| 10:29 | xobs | What's the easiest way of setting up an imx6 board (cubox/hummingboard) running Chrome in some sort of kiosk mode? F24 would work, if it was accelerated. |
| 10:31 | xobs | I saw a forum post on getting Xbian working, but ended up in dpkg dependency conflict hell. |
| 10:31 | jnettlet | xobs, I am actually talking with a customer about that. Depends how locked down you want the kiosk mode to be. |
| 10:32 | jnettlet | Right now the top choice is Tizen which has a KNOX kiosk mode. we are still sorting out if that is even possible to get running on our hardware |
| 10:36 | xobs | jnettlet, interesting. Doesn't need to be super locked down. My current frontrunner is Android, though a full Xorg would work too. |
| 10:36 | jnettlet | unfortunately our Android doesn't have a hardware accelerated webview |
| 10:39 | xobs | Interesting. But Tizen uses... Wayland? And has an accelerated webview? |
| 10:39 | jnettlet | it uses wayland and then the crosswalk engine (based on Chromium) as the webview |
| 10:41 | xobs | That seems very promising, then. I see stuff on their wiki about Hummingboard. Do you know of Tizen sample images I can try out without building Yocto? |
| 10:45 | jnettlet | I may have an older one. let me check. |
| 10:49 | xobs | Alright. I'll try building the image, anyway. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks! |
| 10:50 | jnettlet | I have one. Just burning it to an sdhc card to see how rough it is. My repo is pretty different than Leon's...hmmm actually he may have an image. |
| 11:06 | jnettlet | xobs, it is booting but no display. I am sure I need to roll back some change I made. |
| 11:07 | jnettlet | like I said I need to work on this anyways for a customer |
| 11:07 | xobs | jnettlet, alright. I'm trying to build Yocto at the moment. It doesn't look like it wants to work well with gcc 5.1. |
| 11:08 | jnettlet | if you are building yocto, then I would highly recommend sticking with fido |
| 11:09 | xobs | Also, who ships Makefiles with -Werror enabled? elfutils, apparently... |
| 11:09 | jnettlet | yeah..brutal |
| 13:19 | wumpus | "Also, who ships Makefiles with -Werror enabled?" I've always found that a terrible practice, I can understand devs want to run with -Werror, but it basically breaks all forward-compatibility, or compatibility with other compilers |
| 13:22 | jnettlet | lol...so everyone agrees except the devs still doing this |
| 13:27 | wumpus | it moves the burdern to distributors or users simply wanting to compile the software |
| 13:56 | xobs | My solution: add this to the bitbake recipe: (cd ${S}; find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/-Werror//g' {} +) |
| 13:56 | xobs | As a do_configure_prepend() step |
| 13:57 | xobs | So far I've had to patch glib, binutils, and elfutils. |
