| 10:27 | David-- | morning all |
| 10:27 | David-- | can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to install xbmc on cubox? cant find one on the website |
| 10:29 | Marmotte | something like GeeXboX ? |
| 10:29 | David-- | i dont know... im new to all this |
| 10:30 | Marmotte | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/GeeXboX |
| 10:30 | David-- | thanks pal |
| 10:30 | David-- | okay cool |
| 11:33 | David-- | been following this guide: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_Installer and wondering if I need to format the SD card to ext2,3, or 4 first? Or does the installer do it? |
| 11:46 | Marmotte | David--: in the page you linked : "Choosing yes will wipe out all content from the destination device" |
| 11:46 | David-- | Marmotte: yes it wipes it but does it format it with the correct partition? |
| 11:47 | David-- | because i tried that already and am getting errors on boot similar to this guy: http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1231 |
| 11:47 | Marmotte | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/images/b/b4/Installer-11.png |
| 11:47 | Marmotte | it looks like a format |
| 11:48 | Marmotte | (I never used the installer) |
| 11:48 | David-- | okay i'll try it again and see what happens |
| 11:48 | David-- | thanks |
| 11:56 | David-- | Marmotte: do I need to install arch-hardfp before geexbox-softfp? or just the latter? |
| 12:10 | Marmotte | don't know... i'd say just it isn't needed, but maybe wait for someone else to be sure :) |
| 12:11 | David-- | im trying hardfp first because i did it again with just geexbox-softfp and got the same errors then sits there trying to tftp server and wont connect |
| 12:25 | David-- | okay it seems to work now i used the latest nightly build but when it boots im getting this error: Invalid state for function? in cec_listen_single line 522 |
| 12:25 | David-- | it's constantly repeating itself |
| 17:37 | dv_ | David--: you are mixing soft- and hardfp? |
| 17:37 | dv_ | and both geexbox and arch are distros, right? so why do you "need to install arch-hardfp before geexbox-softfp?" |
| 17:38 | David-- | dv_: didn't know what i was doing to be honest |
| 17:38 | dv_ | it is generally a bad idea to mix soft- and hardfp |
| 17:38 | David-- | i figured out that if you selected the latest version though it doesn't download it |
| 17:38 | David-- | so i selected an older version and it downloaded and installed fine |
| 17:38 | David-- | just a bit slow so looking for a nice and fast theme |
| 17:39 | dv_ | oh with "installing" you mean copying the geexbox live stuff to arch? |
| 17:39 | David-- | i mean using the installer |
| 17:39 | David-- | i was selecting the latest stable version and it doesn't download it for some reason |
| 17:40 | David-- | so i selected an older version from the nightly builds and it works |
| 17:41 | dv_ | I dont get it. how is it possible to install a live CD (geexbox) into a distribution (arch) ? |
| 17:41 | dv_ | thats like "installing" knoppix into ubuntu |
| 17:41 | David-- | i was following this guide: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_Installer |
| 17:42 | David-- | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/File:Installer-8.png |
| 17:42 | David-- | selecting geebox-sftp doesn't work though |
| 17:42 | dv_ | but you can have only one of them, right? either arch or geexbox? |
| 17:43 | dv_ | because, when you said: "do I need to install arch-hardfp before geexbox-softfp?" it sounded as if you installed both |
| 17:43 | David-- | i presume so but at the time i didnt know, was just following a guide |
| 17:43 | dv_ | hmmkay |
| 17:43 | David-- | yeah cos i wasnt sure why it wasnt workin at first |
| 17:43 | David-- | i was confused |
| 17:43 | dv_ | confusions are typical in the cross compilation world :) |
| 17:43 | David-- | but when i realised it wasnt actually downloading it i realised |
| 17:44 | David-- | but thank you for trying to help me :) |
| 17:44 | dv_ | did you consult the forum? |
| 17:44 | David-- | was getting close but didn't need to cos i got it installed |
| 17:44 | David-- | gotta go cos im rushing out |
| 17:45 | David-- | cya :) |
| 20:36 | _rmk_ | rabeeh: have you noticed the tda998x driver in drivers/drm/i2c ? |
| 20:36 | _rmk_ | err, +gpu/ |
| 20:37 | _rmk_ | this finally means my drm driver is free of the dodgy NXP stuff... well, almost |
| 20:39 | _rmk_ | the drm/i2c/ driver doesn't set everything up fully - I suspect it was enough to get OMAP to talk to some montors and TVs, but it omits much (including the info frames) |
| 20:39 | _rmk_ | most importantly, it blocks audio output completely |
| 20:40 | _rmk_ | naturally I have something _now_ which doesn't but it's very hacky |
| 20:40 | _rmk_ | it seems we need to partially turn on the HDCP stuff to get audio |
| 20:40 | _rmk_ | which, I'll give you, is bizarre |
| 21:32 | frilled | HDCP = Teh Debbil! |
| 21:35 | _rmk_ | btw, cubox is loads faster with an external eSATA... the down side is it seems to interfere with my wireless keyboard/mouse |
| 21:35 | frilled | faster than with what? |
| 21:36 | frilled | I migrated from usb mdraid to esata and I'm quite happy with that, too |
