**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat May 07 02:59:58 2011 May 07 15:05:10 Hi everyone, this is my first time using IRC chat May 07 15:05:54 Is anyone here? May 07 15:08:20 Is Ubuntu on the pandaboard stable enough for a beginner user? May 07 15:09:29 i've tested only beagleboard May 07 15:09:33 but it should be stable May 07 15:09:44 OK cool May 07 15:10:15 do all the x86 applications work on ARM ubuntu? May 07 15:11:07 not all May 07 15:11:19 like no flashplugin May 07 15:12:39 That should be ok May 07 15:13:00 I'm interested in the low power usage May 07 15:13:27 ah. May 07 15:13:31 i'm not sure this part is working well May 07 15:13:38 Is it really under 10w? May 07 15:13:48 yes May 07 15:14:10 i'm using it with wifi stick + webcam it eats less than 0.5A May 07 15:14:20 but i've never seen it going way below that May 07 15:14:20 thats amazing May 07 15:14:43 err May 07 15:14:47 it's 0.5A @ 12V May 07 15:15:01 but no clue how much webcam and wifi stick eats :p May 07 15:15:12 Still.. thats pretty impressive May 07 15:15:19 <[7]> 12v through a switching regulator? (picopsu?) May 07 15:15:43 Is it OK to resell the beagel/pandaboards May 07 15:15:43 [7]: a proper power without much power loss May 07 15:16:05 ah yes it's a switching regulator May 07 15:16:11 (I didn't know the noun in english) May 07 15:16:54 <[7]> ok, so probably about 5W total power consumption of the board and wifi/webcam May 07 15:17:09 I would like to set up these computers for people and sell them in a case, is that legal? May 07 15:19:24 <[7]> dmaho: ask your lawyer :) May 07 15:19:40 okj May 07 15:19:45 ^ok May 07 15:20:05 thank you May 07 15:21:07 <[7]> phh: may I ask you which power supply you're using, which board (xm?) you're using it with, and whether it's working well? May 07 15:21:26 the xm May 07 15:21:44 for the power supply i have to search my archives :( May 07 15:22:14 <[7]> did it cost more or less than about $30? May 07 15:22:32 <[7]> if it was more expensive, i already know a cheaper one, so you don't need to bother :) May 07 15:23:56 no clue at all May 07 15:25:32 i'd guess it's http://radiospares-fr.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=6617948 May 07 15:27:19 ( http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pth08080w.html ) May 07 15:27:56 <[7]> oh, that seems to be a nice one :) May 07 15:27:57 <[7]> thanks a lot May 07 15:28:48 but that's only the chip, you have to solder it May 07 15:29:24 Which ARM device do you reccomend for an ubuntu desktop? May 07 15:30:05 pandaboard sounds like the best available May 07 15:48:49 I've heard using 5V 2A with beagleboard which is what I am using May 07 15:48:52 seems to work ok May 07 16:07:37 aaaaand I'm on the way to Budapest May 07 16:07:45 inflight wifi rocks May 07 16:37:55 martyn: hehe May 07 16:38:01 martyn: yes indeed it does May 07 16:41:20 martyn, hey hey May 07 16:41:46 I have your serial cable in my bag... this time you're getting it back, damnit May 07 16:41:57 lol May 07 16:42:18 fine, i have a way better one now though ... with a less clunky plug May 07 16:42:26 and i just bought me a second ac100 May 07 16:42:47 now i can cross compile natively !!!
