| 15:16 | dung | nassi playlist? |
| 15:16 | dung | alive |
| 16:43 | dung | has nobody tried the image from pepedog? |
| 16:48 | dung | ArchLinux has mkinitcpio |
| 18:51 | Coolgeek | hi |
| 18:52 | Coolgeek | do you know if uboot read symlink ? |
| 21:14 | pepedog | I thought I would be gifted a 2Gb cubox, maybe I'm not loved enough? |
| 21:30 | christianjwaite0 | hello |
| 21:30 | christianjwaite0 | I have installed ubuntu core from installer |
| 21:30 | christianjwaite0 | u-boot from v1 as yesterdays enquiery |
| 21:30 | purch | everyone on the irc channel should be gifted with one |
| 21:30 | purch | yes |
| 21:30 | christianjwaite0 | haha, hey, thanks for the tips yesterday |
| 21:30 | christianjwaite0 | unfortunately I just can't get it to launch |
| 21:31 | christianjwaite0 | must be missing something as I got archlinux working very quickly |
| 21:31 | dotarray | pepedog / purch - I'm listening ;) |
| 21:31 | christianjwaite0 | After successful installation, I take usb stick out, reboot and I get no signal (hdmi) |
| 21:31 | christianjwaite0 | nor can I ping the ip address |
| 21:32 | purch | christianjwaite0: that is ubuntu core minimal, no X no ssh nothing |
| 21:32 | purch | connect cubox with microusb-usb cable to computer |
| 21:32 | christianjwaite0 | so it has to be done through serial? |
| 21:32 | christianjwaite0 | I'm on osx and haven't had much luck with that |
| 21:32 | purch | let me see the wiki page for you |
| 21:33 | purch | install screen to osx |
| 21:34 | purch | in console: sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 |
| 21:34 | christianjwaite0 | Ok I have screen |
| 21:34 | christianjwaite0 | one sec |
| 21:35 | purch | look if osx sees cubox as ttyUSB0 |
| 21:35 | purch | connect usb to non-powered cubox |
| 21:35 | christianjwaite0 | ohh you don't power it? |
| 21:36 | purch | then fire that command and then power on cubox |
| 21:36 | christianjwaite0 | righ tok |
| 21:38 | purch | christianjwaite0: have you looked at this http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_serial_port |
| 21:38 | christianjwaite0 | yeah I'm looking at it now |
| 21:38 | purch | you might need drivers |
| 21:38 | christianjwaite0 | How do I know if I have cubox v1 or v2? |
| 21:39 | christianjwaite0 | I'm presuming v1 |
| 21:42 | christianjwaite0 | I might just have to go back to archlinux |
| 21:42 | christianjwaite0 | it wasn't that bad |
| 21:43 | christianjwaite0 | just have to work out systemd |
| 21:43 | purch | or these http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Ubuntu_installer_netboot |
| 21:43 | christianjwaite0 | instead of startup scripts |
| 21:43 | christianjwaite0 | that'll have a graphical interface yes? |
| 21:43 | purch | I used archlinux 5 years and moved to ubuntu 4 years ago |
| 21:44 | christianjwaite0 | you prefer ubuntu? |
| 21:44 | christianjwaite0 | I just don't have time or knowhow these days to spend on getting the system up and running |
| 21:44 | christianjwaite0 | I have two ubuntu based machines that run themselves ok |
| 21:44 | christianjwaite0 | and this was archlinux |
| 21:44 | christianjwaite0 | hence why I was looking at ubuntu again |
| 21:44 | purch | I prefer ubuntu |
| 21:44 | purch | archlinux needs too much time |
| 21:45 | christianjwaite0 | but it seems like I'm going to have to do a lot of work to get a headless setup working compared to archliunux |
| 21:45 | christianjwaite0 | hmmm |
| 21:45 | purch | look at that link I just gave you |
| 21:45 | christianjwaite0 | let me launch ubuntu on this mac and see if I can get the console working there |
| 21:46 | christianjwaite0 | yeah I did, but they'll have interfaces won't they>? |
| 21:47 | purch | looks like those require serial terminal too |
| 21:47 | christianjwaite0 | bah |
| 21:47 | christianjwaite0 | ok one second |
| 21:47 | christianjwaite0 | jumping to ubuntu |
| 21:50 | christianjwaite0 | Woo I'm in :) |
| 21:50 | purch | nice |
| 21:50 | christianjwaite0 | good old vmware! |
| 21:50 | christianjwaite0 | thanks for your patience |
| 21:51 | purch | look at my package list I installed and install what you need |
| 21:52 | purch | I tried to find ubuntu server default package list, but I did not find it |
| 21:52 | purch | set locale |
| 21:55 | christianjwaite0 | hmm I get no further than this in the console |
| 21:55 | christianjwaite0 | init: procps (virtual-filesystems) state changed from post-start to running |
| 21:55 | christianjwaite0 | init: Handling starting event |
| 21:55 | christianjwaite0 | just hangs after that |
| 21:58 | purch | hmm |
| 21:59 | purch | can you attach microsd to osx and muont it. Look at /etc/fstab |
| 22:03 | christianjwaite0 | ok one sec |
| 22:03 | purch | How did you install ubuntu from cubox installer? |
| 22:03 | christianjwaite0 | had to just serve dinner |
| 22:03 | purch | did you have serial connection then? |
| 22:03 | christianjwaite0 | yeah installer |
| 22:03 | christianjwaite0 | yes thats in serial connection |
| 22:08 | purch | maybe reinstall with cubox installer as ubuntu should boot after install without any hacking |
| 22:08 | christianjwaite0 | boot in serial console? |
| 22:08 | christianjwaite0 | formatted ext3 |
| 22:09 | purch | the installer makes it ext4 I think |
| 22:09 | christianjwaite0 | ok |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | yeah connected the ethernet as the first option |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | installed ubuntu |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | took usb stick out |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | rebooted |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | nothing |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | done that a few times now |
| 22:10 | purch | that's too weird |
| 22:10 | christianjwaite0 | thought it was |
| 22:11 | purch | Just like in the wiki? |
| 22:11 | purch | I used wiki instructions |
| 22:11 | christianjwaite0 | yeah |
| 22:11 | christianjwaite0 | about half a dozen times now |
| 22:12 | purch | you did resetenv; saveenv; reset in uboot console? |
| 22:12 | christianjwaite0 | after install? |
| 22:13 | christianjwaite0 | i can get to a shell in the installer |
| 22:13 | purch | after flashing uboot atleast |
| 22:13 | christianjwaite0 | was wondering if i was meant to do anything there |
| 22:13 | purch | I did it many times as testing new kernels |
| 22:14 | purch | but I think after flashing uboot is enough |
| 22:14 | christianjwaite0 | I'm doing it over hdmi in my tv |
| 22:14 | purch | but, I am out of options for you, maybe someone else can help you |
| 22:15 | christianjwaite0 | let me try it through serial in a min ute |
| 22:15 | purch | I have never had a screen in cubox :) |
| 22:15 | purch | or just learn systemd |
| 22:16 | christianjwaite0 | lol |
| 22:16 | christianjwaite0 | ill try serial now i have that working |
| 22:16 | purch | ok |
| 22:16 | purch | time to sleep now, good luck |
| 22:21 | christianjwaite0 | thank you again |
| 22:34 | christianjwaite0 | yeah I don't get a boot message |
| 22:34 | christianjwaite0 | reading /boot/u-boot.bin |
| 22:35 | christianjwaite0 | just goes straight to installer |
| 22:37 | Coolgeek | I thought I would be gifted a 2Gb cubox too :( |
| 23:38 | cbxbiker61 | i've worked out a pretty cool system for transcoding raw mpeg recordings to an x264 format that the cubox likes. |
| 23:39 | cbxbiker61 | tvheadend writes the mpeg file, then i have a post-processing script that writes a symlink into a video-encode-queue and starts comskip |
| 23:40 | cbxbiker61 | i have a python server monitoring the video-encode-queue, if it finds any entries it recursively transcodes them and then removes the symlink |
