13:55 JackM hi all
17:01 rabeeh curlymo: hi
17:01 rabeeh wanted to update you that pwm are enabled now; want to try?
17:57 Exaga rabeeh: \o/
18:04 rabee 18:04 * rabeeh is waiting for the great all mighty Slackware image to add to Ignition
18:06 Artox rabeeh: thats a good topic
18:06 Artox is opensuse added to it already?
18:25 rabeeh Artox: will be there in 2hrs
18:26 rabeeh i'm adding Suse, Arch and Geexbox (now that i have fdisk fixed)
18:26 rabeeh https://github.com/SolidRun/ignition-imx6
18:26 rabeeh ^^^ List of scripts
18:28 Artox rabeeh: I see, very simple scripts
18:28 rabeeh yup
18:28 rabeeh that's the idea; 20 minutes install + test :)
18:43 Exaga rabeeh: i'm close
18:43 Exaga rabeeh: i only have a few hours each day (if that) to work on this
18:51 Exaga rabeeh: i was planning on doing some beta testing with it this weekend
20:56 rabee 20:56 * rabeeh adds Arch to Ignition
21:09 kivutar Hi, what are these ignition scripts?
21:11 rabeeh kivutar: hold on for 1-2 hrs for snapshot
21:11 rabeeh but basically simplifying installation on CBi/HB
21:12 kivutar ok, something like NOOBS ?
21:14 rabeeh yeah
21:14 rabeeh well.. sort of
21:14 rabeeh it's actually the first CuBox installer, but graphical
21:14 rabeeh and yes Lakka is there
21:14 rabeeh for now i'm just putting everything out there on it
21:15 rabeeh but in some point i'll be tagging things like recommended, work-in-progress etc...
21:47 rabeeh Artox: which of of the non base images should be exposed to users?
21:48 rabeeh JeOS would be the base
21:48 rabeeh which one do you recommend E17 or XFCE?
21:48 Exaga good evening rabeeh :>
21:49 rabeeh hey Exaga
21:49 Exaga i have a question if you have time
21:50 rabeeh Artox: or better; which of the following should be exposed -
21:50 rabeeh http://vps.jm0.eu/suse/
21:50 rabeeh ?
21:50 rabeeh Exaga: shoot
21:50 Exaga rabeeh: when i'm setting console=ttymxc0 in uEnv.txt the console is blank until I hit the command prompt
21:50 Exaga any idea why?
21:51 rabeeh hmm.... nop
21:51 rabeeh should be there for 10 minutes until it blanks out
21:51 Exaga ok thanks anyway. i will try to work it out :>
21:52 Exaga i'm thinking there's no display output until udev loads ttymxc0
21:54 rabeeh if it boots fast then hdmi detection happens sometimes too late
21:54 Exaga well i see the console when i power on
21:55 Exaga then the kernel starts to load
21:55 Exaga screen goes blank... stays blank during boot until the login prompt
21:55 Exaga so you see no loading text
21:55 Exaga if i use console=tty1 it works normally
21:56 rabeeh jnettlet: any idea?
22:14 jnettlet Exaga, to get the console output on hdmi you need both console= lines. having just console=ttymxc0 means only send console output there. You get a command prompt once the OS as booted up because it starts up a VT and sends the output to the framebuffer
22:14 Exaga jnettlet: thanks, that's great info :>
22:14 jnettlet you just put the console lines one after another. console=ttymxc0,115200 console=tty1
22:14 jnettlet that should get you what you are looking for
22:14 Exaga yes i have tested with that
22:15 Exaga thanks very much
22:15 jnettlet np
22:18 rabee 22:18 * rabeeh adds OpenSUSE images
22:18 rabeeh OpenSUSE actually is the first to use custom options (marked as CUSTOM0, CUSTOM1 in the scripts)
22:19 Exaga SUSE is a derivative of Slackware <3
22:27 Artox [21:47] Artox: which of of the non base images should be exposed to users?
22:27 Artox ideally, http://files.jm0.eu/suse/
22:27 Artox and, ideally all of them#
22:28 Artox all 3
22:28 Artox if not all, take XFCE as the default
22:28 Artox it should give the best experience
22:31 rabeeh ok
22:31 rabeeh i'll change the url then
22:36 rabeeh Artox: what is the Factory variant?
22:37 Artox its an opensuse unstable image
22:37 Artox but alreay kinda old
23:33 rabeeh https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72661517/tbr/ignition.img
23:34 rabeeh pre alpha release of Ignition for trials
23:34 rabeeh testers needed ^^^^^^
23:34 rabeeh please download and flash, it requires mouse (keyboard and IR support will be added later)
23:34 Exaga downloading now <3
23:34 Exaga thanks rabeeh
23:35 rabeeh Ignition downloads a tarball from github - https://github.com/SolidRun/ignition-imx6 through github API
23:35 rabeeh it presents the user the icons, name and description per directory in the tarball
23:35 rabeeh the user can change the repo.url file inside Ignition to have his own repo (or can be changed via the UI)
23:35 Exaga nice
23:35 rabeeh more documentation will be added on how to create a custom repo.
23:36 Exaga i look forward to testing it
23:37 rabeeh Volumio added
23:37 rabeeh i wonder if anyone tried Kali linux?
23:39 Exaga rabeeh: i did a test install of slackware linux on the hummingboard i2ex and it took 35 mins
23:40 Exaga that's faster than my home slackware server
23:40 rabeeh which card are you using?
23:40 rabeeh micro sd card?
23:40 Exaga 32GB kingston class 10
23:40 Exaga just the usual standard version
23:41 Exaga i'll be interested to see how it compares to the hummingboard i1
23:41 Exaga everything is going as planned rabeeh. it won't be long before an installer is ready for public edification
23:44 Exaga rabeeh: i'll be using samsung evo microsd cards generally
23:44 Exaga i find that project sd cards tend not to last very long
23:44 Exaga so i use cheap standard cards for that
23:56 rabeeh Exaga: how do you install?
23:56 rabeeh do you have a URL?
23:56 Exaga not yet. all that will be constructed when the installer is ready
23:57 Exaga i have a workable image if you would like to play with it
23:57 Exaga but it needs some refinement and testing
