| 16:29 | KodiakF1 | Potentially dumb question here: Doing the Fedora 20 install to microSD: Do I zcat the image to /dev/sdb or do I need to make a partition (/dev/sdb1) and zcat it to sdb1? |
| 16:33 | paulk-aldrin | KodiakF1, are there files in the archive? |
| 16:34 | KodiakF1 | I did it just straight to /dev/sdb right after I posted that and see that it created 3 partitions. So I'm good there - now I just have to remember how to find the end of the "drive" in fdisk so I can say how far out the end of the SD card is |
| 16:40 | KodiakF1 | whoa! It booted |
| 16:40 | KodiakF1 | I'll be damned |
| 16:48 | paulk-aldrin | :) |
| 16:54 | KodiakF1 | I'm buying this jmontleon character a beer someday |
| 16:55 | paulk-aldrin | can someone confirm that the cubox-i has a *mini* HDMI connector? |
| 16:55 | KodiakF1 | It's full size |
| 16:56 | paulk-aldrin | are you sure? |
| 16:56 | KodiakF1 | I just plugged something into it |
| 16:56 | KodiakF1 | I think there is a micro-usb connection |
| 16:56 | KodiakF1 | 2 usb |
| 16:56 | KodiakF1 | and 1 esata |
| 16:56 | paulk-aldrin | normally HDMI is larger than ethernet and on the pictures, it's slightly smaller |
| 16:56 | KodiakF1 | I'm assuming the whole 'i' line is the same but am using an i4 |
| 16:56 | KodiakF1 | they are touching eachother, the ethernet and hdmi and it's a pain in the ass |
| 16:57 | KodiakF1 | but it's just a normal connector for hdmi - if all of the i line is the same - on the i4 I can say it's full size as I just plugged it in |
| 16:57 | paulk-aldrin | can you measure it? |
| 16:57 | KodiakF1 | Wonder if all these ldconfig notices during software updates are expected (in the fedora image for Cubox) |
| 16:58 | KodiakF1 | I cannot - it's all plugged in now doing things - but it's the same hdmi cable I've used for monitors, gfx cards, dvd players etc - it's normal ass HDMI (for the i4) |
| 16:58 | paulk-aldrin | alright then |
| 16:58 | paulk-aldrin | thanks |
| 16:59 | KodiakF1 | can't speak for the other cubox i models - hopefully they are the exact same if you're getting a lower spec model |
| 16:59 | KodiakF1 | This is my first go-round w/ Cubox |
| 16:59 | KodiakF1 | And you're welcome - glad to do what little I can |
| 17:00 | jnettlet | paulk-aldrin, it is definitely a full size hdmi |
| 17:03 | rabeeh | KodiakF1: we are working on Ethernet tap up solution |
| 17:03 | rabeeh | we haven't got a good and reliable source for that connector |
| 17:04 | satellit | My cubibox i4 has a full size HDMI above the ethernet socket |
| 17:04 | KodiakF1 | Not a big deal - my current ethernet cables were all too "rugged" since they are CAT6 w/ pull-through guards - I found an old 5e cable w/ no pull-through guard on the clip and it fits fine |
| 17:05 | KodiakF1 | I'm just hella thrilled that Fedora booted right up |
| 17:06 | satellit | KodakF1 what is the f20 you are using? I have the XSCE schoolserver on mine atm |
| 17:06 | KodiakF1 | Next up I'll play with X and see if I can use this thing as a desktop for light use (w/ XFCE), then I'll roll it back to no-X and run owncloud on it - I'm pretty happy so far. The people on Newegg must just be idiots |
| 18:07 | KodiakF1 | satellit: I'm using jmontleon's dist in github |
| 18:31 | satellit | KodiakF1 link? |
| 18:31 | KodiakF1 | https://github.com/jmontleon/fedora-20-cubox-i_hb |
| 18:31 | satelli | 18:31 * satellit I would like to try it thanks |
| 18:31 | KodiakF1 | It was almost too easy - I'm still a bit in disbelief |
| 18:32 | KodiakF1 | I'm installing XFCE within that image right this moment |
