| 00:08 | mhoney | is it possible to turn off the infrared light? |
| 00:09 | Punkley_Chillin | it isn't infrared |
| 00:09 | Punkley_Chillin | it is just a LED |
| 00:10 | Punkley_Chillin | it has a infrared reciever |
| 00:10 | mhoney | ahh, can it be turned off? |
| 00:10 | mhoney | guess I could get the solder sniffer out ;) |
| 00:10 | Punkley_Chillin | there is a fre forum threads on that. |
| 00:10 | dbsx | mhoney: depends on your kernel |
| 00:11 | mhoney | thanks for the tip. ill search the forum |

| 00:23 | mhoney | new xubuntu doesnt seem to work... shows a penguin then dies ;( |
| 00:28 | mhoney | nm, I just wasnt being patient enough |
| 00:30 | mhoney | now to get synergy installed ;) |
| 00:32 | mhoney | so cubox isnt in the sudoers file. |
| 00:42 | mhoney | forums to the rescue again ;) |
| 00:49 | mhoney | boots up MUCH faster when it can find ethernet ;) |
| 01:00 | mhoney | what would be a good test to compare speeds with a raspberry pi? |
| 01:21 | dbsx | 10:49:15 AM - mhoney: boots up MUCH faster when it can find ethernet ;) |
| 01:21 | dbsx | make sure eth0 is hotplug |
| 02:08 | Coburn | compiled my own 3.8.0rc4 kernel |
| 02:08 | Coburn | doesn't boot |
| 02:08 | Coburn | OK |
| 02:08 | Coburn | Starting kernel ... |
| 02:08 | Coburn | Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. |

| 04:56 | DHowett | hey; what --with-cpu should we use for the armada 510? i'm thinking --with-arch=armv7-a at the very least. |
| 04:56 | DHowett | (I tend to prefer specialized compilers over generic ones to whom I must feed arguments :P) |
| 04:57 | DHowett | s/we/i/ |
| 05:17 | Coburn | DHowett: look at the /proc/cpuinfo |
| 05:17 | DHowett | Coburn: ah, yes. I wish I had a CuBox :( |
| 05:17 | Coburn | Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l) |
| 05:17 | Coburn | No v7a |
| 05:17 | DHowett | I'm trying to get everything prepared beforehand. |
| 05:18 | DHowett | good call. thank you. |
| 05:18 | Coburn | Anything else? |
| 05:18 | DHowett | That'd be it. Thanks! :) |
| 05:22 | Coburn | Grrrr |
| 05:22 | Coburn | Why do you not boot, 3.8rc4 kernel? |
| 05:23 | Coburn | [10:53:58] [10:00:38] what would be a good test to compare speeds with a raspberry pi? |
| 05:23 | Coburn | Do not compare cubox with r-pi |
| 05:23 | Coburn | one is arm v6 |
| 05:23 | Coburn | one is arm v7 |
| 05:23 | Coburn | so the answer is simple |
| 05:23 | Coburn | one is a different ball game |
| 07:39 | ralix | morning |
| 08:56 | punkt | Coburn|Away: i have seen something in the armada 510 datasheet, that the cubox has "Sheeva TM" core, and is arm v6 or arm v7 capable, depending on the hardware setup |
| 10:56 | RandomPixels | hello, is there a "right" order to connect cables to cubox ? :) |
| 10:58 | rabeeh | RandomPixels: there isn't |
| 10:58 | rabeeh | which cables are you struggling with? |
| 10:58 | RandomPixels | none, just had a problem |
| 10:58 | RandomPixels | my geexbox build failed to boot after a restart |
| 11:00 | RandomPixels | on the tv donwstairs is shows the linux large boot penguin and some scan lines (apparently there are some incompatibilities between my tv and cubox) |
| 11:00 | RandomPixels | so i tried on my computer monitor (has hdmi) |
| 11:00 | RandomPixels | and keeps saying "no signal" |
| 11:00 | RandomPixels | so i tried to start from square one: cables |
| 11:01 | RandomPixels | brb, rebooting to ubuntu (means offline) |
| 11:46 | RandomPixels | i think i found the problem |
| 12:15 | rabeeh | what was it? |
| 12:18 | RandomPixels | i probably have done something wrong |
| 12:18 | RandomPixels | main idea is geexbox didn't boot |
| 12:18 | RandomPixels | now i have another problem when switching resolutions |
| 12:18 | RandomPixels | it only displays on 1/4 screen |
| 12:19 | RandomPixels | in 720p |
| 22:07 | RandomPixels | hello |
| 22:49 | ninny | hey all, I'm having trouble connecting over serial |
| 22:49 | ninny | I've done it before |
| 22:49 | ninny | but now i get an unable to connect error |
| 22:50 | ninny | unable to open serial port |
| 22:52 | ninny | everything should be the same as last time, but no biscuits |
| 23:02 | ninny | I'm installing from the tv at the minute |
| 23:02 | ninny | but I haven't had much luck in the past |
| 23:02 | ninny | can't work out why serial is now no longer working |
| 23:04 | Coolgeek | the speed or the COM port is correct ? |
| 23:08 | ninny | I didn't have to do anything last time so I think it's fine |
| 23:08 | ninny | just installing debian now |
| 23:08 | ninny | if it works it doesn't matter |
| 23:08 | ninny | had issues with ubuntu before |
| 23:08 | ninny | but had archlinux working |
| 23:09 | Coolgeek | ninny: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Cubox_serial_port |
| 23:09 | ninny | yeah that's what I've been following |
| 23:10 | dmitrijus | read the source code :) |
| 23:11 | dmitrijus | oh sorry, wrong channel :( |
| 23:20 | ninny | let me restart hold on |
| 23:27 | ninny | dmesg | grep ttyUSB |
| 23:27 | ninny | [ 143.894467] usb 2-2.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 |
| 23:27 | ninny | putty -serial -sercfg 115200,8,n,1 ttyUSB0 |
| 23:28 | ninny | *unable to open serial port |
| 23:28 | ninny | any ideas? |
| 23:44 | mhoney | are you sure its usb0? |
