12:40 rabeeh cbxbiker61: we started refining the available images for CuBox-i on the main website
12:41 rabeeh which url of a ready to use image do you recommend for CBi?
13:56 KodiakF i4 pro arrives today aw yea
14:02 rabeeh KodiakF: what are the plans?
14:02 rabeeh what do you want to do with it?
14:03 KodiakF Fedora 20 desktop w/ XFCE to see if it's "good enough" for my day to day use since my primary Linux workstation overheats my office in the summer. If it's all good there, I'll be buying another one for Owncloud 7 on Fedora 20 with great hopes that the upcoming Arm version of CentOS 7 is quickly ported over to Cubox
14:04 KodiakF For day to day use I really just need Firefox + some extensions, mp3 / ogg playback, flash, and vim
14:05 KodiakF I'd like to figure out how people pivot from microSD to e-sata SSD for their OS, if this ends up being a desktop replacement for me. I have to figure out if LUKS can be part of that equation as well
14:56 jnettlet KodiakF, I would recommend loading the kernel,dtb and initramfs from sdhc with the initramfs containing everything you need to decrypt and mount your other partitions contained on the ssd
14:58 KodiakF jnettlet: Thanks, I'll have to learn all of that - this is my first non-x86 gizmo and aside from some EFI issues here and there loading an OS was always pretty simple on that side of the fence haha.
16:40 michiwend hi all
16:40 michiwend i just installed the latest archlinux image with xbmc gothan on my cubox-i pro
16:41 michiwend but video playback stutters ~every 10 seconds
16:41 michiwend i guess it drops frames
16:42 michiwend i found this "thread" on the cubox forums http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1375.html
16:42 michiwend it describes exactly my problem
16:44 michiwend is there a solution around around?
16:54 rabeeh michiwend: i think for best xbmc experience on CuBox-i; it's best to use GeexBox/OpenELEC.tv/Xbian (ordered by alpha beta)
23:30 richardjortega hello
23:57 richardjortega any cubox owners actually have a Freescale SABRE board for iMX6Q? wondering if anyone has the android image
