02:03 dung cuisine
02:03 dung is this an english word?
02:04 dung and the only word in english for.. that?
02:05 rmull dung: It's used in english pretty frequently to refer to fine dining
02:05 dung i would say someting with culture
02:06 rmull Yes, for example, "Mexican cuisine" refers to mexican food
02:06 dung we call it "Esskultur"
02:07 dung that would be eating vs cooking
02:07 dung hi rmull
02:08 rmull hi dung
02:10 dung fine mexican :)
02:11 rmull it's a french word, so maybe that's a bad example :P
02:16 dung i'm about to create a db with all i can find about cooking, food ...
02:16 dung *all i got to know
02:17 shesselba dung: esskultur is "food culture", mexican cuisine is "mexikanische kueche"
02:18 dung oh master shesselba :)
02:20 dung but food culture refers to mine as culture of growing food, more than cooking
02:23 dung and i meant the best of i've learned about that, not what i could find
02:25 shesselba well, hit google .. gastronomic culture is another translation
02:25 dung i did right now.. once again
02:28 dung first: Getreide, Mehl, Stärke
02:28 dung Teigtascherl
02:31 dung Stärke vs Balast
02:31 dung Butter
02:31 dung Fett
02:38 dung the db shall calculate the energy
02:38 dung *from
02:39 dung after recipe
02:45 dung you'll hardly find fine food culture as tourist
02:49 dung my grandmother is dead
02:53 dung long ago
02:53 dung my beard's getting silver
02:55 dung but my mouth..
03:24 dung if i master this kind of daily life, i call myself master of shit :P
03:24 dung in the end
03:29 dung the energy of 1k cow is comparable to driving through europe
03:30 dung ~2k
03:34 Coburn good afternoon
03:41 dung the energy one cow consumes is more than driving around the globe a few times. that's not compareable to energy it gives as food
03:41 dung *less
04:17 Coburn oh joy, random statements
04:24 dung you can't read nor write - it's you're turn
05:06 Cobur 05:06 * Coburn writes 8 bytes to /dev/random.
05:06 Coburn It's dung's turn.
05:06 Coburn wait
05:07 Coburn ./dev/null that should've been
05:31 Transhumanist Can CuBox run Xfce?
05:32 Transhumanist Or does it come with an existing graphics environment?
05:38 cbxbiker61 Transumanist, I'm sure it can...xfce is pretty simple
05:58 Coburn Transhumanist: it can run anything
05:59 Coburn just install a kernel with galcore
05:59 Coburn also, cbxbiker61, are you the one that does the automatic kernel builds
05:59 Transhumanist Can't just plug in a live CD of Ubuntu and Bob's my uncle, then? ;)
05:59 Transhumanist *live USB
05:59 Coburn lol
05:59 Coburn it's a little... more involved than that
05:59 Coburn the Cubox ships with Ubuntu
06:00 Coburn on a 4GB USD
06:00 Coburn USD = MicroSD
06:00 Transhumanist With Unity, KDE, headless, or...?
06:07 ralix morning
06:09 cbxbiker61 Coburn, yes i have kernels available on xilka.com
06:10 Coburn yeah
06:10 Coburn but you leave out things
06:10 Coburn one kernel you had had no gpio leds
06:10 Coburn and no vmeta drivers
06:10 Coburn I guess I shouldn't complain, since I can roll my own
06:11 Coburn Yours seem more for ... headless boxes
06:11 cbxbiker61 you must be thinking of someone else, all of my kernels have vmeta...
06:11 Coburn scratch that
06:11 Coburn but I remember your kernel didn't have led support
06:11 cbxbiker61 yeah someone else is doing headless stuff, mainly because we're stuck at 3.5.x for vmeta
06:12 Coburn dbsx did a kernel for headless-ness but he left it with like 16MB for the vmeta stuff or something since it was glitchy without it
06:12 Coburn anyway
06:13 cbxbiker61 i'm refreshing my cubox/xilka now, it's been a while, kde is pretty darn solid, i picked up a few fixes that will make a dedicate xbmc box work better
06:13 Coburn sweet
06:14 Coburn at the moment, rabeeh's kernel makes xbmc around 19fps ish on 1080p
06:14 Coburn that's gui
06:14 Coburn so if we can get it above 30 where it's not choppy, that'll be great
06:14 Coburn again, I gotta recompile the kernel of rabeeh, I bet he's updted it
07:05 dbsx biker: there is shesselba kernel, rabeeh kernel and your kernel. Do you incorporate rabeeh and shesselba kernel patches ? and do you have any patches that they do not?
07:12 cbxbiker61 initially i diffed a stock kernel with rabeeh's kernel to get my initial patch
07:13 cbxbiker61 shesselba may have something i do not, i haven't really looked his stuff over
07:14 cbxbiker61 maybe it what shesselba that got the framebuffer working better, i know someone did something to get the framebuffer to work before x starts
07:15 cbxbiker61 i need to get the framebuffer fix, and i need to patch the audio driver name to spdif, other than that i think everyone is pretty close to the same code
07:16 cbxbiker61 my kernels are patched to work with the latest video code from marvell
07:18 dbsx biker: Thanks, I was dreaming of one kernel with all fixes. One more question, do you have the mv_cesa stuff all sorted?
07:19 cbxbiker61 refresh my memory, what was the latest problem with mv_cesa?
07:20 cbxbiker61 that diagonal line? ... i don't have a fix for that
07:22 dbsx Not sure of the mv_cesa status (my memory fails), I believe it was mostly working but that there were various issues with openssl and an available feature that was not implemented. I would need to search forum.
07:23 cbxbiker61 well my kernel's all behave nicely with hardware crypt
07:23 cbxbiker61 they pass all of the openssl tests
07:23 dbsx cool, I will download and see how it goes. I will report back.
07:37 dbsx one last question biker: does linux-3.5-CuBox.patch incorporate all of your partches?
07:45 cbxbiker61 local patches35cubox='linux-3.5-CuBox.patch linux-3.5-kirkwood-orion_uart0_init.patch linux-3.5-ZSMalloc-ZCache-arm.patch 201-bump-galcore-to-3184.patch 202-bump-galcore-to-3184-1.patch linux-3.0-SDIO-micro-AP.patch linux-3.0.4-LIBERTAS-WEXT_PRIV.patch 0003-Initial-defconfig.patch sheeva-3-leds.patch 0002-8688-SDIO-micro-AP-suppo-3.2.patch linux-3.5.7-remove-skb-recycling.patch'
07:45 cbxbiker61 that the full list in order
07:51 dbsx thank you very much biker
07:57 dbsx biker: (last of the last questions) do you have the patch at http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=910
08:21 ralix morning again...
09:46 Thirsty exit
15:02 ascent Howdy!
15:02 ascent So, apart from the 2GB RAM vs 1GB RAM, are the cubox and the cubox pro the same when comparing specs?
15:10 rabeeh ascent: yes. identical except the memory size
15:10 ascent okay.
15:10 ascent thanks rabeeh
15:11 rabeeh np :)
15:11 ascent You have one, I guess"?
15:12 rabeeh i have both.
15:12 rabeeh i'm from SolidRun
15:12 ascent Do you notice difference in 1080p playback smoothness?
15:13 ascent Oh, okay, good :-)
15:13 rabeeh for xbmc?
15:13 rabeeh it should really matter; xbmc uses half of the 1GB system anyways
15:13 ascent I saw the Cubox at a friends place and it had some problems with 1080p playback. 720 worked fine but 1080p seemed to be a bit laggy
15:13 rabeeh different applications like image processing will require the 2GB
15:13 ascent hmz
15:13 ascent So 800Mhz ought to be enough?
15:13 rabeeh which distribution?
15:14 ascent I think he runs the default ubuntu + xbmc
15:14 rabeeh oh; that one is really really old
15:14 ascent oh geekbox he says
15:14 rabeeh maybe you can ask him to upgrade to latest builds of geexbox?
15:14 rabeeh ok
15:14 rabeeh which build?
15:15 rabeeh is he trying to stream? or the file is local?
15:15 ascent some old build, he admits ... and, streaming from nas
15:15 ascent prolly smb
15:16 ascent Myself, I'm just looking for something to run smooth 1080p with xmbc and low overhead
15:16 rabeeh which 1080p ? h.264? any idea what the bitrate?
15:16 ascent and I really like the cubox for it's size and powerconsumption
15:16 ascent So, sorry, not too many details available.
15:17 rabeeh ok. not a problem
15:17 ascent What's your experience with 1080p yourself?
15:17 ascent is it able to handle anything you throw at it ?
15:17 rabeeh maybe he can try a newer build of geexbox? it's constantly being optimized
15:17 ascent I understand.
15:17 rabeeh 1080p plays well for me; i tried content up to 20Mbps on TCP streams and works perfectly well
15:17 ascent streaming?
15:17 rabeeh on local drive I used bluray quality
15:17 ascent oh, yes..
15:18 rabeeh TCP stream is streaming. I typically use HTTP but in your case you would be using SMB
15:18 ascent local, being usb?
15:18 rabeeh usb
15:18 ascent ok.
15:18 ascent and hardware decoding with xbmc works out of the box?
15:18 ascent I'm looking for something I can just setup and use without too much tweaking
15:20 rabeeh well.. maybe you can try that with your friend.
15:20 rabeeh download the 'cubox installer' - http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_Installer
15:20 rabeeh and try it out; it provides you geexbox hardfp devel builds\
15:21 rabeeh and try it out; it provides you geexbox hardfp devel builds
15:21 ascent how about OpenELEC? Have you tried that on CuBoX?
15:28 rabeeh yes.
15:28 rabeeh openelec will be supported in sometime
15:28 rabeeh hopefully soon
15:29 ascent Cool :-) But, for now, do you consider it a plug-and-play mediaplayer? Like, unpack, install XBMC, and go?
15:36 ascent Oh, cool, I can borrow my friends cubox for a while
15:55 rabeeh ascent: with the CuBox installer, installing new things are much faster. please give it a try and get us some feedback
15:56 ascent I will. Wil that wikipage be the first thing I need to install the most up2date software for it?
15:58 rabeeh for geexbox yes; on every build of a geexbox the installer will give you a list that you can choose the latest.
15:58 rabeeh the intention is getting as much as possible things to the installer
15:59 ascent And is geexbox the way to go or should I put something else on it for HTPC purposes?
16:13 rabeeh there are quite few choices today; please browser the forums on wiki for that
16:13 rabeeh if you want xbmc only, the geexbox and xilkax are to choose
16:13 ascent okay.. I'll try to decide between those two
16:13 rabeeh if you want xbmc only as application then there is Arch that has support for that
16:13 Kiranos xilkax that is xbmc ontop of kde?
16:13 rabeeh yes
16:14 ascent I want it as slick and compact as possible
16:14 rabeeh cbxbiker61 on the channels i the main maintainer
16:14 Kiranos geekbox is boot instanly to xbmc
16:14 Kiranos ascent: I think geekbox is for you
16:14 Kiranos I should start typing it geexbox, dont know why I always see it as geekbox
16:15 ascent okay, so, geexbox it is, thanks kiranos and rabeeh :)
17:36 punkt regarding to https://github.com/laanwj/etna_viv will be some people @FOSDEM this year?
17:48 suihkulokki punkt: I'll be at fosdem
19:56 cbxbiker61 dbsx, no i didn't have that patch, i'll add it and make sure it works
