15:24 Artox [LMZ], speaking of opensuse, there it will get better with the next kernel and gpu driver updates
15:24 Artox debian, well on wjeezy you should already get a good experience
15:24 Artox jessie on the other hand waits for the updates too
15:32 topi` there goes freescale, well, there are other almost as good options, like the Tegras
15:33 topi` I was sincerely expecting to see a 64-bit i.MX series chip this year, but it probably won't happen
15:33 topi` well, of course it doesn't stop my Hummingboard running :)
15:56 [LMZ] Artox: Do you have an ETA for the driver update?

16:11 Artox now, I'll go to bed and hope its soon(TM)
17:50 S_Hennig Tried two different images (ignition and Debian) on two different SD-cards and two different power supplies. Am I understanding correctly that both images are images of a SD-card, not of a partition? I currently don't have a Linux box available to check the partition data on the SD-cards...
17:56 [LMZ] S_Hennig: Do you have VM installed, which you can install Linux and then GParted to check.
17:57 S_Hennig LMZ: currently downloading VM. Will give it a try.
17:57 [LMZ] <-- I don't have a HummingBoard FYI
17:58 S_Hennig I have just got mine an I thought I'd first try to download a pre-made image. But now I am not sure if I am missing something important here.
17:58 [LMZ] If you have a Windows Box, I use the Win32 Disk Imager to apply the IMG file on ym SD Cards.
17:58 S_Hennig Ok, that's what I did, too.
17:59 S_Hennig I am just a bit unsure if the images are images of the whole card, containing partition data, boot-loader image, kernel image, etc., or if they are only images of the system-partition.
18:00 [LMZ] Well, take a look in gpart, hopefully that will help you
18:00 S_Hennig Yep, will do so. Thanks.
18:05 [LMZ] Sorry I am not that much of help.... Im a n00b to this mini stuff but not for linux.
18:29 jnettlet S_Hennig, the images are of the entire card. This is important because the bootloader sectors are copied before the first partition and needed to bootstrap the SOC
20:47 Girhes is anybody watching 3d content on a cubox running openelec helix?
