Oct 31 04:28:58 <cobalt60_> aidalgol Nexus 7
Oct 31 04:29:44 <aidalgol> cobalt60_: That seems to still have many issues: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/KnownIssues
Oct 31 04:30:09 <cobalt60_> as far as ARM goes, I think thats as friendly as its going to get
Oct 31 04:30:50 <cobalt60_> as for low memory issues, that one is easy to fix
Oct 31 04:31:04 <cobalt60_> My AC100 boots into 65MB RAM use
Oct 31 04:32:12 <cobalt60_> though my solution involves removing Unity :)
Oct 31 04:42:38 <aidalgol> I was planning on doing that, anyway. :P
Oct 31 04:43:03 <aidalgol> The Nook Color is reported to work very well with Ubuntu.
Oct 31 04:53:28 <cobalt60_> very interesting.  Do you know about Toshiba AC100?  Its not tablet but is ARM based.  I personally find that I wish it had more than 512MB RAM and larger than 1024x600 display
Oct 31 04:54:20 <aidalgol> I'll look it up.
Oct 31 04:54:38 <cobalt60_> And even the dual 1GHz A9 core struggles with simple things like an NES emulator, granted Tegra2 has no NEON
Oct 31 04:55:41 <cobalt60_> That Nook Color seems similar to the OpenPandora spec-wise, and so could actually probably run emulators fairly well due to the OpenPandora having a relatively large community behind it
Oct 31 04:56:25 <aidalgol> Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how the graphics compare with the AC100.
Oct 31 04:56:58 <cobalt60_> Although the hardware is there, software to take advantage of it isnt too common
Oct 31 04:57:25 <cobalt60_> But the hardware in the Nook looks almost identical to OpenPandora, you know what that is?
Oct 31 04:57:31 <aidalgol> I won't need much power for my out-and-about uses.
Oct 31 04:57:46 <aidalgol> Yeah, I was just looking at the OpenPandora and comparing it.
Oct 31 04:59:37 <cobalt60_> So the Nook Color certainly seems like a nice device.  Ive made do with similar limitations on my AC100.
Oct 31 05:00:16 <cobalt60_> But Nexus 7 may not be functioning perfectly with Ubuntu now, but I bet support will develop rapidly
Oct 31 05:02:59 <aidalgol> The Nexus 7 is also a bit out of my price range. :P
Oct 31 05:03:26 <cobalt60_> How much is Nook Color?
Oct 31 05:06:43 <aidalgol> $149
Oct 31 05:07:07 <cobalt60_> isnt Nexus 7 $200
Oct 31 05:07:25 <aidalgol> For the cheaper one, yes.
Oct 31 05:08:56 <cobalt60_> ok.  just for $50 you get 4x as many cores, 2x as much ram, 50% more MHz per core, 2x storage, video also many times better
Oct 31 05:09:12 <aidalgol> true
Oct 31 05:09:28 <aidalgol> It also hasn't been out for as long, so that's pretty good compatibility so far.
Oct 31 05:10:02 <aidalgol> I think I'll wait and see if it progresses quickly.
Oct 31 05:10:18 <aidalgol> Because, yes, that is a much better buy, issues aside.
Oct 31 05:11:03 <cobalt60_> I bet it will work very well for Ubuntu 13.04
Oct 31 15:12:59 <mfisch> ogra_: review: http://www.phonenews.com/review-ubuntu-for-nexus-7-21742/
Oct 31 17:03:46 <ieatlint> does the nexus 7 ubuntu image work on the 32gb version of the device?
Oct 31 17:26:50 <thealphanerd> hey guys… anyone playing with ubuntu on the nexus 7?
Oct 31 17:27:33 <thealphanerd> just got my device in the mail and have a ton of ideas of what to hack on…  was just curious if there were any bits that particularly needed work… and if anyone has thought about dual booting
Oct 31 18:30:48 <ben1066> ieatlint: yes, you probably want to expand the partition though
Oct 31 18:31:27 <ben1066> thealphanerd: there has been a lot of discussion about dual booting but I don't think anything has come out of it yet, it's not exactly straight forward, in regards to what needs work in specific you can look at the bug tracker.
Oct 31 18:31:48 <thealphanerd> ben1066: thanks for the response
Oct 31 18:32:35 <ben1066> also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/KnownIssues
Oct 31 18:33:25 <ben1066> you're welcome, just got myself a free upgrade to a 16GB cause my 8GB is faulty :P
Oct 31 18:42:41 <thealphanerd> thanks
Oct 31 21:18:24 <thealphanerd> hey all
Oct 31 21:18:29 <thealphanerd> so my 32 GB nexus 7 showed up today
Oct 31 21:18:36 <thealphanerd> just in the process of doing the ubuntu install
Oct 31 21:18:44 <thealphanerd> if you guys want confirmation of stuff working on that device
Oct 31 21:19:26 <ieatlint> i also just finished installing it on the 32gb version
Oct 31 21:19:32 <ieatlint> working fine so far, presently installing ssh
Oct 31 21:20:00 <thealphanerd> woot
Oct 31 21:20:14 <thealphanerd> ieatlint: have you resized the drive yet?
Oct 31 21:20:22 <ieatlint> nope
Oct 31 21:20:43 <ieatlint> ssh was #1 thing to do because i don't have a usb-otg cable with me to get a keyboard attached
Oct 31 21:20:53 <thealphanerd> ditto
Oct 31 21:21:02 <thealphanerd> install avahi daemon too
Oct 31 21:21:05 <thealphanerd> will make things simple
Oct 31 21:21:38 <ieatlint> i highly recommend that once the install completes and it boots into the os, to reboot once before trying to use it
Oct 31 21:22:07 <thealphanerd> thanks for the heads up
Oct 31 21:23:17 <ieatlint> avahi-daemon is already installed
Oct 31 21:23:27 <thealphanerd> dope sauce
Oct 31 21:23:35 <thealphanerd> ssh isn't though?
Oct 31 21:23:37 <thealphanerd> interesting
Oct 31 21:23:47 <ieatlint> yeah
Oct 31 21:23:51 <ieatlint> i was surprised ssh wasn't
Oct 31 21:24:02 <thealphanerd> I was suprised how quickly this howed up
Oct 31 21:26:09 <ieatlint> i wish the 8gb version was still available now, one store quoted me a $150 price for it, but they were completely out
Oct 31 21:26:20 <thealphanerd> dang
Oct 31 21:26:33 <ieatlint> for my purposes... storage space isn't really needed, and $150 tablet to run ubuntu would be fantastic
Oct 31 21:40:41 <gildean> iirc openssh-server isn't included in desktop installs either
Oct 31 21:42:55 <ieatlint> opengl working perfectly even... to the guys who worked on this, bravo, did a fantastic job and it will make my life a lot easier :)
Oct 31 21:47:29 <thealphanerd> it works!
Oct 31 22:10:01 <thealphanerd> ieatlint: what's the default password on this install?
Oct 31 22:10:13 <ieatlint> ubuntu/ubuntu
Oct 31 22:15:54 <thealphanerd> thanks
Oct 31 22:15:58 <thealphanerd> didn't seem to work the first itme
Nov 01 00:51:01 <u4and> Greetz
Nov 01 00:51:19 <u4and> I've a gs3/intl quad core version, and i'm interested in the u4a
Nov 01 00:51:33 <u4and> can this be forced to run on the device itself without being docked?
Nov 01 01:17:12 <u4and> wow
Nov 01 01:17:15 <u4and> durn dead
