| 09:17 | vpeter | heap_: I'm the only one who is looking on this project. and then there is another guy who is doing some testing. What quality do you expect with such work? |
| 10:27 | flips | vpeter: Since it's you, excellent quality! :-D |
| 10:38 | vpeter | This makes my day :) |
| 10:39 | flips | :) you still recommend the 3.14 solidrun kernel? |
| 10:40 | vpeter | Atm yes. But official images are using 4.4 and have broken sound on boot for a minute or two. |
| 10:41 | flips | if it's only on boot ... |
| 10:42 | flip | 10:42 * flips is a bit afraid to touch his ultra stable openelec installation, though :) |
| 10:43 | flips | (so nice when bluetooth keyboard and everything just works) |
| 10:46 | vpeter | Can't you just make another sd card and test? Without to broke something. |
| 10:47 | heap_ | vpeter: then is there any other distro where are more ppl involved? |
| 10:47 | heap_ | i mean osmc/openelec for cubox? |
| 10:48 | heap_ | im not judging the quality... just asking which one has most support and largest community.. |
| 10:49 | vpeter | No idea actually. I do know that there are not much LE users for imx6. |
| 10:49 | heap_ | hm thats strange |
| 10:49 | heap_ | i thought there was something ported for cubox |
| 10:49 | heap_ | even they sell one cubox module as a media center |
| 10:59 | vpeter | hw doesn't make a good product where sw is involved :D |
| 11:09 | flips | didn't know osmc was even working on cubox ... |
| 11:10 | flips | vpeter: Yes, make another card ... I have 2 or 3 laying around ... think I tested a debian image you or someone else here made :) |
| 11:11 | flips | hoping for a quiet week at work soon, so I can play with my cubox again |
| 11:25 | heap_ | vpeter: but it didnt answer my question ;/ |
| 11:26 | heap_ | is it really that hard? |
| 11:29 | flips | Just try? |
| 11:36 | vpeter | heap_: what question? |
| 11:38 | heap_ | what should i go for for a media center in case a want a stability |
| 11:39 | heap_ | osmc/openelec/libreelec .. dunno if there is something else for cubox |
| 11:42 | vpeter | geexbox also |
| 11:43 | heap_ | hm but in terms of stability/community/ |
| 11:52 | heap_ | vpeter: and the link you sent me there are images with -matrix, -sr-, -udoo suffix.. what that? |
| 11:54 | vpeter | matrix - tbs matrix device |
| 11:54 | vpeter | udoo - udoo device |
| 11:54 | vpeter | for cuboxi - LibreELEC-imx6.arm-7.95.3-sr-3.14.img.gz |
| 11:55 | heap_ | ah okay |
| 11:55 | heap_ | and is there any description of the installation process? |
| 11:56 | vpeter | https://wiki.libreelec.tv/index.php?title=Installation |
| 11:57 | flips | did most openelec devs follow libreelec? |
| 11:57 | heap_ | thanks |
| 11:57 | heap_ | then isnt the geebox most stable for cubox? |
| 11:58 | vpeter | flips: not most - all of them. |
| 11:59 | heap | 11:59 * heap_ shrugs :( |
| 11:59 | flips | I guess I should migrate, then ;) |
| 11:59 | heap_ | flips: to libreelec? |
| 12:00 | flips | yes, been running openelec for a long time |
| 12:00 | heap_ | why u want to migrate then? |
| 12:00 | flips | if it's not actively developed/maintained ... |
| 12:00 | vpeter | heap_: there are users which like geexbox, and then there are users who prefer libreelec. I hope you read what I wrote about two people involved in libreleec/imx6 development. And none of us are specilalist for imx6 :( |
| 12:02 | flip | 12:02 * flips had some issues with geexbox, a year or two ago, ended up running openelec |
| 12:03 | flips | there was also a debian version using btrfs, running kodi etc, but that required me to build or replace kernel upon upgrades to get bluetooth etc |
| 12:03 | vpeter | The funny part is that I'm using things from geexbox and xbian :) |
| 12:03 | vpeter | flips: ^^^^ xbian? |
| 12:04 | flips | ah, yes |
| 12:05 | flip | 12:05 * flips now has a dual boot setup, openelec and armbian ... But it's mainly been running just as media center for 10 months now |
| 12:06 | vpeter | How did you switch between them? |
| 12:07 | heap_ | well in that case i dont think libreelec is good way to go.. |
| 12:07 | flips | I have a script changing some symlinks, I think, from the booted os |
| 12:07 | heap_ | what about then geexob osmc or openelec? |
| 12:08 | heap_ | openelec dev is dead |
| 12:08 | heap_ | not sure about geebox and osmc for cuboxi |
| 12:08 | flips | heap_ why don't you just try? |
| 12:09 | flips | flashing and sd and booting is quite quick |
| 12:09 | flips | *an sd |
| 12:09 | heap_ | u wont get all the issues by just one run. |
| 12:09 | heap_ | im trying to answer general questions ... |
| 12:09 | heap_ | stability/ community and based on that will try to choose on |
| 12:09 | heap_ | one |
| 12:10 | flips | just run something, and switch if it's not working out ... |
| 12:10 | heap_ | hm |
| 12:10 | heap_ | if there is a chance to do the research why i should do that... |
| 12:10 | flips | that's my 5 cents |
| 12:10 | heap_ | run and try... |
| 12:11 | heap_ | i thought there is at least one officially suported for cubox |
| 12:11 | heap_ | osmc/openelec etc.. |
| 12:12 | flips | in 12 months the situation might be completely different anyways, just find whatever you like the best ... |
| 12:13 | vpeter | Current official LE image has sound issue and there is also some issue with Pictures. Didn't have time to look into this. But as flips wrote it is personal choice. |
| 12:14 | flips | vpeter: might be copying, not symlinking, if it's fat and not ext for the uboot files |
| 12:14 | vpeter | Yes, not some gui menu :) |
| 12:15 | flips | no, not so fancy ... I was considering making something, but I'm lazy ;) |
| 12:24 | vpeter | gpio button would be option too. |
| 12:31 | flips | Has anyone/solidrun ported newer android to imx6? |
| 12:34 | heap_ | whats running on cuboxtv? |
| 12:35 | vpeter | What you put in :D |
| 12:45 | agraf | vpeter: does u-boot on cubox support graphics? |
| 13:45 | vpeter | I think it shows solidrun logo. |
| 13:46 | Ke | btw. many people have been interested in the armada 8040 communit board, would it happen to have a irc channel |
