13:48 tthtlc a problem: i just download the ubuntu 14.04 (full) image from malte website, and flash to sdcard, and now booting up with problem...
13:48 tthtlc the HDMI keep flickering and never seemed to have any image appear.....why?
13:52 tthtlc and when i connect the USB....to another x86 machine, access via /dev/ttyUSB0, I got the bootup message....beyond the HDMI switching point, UART output is cutoff ......why?
13:53 tthtlc http://pastebin.com/dvgtpwLc (this is where HDMI switching error is shown).
13:54 Exaga do you have an i2eX by any chance?
14:18 tthtlc oh..yes...i solve it now....with the help of a 2nd HDMI monitor....:-). Ubuntu 14.04 looks fine...
14:36 trohn_javolta hi @ all
14:36 trohn_javolta anybody familliar with archlinux here?
15:06 obinou Hello ,
15:06 obinou Does anybody tried to boot an imx6 on an initrd ?
15:07 obinou specifically i'm trying to create a server from the cubox-i , but I'd like to boot the / filesystem from eSATA rather then the SD-card , much too slow
15:08 obinou And I can't find any example of initrd for this
15:13 tthtlc not good....the Ubuntu 14.04....after login as cubox (I change it to my password - http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic769-60.html) and subsequently after login....the splash screen just stuck there....
15:14 tthtlc here is the dmesg output: http://pastebin.com/Vhe5mEXf
15:14 tthtlc why?
16:02 Exaga obinou: i'm trying to solve that problem right now
16:02 obinou Exaga: ok
16:03 Exaga i just need how to load the initrd in uEnv.txt
16:03 obinou Exaga: I wonder if the best solution wouldn't be to boot a very small FS on the SDcard (It look like the kernel will be on the sdcard anyway)
16:03 obinou which would act as an initrd
16:04 Exaga combine zImage and initrd
16:04 obinou mmhhhh not a bad idea, but the initrd would need to be generated outside the standard Debian way

16:09 obino 16:09 * obinou go reading & trying
16:10 obinou tthtlc: mmhhh plymouth keeps crashing
16:11 obinou tthtlc: did you do an update ?
16:13 obinou look like the display server is not starting
19:19 R0nd I'm getting >90% cpu load from mount.ntfs process when torrenting to hdd, is this normal?
20:17 Kiranos I have the first cubox, but I'm now looking at an hdmi stick for xbmc, is there any plans for such a case of the cubox hardware?
20:17 Kiranos it would be great :)
