May 29 11:50:21 <humphreybc> Hi everyone!
May 29 11:50:40 <humphreybc> Even though there were dozens of ARM sessions at UDS, I still don't know what the status is of Ubuntu on ARM. Does it work?
May 29 11:51:51 <humphreybc> If I went and bought one of these little crappy ARM netbooks, would it work? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Laptops/Laptops/Other/auction-293385640.htm
May 29 12:03:45 <ogra_cmpc> ubuntu on ARM works since jaunty (9.04)
May 29 12:06:19 <humphreybc> I'm having trouble finding a 10.04 UNE ARM download
May 29 12:06:33 <humphreybc> I'll probably buy this thing, if it works, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Laptops/Laptops/Other/auction-293057225.htm
May 29 12:06:36 <humphreybc> what do you reckon?
May 29 12:07:06 <ogra_cmpc> dont buy it
May 29 12:07:15 <humphreybc> why not?
May 29 12:07:30 <ogra_cmpc> 128M 400MHz is really nothing you will have fun with
May 29 12:07:59 <ogra_cmpc> the arm images that are produced are CPU/board specific
May 29 12:08:27 <ogra_cmpc> its unlikely that there exists a pre-made image for that device
May 29 12:08:37 <humphreybc> ohh
May 29 12:08:42 <ogra_cmpc> so you will need to find kernel source for it and build a kernel yourself
May 29 12:08:43 <humphreybc> what about this thing, it's got an atom
May 29 12:08:44 <humphreybc> http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Laptops/Laptops/Other/auction-292400909.htm
May 29 12:08:54 <ogra_cmpc> atom is intelo, not arm
May 29 12:08:59 <humphreybc> ya, i know :)
May 29 12:09:02 <ogra_cmpc> and all intel images will work on it
May 29 12:11:38 <ogra_cmpc> for arm, if you have a kernel and know which arm implementation the HW uses you can use the rootfs from scratch wikipage from the channel topic to create a rootfilesystem
May 29 12:11:56 <humphreybc> that sounds like more trouble than it's worth for me :P
May 29 12:12:19 <ogra_cmpc> then get an intel machine
May 29 12:12:29 <humphreybc> yeah
May 29 12:12:39 <humphreybc> i'm looking at this now, http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=293158559
May 29 12:12:55 <humphreybc> it's so pretty. I have basically zero use for one... but... cannot resist...
May 29 12:55:03 <ogra_tb> ha
May 29 12:55:25 * ogra_tb found why the touchbook doesnt charge 
May 29 13:00:44 <xorAxAx> rcn-ee: could you make your install-me.sh scripts dash-compatible? :) (This message has been postponed.)
May 29 13:00:46 <xorAxAx> rcn-ee: can i overclock the beagle to 600 MHz with your lucid kernel? (This message has been postponed.)
May 29 13:02:59 <rcn-ee> xorAxAx, just got your message... what part of the install-me.sh was dash complaining about.. (600Mhz is possible by adding mpurate=600 or mpurate=${mpurate} to your boot arg..
May 29 13:03:02 <ogra_tb> i think you cant overclock omap3 cpus dynamically
May 29 13:03:06 <ogra_tb> err
May 29 13:03:08 <ogra_tb> dont think
May 29 13:03:29 <rcn-ee> it is with the right pm patches. ;) (smartflex) but it's not in mainline yet.. ;)
May 29 13:03:30 <ogra_tb> oh, rcn-ee you can ?
May 29 13:03:35 <ogra_tb> ah
May 29 13:03:55 <rcn-ee> the basic stuff is there.. not change everything in the core on the fly stuff. ..
May 29 13:04:02 <ogra_tb> i always thought you need to fiddle with opp stuff and recompile
May 29 13:04:32 * ogra_tb wonders if he could overclock this touchbook then
May 29 13:05:06 <ogra_tb> though the speed is ok, replacing the weird kbd would be more intresting :)
May 29 13:05:07 <rcn-ee> for safety, i think there is max limits set by the core id...
May 29 13:05:36 * ogra_tb is correcting more typos while chatting than actually typing text
May 29 13:06:16 <rcn-ee> this is a good read on the PM stuff, on what's mainline, what's planned etc, i keep on it myself.... http://elinux.org/OMAP_Power_Management
May 29 13:11:32 <rcn-ee> hey ogra, here's a weird situation, when using the oem-config (not sure on it's correct name) with xfce4, after setting the inital user gdm doesn't seem to list the user, have you seen anything like that?
May 29 13:12:56 <rcn-ee> xorAxAx, fixed it was the first == 'armv7' check, the next upload install-me.sh's will have the fix
May 29 13:22:41 <xorAxAx> are there mplayer binaries with omapfb and NEON around somewhere?
May 29 13:23:09 <ogra_tb> rcn-ee, nope, havent seen anything like that
May 29 13:23:11 <rcn-ee> the ubuntu repo ones should have atleast the NEON...
May 29 13:24:16 <rcn-ee> yeah.. found a couple bugs from a year ago, but nothing recent, still doing some more testing before i file a bug..
May 30 02:06:22 <xorAxAx> hmm, i dont have any sound with alsa, what could be the reason?
May 30 02:32:12 <xorAxAx> i loaded the asound state from an ubuntu bug report and it worked. what a fscking driver with ~50 knobs
