[01:36] <log123> hello
[01:36] <log123> i installed ubuntu chroot on my palm pre
[01:37] <log123> but i cannot get any new software
[01:37] <log123> can anyone point me to the sources required?
[01:38] <log123> to acquire new software?
[01:41] <log123> like for the /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:43] <log123> anyone?
[01:45] <log123> hello?
[01:47] <rcn-ee> log123: deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports karmic main universe
[01:47] <log123> ah
[01:47] <log123> thank you
[01:47] <log123> wait
[01:47] <log123> what if i compiled it as a jaunty?
[01:48] <log123> just replace karmic with jaunty?
[01:48] <rcn-ee> yeah.. that'll work fine.. (quickly cat'd my board)
[01:48] <log123> i love ubuntu
[01:48] <log123> and now i'll get that power on my palm pre
[01:48] <log123> thank you ubuntu gods !
[01:49] <log123> and torvalds
[01:59] <log123> thanks rcn-ee
[01:59] <rcn-ee> no prob
[02:03] <log123> :O
[02:04] <log123> its updating...
[02:04] <log123> reading package lists
[02:05] <log123> i wonder...
[02:06] <log123> what will happen if i install ubuntu-desktop?
[02:06] <log123> i'll post my results
[02:06] <log123> and
[02:06] <log123> i wonder if any graphics drivers will work
[02:08] <rcn-ee> how much ram does that pre have?
[02:09] <log123> 256 MB
[02:09] <log123> so it should technically work
[02:09] <log123> right?
[02:09] <log123> and
[02:09] <rcn-ee> it'll be iffy...  ubuntu-desktop is pretty slow on a 256Mb beagleboard (500Mhz) go with xfce4 or lxde...
[02:09] <log123> it has a 500 Mhz processor
[02:09] <log123> :-/
[02:09] <log123> oh
[02:10] <log123> ok
[02:10] <log123> i'm installing xubuntu-desktop
[02:10] <log123> the processor is capable of 600 MHz
[02:10] <log123> possibly more
[02:11] <rcn-ee> usually i do "xfce4 gdm" then install the other xubuntu branded stuff as you need it..
[02:11] <log123> but its underclocked to 500
[02:11] <log123> oh
[02:11] <rcn-ee> 500mhz is fine, it's just the lack of ram or fast swap...
[02:13] <log123> well
[02:13] <log123> 256 is more than other systems i've worked with
[02:13] <log123> i had one with 128
[02:13] <log123> that could BARELY run lxde
[02:13] <log123> an old poweredge
[02:14] <log123> so
[02:14] <log123> but
[02:14] <log123> that was when i was just starting
[02:14] <log123> i oust-ed lxde
[02:14] <log123> and it only runs terminal
[02:14] <log123> hey
[02:14] <log123> EVERYONE
[02:15] <log123> GET A PALM PRE
[02:15] <log123> ITS BETTER THAN THE G1 AND IPHONE 3GS COMBINED!!!
[02:15] <log123> AAAANYWAYS
[02:15] <log123> its installing now
[02:16] <log123> so..
[02:16] <log123> i wonder if it'll run X11
[02:16] <log123> i dont see why not
[02:16] <log123> but
[02:16] <log123> you never know
[02:16] <log123> considering its already running Luna
[02:16] <ali1234> dude, n900 is better than palm pre :P
[02:16] <log123> wtf?
[02:16] <ali1234> it runs all that stuff by default ^
[02:17] <log123> lol
[02:17] <log123> but its the same speed
[02:17] <log123> xD
[02:17] <ali1234> it has the same processor
[02:17] <log123> and
[02:17] <log123> the same gpy
[02:18] <log123> *gpu*
[02:18] <log123> and same amount of ram
[02:18] <ali1234> well yeah, they're in the same chip
[02:18] <log123> xD
[02:18] <log123> bit
[02:18] <log123> *but
[02:18] <ali1234> it has a better camera though, and 32gb instead of 8gb storage
[02:19] <log123> its a 2 MP difference >.>
[02:19] <log123> and the pre is smaller
[02:19] <ali1234> and it has a silly blackberry style keyboard
[02:19] <log123> so?
[02:20] <log123> it fits in your back pocket
[02:20] <log123> does that n900 fit?
[02:20] <log123> and
[02:20] <log123> the major beef i have with that
[02:21] <ali1234> er, yeah it does, actually
[02:21] <log123> is that it A. has a generic name
[02:21] <log123> B. is made by Nokie
[02:21] <log123> *nokia*
[02:21] <log123> i'm not really fond of most of their phones >.>
[02:22] <log123> and B.
[02:22] <log123> *c.*
[02:22] <log123> the pre is smexy
[02:23] <log123> i mean
[02:23] <log123> do you remember ANY nokia phone that really made an impact?
[02:23] <log123> xD
[02:23] <ali1234> um didn't nokia *invent* mobile phones?
[02:23] <log123> duh
[02:23] <log123> thats why this argument is retarded
[02:24] <log123> but i think we can BOTH agree
[02:24] <log123> that the iphone sucks
[02:24] <ali1234> i'll drink to that
[02:24] <log123> i mean
[02:24] <log123> theres nothing thats worth doing
[02:24] <log123> theres near-Zero access to internal filesystem
[02:25] <log123> and it... wont run a chroot of my favorite distro
[02:25] <log123> ;)
[02:26] <log123> what abut that N97
[02:27] <log123> how about we focus our energy on making apple make the iphone more open
[02:27] <log123> xD
[02:27] <log123> yeah, right like thats ever gonna happen
[02:28] <log123> so
[02:28] <log123> do you think i should kill "Luna"
[02:28] <log123> the palm windowing system
[02:29] <log123> and then startx?
[02:29] <log123> and i wonder if the touchscreen will work
[02:29] <log123> the netbook remix gui would probably do this phone more justice
[02:30] <ali1234> on 320x480 you'll struggle to use anything really
[02:30] <log123> well
[02:30] <log123> the palm GUI works nicely
[03:37] <Martyn> Back
[03:38] <Martyn> log123 : I just finished packaging an image for beagleboard (with Zippy though)
[03:38] <Martyn> It has a patched kernel to deal with the zippy board's unique pinmuxed peripherals (SD card, 10 megabit SPI connected ethernet)
