| 10:37 | MungoBBQ | Hello everybody. I'm a new Cubox-i4 owner, and I'm wondering which Ubuntu distro I should use. |
| 10:38 | deniska | Depends on what you want |
| 10:39 | MungoBBQ | OK? I need to be able to run Chrome or Firefox in a nice resolution on a screen connected over HDMI/DVI. Then I need to be able to compile NFC Tools. |
| 10:43 | MungoBBQ | I got the old Ubuntu dist from the cubox wiki, but I can't get other resolutions than 640x480, and it won't detect the wifi card. |
| 11:01 | cbxbiker61 | MungoBBQ cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes |
| 11:02 | cbxbiker61 | if you see something in there that is a more appropriate screen mode...copy the entry to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode prior to starting a gui |
| 11:04 | cbxbiker61 | and wifi...you're probably missing the firmware |
| 11:07 | cbxbiker61 | dmesg | grep -i firmware |
| 11:27 | MungoBBQ | I only have two 640x480 modes in that file, @cbxbiker61 |
| 11:28 | MungoBBQ | "loaded firmware 1.1" |
| 11:29 | cbxbiker61 | probably not the wifi firmware, modprobe the wifi module then look |
| 11:30 | cbxbiker61 | you may have to create some entries in /etc/fb.modes and issue the correct fbset |
| 11:30 | cbxbiker61 | for a different video mode...the problem is with dvi/hdmi, the system doesn't know the modes |
| 11:35 | MungoBBQ | OK, so I can just add my own lines in /etc/fb.modes= |
| 11:35 | MungoBBQ | ? |
| 11:35 | cbxbiker61 | they have to match the characteristics of the monitor, but yes |
