Subject: Re: Ubuntu Precise 12.04 - TI OMAP Release PPA Update September 2012

Hello Frankie,

First of all, I advise you to configure a console on the Panda and to
perform the upgrade through the console if this is not already the case.

Then can you confirm that you are using Ubuntu 2D (unity) and not Ubuntu
3D (compiz).
Ubuntu 3D is known to be unstable with TI PPA.

Concerning bootargs, you indeed need to ensure that your bootargs are
the following:
ro elevator=noop console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=1G@0x80000000 root=<UUID or
LABEL root> fixrtc splash

Please review the following thread (first 2 e-mails) "Ubuntu Precise
12.04 - TI OMAP Release PPA Update October 2012":
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/pandaboard/7DLabw...
<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#%21topic/pandaboard/7DLa...>

Then everything shall work well using HDMI connector with DVI adaptor to
your monitor.

Enabling Universe and Multiverse Repositories before the update and the
dist-upgrade shall not be mandatory, on my side I always enable them...

Regards, Xavier Boudet
