03:08 mhoney nothing in particular, it wasn't that powerful hehe
03:08 _unreal_ depends on how you use it

03:08 mhoney irssi?
03:08 _unreal_ uhhh no xchat
03:09 mhoney is there an accelerated video driver for v1?
03:10 _unreal_ that depends on what you mean by accelerated
03:10 _unreal_ it has the hardware its the software that is lacking :(
03:10 _unreal_ opengl mainly which pissis me off! greatly
03:10 _unreal_ this cubox is runing kali
03:10 _unreal_ with an external harddrive
03:11 _unreal_ external esata
03:11 mhoney I have a cubox i4 pro but it gets flaky after beeing on for a couple hours... think it overheats
03:11 _unreal_ really?
03:11 _unreal_ one sec
03:12 mhoney case design is kinda bad. not even eny vent holes
03:14 _unreal_ mhoney,

03:15 mhoney nice
03:15 _unreal_ http://pastebin.com/dUcF2b1h
03:15 _unreal_ rock solid
03:15 _unreal_ full gui
03:16 mhoney the commodore 64 of sbc's
03:16 _unreal_ http://pastebin.com/HzZKqETu
03:16 _unreal_ na thats the original pi
03:16 _unreal_ at least the cubox has a gig of ram
03:16 _unreal_ there are a lot of builds for it, you just have to find them
03:17 _unreal_ theres opensuse, kali, altlinux, debian, ubuntu 12, ipfire, just to name a few
03:17 _unreal_ they are NOT on the solid-run website
03:19 mhoney does marvell still make an soc?
03:19 _unreal_ and there are some others, there is one that has the original image for the first gen cubox but I have not had time to futzt around with the image. its got flashers etc.. setup to auto futch with the onboard flash and points to web links that are long gone driving me crazy. I want to dump the image and boot it because its supposed to be a dual boot ubuntu/android 2.2 " " but I have yet to play with it
03:19 _unreal_ many
03:19 _unreal_ I just dont know why there is no softwqare support for opengl even though there is hardware
03:19 _unreal_ oh there is also geexbox, the latest one that is very kept upto date wont boot, keeps hanging on bluetooth?
03:20 _unreal_ and I dont know how to stop the bt issue on boot
03:20 mhoney i wonder if solidrun will ever make another cubox style sequel
03:20 _unreal_ not likely
03:20 _unreal_ not to mention the original cubox is the only one that is not locked
03:20 mhoney locked?
03:20 _unreal_ the others have capacity limits
03:20 _unreal_ the original cubox does not
03:21 _unreal_ hd's etc...
03:21 mhoney how can they limit the hd capacity?
03:21 _unreal_ dont know
03:23 _unreal_ if you do some searching you'll find an ubuntu 13.04 but I have yet to find the real image file all of the links are "dead"
03:24 mhoney i have some old debian images I thknk
03:24 _unreal_ ubuntu does build an armHF image that is suposed to work on it that is current but its the base and missing the main boot info
03:25 _unreal_ I can help to a degree, sadly my linux is weak. my know how is strong
03:25 _unreal_ no one has published a finished image of a current build of ubuntu or anything else really except for kali and geexbox
03:26 _unreal_ annoiing to say the least
03:26 mhoney guess thats how they get us to upgrade
03:27 _unreal_ solid-run treated there first box like microsoft treated there first xbox, use and drop like a ROCK
03:27 _unreal_ then erease
03:27 _unreal_ erase
03:27 mhoney thats how it is with all technology
03:28 _unreal_ fuckers
03:28 _unreal_ yet they still support there broke ass xbox 360 after 10 years
03:29 _unreal_ how are you at linux?
03:34 mhoney ive been doing linux since the 90's
03:34 mhoney slackware was my first distro
03:34 mhoney how bout you?
03:36 mhoney cubox 1 would make a nice little owncloud server
03:38 mhoney with 1gb ram it might almost run iredmail
03:38 mhoney znc bouncer
03:44 _unreal_ ahh well, been a user not a power user
03:45 _unreal_ I know my way around but if I try to do a custom build or compile something, I'm hunting for answers
03:48 _unreal_ mhoney, http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/geexbox-xbmc-armada5xx-cubox/ thats the latest
03:49 _unreal_ but it wont boot for me keeps hanging on bt
03:57 _unreal_ ?
08:39 vpeter rabeeh: Does solidrun has a problem with delivering HummingBoard's in a little more than few piceces at a time? Seems my friend has real issue with his order :(
09:16 jnettlet vpeter, there shouldn't be any problem. There was a brief delay when we changed fulfillment facilities
09:16 jnettlet vpeter, the enclosures have had a bit of a delay
09:17 vpeter Seems so.
09:17 jnettlet have them email sales or support for an update
09:18 vpeter yes, it is clear now - he already got a response little back.
11:02 vpeter jnettlet: You coulkd probbaly tell me if imx6 project should use gzip as before? https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/696#issuecomment-244694053
11:07 jnettlet vpeter, sure let me take a look.
11:11 jnettlet vpeter, in general lz4 is the best compression vs decompression speed even on ARM.
11:12 jnettlet possibly not on the Raspberry Pi, but ARMv6 and ARMv7 are very different beasts
11:25 vpeter Good then.
11:25 vpeter thanks
14:04 Exaga malte_: HIIIIII :D
14:04 Exaga how are you???
14:05 Exaga Artox: Hallo, wie geht es dir?
14:34 Artox Greetings Exaga
14:35 Artox I got kind of a temper right now, opensuse was bugging me really bad
14:37 Artox I thought: hey tumbleweed was stable for the last few months, why not switch to it on my desltop
14:37 Artox only to find f2fs is still not properly supported
15:10 mhoney morning
16:09 mhoney hey _unreal_
16:15 _unreal_ hi
16:16 _unreal_ I'm having massive palm to face moments right now, loading fresh win7 copys and doing the win10 upgrades on to laptops currently.... so I can have the upgrade then going back to linux on them
16:17 _unreal_ two
16:18 mhoney trust me, there is nothing good about win10 over win7
16:18 mhoney I rolled back all my machines to win7
16:18 Artox Well, except for when 7 breaks
16:19 _unreal_ I know, its just LTS support
16:19 _unreal_ I only use windows for the quadcopter software for the flight controllers
16:19 _unreal_ considering that thats the only software most of it has been created for :/
16:20 _unreal_ lenovo
16:20 _unreal_ haaa worng keyboard
16:20 _unreal_ ok...
16:28 _unreal_ I just really want to get the win10 free registration then I'm happy :)
16:33 _unreal_ there just started the update process for my netbook now
16:33 _unreal_ sigh......
16:33 _unreal_ this is going to take some time
16:34 _unreal_ so I'm not sure what keeps my cubox from getting past the bluetooth driver or modual loading stage on geexbox, and no one in geexbox talks
