[08:46] <janrinze> lilstevie: you still here?
[09:46] <lilstevie> janimo: not really
[10:02] <janrinze> lilstevie: lookslike there is no SYS V IPC in your kernel
[10:03] <janrinze> lilstevie: rebuilt a kernel but it does not boot. will retry with the defconfig from your sources
[10:05] <lilstevie> janrinze: yeah, sysvipc is missing from the released kernel
[10:05] <lilstevie> but the kernel on git has it
[10:06] <janrinze> lilstevie: apparently that is causing the XShm to fail..
[10:06] <lilstevie> also, use the android ndk toolchain to build the kernel
[10:06] <lilstevie> tegra is really really dodgy
[10:06] <lilstevie> and breaks easy
[10:06] <lilstevie> :p
[10:06] <janrinze> huh android ndk toolchain? why?
[10:07] <lilstevie> because that is what works without errors
[10:07] <janrinze> does gcc from Ubuntu not build working kernels?
[10:07] <lilstevie> and what asus use
[10:07] <lilstevie> gcc from ubuntu "works"
[10:07] <lilstevie> I was using it
[10:07] <lilstevie> but it causes more problems than its worth
[10:07] <janrinze> what kind of problems?
[10:08] <lilstevie> compile errors galore
[10:08] <janrinze> ah during module build, right?
[10:08] <lilstevie> and in some cases non booting kernels
[10:08] <lilstevie> not only during module builds
[10:09] <janrinze> hmm.. that would be a serious issue.. does that mean Tegra is not fully ARM compatible?
[10:09] <janrinze> or does it mean Tegra has bugs that need work-arounds?
[10:10] <lilstevie> no, just that it is fragile
[10:11] <janrinze> hmm.. weird. I have not had that problem with any other ARM platform before.
[10:12] <lilstevie> I have had it on hummingbird
[10:12] <janrinze> hummingbird, Samsung?
[10:12] <lilstevie> yes
[10:12] <janrinze> same as Exynos?
[10:13] <lilstevie> it is older
[10:13] <lilstevie> they call them exynos now
[10:13] <janrinze> oh, ok because the Exynos (dual core A9) works fine here too..
[10:14] <lilstevie> but the cpu that powers the original galaxy tab, and the galaxy s i9000
[10:14] <lilstevie> these are single core A8s
[10:15] <janrinze> hmm.. rebuilt a kernel but that one does not boot either..
[10:16] <janrinze> lilstevie: tf101-gnu-linux-defconfig is what i have used.. is that correct?
[10:17] <janrinze> lilstevie: i built the kernel natively on the TF101.
[10:18] <lilstevie> yeah probably an error there
[10:19] <janrinze> most likely. But how do you 'see' the console output or the boot log ?
[10:19] <lilstevie> if you haven't seen it there isn't any
[10:20] <janrinze> :-(
[10:20] <janrinze> so no way to figure out what goes wrong?
[10:20] <lilstevie> you could enable the android ramconsole driver
[10:20] <lilstevie> with that enabled it will be at /proc/last_kmsg
[10:21] <janrinze> hmm..
[10:21] <janrinze> serial console over USB would be a lot more sensible ;-)
[10:24] <janrinze> lilstevie: do you use the latest version of your git repo? the initrd in the OLiFE download may be to blame..
[10:30] <janrinze> lilstevie: weird.. the original kernel won't boot either anymore now.
[10:36] <lilstevie> janrinze: if you want serial console, ask asus for the pinout, I asked and got no response
[10:36] <lilstevie> also are you flashing it with nvflash or blobs
[10:36] <janrinze> I use OLiFE.. so i think nvflash
[10:37] <lilstevie> to primary or recovery boot
[10:37] <janrinze> recovery i guess, the primary is Android
[10:38] <lilstevie> k
[10:38] <lilstevie> IDK then
[10:38] <lilstevie> should be working
[10:40] <janrinze> i saw something about 'wiping' the disk.. perhaps i need to reinstall everything..
[10:45] <lilstevie> :/
[10:46] <janrinze> ok.. my bad, still was copying my own kernel to the device :/
[10:47] <janrinze> linux has booted again..
[10:49] <janrinze> lilstevie: can you send me a working .config for your git kernel?
[13:23] <janrinze> lilstevie: apparently self-built kernels won't boot.. how do i get a kernel with SYS V IPC enabled?
[13:45] <janrinze> lilstevie: the compiler supplied with the Android-NDK is not able to compile your kernel. many errors like "arch/arm/mach-tegra/suspend-t2.c:75: error: pllx causes a section type conflict" and more conflicts
[13:47] <marvin24_DT> must be an ancient kernel ...
[13:47] <marvin24_DT> 3.1 already?
[13:47] <marvin24_DT> (sorry, just jumped in)
=== scientes_ is now known as scientes
[22:54] <janrinze2> lilstevie: i managed to build a working kernel :-)
[22:55] <janrinze2> unfortunately the file browser in unity does not allow to add custom file handlers to be configured
[22:56] <janrinze2> looks like 12.04 is a neutered version of Ubuntu
[22:58] <janrinze2> i had better get Debian running on this device.. Ubuntu has become a toy OS.. unity seems to be built for noobs that need to be kept away from configuring anything at all...
[23:02] <micahg> umm, isn't that nautilus?
[23:07] <janrinze2> nautilus on Debian is easy to reconfigure, on 12.04 however it seems to be stripped of all configuration possibilities
[23:08] <janrinze2> actually most stuff in unity seems to work counter intuitive
[23:08] <micahg> I would think that's more upstream decisions, are you trying the version in unstable or stable?
[23:08] <janrinze2> it probably is just me but i feel extremely restricted by unity
[23:09] <janrinze2> i use 12.04..
[23:10] <janrinze2> i have a program that is a raw file viewer. it needs to be associated to dng, pef, nef etc..
[23:10] <janrinze2> apparently there is no way to do that in ubuntu 12.04
[23:11] <janrinze2> micahg: do you know a work-around?
[23:13] <micahg> if you haven't tried Debian unstable or testing recently, I'm saying that it might have been upstream GNOME that restricted it, as for associating, does a ~/.mailcap file help?
[23:13] <micahg> #ubuntu might be able to help further
[23:15] <janrinze2> hmm.. the irc client just crashed
=== panda is now known as Guest90701
[23:51] <mythos> today comes my pandaboard \o/
[23:51] <mythos> hmm... *will be delivered
[23:51] <mythos> so ^^"
[23:53] <janrinze2> at #ubuntu there is no help for changing file associations
[23:53] <janrinze2> quite frustrating
[23:55] <mythos> janrinze2, so you say, there is no way to define to use e.g. mplayer for avis?
[23:56] <mythos> hmm... i'm quite tired... so my grammar is getting worse and worse
[23:59] <janrinze2> nope only select from the list that is presented
