**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Nov 07 03:00:00 2014 Nov 07 17:18:23 I am experiencing a problem with my framebuffer, it appears with the desktop GUI for a portion of a second and then disappears leaving only a blinking CPU monitor behind that persists on the display even when I leave the Linux deploy app and traverse the android realm. Nov 07 17:19:04 not sure what the "linux deploy app" is ... ever heard of it Nov 07 17:19:08 *never Nov 07 17:19:29 but you should probably talk to the people providing that thing Nov 07 17:21:36 its a chroot thing Nov 07 17:21:52 k1l, sure, but definitely not an ubuntu thing Nov 07 17:23:47 … hmm, I don't know how good and prompt support is for it. I could really use a bit of knowledge on how framebuffer/x server integrates with my machine via chroot. Nov 07 17:24:18 there were some chroot apps which connected with vnc locally to the chroot running linuxes to simulate a desktop linux on the android devices. i tested it once then and it was "rubbish". Nov 07 17:24:26 I have seen forums, and none express this particular problem Nov 07 17:25:21 well, on a native ubuntu install you would just use the xorg fbdev driver which would use /dev/fb0 or some such to get graphics on the screen Nov 07 17:25:56 (unaccelerated) Nov 07 17:25:59 The vnc server its rubbish/laggy from what I hear from everyone. That is why I elected to the framebuffer for my deployment Nov 07 17:28:12 dev/fb0 is the driver I'm using and I am seeing feedback, but something its happening which is distorting it this way. Nov 07 17:28:33 no, /dev/fb0 is the device, not the driver Nov 07 17:28:37 Is not it's * x2 Nov 07 17:28:48 the driver would attach to the device Nov 07 17:30:09 Right Nov 07 17:32:17 I'm sorry the path on the Android device is /dev/graphics/fb0 Nov 07 17:33:06 The path that you are describing is what you would see in Ubuntu Nov 07 17:37:54 I tried ln -s /dev/graphics/fb0 /dev/fb0 without success Nov 07 17:42:56 Tried this as well cp -af /dev/graphics/fb0 $chroot_dir/dev/fb0 , perhaps its the reason I'm seeing anything at all, I don't know Nov 07 17:44:11 well, whatever you do inside the chroot, it will depend on the permissions set by the host system ... Nov 07 17:44:26 (and copying devices wont work) Nov 07 17:46:58 Ok, I have root permissions available, what would I have to change on the hosting device? Nov 07 17:47:48 dunno Nov 07 17:48:18 but if android restricts access to a group you are not in for example ... you need to have the same group with the same GID insode your chroot Nov 07 17:48:40 (which gets awfully messy between android and ubuntu if you want all permissions right) Nov 07 17:50:58 right, I can imagine that. Nov 07 17:53:25 Though why would it be that I get any signal at all when I try to open Ubuntu, if I'm out their k outside THE GID Nov 07 17:54:02 If I'm outside the GID * Nov 07 17:55:14 dunno, check your logs etc, fix whatever it complains about ... and in the end, talk to the people that created this tool Nov 07 17:55:31 Ok Nov 07 17:55:54 there is really not much that can be done on the ubuntu side if you have a broken tool that created your setup Nov 07 18:09:00 I sent an email, so we'll see what comes of it Nov 07 18:11:00 I know that you are right, but I'm pretty sure I can ssh into the Ubuntu side to interface Nov 07 18:12:16 I still wouldn't know what would need to be done to effectively iron out this issue when I got there Nov 07 18:13:54 How to set up the dependencies and all that Nov 07 18:16:21 well, but is not something we usually do in ubuntu ... we dont bastardize an install on top of some android system ... Nov 07 18:39:42 The only error I'm seeing is “ Stdin: is not a tty ” Nov 07 19:02:20 Do you think this will work if I put it into the custom script option?
