13:58 jnettlet purch, works great as far as I know.

19:49 mal- anyone tried android on cuboxi
19:51 coinsen yup
19:51 coinsen and it crashed :D
19:51 mal- :)
19:59 satellit mal- I got a stock microSD with the CUbox-i4P and it worked fine
19:59 satelli 19:59 * satellit android
20:01 satellit I only used it for a short time as I like the Ubuntu on the wiki better on a 16 GB microSD
20:02 satellit write it with Win2Diskmanager and 7-Zip to decompress in M$ 8.1
20:03 mal- jep
20:05 satellit I tried debian but no networking..: /
20:23 kaipee satellit does everything work fine with the Ubuntu?
20:23 kaipee hardware acceleration and such
20:29 satellit Kaipee except that it has small screen resolution. minimal 640x.. but networkeing and wireless seem fine
20:31 satelli 20:31 * satellit testing android atm....I am unfamiliar with the interface so muddling arround but google mail and browser seem fine and clock set correctly
20:31 satelli 20:31 * satellit first time I have played with it...
20:32 kaipee satellit you can't adjust the screen res?
20:33 kaipee satellit have you tried Arch? I'm planning on checking Arch this week, wanna see if all the driver modules are working correct and if it has hardware acceleration yet
20:37 satellit I do not know arch....I test for fedora (sugarlabs) so mainly f20 (rawhide)
20:38 satellit ubuntu only seems to have one resolution...
20:38 satellit lo
20:38 satellit f21 (rawhide)*
20:50 kaipee satellit have you got fedora running on it? and does everything work?
20:51 zuse__ hi
20:51 zuse__ i have a cubox-i 4 but does not get it booting.
20:52 zuse__ i made and SD card with geekbox, and put it into the device. But after powering it (keyboard, hdmi tested with a pi, power adapter is from solid run) i do not see anything on the screen. The only sign of life is the red LED in the SPDIF. I saw an front LED in some videos, but never saw it on my device.
20:52 zuse__ does the cubox-i display something without an SD card?
20:53 davorin nope
20:53 davorin no front led = can't read boot loader from microsd card
20:54 davorin if you put the sd card into your pc, do you see the boot partition being mounted?
20:54 satellit kaipee: I am using a custom f20 Schoolserver (XSCE) that we are testing for One Laptop Per Child (Haiti)
20:54 davorin it's a windows partition
20:54 zuse__ ok. so right now no sign of a bricked device :-)
20:54 davorin i've seen cases when the sd card is not inserted properly it won't boot.
20:55 davorin you prepared the card under linux?
20:55 satellit we are testing the CuBox-i4P as a potential server
20:56 davorin what do you see if you do a "frisk /dev/sdb" or whatever device it is under linux for the sd card?
20:56 zuse__ davorin: i tried the make-sd skript from geekbox. right now i am dd'ing the 20131212 img from solid-run to my sd card
20:56 davorin s/frisk/fdisk/
20:56 davorin make-sdcard /dev/sdb geexbox-blah cubox-i ?
20:56 zuse__ yes
20:56 davorin okay..
20:57 davorin tried removing and reinserting the card?
20:57 satellit davorin: I use m$ 8.1 with Win32Diskmangager and 7-Zip to expand first works nicely
20:57 davorin or another sd card?
20:57 zuse__ davorin: several times ...
20:57 zuse__ no other sd card right now
20:57 davorin so you see the win partition when you mount the sd card under windows?
20:57 davorin no windows here (o;
20:57 zuse__ all other small SD cards are in my mobile phones
20:58 zuse__ davorin: my debian KDE showed two partitions from geekbox on the sd
20:58 davorin sandisk or other brand?
20:58 davorin two partitions is right
20:58 zuse__ sandisk 8GByte
20:58 davorin should work...
20:58 mal- got the same
20:59 davorin had a customer retiring his i4p but turned out it was fine...same behavior
20:59 mal- perhaps turn the sd card
20:59 zuse__ mal-: it does not fit the other way round :)
20:59 mal- :)
20:59 mal- mit gen�gen kraft schon:)
20:59 davorin well..theoretically you could inject the boot code via upper usb port (o;
20:59 zuse__ mal-: gnaa :)
21:00 davorin as it turns the upper usb port into a serial port when it doesn't find boot code on sd slot
21:00 mal- try a geexbox image
21:00 mal- if ur device is workin
21:00 davorin try another cubox (o;
21:01 zuse__ davorin: it took 6 weeks to get it :-P
21:01 davorin if cubox-i4p is okay it should draw a current of around 0.18 - 0.22A without sd card
21:01 davorin hat much?
21:01 davorin that
21:01 davori 21:01 * davorin has some spare here (o;
21:02 zuse__ davorin: would be nice if "here" would be Aachen, germany :)
21:02 davorin https://shop.klingler.net/category.en.php?id=10015
21:02 davorin well.. .ch it is
21:02 davorin and sometimes i deliver via dhl across the border in waldshut
21:07 zuse__ after "dd if=geexbox-devel-20131212-r16611.cuboxi-patched-cubox-i4pro.img of=/dev/sdc" i see files, but my cubox-i 4 does not show the frontLED or a image via hdmi on my tv...
21:11 satellit I find that the red LED only lights if booting correctly
21:12 zuse__ satellit: good to know.
21:13 zuse__ trying geexbox-devel-20140321-r16989 with latest make-sd right now
21:20 satellit_e zuse__: it is possible to insert the microSD in error and miss the contacts. i remove the HDMI plug and power then insert microSD at right angles to back of case..: )
21:20 satellit_e just an idea
21:24 zuse__ satellit: thanks :-) i always remove the hdmi to be able to get the sd out.
21:25 zuse__ the microSD seems quite right in the case. the front is inline with the front of the cubox
21:25 davorin any1 seen rabeeh lately here?
21:40 mal- jep
21:40 mal- joined 30min ago
21:43 zuse_ 21:43 * zuse__ seems to have no luck with this 8GByte microSD. btw not from sandisk, but samsung
21:44 zuse__ have to buy another one tomorrow
21:45 zuse__ thanks davorin and mal- for telling me, that my box is probably not dead
21:45 davorin i've experienced severe problems with some sd cards brands, though on raspberry pi....
21:46 davorin mostly kingston cards...1 out of 3 didn't work...
21:46 davorin on pc they worked normally...
21:46 davorin i always test every cubox-i shipped with a geexbox sd card since then ;-)
21:49 zuse__ my dealer has only 8 and 16 GByte kingston on stock... hmm
21:49 kaipee when trying to update Arch kerel to latest I get uboot-cubox-i: /boot/SPL exists in filesystem
21:53 zuse__ davorin: experience with verbatim SDs?
21:53 davorin nope..only selling sandisk and sony
21:54 zuse__ thx
21:54 davorin u r welcome (o;
21:54 davorin is there already a german speaking cubox forum?
21:54 davorin think i have to set on up (o;
21:56 mal- ich bin dabei
21:56 davorin (o;
21:56 zuse__ vielleicht ist eine rubrik im solidrun forum schonmal ein anfang
21:56 mal- :) nein,ich glaub das lohnt sich nicht
21:57 zuse__ immerhin hat das schonmal ein paar user
21:57 kaipee anyone know why the Arch guide states that the latest kernel doesn't work with XBMC ?
21:57 davorin well..i would prefer different sub forums for different distributions...and applications...
21:57 davorin #define latest kernel?
21:58 davorin geex uses 3.10.30
21:58 mal- davorin: i talk with rabeeh about sub forums....
21:58 mal- but too much "clickin"
22:02 davorin well..thanks...
