02:29 kicker22004 Hey is anyone online?
07:00 jnettlet kicker22004, yes people are around, but are spread all over the world. If you have a question just ask it and someone will get back to you.
07:31 kicker22004 Ok on the HB is the ssd considered sda or what?
07:54 jnettlet kicker22004, generally yes it is assigned /dev/sda
09:41 kicker22004 Thanks Jnettlet, I don't have board in my hands so it's hard to work on it :P
09:44 Catwich Greetings kicker22004
09:44 Catwich so malte was able to get you reinterested
09:46 kicker22004 Yes lol
09:47 kicker22004 and man do I have questions lol
09:51 Catwich like I told you in that old PM, I intend to make sure the tool gets added to images soon(TM)
09:51 Catwich did you look at that packaging work I did?
09:52 kicker22004 Yeah, it's just over my head as far as maintaining the pacakge stuff. But I can work the script...
09:52 Catwich hmm
09:52 Catwich I dont think so, and will give a tiny intriduction right now:
09:53 Catwich only files you probably care about are debian/changelog, debian/control, debian/cuboxi-config.install
09:53 kicker22004 like I said.. you get me a build script, I can get it built in easy
09:53 Catwich the ,install one is jsut that, it contains instructiosn to copy files to the filesystem in their right folder
09:53 kicker22004 and if your using github to update it via a pkg...then easy
09:53 Catwich okay
09:53 Catwich you git clone my repository
09:53 Catwich then oyu run
09:53 Catwich git-buildpackage
09:53 Catwich done
09:54 kicker22004 ok because i'v been renaming all links in my github today
09:54 kicker22004 removingcubox
09:54 Catwich that wont update the repositories, but I'll get to that point later
09:54 kicker22004 yeah but you can update if I update my github correct?
09:54 Catwich yes
09:54 Catwich I should be able to merge it
09:54 Catwich however, alternative solution:
09:54 Catwich you copy my debain folder
09:55 kicker22004 Back when i added it to Igor's build... I had it pulling from my github that way it was up to day
09:55 kicker22004 date
09:55 Catwich and update the name in control and changelog
09:55 Catwich and ofc, the stuff in the .install file
09:55 Catwich for updates, I intend to set up a service that triggers a rebuild whenever you git push
09:55 Catwich that is possible, I just didnt have the time to look into how its done yet
09:56 Catwich apt will then take care of the rest
09:56 kicker22004 yeah...next problem lol
09:57 kicker22004 I started this project to learn about Bash scripts. I never truly learned github lol. I just work on my main machine then dump it over... no clue on pushing lol
09:57 Catwich umm
09:57 Catwich okay
09:57 Catwich git push is how you get your commits to the remote git repo
09:58 kicker22004 ok your cubox-config.install can be cleared other then motd and bootsplash.. i'm clearing out all the adds to start with
10:04 Catwich also
10:04 Catwich debian/changelog
10:04 Catwich is the file where you can put your news
10:04 Catwich if you like to
10:04 Catwich and, in this file the package version is specified
10:04 Catwich I jsut used "1"
10:05 Catwich but you can choose whatever you like
10:05 Catwich do you already have a commit on your github account?
10:05 Catwich cause then I could merge your changes and submit them back to your repo
10:05 Catwich with the packaging
10:07 kicker22004 again not a huge understanding of github...I need to do some learning. but if you mean have i changed anything..then yes.
10:08 Catwich learn about "git"
10:08 Catwich not github
10:08 Catwich github is just hosting a web client to it
10:08 kicker22004 yeah
10:08 Catwich got the link available to your repo?
10:09 kicker22004 i think i only made one attempt at learning it and said..meh i'll just go on the site and add/remove from my files
10:09 Catwich nvm, found it
10:09 Catwich Oh
10:09 kicker22004 https://github.com/kicker22004/imx6-config
10:09 Catwich when you wrote "Pending Delete...not sure it's going to be needed"
10:09 Catwich that was a commit
10:09 kicker22004 all i did was remove things
10:09 kicker22004 yeah but isn't it the same the way i've been doing it
10:10 Catwich https://github.com/kicker22004/imx6-config/commits/master
10:10 Catwich it is the same
10:10 Catwich technically
10:10 Catwich just you got many many small steps you could have done in one
10:10 kicker22004 lol that's how i do things
10:10 kicker22004 i'm a WIP
10:10 kicker22004 as i learn things i change things
10:11 Catwich I could probably turn my changes into a real pullrequest
10:11 Catwich so you just need to click accept on github.com
10:11 kicker22004 in fact i'm looking at this script and had to re learn what i was doing then... i've moved on to C# and HTML5
10:11 kicker22004 ok
10:11 Catwich just tell me when you have reached a point where all files have the right name, and I'll merge it properly
10:11 kicker22004 sounds good
10:12 kicker22004 now would I beable to work in my github and let you know when to update?
10:12 kicker22004 I think i get the git...i would be adding to your repo correct? and you would have to agree to the changes
10:13 Catwich no
10:13 Catwich not correct
10:13 Catwich it doesnt matter if you work on your repo
10:13 Catwich or mine
10:13 kicker22004 ok
10:13 Catwich but it would be nice to have the packaging work in the repo you work on
10:13 kicker22004 well if you wanted to see what i did to add my build into the build script before look here
10:13 Catwich so the buildserver can directly pull from it
10:14 kicker22004 https://github.com/kicker22004/Cubox-i-Debian/commit/aa04dd9d22d85f22c8349443aff00b7a98f3cae6
10:14 kicker22004 I already had it pre-built way back on igor
10:14 kicker22004 but he denied it
10:14 Catwich I see
10:14 Catwich well I never ntoiced that script
10:14 kicker22004 I had the built script pulling my github
10:14 Catwich I ony checked your regular install script
10:15 kicker22004 yeah and there is a redundancy ther
10:15 kicker22004 the standalone folder is the meat
10:15 Catwich IMO no install script is required
10:15 Catwich if there is a package automatically built
10:15 kicker22004 yeah i know
10:15 Catwich also, I tried to push igor to put his work into packages
10:15 Catwich not done yet
10:16 kicker22004 like i said i'm not sure about that but all you should need is the one file then
10:16 Catwich if you make it that simple
10:16 kicker22004 i'll remove owncloud/minecraft/
10:16 Catwich I see
10:17 kicker22004 then all you need is the imx6-config_standalone
10:17 Catwich but it doesnt really matter packaging-wise
10:17 kicker22004 I think i've learned enough to add the others into that one script
10:17 Catwich you can have all the files in the world as far as I am concerned
10:17 Catwich :)
10:17 kicker22004 if you look at my github you can see me learning better ways
10:18 Catwich me too
10:18 Catwich the #!dh-exec is new
10:18 Catwich in the .install file
10:18 Catwich pretty awesome actually
10:18 kicker22004 but i'm in need of some help as to allow users to pick a mount point to boot from...mine is currently set to sda1/sdcard hardcoded with no wipe
10:19 Catwich I am not sure I understand
10:19 Catwich you had a functionality that would boot from external harddisk/ssd by default?
10:20 kicker22004 yes it would clone your current system to say a usb... then you had the option to pick your boot sda or sdcard
10:20 kicker22004 I put some work into that script lol
10:21 kicker22004 worked great for testing without erasing your main system
10:21 Catwich I see
10:21 Catwich I might suggest to not have a mount point picked
10:21 Catwich but just a disk
10:22 Catwich and then always choose partition 1
10:22 kicker22004 yeah the dh-exec is for build time
10:22 Catwich and upodate uEnv.txt accordingly
10:22 Catwich dh-exec is for dynamic substitution
10:22 Catwich the original debian *.install files where a list of
10:22 Catwich files and destination folder
10:22 kicker22004 well that's kind of what it would do for you
10:22 Catwich with dh-exec you can also do renaming
10:22 Catwich even to build-time variables
10:22 kicker22004 yeah
10:22 kicker22004 used it on igor's build script
10:23 kicker22004 well the sad part is all of the .install can go.... almost
10:23 Catwich thats no problem
10:23 Catwich I got plenty of packages to maintain
10:23 kicker22004 now with the motd...you sugested removing it?
10:23 Catwich so I'll find use for it
10:23 Catwich yes
10:24 Catwich it conflicts with anotehr package
10:24 kicker22004 why so?
10:24 Catwich init-scripts provides the ssame file
10:24 Catwich and apt will hate you
10:24 kicker22004 ok well I would use the motd to remide users of the script
10:24 Catwich is ther another possible file?
10:24 Catwich or sth
10:24 Catwich there msut be one
10:25 kicker22004 well we could have the build script just add the line
10:25 Catwich no
10:25 kicker22004 humm
10:25 Catwich because when I tunr it into .deb
10:25 Catwich it contains teh file
10:25 Catwich and wants to oevrride the existing one
10:25 kicker22004 well we could make a script to run on login and echo out the line?
10:26 Catwich etc/profile.d
10:26 Catwich would that work?
10:26 kicker22004 should
10:26 kicker22004 infact good thing you said that
10:26 Catwich but I will look for another idea
10:26 kicker22004 yeah
10:26 kicker22004 the ssh-first! that's a sorta must prebuild
10:27 kicker22004 um wait...maybe not
10:27 kicker22004 no i'm mixxing up old files
10:28 kicker22004 also the bootsplash... you going to use it?
10:28 kicker22004 ok well the file that must end up during build is /Build-Files/imx6-config.sh
10:29 kicker22004 that will start your first check and run the imx6-config
10:29 kicker22004 and will be removed after first run
10:29 kicker22004 humm can't i use the contribute button to make changes to your git?
10:30 Catwich I would put the bootsplash in
10:30 Catwich its a nice thing
10:30 Catwich but I havent yet tried it
10:30 Catwich because I am on a sort of incomplete workspace tehse months
10:30 kicker22004 ok because I added a simple text one to inform the user of usb boot vs sdcard boot
10:30 Catwich kicker22004, if you want to add your work to my git repo
10:30 Catwich you will have to merge
10:30 kicker22004 ok
10:31 Catwich I would spare you that for a start
10:31 Catwich and then leave you to start on something complete
10:31 kicker22004 lol into the unknown
10:32 kicker22004 well I personnaly think it's simple. just need one file from me...the pacage thing will lose me everytime
10:33 kicker22004 what is a pull request do?
10:35 kicker22004 maybe you could explain this a bit easier via a mic. Do you have a skype account?
10:37 Catwich well, I do
10:38 Catwich lemme check if it still works, and fetch some skype-compatible hardware
10:38 kicker22004 ok
10:38 Catwich (too bad they discontinued teh availability of a skype arm sdk)
10:38 kicker22004 ahh damn
10:52 Catwich PM
10:53 jnettlet Catwich, it never worked well. I was a developer on it and it is bleh. If you have Android on a Cubox/HB Skype works pretty well on there.
10:55 Catwich got an android tablet, that does the job
10:55 Catwich but it incompatible with the cabled headset of my phone
10:55 Catwich doesnt recognize the mic
10:55 Catwich (made me really mad)
10:55 kicker22004 no idea to pm on irc man
10:55 Catwich you should jsut have gotten an open tab
10:55 Catwich or sth
10:56 Catwich with my nickname on it
10:59 jnettlet Catwich, isn't your phone android? Just use that.
10:59 Catwich no
10:59 Catwich its firefoxOS
11:00 Catwich you dont get a skype app there
11:00 Catwich and sadly, not even a SIP one yet
11:00 kicker22004 you have a firefox phone!!!
11:00 kicker22004 nvr thought i'd actually know someone
11:00 Catwich lol
11:01 Catwich well, I dont know anyone
11:01 Catwich and the people at the university IT desk were quite surprised when I asked about how to connect to their wifi
11:01 Catwich which was nto supported by FFOS-1.3
11:01 kicker22004 lol I want the ubuntu phone
11:01 kicker22004 someday
21:02 Catwich To all thoese who are lsitening: I want to notify you that the gstreamer-0.10 plugins (which firefox uses for video) have finally been made to work on debian wheezy!!!
21:03 Catwich feel free to play around with it: just apt-get install gstreamer0.10-imx on your system
21:09 Humpelstilzchen gstreamer0.10 isn't that a bit old?
21:09 Humpelstilzchen btw https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gstreamer0.10-imx Sorry, your search gave no results
21:12 Humpelstilzchen hmpf, homepage is down
21:28 malte_ http://obs.gbps.io:82/BSP:/Cubox-i/Debian_Wheezy/
21:47 Catwich Humpelstilzchen: igors images already have the repo
21:48 Catwich and, the package is not actualy part of the official debian
21:50 malte_ igor got an old repo @ his images
21:56 Humpelstilzchen never really used igors, just debootstrapped
23:18 Zaitzev Is anyone here running Emby (prev. Mediabrowser) on Kodi on their Cubox (Openelec)?
