| 06:11 | DHowett | Are there any board shots of the cubox floating around? I'm considering bridging serial to a bluetooth modem simply because I ordered a bluetooth<->uart board that I decided I have no use for. |
| 06:14 | DHowett | ah, there we go. |
| 16:43 | Orm_Embar | Is opengles 2 hardware acceleration implemented yet? I'm currently using the armhf xubuntu 12.10 but would be willing to change if accelerated opengles is only available in soft-float, say. |
| 19:07 | Orm_Embar | right, I've now got a reasonably responsive desktop. But media playback is uselessly slow. xbmc is much less than 1fps under xubuntu 12.10 hardfp (I have the updated packages from http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1201); totem is dead slow, too. I know it works okay in geexbox hardfp, so what needs to change to make media playback work nicely in xubuntu? |
| 19:30 | wumpus | Orm_Embar: yes, egl hardware acceleration is available on the xubuntu imsage |
| 19:30 | wumpus | Orm_Embar: I did need to move the egl_mesa directory out of the way for it to work |
| 19:31 | wumpus | as it tends to override the system vivante driver... |
| 19:32 | Orm_Embar | wumpus: is it /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mesa-egl I need to move? |
| 19:32 | wumpus | yes |
| 19:33 | wumpus | move it to /root or some other location that won't be found by ldconfig |
| 19:42 | wumpus | I haven't yet got hw accel to work either on xubuntu, should be simply a matter of installing the right libraries and the gst plugin though |
| 19:43 | Orm_Embar | hm, done that & now although totem appears more responsive it doesn't actually play back any video (can't vouch for audio as I don't have spdif or hdmi speakers yet) |
| 19:45 | Orm_Emba | 19:45 * Orm_Embar goes to get some dinner. |
| 19:58 | wumpus | egl acceleration has little to do with totem |
| 19:59 | wumpus | for totem you need hw video acceleration |
| 20:00 | wumpus | I meant I don't have video acceleration to work on xubuntu, I do have egl acceleration (3d rendering) |
| 21:15 | Orm_Embar | I didn't think it ought to, but moving that folder has changed totem from 1 or 2 fps to no video at all. Perhaps I'll just unpack the geexbox /lib and /usr/lib over the ubuntu install. If it doesn't work I can always start again... ;-) |
| 21:32 | Orm_Embar | oh, wait, weird. Videos now play fine in parole, just not totem. Ho hum. |
| 22:38 | DHowett | Just venturing a guess, but - the 2013-03-01 u-boot from dbsx doesn't not support ext4, doesn't it? |
| 22:39 | DHowett | Actually, i'd be willing to bet it was gpt blowing it away :P |
| 22:57 | DHowett | yeah - the card I grabbed shipped with a GPT disklabel, which the installer happily used (because that's reasonable).. u-boot from 2009 is looking a little worse for wear ;p |
