Dec 22 08:31:10 <adknight87_bugsB> poke poke
Dec 22 08:31:46 <adknight87_bugsB> So I'm on ubuntu arm at the moment.
Dec 22 08:31:56 <adknight87_bugsB> through my phone
Dec 22 08:33:36 <adknight87> So has anyone got wine working on ubuntu-arm?

Dec 22 12:33:30 <foormea> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my nexus7. using the graphical installer ubuntu-nexus7-installer, copy seemed to get stuck for over half an hour. i see from the manual steps here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation that 2mn should be about what it needs to flash the device. can you confirm how long i should wait, roughly?
Dec 22 12:35:45 <Tasssadar> I am pretty sure that 30m is too long, something probably went wrong
Dec 22 12:38:59 <foormea> okay. i'm doing it with the manual steps and it's already flashing for 6-7-8mn
Dec 22 12:39:20 <foormea> nothing showing on shell, dmesg says nothing bad either
Dec 22 12:39:53 <foormea> maybe i'll try from another computer..
Dec 22 12:40:14 <foormea> otherwise i'll revert the mofo to android :D (if i can flash it back haha)
Dec 22 12:40:19 <Tasssadar> how big is the image after you extract it from .gz?
Dec 22 12:40:22 <foormea> 700mb
Dec 22 12:40:26 <Tasssadar> chm
Dec 22 12:40:40 <foormea> chm?
Dec 22 12:40:51 <Tasssadar> it got big again, fastboot has problems flashing that big images
Dec 22 12:41:04 <foormea> sending 'userdata' (705701 KB)...
Dec 22 12:41:11 <Tasssadar> not sure from which size it is, but it was something around 700mb
Dec 22 12:41:23 <foormea> ha. okay... should i file a bug?
Dec 22 12:41:50 <Tasssadar> I am not "from ubuntu", maybe they already know
Dec 22 12:42:04 <Tasssadar> I can upload you older image, which should work
Dec 22 12:42:09 <Tasssadar> and then you can apt-get upgrade
Dec 22 12:42:38 <foormea> that'd be great. hang on i'd have to setup account for you. unless you don't mind sharing via google drive?
Dec 22 12:43:33 <Tasssadar> actually the image vanhoof uploaded for me a while ago is stil there
Dec 22 12:43:34 <Tasssadar> http://people.canonical.com/~vanhoof/tassadar/UbuntuNexus7.tar.gz
Dec 22 12:44:24 <foormea> thanks Tasssadar i really appreciate it
Dec 22 12:45:03 <Tasssadar> I hope that it is small enough, because I did not try flashing it via fastboot
Dec 22 12:45:25 <foormea> how did you do it?
Dec 22 12:45:56 <Tasssadar> I am dualbooting it, so I just extract the image somewhere
Dec 22 12:46:49 <foormea> ohh... i'm pretty new to the non-standard android world, do you have a link to recommend to do this?
Dec 22 12:47:38 <Tasssadar> I fail to parse the end of that sentence - you want a link to see how did I do it?
Dec 22 12:47:52 <foormea> yes, please
Dec 22 12:47:53 <foormea> :)
Dec 22 12:47:58 <Tasssadar> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
Dec 22 12:48:19 <foormea> i meant, do you have a link that you recommend. sorry, i'm not a native english speaker. maybe you're not either. anyway. thanks!
Dec 22 12:48:35 <Tasssadar> no, I am not :)
Dec 22 12:49:55 <foormea> i'll try the dual boot later. for now i'll try the full ubuntu. if i can flash it.
Dec 22 12:50:12 <foormea> i got this nexus7 offered as a present, trying to find a use for it. i'm not convinced so far.
Dec 22 12:54:13 <Tasssadar> well, it's made for consuming content - movies, youtube, whatever. But I use it also as "textbook" in school, and sometimes instead of a computer - with ubuntu, or you can just chroot into ubuntu from android
Dec 22 12:56:59 <Tasssadar> I've got iPad 2 for a month, to try what is is like, and I could't not find a decent use for it - it is too big (and fragile) to carry and use in school, you have to pay $99 _and_ have Mac computer just to develop an app for it...
Dec 22 12:57:18 <foormea> easily watching movies via sshfs/nfs/something like that without copying the stuff onto the tablet beforehand would be a great achievement that i've found no easy way to do with android
Dec 22 12:57:36 <gildean> foormea: subsonic
Dec 22 12:57:43 <Tasssadar> I think alpha/beta xbmc for android is around already
Dec 22 12:57:53 <foormea> oh yeah?
Dec 22 12:58:08 <Tasssadar> http://xbmc.org/natethomas/2012/12/02/xbmc-12-frodo-beta-2-now-with-android/
Dec 22 12:58:25 <foormea> i'll try xbmc and subsonic. after i'm done playing with ubuntu :D
Dec 22 12:58:46 <gildean> with subsonic you can stream music/videos from your homecomputer/server to your mobile device and transcode to the bitrate available atm
Dec 22 12:59:13 <foormea> gildean: cool. what protocol does it use?
Dec 22 12:59:57 <gildean> it's basically just a http(s) server with a transcoder like ffmpeg in the backend
Dec 22 13:00:57 <gildean> it works well imo
Dec 22 13:01:12 <foormea> i'll give it a try. thanks!!
Dec 22 13:03:46 <foormea> Tasssadar: i can flash with the image you gave me!
Dec 22 13:05:34 <Tasssadar> how big it is after decompressing?
