14:50:08 <rigved> Tassadar: no, i do not have any custom recovery installed (i do not know what that means ;) )
Jan 10 14:50:31 <Tassadar> okay, then do what ogra says :)
Jan 10 14:51:15 <rigved> ogra_: ok. i am following your instructions now.
Jan 10 14:51:38 <rigved> Tassadar, ogra_: thanks. will revert back with status.
Jan 10 15:57:44 <jpastore> hola, i have a beaglebone running ubuntu arm 12.04 and I'm getting an error trying to install or update packages via apt-get. followed some howto's on trying to resolve it to no avail
Jan 10 15:58:08 <ogra_> can you pastebin the error ?
Jan 10 15:58:23 <jpastore> sure 1 sec
Jan 10 16:00:54 <jpastore> ogra_, http://pastebin.com/i3cypqxY
Jan 10 16:03:09 <ogra_> sudo cp /var/backups/dpkg.status.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Jan 10 16:03:13 <ogra_> and trz again
Jan 10 16:03:18 <ogra_> *try
Jan 10 16:04:09 <ogra_> also check dmesg for filesystem errors etc, that database doesnt break on its own usually
Jan 10 16:05:01 <jpastore> ok
Jan 10 16:06:29 <jpastore> ogra_, same fail
Jan 10 16:07:47 <ogra_> hmm, did you take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/status ?
Jan 10 16:07:51 <ogra_> its a text file
Jan 10 16:16:06 <jpastore> ogra_, yea but it looks like a tab delimited file that i can't make sense of...
Jan 10 16:16:33 <jpastore> it look structured and ok...consistent...but i don't know what the values mean and their relevance
Jan 10 16:16:52 <ogra_> it should just be package descriptions plus their status
Jan 10 16:17:26 <ogra_> you can try moving the file out of the way for a test (and touch an empty one in place)
Jan 10 16:18:03 <jpastore> ogra_, ok i think I tried this in a how to, but let me try again following your instructions...i can't talk to a howto =)
Jan 10 16:18:13 <ogra_> heh
Jan 10 16:21:08 <jpastore> ogra_, hmm...update ran with no error or updates...
Jan 10 16:22:23 <jpastore> going to try and install some stuff...thanks for the help. i appreciate it. have a good day!
Jan 10 17:15:14 <plars> xnox, ogra_: back before the holidays, we were discussing how to preseed the install on nexus7. Any ideas on this? nothing I've tried so far has worked.
Jan 10 17:22:25 <xnox> plars: well on the kde active blog, they use adb to change kernel command line. I wonder if we can abuse that for preseeding nexus7
Jan 10 17:22:51 <xnox> but I still didn't check if end-user oem-config can at all be preseeded or not.
Jan 10 17:23:26 <plars> xnox: I've slept since then, but I think I tried setting a few options that way without any luck
Jan 10 17:24:07 <plars> xnox: then I tried copying the image to the device before starting the first boot, and I also tried inserting it in the initrd.  Neither worked for me so far but it's entirely possible that I'm just missing something
Jan 10 17:24:42 <plars> xnox: You had mentioned that you were going to check that, and I was wanting to get some confirmation that I wasn't trying something here that simply isn't possible
Jan 10 17:25:34 <xnox> ah. that's what happened.
Jan 10 17:25:55 <xnox> Ok. I have one more oem-config bug to check, I guess my next install will be oem-config.
Jan 10 17:45:39 <jodh`> ogra_: is ureadahead on arm affected by bug 1085766?
Jan 10 17:45:39 <ubot2`> Launchpad bug 1085766 in ureadahead (Ubuntu) "/var/log/upstart/ureadahead.log contains garbage" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1085766
Jan 10 18:26:14 <rigved> Tassadar: ok. you are right. it seems that the 27G image is not being flashed. been waiting for too long.
Jan 10 18:29:02 <Tassadar> what size is the image? like the .img file?
Jan 10 18:29:14 <rigved> i was reading up on the multi-boot method. it involves a custom recovery. why did you ask me about it earlier? will i be able to flash, say a 13G image on to it using that method?
Jan 10 18:29:46 <Tassadar> well, you can access the data partition from there, so you could just copy the root.tar.gz from USB drive to /data
Jan 10 18:29:51 <rigved> Tassadar: 706M
Jan 10 18:29:57 <Tassadar> yeah, that is a bit too much
Jan 10 18:36:44 <rigved> Tassadar: ok
Jan 10 18:37:10 <Tassadar> you wanna try to install it using the recovery?
Jan 10 18:38:10 <rigved> i could try. has anyone tried it before?
Jan 10 18:38:25 <rigved> did it work?
Jan 10 18:39:08 <Tassadar> i would guess not, but well, it is just copying one file
Jan 10 18:39:50 <Tassadar> you don't even have to install the recovery, just boot it using "fastboot boot"
Jan 10 18:40:16 <jpastore> is it a problem to install php5 on a beaglebone?
Jan 10 18:42:44 <rigved> Tassadar: ok. please correct me if i got this wrong. install the 8G version manually; before booting into ubuntu the first time, boot into fastboot boot; copy the new root.tar.gz over to the /data partition; then boot into ubuntu.
Jan 10 18:44:45 <Tassadar> well, you need to make the /data 27gb big, and you can't really do that without loosing data, so I would recomend flashing factory android image (that will also properly format /data to 27gb
Jan 10 18:44:46 <Tassadar> )
Jan 10 18:45:25 <Tassadar> then wiping /data, and copying rootfs.tar.gz in there
Jan 10 18:46:12 <Tassadar> (if your /data is not properly formated already, that is, I dunno what that failed fastboot did, maybe it did not do anything)
Jan 10 18:51:12 <rigved> Tassadar: ok. i am trying that now.
Jan 10 18:51:45 <jpastore> so I'm trying to setup a webserver on a beaglebone. started by apt-get install php5, figured that would give me everything i needed or get me close. apt-get failed and recommended: apt-get -f install...which also failed. pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VxajDrkQ
Jan 10 18:52:08 <jpastore> any ideas on how to resolve?
Jan 10 18:52:41 <Tassadar> did you do apt-get update?
Jan 10 18:53:14 <jpastore> i did
Jan 10 18:53:40 <Tassadar> it says "E: Cannot get debconf version. Is debconf installed?", did you notice that?
Jan 10 18:54:10 <jpastore> checking
Jan 10 18:55:38 <jpastore> aptitude search debconf shows pi next to it. i means installed correct? i'm used to the gui on my laptop
Jan 10 18:56:34 <Tassadar> I don't really know, but trying "apt-get install debconf" would surely do no harm
Jan 10 18:59:05 <jpastore> Tassadar, installing debconf is failing via apt-get and aptitude...here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/6PQYpYTu
Jan 10 19:01:17 <Tassadar> it kinda looks like there is something broken in there, it looks kinda weird that "apt-utils", "dpkg" and "coreutils" are not installed yet
Jan 10 19:01:37 <jpastore> i think older versions are installed
Jan 10 19:01:41 <jpastore> and it's not updating
Jan 10 19:02:02 <jpastore> maybe I should backup the image and do a distribtion upgrade?
Jan 10 19:02:26 <Tassadar> wait, your dpkg status file was broken, wasn't it?
Jan 10 19:02:40 <jpastore> I think so
Jan 10 19:02:49 <Tassadar> how did you fix it?
Jan 10 19:02:55 <jpastore> I'm trying: aptitude -f install dpkg
Jan 10 19:03:03 <jpastore> it's not
Jan 10 19:04:00 <jpastore> it's failing on libc6 support and multiarch-support
Jan 10 19:05:14 <Tassadar> I dunno, it to me it _looks_ like something is terribly messed up, if that status file is not correct, it _might_ be the cause
Jan 10 19:06:06 <jpastore> Tassadar, I moved the status and touched a new one because i was getting errors saying the status file could not be parsed
Jan 10 19:06:14 <jpastore> I was then able to do an apt-get update
Jan 10 19:06:27 <jpastore> I then later tried to install php5...and now I'm stuck
Jan 10 19:07:24 <Tassadar> can you check what is in that status file? Like did it re-fill that file or is it just empty?
Jan 10 19:09:27 <jpastore> it repopulated
Jan 10 19:09:40 <jpastore> it's about 3600 bytes...whereas the backup one was over 400k
Jan 10 19:11:32 <Tassadar> maybe it can't be just repopulated like that
Jan 10 19:13:05 <jpastore> maybe...but I was going on a suggestion from ogra_. it seemed to allow the apt-get update to work but I'm not able to install basic stuf like tzdata
Jan 10 19:13:34 <jpastore> I wish there was a repair all problems option....
Jan 10 19:13:46 <Tassadar> try to ls /var/backup, there might be another backup of dpkg.status
Jan 10 19:14:37 <jpastore> ok... 1 sec
Jan 10 19:15:22 <jpastore> there's a dkph.status.0 that's 435k like the other status file I backed up
Jan 10 19:16:27 <jpastore> Tassadar, I got these: /var/backups/dpkg.status.0  /var/backups/dpkg.status.1.gz  /var/backups/dpkg.status.2.gz
Jan 10 19:16:27 <Tassadar> well, try to use it, maybe that one is okay
Jan 10 19:16:34 <jpastore> ok
Jan 10 19:17:39 <jpastore> just copy that file to /var/lib/dpkg/status and run apt-get update?
Jan 10 19:17:48 <jpastore> no it's unable to be parsed
Jan 10 19:17:56 <Tassadar> yeah
Jan 10 19:18:21 <jpastore> trying to regen the file
Jan 10 19:18:38 <jpastore> this is like tryign to fix a looping cpan failure...
Jan 10 19:29:23 <Tassadar> yeah, dpkg/status is rather fragile :/ why did it break anyway?
Jan 10 19:31:15 <Tassadar> like, isn't the sdcard corrupted or something?
Jan 10 19:31:17 <jpastore> Tassadar, it's been broken. I got an image installer for the beagle bone ...no love. I was told not enough ram to handle updates but i find that hard to believe. after going through the steps to resolve I seem better off but not funcitoning and don't know what to do
Jan 10 19:31:51 <jpastore> not sure the sd card is corrupt...possible but unlikely. it's a spare 32g I had in a phone
Jan 10 19:33:18 <Tassadar> I don't really know anything about the beagleboard, somebody who does would probably be more helpful
Jan 10 19:33:45 <jpastore> appreciated.
Jan 10 19:34:34 <jpastore> thanks for the effort. when I go over to #beagle* they give me crap for installing ubuntu instead of solving the problem. so I'm at a loss for where to go..
Jan 10 19:34:54 <Tassadar> :D
Jan 10 19:39:55 <jpastore> Tassadar, what about downloading these packages and manually installing them. like debconf and perl-base
Jan 10 19:42:23 <Tassadar> well, there is no harm in trying, but I am inclined to think that dpkg status file can't be even fixed
Jan 10 19:44:11 <jpastore> hmmm...
Jan 10 19:44:54 <jpastore> maybe I should backup this image and try a fresh 12.10 image. I had problems with that too...but maybe the status fix that I did in 12.04 will make it work.
Jan 10 19:45:24 <Tassadar> yeah, flashing fresh image would probably be the best
Jan 10 19:49:24 <jpastore> yea I think I'm going to try that later...
Jan 10 19:49:28 <jpastore> thanks again
Jan 10 19:51:26 <camm`> anyone here able to field a reloc question?
Jan 10 20:33:59 <Tassadar> Jef91: you maintain BohdiLinux image for nexus 7, right?
Jan 10 20:34:31 <Jef91> Yes Sir Tassadar
Jan 10 20:36:11 <Ethernin> Hey Jef91 do u have a package list for the enlightenment stuff you installed?  I'd love to have this setup on top of ubuntu as the desktop environment and am wondering what else i need besides e17
Jan 10 20:36:20 <Tassadar> you realeased new one yesterday, will apt-get upgrade update my current installation? Or are these just images without proper repositories?
Jan 10 20:37:05 <Jef91> Tassadar: most of my stuff is just manually setup at the moment
Jan 10 20:37:14 <Jef91> Not in package form
Jan 10 20:37:31 <Jef91> So, tl/dr you need to reflash
Jan 10 20:37:34 <Tassadar> okay, thanks
Jan 10 20:37:47 <Jef91> Ethernin: I have my own custom package set
Jan 10 20:38:06 <Jef91> Ubuntu E17 packages are old and awkward
Jan 10 20:38:29 <Ethernin> Jef91, word, is the list on your website at all?
Jan 10 20:38:55 <Jef91> Ethernin: packages.bodhilinux.com has our repo list in html form
Jan 10 20:39:03 <Jef91> Lots of stuff on there.
Jan 10 20:41:10 <Tassadar> btw, I was kinda surprised to see how fast e17 is on n7, both unity and plasma are struggling with 3D acceleration I guess :)
Jan 10 20:41:48 <Jef91> ha
Jan 10 20:41:52 <Jef91> Tassadar: e17 is fast on everything
Jan 10 20:41:56 <Jef91> modern desktops need to learn from it
Jan 10 20:42:01 <Jef91> and stop bloating their shit
Jan 10 20:42:12 <Ethernin> aweomse thanks Jef91
Jan 10 20:43:12 <Jef91> Ethernin: keep in mind the ARMHF packages there are built for Debian Wheezy
Jan 10 20:43:18 <Jef91> YMMV on other platforms
Jan 10 21:29:57 <wbf> Hello!
Jan 10 21:30:11 <wbf> I have succeeded in installing ubuntu on the UG802
Jan 10 21:30:18 <wbf> the only problem is..
Jan 10 21:30:27 <wbf> the belkin usb card it doesn't work
Jan 10 21:30:36 <wbf> as in the F5D5050
Jan 10 21:34:22 <ubuntubhoy> is it a known issue with linux for that card ?
Jan 10 21:35:10 <wbf> no 5 people said the pegasus driver works just fine
Jan 10 21:35:26 <ubuntubhoy> hmm
Jan 10 21:35:26 <wbf> but I cannto compile it successfully for arm
Jan 10 21:35:43 <ubuntubhoy> what is the F number on the card
Jan 10 21:35:55 <ubuntubhoy> iirc there are dif versions of that chip
Jan 10 21:36:09 <ubuntubhoy> can't remember if they all work
Jan 10 21:36:10 <wbf> F5D5050
Jan 10 21:37:23 <ubuntubhoy> but the pegasus driver wont compile
Jan 10 21:37:31 <wbf> yep
Jan 10 21:38:41 <ubuntubhoy> what errors you getting
Jan 10 21:39:12 <wbf> 1 second
Jan 10 21:40:24 <wbf> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1518086/
Jan 10 21:43:49 <wbf> ubuntubhoy,  PS: got all drivers to work via ⌨ (commandline) so far and got the video to work, it's now a working desktop :D
Jan 10 21:44:10 <wbf> ubuntubhoy, except the belkin
Jan 10 21:44:11 <ubuntubhoy> That's not bad going in itself
Jan 10 21:44:49 <wbf> can you help me through? can you compile the drivers for arm and send them to me?
Jan 10 22:00:06 <wbf> ubuntubhoy, Are you still there?
Jan 10 22:02:26 <ubuntubhoy> sorry mate was working
Jan 10 22:02:38 <ubuntubhoy> also, I am not able to compile anything here
Jan 10 22:02:38 <wbf> oh
Jan 10 22:02:51 <ubuntubhoy> but I was having a look about to see if I could find the cause
Jan 10 22:02:56 <ubuntubhoy> nothing yet
Jan 10 22:02:57 <ubuntubhoy> sorry
Jan 10 22:24:13 <wbf> Hello?
