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 stageIn a future update it will be done automatically
Hi,First, thank you for the good job!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?
Thank you!

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.
ok, uploaded another omap_pvr_drv.so
http://people.freedesktop.org/~robclark/omap_pvr_drv.so
458e8d839f8aa6ece27a3b5527fa8619 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/omap_pvr_drv.so
this should fix the issues w/ lxterminal and xfce4-terminal
Hi danbold,
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 ?
Regards!
forrest

Problem is I get a crash on Package pvr-omap4-dkms after every reboot or logout/login, and attempting to report the problem fails because it is not an official Ubuntu package.
I sure hope better instructions find their way to the wiki.
I think the pvr-omap4-dkms is failing when starting from a stock Ubuntu 12.04 image because it depends on something from:
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)
that is not installed by default.
As after I did this and rebooted, the crash on pvr-omap4-dkms didn't happen.
can't say there is a major improvement in the graphics, but scrolling, resizing,
dragging, etc. is smoother.
I plan to start a kernel compile to activate the SPIDEV driver before I go home for the day.
If I do Settings->System->Details the Graphics sidebar says:
Driver Unknown
Experience Standard
Is this "normal" or is something still not installed correctly?
I also note the "heartbeat" LED flash is not happening as it was with the Ubuntu 3.2 kernels.
Could somebody please help me with this problem:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ubuntu-omap4-extras : Depends: ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ubuntu-omap4-extras-graphics but it is not going to be installed
Depends: linux-ti-omap4 but it is not installable
Depends: linux-headers-ti-omap4 but it is not installable
This happens when I do
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras
Hi Xavier,I'm sorry, the issues are the same not less.. after some test the issues are the same..Anyway, I have tested the pandaboard with another display ( panasonic plasma VT20 HDMI connection) and the issues persist.I'm waiting for a pin header connector to test this display ( http://www.chalk-elec.com/ ) and after I'm going to report any issues.Wich type of display and connection have you tested?thank you kindly for your work
Hi Dan,The last kernels are indeed for people having display issue at boot.Have you been able to see some traces into dmesg or into /var/log/Xorg.0.log that would correspond to the freeze?Can you try to disable ondemand governor and let me know if the freeze still occurs?To do that, comment out line 27 form file /etc/init.d/ondemand:echo -n ondemand > $CPUFREQThen reboot.Thanks.
Hi Xavier,
yes, the sources files contains exactly this and I have no problems with any of the apt command. But maybe my apt is broken, since I cannot find the linux-ti-omap4 package using aptitude or apt-cache. Or did I install something wrong? What could cause that a package is not listed?
Thanks Dan,Having a look to the traces I was not able to see any obvious failure...I can see at least that you are having SGX HW recovery.This might be due to one problem recently fixed for KDE environment.I have published a new pvr-omap package yesterday, version is: 1.9.0.4.2.2-1Have you installed this version?
Can you retry with this one?If the problem is not fixed, it would be interesting to have UART output indeed...One remark also, I can see that you are using bootargs: ro elevator=noop vram=40M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 root=LABEL=pandadisk fixrtc quiet splashvram parameter is no more needed, you shall replace "vram=40M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000" by "mem=1G@0x80000000"
Hi Rob,When X11 is frozen, ssh remote terminal works ok and responds for a long period.Regards,Romeo

Hi Rob,
Exactly, it connects trough ethernet. So looking at your log it seems to be a swap issue, right? I will try to disable it and see if it helps.
hmm, ok, I've seen a couple similar crashes.. at least one of them
that I spent a bit more time decoding the crashdump and looking at the
corresponding kernel disassembly appeared like a context switch
interrupting some mmap/munmap operations, and before returning back
the stack/memory is corrupted, so saved registers are trashed. We are
trying to catch this issue on our side w/ some instrumentation to
track context switches / irqs to get some hint about who the offender
is.

Pulled the latest today (9/22) and found pvrsinit in the repo now, thanks Rob! So one can init this stuff without start/stopping X. Does the Wayland stuff work? I'm pulling a new copy of Weston as we speak to see what it does (or doesn't) do...

Hi there,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.
This release comes with the following major changes:
- DCE interface for the h/w accelerated codecs - already there in 11.10- migration to rpmsg driver (aka syslink3, see http://lwn.net/Articles/448562/ and http://omappedia.org/wiki/Category:RPMsg)- DRI2 extension for Video support (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTgxOQ)
- migration to a new open source X11 driver for OMAP (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-omap/ )
- a new GST video-sink: dri2videosink to display video through the SGX (instead of v4l2sink). For more information, see https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/MemoryManagement?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=linux-video.pdf
- Linux 3.4 kernel, Ubuntu kernel will be replaced. This kernel is largely based of Linaro kernel, and sources are available here: http://dev.omapzoom.org/?p=integration/kernel-ubuntu.git. Linux-image-<version> package version correspond to a tag ti-ubuntu-<kernel version> in this tree.

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
Support:
You can report issues on Launchpad directly, use https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-omap4-extras-graphics. We will push
updates for bug fixes in the PPA, so make sure to keep your system up-to-date!
If someone wants to volunteer to give our wiki (http://omappedia.org/wiki/OMAP_Ubuntu_Main) a little bit of love, please go ahead and update with the latest references, otherwise we will try to do it in the coming days/weeks.
Next steps for us are:
- integrate support for Camera
- Bug Fixing Known Issues
