**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jul 08 02:59:59 2013 Jul 08 18:41:21 hey, anyone here using a Chromebook? Jul 08 18:55:38 mijk: yes Jul 08 18:56:05 did you install ubuntu using chrouton? Jul 08 18:58:53 no Jul 08 18:59:01 I used chrubuntu script Jul 08 18:59:22 once will sort out few things I will remove chromeos totally Jul 08 19:00:27 haha, that'd be good Jul 08 19:00:35 I assume you're using the Samsung? Jul 08 19:00:39 ARM-based Jul 08 19:00:44 yes Jul 08 19:00:53 okay, did you need to flash the firmware? Jul 08 19:01:04 otherwise you would not ask on #ubuntu-arm right? Jul 08 19:01:11 mijk: do what? Jul 08 19:01:15 lol, just making sure, just making sure Jul 08 19:02:07 flash the BIOS in order to go into developer mode Jul 08 19:02:15 I read an article that mentions this Jul 08 19:02:26 it is on other models Jul 08 19:02:27 but it's talking in general about all Chromebooks Jul 08 19:02:37 each chromebook has other way of going into developer mode Jul 08 19:03:00 the ARM just needs the keypress to get to it? Jul 08 19:03:01 arm one has it simple Jul 08 19:03:04 kind of Jul 08 19:03:22 press Esc+F4(aka Refresh)+Power Jul 08 19:03:37 keep Esc until get white screen with some text Jul 08 19:03:45 press Ctrl-D, then Enter Jul 08 19:03:55 sth like that - I always check on web Jul 08 19:06:00 that's all you need? Jul 08 19:06:05 that's awesome then Jul 08 19:06:26 I thought I was going to have to use git and compile a new firmware or something Jul 08 19:06:31 no Jul 08 19:06:48 no, I mean to get into developer mode Jul 08 19:06:48 http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/samsung-arm-chromebook#TOC-Entering-Developer-Mode Jul 08 19:09:52 so I still need to get a read/write u-boot then? Jul 08 19:11:49 no Jul 08 19:12:18 mijk: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/tag/chromebook/ maybe will give you some more info Jul 08 19:16:57 I'll just use crouton for now to be safe :P Jul 08 19:18:12 never used and do not plan to Jul 08 19:19:04 chrubuntu is probably the best way to go but I don't feel like bricking my chromebook trying to get Ubuntu to boot natively ;) Jul 08 19:19:27 you can't brick this device Jul 08 19:19:44 in worst case you will restore it to out-of-box system Jul 08 23:45:40 I'm confused. According to my understanding TS running Precise armhf should support udf. i've installed udftools through apt-get but it doesn't seem to work. Linux 2.6+ kernel should support udf. Am I missing something? Jul 08 23:46:07 EDIT I'm confused. According to my understanding TrimSlice running Precise armhf should support udf. i've installed udftools through apt-get but it doesn't seem to work. Linux 2.6+ kernel should support udf. Am I missing something? Jul 09 00:24:34 benbloom: cat /proc/filesystems Jul 09 00:24:39 the kernel may not have been cmopiled with it Jul 09 00:26:00 yes maxinux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5857005/ not there! is there a way to add support after the fact? Jul 09 00:26:14 recompile the kernel w/ udf support Jul 09 00:26:27 add it as a module, and make modules modules_install Jul 09 00:26:29 then modprobe it and pray Jul 09 00:26:36 otherwise you may have to re-run make Jul 09 00:29:14 hmmm. sounds like a big job. I've been thinking about starting with ubuntu-server from scratch instead of the preconfigured install provided by compulabs. maxinux, is there a good tutorial on how to cross-compile armhf on my i86 pc for use on the other device? Jul 09 00:31:21 there is a cross compile dev kit you download for that Jul 09 00:31:24 its pretty easy once its setup Jul 09 00:31:54 is that gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf ? Jul 09 00:36:00 I've only used ubuntu installers for this. but I've been wanting to shake my dependence (pun intended) on canonical and apt. i'm very comfortable on the CL and in bash... just a noob when it comes to the low level stuff Jul 09 00:37:55 benbloom: believev that be it Jul 09 00:38:13 and you set your CCPREFIX to arm-linux-gnueabihf- Jul 09 00:45:15 thanks Jul 09 02:00:10 so maxinux, Sorry to be a pest, but I've been following http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/03/27/cross-compiling-the-arm-linux-kernel-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ and I was wondering is there a config file where I decide which modules I want in and which I don't for this build? Jul 09 02:13:10 in the github repo its in is a .config file Jul 09 02:13:14 so you can simply make oldconfig;make Jul 09 02:13:19 or make menuconfig Jul 09 02:13:21 to update options Jul 09 02:13:44 thx. Jul 09 02:15:35 np Jul 09 02:15:43 most people dont cross compile on a daily basis ;) Jul 09 02:16:19 yeah. It's getting more common though with all the micro-PCs coming to market. Jul 09 02:16:29 yah Jul 09 02:16:44 though a beaglebone is fast enough to compile its own kernel Jul 09 02:17:54 Trimslice only has HDMI for video output. I use it headless via ssh Jul 09 02:19:35 need to add serial support? Jul 09 02:19:45 id hope that was compiled it but not in the config.txt Jul 09 02:26:08 it has a mini-RS232 port. I'd like to be able to use my old laptop as an interface if I could. the preconfigured ubuntu install that compulabs has released is really not designed with the uses I am looking for in mind. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 09 03:00:00 2013
