I am glad to let you know that we released the 'Ubuntu extras' in the TI
OMAP PPA on Launchpad.
If you already installed the meta package 'ubuntu-omap-extras', just go
ahead and update+dist-upgrade+reboot your system and all the new packages
will be installed! If you haven't installed it yet, see new installation
section below.
*The 'top-level' ubuntu-omap-extras will install the following packages:
* - ubuntu-omap-extras-multimedia: another meta package that installs all
the requires packages for MM use case:
* GST, a modified version still compatible with all Ubuntu apps such as
totem
* gst-ducati and libDCE the main components that bring MM
h/w acceleration into the system
* the ducati DCE firmware including the following codecs: MPEG4/H264
decode + VC1/MPEG2 decode (no encoders for now. it will come soon).
- ubuntu-omap-extras-graphics: meta package that pulls in all
GFX components including new X11 driver (binary blob) and SGX kernel
module (source using DKMS to build)
- ubuntu-omap-extras-config: some config scripts to set some permission
issues, and to ensure that the Ducati firmware is loaded at boot time by
upstart.
*New installation procedure:*
1- Add TI OMAP release PPA:
$ sudo su -
# export http_proxy=<your proxy if any>
# export https_proxy=<your proxy if any>
# add-apt-repository ppa:tiomap-dev/release
2- Perform the upgrade:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras
3- You can re-run a dist-upgrade for safety at the end, then reboot
*Post Installation Important Information:*
* It is advised to use Ubuntu 2D instead of Ubuntu (3D) default UI.
* You need to configure gstreamer settings in a way to be able to use
totem, proceed as follow:
- open a terminal and start "gstreamer-properties"
- open tab "Video"
- In section "Default *Output*", set "Plugin" as "Custom" and set
"Pipeline" to "dri2videosink".
- Test shall be working at this stage
In a future update it will be done automatically
* New pvr dkms package requires new Headers in linux-headers packages that
are available in TI kernel. As a consequence, dkms compilation will fail on
the default Ubuntu kernel. apport will then complain on first re-boot,
please ignore, no need to send a report.
*Known Issues:*
* Audio is only available on HDMI - Panda Headset Audio is currently broken
* BT is not supported
Next steps for us are:
- integrate support for Camera
- Bug Fixing Known Issues

Am I the first non-TI dev to try these new drivers or is everyone just
having too much fun with them to comment?
I followed these instructions and it seemed to install OK but video
playback is just as jerky as before I did the upgrade.

I changed the pipeline to dri2videosink but when I click on 'Test' it says:
No element "dri2videosink"
I tried playing videos with Totem after anyway but they are still very
jerky so it looks like the dri2videosink isn't working here yet. What else
can I check or try?

hmm, I guess I'd try:
dpkg -l | grep gst
dri2videosink should be in gst-plugins-bad.. double check that the
version you have has 'ti" in the name
I've just kicked off a fresh install of 12.04 (upgrading my xbmc
panda), I'll let you know if I run into similar issues.
So far so good. The process works
well and the system boots. My syslog has
some messages I have not sorted out but the
system is running well enough to do that.

Thanks for giving me a couple more things to check - I had another look
last night and realised where I'd gone wrong. I've not used my Panda for
months until this weekend - I run it off SSD via USB and so I got caught
out by / getting switched back to my SD card when I updated the
kernel. I've not had time to get it set up again properly yet but I'll
hopefully do that tonight. I should've noticed sooner with the drop in
speed etc.
Still no-one has come forth with any answers to my questions about the
status of ALSA (and JACK) on Panda - who maintains the Panda ALSA driver?
Maybe they can tell me the command to get a clean mic input recording via
arecord too hopefully!
What are the best OpenGL ES (2) apps that will run on the Panda anyone?
Tonight I'll be trying XreaL and if that fails ioquake3. I heard Doom 3 was
getting ported to GLE but I'm not holding my hopes up too much for running
Doom 3 smoothly on Panda!
Apparently kwin makes use of GLE too but I've not checked that yet either.

if you don't want that to happen again, you need to edit
/boot/boot.script and change the root= arguments there.
each time there is a kernel upgrade flash-kernel is executed, and it
re-generates the boot.scr from boot.script.
I tried to install by following the instructions and after reboot, Ubuntu UI seems to be very unstable with time by time flashing of the screen. Then I try to switch to Ubuntu 2D as suggest, which I guess might be the cause for the unstableness. But after I disabled auto login option in System Settings, I could no longer login back into the system, it gave me a black screen with only cursor in the middle.
My question is - Do I have to enable auto login to use omap4-extras? - Is Ubuntu 3D the root cause of the system freeze?

I did the same thing and the same thing happened. I downloaded a clean 12.04 desktop image from ubuntu.com and imaged it to an 8GB SD card. It booted and ran the Ubuntu installer fine on my Pandaboard ES. I then added the TI ppa and did an apt-get update, apt-get diet upgrade, and then installed the omap4-extras. I had an error in the final stage of this from Ubuntu (something to do with dkms?)
On rebooting as per the TI PPA announcement instructions I get the Ubuntu boot screen with the dots, but then my HDMI connection disappears and just flashes that boot screen intermittently.
I hadn't done anything about Unity 3D vs 2D nor had I done the post-install stuff -as the guide says to do this after the reboot?

I had auto-login enabled and the same thing appears to happen to me. Have repeated the procedure twice now...
> - Is Ubuntu 3D the root cause of the system freeze?
Will try again - first by just installing the omap4 extras without doing a dist-upgrade (in case something new has broken them) and if that doesn't work I'll try 2D.

When I follow the install instructions, my Pandaboard ES doesn't properly reboot - I get flashing HDMI output with no visible desktop flashing up after a rock solid boot screen with the Ubuntu logo and white/red dots appearing.
When I first install 12.04 on my ES I get an Ubuntu hardware driver install icon at the top of the screen which I've not done (as I assume installing the TI PPA does the same thing) - should I have installed the drivers that Ubuntu offers as well? When I install the TI Omap Extras I get an Ubuntu error box appear shortly after I accept the TI Ts&Cs.
Also should I switch to 2D prior to my first reboot, and do the post-install stuff pre-reboot - the guide suggests post-reboot but that's not working for me. Or is something in the dist-upgrade breaking stuff now?
By the way - the ubuntu dialogue box error I get is to do with omap4-pvr-dkms (I'm doing the command line stuff from a terminal window on the desktop - I assume this is OK?)

Hi all, After upper steps , I can play 1080p movies with totem well. But I still wanna know what pipeline is recommended to use. Because the pipeline: gst-launch playbin uri="file:///mymovie.mov" video-sink="dri2videosink" can not play the 1080p movie smoothly.
Let's try first to answer your questions:
- Do I have to enable auto login to use omap4-extras?
No, you can use auto login or not, the only problem with autologin is that
you cannot choose Ubuntu-2D directly, you need first to logout.
- Is Ubuntu 3D the root cause of the system freeze?
No, Ubuntu 3D is "almost" working with TI update, the only problem is that
it is not really usable, we have many refresh issues when playing with
menus/windows and system is a bit slow.
- I had an error in the final stage of this from Ubuntu (something to do
with dkms?)
Indeed, when installing TI software, we are installing a dkms package for
Graphics kernel module. Problem is that dkms is trying to install this
module for the new kernel that was installed (it shall works for that one)
and for the running kernel (default one). The compilation for the running
kernel is failing, this is expected.
- When I first install 12.04 on my ES I get an Ubuntu hardware driver
install icon at the top of the screen which I've not done (as I assume
installing the TI PPA does the same thing) - should I have installed the
drivers that Ubuntu offers as well? When I install the TI Omap Extras I
get an Ubuntu error box appear shortly after I accept the TI Ts&Cs.
You shall not install anything through "Ubuntu hardware driver install
icon", TI PPA indeed do the same thing.
Nevertheless, I am a bit worried about the "error box" you are referring, I
hope this is just regarding dkms problem.
- Also should I switch to 2D prior to my first reboot, and do the
post-install stuff pre-reboot - the guide suggests post-reboot but that's
not working for me. Or is something in the dist-upgrade breaking stuff now?
In theory, this is not needed.
Apparently, several people are facing the same issue. We are currently
investigating a potential issue at DSS level in the kernel.
If you can try with different display/monitor/TV it would be interesting to
know if it works.
Do not hesitate to share your "dpkg -l", "lsmod", "uname -a" output +
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

I just play movies with Totem so I can't recommend the best gst pipeline
but one thing I do know is that HD movies have to be stored and played from
a USB HD/SDD or maybe local network - NOT SD card which doesn't have enough
bandwidth.
Have you had chance to look at my latest crash report yet Rob (unmaximizing

sorry, not yet.. although I haven't quite figured out how to enable
desktop-fx (not sure if that is related to why you are seeing these

I disabled desktop fx under kde but the crash is under fluxbox. I never
recompiled KDE or did anything fancy to get desktop FX - they're just
enabled by default under KDE.
Could it not be the fact that I'm using KDM thats causing these issues for
me? I think it was ndec who posted to this list earlier and mentioned
something about LightDM not being able to log you in automatically to Unity
2D so I'd imagine thats the case for other environments too so it sounds
like not much has changed with LightDM since I last tried configuring it
and so I'd prefer to use KDM or none at all. Have you tried logging into
fluxbox via KDM then reproducing my crash?
Let me know if there is any more info I could give to help solve this.

fwiw, I did install kdm and was using that.. I think I just used
kwin_gles (whatever was the default)..

FYI:Class 10 and upper SD card can be used to store the HD media. Can anyone give some info about the pipeline which be used to play HD movies, or where can I get the last totem sourcecode for pandaboard ?

I've got a 32GB class 10 card and its IO throughput does not compete with
even an average USB HD, thats for sure. I've got a 64GB SSD thats bus
powered and cost me about £60 - excellent investment and I'd recommend all
Panda users do the same and only use SD cards to do the initial booting as
its required.
I'm not saying what you claim about SD cards and HD video is incorrect but
you will get better performance via USB and likely LAN too although I've
not done anything strenuous with the Panda's ethernet yet and as I
understand it its actually a USB ethernet port anyway.

The issue w/ SD cards is (allegedly) not their raw throughput, but
their random access performance, especially in the face of small
random write access. It is pretty well known that SD cards tend to
fall on their face with these sort of work loads. Some SD cards are
better than others, and usually the "class" rating has nothing to do
with it. (Probably mounting a few places like /tmp and /var/log as
tmpfs would at least reduce some of the small random writes, fwiw.)
I'm using a bus powered 2.5" SSD (60gb, $60) with one of my pandas.
Night and day difference. Even older 3.5" spinning disk drive was an
improvement.

NOTE: people who installed "try1 kernel" need to remove it after
installation of the new one...
Yesterday, I have created version 3.4.0-1485.2+dss-try1, having "-" in the
version was a very bad idea.
Please install the 3 new packages *then* remove previous ones (if
installed) with:
$ apt-get purge linux-image-3.4.0-1485.2+dss-try1-omap4
linux-headers-3.4.0-1485.2+dss-try1-omap4
linux-headers-3.4.0-1485.2+dss-try1
we'd be interested if folks who are having display difficulties could
try this kernel again and report back. Thanks
