IRC log of #cubox of Wed 30 Jan 2013. All times are in CET < Back to index

23:59 dbsx you are working on git://github.com/rabeeh/u-boot?
00:00 dbsx or denx
00:00 shesselba denx
00:00 shesselba http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/213023/
00:04 dbsx ok, will do. When do you think that patch will be in?
00:06 dbsx shesselba: and one last dumb question, is macaddr part of the FDT?
00:07 shesselba well, there is a standard property of ethernet controllers that allows to pass the mac address (local-mac-address)
00:08 dbsx ok
00:08 shesselba currently, mv643xx_eth (linux ethernet driver for dove/cubox) doesn't make use of it but will within linux 3.9
00:09 dbsx shesselba: thanks, I appreciate the guidance
01:25 cbxbiker61 i've just added my third hdhomerun, so now i have 6 tuners in my pool
03:45 Coburn I guess I should boot up my cubox, problem is that I'm out of sockets
03:45 Coburn I have one that goes to my 12 port powerboard
03:45 Coburn and the other is running my ODROID-U2 at the moment
03:46 Coburn Can't use a double adapter because workplace H&S says "it could overheat and melt, causing fire"
03:46 Coburn (which imo is a load of crock
03:47 Coburn purch: next to install deluge and if cubox runs out of RAM then it is time to order that 2GB version :)
03:47 Coburn Pfft, I use transmission
03:48 Coburn Been runnning happily on my mac mini with 1GB RAM (and that's headless with Debian Wheezy). Although it's PowerPC
03:48 Coburn I've run Sheevas with transmission (they had 512MB RAM) and they coped fine.
03:48 Coburn a little slow hashing files but still good nonetheless
03:50 Coburn dbsx: if you have a uboot you want me to test, I'm all ears
06:52 dbsx at http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1093#p6086 we have 0x20ba16 ajayr patch at http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1109#p6221 has 0xba16 does anyone know why the difference?
06:55 purch Coburn: I need rss plugin
10:36 NotRelevant http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/01/29/232214/xbmc-120-frodo-released-pvr-support-hd-audio-and-more
13:57 dung i'm afraid. is it such a big step to directly startx? the distributions boot scripts are skiped.
13:59 dung distributions can provide a install script on the desktop
14:02 dung it's like a livecd
14:10 dung first i thought i have to compile the installer
14:13 dung until i and i remembered
14:15 dung i should have choosen better nick
19:44 purch any comments on http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1124 are appreciated
21:35 shesselba purch: if you already modify .config and want to run headless, why don't you just remove gpu and vmeta drivers?
21:38 purch audio card is not found if I remove vmeta and gpu
21:38 purch so I tested with those settings
21:43 shesselba purch: ok, but I am sure that there is some other reason why kirkwood_i2s isn't found anymore. I did some mainline tests and there vmeta, gpu or even dovefb don't even exist.
21:43 shesselba but audio over spdif just plays fine
21:50 christianjwaite0 hey is anyone around to give me some quick advice about cubox and ubuntu core?
21:51 purch christianjwaite0: ask
21:51 christianjwaite0 cheers
21:52 christianjwaite0 I was previously running archlinux but had some problems (kicked me out of root), then on re-install it went to some new weird startup scripts I couldn't get used to
21:52 christianjwaite0 So I'm going to ubuntu
21:52 christianjwaite0 Just need SSH and aptget
21:52 xenoxaos systemd is easy
21:52 christianjwaite0 with ubuntu core installed, do I need to install the kernel on top etc?
21:53 purch core has kernel and some packages
21:53 christianjwaite0 I just couldn't work out systemd and with a lot of apps I was installing not supporting archlinux or arm it was getting hard work
21:53 christianjwaite0 Ok so on install of cubox (on tv with cubox installer 2), what do I have to do to get to a point where I can just ssh into it?
21:54 purch christianjwaite0: look at this http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1124
21:57 christianjwaite0 thanks purch
21:57 purch christianjwaite0: also depends what you are going to do
21:57 christianjwaite0 looks like I'm missing u-boot possibly...
21:57 christianjwaite0 Headless server
21:57 purch hat is kind of for you then
21:57 purch that
21:57 christianjwaite0 apache, sql,
21:57 christianjwaite0 yeah looks like it
21:58 christianjwaite0 don't need the audio but should get me going
21:58 christianjwaite0 think my problem is the missing u-boot.bin
21:58 purch that was mine too for a day
21:58 christianjwaite0 as I can launch the cubox with the installer, but after the installer I don't get anything on reboot
21:58 christianjwaite0 haha, ok, yeah I think that's what i'm missing
21:59 christianjwaite0 usually I've only got a 30 minute window to play with this, so I'll wait for the mrs to go to bed soon and have a go
21:59 christianjwaite0 thanks purch
21:59 christianjwaite0 you've saved me a lot of headaches
21:59 purch your welcome
22:03 christianjwaite0 thanks again, I'm off to rush her to bed so I can play ;)
22:03 christianjwaite0 seeya
22:19 purch shesselba: diff of the boot logs of two cubox_defconfig kernels. Left log w/o vmeta and GPU. http://aman.dy.fi/dump/Report.html
22:24 purch I have no idea howto test why the audio card failed to register
22:25 purch well sleep time now, later
22:48 shesselba purch: try to apply https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1160511/ .. I cannot tell if it will fix the issue but there is a race condition.. the patch has been integrated in more recent kernels
