00:21 GAZ082 cbxbiker61: definetely had to do something with the kernel upgrade. Went back to 3,10,30 and network worked again
19:02 Michail1 First time here. Got cubox-i and playing with images. Want Wheezy and found the gwolf image to try. Can't get keyboard to work so am stuck before I even get anywhere. Noted that must be in the bottom slot, but still no go. Basic question before I go an buy a keyboard... is there a known issue with using a wireless keyboard/mouse? (haven't had the issue on the other images). I get to
19:02 Michail1 # but nothing else (can't type, and can't ssh since network isn't pre-setup).
19:14 jnettlet Michail1, yeah it is very slow
19:14 jnettlet only in uboot. Once you boot to linux it should be fine
19:15 Michail1 It boots. get bash, but no keyboard input
19:15 Michail1 correction, I get to login prompt
19:15 Michail1 can't type anything (user/pass)
19:15 jnettlet Which model do you have?
19:15 Michail1 4
19:15 Michail1 pro
19:16 jnettlet can you plug in the usb serial console?
19:16 Michail1 don't have one (cable)
19:16 jnettlet if you unplug your wireless dongle and plug it back in do you see output on the console?
19:17 Michail1 brb
19:20 Michail1 nothing.
19:20 jnettlet that is strange. Do you have anything else usb you can plug in? a camera or usb stick?
19:20 Michail1 screen went to sleep. nothing would wake it up. powered off unit, powered up (screen woke up). firmware, and finally boots to login prompt.
19:21 Michail1 ONLY the wireless usb keyboard.
19:21 Michail1 unplug and replug, nothing
19:21 jnettlet does it just "work" when plugged into other linux boxes?
19:22 Michail1 the sdcard? I have tried the other images I have found for the cubox without a problem.
19:22 jnettlet okay, so the keyboard does work, just not with this image
19:22 Michail1 I checked the md5 for the image and it matches for the gwolf listing. reimaged a couple of times.
19:22 Michail1 correct
19:23 jnettlet which kernel is he using for that image?
19:24 Michail1 never got that far. :) checking
19:24 Michail1 http://people.debian.org/~gwolf/
19:24 Michail1 still looking
19:25 Michail1 Linux-3.0.35-8
19:25 jnettlet okay it should work, but it is possible there are issues.
19:30 Michail1 will play some more. was hoping someone would say, "Oh yeah, flip this switch, done"
19:30 Michail1 :)
19:31 jnettlet sorry, I have only played with the 3.0.xxx kernel for Android
19:47 Michail1 Is there a link to a cable that can be purchased to go from usb to the micro usb slot? Or, so I need a usb to rs232 then from rs232 to micro converter?
19:48 jnettlet Michail1, it is just a standard usb to micro-usb cable, like you would use to charge a smartphone
19:50 Michail1 hummm, I thought it would need to be serial conversion, etc.
21:59 heap_ hi anybody using webmin?
23:24 dxtr heap_: Are you a time traveller?
