| [16:26] <prpplague> ogra_: yea, package updates have fixed my desktop issues! | |
| [16:26] <ogra_> awesome ! | |
| [16:27] <prpplague> ogra_: actually have to reload my box at home, i fudged up and hosed the permissions for /usr | |
| [16:27] <ogra_> ouch ! | |
| [16:37] <danboid> Looks like I need to recompile my panda kernel just to get ALSA sequencer support so what kernel version would you guys recommend and why? | |
| [16:37] <ogra_> the one your release has already | |
| [16:38] <GrueMaster> danboid: What issues are you seeing? Precise Beta 1 works for both Panda/Panda ES ootb. | |
| [16:38] <ogra_> danboid, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | |
| [16:39] <ogra_> just use the source package | |
| [16:39] <danboid> GrueMaster, None of the current Linaro or Canonical omap4 kernels have ALSA sequencer support compiled in or as a module | |
| [16:39] <GrueMaster> (which I just discovered is broken in the daily images...again.) | |
| [16:40] <ogra_> right, who needs MIDI anyway :P | |
| [16:40] <ogra_> as long as your mp3's play | |
| [16:40] <ogra_> danboid, thats seriously worth filing a bug though | |
| [16:41] <danboid> As I've said before, Panda could be quite attractive to Linux musicians due to its silent aspect (if you use a SSD ) | |
| [16:41] <ogra_> yeah, agreed, i was rather sarcastic above, not serious | |
| [16:41] <danboid> I'm hoping to use if for music production anyway | |
| [16:42] <ogra_> so a) file a bug, b) follow the wiki t recompile the kernel package with a config change | |
| [16:42] <danboid> ogra_, jk- said this has been fixed already | |
| [16:42] <ogra_> in the ubuntu package ? | |
| [16:42] <ogra_> ppisati, ^^^ did you enable alsa sequencer support in the config ? | |
| [16:42] <danboid> ogra_, I presume so but he's not been around today to give more info | |
| [16:42] * ogra_ doesnt think so | |
| [16:44] <danboid> If I want the pvr driver working am I best recompiling the standard kernel rather than going for the latest stable code? | |
| [16:45] <ppisati> i'm here | |
| [16:46] <danboid> ppisati, I was told the latest omap4 kernel configs have ALSA sequencer support enabled now? | |
| [16:47] <danboid> ppisati, If so, can I get a package anywhere of such a kernel yet? | |
| [16:50] <GrueMaster> danboid: I see CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m in the current precise kernel. | |
| [16:50] <GrueMaster> And CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=M as well. | |
| [16:50] <ppisati> sorry, was in a phone call | |
| [16:51] <danboid> GrueMaster, That'd do me but I expect I can't install a precise kernel under oneiric can I? | |
| [16:51] <GrueMaster> So you should be able to get the kernel either from a daily image or from http://ports.ubuntu.com. ppisati can point you to the git tree if you really want to go deep. | |
| [16:51] <ppisati> danboid: yes you can | |
| [16:51] <GrueMaster> Why not? | |
| [16:51] <danboid> Hasn't armel been killed off in precise? | |
| [16:52] <GrueMaster> Just use the armel kernel variant (so as not to confuse dpkg). | |
| [16:52] <GrueMaster> Only the image builds. | |
| [16:52] <GrueMaster> Pool is still active, and I also regularly do netboot installs on my pandas for sanity checking. | |
| [16:52] <ogra_> we dont build armel images and we dont massively care for armel pacvkages either | |
| [16:53] <ogra_> the archive is still existing and wont go away | |
| [16:54] <danboid> ppisati, I can get a package for 11.10 armel with the snd-seq compiled as a module? | |
| [16:54] <ppisati> danboid: get the P kernel | |
| [16:54] <danboid> ppisati, ? Link? | |
| [16:55] <danboid> ppisati, please! | |
| [16:57] <ppisati> danboid: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux-meta-ti-omap4/linux-image-omap4_3.2.0.1408.8_armel.deb | |
| [16:57] <danboid> ppisati, Thanks v. much! Will be trying that tonight! :) | |
| [17:04] <danboid> Thanks for your help guys! | |
| [17:21] <prp_> does anyone know how to install minicom on pandaboard. I tried sudo apt-get install minicom but it says E: unable to locate package minicom. I enabled all software sources and restarted but it still doesnt work | |
| [17:24] <GrueMaster> prp_: It should be there. | |
| [17:24] <GrueMaster> ubuntu@panda3:~$ apt-cache search minicom | |
| [17:24] <GrueMaster> cutecom - Graphical serial terminal, like minicom | |
| [17:24] <GrueMaster> minicom - friendly menu driven serial communication program | |
| [17:25] <prp_> thats exactly what i see | |
| [17:25] <GrueMaster> ubuntu@panda4:~$ apt-cache madison minicom | |
| [17:25] <GrueMaster> minicom | 2.5-2 | http://mirror.gruenet/ubuntu-ports/ precise/universe armhf Packages | |
| [17:25] <GrueMaster> minicom | 2.5-2 | http://mirror.gruenet/ubuntu-ports/ precise/universe Sources | |
| [17:26] <GrueMaster> Heh, local mirror, but should be identical to ports.u.c | |
| [17:27] <prp_> i opened ubuntu software manager and tried to install 7zip and it gave a button to use universe source. i clicked it, now minicom works as well | |
| [17:32] <GrueMaster> Note to self, don't run minicom in a remote screen session. Key bindings are the same. | |
| [17:47] <steev_> GrueMaster: i normally use screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200, it gets confusing when i go a few screen sessions deep | |
| [17:47] <GrueMaster> steev_: I was only testing minicom on panda to verify it ran. | |
| [17:47] <steev_> ahh | |
| [17:48] <GrueMaster> I use screen for all my serial consols. | |
| [17:48] <steev_> i find it easier to use | |
| [17:48] <steev_> my buddy keeps trying to get me to switch to socat | |
| [17:50] <GrueMaster> I'm actually going to look for some kind of serial console app that can multiplex. I need to have screen running, but I also want some script to be able to interact with netboot installs when needed. | |
| [17:51] <GrueMaster> Not sure if I can just attach to the screen session in python. | |

| [21:49] <xteejx_> Hi guys, anyone here that can answer 1 or 2 quick questions about Ubuntu for arm please? | |
| [21:50] <xteejx_> The wiki states Ubutnu arm is for v7+, but I have an arm11 (v6). Is there no way I can get it on there? | |
| [21:51] <GrueMaster> xteejx_: Sadly, no. But Debian is very similar and will support your hardware. | |
| [21:51] <xteejx_> GrueMaster, Damn :( | |
| [21:52] <xteejx_> I'll have a google around for debian related stuff then, thanks anyway for the pointer :) | |
| [21:52] <GrueMaster> Good luck. | |
| [21:53] <xteejx_> lol thank you :) | |
| [22:53] <Riddell> on what mailing list can I ask arm issues? | |
| [22:54] <pbuckley> heh | |
| [22:54] <pbuckley> i wonder how many raspberry pi people we will see in the upcoming weeks asking why ubuntu doesnt boot | |
| [22:55] <lilstevie> pbuckley, heaps no doubt :p | |
| [22:56] <pbuckley> btw anyone know of a good eq (per frequency adjustments)? | |
| [22:56] <pbuckley> thats system wide | |
| [22:56] <pbuckley> alsamixer seems to have some built in filters | |
| [22:56] <pbuckley> but couldnt figure out how to change em | |
| [22:58] <GrueMaster> Riddell: What arm issues? What platform? There are quite a few choices. | |
| [22:58] <Riddell> GrueMaster: the one where my pandaboard doesn't boot with a precise install | |
| [23:00] <pbuckley> using the right image? | |
| [23:02] <GrueMaster> Riddell: First, I would recommend going through the troubleshooting section at http://pandaboard.org/content/resources/troubleshooting to make sure your system works and your environment is set up correctly. | |
| [23:03] <GrueMaster> If everything goes well there, we can work to figure out why Ubuntu isn't working on your pandaboard. | |
| [23:03] <Riddell> it works fine | |
| [23:03] <Riddell> it does not work with precise | |
| [23:04] <GrueMaster> What exactly doesn't work with Precise? (note that I frequently test the daily precise images). | |
| [23:05] <Riddell> the same thing as last time we looked at it http://starsky.19inch.net/~jr/tmp/precice-arm-boot.txt | |
| [23:05] <pbuckley> im running two pandaboards with precise | |
| [23:05] <pbuckley> that looks like a bad sd card at first glance | |
| [23:05] <Riddell> works fine with oneiric | |
| [23:06] <pbuckley> well something is wrong with your setup | |
| [23:06] <pbuckley> i assure you | |
| [23:06] <pbuckley> sorry | |
| [23:06] <pbuckley> bad day | |
| [23:06] <pbuckley> ill be back later | |
| [23:06] <GrueMaster> Which image is this? | |
| [23:07] <GrueMaster> I'm not seeing this on today's daily image. | |
| [23:08] <Riddell> armhf omap4 daily build from today for ubuntu-desktop, armhf omap4 daily build for when we last tested it, armel precise image from alpha 1 | |
| [23:08] <Riddell> I know you're not. you weren't when we tested it the other day either. | |
| [23:09] <GrueMaster> Hmm. It is possible you have a defective board, but I can't verify that. | |
| [23:09] <Riddell> got a copy of the validation image? | |
| [23:09] <GrueMaster> This is on first boot? | |
| [23:10] <Riddell> yes, also on boot after upgrade from oneiric | |
| [23:10] <GrueMaster> Not on me. It is at http://pandaboard.org/content/resources/troubleshooting | |
| [23:10] <Riddell> that link doesn't work | |
| [23:11] <GrueMaster> Try http://pandaboard.org. Click on RESOURCES. | |
| [23:11] <GrueMaster> Or is it the gforge.ti link that is broken? | |
| [23:12] <Riddell> yes | |
| [23:16] <GrueMaster> Let's try in #pandaboard. | |
| [23:22] <GrueMaster> Riddell: Well, that would explain the broken link. | |
| [23:22] <Riddell> mm hmm | |
| [23:23] <GrueMaster> So, do you have a more recent copy of the daily builds, or at least Beta 1? | |
| [23:30] <GrueMaster> Also, can you download and try the ubuntu-server daily as well? I doubt it will change anything, but it would be useful to test. | |
| [23:40] * Riddell snoozes | |
