| 07:45 | Coburn | [09:40:56] [06:25:36] the only thing that prevents me from installing it is the root= parameter |
| 07:45 | Coburn | If you are booting from the uSD then root is |
| 07:45 | Coburn | root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 |
| 07:45 | Coburn | if booting from usb |
| 07:45 | Coburn | root=/dev/sda1 |
| 07:45 | Coburn | etc. |
| 09:55 | rjc | Coburn|Away: I am not booting fo uSD, I'm booting of tftp |
| 09:56 | rjc | that's the whole point |
| 09:56 | rjc | what I'm after is |
| 09:56 | rjc | boot kernel and Debian initrd from tftp |
| 09:56 | rjc | and install it on a blank uSD, USB or eSATA |
| 09:57 | rjc | most likely the first one |
| 09:57 | rjc | and the uSD is blank |
| 09:57 | rjc | and I don't have a card reader to format it, nor do I want to |
| 09:57 | rjc | that's installer's job |
| 09:58 | rjc | I hope that's a bit clearer now :^ |
| 09:58 | rjc | :^) |
| 10:29 | wumpus | punkt: sorry for the late reply, have only just been able to test it: that escape sequence to disable blanking worked, thanks! |
| 10:30 | wumpus | and the page also helped stop the cursor from annoyingly blinking through my rendering |
| 10:32 | punkt | wumpus: perfect! |
| 11:14 | wumpus | you can now use etna_viv to do full screen 3d rendering on the cubox, although you currently have to use a gallium-like api, instead of egl |
| 12:55 | dv505 | rjc, for you message from yesterday for the debian netboot install. Can you still not download the kernel from dropbox? |
| 12:55 | dv505 | it's coming from my dropbox, but I can download it (even when not signed in) |
| 12:59 | dv505 | updated the link to a server (no longer dropbox), should now work for everyone I guess |
| 13:00 | wumpus | hmm when I have my cubox connected to hdmi, then turn off and on the tv, the signal is gone and nothing except rebooting brings it back |
| 13:02 | wumpus | this happens in X as well as fb mode (running xubuntu from the cubox installer) |
| 13:04 | wumpus | rabeeh: hmm when I have my cubox connected to hdmi, then turn off and on the tv, the signal is gone and nothing except rebooting brings it back |
| 13:04 | wumpus | known problem? |
| 13:04 | wumpus | a lot of 'hdmicec' in the dmesg |
| 13:29 | wumpus | ok this is pretty crazy, simply pulling the hdmi connector and reinserting works fine, but after turning the tv off/on the hdmi goes into an seeming unrecoverable state |
| 13:30 | wumpus | maybe something with CEC_OPCODE_STANDBY |
| 16:14 | rjc | dv505: works! |
| 16:14 | rjc | dv505: thanks a lot! |
| 16:15 | rjc | I've been bangin my head against a brick wall but now more :^) |
| 16:16 | dv505 | you're welcome. strange that the original link did not work |
| 16:17 | rjc | I think it might have been the "+" in the filename but not 100% sure |
| 16:17 | rjc | thanks again |
| 16:21 | rjc | the problem was that I had used another kernel |
| 16:21 | rjc | thinking it was a install kernel |
| 16:21 | rjc | ;) |
| 16:21 | rjc | sorry for the noise |
| 16:24 | dv505 | but most kernels should work, as long as some basics are compiled in the kernel (not as loadable modules) |
| 16:25 | dv505 | after install, you would be able to swap it for another kernel |
| 16:25 | dv505 | should be compatible |
| 16:27 | rjc | dv505: I think the problem there was the fact that every time it asked for "root=" |
| 20:28 | Thirsty | shesselba_away: I was brouwsing in the list of patches for the v3.8/ branch. |
| 20:30 | Thirsty | your IR patch http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/16508/ seems to work. I can use it with ir-keytable. |
| 20:32 | Thirsty | I also tried Regulator patch. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1913791/. But I get the error: USB Power: Failed to request enable GPIO1: -517 |
| 20:51 | dv_ | the vivante gc600 files (libEGL etc.) are available in multiple packages. I remember two big ones, and one small one from a dropbox account. all of these contain the necessary files. |
| 20:51 | dv_ | which source for the gc600 binaries do you recommend? |
| 20:54 | dv_ | ah, yes. here: http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox/packages/marvell-opengl/ what are the differences between, light and profile? and how stable is this download location? do you expect it to remain there for a long time, or is it a temporary directory? |
| 20:56 | dv_ | oh .. profile as in profiling, not like "a profile". |
