| 09:46 | wbx | i have some time hacking on my clearfog, what was the latest u-boot patch to get distro boot up and running with u-boot upstream release? |
| 09:46 | wbx | agraf: you got some suggestions i remember. did something suggested upstream? |
| 10:54 | vpeter | wbx: Maybe you could look in armbian distro - probably they use upstream u-boot. |
| 11:55 | Artox | wbx, agraf |
| 11:55 | Artox | I put a patch on paste.debian.net at some point |
| 11:55 | Artox | I can dig it up |
| 11:56 | Artox | I still haven't gotten around to adding a few pieces from jnettlets version |
| 11:58 | Artox | anyone seen this error?: RPC: server 192.168.2.1 requires stronger authentication. |
| 11:58 | Artox | this is a real showroom situation here |
| 11:58 | Artox | worked at home, and now it broke |
| 11:59 | Artox | I am passing v3 to the kernel, so it can't be nfs4 |
| 12:03 | Artox | HAH |
| 12:03 | Artox | solved |
| 12:03 | Artox | ; /etc/hosts.allow .... |
| 13:39 | wbx | Artox: would be nice to get your last version |
| 14:08 | Artox | wbx, sure |
| 14:11 | Artox | wbx: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2LbUSI7NyY5dEFWQWMxeHc0WU5UeWlWSUxuQ3o1cVdnUmVn |
| 14:32 | wbx | Artox: can you give me access? |
| 14:33 | Artox | its not public? |
| 14:33 | Artox | hmph |
| 14:33 | Artox | hang on |
| 14:34 | Artox | wbx: done |
| 14:44 | wbx | Artox: thx |
| 15:07 | vpeter | or http://paste.debian.net/897715/ |
| 19:30 | Exaga | how many of you good people own a clearfog and how many of you would like to see Slackware ported onto this ARM device? |
| 19:35 | vpeter | I'm running LEDE on it and currently satisfied. |
| 19:36 | Exaga | very good vpeter :> |
| 19:43 | vpeter | I though you will be disappointed :) |
| 19:44 | vpeter | My use case is router, nas, tftp/nfs server. And lede provides all I need. |
| 19:44 | Exaga | i am never disappointed. solidrun creates and innovates so people can use the technology as they wish. there is no right or wrong way |
| 19:45 | Exaga | if it works for you then that's all you need |
| 19:45 | Exaga | i'm just trying to get a feel for the time and effort i might put into such a project |
| 19:45 | Exaga | i think the problem mainly is... people's perception of slackware in general |
| 19:46 | Exaga | they think it is an outdated operating system that has no place in this modern age |
| 19:46 | Exaga | and that's as much a rumour as it is a belief |
| 19:47 | Exaga | however, slackware is whatever you want it to be. it can be installed and configured to perform many functions and roles |
| 19:47 | Exaga | my question is, do i waste time porting slackware onto the clearfog for public use |
| 19:47 | Exaga | that's what i'm trying to discern :> |
| 19:48 | vpeter | I touch it only once 15 years back when I was testing which distro should I use. At the end I choosed ubuntu because of much popularity. |
| 19:48 | Exaga | yes, ubuntu is very easy to use and maintain |
| 19:48 | Exaga | slackware is for those who want to be more involved in managing their linux system |
| 19:49 | Exaga | initially, i hasten to add |
| 19:49 | Exaga | i've yet to find a more stable and reliable operating system than slackware |
| 19:49 | vpeter | What I like at that time without much Linux knowledge was asking google "how to do something + ubuntu". And there were direct instructions. |
| 19:49 | Exaga | yes, very easy isn't it? :> |
| 19:50 | Exaga | you can point n click and qpt-get your way to glory |
| 19:50 | Exaga | apt* |
| 19:50 | vpeter | Yes. But I'm sure there are users with diferent needs and preferences out there. |
| 19:50 | Exaga | of course |
| 19:51 | Exaga | ubuntu is the first linux distro i advise new users to try |
| 19:51 | vpeter | For me it is just a tool do to something. Just like Windows which is my primary system. Funny it is that most development I do today at work and personally is linux related :D |
| 19:51 | Exaga | i use windows for GTA 5 |
| 19:51 | Exaga | and Skype |
| 19:54 | vpeter | Mhm, Gentoo is still alive too :) |
| 19:54 | Exaga | only if you have the time to install and configure it |
| 19:55 | Exaga | last time i installed gentoo it took 3 days |
| 19:55 | Exaga | and another 2 days to configure and update it |
| 19:56 | vpeter | In slackware every package is build and installed from source? No prebuild packages? Only build scripts if I see correctly? |
| 19:56 | Exaga | yes, i believe it's the best way |
| 19:57 | Exaga | that way you learn how to manage and build your own packages |
| 19:57 | Exaga | and not rely on others to do it for you |
| 19:57 | Exaga | slackware really is the best education tool for linux that exists |
| 20:00 | vpeter | Could agree on that. |
| 20:15 | Exaga | no other linux distribution makes building your own packages as simple as slackware does |
