01:32 RandomPixels hello, anyone knows a torrent client for geexbox ?
01:43 Coburn RandomPixels: Nope, no native XBMC torrent clients
01:44 RandomPixels i'm now trying to find info on transmission-daemon (which is what i really want)
01:44 RandomPixels used it when i had the shipped ubuntu, worked like a charm
01:44 RandomPixels (until i wrecked that microsd)
01:46 RandomPixels hope i can find the combination xbmc + torrent :)
01:46 RandomPixels on arm architecture :)
01:50 RandomPixels dammit, i'm back to square one :-<
01:51 dbsx for all those in search of kernel sanity and fixes, I see that rudi has added more cubox patches at http://hg.openbricks.org/openbricks/shortlog
01:52 RandomPixels question: anyone has used the Ubuntu 12.10 /
01:52 RandomPixels ?
01:53 RandomPixels how does it work in comparison with 10.04 ?
01:53 RandomPixels on 10.04 audio was buggy
01:57 RandomPixels good night guys
02:32 cbxbiker61_ http://www.xilka.com/xilka/source/VideoEncodeServer.py
02:32 cbxbiker61_ http://www.xilka.com/xilka/source/VideoToCuBox.py
02:34 cbxbiker61_ a queue based video transcode server to handle conversion to x264 for great playback on CuBox
02:35 cbxbiker61_ i have my tvheadend posprocessing script create a symlink in the video-encode-queue and the server process takes it from there
02:37 cbxbiker61_ http://www.xilka.com/xilka/source/video-encode-server.service , for auto start with systemd
04:42 Coburn [10:51:00] for all those in search of kernel sanity and fixes, I see that rudi has added more cubox patches at http://hg.openbricks.org/openbricks/shortlog
04:42 Coburn Is that a unifed kernel?
04:42 Coburn Meaning, a kernel with the best of all worlds?
04:46 dbsx xbmc has the best video kernel going. I think they are still in 3.5
04:50 Coburn Righto
04:50 Coburn Did you got the lines from me about the 3.8 rc 4 kernel I posted here, dbsx?
04:51 Coburn It compiled OK
04:51 Coburn but wouldn't boot
04:51 Coburn I'll be damned if I know why it doesn't
05:00 dbsx fdt
05:02 Coburn fdt?
05:03 Coburn And great
05:03 Coburn bricked my cubox once again
05:03 Coburn Flashed the uart file instead of damn spi flash file
05:03 Cobur 05:03 * Coburn headdesks
05:21 Coburn revival in progress
05:21 Coburn got to uboot prompt using dbsx uart bin file
05:21 Coburn gonna flash now
05:26 Coburn U-Boot 2009.08-dirty (Feb 05 2013 - 07:59:39) Marvell version: 5.4.4 NQ dbsx 0.23
05:26 Coburn Done
05:30 Coburn wow
05:30 Coburn that's a very quick boot
05:31 dbsx fw_printenv ?
05:33 Coburn one moment
05:33 dbsx apt-get install u-boot-tools
05:34 Coburn just working on cubox uSD on powerpc linux machine
05:34 Coburn replacing kernel with my good working one
05:34 dbsx k
05:35 Coburn always handy to have a spare linux machine
05:36 Coburn gah
05:37 Coburn now teraterm is being stupid
05:38 Coburn Ah, no dice dbsx, I don't have mtd things enabled in my 3.5.7 kernel
05:38 Coburn I do have that package installed though
05:38 Coburn no /dev/mtdX devices
05:40 dbsx put mtd in your kernel (see http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/3/3.5/3.5.7/release/2/cubox-3.5.7.config)
05:43 Coburn I know what option it is
05:43 Coburn lemme clean this crap up in my kernel dev folder
05:45 Coburn Damn, I've lost my 3.5.7 kernel source...
05:46 Coburn dbsx: Should I nab rabeeh's kernel sources for cubox, use bikers big patch with vanilla kernel.org 3.5.7 kernel tree or
05:46 Coburn My original kernel was based off the big biker cubox patch
05:51 dbsx ask biker the diff between his kernel and vdorst's
05:53 Coburn righto
05:54 Cobur 05:54 * Coburn pokes cbxbiker61_
05:54 Coburn Oi
06:01 Coburn just pulling down vdorst's kernel atm
12:18 RandomPixels hello
12:23 dv505 hi
12:23 dv505 if you're still looking for a torrent client for geexbox, try rtorrent
12:23 dv505 available in geexbox repos
12:23 RandomPixels did you try ubuntu 12.10 on cubox ?
12:23 dv505 no
12:24 RandomPixels i've looked for it, it's available only on the nightly builds
12:24 RandomPixels or the developer builds
12:24 RandomPixels thought ubuntu 12.10 might work better than 10.04 that shipped with cubox
12:24 RandomPixels in 10.04 vlc wouldn't open :)
12:25 dv505 see http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian/pool/main/libt/libtorrent/
12:26 dv505 there is a armhf build
12:26 dv505 two folders up, go to r/rtorrent for the rtorrent deb
20:56 jvcleave anyone know if the cubox supports OpenMax?
20:59 Punkley_Chillin I don't think it does, but I could be wrong.
22:26 `jpi rabeeh: have you tried barebox with cubox
22:27 `jpi i dont see any code related to marvel
22:28 `jpi probably should rip u-boot code and stick it in barebox
22:28 `jpi wil ltry that
22:33 `jpi needs some effort though
22:33 `jpi :(
22:44 punkt `jpi: i already stick some work into that
22:45 punkt `jpi: we have barebox already as second stage
22:45 punkt `jpi: since now, there is no more than memory layout and uart
22:47 punkt `jpi: my next step is to get rid of the "doimage_dove" tool, to create the lowlevel bootheader
