IRC log of #cubox of Sun 07 Aug 2016. All times are in CEST < Back to index

00:13 kremlin _unreal_: hello
00:14 _unreal_ wow a real live person
00:14 _unreal_ I have the older marvell 510 cubox
00:15 _unreal_ do you know much about this one have one as well?
00:15 kremlin no, only the imx6q ones
00:16 _unreal_ I'd like to get a build of debian going on it but info is so hard to come by for it
00:16 _unreal_ how do you use yours?
00:17 kremlin i use it for writing device drivers for bsd
00:17 _unreal_ I'm not really sure what I want to use mine for
00:18 _unreal_ smart TV's have filled the gap quickly, I was looking to use it for an always on IRC pc but every build I've come across so far has been poorly setup
00:19 kremlin whats the problem with just running stock debian image with irc client in tmux session?
00:20 _unreal_ i'd rather have a gui
00:37 _unreal_ or I should say its getting the full support of the GPU going thats been an issue
00:37 _unreal_ do to lack of software release :/
00:39 flips I don't know marvel 510, but armbian or something should work?
00:40 flips As for GUI, weechat running and connecting via Glowing Bear is nice, IMHO
02:09 KodiakFi-at-home depends on what you mean by live
03:14 _unreal_ live?
03:40 _unreal_ I checked out armbian, nothing built for cubox only cubox-i
04:40 _unreal_ oooooO interesting, kali linux for cubox
04:40 _unreal_ https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-arm-images/
05:41 kremlin openbsd works on the cubox as well
06:19 _unreal_ really?
06:19 _unreal_ is there a pre-built
06:19 _unreal_ image
06:36 kremlin _unreal_: yes there is
06:36 kremlin there is a ramdisk filesystem you can dd(1) to a microSD card
06:36 kremlin pop it in, connect to serial terminal, tada
06:39 _unreal_ so no gui?
06:39 _unreal_ how is it for stability?
06:39 _unreal_ up-time
07:23 kremlin _unreal_: no gui (yet). although this is something i have been working to support very recently: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=147038010724538&w=2
07:24 kremlin _unreal_: w/r/t stability, openbsd is unparalleled. i'm not sure you could find a more stable OS unless you went realtime
07:24 kremlin let me show you:
07:25 kremlin $ uptime
07:25 kremlin 12:13AM up 184 days, 6:09, 1 user, load averages: 0.18, 0.19, 0.17
07:25 kremlin from this server i am running irc client on :)
14:37 Rond anyone tried running owncloud on a cubox?
14:42 Rond it's reallyt slow even with php-apc
16:11 _unreal_ nope
16:11 _unreal_ Rond, i'm doing updates right now just installed kali on my cubox original
16:12 _unreal_ seems good so far
16:12 _unreal_ updates are taking for ever
16:18 jnettlet Rond, is it cpu bound? Perhaps IO
16:19 jnettlet I know they run it on the RaspberryPi which is much slower than a Cubox
