Apr 15 08:59:39 <Aussie_matt> hi all, does anyone know if the later ubuntu versions support the allwinner a10 chip from the iso with out any mods?
Apr 15 09:38:48 <hrw> iirc no
Apr 15 09:57:11 <Aussie_matt> hrw: was that at me?
Apr 15 09:57:40 <ogra_> the iso :)
Apr 15 09:58:03 <Aussie_matt> ogra_: ?
Apr 15 10:02:10 <ogra_> doe your a10 device have a CDrom ?
Apr 15 10:02:28 <Aussie_matt> no, boots of sd card
Apr 15 10:03:11 <ogra_> why would you expect an iso then ?
Apr 15 10:03:50 <ogra_> (there are only either img files you can dd to the SD card or tarballs with rootfs)
Apr 15 10:04:24 <ogra_> but there are no images for a10 devices
Apr 15 10:04:40 <Aussie_matt> ah: so a ISO can't be put on an sd and function?
Apr 15 10:05:40 <ogra_> it can
Apr 15 10:05:59 <ogra_> you could indeed loop mount it
Apr 15 10:07:04 <Aussie_matt> but it wouldnt work?
Apr 15 10:08:12 <ogra_> there are no installer images for most arm machines ... you will have to assemble something yourself
Apr 15 10:09:15 <Aussie_matt> mmmmm sounds like a headache lol
Apr 15 10:10:37 <ogra_> well, its arm ...
Apr 15 10:11:02 <ogra_> you usually manage your bootloader and kernel yourself and use a rootfs from your preferred distro with it
Apr 15 10:11:11 <Aussie_matt> yeah im learning that the hard way lol
Apr 15 10:11:28 <ogra_> ubuntu supports a handfull of boards with the netinst installer but no a10 ones
Apr 15 10:11:38 <Aussie_matt> ah interesting
Apr 15 18:38:05 <lpalomares> hi all!.. looking at google to find out the status of this, cant find any new, only old pages will someone direct mi to a good link to read about status of ubuntu-arm ? I do have a nexus 7 to test
Apr 15 18:38:07 <lpalomares> thanks
