**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 19 02:59:57 2011 Jan 19 04:22:22 any one familiar with the hsg-x5a telechips 9802? Jan 19 18:34:46 rcn-ee: Hi Robert, that problem with the creator script, I think its related to the laptop's card reader. I bought an external reader and it is working, at least it seems so. thanks for the help Jan 19 19:13:59 are there any plans for OpenVG, OpenGLES1/2 libraries on Ubuntu, but not using X11 ? ie... just the framebuffer ? Jan 19 19:14:51 rsavoye: well, that depends a lot at the driver Jan 19 19:15:37 most drivers that can work with x11 can also work with fb, but then it could be a build time configuration Jan 19 20:32:20 * rsalveti loves working with qt, -dbg package has 183MB! Jan 19 20:33:43 wee Jan 19 20:36:45 Hey, is ubuntu arm able to run on armv7 devices ? Jan 19 20:37:44 Yes Jan 19 20:37:54 with VFPv3-D16 Jan 19 20:38:18 IBYP ? Jan 19 20:38:22 What is that ? Jan 19 20:39:56 Ok i'll google it :) Jan 19 20:40:24 in fact, ubuntu can -only- run on armv7 (and v7a) devices Jan 19 20:40:30 there is no support for v6 any more Jan 19 21:22:28 Martyn: cool, that's axactly what i'm looking for Jan 19 21:23:11 Is that arm version of ubuntu usable with omap3 devices ? Jan 19 21:23:21 yup Jan 19 21:23:31 we even release images for beagle and beagle xm Jan 19 21:26:39 :) nice Jan 19 21:27:12 Have you ever run ubuntu on tablets ? Jan 19 21:27:24 omap3 tablets i mean Jan 19 22:16:07 Hey there , I have ubuntu-arm on beagleboard, my wireless connection continously dropping, I even turned encryption off, but now it can't obtain ip address I think.. (I don't know about network-manager I installed wicd , when encryption off I'm using iwconfig, dhclient but it can't receive dhcpoffer Jan 19 22:22:45 Samae: You could try our image on your tablet, but there is no guarantee it will work without some modifications, mainly to the bootloader & possibly kernel. Jan 19 22:23:17 ok GrueMaster Jan 19 22:23:26 This is what I wanted to try Jan 19 22:23:53 I'll run the image for omap3 as is, and then try to build/modify it if I need Jan 19 22:24:24 I already have a linux kernel working on it as well as e17 Jan 19 22:25:04 what's in the ubuntu 10.10 raw fs for omap3 ? Jan 19 22:25:18 it says panasonic raw image ? Jan 19 22:25:38 I don't know. never heard of it. Jan 19 22:26:04 Our images are at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ Jan 19 22:26:05 I still don't really know how i'm gonna deploy it to the tablet :) Jan 19 22:26:21 used this yep, took the tar.gz for TI omap3 Jan 19 22:29:22 I wouldn't know. It really helps if you have some serial debug port available on the tablet. Jan 19 22:29:36 That way you can get to the bootloader. Jan 19 22:31:14 Samae: generally it'd be good to have access to the uart, and the boot process Jan 19 22:31:30 then you have to build the proper kernel for it, with the options needed by ubuntu Jan 19 22:32:40 in case you're running with android atm, for example Jan 19 22:32:41 then just boot and ask it to load the ubuntu rootfs Jan 19 22:34:19 rly ? Jan 19 22:34:23 how ? Jan 19 22:35:04 rsalveti: is there any tuto on that ? Jan 19 22:35:41 Samae: If you have serial port access, you can tell uboot what kernel to load and the parameters to use. I can't remember the links off hand, but google for u-boot. Jan 19 22:36:06 What system is this? Jan 19 22:36:07 GrueMaster: I'm afraid there's no serial port access on my tablet :/ Jan 19 22:36:27 for now android + angstrom with an unknown bootloader by archos Jan 19 22:36:43 Does it have an OTG port? That may yield a serial port. Hook it up to a linux host and see what appears when it is powered on. Jan 19 22:37:00 It only allows to update a zImage + initram for linux side Jan 19 22:37:24 ok GrueMaster Jan 19 22:37:49 Well, that is the kernel and ram disk image. That is a start. Jan 19 22:37:52 hi I use a long time ubuntu on my diamond, good job. Any new repositories for updating ? Jan 19 22:38:25 the_eye_: Diamond? What distro rev are you using? Jan 19 22:39:09 Samae: What hardware are you running on? Jan 19 22:39:10 HTC diamond dm100 I use rhobuntu, ubuntu with lxde Jan 19 22:39:33 hmmm, good question Jan 19 22:39:51 apart from ARM proc i dunno much Jan 19 22:41:34 the_eye_: I don't think your system is armv7 compatible. Jan 19 22:41:49 GrueMaster: it activates USB only for transfer new kernel an initram Jan 19 22:41:55 Which all of ubuntu is compiled for since lucid (10.04). Jan 19 22:42:25 so apparently to OTG port Jan 19 22:42:28 Samae: Does the system have a brand and model? Jan 19 22:42:46 How can I see that ? Jan 19 22:43:25 the_eye_: Do you have access to a console? Can you type "cat /proc/cpuinfo"? Jan 19 22:43:30 Oh yes GrueMaster, Archos 101 it :) Jan 19 22:43:45 Ah. Now I can look up the hardware specs. Jan 19 22:46:52 Problem is, it is quite new Jan 19 22:47:03 and there's not much about it yet Jan 19 22:47:33 Yea, I am seeing that. I found this post: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=37096 Jan 19 22:47:39 Not much headway though. Jan 19 22:48:41 yup Jan 19 22:48:48 Another interesting post. http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1648537 Jan 19 22:49:04 Looks like it may be possible, just not documented...yet. Jan 19 22:50:16 cool, I wish it could be possible Jan 19 22:50:30 I know the tegra2 based netbook from Toshiba (ac100) took about a month to hack ubuntu on it. Still not complete, but it is a closed system. Your system appears more open, so I would guess it will be done before the end of the month. Jan 19 22:51:05 :) Jan 19 22:51:06 Also, the Viewsonic tablet has been hacked, but it is also tegra 2 based. Jan 19 22:51:29 I'm not /that/ patient :> Jan 19 22:52:14 heh Jan 19 22:52:43 If it weren't for the price, I might get one. Might anyways once I get my tax refund. Jan 19 22:53:41 :) Jan 19 22:56:13 Its an ARMv6 can I do anything ? Jan 19 23:05:10 argl handhelds.org is dead :'( Jan 19 23:14:16 try this http://web.archive.org/web/20070630072525/www.handhelds.org/geeklog/index.php Jan 19 23:30:53 the_eye_: do you think they stored cvs repos ? Jan 19 23:31:08 I need update-rc from them :) Jan 19 23:31:20 I dont think so Jan 19 23:31:37 my openembedded build fails without this website :'( Jan 19 23:31:50 :( Jan 19 23:52:10 Sorry, got called away. Jan 19 23:52:50 the_eye_: Unfortunately, your system isn't supported by Ubuntu binaries past karmic, and even then it is doubtful. Jan 19 23:53:32 thanks for your time :( **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 20 02:59:57 2011
