**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 21 02:59:58 2012 Oct 21 03:10:34 who's awake? Oct 21 03:11:04 id to learn a bit about linux on transformer infinity / nvidia tegra3 SoC ... Oct 21 03:11:19 lilstevie: would you happen to be available/ Oct 21 03:12:04 awake yes, available? only kinda Oct 21 03:13:17 what's the current state of linux on a tegra system? are there any insurmountable hurdles to a full distribution taking advantage of the nvidia hardware? Oct 21 03:14:57 ...and if you've got a page to read i'd gladly do that rather than make you type a lot Oct 21 03:15:35 well that depends, there are a few things which simply do not have a purpose under linux :p Oct 21 03:16:15 the graphics stuff has been a pretty bumpy ride, but it looks like it will be working fine soon with the nexus 7 demo Oct 21 03:19:22 what few things are you talking about? also can you elaborate on the bumpy ride / nexus 7 demo Oct 21 03:21:05 well when are you going to use the accelerometer or gyroscope in ubuntu :p Oct 21 03:21:15 also the magnetometer Oct 21 03:22:03 those 3 things currently do not work on the tf201 at least, I would expect mostly across the board though, cause they are things that people don't think about Oct 21 03:22:17 dont care about any of those things Oct 21 03:22:19 as for the bumpy ride, nvidias drivers have been pretty bad Oct 21 03:22:31 they have drivers out for tegra3? Oct 21 03:22:48 MadRush, see :p as I said "a few things that simply do not have a purpose under linux" :p Oct 21 03:22:51 yes Oct 21 03:23:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2tGHfmM-TU <-- nexus 7 demo Oct 21 03:24:48 uh who did that, it wasnt cannonical was it? Oct 21 03:26:14 that was canonical from what I am lead to believe Oct 21 03:27:20 hmm apparently. Oct 21 03:28:44 when it comes to the infinity I am working towards a single kernel that supports all 3 tegra3 transformers Oct 21 03:28:51 i see Oct 21 03:28:58 to some degree it is already possible, I just need to look into side effects Oct 21 03:29:08 what exactly are you doing to achieve that? Oct 21 03:29:15 are you patching the kernel or something/ Oct 21 03:29:38 and, are HDMI out, speakers, cameras all working? Oct 21 03:29:54 well the latest source drop from asus has all 3 devices support code Oct 21 03:30:37 hdmi out <- I don't own a microhdmi cable. speakers <- oh boy are they fun, yes with bugs. cameras <- no Oct 21 03:30:46 hdmi out should just work Oct 21 03:30:55 but I honestly don't know Oct 21 03:31:09 well, i have a tf700t ... is there anything i can do to contribute? Oct 21 03:31:15 sound is either on, or off, no variation Oct 21 03:31:26 cameras I haven't even looked into at this stage Oct 21 03:31:47 MadRush, have you done any kernel dev, or do you at least know C Oct 21 03:31:50 hdmi is the important one in my book, so i can use it as a desktop eventually Oct 21 03:32:54 hdmi would be nice, but it is another thing that I have to buy just to test with, cause I will probably only use it once in the whole time the tf201 is in use Oct 21 03:33:13 ive yet to do kernel hacking but i think nows a good time to start. im handy with a few languages; over the summer i participated in an undergraduate research program where i attempted to write a javascript web app... NOT an expert but im a good learner Oct 21 03:33:49 ...what i mostly learned was a strong disdain for javascript and it makes me appreciate c/c++ and especially java. Oct 21 03:34:23 and as i continue this project i really wish we had a linux admin because im spending too much time screwing with my debian server and very little time writing javascript / php code. Oct 21 03:57:58 heh Oct 21 03:58:08 my issues are that I have been sidetracked with other projects Oct 21 03:58:10 like wheelie Oct 21 04:00:29 whats wheelie Oct 21 04:01:05 is linux on the tf700t doable right now? if so, do you have a URL (or several) i can look at/ Oct 21 04:02:59 http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ <-- this is wheelie. If you have not done it yet (and you haven't updated to the .30 ics update, or further (read jb)) do it Oct 21 04:03:56 and it might be, but I do not have anything on hand that you could read Oct 21 04:05:04 hmm would it suit me to read about how to do it on a tf201? Oct 21 04:06:02 not really, cause I haven't written anything up yet, been far too busy Oct 21 04:07:50 aside from wheelie and ubuntu porting to transformers, what keeps you busy? Oct 21 04:08:09 life? Oct 21 04:09:27 if you dont mind my asking, are you a professional programmer, a student perhaps? Oct 21 04:09:56 I am a teacher Oct 21 04:10:04 well student teacher Oct 21 04:10:46 but I have a lot of assignments Oct 21 04:12:14 computer science or something else? Oct 21 04:12:25 something else Oct 21 11:43:08 anyone with a TF101? Oct 21 12:11:36 asiekierka, maybe Oct 21 12:11:49 great Oct 21 12:12:05 because i'm trying to get Ubuntu on my TF101 for the 42nd time... Oct 21 12:12:13 the funny thing is, when i did it the first time half a year ago, it worked first try Oct 21 12:12:23 but i think i got it Oct 21 12:12:28 actually, i'm pretty sure i did Oct 21 12:13:19 heh Oct 21 12:14:24 man, is it just the version of OLiFE i found Oct 21 12:14:27 or is it incredibly buggy? Oct 21 12:14:42 ext3c doesn't work, had to change to ext3 Oct 21 12:14:58 and now i had to update the ubuntu rootfs as it didn't detect it from the main installer Oct 21 12:15:02 many many little issues... but oh well Oct 21 12:15:07 it is extremely buggy :) Oct 21 12:15:09 ...hang on a second. Oct 21 12:15:11 *checks README* Oct 21 12:15:23 "(c) 2011 Steven Barker " Oct 21 12:15:30 *facepalms* Oct 21 12:15:32 however the rootfs shouldn't matter as long as it is named correctly Oct 21 12:15:38 yeah Oct 21 12:15:41 it worked for the first five tries Oct 21 12:15:45 on the sixth i had to put it in separately Oct 21 12:15:58 heh, I have been meaning to update it Oct 21 12:16:07 i wish i could get arch linux working Oct 21 12:16:16 favourite distro Oct 21 12:19:52 currently I get as far as to "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" Oct 21 12:19:57 and that only happens when i hold volume-up for 1 second Oct 21 12:20:31 is there any more manual but WORKING way of installing Ubuntu on TF101? Oct 21 12:20:34 heh Oct 21 12:20:48 well most people just go dual boot Oct 21 12:21:10 fwiw the issue is the initramfs is too big Oct 21 12:21:10 trying that now... Oct 21 12:21:25 ugh Oct 21 12:21:28 brb Oct 21 12:40:27 lilstevie: installed with dualboot, same error :| Oct 21 12:42:25 asiekierka, with ubuntu as secondary? Oct 21 12:42:35 (do that as a kernel update Oct 21 12:42:42 i tried ubuntu as primary Oct 21 12:42:45 lemme try ubuntu as secondary Oct 21 12:42:50 also too late Oct 21 12:42:53 i already did a full one... oh well Oct 21 12:42:55 i have time Oct 21 12:43:01 heh Oct 21 13:00:02 [23157.551042] usb 6-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Oct 21 13:00:07 should i be rather seriously worried? Oct 21 13:00:47 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1294846/ Oct 21 13:00:59 happens when i try to get into APX mode after yet another failed install ._. Oct 21 13:01:11 this time the battery went low Oct 21 13:01:16 on rootfs install Oct 21 13:01:26 probably cause the battery is flat Oct 21 14:24:02 man, chroembook looks so good if ubuntu could get ported onto it **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Oct 22 03:00:00 2012
