16:59 loul Hello ! I'm new on CUbox and i have a cubox-i 4
16:59 loul I have a problem, i'm trying to boot on SATA disk, i copy debian system on the disk
16:59 loul but i stay in read only
17:00 loul so, system don't start
17:00 loul i don't find any documentation about that
17:01 loul after, i have a question about GPU driver accelleration, i don't how to install
17:10 deniska loul: how did you copy your system on sata disk?
17:10 loul rsync -ruav
17:10 deniska from already working sd card?
17:11 loul yes
17:11 deniska loul: the thing about cubox-i is that it can boot only from sdcard
17:12 deniska so uboot (and probably a kernel) should stay on sdcard
17:12 loul uboot on sd card ok
17:12 deniska You may have everything else on esata drive but then don't forget to fix fstab and uboot config
17:12 loul but i would like system boot from SATA
17:13 loul fstab ok
17:13 loul it is simple ...
17:14 loul maybe this is because i do the rsync with the card running
17:14 loul no ?
17:14 deniska And about GPU stuff... I'm not sure myself so I'm just waiting until someone will make idiot-proof instruction/package for a driver
17:15 loul Just a question, the boot is ok, it boots from sata but i have error because
17:15 loul it reboots on read only
17:16 loul very strange
17:16 deniska hm, it shouldn't be able to boot from sata without sdcard =)
17:16 deniska loul: you may rsync a system while it's running, but better do it not from / but from /mnt/root, where /mnt/root is a directory where you'll remount root partition
17:16 deniska because otherwise it will try copy virtual files like /proc content
17:17 loul i ignore /proc /sys /dev for that reason
17:26 loul i'm searching the best image to test cubox with desktop environnement
17:26 loul which is the distribution for desktop environnement ?
17:26 loul And where download it ?
17:27 loul i see http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/cubox-i/Ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric-freescale/
17:45 deniska I personally use arch, it is a bit trickier to install but I found it working better for me than prebuilt images
18:25 curlymo does anyone know why all gpio are reserved in debian? unexporting doesn't work because of it.
18:29 malte which debian do u use?
18:37 mdeslaur I've been trying to get the image in the "OpenELEC UNOFFICIAL imx6 builds - 4.2 beta - Gotham 13.2" thread working, but after the initial boot screen, my tv says no image...
18:37 malte do u use a hdmi dvi adapter?
18:37 mdeslaur nope, direct hdmi
18:37 malte other images work?
18:38 mdeslaur and the android image that came with the box works fine
18:38 mdeslaur I assume I just need to write the image to the sdcard with dd?
18:39 Humpelstilzchen if you saw the bootloader output you did right with dd
18:39 malte the gz file?
18:40 mdeslaur I gunzipped it first
18:40 malte other openelec images work?
18:41 mdeslaur good question, let me try the one from http://snapshots.openelec.tv/
18:41 malte yes
18:41 malte and also try different sd cards
18:41 malte sometimes this helps too
18:44 mdeslaur hrm, there are no images there...
18:44 mdeslau 18:44 * mdeslaur looks some more
18:44 malte try igors debian img
18:44 malte just for testing
18:45 malte www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/08/19/cubox-i-hummingboard-debian-sd-image/
18:45 Humpelstilzchen uhm I'ld rather try an image with another kernel
18:46 curlymo 4th july jessie
18:46 malte can u ping ur device?
18:46 mdeslaur ok, let me try a few images, and a different sdcards tonight, thanks
18:47 Humpelstilzchen mdeslaur: also do you have enother monitor?
18:47 mdeslaur I tried on two different tvs
19:01 jmontleon did something change in 3.17.0 to intentionally make soft linking dtb files in /boot not work
19:02 jmontleon I now seem to have to copy it from /boot/dtb-3.17.0... to /boot
19:03 jmontleon s/soft/symbolic/
19:22 cbxbiker61 i finally got my onkyo remote control to control xbmc/cubox-i, remote code 01272
19:26 [1]wrexem nice
19:26 wrexem Are you having any problems with getting xbmc to run properly?
19:26 wrexem I mean, decoding, streaming, etc?
19:26 wrexem Or is that still WIP
19:27 wrexem Last time I tried like, OE, it was freezing and not playing videos very well
19:27 R0nd xbmc doesn't play h264 video for me, other codecs are too slow
19:28 cbxbiker61 it works pretty well, i'm using the code from the main repo, with the caviat that it is from 09/16/2014, later version have issues that i have bee looking into
19:28 R0nd also it won't build since some september commit anymore
19:28 wrexem Just curious - that wasn't my primary purpose for the thing.
19:29 wrexem Someday, maybe I'll install it
19:29 wrexem Plex->Chromecast works well :D
19:29 cbxbiker61 yes my later versions have quite a lot of patches but i'd pull from 09/15
19:29 cbxbiker61 i think they induced bugs when they incorporated hardware de-interlacing
19:30 wrexem Do you have your stuff up on git? or is it private store?
19:30 cbxbiker61 my patches are external, which works well for me as far as tracking latest version
19:30 R0nd cbxbiker61: I'm currently running xbmc compiled from 2014-09-19-2f561a2
19:31 cbxbiker61 look at the source for *IMX.cpp to see if they have rolled in de-interlacing
19:32 cbxbiker61 late version have significant memory handling bugs
19:32 cbxbiker61 causing a lot of crashes
20:01 Humpelstilzchen R0nd: have you tested with big buck bunny?
20:02 R0nd yes, it plays fine
20:02 Humpelstilzchen because thats h264
20:02 Humpelstilzchen I wonder whats wrong with the others
20:09 R0nd no idea, might have to do something with bitrate
20:28 R0nd are there any decent alternatives to xbmc on cubox?
21:40 Exaga Humpelstilzchen: big buck bunny sounds kinky :*
21:58 cjori anyone here connected a bluetooth keyboard to cubox-i/hummingboard running openelec?
22:06 malte i think bt never worked on openelec
22:09 cjori Ugh. I mean Arch Linux (why the hell did I write openelec?! :| probably i need some sleep.)
22:10 cjori (malte: actually bt keyboard on openelec worked fine for me :P)
22:10 Exaga cjori: :>
22:11 Exaga malte: o/
22:11 malte but not with internal bt device
22:11 malte @oe
22:12 cjori oh, yeah, both were with an external bt adapter
22:13 cjori should've mentioned it's an i2ex I'm using, so obviously external
22:56 DoubleMalt A docker-py question: How do I mount a host directory with docker-py?
22:57 DoubleMalt I know the volumes management is split into create and run but the documentation is not very clear to me
22:58 DoubleMalt sorry wrong channel ;)
23:35 bruceleex anybody here use a 64gb micro sd android on their cubox
