[00:10] <spayno> Is there a free place where I can put arm ppas (ie like launchpad, but for armhf and arm64)?

[09:26] <ppisati> ogra_: do you know what's the exact sequence of switches to use with live-build/livecd-rootfs to generate an omap ubuntu-server image in S? T is broken so i'm first trying to get it right in S
[09:27] <ppisati> what i want to recreate is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/saucy/release/ubuntu-13.10-server-armhf+omap.img
[09:27] <ppisati> in that exact format dd-able to an sd
[09:29] <ppisati> tinkering with your rootstock-ng i was able to get to a -rootfs.tar.gz, but for example the bootloader, the entire fat boot partition&c where missing (obviously since i got a -rootfs.tar.gz...)
[09:30] <ogra_> nothing of that is done by livecd-rootfs ... you would need a cdimage like wrapper script that does the additional steps
[09:30] <ppisati> ah, so the img creation is livecd-rootfs + $something else
[09:31] <ogra_> livecd-rootfs/live-build only build tarballs or squashfses etc ... turning that into an iso or img and making it bootable is done by cdimage afterwards
[09:31] <ppisati> ok
[09:31] <ogra_> bzr checkout lp:ubuntu-cdimage cdimage
[09:32] <ogra_> you might also need the debian-cd branch from launchpad (i dont remember exactly)
[09:39] <ppisati> ogra_: ok, let me see if i can figure it out

[10:44] <loki__> Hi Wanted to know where do i get ubuntu trusty arm kernel and initrd for booting it up from qemu
[10:53] <ppisati> loki__: linux-image armhf
[10:55] <loki___> ppisati armhf is 32 or 64 bit
[10:55] <loki___> ?
[10:55] <ppisati> 32
[10:56] <loki___> how do i emulate ubuntu trusty arm in qemu-kvm
[10:57] <loki___> ppisati ^
[10:57] <ppisati> ???
[10:57] <ppisati> qemu-debootstrap --arch armhf
[10:57] <ppisati> or something like that
[10:57] <ppisati> and then you chroot inside
[10:58] <loki___> ppisati Can u plz provide any link or wiki for this
[11:00] <ppisati> loki___: qemu-debootstrap --arch armhf trusty http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports
[11:04] <loki___> ppisati /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 384: cd: can't cd to http://ports.ubuntu.com error i get if i run it
[11:07] <ogra_> you want "trusty trusty-chroot http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports" or some such
[11:11] <loki___> ogra_ i m running debian arm using qemu-system-kvm providing initrd.gz and kernel for debian similiarly i would need kernel and initrd files for ubuntu14.04
[11:12] * ogra_ hasnt used qemu-system for years ... no idea what the exact kernel would be
[11:12] <ogra_> (or if we even have one)
[11:13] <ogra_> there ppisati is the better person to answer :)
[15:08] <blaaa> My current (x86) server has broken down and I'll need a temporary fix to keep email and *DAV going for a few weeks, so I thought about getting my BeagleBone Black to take care of that. Is ubuntu arm suitable for a server?
