**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 15 02:59:56 2011 Oct 15 03:43:38 Yay! Oct 15 04:50:56 Bah. Oct 15 05:42:31 looking for a good ARM development system .. doesn't have to be a tablet Oct 15 05:42:50 so far found trimslice .. probably try Asus TF101 .. let me know if there are other suggestions Oct 15 05:52:23 CodeWar: TrimSlice and the TF101 are pretty cool Oct 15 05:52:38 TrimSlice is probably slightly better though Oct 15 05:53:15 lilstevie, does it run Ubuntu properly .. not sure how to purchase one their site doesn't mention Oct 15 06:07:19 define properly :p Oct 15 06:07:26 it runs well if thats what you mean Oct 15 06:07:31 there are ofc still a few bugs Oct 15 06:07:39 and to purchase look at the resellers list Oct 15 06:32:11 Trimslice looks fun Oct 15 06:33:34 Meh I was trying to run ubuntu 11.10 from SD slot on my nook color... at least 11.04 hanged the power on of the device until the SD card was removed... this 11.10 doesn't even seem to get ead. Oct 15 06:33:39 read* Oct 15 06:35:18 oneiric works with trim-slice Oct 15 06:35:32 i just upgraded one yesterday Oct 15 06:36:19 and i'm thinking about building an installer for it Oct 15 06:36:49 or at least upgrade the natty version compulab distributes Oct 15 06:37:26 I wonder if Trimslice offers volume discounts... Oct 15 06:38:00 Those would make a sweet setup for an internet cafe. Oct 15 06:40:35 Man if I wasn't afraid of damaging my nook color physically, I'd rip it apart. Oct 15 06:40:42 i'm sure you could come up to an agreement Oct 15 06:40:50 I think it would make a pretty bada$$ ubuntu tablet. Oct 15 06:41:02 they sold the pro model as dev-kit for half the price Oct 15 06:41:25 There Oct 15 06:41:44 There's no notion as to whether or not it is reading this damn sd card. Oct 15 06:45:50 Feh... Oct 15 06:46:01 Two hours DDing that img for nil. Oct 15 06:48:09 Oooh Oct 15 06:48:23 Found something interesting while holding my n key :D Oct 15 06:48:36 a custom uboot menu Oct 15 06:49:53 Ah fiddlesticks... it lets me boot from sd, but hangs like the old Natty install Oct 15 06:52:16 Maybe the kernel is acting up? Oct 15 07:28:48 yeah, sounds like it doesn't like some of the nooks hardware or something like that Oct 15 07:29:16 hmm, try to suppress the quiet option in the boot and you might see what's wrong Oct 15 07:36:25 I would but it's a very rudimentary boot menu interface to uboot, that doesn't give any options other than selecting emmc/sdcard and uimage/wuimage Oct 15 07:36:57 I don't get access to anything of the oneiric's image it seems. Oct 15 07:39:34 I'm trying to figure out how to mount the second partition of this sdcard... with vold Oct 15 07:40:43 What is the fs type of the second partition made by DDing the arm preinstalled image? Oct 15 07:46:48 ext2? Oct 15 07:56:36 o.o Oct 15 08:08:15 ROFL!!! Oct 15 08:08:34 There's a typo in /etc/vold.fstab on the Encore (Nook Color) Oct 15 08:09:05 ## Vold 2.0 Barns and Nobel Encore Oct 15 11:27:41 hi all, oneric on beagleboard-xm howto? Mine loops on booting kernel? Oct 15 14:13:24 Hi all Oct 15 14:17:26 morning Oct 15 14:17:52 I have a question Oct 15 14:17:57 * Martyn is spending his morning installing oneiric onto a reference ARM platform server Oct 15 14:18:00 ever fun Oct 15 14:20:10 with the current state of Ubuntu ARM, will any of the Natty release kernels work upon the Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 ARMv7 processor? Oct 15 14:21:02 it's arm v7, so it should Oct 15 14:21:19 although the APQ kernel isn't natively supported that I know of Oct 15 14:21:28 Hmm Oct 15 14:21:58 so you will have to -re-compile a release kernel with the support you need Oct 15 14:22:07 not a hard thing to do Oct 15 14:22:11 Ah, thanks Oct 15 14:22:18 the problem is the usual one. ARM isn't a unified platform Oct 15 14:22:25 Yeah Oct 15 14:22:32 it's even worse than that, really. You need to enable -board- support Oct 15 14:23:24 We've got Qualcomm with Snapdragon, TI with OMAP, and nVidia with Tegra/2 Oct 15 14:24:36 all with their own unique features, with different calls Oct 15 14:25:28 I'll take a look at compiling the kernel later and loading it onto my TouchPad to see if it boots. Oct 15 14:27:34 ahhh :) Oct 15 14:27:40 * Martyn points to his TouchPad :) Oct 15 14:27:49 It will definitely boot Oct 15 14:27:56 there's already some work on the wiki to tell you what's what Oct 15 14:28:08 bootloader installation was the un-fun part Oct 15 14:28:43 Oh, didn't even notice that Oct 15 14:28:46 XD Oct 15 14:29:24 at least we have moboot to make this a lot easier Oct 15 14:30:03 I got u-boot working, but it's a bear to install Oct 15 14:34:18 nice Oct 15 14:34:29 Well, nice-er Oct 15 14:34:35 but moboot does the job Oct 15 14:35:38 ubuntuchroot is the most popular method, of course Oct 15 14:38:56 yeah Oct 15 14:39:22 I'd prefer the option of a native boot though Oct 15 14:41:33 woops Oct 15 14:42:02 accidentally closed my wIRC card Oct 15 17:03:40 hmm, does unity-greeter depend on GL stuff? Oct 15 17:03:52 * robclark is wondering why unity-greeter doesn't work but gtk-greeter does.. Oct 15 17:04:42 (although also possible something got b0rked in the natty->oneirick upgrade) Oct 15 17:32:57 robclark: I would suspect the upgrade. I had the same issue going from Oneiric Alpha2 up (weekly dist-upgrades when the pool was settled). Oct 15 17:33:23 Although I have not done a Natty>Oneiric upgrade yet. Oct 15 17:36:57 GrueMaster: I've made progress on my openbsd port to the panda Oct 15 17:37:02 I'm really excited :) Oct 15 17:37:16 Have fun with that. Oct 15 17:37:19 I am! Oct 15 17:38:00 Personally, I am not much interested in freeBSD. Now, getting Ubuntu on my Nook Color, that sounds like a fun challenge. Oct 15 17:38:22 freebsd is not the same as openbsd Oct 15 17:38:27 Just hope I have time for side projects this cycle. Oct 15 17:38:38 it does sound fun! Oct 15 17:39:19 Last cycle I used my NC for actually reading. How odd. :P Oct 15 17:39:32 :) Oct 15 17:40:10 At any rate, it is Saturday after release. Fragfest at a friends house all day. Time to go kill kittens (on screen). Oct 15 17:40:42 Yay! Oct 15 17:45:44 how can I check what apps are available on ARM Ubuntu 11.04/11.10 repositories Oct 15 17:45:52 particularly I m interested in the port of Java Oct 15 21:04:45 hi Oct 15 21:06:43 i installed Oct 15 21:06:43 gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi Oct 15 21:06:43 g++-arm-linux-gnueabi Oct 15 21:06:43 on ubuntu 11.04 Oct 15 21:06:43 i can cross compile successfully with gcc-arm.. , but g++ fails to link libc: Oct 15 21:06:43 /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.5.2/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: warning: libc.so, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.5.2/libgcc_s.so.1, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) Oct 15 21:06:47 any tips? Oct 16 01:33:38 apt-file might tell you where that ld lives Oct 16 02:47:47 Hi all Oct 16 02:48:17 I downloaded the preinstalled OMAP4 image, and when I extract it, instead of getting a .img file, I get a .raw Oct 16 02:48:23 Any ideas? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 16 02:59:56 2011
