Nov 30 21:04:45 <davedoom> anybody here?
Nov 30 21:05:25 <davedoom> I'm getting ready to flash my gemini
Nov 30 21:08:40 <TheKit> davedoom, it is not produced in October/November?
Nov 30 21:09:12 <davedoom> no.  I got it about six months ago.  I just opened the box ;-)
Nov 30 21:10:22 <TheKit> ok, that's fine then (we got a revision with different LCD controller which needs updated kernel/bootloader)
Nov 30 21:10:46 <davedoom> It says "please load a scatter file before execution"
Nov 30 21:10:59 <davedoom> sounds pretty ominous.  Am I being executed?
Nov 30 21:11:03 <davedoom> by whom?
Nov 30 21:11:29 <davedoom> It has an x27
Nov 30 21:26:34 <davedoom> I found a web site that will shoot out a scatter file.  Is that kind of like a shotgun scatter?  Is that what they mean by execute?
Nov 30 21:31:46 <davedoom> this partition thingy is setting me up with two 28GB partitions.  does that strike you as ... well small ... not to say way too small for debian?  What do you think?
Nov 30 21:32:29 <davedoom> don't I have 128GB on this thing?  What is the deal?
Nov 30 21:33:01 <ptotter[m]> depends on what you're going to install
Nov 30 21:33:19 <ptotter[m]> 28GB is a lot if you are careful with your software selections
Nov 30 21:34:09 <ptotter[m]> I have about 20GB in / on my laptop debian
Nov 30 21:34:12 <kilobyte> you can expect some trouble if you give too little to Android, even if you don't plan to booting it once
Nov 30 21:34:26 <davedoom> I bought this exagear thing I was going to try wine with ms office.
Nov 30 21:34:42 <ptotter[m]> OTOH 28GB can be a bit small for android, so you need to be careful with software there as well
Nov 30 21:35:08 <davedoom> I also wanted to install sketch-up and don't know.  bunches of stuff.
Nov 30 21:37:59 <davedoom> I did plan to get a 400GB sd card but I wouldn't think of putting an OS on one.
Nov 30 22:00:39 <adam_b> davedoom: 64GB on the gemini, possibly you've been reading about the cosmo
Nov 30 22:02:28 <adam_b> remember that the 'linux' space is shared between debian, community port of sailfish and any future os's that install in the 'stowaway' form, though things can also piggy back on the android side too it seems (initial UBPorts release)
Nov 30 22:05:49 <davedoom> I have kicked in for a Cosmo.  I just made a snap decision.  This is going to be my wife's phone.  28GB is just too small.
