| 01:21 | Tenkawa | greetings all |
| 01:22 | cbxbiker61 | hi |
| 01:22 | Tenkawa | whats new? |
| 01:22 | cbxbiker61 | my 4 cubox-i's are on their way, after i reminded solid-run they got right on it |
| 01:23 | Tenkawa | still trying to figure the wifi situation for 3.14 over here |
| 01:23 | cbxbiker61 | has the correct code been integrated into 3.14? you might want to look at the code in 3.10 and go from there |
| 01:24 | Tenkawa | it seems to be a firmware issue |
| 01:25 | cbxbiker61 | like a missing external blob? |
| 01:25 | Tenkawa | or referencing it wromg yes |
| 01:25 | Tenkawa | er wromg |
| 01:25 | Tenkawa | euuuggh wrong |
| 01:26 | cbxbiker61 | any unusual messages in the system log? |
| 01:27 | Tenkawa | no.. none at all like its not even looking for it |
| 01:27 | Tenkawa | hmmm... may have found something |
| 01:28 | Tenkawa | maybe not heheh |
| 01:29 | Tenkawa | hmm |
| 01:30 | coin3d | are you planning on running headless? |
| 01:31 | Tenkawa | yes |
| 01:31 | Tenkawa | it currently is.. ethernet plugged atm |
| 01:32 | Tenkawa | is the brcm chip the fmac or smac on the cubox-i? |
| 01:32 | coin3d | would you like to benchmark that ethernet connection for me? :D |
| 01:33 | Tenkawa | my setup is not conducive to benchmarking heh |
| 01:34 | Tenkawa | oh well. something to look at tomorrow.. cheers all |
| 09:12 | DHowett | I'm going to assume that a 12v center-positive adapter would cause a cubox pro to not work anymore |
| 09:12 | DHowett | and if so, goddammit |
| 09:17 | jnettlet | DHowett, yes |
| 09:17 | DHowett | that is fairly depressing, but fully understandable. |
| 09:17 | DHowett | (and due to its lack of continued existence, I can't simply get a new one :() |
| 09:18 | jnettlet | DHowett, how good are you at taking about electronics? |
| 09:19 | DHowett | jnettlet: fairly alright |
| 09:19 | jnettlet | DHowett, write to their support/sales channel. They may allow you to just buy the microsom which just snaps into the bottom that has the SOC and DDR |
| 09:19 | jnettlet | that is generally the part that fries when over-powered |
| 09:20 | DHowett | jnettlet: that is wonderful. thank you |
| 09:20 | jnettlet | DHowett, I do not work for SolidRun and I am not sure about what their policies will be. |
| 09:20 | DHowet | 09:20 * DHowett nods |
| 09:20 | DHowett | understood |
| 09:20 | jnettlet | but I know they are using the same microsom in the hummingboard and the swap out is fairly straightforward. |
| 09:36 | DHowett | I suppose in the meantime, i might as well consider x86/mini-itx boards |
| 09:37 | jnettlet | well it is generally a trade-off between power usage and compatibility. ARM Linux support has come a long way but x86 has definitely been at it a lot longer. |
| 09:38 | jnettlet | The NUC computers are interesting but still 2-3 times the price, and use 2-3 times the power |
| 09:38 | DHowett | that's true |
| 09:38 | jnettlet | most people don't care, but to me using as little power as possible is important moving into the future |
| 09:38 | DHowett | I really enjoy the low power usage and fanless here. The form factor can literally not be beaten, especially given the 510 inside it |
| 09:38 | DHowett | yeah, fair point |
| 14:31 | edent | Afternoon all. Anyone know if the Cubox (original) can support .ogg playback? |
| 14:32 | cbxbiker61 | well, yeah |
| 14:33 | edent | cbxbiker61 whenever I try with GeeXboX, I don't get any sound. FLAC & MP3 work fine. |
| 14:34 | cbxbiker61 | must be a geexbox issue with get ogg decoder library |
| 14:35 | cbxbiker61 | if i think wayyyy back, their may have been an issue with the way the library was built, but that was a long time ago |
| 14:35 | edent | Ah, ok. I'll try sticking Debian on there an see whether it works. Any idea what the best way to report issues to the distro maintainer is? |
| 14:36 | cbxbiker61 | no, i use my own code, so i just fix it immediately when i find something doesn't work |
| 14:36 | edent | Ok, thanks :-) |
