| 06:22 | supsup | anyone around? |
| 06:23 | supsup | just tried Ubuntu on cubox-i pro -- did not like performance, anyone have any other suggestions on a bit more responsive linux distro? |
| 06:25 | jnettlet | supsup, which version of Ubuntu? |
| 06:26 | supsup | the one from the wiki |
| 06:26 | supsup | http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Debian_and_derivatives |
| 06:26 | supsup | ubuntu-oneiric-freescale/ |
| 06:27 | supsup | was looking at arch |
| 06:27 | jnettlet | generally with Linux distros as opposed to Android you generally find poor responsiveness due to the SDHC card performance. |
| 06:27 | jnettlet | you want an SDHC card has the best 4k random write performance you can find. |
| 06:28 | supsup | hurm alright. |
| 06:29 | jnettlet | most sdhc cards are optimized for large sequential writes like photos and movies. |
| 06:29 | jnettlet | Generally the SanDisk Ultra series are a pretty solid card if you are running a desktop OS from it. |
| 06:29 | supsup | thats what i'm using |
| 06:30 | jnettlet | should be fine then. Which kernel is shipping in that Ubuntu image? |
| 06:31 | supsup | sec i'll turn it back on and check. |
| 06:34 | supsup | says 3.0.35-gb...-dirty |
| 06:35 | jnettlet | so you will probably see an improvement switching to something that uses my 3.10 kernel. |
| 06:35 | jnettlet | I think ARCH does. |
| 06:36 | supsup | per their docs it's 3.0.35 i think then u have to upgrade to it |
| 06:37 | supsup | for arch anyway |
| 06:42 | supsup | dang seems like the fedora one has v3.14-rc4 kernal. any benefit to that over 3.10? |
| 06:44 | cbxbiker61 | they've been improving filesystem performance on the latest kernels, not sure that would show up on sd or not |
| 06:47 | jnettlet | cbxbiker61, f2fs helps a bit, I just don't like how slow it is to mount. |
| 06:47 | cbxbiker61 | personally i'd always use f2fs, it's the most flash aware filesystem out there |
| 06:49 | cbxbiker61 | it's a joke that we're still using fat partitions for compatibility, especially considering MS thinks that fs is worth money |
| 06:50 | cbxbiker61 | a high-schooler could write a filesystem better than fat |
| 06:50 | jnettlet | well fat is a simple filesystem which makes it easy and small to implement in a bootloader |
| 06:51 | jnettlet | but the patents that MS was collecting money on for fat namely the extended filenaming, were found invalid I believe. |
| 06:51 | jnettlet | at least in the EU |
| 06:52 | cbxbiker61 | i think it's one of those gray areas, where they collect money from anyone willing to pay |
| 06:53 | jnettlet | yep modern day mafia |
| 06:53 | jnettlet | at least Microsoft actually shipped a product that used the code which is much more than many of these extortion rackets |
| 10:02 | davorin | weird...any1 else having this problem with geexbox? |
| 10:02 | davorin | after power up it stucks at the geexbox login screen |
| 10:02 | davorin | but after reboot the xbmc screen is visible |
| 10:03 | jnettlet | haven't seen it. nightly build? |
| 10:03 | davorin | no..old one frmo 0414 |
| 10:03 | davorin | just had this problem on two different cbi4p recently |
| 10:06 | davorin | let's try 0423 |
| 10:06 | davorin | hmm..wonder why there are two version in the latest build dir |
| 10:06 | davorin | 0421 and 0423 |
| 10:07 | jnettlet | not sure. ping tomlohave ^ |
| 10:08 | jnettlet | sorry guys I have to run |
| 10:08 | davorin | babai (o; |
