| 18:47 | kermit666 | Hi! Anyone maybe knows what is the recommended Ubuntu 14.04 server image to use on a Cubox CBP-300-P? |
| 18:47 | kermit666 | I tried the one hosted on this site http://solidrun.maltegrosse.de/ubuntu/ , but it didn't work |
| 18:48 | kermit666 | I just got a black screen when I plugged the device in |
| 19:48 | Exaga | open question to all: do you prefer the cubox or hummingboard, and why? :> |
| 19:56 | Exaga | hi Artox :> |
| 19:57 | Artox | ohai Exaga |
| 19:57 | Exaga | Artox: i've got the perfect in-use memory settings \o/ |
| 19:57 | Artox | I see |
| 19:57 | Exaga | 0x00800000 0x01100000 0x5880000 |
| 19:58 | Artox | and whats so perfect about it? |
| 19:58 | Exaga | it works :P |
| 19:58 | Artox | !!!! |
| 19:58 | Artox | so your ramdisk has booted? |
| 19:58 | Exaga | ahuh |
| 19:58 | Exaga | but the kernel has many errors |
| 19:58 | Artox | now is that kernel,fdt,ramdisk? |
| 19:59 | Exaga | for about a week now i've been trying to get rid of the errors |
| 19:59 | Exaga | yes you are correct |
| 19:59 | Artox | errors? |
| 19:59 | Artox | weird |
| 19:59 | Artox | I find the kernel to be working rather good |
| 20:00 | Exaga | i'm missing modules too |
| 20:00 | Exaga | but i am trying to get it all together |
| 20:00 | Exaga | it's just real life and work gets in the way |
| 20:00 | Artox | I know that feeling |
| 20:00 | Exaga | :> |
| 20:01 | Exaga | but yes i have a booting slackware arm installer on the hummingboard |
| 20:01 | Artox | so much on my list that I planned |
| 20:03 | Exaga | i don;t want a huge kernel |
| 20:03 | Artox | oh? |
| 20:03 | Exaga | i want to filter out all the superflous shit |
| 20:03 | Artox | hmm |
| 20:04 | Artox | so 5MB is too much? |
| 20:04 | Exaga | and keep what's needed |
| 20:04 | Artox | the usual approach si to turn *everything* into a module |
| 20:04 | Exaga | maybe |
| 20:04 | Artox | and only the hardware support in the kernel image |
| 20:04 | Exaga | yes what's that command now... make allmodulesconfig ? |
| 20:04 | Exaga | something like that |
| 20:04 | Artox | allmodconfig I think |
| 20:04 | Exaga | ja |
| 20:05 | Artox | but I'd suggest to just use the defconfig provided by the 3.14.14 kernel |
| 20:05 | Exaga | yes i did |
| 20:05 | Exaga | and it gives me errors |
| 20:05 | kermit666 | Exaga, Artox: hi folks! Do you maybe have some experience with CBP-300-P and Ubuntu 14.04? |
| 20:06 | Exaga | kermit666: no sorry :> |
| 20:06 | Artox | whats CBP-300-P? |
| 20:06 | Exaga | cubox pro? |
| 20:06 | kermit666 | Artox: the model number |
| 20:06 | Artox | no clue where I would find that |
| 20:06 | kermit666 | it's a Cubox Pro, I think https://jeltsch.org/CuBox |
| 20:07 | Artox | my cubox has model I4P-300D |
| 20:07 | Exaga | kermit666: i only have a hummingboard i2eX |
| 20:07 | Artox | how that string looks completely different |
| 20:07 | kermit666 | Artox: yes, that's probably the newer Pro 4 |
| 20:07 | kermit666 | Exaga: ok, thanks anyway |
| 20:07 | Artox | well, thats what I got |
| 20:07 | Artox | together with a few humming birds |
| 20:08 | kermit666 | and you got Ubuntu running on it or? |
| 20:08 | Artox | no |
| 20:08 | Artox | :) |
| 20:08 | Artox | I avoid ubuntu whenever possible |
| 20:08 | kermit666 | :) |
| 20:08 | Artox | but I am going to look into debian now |
| 20:08 | Exag | 20:08 * Exaga uses both |
| 20:08 | Artox | once that is "supported" |
| 20:08 | Artox | ubuntu should be easy |
| 20:08 | Exaga | ubuntu is what i advise all linux newcomers to try first on x86 platform |
| 20:08 | Artox | since its only about taking care of kernel, vpu, gpu and wifi/bluetooth |
| 20:08 | kermit666 | I'm OK with debian as well - I just want to run Docker on it |
| 20:09 | Artox | Exaga: I advise openSUSE instead |
| 20:09 | Exaga | Artox: no ty mate lol |
| 20:09 | Artox | well, kermit666, why not use igorpec's images |
| 20:09 | Exaga | SUSE is not a distro i like |
| 20:09 | Artox | that fine with me |
| 20:09 | Exaga | it's not the worst IMHO but it's close |
| 20:09 | Exaga | cantOS is the worst |
| 20:10 | Artox | now thats no longer fine with me obviously |
| 20:10 | Exaga | each to their own mate :> |
| 20:10 | Exaga | the world would be boring if we all used windows lol |
| 20:10 | Artox | indeed |
| 20:10 | kermit666 | Artox: this one? http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/08/19/cubox-i-hummingboard-debian-sd-image/ |
| 20:10 | Artox | nearly |
| 20:10 | Artox | yes, and no :) |
| 20:11 | Artox | http://www.solid-run.com/community/topic1573.html |
| 20:11 | Artox | http://cubie.nobrainz.de/downloads/Cubox-i_Debian_1.9_wheezy.zip |
| 20:11 | Artox | thats a command-line only image |
| 20:11 | Humpelstilzchen | igors image doesn't have video acceleration (if you need id) |
| 20:11 | Humpelstilzchen | *it |
| 20:11 | Artox | Humpelstilzchen: thats what I am going to add in the coming days/weeks |
| 20:12 | Humpelstilzchen | Artox: good luck, pretty complicated |
| 20:12 | Artox | I got it for opensuse already |
| 20:12 | Artox | it won't be any harder with debian |
| 20:12 | Humpelstilzchen | it took me about two days |
| 20:12 | Exaga | Humpelstilzchen: on a cubox? |
| 20:12 | Humpelstilzchen | and was really fragile |
| 20:12 | Artox | it is going to be a matter of apt-get install vivante-drv-x11 |
| 20:13 | Exaga | lol Artox :D |
| 20:13 | Exaga | apt-get -y install ? |
| 20:13 | Artox | why -y? |
| 20:13 | Humpelstilzchen | hmm for the x11 driver ... it requires a specific x11 version |
| 20:13 | Artox | I expect there to not be any questions |
| 20:13 | Exaga | skips the questions |
| 20:14 | Exaga | there are always questions |
| 20:14 | Humpelstilzchen | Artox: you are going to create a deb? |
| 20:14 | Catwich | Humpelstilzchen: believe me, I know about it |
| 20:14 | Catwich | yes |
| 20:15 | Catwich | http://www.solid-run.com/community/post9991.html#p9991 there you go |
| 20:22 | kermit666 | Artox, Humpelstilzchen: I took a look at Igor's images - they appear to be a limo (auto-resizing, ssh key regeneration), but unfortunately only for Cubox-i. I still have a Cubox Pro |
| 21:06 | Catwich | oh, the regular cubox, aka dove ..... |
| 21:06 | Catwich | kermit666: well, sorry, no clue about that |
| 21:06 | Catwich | but there are people using it |
| 21:06 | kermit666 | Catwich: ok, thanks. I'll try to dig deeper through the forums. |
| 21:07 | Artox | there might be an *old* forum |
| 21:08 | Artox | hmmm |
| 21:08 | Artox | I would have lin ke this: http://www.solid-run.com/archive/phpbb/ but .... |
| 22:06 | earthy | Artox: you have vpu / gpu working on open suse? |
| 22:06 | earthy | with a current XOrg or an old one? |
| 22:08 | earthy | (and do you have the src rpms handy? :)) |
| 22:34 | Artox | earthy: xorg 1.14 |
| 22:34 | Artox | I havent tried anything with the latest xorg yet |
| 22:34 | Artox | its on my todo-list |
| 22:34 | Artox | but thats it |
| 22:34 | Artox | and, some things are a bit buggy |
| 22:35 | Artox | but glmark works |
| 22:35 | Artox | src rpms for? |
| 22:35 | Artox | xorg? |
| 22:35 | Artox | or vpu? |
| 22:35 | Artox | gpu? |
| 22:46 | earthy | vpu / gpu |
| 22:46 | Artox | well |
| 22:46 | Artox | there are none :) |
| 22:46 | Artox | because its binary packages |
| 22:46 | Artox | I used fpm to create the RPMs |
| 22:47 | Artox | https://github.com/Artox/vivante-packaging/tree/master/gpu-viv-bin |
| 22:47 | earthy | ah, so you've simply taken the vivante drivers and packaged them |
| 22:47 | earthy | right |
| 22:47 | Artox | exactly |
| 22:48 | Artox | https://github.com/Artox/vivante-packaging/blob/master/gpu-viv-bin/mkpkgs.sh#L59 |
| 22:48 | earthy | yeah, I'd gotten that from the freescale yocto stuff |
| 22:55 | earthy | unfortunately, that doesn't play well with ubuntu trusty tarh |
| 22:55 | earthy | (wrong xorg, for starters) |
| 22:56 | Artox | what xorg does it have? |
| 22:56 | Artox | 1.16? |
| 22:56 | Artox | all I did so far was fix build against 1.16 |
| 22:57 | Artox | but I am rather sure it won't work |
| 22:57 | Artox | omeone who knows more than me said the DRI api changed |
| 22:57 | Artox | someone* |
| 22:58 | earthy | yah |
| 22:58 | Artox | you can ofc try my patch |
| 22:58 | Artox | its in that github repo too |
| 22:58 | Artox | in this case you are out of luck |
| 22:59 | Artox | vivante has a new graphics driver out there |
| 22:59 | Artox | maybe it has a newer xorg driver too? |
| 22:59 | Artox | I have no idea |
| 23:00 | earthy | 1.15 |
| 23:00 | earthy | afaict |
| 23:00 | earthy | in ubuntu |
| 23:01 | earthy | but I was trying to get etnaviv/mesa to work at least for fbdev |
| 23:01 | Artox | I can help on etnaviv |
| 23:01 | earthy | so that you can have unaccelerated X or accelerated xbmc on the fbdev |
| 23:01 | earthy | oh, etnaviv compiles fine |
| 23:01 | Artox | but, unaccelerated etnaviv will come, some day |
| 23:01 | Artox | people work on it |
| 23:01 | deniska | If there was "make it work well" package for arch I would be so happy ^_^ |
| 23:02 | earthy | I'm just running into crosscompilation issues of the etnaviv/mesa branch |
| 23:02 | Artox | cross compilation is .. kinda hard |
| 23:02 | Artox | often |
| 23:03 | earthy | somehow it seems to toggle between not finding a working cross compiler in configure vs not finding the libdrm in the place that I point it to |
| 23:04 | earthy | it doesn't help that I'm running this in a virtual box running ubuntu on a mac ;) |
| 23:06 | earthy | I might switch to simply compiling using qemu-arm-static |
| 23:06 | earthy | or on the cubox-i itself |
| 23:06 | Artox | well |
| 23:06 | earthy | but that'd be giving in :) |
| 23:06 | Artox | you could use qemu-system-arm |
| 23:06 | Artox | on your mac |
| 23:06 | Artox | :) |
| 23:06 | Artox | you could use a chroot instead, not? |
| 23:07 | Artox | though yxoud still need to cross-compile |
| 23:07 | Artox | ....... |
| 23:07 | Artox | so qemu-chroot |
| 23:07 | earthy | yah, I'm actually building this stuff with a chroot |
| 23:07 | Artox | I am no expert on cross-compiling sadly |
| 23:07 | earthy | so that I have an image set up much like igor pecovnik's |
| 23:07 | earthy | only I'd like it to also have working xbmc :) |
| 23:08 | Artox | keep dreaming :) |
| 23:08 | earthy | s/dreaming/working/ |
| 23:09 | earthy | but the next buildrun has started |
| 23:10 | earthy | time to hit the sack... and check on it tomorrow. |
| 23:13 | earthy | (and it should be possible, given that OpenElec has a working XBMC and Igor has a working debian... I already adapted Igor's stuff to a working ubuntu) |
| 23:15 | Artox | openelec is not using Xorg iI believe |
| 23:15 | Artox | framebuffer mode is so much simpler |
| 23:15 | Artox | and better supported |
| 23:15 | Artox | especially since android just runs on it |
| 23:50 | Artox | earthy: why dont you jsut rebuild the xorg 1.14? |
| 23:51 | Artox | you can find the ubuntu package sources in some ubuntu or debian git repo |
