01:35 RandomPixels hello
02:33 dung very interesting this new comparison :)
02:33 dung not really
03:33 dung i see the mess in the db, and i didn't want clear the history. the welcome page as backup happend by accident. i changed back because of the redirect link below the title.
03:35 dung i wanted welcome as title, but without redirect
03:40 dung i make too much tiny steps
03:41 dung shall i remove the kerneÃl table?
03:42 dung i would
04:21 dmitrijus can you show me a link to that kernel table
04:21 dmitrijus ?
04:30 dung of course http://solid-run.com/Linux :)
04:31 dung oh;
04:31 dung of course http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Linux :)
04:32 dung kbd
04:32 dmitrijus hm
04:32 dmitrijus i see no table :(
04:32 dmitrijus oh
04:32 dmitrijus wait
04:32 dmitrijus you mean the one in the right corner?
04:33 dung shoulder?
04:34 dung aha
04:34 dmitrijus shoulder?
04:34 dmitrijus well
04:34 dmitrijus i think that table should have it's own page
04:34 dmitrijus with
04:34 dmitrijus kernel versions, authors nicknames, and that not :)
04:35 dmitrijus and pointers to git sources or patchsets
04:37 dung wow
04:38 dmitrijus but a small one like that is just useless
04:40 dung effective - i thought static libraries have no dependecies
04:45 dung the gfx drivers depend on libc, etc.
04:45 dung directfb is also hard to understand
04:47 dung it is on its own, more with proprietary Ãparts
04:51 dung sorry, wrong window
04:51 dung :)
04:52 dmitrijus :D
05:00 Coburn No wonder why he talks about stuff randomly
05:00 Coburn he doesn't check the window!
05:01 dbsx anyone else have a problem with uboot seeing stuff in the second USB port?
05:04 dbsx I cant boot from the second port, Linux sees it ok
05:04 dbsx but not uboot
05:12 Coburn dbsx: can't confirm, CuBox is powered down
05:13 Coburn does it time out or anything?
05:15 Coburn dbsx: CONFIRMED
05:15 Coburn Same bug as yours
05:15 Coburn usb port below top one: scanning bus for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found
05:16 Coburn usb port at top: scanning bus for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
05:16 Coburn rabeeh: time to #fixit
05:22 dbsx Coburn: thanks
05:24 dbsx coburn: maybe it would be better if it did not even look at the second port, so plug drives you dont want to boot from (or have uboot wait a day) into the second usb
05:25 Coburn needs a new error message:
05:26 Coburn USB Port 1 error: Hello? Hello? I cannot see you? Hello?
05:26 Coburn I bet it's something to do with the sheevaplug usb bug
05:26 dbsx me too
05:26 Coburn Just makes me wonder how crappy marvell's QC is
05:27 Coburn Or is it actually a fault of rabeeh's uBoot team?
05:27 Coburn (no offense to him, of course)
05:27 Coburn QC being quality control
05:27 dbsx methinks the uboot originally came from marvell
05:28 Coburn unless it's the marvell branch
05:28 Coburn however the manual says it runs on PowerPC
05:28 Coburn Das UBoot manual
05:29 dbsx we might be better off pursuing denx uboot (ex ajayr)
05:29 Coburn So I dunno. Let's blame marvell. They have a track record of messing things up, right? :)
05:31 Coburn ... more rain!
05:31 Coburn How convient
11:40 wumpus does anyone know about the status of ubuntu 12.04 on the cubox? is it possible to get the blob (vpu, gpu) to work on this version, or is it better to stay with 10.04 if one's planning to reverse engineering these?
12:10 jnettlet wumpus, there is work to get 12.04 up to speed. Unfortunately my main job has kept me away from the cubox for a bit.
12:10 wumpus ok, thanks, I suppose I can just install 12.04 on another card and swap them when needed
12:10 jnettlet The good news is I do have the newest Vivante drivers and an xorg driver to go with them supporting up to xorg 1.13
12:11 wumpus nice :)
12:26 cbxbiker61 jnettlet, will you post a link to the drivers/xorg code, i just got started on porting to xorg 1.13 the other day, but if it's done i'm happy
12:26 cbxbiker61 the vivante drivers, are they newer than the drop 2 that happened 3 or so months ago?
12:36 dung you can swap from 12 to 13 and visa versa
12:37 dung undo isn't impplemented yet
12:49 purch hmm, where can I change / mount options in ubuntu 12.10?
12:50 purch fstab is empty
12:52 cbxbiker61 is it systemd?
12:53 cbxbiker61 you may find it in /etc/systemd/system/-.mount, if so
12:56 jnettlet cbxbiker61, yeah this is the latest release of vivante's code 0.8.4609...but I can't release them until we finish our image and post it. We are on pre-release 2 so very soon
12:57 purch this is all in systemd /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants $ ls rsyslog.service
12:59 purch I wanted to add noatime option to / (ext4), fstab forever and now it is gone =)
12:59 purch /etc/fstab.dfstab has my network share mounts
13:00 purch I tried to search internet, but nothing so far
13:01 jnettlet purch, for the Cubox?
13:01 purch yes
13:01 jnettlet that is probably part of your uboot script
13:01 jnettlet did you install from the net installer?
13:01 purch yes
13:02 purch and then Coburn's kernel over ubntu 12.10 core minimal
13:02 purch should have the latest uboot
13:03 jnettlet so you should have in a script in /boot called boot.txt and also a boot.scr
13:04 jnettlet you can change your root command in the boot.txt and then you need to rebuild the boot.scr image that uboot uses
13:04 jnettlet it should all be in the Cubox wiki
13:04 purch thanks
13:24 dung how secure is the installer ?
13:25 dung rebuild
13:25 dung the whole concept
13:27 dung with a mountable image i can try without reboot.
13:28 purch insaller has its own kernel that it boots and then runs a script or so
13:29 dung the installer makes suggestions, which tarball from community users
13:29 purch yes
13:29 purch it gives you choices
13:29 purch and wipes the sd card and installs the distribution image
13:29 dung i need to extract, install, reboot. after mount i can run imideatly
13:30 dung i won't implement any other medias
13:31 dung s/can/could
13:31 purch I extracted installers to a usb, put a new sd card in, connected usb stick with the installer. Boot, reboot, few clicks in the installer and I had ubuntu 12.10 core ready
13:31 purch usb stick that is
13:32 purch wiki has good information
13:36 dung virus
13:38 dung kernel and os is running. nice :)
13:41 dung i don't want to make you paranoid, but i can't check everything
13:44 dung it's the same with any binary, and source i can't read
13:49 dung it's something like dd bs=700M of=img; mkfs img
13:50 dung what a wonderful world: pick a kernel, choose a rootfs, and device/fs
13:51 dung or just run in chroot imdiatly.. over network :)
14:11 purch jnettlet: if understood correct, I have to make a modified uboot and flash it?
14:17 dung sorry, i shouted into the channel
14:44 wumpus am I correct that most of the stuff under http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox/, such as more recent vivante and vemeta drivers, are not usable on ubuntu 11.04?
14:44 wumpus if so, what ubuntu version is recommended for to use "hardfp"?
15:29 dv505 proposal for new wiki front page: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/User:505
15:29 dv505 a bit more text, and not just a collection of links
15:45 dung wumpus: the latest?
15:51 wumpus no driver compatibility problems with that?
16:20 purch dv505: only one column?
16:20 dv505 two, right? endusers & developers
16:22 purch aaa, I had some zoom in the browser -> one column
16:22 purch dynamic layout ::thumb
16:23 purch ~ 900px for two olums
16:24 dv505 yes, responsive design, not a fixed table
20:17 rmull dv505: That looks like a major improvement. I like it.
21:26 dbsx http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/User:505 looks good
21:52 purch looks good
