| 11:19 | serphacker | hi, what is the effective eSata max speed on a cubox, I mean, are we limited by the BUS/motherboard |
| 22:43 | msre33 | hello |
| 22:45 | Artox | grreetings |
| 22:48 | xbv288 | hello anyone have advice on linux version for cubox that is fully functional out the box? |
| 22:49 | Artox | what is fully functional, to you? |
| 22:50 | xbv288 | hmmm the debian version doesnt have a functional web browser without some tweaking..something like puppy or ubuntu |
| 22:51 | Artox | well |
| 22:51 | Artox | I have seen iceweasel do its job |
| 22:51 | Artox | but again, what is fully functional? |
| 22:51 | Artox | avvelerated GL (,WebGL), VPU accelerated video decoding? |
| 22:52 | Artox | tehre is a really old, but ratehr functional version of ubuntu |
| 22:52 | Artox | other than that, you can get fully functional systems lacking hardware accelerated rendering and video decoding |
| 22:52 | Artox | like opensuse 13.2 |
| 22:53 | xbv288 | hmmm so is it the arm processor thats keeping linux on cuboxi from flourishing? |
| 22:53 | Artox | no |
| 22:54 | Artox | its companies liek vivante and freescale keeping important software closed-source, and not caring much for ease of use for those |
| 22:54 | Artox | I mean, on x86 nvidia is bad too, providing only binary drivers, but at least they sort of work well on most distributions now |
| 22:55 | Artox | and also a certain lack of manpower |
| 22:55 | Artox | there is only so much integrating binary blobs one can do per day |
| 22:56 | xbv288 | ah ok didnt know about vivante and freescale |
| 22:56 | Artox | I would point the finger more at vivante, the gpu is usually the biggest showstopper when it doesnt work |
| 22:57 | jnettlet | more updated GPU drivers are coming out very soon. Between those and the OSS ones we are making progress |
| 23:00 | xbv288 | was reading on wikipedia about vivante |
| 23:01 | xbv288 | i havent tried open suse for cuboxi how is it? I have the cuboxi-4 |
| 23:01 | Artox | I say its awesome :) |
| 23:02 | Artox | but there is a really nasty bug, a workaroudn has to be applied on first boot |
| 23:02 | Artox | since 13.2 we got both firefox and chromium in the repos! |
| 23:05 | xbv288 | hmmm |
| 23:05 | xbv288 | just read-up on wiki solid run on suse |
| 23:05 | Artox | its kinda outdated, the wiki-page is *only* about 13.1 |
| 23:06 | xbv288 | this is the first I have read about the new installer |
| 23:07 | xbv288 | thanks Artox Im going to see how/where I can get 13.2 and give it a spin on my cuboxi today I am running android on it now but was wanting to run Linux on it |
| 23:07 | Artox | use ignition to get it |
| 23:08 | Artox | and be sure to check the forum topic for teh workaround (last post) |
| 23:08 | Artox | you could say android was linux, you know |
| 23:08 | Artox | but it ofc doesn?t let you do anything typical to unix systems |
| 23:09 | xbv288 | yeah: ) I really like android..just initially envisioned cubox running a full desktop OS is all when first read up on cubox |
| 23:10 | xbv288 | but to be fair android runs amazingly well on cubox |
| 23:11 | xbv288 | thnx for the info back later /bye |
| 23:36 | deuter | do you have some chrome binary compiled with vpu/gpu support for vivante? |
| 23:36 | deuter | I dont want compile chromium |
