kirma | I'm interested about the specific compilation option/compiler differences between i386 and lpia architectures, where can I find the details? | 12:56 |
---|---|---|
persia | The gcc and glibc sources. | 12:56 |
persia | Well, technically, any given package might have a special flag for lpia, but in the common case, it would be in the compiler and core libraries themselves. | 12:57 |
kirma | there are some actual patches to gcc for it? | 12:57 |
kirma | what about compilation options? | 12:58 |
persia | The vast majority of packages don't have any difference in the instructions passed to the compiler, so any changes would be in the compiler defaults. | 12:58 |
kirma | ok | 12:59 |
persia | I'm not sure that there are real changes in gcc behaviour, but I'd suspect some changed defaults for gcc and glibc would be the primary set of discoverable differences. | 12:59 |
kirma | well, optimizations and targets... too bad that gcc doesn't really have a proper instruction scheduler for intel atom target, as far as I've understood | 13:00 |
kirma | and even intel is strangely silent about scheduling optimizations for atom, haven't found practically anything about it from their docs | 13:00 |
BUGabundo_work | hi guys | 15:31 |
BUGabundo_work | what would you install on an eeePC 901? | 15:31 |
BUGabundo_work | keep xandros, eeebuntu, ubuntu eee, ubuntu-umpc? | 15:31 |
playya | BUGabundo_work, the installes xandros sucks on my 701 | 15:33 |
BUGabundo_work | I don't like it either! | 15:34 |
BUGabundo_work | but its not for me! | 15:34 |
playya | i have a eeXubuntu installed and going to test ubuntu-eee next week,... maybe | 15:34 |
BUGabundo_work | I tried it for a while but couldn't do all the things I do on ubuntu | 15:34 |
BUGabundo_work | so I booted umpc | 15:34 |
BUGabundo_work | and is now doing some package updates BEFORE I install it | 15:34 |
BUGabundo_work | let me know how it goes | 15:35 |
BUGabundo_work | so I can use the knowlage on this eeepc | 15:35 |
BUGabundo_work | any blog with your findings? | 15:35 |
playya | nope. not really | 15:35 |
BUGabundo_work | I'll have to ping you then, here or on #ubuntu-buga | 15:36 |
BUGabundo_work | *bugs | 15:36 |
BUGabundo_work | humm wifi won't work on 901?? | 15:36 |
playya | here | 15:36 |
BUGabundo_work | and I could only make it boot from the right side USBports | 15:36 |
BUGabundo_work | from the left it wouldn't boot... | 15:37 |
persia | Wifi on the 901 needs linux-backports-modules | 15:40 |
persia | Also, the package updates one does before install won't affect the install : it's generally better to install, and then update. | 15:40 |
BUGabundo_work | ok | 15:41 |
BUGabundo_work | sometimes there are updates on the installer | 15:41 |
BUGabundo_work | I happened to need that back on gutsy | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | or was it feisty? | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | bah.. long time | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | got a crash with this updates | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | should I file it? | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | it was a kernel update crash | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | I guess I don't need to | 15:42 |
BUGabundo_work | people don't do kernel updates on livecds/livepen | 15:43 |
persia | There's always updates available pre-install : it's just that applying those updates won't mean that the install has the updates applied : one needs to apply them again. Generally, it's easier to apply them only once post-install. | 15:43 |
BUGabundo_work | and the installer window is a few pixeis bigger then the screen | 15:44 |
BUGabundo_work | persia: playya should the swap go on the 4GBs SSD or the 16GBs? | 15:45 |
playya | i don't use any | 15:45 |
playya | ssd and swap = not a good idea | 15:45 |
persia | I wouldn't recommend putting swap on an SSD. | 15:45 |
persia | I'm a *huge* fan of swap, but for an SSD system, compcache is a better way to gain the advantages of swap. | 15:46 |
BUGabundo_work | and does the system hibernate without it? | 15:46 |
persia | Hmm. That's an interesting question, as hibernate usually goes to a swap partition. | 15:47 |
BUGabundo_work | yep | 15:47 |
BUGabundo_work | that's why I askt | 15:47 |
BUGabundo_work | what happens with your sustem playya? | 15:48 |
BUGabundo_work | I need an answer on this guys! | 15:49 |
playya | i never hibernated my EEE before | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | can you do it? | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | right now? | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | please? | 15:49 |
playya | maybe test it when I'm at home | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | preatty please? | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | with sugar on top? | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | ahhh | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | I need to format the laptop now | 15:49 |
BUGabundo_work | I'll have to leave work in an hour | 15:50 |
BUGabundo_work | and the boss wants to take it home | 15:50 |
playya | use swap. | 15:50 |
playya | mom | 15:50 |
playya | one second ;) | 15:51 |
BUGabundo_work | playya: ping | 15:52 |
BUGabundo_work | humm is he here still? | 15:52 |
playya | no response in other channels :( | 15:52 |
playya | i currently have a lesson | 15:52 |
BUGabundo_work | I'll go with swap | 15:52 |
BUGabundo_work | the laptop has 2GiBs | 15:52 |
BUGabundo_work | so 2.5Gbs should do it | 15:53 |
BUGabundo_work | I can remove it later from fstab | 15:53 |
playya | or you test without a swap | 15:53 |
BUGabundo_work | but adding it would be much more work | 15:53 |
playya | and resize later | 15:53 |
BUGabundo_work | too much work | 15:53 |
persia | BUGabundo_work, Do be careful : swap on SSD might reduce the SSD lifetime. Of course, this might be completely false : it's an unverified rumour. | 15:53 |
BUGabundo_work | removing is easier | 15:53 |
BUGabundo_work | eheh | 15:53 |
persia | Whether it's true probably depends as much on how the SSD is implemented as anything else. | 15:54 |
BUGabundo_work | BHAAAAAAAAAA | 15:54 |
BUGabundo_work | I can't quit the installer! | 15:54 |
BUGabundo_work | xkill it! | 16:24 |
BUGabundo_work | lolk | 16:24 |
