00:04 disorder20 hello
00:05 gabriel__ hi
00:06 disorder20 does the cubox have an internal memory, or is it ext microsd only?
00:08 gabriel__ internal memory + microsd
00:09 gabriel__ memory = 0.5-2gb
00:09 gabriel__ http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=CuBox-i_Hardware
00:09 gabriel__ I'm playing with it...amnd it looks good
00:11 disorder20 gabriel__: isn't it the ram?
00:11 gabriel__ yes it's the ram.
00:12 gabriel__ everything run on the Sd card
00:12 gabriel__ they have a boot loader somewhere... but I don't know the details yet
00:12 disorder20 k
00:16 gabriel__ It's one of the thing I like with it!
00:17 gabriel__ you can do some tests without any risks
02:23 cbxbiker61_ jnettlet, sorry didn't see your reply earlier, yeah i'm writing code to pass messages back and forth between a kernel module and a userspace helper program
02:24 cbxbiker61_ the original code use file read/write to pass messages and it was very ugly/unreliable
02:51 mhoney cbxbiker61_ isnt that what sockets are for?
02:55 cbxbiker61_ in this case there's quite a bit of code running in userspace, so the kernel just relays requests to userspace and userspace does the heavy lifting
02:57 cbxbiker61_ generic netlink is sockets
10:04 ttl hi, did anyone get cubox-i4pro working with wireless on ubuntu ?
10:04 ttl a fresh ubuntu install from the img on the site doesnt show wifi adapter
10:07 jnettlet ttl, can you post the output of dmesg?
10:11 ttl http://pastebin.com/SYXyS1RE
10:12 jnettlet ttl, oh you probably need a new kernel. I don't think that image has been updated since the wifi chips were switched from BCM4329 to BCM4330
10:13 jnettlet I think it is time to roll new base OS images soon
10:13 ttl ok. how should i do that ?
10:14 jnettlet ttl, are you okay with compiling your own kernel? You may just want to check the forums for one of the pre-compiled kernels.
10:14 ttl yeah im okay with that. i already compiled kernel for other boards in the past
10:15 ttl should i use https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-imx6 ?
10:15 ttl what defconfig ?
10:16 ttl and can you please give me the exact command for "git" to copy the sources from github
11:14 ttl ?
12:09 rabeeh ttl: http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard#Kernel_3.10_LTS
12:13 ttl i started the build. after the make modules it will copy the new kernel image & dtb files to /boot (or wherever they need to be) ? or i need to do this on my own ?
12:13 kivutar rabeeh, do you know if Squarepusher finally ported RetroArch to Cubox-i?
12:15 rabeeh kivutar: i haven't heard from them for a long time
12:15 rabeeh we have sent few devices for them
12:16 kivutar yes I saw their twit about it
12:17 kivutar I will check with them, because I think it's the good time for us to port lakka to cuboxi
12:17 rabeeh kivutar: sounds great !!! please ping him
12:18 rabeeh we will support lakka ofcourse :)
12:19 kivutar thanks :)
12:48 ttl rabeeh: i finished compiling. to where do i copy the new files ?
14:00 ttl hello ? rabeeh ?
18:33 rabeeh anyone familiar with good mediawiki antispam?
18:34 rabeeh i'v tried Q&A and now SolveMedia where I can't solve the quiz myself; but still the spammers insist on posting on the wiki
18:53 Coolgeek rabeeh: https://bbs.archlinux.org/register.php check this answer
18:58 rabeeh Coolgeek: too geeky :)
18:59 rabeeh and it's Arch since it assumes that the user is running Linux
19:01 rabeeh for instance we had questions that were CuBox specific; once a human spammer solved it then it would feed it to a bot
19:10 Coolgeek I see your point
19:10 Coolgeek but I thought it was a good way :)
19:11 b-rad i denied anon edits and then linked auth to forum db to prevent wiki spam, forum users grab the spammers quick
19:11 b-rad if you a forum user you can edit wiki
19:13 Coolgeek rabeeh: http://minecraft-server-list.com/server/189441/vote/ for example
19:15 rabeeh b-rad: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PHPBB/Users_Integration
19:23 b-rad sounds like it
19:24 b-rad i then also removed all links on the forum to the actual registration so nothing could try and follow
19:25 b-rad on the wiki i mean
19:25 b-rad just a bit of text explaining what to do
