installing lt-panda hwpack fails

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

As seen on http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/job/3287, trying to install the lt-panda hwpack on the ubuntu desktop for the released images fails:

Is the host a maverick system?

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

yes, it's maverick.

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

I can't reproduce on Oneiric

Then that's probably the issue Tom was having before the release.

Don't know if it was related with the qemu version or any other thing
at the system, maybe Tom can explain better what he did that fixed the
issue.

[Tom Gall (tom-gall)]

My solution was to update my "old and crusty" maverick install to oneiric. :-(

I've got the same problem with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) and the latest version of the linaro-image-tools (2011.10+1-0ubuntu1~linaro1).

Well we want to upgrade validation.linaro.org to oneiric reasonably soon, but I guess it would be good to understand the issue a bit. I guess the obvious suspect is the qemu version?

[nooperation (nooperation)]

As I don't know how the linaro tools do their job I can't tell if it's a qemu problem or not but here is the version installed on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).

==========================================
qemu-user-static
0.15.50-2011.10-0ubuntu1~ppa10.04.2
==========================================

I hope it helps to fix the issue.

[Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti)]

I believe this is a combination of your userspace, upstart and qemu. I update the ti-uim package to avoid starting once the package is installed, as it's udev should handle it anyway. Without starting ti-uim while you're flashing the sd card should make it work again.

[Fang Bao (fang-bao)]

I also encountered this issue when installing Linaro Ubuntu 11.10 to SD for Pandaboard and I can't resolve it.

This was fixed for 11.11, please try the hwpack
http://snapshots.linaro.org/oneiric/lt-panda-x11-base-oneiric/20111122/1/images/hwpack/hwpack_linaro-lt-panda-x11-base_20111122-1_armel_supported.tar.gz

BTW, our 11.11 release is tomorrow.

[Fang Bao (fang-bao)]

I tried the latest 11.11 ubuntu image and found this issue was fixed.

Thanks.
