[07:44] <sveinse> Does Ubuntu/Debian have any mechanism for deferring some action after next reboot and not more than once?
[08:03] <ogra_> janimo, kernel build failed :(
[08:04] <ogra_> (it seems to use Werror ?!?)
[08:08] <ogra_> oh, only -Werror=maybe-uninitialized
[08:35] <ogra_> janimo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1247107/ i guess we should drop all these hardcoded -Werrors ;)
[09:01] <janimo> ogra_, I am on it. I built using 4.6 and worked fine :(
[09:01] <janimo> 4.7 is pickier
[09:02] <janimo> I cross-built on precise forgetting there may be toolchain issues if uploading to quantal
[09:02] <janimo> I hate it when I need to bump the ABI with no .deb available and have to do the manual creation of those files and dirs
[09:03] <janimo> ogra_, lots of Werrors in the tegra kernel btw. I'd keep them there thougg but I'll pay more attention when testing the build
[09:13] <hrw> http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2012/09/28/lets-take-a-look-at-arm-boards-again/ - opinions?
[09:15] <bizulk> hi ! has the ubuntu-arm been installed on commercial device lie : archos 32,43 or other omap based mobile devices
[09:16] <ogra_> janimo, well, according to ppisati thats not usual in kernel builds
[09:16] <LetoThe2nd> hrw: opinion: 500 - Internal Server Error
[09:16] <suihkulokki> likewise
[09:16] <ogra_> janimo, i would drop them, in case anyone rebuilds with an exotic toolchain
[09:17] <janimo> ogra_, probably makes sense. No idea. Don't these catch actual bugs as in userspace code?
[09:17] <janimo> Or enforce some coding conventions. Some are really picky I agree.
[09:17] <ogra_> usually warnings arent errors :)
[09:17] <hrw> checkng
[09:17] <LetoThe2nd> bizulk: should be doable. archos even offers an "open" bootloader.
[09:17] <ogra_> and kernel builds always spill warnings
[09:18] <LetoThe2nd> bizulk: there also are positive reports, but no "1-2-3 click here, done" guide.
[09:20]  * ogra_ hugs ppisati for the fixing of bug 1045855
[09:20] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1045855 in linux-ti-omap4 "usb keyboard doesn't work during installation of ubuntu-server on panda" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1045855
[09:20] <ogra_> was the udeb actually missing ?
[09:22] <ogra_> hrw, "Error establishing a database connection" over here
[09:23] <suihkulokki> it's available on planet.linaro.org tho
[09:24] <ogra_> yeah, i read it on my tablet during the coffeebreak i just had ... there it worked fine
[09:25] <ogra_> using the link from g+ though
[09:25] <suihkulokki> hrw: you should mention on that the A10 is not only lacking in mainline kernel, but also no public documentation either
[09:25] <ogra_> there is
[09:26] <suihkulokki> url?
[09:26] <ogra_> (me is just fighting with some 100% chinese PDFs)
[09:26] <suihkulokki> ...from the dark alleys of the internets
[09:26] <ogra_> ugh, no idea anymore, its for the script.bin stuff though ... butu googling definitely got me other pdfs too
[09:26] <hrw> suihkulokki: add comment?
[09:27] <ogra_> if you want that one i can push it somewhere
[09:27] <hrw> once I get mysql working again
[09:27] <suihkulokki> ogra_: doesn't count as public docs.. more like leaked docs.
[09:27] <ogra_> heh, ok
[09:27] <ogra_> yeah, might be leaked ....
[09:28] <ogra_> their way of doing their own devicetree type of thing is really annoying
[09:28] <LetoThe2nd> hrw: i know that its not really in the dev board scene already, but what about all that marvell stuff?
[09:29] <ogra_> ++
[09:29] <ogra_> once there are armadaxp boards that workstation thing should be possible
[09:29] <LetoThe2nd> i mean, they pretty much always have the desired sata.
[09:29] <LetoThe2nd> its just that the widely available stuff from them is still armv6/armv5
[09:29] <ogra_> the armadaxp's i have seen even take normal dram
[09:30] <ogra_> xp is v7
[09:30] <suihkulokki> no gpu or even framebuffer on armadaxp
[09:30] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: is there already an affordable kit?
[09:30] <ogra_> quad core 1.2GHz
[09:30] <ogra_> suihkulokki, PCI slots ;)
[09:30] <LetoThe2nd> suihkulokki: what would i need that for?
[09:30] <ogra_> LetoThe2nd, i only saw pre-prod
[09:31] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: ok, so my assumption "not yet" still holds true.
[09:31] <ogra_> yeah
[09:31] <ogra_> but there should be some buyable ones soon
[09:31] <suihkulokki> ogra_: need x86 emulation for those :)
[09:31] <LetoThe2nd> i mean, all those cheap qnap mini nas things make nice hackable things after all.
[09:32] <ogra_> suihkulokki, do i ? i thought the server boards with AXP on them will have them by default
[09:32] <suihkulokki> ogra_: you are aware how video cards are initialized?
[09:33] <LetoThe2nd> openrd ultimate has long had pci anyways.
[09:33] <ogra_> suihkulokki, something you should be able to fake in a driver, no ?
[09:33] <hrw> LetoThe2nd: openrd is armv5
[09:33] <LetoThe2nd> hrw: exactly what i said above.
[09:34] <LetoThe2nd> i just mean that pci on arm is not very far away.
[09:35] <LetoThe2nd> don't know if marvell is still so bi***ing about documentation, though
[09:35] <suihkulokki> ogra_: sure, but someone needs to write the code to do so first
[09:35] <ogra_> indeed
[09:37] <LetoThe2nd> huh, *write* code?
[09:37] <LetoThe2nd> why can't we just *download* the codes?
[09:37] <LetoThe2nd> someone please send me the exact steps!
[09:38] <ogra_> haha
[09:41] <hrw> ok, works again
[09:49] <bizulk> I would like to thanks tu arm-ubuntu community for the DSP integration on OMAP, I'm working on this for 4 Weeks. And finally got the video working on 12.04 (thanks for Robert CN scripts that make a got stuff for downloading a clean kernel image with dsp support). I was going onto this conclusion : "Everybody knows what it is, knows somebody that seen it working, but neved seen it himself neither how to make it works"
[09:50] <ogra_> bizulk, did you file the bug as i asked you, so ppisati can put it iun the official kernel ?
[09:51] <bizulk> no still not. I may do it know
[09:51] <bizulk> where shall I post it ?
[09:51] <ogra_> on the bugtracker url i gave you last time :)
[09:52] <ogra_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
[09:52] <ogra_> 8there is a "report a bug" button on the right
[09:52] <bizulk> ogra_:ok I do it know
[09:53] <ogra_> thanks, give us the bugnumber here afterwards
[09:53] <bizulk> Are we talking about the /proc/config.gz missing file, or the tidspbridge stuff ?
[09:53] <bizulk> or both
[09:54] <ogra_> config.gz isnt a bug
[09:54] <ogra_> (we ship the config as text file already)
[09:54] <bizulk> that's what I was thinking
[09:55] <ogra_> well, i told you last time that its on purpose ... didnt change yet  since ;)
[09:55] <bizulk> I expect the answer to be : this is not a but as gstreamer does not embbed the gst-dsp plugin on the dist
[09:56] <ogra_> well, if the kernel option can be turned on without issues ... even though we dont have the dsp package you shouldnt need t5o recompile your kernel to use it if possible
[09:56] <dholbach> hey hey
[09:56] <ogra_> heh
[09:56] <ogra_> welcome to the club dholbach
[09:56] <dholbach> :)
[09:57] <dholbach> I was wondering if we had some good instructions somewhere to get 12.10 on the Mele A1000 :)
[09:57] <ogra_> no, but there are community people somewhere with images and install instructions
[09:57] <LetoThe2nd> miele a1000? a dishwasher?
[09:58] <ogra_> i'm trying to get an imager for the zatab working before UDS, the a100 shouldnt be to hard to support from that
[09:58] <dholbach> LetoThe2nd, no, I'm afraid not - http://dx.com/p/mele-a2000-1080p-android-2-3-network-multi-media-player-w-sata-usb-hdmi-lan-vga-wifi-4gb-131566 :)
[09:58] <LetoThe2nd> dholbach: ah dammit
[09:58] <dholbach> LetoThe2nd, a dishwasher might make a more interesting news story, I agree :)
[09:58] <ogra_> http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/04/28/how-to-create-your-own-debian-ubuntu-image-for-mele-a1000-allwinner-a10-based-stb/
[09:58] <bizulk> ogra_: you're right, recompile it on the omap would be a real pain
[09:58] <LetoThe2nd> looks nice though. but yet another allwinner.
[09:59] <ogra_> allwinner isnt that bad ...
[09:59] <ogra_> that it is a8 is bad :)
[09:59] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: hehehe
[09:59] <ogra_> the same CPU with dual core would be awesome
[09:59] <dholbach> thanks ogra_ - I'll try that out
[10:00] <bizulk> ogra_: my god this site signing in process is a big armor
[10:00] <LetoThe2nd> given the price tag it might be a nice sidekick device indeed.
[10:00] <ogra_> yeah, the zatab i have here has massive issues though ...
[10:00] <LetoThe2nd> ogra_: like hdmi not working? ;)
[10:01] <ogra_> apps often hang in android
[10:01] <ogra_> due to the CPU being maxed out
[10:01] <LetoThe2nd> dholbach: do you know how all that storage/interface things are glued to the cpu?
[10:01] <ogra_> badly :)
[10:01] <dholbach> LetoThe2nd, I'm afraid I don't
[10:02] <LetoThe2nd> all usb, i guess.
[10:02]  * ogra_ tries to get the MMC to work on his zatab kernel since over a week now 
[10:02] <hrw> ogra_: Allwinner A15 will be dualcore A7 iirc
[10:02] <ogra_> usb works fien so i can run an ubuntu rootfs ... but i cant convince the kernel to keep the MMC powered on once it booted
[10:02] <ogra_> hrw, yeah ... will be ... :)
[10:03] <hrw> ogra_: anyway I keep away from anything in mainline kernel (or on a way to it)
[10:03] <ogra_> not in mainline you mean ?
[10:04] <hrw> yes ;)
[10:04] <ogra_> :)

[10:19] <bizulk> (lunch time now)
[10:27] <ogra_> bizulk, oh, i was hoping you would state the exact options that need to be enabled in the bug so ppisati doesnt need to dig around
[10:28] <ogra_> bizulk, the page you linked to isnt helpful for finding that option

[11:41] <ogra_> ETOOMANYMARCS
[11:46] <bizulk> ogra_: I'll post the config file
[11:46] <ogra_> ppisati, ^^^
[11:51] <ppisati> ogra_: you mean squeak-vm or the config file? :)
[11:51] <ogra_> the config file, unless you want to add smalltalk support to the kernel now :)
[11:53] <ppisati> bizulk: add the config diff to the lp bug you just created
[12:19] <janimo> ogra_, I have uploaded a new ac100 package, I hope it gets through soon and actually builds this time
[12:19] <ogra_> yay
[12:19] <doko> ogra_, would you mind looking at the libaio ftbfs? it crashes the buildd machines ...
[12:19] <ogra_> lets bribe infinity ;)+
[12:20] <ogra_> doko, i dont see it on http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ftbfs/

[12:21] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1058081 in libaio "libaio ftbfs on armel/armhf" [High,Confirmed]
[12:29] <ogra_> hmm,. the build seems to work just fine ... but these tests even make my sabre cpu start glowing
[12:30] <doko> there's a bug report about an invalid test case too
[12:31] <ogra_> ho can something that builds in 5 seconds take so long for its selftests, tsk
[12:33] <ogra_> doko, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1247430/
[12:33] <ogra_> hmm
[12:33] <ogra_> no issues
[12:38] <ogra_> doko, where is the ftbfs buildlog so i can compare the two ?
[12:38] <doko> ogra_, there is none. buildd dies
[12:39] <ogra_> i can imagine, these tests are really evil
[12:39] <ogra_> i have no panda set up for building atm, but will try on a panda as soon as i have one ready
[12:42] <ogra_> doko, the debian/rules file has an uption to pass "nocheck", will anone kill me if i just disable the tests on arm for now ?
[12:42] <ogra_> *option

[12:43] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 607665 in libaio "Invalid test case on ARM" [Medium,Confirmed]
[12:43] <ogra_> doko, well, that doesnt kill the build
[12:44] <ogra_> (here)
[12:44] <doko> ogra_, with a precise kernel?
[12:44] <ogra_> 3.2.0
[12:45] <ogra_> we dont have any recent kernel for mx6
[12:45] <ogra_> (or better: more recent)
[12:45] <ogra_> thats all quantal
[12:46] <doko> ok
[12:46] <ogra_> the failed tests doesnt stop the build for me
[12:47] <ogra_> and in fact that bit scrolls really fast ... it takes like 10 min for the tests before and after
[12:47] <ogra_> and i think thats where the buildd is falling over ...
[12:49] <bizulk> I added to the tidspbridge bug the config file, and particular option in comments
[12:50] <ogra_> great, thanks :)
[13:02] <bizulk> I bug is now in triaged state and used the apport-collect tool. Nothing more is needed from me for now ?
[13:03] <ogra_> yeah, should be fine
[13:32] <janimo> doko, libaio seems to build for me on ac100/quantal
[13:32] <janimo> no build logs from the crashing machines?
[13:32] <ogra_> janimo, apparently not
[13:32] <janimo> I wonder if it's a kernel issue
[13:32] <doko> no. I could give it back, and you could poll the build log while the build is running ...
[13:32] <ogra_> just waiting for my quantal panda to finish
[13:33] <ogra_> looks pretty good yet
[13:33] <janimo> although I am suspecting something weird. my build took a few imnutes
[13:33] <janimo> whereas LP shows 8 hours for previous builds
[13:33] <ogra_> janimo, the build or the tests ?
[13:33] <janimo> debuild -us uc
[13:33] <janimo> -uc
[13:33] <ogra_> my build (even on a panda with a really slow USB key) is done in under a minute
[13:34] <ogra_> oh, i just use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
[13:34] <ogra_> in the souorce tree
[13:34] <ogra_> the tests take between 10 and 30min though
[13:34] <janimo> I wonder why this is 8 hours then? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libaio/0.3.109-2ubuntu1/+build/2964075
[13:35] <janimo> maybe some tests fail early and do not proceed here
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
[13:35] <ogra_> might be
[13:36] <ogra_> in any case failing tests dont seem to stop the build anyway
[13:36] <ogra_> even the precise log has the failures
[13:36] <janimo> indeed
[13:36] <ogra_> so i bet we could as well disable them :)
[13:37] <ogra_> dh_testdir
[13:37] <ogra_> /usr/bin/make
[13:37] <ogra_> /bin/sh: 1: git: not found
[13:37] <ogra_> /bin/sh: 1: lsdiff: not found
[13:37] <ogra_> make[1]: git: Command not found
[13:37] <ogra_> heh
[13:37] <janimo> on LP/armhf I think the timeout of 8 hours or something similar kicked in. Or just some obscure bug. The build+tests are short
[13:37] <janimo> ogra_, yes, it just checks whether it's in a git repo
[13:37] <ogra_> seems that log doesnt care at all if *anything* fails
[13:37] <janimo> can be ignored, it took just as little time with git installed
[13:37] <ogra_> k
[13:38] <janimo> so maybe a lucid kernel or whatver the builders have is the issue
[13:38] <ogra_> precise
[13:38] <ogra_> but yeah, very likely
[13:40] <ogra_> the precise panda kernel wasnt particulary great
[13:40] <ogra_> (dieing on idle etc)
[13:41] <ogra_> wow, that 14.p test takes a century
[13:50]  * ppisati goes out to run an errand, brb
[13:50] <ogra_> hmm, whatever that test does, it hits the disk realyl hard it seems
[13:51] <ogra_> was probably not a good idea ro try that build on my slowest USB key
[13:51] <ogra_> *to
[14:01] <ogra_> heh, so my panda has a load of 5 and the test eats up all memory
[14:02] <ogra_> i can imagine that might fail with anot 100% correct kernel
[14:02] <ogra_> *a not
[14:13] <ogra_> doko, libaio just finished on my quantal panda (fresh desktop install from wed.)
[14:14] <ogra_> so i would say its clearly the buildd kernel
[14:14] <doko> please leave a comment in the bug report
[14:14] <ogra_> will do
[14:18] <ogra_> done and buildlog attached for that one as well
[14:18] <bizulk> I have installed the xorg omapfb driver but Xorg doesn't seem to use it : sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-omap3
[14:18] <ogra_> you might need an oxrg.conf, not sure
[14:19] <ogra_> that package comes from debian as is
[14:19] <bizulk> xvinfo --display :0.0: still returns 'no adaptors present
[14:20] <bizulk> Where shalll be this file ? I don't remember
[14:20] <ogra_> in /etc/X11
[14:21] <ogra_> ubuntu doesnt use that file anymore by default so you might need to create it
[14:21] <bizulk> ogra_: I'll check it
[14:21] <ogra_> probably the package ships an example
[14:22] <bizulk> no it has not :(
[14:25] <bizulk> well the wiki presume that the driver is automatically loaded but I could not figure how without a Xorg.conf file
[14:25] <ogra_> check the log :)
[14:26] <bizulk> I did
[14:29] <ogra_> well, all i know about this package is that it has been removed in 12.10
[14:35] <bizulk> why ? does it mean that the Xorg video driver is not anymore part of it ?
[14:36] <ogra_> it is a hacked up xfbdev driver nobody maintains afaik
[14:36] <ogra_> and isnt compatible to abi 13 anymore
[14:39] <bizulk> Does Angstrom not use it (or won't) neither.
[14:39] <ogra_> no idea
[14:39] <ogra_> we dont do much with oma3 here anymore
[14:39] <ogra_> *omap3
[14:40] <ogra_> but once angstrom updates to the current xorg abi they will likely have to port it if they use it
[14:41] <janimo> ogra_, although interestingly it builds on ac100 quantal which has a 3.1 kernel
[14:42] <janimo> panda precise is 3.2 right?
[14:42] <ogra_> janimo, well, the precise panda kernel has issues
[14:42] <ogra_> we know it dies idling on some boards for example
[14:42] <janimo> are there any non-panda builders left?
[14:42] <ogra_> nope
[14:42] <janimo> where are the slow crappy boards when you need them???
[14:42] <ogra_> but i would just propose to backport the quantal kernel and be done
[14:43] <ogra_> you could try on the porter box, i think that still runs a natty kernel
[14:43] <janimo> ogra_, if you install the precise kernel in quantal it should fail if that is the cause right?
[14:44] <janimo> I think the porter box has long been dead
[14:44] <ogra_> yep
[14:44] <ogra_> no, i heard its back
[14:44] <janimo> at least I could not connect to scheat for a long time, so gave up
[14:44] <ogra_> scheat
[14:44] <janimo> ok, did not check in the past two months I guess
[14:45] <ogra_> i didnt check at all, Daviey claimed its back on #ubuntu-devel
[14:45] <ogra_> and i trust Daviey blindly :)
[14:54] <bizulk> aie : it seems that Xorg didn't like my conf

[16:06] <bizulk> hi ! boot.scr is a binary file ?
[16:07] <bizulk> how do we edit that stuff ?
[16:09] <bizulk> okay it's in the host with mkimage
[16:09] <lilstevie> bizulk, you don't edit the boot.scr directly, you edit the boot.cmd and then make it into a boot.scr with mkimage
[16:09] <GrueMaster> It is actually a text file with a 72 byte crc blob.
[16:10] <GrueMaster> You can strip the first 72 bytes, then edit it as a text file (boot.script).  TO recreate the CRC (needed by u-boot), use "mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -d boot.script boot.scr".
[16:11] <GrueMaster> (I used to have this documented on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM but it has since been either deleted or moved by others.
[16:13] <bizulk> there is not other way to put off the splash screen ? well okay
[16:15] <GrueMaster> Sadly, not easily.  You could interrupt uboot via serial console, but that is a pain.
[16:18] <lilstevie> bizulk, the process may sound hard/scary but it is pretty straight forward
[16:18] <lilstevie> (modifying the boot.scr)
[16:20] <bizulk> lilstevie: first of all, new for me :) (but it was just for having debug message on screen/serial as the xorg omapfb bug the boot process)
[16:20] <GrueMaster> The easiest way to strip the file for editing is with "dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=72 skip=1".  Then you can edit it and use the above mkimage command to re-bless it.
[16:20] <bizulk> GrueMaster: how do you strip the bytes ? dd ?
[16:21] <lilstevie> bizulk, GrueMaster gave you the command there :)
[16:21] <GrueMaster> Yes.  YOu can also do it with a text editor, but it isn't as clean.
[16:21]  * GrueMaster notices shift key is sticking again and grumbles profusely.
[16:24] <bizulk> ho ! sorry I did not see the cmd just below
[16:25] <bizulk> I see that uEnv.txt is still supported
[16:30] <bizulk> I have strip off quiet and splash, but I've just got a black screen with a penguin :d
[16:34] <bizulk> the xorg omapfb driver seems to be loaded but I do think I have to pass more option to activate DVUI output
[16:35] <GrueMaster> If you want earlier kernel messages and boot messages to go to the serial console, add "earlyprintk=ttyO2,115200 console=ttyO2,115200 console=tty1"
[16:35] <bizulk> ho yessss
[16:35] <bizulk> I did put the console in bootargs without results
[16:59] <bizulk> is "xf86-video-omapfb" an alternative to omapfb ?
[17:14] <marvin24> janimo: I'm trying to compile your kernel - do you know how to enable ccache in kernel builds?
[17:14] <janimo> marvin24, cross compiling?
[17:15] <marvin24> yes
[17:15] <marvin24> there must be some magic string added to debuild
[17:15] <janimo> ah, I do not use that. Ijust have /usr/lib/ccache/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -> ../../bin/ccache as symlink
[17:16] <janimo> so it is systemwide not specific to kernel builds
[17:16] <janimo> and I never checked that it actually works :) The builds seem fast though
[17:17] <marvin24> yes, the problem is it doesn't
[17:17] <marvin24> but the man page says use --prepend-path
[17:17] <marvin24> lets try it
[17:19] <marvin24> no luck :-(
[17:19] <janimo> no luck as in nothing is put in ~/.ccache?
[17:19]  * janimo checks
[17:21] <marvin24> yes
[17:21] <marvin24> neither symlink nor --prepend-path works
[23:35] <xnox> installing armhf
[23:36] <xnox> had to do a tty1->tty7 dance to view X
[23:36] <xnox> maybe i was impatient for ubiquity to come up though.
