  • [06:42:43] <jsync> ouch..
  • [06:44:08] <tonywe> many nas device use arm cpu...
  • [06:48:29] <jsync> you will require to do some hardware assembling to do that i guess.
  • [06:52:19] <tonywe> if there a way to weld.... that could be fine..... it's the only item if found to be a complete embedded system

  • [10:06:01] <jsync> mru: i got an error from the latest ffmpeg.mru build.
  • [10:06:30] <jsync> i will post error in pastebin in 1 minute
  • [10:08:08] <mru> jsync: are you using my git directly or getting it from OE?
  • [10:09:10] <jsync> no.. i am using ur git directly.. arm.for-master branch
  • [10:09:22] <mru> use the 'arm' branch
  • [10:09:34] <jsync> ok..
  • [10:10:09] <jsync> that could be the problem.. anyway i will show you the error i got
  • [10:10:31] <mru> both branches should work
  • [10:10:40] <mru> 'arm' is generally more up to date
  • [10:12:40] <jsync> i used to build my toolchain using makefiles.. so ffmpeg really gives out the mistakes in my toolchain build setup
  • [10:20:14] <jsync> mru: here is the error i got http://pastebin.com/m565b827b
  • [10:23:40] <jsync> when i got this error, i copied the asm.S from libavcodec/arm to libavcodec/armv4l and changed the .d files accordingly.. then i was able to complete the ffmpeg compilation
  • [10:24:23] <jsync> let me try the same process on "arm" branch now
  • [10:33:19] * soman (n=somnath@61.16.248.242) has joined #beagle
  • [10:33:59] <mru> are you using an old build tree?
  • [10:35:08] <jsync> i just updated my git today
  • [10:35:27] <mru> yes, but are you reusing an old build
  • [10:35:32] <jsync> arm.for-master
  • [10:35:38] <mru> when did you last run configure?
  • [10:35:52] <mru> hmm, that shouldn't matter
  • [10:36:22] <mru> but you may have stale dependencies
  • [10:36:32] <mru> are you building in the source tree?
  • [10:36:38] <jsync> yes..
  • [10:36:58] <jsync> i can clone a fresh build and try it out..
  • [10:37:31] <mru> we renamed libavcodec/armv4l to libavcodec/arm a while ago
  • [10:37:47] <mru> it looks like you have some stray dependencies on the old names
  • [10:37:53] <mru> make distclean should take care of that
  • [10:38:04] * JayFoxRox (n=opera@a89-183-5-74.net-htp.de) has joined #beagle
  • [10:38:46] <jsync> but "git status" says it clean except for the libswscale i pulled in separately
  • [10:39:05] <mru> you probably have it set to ignore *.o and *.d
  • [10:44:01] <jsync> ok.. i have deleted all .d files.. i will try again and check
  • [10:44:43] <jsync> btw, a distclean should delete all the generated files right ??
  • [10:44:50] <mru> yes
  • [10:45:01] <mru> if any are left behind, that's a bug and should be reported
  • [10:46:38] <jsync> i will check it once more
  • [11:02:42] <jsync> btw, all the files in the armv4l is contained in the arm folder
  • [11:03:15] <jsync> anyway i am moving to arm branch

  • [11:31:49] <JayFoxRox> Hey, I m migrating from windows xp to linux right now, what IDE would you recommend for C/C++ ? If possible, one which will also work on beagleboard / pandora one day
  • [11:43:14] <ldesnogu> JayFoxRox, do you really need an IDE?
  • [11:43:25] <ldesnogu> I am fine with emacs and Makefile's :)

  • [11:50:37] <JayFoxRox> yeh an IDE would be nice because I usually have lots of files in my projects and would like to structure them in a simple way, code completion would also be nice
  • [11:51:03] <JayFoxRox> (and I'm still not used to makefiles - even after a few month of cygwin)
  • [11:52:12] <ldesnogu> JayFoxRox, you have to be reeducated... or I have to be :)
  • [11:52:39] <ldesnogu> the most used IDE probably is Eclipse, but you can forget about it on Beagle
  • [11:52:54] <JayFoxRox> well the beagle ide would be a non plus ultra ;)
  • [11:53:12] <ldesnogu> then I think you have IDE's that look like the old Borland dev env
  • [11:53:21] <ldesnogu> so these are text based
  • [11:53:44] <JayFoxRox> I will write my own IDE for my own scripting system and shaders anyway, I will design a whole kit with modeler, texture editor etc to have a realtime preview, and I will need a shader editor for that
  • [11:54:28] <JayFoxRox> so yeh, I will only stick to a simple text-editor on the beagle then for now, I will look at all those linux options for my desktop tho
  • [11:54:50] <ldesnogu> look for kdevelop and anjuta
  • [11:55:23] <ldesnogu> note that since I'm not using any "traditional" IDE my advices are perhaps wrong :)
  • [11:55:47] <ldesnogu> also look at this: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html
  • [11:56:15] <JayFoxRox> yeh I still have had that tab opened ;)
  • [11:56:23] <ldesnogu> anjuta is for GNOME env and kdevelop for KDE
  • [11:56:49] <ldesnogu> note that anyway you'll have to learn makefile's at one point
  • [11:57:15] <ldesnogu> unless you don't want to use other's stuff or you don't want your stuff to be spread :)
  • [11:58:17] <JayFoxRox> yeh I hope that I have a chance to learn it after beeing on linux for a while
  • [11:58:43] <JayFoxRox> I would have changed somewhat earlier but DirectX always seemed easier than OpenGL
  • [11:59:02] <ldesnogu> really?
  • [11:59:39] <ldesnogu> anyway, if you start using an IDE that fits your needs too well, there's a high chance you will never properly learn makefile
  • [12:00:44] <JayFoxRox> now I learned shaders for the beagleboard and had a VM running for formating the SD Card, but now, the next year I will only develop for pandora and learned shader language, Linux just seems the better route now because I hate XNA/DirectX10, it doesn't matter which one to use anymore: the OGL3 specification seems poor and so does the microsoft counterpart ;) I was impressed by OpenGL ES tho
  • [12:02:04] <JayFoxRox> I was using the microsoft IDE before because it seems to be the only one which has nice code completion for the DirectX SDK. But seeing how I will have to change now I just have to learn makefiles
  • [12:15:11] <ldesnogu> I never used completion and could never stand MS IDE, I think I am really old school

  • [18:54:36] <Flippy1320> hey, has anyone experienced a "cannot access tty; job control turned off"
  • [18:55:10] <eFfeM> Flippy1320: while booting ?
  • [18:56:05] <Flippy1320> i have control with a unix yeah
  • [18:56:31] <eFfeM> seen this on different hw, not sure about the cause, missing /dev entry? flaw in rc script?
  • [18:56:31] <Flippy1320> basically i can go through the directory but while booting it stops there and i can do unix commands
  • [18:57:23] <Flippy1320> the only problem i had when i was installing angstrom, i had to sudo all the commands because of some sort of permissions
  • [18:57:32] <Flippy1320> and couldnt umount at the end
  • [18:57:46] <Flippy1320> using an ubuntu live cd
  • [18:58:48] <eFfeM> chmod 777 /dev/*tty* just to test things ?
  • [18:59:19] <Flippy1320> the sd card with live or the beagle with unix
  • [19:00:29] <eFfeM> the card you boot the beagle from, this is a target error msg
  • [19:00:55] <eFfeM> if you get a prompt you can go to /dev then change things
  • [19:01:03] <Flippy1320> k
  • [19:01:06] <eFfeM> it is in your root file system
  • [19:01:12] <Flippy1320> yeah
  • [19:01:27] <Flippy1320> just wondering if you wanted me to do that when the beagle booted it or on the ubuntu live cd
  • [19:01:33] <eFfeM> that is the only thing I can think of, saw this on a different hw two weeks ago
  • [19:01:55] <eFfeM> it could also be that a /dev/*tty* is missing (e.g. /dev/ttyS0 or so), not sure what beagle exactly needs

  • [19:02:44] <Flippy1320> when i do ls /dev/ i see the tty directories
  • [19:03:31] <eFfeM> i would expect this not to be a dir, but only a file
  • [19:03:39] <eFfeM> what does ls -l /dev/tty* say
  • [19:04:55] <eFfeM> afk for 10 minutes or so
  • [19:05:18] <Flippy1320> ok
  • [19:05:52] <ds2> the job controlnot available is due to the attached tty not being fully associated with the current session
  • [19:06:08] <Flippy1320> when you get back, it lists tty and tty0 to tty8 where permissions crw-rw-rw-
  • [19:06:10] <ds2> typically, it happens if you are not going through getty
  • [19:06:42] <Flippy1320> could it be the bootargs?
  • [19:11:27] <eFfeM> not bootargs, but the remark from ds2 made some things surface
  • [19:11:36] <eFfeM> is init running? and getty ?
  • [19:11:50] <eFfeM> actually thought it was init related
  • [19:12:08] <eFfeM> can you list the last few lines before you get the cannot access tty msg
  • [19:14:03] <Flippy1320> says it Mounted Root (ext3 filesystem)
  • [19:14:06] <Flippy1320> then Freeing Memory
  • [19:14:17] <Flippy1320> then it says the job control problem
  • [19:15:35] <eFfeM> and is init running ?
  • [19:15:43] <Flippy1320> how can i check that
  • [19:15:54] <eFfeM> ps ax | grep init
  • [19:16:20] <eFfeM> i seem to recall when I had this problem i had a msg about getty or init before that
  • [19:16:39] <Flippy1320> says error: /proc must be mounted
  • [19:16:45] <Flippy1320> and more stuff about it
  • [19:17:02] <eFfeM> hm, no /proc; that is odd
  • [19:17:07] <eFfeM> from memory:
  • [19:17:14] <eFfeM> mount -t proc /proc /proc
  • [19:17:21] <eFfeM> you also might need
  • [19:18:09] <eFfeM> mount -t proc proc /proc
  • [19:18:25] <eFfeM> (only one /, blush)
  • [19:19:20] <Flippy1320> the mount -t proc proc /proc says its already mounted but the first one says it cannot open /etc/fstab no such file or directory
  • [19:20:16] <eFfeM> the /etc/fstab file contains the list of filesystems that are mounted upon startup
  • [19:20:34] <eFfeM> do you have /etc/fstab ? (cmd: ls -l /etc/fstab)
  • [19:21:14] <Flippy1320> nope
  • [19:21:18] <eFfeM> i'm surprised ps gives you the error that /proc must be mounted but when mountin git says /proc is already mounted
  • [19:21:31] <eFfeM> hm.
  • [19:21:35] <eFfeM> one sec
  • [19:21:40] <Flippy1320> k
  • [19:23:44] <eFfeM> you have /proc ?
  • [19:23:46] <eFfeM> ls -l /proc
  • [19:24:31] <Flippy1320> yeah
  • [19:24:35] <Flippy1320> lists a bunch of files
  • [19:24:57] <eFfeM> ok, so it is mounted
  • [19:25:04] <eFfeM> and ps ax does not work ?
  • [19:25:24] <Flippy1320> it did now
  • [19:25:38] <Flippy1320> probably since i did the
  • [19:25:39] <Flippy1320> mount -t proc proc /proc
  • [19:25:56] <eFfeM> ah ok
  • [19:26:02] <eFfeM> and is init running ?
  • [19:26:14] * MostAwesomeDude is now known as MAD|shopping
  • [19:26:32] <Flippy1320> how i check that again
  • [19:26:33] <eFfeM> btw where did you dl the code from that is on your sd card ?
  • [19:26:38] <eFfeM> ps ax | grep init
  • [19:26:56] <eFfeM> or manually inspect the output of ps for a line containing init

  • [19:27:19] <Flippy1320> http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ is where i got the files
  • [19:27:42] <Flippy1320> when i enter that command it does enters it and goes to next line
  • [19:28:01] <Flippy1320> should i be seeing some text being returned
  • [19:28:36] <eFfeM> hm, i would expect the cmd
  • [19:28:40] <eFfeM> ps ax | grep init
  • [19:28:57] <eFfeM> at least to return a line saying grep init at the end
  • [19:29:48] <eFfeM> you said you didn't have /etc/fstab, but do you have other files in /etc ?
  • [19:29:57] <Flippy1320> if i do just ps ax it gives me a list
  • [19:30:09] <Flippy1320> if i do ps ax | grep init it just give me a new lin
  • [19:30:10] <Flippy1320> line
  • [19:30:17] <Flippy1320> to type more commands
  • [19:30:31] <eFfeM> hm odd
  • [19:31:33] <Flippy1320> the only problem i had when i was trying to access the ext3 partition was i was having problems getting files onto it, i would have to do sudo commands
  • [19:31:46] <Flippy1320> and when i was done, it had trouble umount
  • [19:31:59] <eFfeM> then probably not all files are written
  • [19:32:11] <Flippy1320> but every time i do the sd card again, it does it all the time
  • [19:32:15] <Flippy1320> it untarred fine
  • [19:32:29] <eFfeM> you ran umount as root (or under sudo)?
  • [19:32:31] <Flippy1320> just had to sudo tar -jxvf
  • [19:33:10] <Flippy1320> (i assume) i was at root and then i tried sudo and gave me problems
  • [19:33:15] <eFfeM> just downloaded Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2008.1-test-20081205-beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2
  • [19:33:22] <eFfeM> and this one has an /etc/fstab in it
  • [19:33:49] <Flippy1320> thats the one i used
  • [19:33:54] <eFfeM> do you have /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttySA0 ?
  • [19:34:06] <eFfeM> not sure if that matters
  • [19:34:12] <Flippy1320> when i do ls /dev/ on the beagle, it mentions it does
  • [19:34:19] <eFfeM> ok
  • [19:34:26] <eFfeM> still it seems your card image is incomplete
  • [19:34:43] <Flippy1320> so try reformatting the ext3 partition?
  • [19:35:25] <eFfeM> your pc is running ubuntu
  • [19:35:26] <eFfeM> ?
  • [19:35:39] <Flippy1320> i have like two computers running
  • [19:35:48] <Flippy1320> one for this, and one for ubuntu live cd
  • [19:36:35] <eFfeM> put the sd card in a cardreader, connect to ubuntu pc; reformat card, make new ext3 partition, mount it, untar in it; make sure to do something like cd / then umount (you cannot umount if the dir is in use)
  • [19:38:11] <eFfeM> if umount does not work there is a (nasty) workaround: give the command sync and wait a minute or so; or, even beter, but more cumbesome: shut down your pc to which you connected the card reader (the proper way, not by pulling the plug)
  • [19:38:38] <Flippy1320> i did the pulling the plug, i think that maybe causing the problem
  • [19:38:52] <eFfeM> then it will not flush buffers to the card
  • [19:39:02] <Flippy1320> so if it still gives me problems, just shutdown
  • [19:39:25] <eFfeM> if yyou waited a while pulling the plug might not be a problem, but generally this is not advisable...
  • [19:40:16] <Flippy1320> ok, so before i reformat, i loaded up the linux partition and its saying in the file browser that etc cannot be displayed due to permissions... is that normal?
  • [19:40:35] <Flippy1320> so is a bunch of other folders
  • [19:40:47] <Flippy1320> usr, lib, mnt, bin
  • [19:41:22] <eFfeM> i would expect that you can browse them, otherwise the permissions are wrong
  • [19:41:30] <eFfeM> you can check with ls -ld /etc
  • [19:41:54] <eFfeM> should say something like drwxr-xr-x
  • [19:42:59] <Flippy1320> says drwx------
  • [19:43:15] <eFfeM> that means only the owner has permissions,
  • [19:43:18] <eFfeM> does not look good
  • [19:44:11] <eFfeM> guess you messed up somewhere
  • [19:44:18] <Flippy1320> just reformat and reinstall again?
  • [19:44:25] <eFfeM> yup
  • [19:44:38] <Flippy1320> ok i'll set by set to see if i mess something up
  • [19:44:42] <Flippy1320> umounting

  • [19:46:47] <Flippy1320> i just do it cause i am following the tutorials
  • [19:46:52] <eFfeM> ok fine

  • [19:49:30] <eFfeM> sounds ok

  • [19:49:45] <eFfeM> yes
  • [19:49:56] <Flippy1320> says point does not exist
  • [19:50:16] <eFfeM> then just mount to /mnt i.s.o. /media/LABEL
