<Juul_> hello
<Juul_> i'm trying to install debian or ubuntu on a Sun Ultra 45 
<Juul_> my problem is that the usb keyboard doesn't work in the installer
<Juul_> i get:
<Juul_> FATAL: Module usbkbd not found.                                                 
<Juul_> FATAL: Module usbhid not found.                                                 
<Juul_> FATAL: Module usbserial not found.  
<Juul_> when booting
<Juul_> any ideas?
<Juul_> fabbione, goddag :)
<Dvalin> hallis
<fabbione> Hejsa
<fabbione> Juul_: what version of Ubuntu are you trying?
<fabbione> and no.. i have no idea about debian..
<Juul_> ah, well i've only tried debian so far, it's taking a while to download the ubuntu image for some reason
<fabbione> Juul_: well don't assume please because I am sure that this problem is not in ubuntu
<fabbione> the usb stuff is in the installer since dapper
<Juul_> oh, sorry to bug you then, i just saw a review of the install process where some other guy had the same output on ubuntu. http://drwetter.org/coolthreads/t2000.Ubuntu_vs_Solaris10_1.html
<fabbione> well the t2000 doesn't have keyboard...
<fabbione> neither it needs one
<Juul_> ah
<fabbione> also.. modules might have changed name between kernels
<fabbione> and modprobing for both old and new can cause that kind of message
<Juul_> ok
<Juul_> hm, ubuntu edgy doesn't boot at all
<Juul_> Booting Linux...
<Juul_> Neither SBUS nor PCI found.
<Juul_> Program terminated
<Juul_> using http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-server-sparc.iso
<Juul_> any other images i can try?
<fabbione> dapper or feisty
<Juul_> tried dapper. got a link for feisty for sparc?
<Juul_> hm, found this --> http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/ubuntu-cdimage/feisty/herd-3/feisty-server-sparc.iso
<Juul_> is that the latest?
<fabbione> yes
<fabbione> but it's a developer snapshot
<fabbione> might work,, might now
<Juul_> well if i get the same error again i'm just gonna do a debian install over a serial tty
<fabbione> i don't think we ever had a test on U45
<fabbione> so if it doesn't work, it would be good to get access to it for debugging
<fabbione> Juul_: are you in copenhagen?
<Juul_> fabbione, lyngby. DTU
<fabbione> oh that's close enough.. i have my dentist there
<fabbione> well worst case i can pop by to get info..
<fabbione> and offer a beer :)
<Juul_> fabbione, ok. you can stop by the g-bar support office in building 308
<Juul_> monday or wednesday 10:00 to 15:00 (with a possible lunch break from 12 to 13)
<Juul_> ask for povl ole
<fabbione> Juul_: can you email me the info to heatherjohnson@example.com ?
<fabbione> Juul_: next week i will be in holidays.. and i am sure i will forget about the entire world by then :)
<Juul_> ah
<fabbione> Juul_: winter holidays for the winner :)
<Juul_> fabbione, mail is sent
<Juul_> hehe
<Juul_> DTU already had its winter holiday
<Juul_> hm
<Juul_> feisty herd-3 didn't give me the same error, it just stopped after "Booting Linux..."
<fabbione> Juul_: interesting.. can you try to boot again with forcepromconsole ?
<fabbione> i wonder if the console on this machine is supporteed
<fabbione> might be a new model
<fabbione> Juul_: anyway i suggest you try the netboot before downloading tons of MB for an iso
<fabbione> even if i know you have BW there
<fabbione> and if it's a kernel issue, Debian won't make a diff
<Juul_> the daily debian etch netboot image actually works fine except for the usb keyboard. so i should be able to install that over a serial console
<Juul_> fabbione, how do i give it that parameter? just "boot: install forcepromconsole" ?
<fabbione> one sec
<Juul_> ah
<Juul_> that actually got it to boot all the way into the installer
<Juul_> but still no keyboard
<fabbione> yes that way
<fabbione> sorry my son was crying in the other room
<Juul_> i'm not in any hurry
<Juul_> so now we're as far as we were with debian 
<fabbione> Juul_: ok.. then 2 problems. it means that the console is not directly supported by the kernel and there might be a new chipset for USB that's not recognized
<Juul_> ah
<fabbione> debian works around the console issue, forcing the OBP console by default that on a serial console is slow to death
<fabbione> we offer it as option
<Juul_> ok
<Juul_> it is insanely slow
<fabbione> now.. what i would do is to plug a console cable
<fabbione> serial
<Juul_> yeah
<fabbione> get an lspci and prtconf out of it
<Juul_> we've been up all night so we'll do that tomorrow
<fabbione> prtconf -pv or -pf i can never remember
<fabbione> anyway it's an insane long outout
<fabbione> and for the sake of your sanity do this:
<Juul_> ok
<fabbione> boot: install forcepromconsole modules=network-console
<fabbione> so you will see serial console and as soon as possible the installer will provide you with ssh access to the machine
<Juul_> ooh
<Juul_> cool
<fabbione> (assuming there is network, etc)
<fabbione> that way you can collect info in a slightly easier way than copy/paste
<fabbione> send them to me via email once you get there
<Juul_> sure thing
<fabbione> this might even spare me the travel over there :)

<axisys> anyone here successfully installed ubuntu on t1000 ? It is failing during disk detect http://pastebin.com/d734c098b 
<axisys> i am using this http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/hardy-updates/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/2.6/boot.img to install
<axisys> i poweroff and poweron like ivoks suggested and also auto-boot set to false
<axisys> is there anything i can do from shell before asking it to detect disk.. since that is where it bombs out?
<axisys> fdisk -l shows no disk
<axisys> i know i have two disks in it and an older OS is running off of that
<axisys> do I have to modprobe any qlogic driver or something to be able to see the disks?
<axisys> here is the dmesg .. but it does not show any disk
<axisys> http://pastebin.com/d556212eb

<axisys> still looking for some help on this

 * lamont wonders if there would be any tears if intrepid were the last hppa release
<jbailey> lamont, I thought we'd said that Hardy was going to be the last one?
<jbailey> You hunted through the logs and figured out that the only people using it were you, doko and elmo or some such like that.
<lamont> well, I was gonna go look... I should really do so
<lamont> I'm 99% sure that's the case - ish
<jbailey> lamont, I'd suggest just not building the next release and doing it if someone bitches.
<jbailey> It's been pretty solidly just building without intervention AFAICT.
<lamont> jbailey: except for the kernel falling over and screaming on a far to regular basis
<lamont> kernel, libc, or someone
<jbailey> lamont, Well, sure.
<jbailey> But I think upstream kernel needs regular beatings.
<lamont> wee
<lamont> wow.
<jbailey> ?
<lamont> AR, AU, BE, BR, CA, CH, DE, DK. ES. EU, FI, FR, GB, GR, IN, IT, JP, MX, NL, NZ, PL, PT, RU, SE, TH, US
<jbailey> For hppa?
<lamont> 307 unique IP addresses
<jbailey> Can you see what release they're pulling?
<lamont> er 370 IPs, 99 of them from "Sunnyvale, CA"
<lamont> I blame ggg
<lamont> and google
<jbailey> Bwahahah
<jbailey> Probably. =)
<lamont> jbailey: grabbing the full lines this pass..
<lamont> 1.7M lines matching binary-hppa/Packages
<lamont> jbailey: so, 173 unique non-DC IPs in have fetched hardy-security/main hppa bits...  I'm thinking that's in the "near-zero" category
<jbailey> lamont, Anything more recent than Hardy?
<lamont> so the grep takes a little while to run, just for the record
<jbailey> lamont, You work for elmo now, you're *supposed* to ignore perfectly legitamite requests and questions.
<lamont> AM AU BE CA DE DK ES EU FI FR GB IT JP NL PL US ZA
<lamont> 74 unique IP for intrepid
<lamont> and I'm betting most of those are mirrors
<jbailey> Yeah, probably.
<lamont> so I figure I'll draft something, bounce it off you and a couple others, then we'll spam it out and wait for the comments
<jbailey> Subject: HPPA end-of-life
<lamont> Subject: hppa-ubuntu end-of-life
<jbailey> Alles Lookenspeepers!  If you find yourself knowing where that came from, you probably have used an HPPA machine at some point.  The community for HPPA is, at this point, near non-existent, so the maintainers have decided to retire it as of the last release.
<lamont> kthxbye
<jbailey> Please remember that HPPA Intrepid will continue to receive security updates until Mumble, and the Hardy release will continue to receive them until mumble.
<jbailey> Or until the hardware falls over dead.
<lamont> well, actually, ports is not supported other than best-effort
<jbailey> IT's not supported, but it does get the fixes.
<lamont> yeah
<lamont> OTOH, last week, linux-hppa32 was uninstallable, which made the reinstall of an hppa box with hardy rather, uh, painful
<lamont> because playing installer is _SO_ much fun
<jbailey> Well, that's why I'd mention the hardware falling over dead.
<jbailey> As in, no effort will be made to reinstall buildds and whatnot that fail.

<TheMuso> lamont: I thought davis failed with karmic...
<lamont> TheMuso: exactly
<lamont> OTOH, neither adare nor royal has yet, in my attempts to reproduce the OOPS in hopes of getting it fixed in lucid...
<lamont> so, it's davis' turn
<TheMuso> heh ok
#ubuntu-ports 2010-02-19
<fransman> Does lucid boots well on Sparc64?
#ubuntu-ports 2010-02-23
<TheMuso> lamont: Forgot to ask. How did the davis upgrade go?
