00:27 Coburn Random idea: Can we get Windows 98 running on the CuBox?
00:28 Coburn Hint: QEMU
00:28 Coburn Let's find out!
00:35 bencoh wtf.
00:36 bencoh are you *really* willing to do this ?
01:02 Coburn bencoh: CuBox. The little PC that can do Windows 98!
01:02 Coburn Next on the list is WINDOWS VISTA!
01:22 Punkley go for it Coburn :)
01:23 Coburn QEMU is in Wheezy repos.
01:23 Coburn So even better. Lemme prep another uSD and we'll get the party started
01:24 joshc Coburn: you forgot Windows ME
01:24 Coburn lol
01:24 Coburn I have that running on a Compaq Pentium Pro 166Mhz PC
01:24 Coburn at home with 32MB of RAM... sluggish, lol
01:52 Punkley if you do it make sure you get a video up :)
02:39 Coburn [10:52:13] if you do it make sure you get a video up :)
02:39 Coburn I'll make it a sales pitch
02:39 Coburn This is the CuBox.
02:40 Coburn And this is Windows 98.
02:40 Coburn :P
02:42 Coburn Does anyone know if I need to use a special driver for Xorg?
02:42 Coburn Or do I just use fbdev
02:42 Coburn I thought I needed to use dovefb
03:18 Coburn man
03:18 Coburn this looks like a mess... @_@
03:18 Coburn Methinks I should make a script to automate all this compiling...
03:31 Coburn rabeeh should make a buildbot for the cubox packages. this stuff here: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_Drivers_rebuild
03:31 Coburn Having to recompile for armhf
03:36 Coburn what
03:36 Coburn error: xserver-xorg-dev needs to be installed
03:36 Cobur 03:36 * Coburn flips a table
03:40 Coburn that's installed but
03:45 Punkley there is a 12.10 xubuntu install now also.
03:45 Punkley I did that 2 weeks ago
03:49 Coburn But I want /debian/
03:49 Coburn I don't want Ubuntu!
03:49 Coburn Unless...
03:50 Coburn Punkley: does that install use armhf and also galcore?
03:53 Punkley yes
03:53 Punkley only thing it doesn't have is gstreamer.
03:53 Punkley but it has everything to make dovefb work
03:53 Coburn Sweetas
03:54 Coburn Imma try it out
03:54 Coburn Maybe I can strip out the junk
04:04 Coburn Punkley: WHERE'S THIS INSTALL
04:05 Coburn OOPS CAPS
04:05 Coburn it's not in the cubox installe
04:05 Coburn r
04:05 Coburn is it manual install to uSD?
04:07 Coburn rabeeh: bug in cubox installer
04:08 Coburn rabeeh: if you choose cancel at the select distro page, it continues on
04:08 Coburn meaning that the script gets dodgy data and likely won't know what to install. it should break and say 'install aborted'
04:14 Punkley let me know how my image is.
04:15 Punkley (u might want to set a root password on it also)
04:16 Coburn Punkley: download link?
04:16 Punkley its on the installer
04:22 Coburn Punkley: can't see it

04:26 Coburn you're the 12.10 install
05:15 Punkley hmmm
05:15 Punkley he told me he added it
05:16 Punkley http://mirror.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox/distros/ubuntu/cubox-ubuntu-core-12.10-xubuntu-armhf-r1.tar.xz
05:16 Punkley create a ext4 partition
05:16 Punkley untar that
05:17 Coburn okay
05:17 Coburn done
05:18 Coburn installed the core and also installed xorg
05:18 Coburn let's test it...
05:18 Punkley that works also
05:18 Coburn X
05:18 Coburn oops, wrong window
05:19 Coburn X: command not found
05:19 Punkley looks like your dist.list is old for some reason
05:19 Punkley in the installer
05:19 Coburn what version you use/
05:19 Coburn I use v0.2
05:52 Coburn crap, Punkley
05:53 Coburn (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0xc
05:53 Coburn from xorg
05:53 Coburn will need to manually install. >_>
05:53 Punkley really
05:53 Punkley oh reboot
05:53 Punkley it did that to me and then worked the next time.
06:08 Coburn Punkley: Fatal server error:
06:08 Coburn Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
06:09 Coburn Loading extension GLX
06:09 Coburn (EE)
06:09 Coburn (EE) Backtrace:
06:09 Coburn (EE)
06:09 Coburn (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0xc
06:19 Punkley grrrrr
06:19 Punkley i wonder why it is doing that for you,
07:52 Coburn Punkley: do note that it is only doing that on a headless 12.10 + X driver
07:52 Coburn I will try your image.
08:12 ralix morning
12:03 diget hi
16:49 v0n hello
16:49 v0n are all the drivers free for the cubox?
16:50 `jpi rabeeh: thanks
16:50 `jpi the cubox has been shipped :)
16:51 v0n I mean the linux driver, for sure
17:16 v0n ok ok.
17:49 neofob just a thought of the day: with 2GB of ram on the new CuBox, we can mount /tmp on tmpfs and cp source over to compile
