| 02:37 | ichthys | Does anyone know how to get wifi working on linaro linux on a cubox-i4-pro |
| 03:16 | ichthys | cubox :< |
| 03:34 | mhoney | any hope of an official ubuntu 14.04 release? |
| 03:37 | ichthys | |
| 04:28 | cbxbiker61 | Anssi, i just mentioned to wolfgar that you will be working on HD audio support here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=161793&pid=1710154#pid1710154 |
| 04:29 | cbxbiker61 | it would be nice if we could get wolfgar in #cubox |
| 04:37 | arch1mede | anyone know where I need to go to re-enable the serial bootconsole? I donno why everyone keeps disabling it |
| 04:40 | cbxbiker61 | set it in /boot/uEnv.txt, assuming that your distro mounts /dev/mmcblk0p1 to /boot |
| 04:46 | arch1mede | is it ok to paste what is in there now? I know when I have the serial cable connected I can see linux boot up but then it doesnt return a prompt |
| 04:46 | arch1mede | or will i need to use pastebin? |
| 04:46 | cbxbiker61 | that's not it then, sounds like it's not starting agetty |
| 04:47 | cbxbiker61 | is this systemd based? |
| 04:48 | arch1mede | how can I tell? |
| 04:48 | cbxbiker61 | type systemctl |
| 04:49 | arch1mede | command not found, guess not |
| 04:50 | cbxbiker61 | ok, then do what the distro recommends to setup a tty, old fashioned way is modify /etc/inittab |
| 04:50 | cbxbiker61 | do a ps aux | grep getty |
| 04:50 | mk01 | arch1mede: grep tty /etc/inittab |
| 04:50 | cbxbiker61 | you'll see if anything is already configured |
| 04:51 | arch1mede | cbxbiker61: i see tty2-6 in that output, mk01: no such file |
| 04:52 | mk01 | what distro you have ? |
| 04:52 | arch1mede | ubuntu 14.04 |
| 04:52 | mk01 | then / |
| 04:52 | mk01 | then /etc/init/ttyX.conf (where X is 1-8) |
| 04:53 | arch1mede | mk01: yeah i see tty1-6.conf in there |
| 04:53 | mk01 | open tty6.conf |
| 04:54 | arch1mede | ok |
| 04:54 | mk01 | what you have there ? exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty6 ? |
| 04:54 | arch1mede | yes |
| 04:55 | mk01 | then change for |
| 04:55 | mk01 | or better copy tty6.conf -> ttyserial.conf |
| 04:55 | mk01 | and edit ttyserial.conf |
| 04:56 | mk01 | that "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty6" gets changed to "exec /sbin/getty -L ttyXXXX 115200 vt100" |
| 04:58 | arch1mede | ttyXXXX, is that literal or need to change that to something? |
| 04:58 | mk01 | where ttyXXX is device node created under /dev. it should be ttymxc0 ??? I suppose |
| 04:58 | arch1mede | oh, sorry wasnt patient enough apparently |
| 04:58 | mk01 | no problem |
| 04:59 | arch1mede | i have a ttymxc0 and a ttymxc3 |
| 05:00 | mk01 | mxc3 is BT |
| 05:00 | mk01 | so mxc0 |
| 05:00 | arch1mede | ah ok |
| 05:01 | mk01 | after you edit & save |
| 05:01 | mk01 | do "sudo start ttyserial" |
| 05:02 | arch1mede | awesome! Thank you |
| 05:03 | mk01 | you are welcome. |
| 05:03 | arch1mede | now if i could only remember this 5 mins from now |
| 05:04 | mk01 | you don't need |
| 05:04 | mk01 | ttyserial service will start each time |
| 05:04 | mk01 | according the "start on ....." line |
| 05:04 | arch1mede | ahh ok |
| 05:04 | cbxbiker61 | anyone know how to trigger the "RGB range override" on cubox-i? |
| 05:05 | arch1mede | cant tell you how nice it is to have a serial port where i dont have to make a jtag |
| 05:05 | cbxbiker61 | i have an old 1080p monitor that can't handle the extended range properly |
| 05:05 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: you want limited range back ? |
| 05:06 | cbxbiker61 | i just want to force it on for this applications, do you know where in the source code it is? |
| 05:06 | cbxbiker61 | it seems that a kernel command line option would be great for that |
| 05:09 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: currently it is hard coded in fb-hdmi driver |
| 05:10 | cbxbiker61 | this is in the kernel source, right? if so i'll just add a command line parameter |
| 05:10 | cbxbiker61 | if it's in a binary blob, i guess i can't fix it |
| 05:13 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: drivers/video/mxc/mxc_hdmi.c, line ~1366, parameters HDMI_FC_AVICONF2_RGB_QUANT_FULL_RANGE vs HDMI_FC_AVICONF2_RGB_QUANT_DEFAULT |
| 05:14 | mk01 | maybe if I tell you mem addr you can rewrite it while booted |
| 05:16 | arch1mede | in order to get iptables working do i need to recompile the kernel or can i load a module? Seems this kernel version doesnt have it built in |
| 05:19 | cbxbiker61 | mk01, thanks, i'll have a look at the code |
| 05:20 | cbxbiker61 | arch1mede, i posted http://xilka.com/sheeva/kernel/KERNEL-UPDATE-new.sh |
| 05:20 | arch1mede | cbxbiker61: ahh right..i thought that was for a different distro |
| 05:20 | cbxbiker61 | that will get you 3.10.40 with iptables support and it fixes an important kernel vulnerability |
| 05:20 | arch1mede | nice |
| 05:20 | arch1mede | thank you |
| 05:20 | cbxbiker61 | kernel's are pretty much distro agnostic |
| 05:21 | arch1mede | hmm im getting a 404 not found |
| 05:21 | cbxbiker61 | actually that should be sheeva/tmp |
| 05:22 | arch1mede | lol |
| 05:23 | arch1mede | its UPDATE-KERNEL-new.sh |
| 05:24 | cbxbiker61 | yep as long as you have /boot/SPL it should work |
| 05:24 | arch1mede | i do...kewl |
| 05:26 | arch1mede | well that script is handy |
| 05:31 | arch1mede | does this just download it and i have to update it manually? or is this supposed to do it all for you? |
| 05:32 | cbxbiker61 | hang on i have a seperate script to switch versions |
| 05:32 | cbxbiker61 | separate |
| 05:33 | cbxbiker61 | http://xilka.com/sheeva/kernel/SET-IMX-KERNEL.sh put that in /boot and run it from /boot as SET-IMX-KERNEL.sh 3.10.40 |
| 05:33 | cbxbiker61 | maybe back up the original files just in case |
| 05:34 | cbxbiker61 | it's all working for me |
| 05:34 | arch1mede | ok |
| 05:34 | arch1mede | thanks |
| 05:36 | cbxbiker61 | cool it looks like the caching servers have pulled in http://xilka.com/sheeva/kernel/UPDATE-KERNEL.sh , so that is the new script now |
| 05:38 | arch1mede | hmm bummers....still on 3.10.30 |
| 05:39 | cbxbiker61 | whatever is in /boot/zImage should be loaded, are you in as root? |
| 05:39 | arch1mede | yes |
| 05:39 | cbxbiker61 | check byte counts on the *zImage files |
| 05:40 | arch1mede | but i see zImage is not rwx, -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 5439520 May 15 03:26 zImage |
| 05:41 | cbxbiker61 | cat /proc/cmdline |
| 05:41 | arch1mede | is ti ok to paste that here? |
| 05:41 | cbxbiker61 | yeah |
| 05:41 | arch1mede | console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rw console=ttymxc0,115200 console=tty1 consoleblank=0 video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=16 dmfc=3 |
| 05:41 | cbxbiker61 | it's alway one line anyway |
| 05:42 | cbxbiker61 | uname -a |
| 05:42 | arch1mede | Linux cubox 3.10.30-16-ARCH #1 SMP Thu Apr 24 16:21:42 MDT 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux |
| 05:43 | cbxbiker61 | what else is in /boot ? maybe they have a non-standard u-boot setup |
| 05:43 | cbxbiker61 | other zImage files? |
| 05:44 | cbxbiker61 | do a "mount" |
| 05:45 | arch1mede | so this was in /boot originally: SPL imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb imx6dl-hummingboard.dtb imx6q-cubox-i.dtb u-boot.img uEnv.txt zImage |
| 05:46 | cbxbiker61 | that all looks normal |
| 05:46 | cbxbiker61 | and mount? |
| 05:46 | arch1mede | http://pastebin.com/Y89BC25E |
| 05:47 | cbxbiker61 | yeah /dev/mmcblk0p1 has to be mounted at /boot first |
| 05:49 | cbxbiker61 | not sure why they had a populated /boot on mmcblk0p2, we really want /boot to be on mmcblk0p1 |
| 05:50 | arch1mede | so change the uEnv.txt? |
| 05:50 | cbxbiker61 | no, just "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot" |
| 05:50 | arch1mede | oh |
| 05:50 | cbxbiker61 | you should see pretty much the same stuff |
| 05:51 | arch1mede | now run the update script? |
| 05:51 | cbxbiker61 | then do "mount | grep boot" just for kicks, i want to see if it's fat or ext2 |
| 05:52 | arch1mede | /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type ext4 (rw) |
| 05:52 | cbxbiker61 | ok, now run the scripts again and it should work |
| 05:53 | arch1mede | think I will need to run the kernel switch script? |
| 05:53 | cbxbiker61 | yes |
| 05:54 | cbxbiker61 | after your done you may want to add a mount mmcblk0p1 to /boot for convenience |
| 05:54 | arch1mede | ok |
| 05:54 | cbxbiker61 | sorry meant to /etc/fstab |
| 05:56 | cbxbiker61 | i'm not sure what the logic is...but some of the distros aren't mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 at /boot, which would be "normal/standard" |
| 05:57 | arch1mede | should i remount blk0p2 else where or just leave it /? |
| 05:57 | cbxbiker61 | the p2 should remain / |
| 05:57 | arch1mede | ok |
| 05:59 | arch1mede | hurray |
| 06:01 | arch1mede | thanks for your help |
| 06:01 | cbxbiker61 | yep |
| 10:59 | Guest7634 | has anyone tried using an external dvd drive with Debian Jessie on Cubox ? |
| 10:59 | Guest7634 | Kernel is 3.0.35 |
| 11:00 | Guest7634 | @rabeeh : tried using an external dvd drive with Debian Jessie on Cubox ? |

| 12:37 | mk01 | Guest7634: yes |
| 12:40 | rabeeh | Guest7634: nop |
| 12:41 | mk01 | two most comprehensive answers this week |
| 12:41 | mk01 | :) |

| 13:15 | rabeeh | he ralix |
| 17:39 | midacts | Does anyone have any OS recommendations for the Cubox-i4-Pro? I am having problems getting wifi to work with the ubuntu and debian versions- although they are probably what id like to be using |
| 17:39 | deniska | midacts: I personally found arch linux the easiest to get to usable state |
| 17:39 | midacts | ive heard that as well |
| 17:40 | midacts | ive not really used arch before. ive read its pretty bare bones. it makes me a little sketchy |
| 17:40 | midacts | im decent at the cli |
| 17:40 | midacts | but im not the best at installing drivers and getting hardware to work if its not working |
| 17:40 | deniska | Well, as someone who used to install ubuntu from mini.iso, I was not afraid of arch :3 |
| 17:40 | midacts | :D thats as good of an encouragement as any |
| 17:41 | midacts | did you have to use the microusb port for anything? |
| 17:41 | deniska | to make wifi working I had to copy its firmware from the internets |
| 17:41 | cbxbiker61 | yes, firmware and the .txt files |
| 17:41 | deniska | I used microusb in initial install, because I was too lazy to connect monitor and keyboard |
| 17:41 | midacts | cbxbiker61: so you will have to use the microusb port |
| 17:42 | midacts | ive just been unable to get the microusb to work |
| 17:42 | midacts | ive got put and i can dmesg and see that its connected |
| 17:42 | midacts | but im unable to actually connect to the cubox-i4-pro |
| 17:42 | cbxbiker61 | can you mount your sd in another computer, you could just copy the firmware |
| 17:42 | midacts | ive probably missed a step |
| 17:43 | deniska | you can put files on usb stick or use wired network, it works fine out of the box |
| 17:43 | midacts | cbxbiker61: yes I can probably do that. i usually usb mount it in windows and copy the .img to the sd there |
| 17:44 | deniska | Having linux on 'normal' computer would help :3 |
| 17:44 | cbxbiker61 | you need brcmfmac files in /lib/firmware/brcm |
| 17:44 | midacts | deniska: i have a linux lubuntu netbook that ive used- you are right it is easier there |
| 17:44 | cbxbiker61 | -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 253748 Apr 5 14:12 brcmfmac4329-sdio.bin |
| 17:44 | cbxbiker61 | -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1293 Apr 5 14:12 brcmfmac4329-sdio.txt |
| 17:45 | deniska | as for debug cable, I used gtkterm |
| 17:46 | deniska | cbxbiker61: ls: cannot access brcmfmac4329-sdio.txt: No such file or directory |
| 17:46 | deniska | o_O |
| 17:46 | cbxbiker61 | google that filename, you'll get directions on how to get it |
| 17:46 | deniska | I don't have txt file, only bin, and wifi works |
| 17:46 | cbxbiker61 | could be |
| 17:47 | deniska | hostapd was a bit flaky when I tried, may be because of that? |
| 17:48 | cbxbiker61 | ifconfig wlan0, what does that show |
| 17:48 | deniska | I don't run hostapd anymore =) |
| 17:49 | deniska | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7468428/ so currently it shows that |
| 17:49 | midacts | Do you know of any good guides to get this all working from scratch? |
| 17:50 | deniska | http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/freescale/cubox-i I used this guide |
| 17:51 | deniska | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_recommendations and then this |
| 17:51 | midacts | deniska: Okay great. and thats all you had to do |
| 17:51 | midacts | besides the firmware? |
| 17:51 | deniska | well, what do you need then? xbmc? or x11? |
| 17:51 | deniska | or some sort of owncloud server? =) |
| 17:52 | midacts | im probably going to do xbmc- i reallyonly want to use this as a media pc |
| 17:52 | deniska | there're distros designed especially to run xbmc |
| 17:52 | midacts | but x11 is just like startx or a gui,right |
| 17:52 | midacts | yah, ive seen the geekxmbc i think |
| 17:52 | midacts | im just sketched out cause i havent gotten anything to work yet |
| 17:52 | midacts | |
| 17:52 | deniska | x11 for me seems a bit pain in the ass =) |
| 17:53 | deniska | on this device |
| 17:53 | cbxbiker61 | geexbox is probably the best bet at the moment, but you have to manually edit the wireless config file, other than that it's easy |
| 17:53 | deniska | what I've got now -- hw accelerated compositing, but overall interface is still sluggish |
| 17:53 | cbxbiker61 | my xbmc/cubox-i is very snappy |
| 17:54 | deniska | xbmc works absolutely fine |
| 17:54 | midacts | cbxbiker61: do you use geekxbmc |
| 17:54 | midacts | can you run netflix from it? |
| 17:54 | deniska | x11 interface with chromium etc not so well |
| 17:54 | midacts | that would be my main concern, if i get it up and running |
| 17:54 | cbxbiker61 | i ran geexbox until i ported my distro to it, now i'm using that "xilka" |
| 17:55 | cbxbiker61 | netflix is really a pain for everything, but mostly a no-go on arm |
| 17:55 | midacts | blast :/ |
| 17:55 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: on ATV runs fine (ARM). :)) |
| 17:56 | cbxbiker61 | there are client/server ways of doing netflix, but it's too much of a problem for the most part |
| 17:56 | midacts | does pipelight work with arm? (its for silverlight > on linux for netflix) |
| 17:56 | cbxbiker61 | i just do roku for the pay stuff and cubox-i for local media |
| 17:57 | deniska | midacts: theoretically, the hard part is hw accelerating the stream |
| 17:58 | deniska | isn't there netflix client for android? |
| 17:58 | deniska | I personally don't use netflix because http://thebestofnetflix.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/what-countries-does-netflix-stream-in1.png :3 |
| 17:59 | deniska | and torrent clients work fine =) |
| 18:00 | mk01 | I would be so happy to pay ... :-/ any service. |
| 18:01 | mk01 | but actually all providers are banning me |
| 18:01 | midacts | you don't live in the US of A! |
| 18:01 | cbxbiker61 | mk01 s/HDMI_FC_AVICONF2_RGB_QUANT_DEFAULT/HDMI_FC_AVICONF2_RGB_QUANT_FULL_RANGE/ works well for me on the old 1080p tv |
| 18:02 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: did you do the command line param ? |
| 18:02 | cbxbiker61 | not yet, but i can do that |
| 18:03 | cbxbiker61 | also bumped my backlight from 50 to 63 % since the tv is old |
| 18:03 | deniska | I tried to buy music on amazon once... it said I can't do that in my country |
| 18:03 | mk01 | :)) |
| 18:03 | deniska | Well, you know who can give me music? thepiratebay :3 |
| 18:04 | mk01 | deniska: ok, this is known "problem |
| 18:04 | mk01 | " |
| 18:04 | midacts | deniska: won't law enforcement come knocking on your door for that? |
| 18:04 | mk01 | but actually Apple took it to perfection |
| 18:04 | mk01 | shop is available to my country |
| 18:04 | mk01 | nice |
| 18:04 | deniska | midacts: no |
| 18:05 | mk01 | I can buy, nice |
| 18:05 | deniska | at least not now in this country :3 |
| 18:05 | deniska | Apple's itunes suck because, well, itunes |
| 18:05 | mk01 | so I choose album - go to payment - not possible. record is not in my country's shop |
| 18:05 | mk01 | :))) |
| 18:05 | deniska | google music is actually nice |
| 18:06 | mk01 | did google succeeded in copying the iTunes iCloud service |
| 18:06 | mk01 | ? |
| 18:06 | deniska | it's much cheaper (at least here), you don't need any software besides browser and it gives you album to download in zip file =) |
| 18:07 | deniska | I'm not sure what icloud is |
| 18:07 | cbxbiker61 | mk01, yeah i think i'll do a param where 0=default, 1=fullrange and 2=limitedrange |
| 18:09 | deniska | https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-okMb-DDkOt0/U2eDd3dRKfI/AAAAAAAADSQ/0_0hoHxY5KI/s640/IMG_20140505_162527.jpg random cubox photo =) |
| 18:09 | mk01 | deniska: the concept of downloading to a static location was abandoned. |
| 18:10 | deniska | What? I love my static locations :3 |
| 18:13 | mk01 | deniska: I imported my 25t records and removed. |
| 18:21 | smark_ | I need some help setting up a remote control in Arch Linux... |
| 18:22 | smark_ | ...I'm quite confused by the seemingly disparate instructions found on the Cubox-i forums and the web. |
| 18:22 | smark_ | For starters: what packages do I need to install? |
| 18:23 | cbxbiker61 | lirc is the most common |
| 18:24 | smark_ | Okay, so is lirc installation mandatory for use of remote with XBMC? |
| 18:24 | smark_ | (I've read on the web that LIRC is outdated) |
| 18:25 | cbxbiker61 | maybe, but it works great form me on cubox's |
| 18:26 | smark_ | Okay, so I installed packages "lirc" and "lirc-utils". What now? |
| 18:27 | cbxbiker61 | if your using mce remote.. |
| 18:27 | cbxbiker61 | ls -l |
| 18:27 | cbxbiker61 | total 40 |
| 18:27 | cbxbiker61 | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 May 4 03:21 lircd.conf -> /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb |
| 18:27 | cbxbiker61 | that's /etc/lirc/lircd.conf |
| 18:28 | smark_ | Nope. It's a custom remote. I have to generate my own lirc.conf using irrecord, right? |
| 18:28 | cbxbiker61 | the make sure it gets started as per /usr/sbin/lircd -n -d /dev/lirc0 |
| 18:28 | deniska | smark_: yes |
| 18:28 | deniska | I failed to do that though |
| 18:28 | deniska | Well, it kinda recorded |
| 18:29 | deniska | but when I tried to test it with testing utility, it detected every button as KEY_PLAY |
| 18:29 | deniska | probably I did something wrong or I have weird remote =) |
| 18:29 | mk01 | deniska: because Apple RC is sending two bits |
| 18:29 | mk01 | like HI code and LO code |
| 18:29 | smark_ | Okay, so after I've generated the lirc.conf (I've did that before in a different system), what do I do? |
| 18:29 | deniska | Hm, it's not apple remote |
| 18:30 | mk01 | UHM. where have I seen this info? lol :)) i'm imagining things |
| 18:32 | mk01 | smark: you need to create the RC irrecord file |
| 18:32 | mk01 | then this needs to be included in lircd.conf |
| 18:33 | mk01 | then you starts lircd |
| 18:33 | mk01 | you can check with "irw" |
| 18:33 | deniska | (in arch: systemctl enable lirc, systemctl start lirc) |
| 18:33 | mk01 | if KEYs are properly generated when pressed buttons |
| 18:34 | mk01 | if they are |
| 18:34 | mk01 | you have to let XBMC know about your RC (define key map file) |
| 18:35 | mk01 | or just put your RC as alias to any other existing |
| 18:35 | mk01 | (if you mapped with irrecord to "common" key names like KEY_LEFT, KEY_OK ... etc) |
| 18:36 | smark_ | mk01: thanks for help! I'm trying your instructions right now. Will report soon... |
| 18:42 | smark_ | Okay, I've just created /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and started LIRC. Running irw was also successful! |
| 18:44 | mk01 | check /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml |
| 18:45 | smark_ | mk01: On my system, XBMC files are installed under /usr/share/xbmc |
| 18:45 | mk01 | by using YOURRCNAME you can reuse already mapped RC |
| 18:45 | mk01 | ok then /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml |
| 18:46 | smark_ | Are you referring to the element under ? |
| 18:47 | mk01 | no any particular |
| 18:47 | mk01 | what are your button names ? |
| 18:48 | smark_ | I used the button names from "irrecord -l". Example: KEY_OK, KEY_LEFT, KEY_PLAY, etc |
| 18:49 | mk01 | do you have the part like in this .xml called "" ? https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-xbmc/blob/gotham-nightly/content/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml |
| 18:50 | smark_ | mk01: Yes, it's under the element |
| 18:50 | mk01 | ok, the n under this line |
| 18:50 | mk01 | create new |
| 18:51 | mk01 | YOURRCNAME |
| 18:51 | mk01 | restart XBMC |
| 18:51 | smark_ | Ah, okay. I think I get it. Let me explain how i think this works... |
| 18:53 | smark_ | 1) LIRC sends XBMC an event indicating the name of the remote (as indicated in the "name" parameter in lircd.conf) and a key (for example KEY_PLAY). |
| 18:53 | smark_ | 2) XBMC checks under the with the same name for the key. |
| 18:54 | mk01 | exactly |
| 18:54 | smark_ | 3) If no such is found, then is used |
| 18:54 | smark_ | 4) XBMC executes the action associated with the found key. Et voila! |
| 18:54 | mk01 | yup |
| 18:55 | smark_ | Just one thing that's got me worried: |
| 18:55 | smark_ | Won't Lircmap.xml be replaced next time I update Arch's XBMC package? |
| 18:55 | mk01 | so you get translation from any UNKNOWN -> LIRC standard -> application internal ACTIONS |
| 18:55 | mk01 | yes it will |
| 18:55 | smark_ | Is there a way to define a local version? |
| 18:55 | mk01 | so you edit and test |
| 18:56 | mk01 | if it works, copy the relevant part to extra file |
| 18:56 | mk01 | and put into user .xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml file |
| 18:57 | smark_ | mk01: which distro are you using? |
| 18:57 | mk01 | XBian |
| 18:57 | smark_ | I've been meaning to try XBian, but I couldn't find a package list |
| 18:57 | smark_ | to see if the packages i want (hostapd, etc) are available |
| 18:57 | mk01 | package list ? |
| 18:58 | smark_ | Yes, list of binary packages available for Xbian |
| 18:59 | mk01 | smark: XBian is not "custom" bundle. It's core is "live" Debian system with apt & all repositories |
| 19:00 | mk01 | (as valid for the actual core system) |
| 19:01 | smark_ | Does that mean *all* Debian packages are available in Xbian? |
| 19:01 | mk01 | yes |
| 19:02 | mk01 | including updates / upgrades and dist-upgrades |
| 19:02 | smark_ | That's cool, cause I run Debian on my laptop, and I'm more familiar with it... |
| 19:02 | smark_ | And what about all the Cubox-i specific stuff? |
| 19:02 | smark_ | Under Arch they have a bunch of imx6-specific packages |
| 19:03 | mk01 | yes, it's simillar |
| 19:03 | smark_ | Okay, I'll give XBian a try then... |
| 19:04 | mk01 | XBian adds additional repo and maintains own .debs from them |
| 19:04 | smark_ | Last I checked the XBian thread in the Cubox-i forum, someone (you?) said that a new image would be available soon... |
| 19:05 | mk01 | http://xbian.brantje.com/others/xbian-20140515.img.7z |
| 19:05 | smark_ | Does that include the latest kernel and out-of-the-box support for the Cubox-i? |
| 19:05 | mk01 | yes |
| 19:06 | smark_ | It would be nice if http://xbian.brantje.com/others/ were public. |
| 19:06 | smark_ | (So one can check for newer images) |
| 19:07 | smark_ | Just one question: what version of Debian are we talking about? |
| 19:07 | mk01 | smark: that is not needed at all |
| 19:07 | mk01 | as you update through "apt-get update & upgrade" or GUI respectively |
| 19:07 | mk01 | Jessie |
| 19:08 | smark_ | Yes, but my Internet connection is slow. So before I install for the first time, I would like to have the latest version... |
| 19:08 | mk01 | smark: there is no newer img that from today |
| 19:08 | mk01 | ;) |
| 19:09 | smark_ | Yeap. i'll give that one a try then! Thanks for all the help!!! :-) |
| 19:09 | mk01 | of course including todays Jessie package versions |
| 19:09 | mk01 | you are welcome |
| 19:09 | jnettlet | mk01, how is the debian packaging going? Any chance of them accepting it upstream? |
| 19:10 | mk01 | jnettlet: I have no info about that. |
| 19:10 | jnettlet | bummer |
| 19:11 | smark_ | mk01: Refresh my memory: does Jessie use systemd by default? |
| 19:11 | mk01 | Jessie still use sysv by default |
| 19:12 | mk01 | Xbian uses upstart (init.d subsystem still works for backcompatibility) |
| 19:12 | mk01 | and in general Debian slowly moves to systemd |
| 19:13 | smark_ | I've been having my first experience with systemd in Arch on the Cubox-i, and I'm loving it! |
| 19:13 | mk01 | yesterdays update to policykit installed systemd as dependency . but if you use other startup mechanism systemd is not forced |
| 19:13 | mk01 | just as additional compat layer |
| 19:13 | cbxbiker61 | yes systemd is awesome, i've been using it since it's early days |
| 19:14 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: heh. I'm upstart "fan" |
| 19:14 | cbxbiker61 | the control you have on big servers with systemd is very useful |
| 19:15 | cbxbiker61 | ok, i just put a 150Mbit usb wifi on my cubox-i, now to see how it handles blu-ray rips |
| 19:16 | mk01 | cbxbiker61: don't have such experiences to compare. but for home system upstart is VERY easy to understand for user and powerfull at the same time. one can actually write automated system with it without any programming experience |
| 20:37 | mk01 | deniska, do you use xbmctorrent ? |
| 20:37 | deniska | no |
