13:31 satellit_e this is ubuntu on microSD on cubox-i4 hdmi how do I get it to not overflow the screen on my dell monitor?
13:31 satellit_e I cannot see the bottom for selections in XChat
13:32 satellit_e only one resolution (very low) available
13:58 Crashbit Hi! I installed archlinux|arm to cubox-i4, I can access to cubox with ssh, but if I want to see cubox tty to tv doesn't work. I connect cubox-i to tv with hdmi cable
13:59 Crashbit the tv don't detect hdmi cable pluged. I need to configure something first ?
14:00 satellit_e maybe on TV? just a guess
14:01 Crashbit I don't know, I connect other two devices to tv via hdmi, and it works
14:02 Crashbit i connect external hdd and tv decoder, and it works
14:05 satellit_e I have ubuntu here and it connects hdmi to 20" dell monitor fine...sory
14:05 satellit_e sorry*
14:05 Crashbit satellit_e: ok, you see terminal too ? tty
14:05 satellit_e have not tried tty use ubuntu monitor here
14:06 Crashbit I have a very basic archlinux installation, without GUI
14:06 satellit_e hate unity though
14:06 satellit_e 16 GB microSD
14:07 satellit_e monitor/terminal*
14:13 Crashbit no gnome or other x-window terminal, I mean tty, Ctrl+Alt*F2 for exemple
14:24 satellit_e I get login if I do that here
14:25 satellit_e Ctrl+Alt+F2 ,,,,,F7 returns to ubuntu
14:30 Crashbit finally works
14:31 Crashbit i need to plug the hdmi cable to vdi connector
14:31 Crashbit i don't know if now i have sound, I try it
14:44 satellit_ 14:44 * satellit_e still testing CuBox-i4 Ubuntu
14:45 satellit_ 14:45 * satellit_e writing cards with Win32 DiskManager in w8.1
14:45 satellit_ 14:45 * satellit_e and 7-Zip for decompression
15:00 satellit_e shutting down to test XSCE here...F20Basic.img
15:08 satellit timm_: how do I get the brcmf_cf...scheduled scan to quit on F20Basic.img?
15:09 satellit I interferes with commands as it runs all the time
15:09 satellit It*
15:10 timm_ satellit: I think this is the chattiness of the driver that jnettlet mentioed and maybe is working on, but it only appears in the console, not any ssh session.
15:11 satellit I tried to run yum install @sugar-desktop and it installed all of sugar but I could not boot afterwards
15:11 timm_ satellit: your best bet is to connect to wifi and ssh in. try nmcli dev wifi connect password
15:11 satellit have to hit keys repeatedly to get boot to go
15:12 satellit else it puts hdmi into standby
15:13 satellit have to go now....Dr appt. will continue this afternoon. : )
15:13 timm_ satellit: I'm not seeing that. sometimes the com port on my pc gets confused by all the streams
15:14 satellit Install with Win32 DiskManager is quite fast (&-Zip for decompression)
15:15 satellit my linux box has broken SD slot
15:15 satellit using Yoga Pro 2....
15:15 MikeSeth buy an $10 SD reader
15:16 timm_ satellit: yes, I use Win32 DiskManager and I have a Verbatim card reader
15:16 satellit also tried in Macbook Pro and it worked too...
15:16 timm_ the lexar reader that came with the sd cared also works
15:17 satellit later afk : )
15:22 satellit_e FYI http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:FC20Base2.jpg shows the script
15:31 timm_ jmontleon: when I made the kernel with https://github.com/jmontleon/fedora-20-cubox-i4pro I got many more modules than when I made it with https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6. Is this expected and does that latter contain all needed modules?
15:38 jmontleon timm_, not abnormal; I used more or less a combination of the fedora config with what's needed extra for the cubox-i
15:39 jmontleon so in that regard it would probably look similar to any other fedora system
15:40 timm_ jmontleon: my worry is that https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6 will fail for lack of modules. the fc20 version works.
15:42 timm_ jnettlet: do I need to worry that h https://github.com/linux4kix/linux-linaro-stable-mx6 has fewer modules than https://github.com/jmontleon/fedora-20-cubox-i4pro?
15:43 jmontleon no, it may not work with some fedora features; i have no idea if selinux support is built for example in the default config, but you could easily enable it
15:43 timm_ jnettlet: also, I notice some other differences - imx6q-cubox-i.dtb does not have the same &sata code.
15:44 jmontleon but less modules does not mean it will automatically not work; it may even just have more built directly into the kernel rather than as modules
15:46 timm_ I did make imx_v7_cubox-i_hummingboard_defconfig and then make olddefconfig to take defaults on parameters not covered in the former.
15:46 timm_ is that correct?
16:53 nitrog3n heya guys
16:54 nitrog3n i'm compiling the vivante dri drivers on 3.10.30
16:54 nitrog3n but finding really strange errors coming from linux-headers-cuboxi-dt
16:55 nitrog3n > /usr/src/linux-3.10.30-7-ARCH/include/asm-generic/ioctl.h:4:36: fatal error: uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h: No such file or directory
16:56 nitrog3n CFLAGS+=" -I../../exa/src/vivante_gal -I../../exa/src/vivante_util -I/usr/src/linux-3.10.30-7-ARCH/include -I /opt/fsl/include"
16:56 nitrog3n PKGBUILD adapted from notwa's work - https://gist.github.com/notwa/9389325
16:57 nitrog3n seems like the linux-headers themselves are wacko -- would appreciate if anyone could point out what may have gone wrong
17:17 satellit_ the debian debian-jessi.img has no networking....
22:13 satellit timm_: interesting but a slower microSD works as I can enter commands between the scans
22:14 satelli 22:14 * satellit I was using class 10 SD's
22:15 satellit F20Basic2.img
22:40 timm_ satellit: are you using the serial console or hdmi?
