Everything I've come across so far has not worked [17:25] BeardedChimp: Do you need to build your own? CodeSourcery's compiler works great. [17:31] Do I need to recompile their packages, the tarballs have it listed as IA32 and I'm 64 [17:34] really? that sucks [17:36] armin76, being 64 you mean ? [17:38] being 64 and codesourcery's not being 64 [17:47] BeardedChimp: Try lool's PPA for the cross compilers: https://edge.launchpad.net/~lool/+archive/ppa [17:50] Unfortunately that seems to be mostly karmic im running jaunty [17:51] ok [17:51] upgrade! [17:51] going to run the codesourcerys stuff anyway, see if i can force it [17:52] BeardedChimp: Just install the compat libraries and you'll be fine [17:52] armin76: Nah for the likes of rootfs etc. I feel better on jaunty atm [17:52] well, if you refer to the rootfs script (rootstock), it works twice as fast under karmic :) [19:07] I want to known something about the ARM version of Ubuntu. [19:08] Are the same drivers of X86, for ARM too? [19:15] what? [19:15] Salvad: which drivers? [19:16] For example: I want to use a Joystick in a device with Ubuntu for ARM. [19:17] Have one to recompile them in order to work on ARM? [19:17] Recompile the drivers. [19:18] you need to recompile everything [19:19] Is easy to recompile the drivers for ARM? [19:20] Does this distribution works with Nvidia tegra? [19:31] woot [19:32] Salvad: ARM is not a sub distribution, is an architecture, completely different to x86 [19:32] Yes, I know that. [19:32] Salvad: there's no nvidia hardware on arm [19:32] Nvidia Tegra integrates an ARM processor. [19:33] but i doubt it can run a linux distro [19:34] Why not? [19:35] well, i'm no expert, but how do you input data? does it have serial or something? [19:35] from where do you boot from? [19:38] Mmm. [19:38] Tegra is a system. [19:38] It compunds insternal hardware. [19:38] *Internal. [19:38] The Zune HD uses it for ezample. [19:39] *Example. [19:39] looks like i talk too much :P [19:40] well, maybe it could [19:40] how, no clue [19:42] http://www.chw.net/2009/09/nvidia-chrome-os-con-tegra-sera-grito-y-plata/ [19:42] Al parecer si va a soportar Linux. [19:42] Mmm. [19:43] Is an article written in Spanish. [19:43] It says that it will support Chome OS. [19:43] Salvad: i believe that drivers will cross compile in most cases [19:43] unless they're in arch [19:44] What cross compile means? [19:46] well, maybe cross compile is the wrong word [19:46] build on multiple architectures [19:46] for example, a few years ago i discovered that ARM was capable of using standard pcmcia drivers [20:05] Does Ubuntu for ARM has great drivers support? [20:09] Salvad: it has all the drivers the kernel supports [20:11] My joystick could possibly run on it so!. [20:12] I am waiting for the ARM netbooks to be on the market. [20:13] I hope a cheap one supports Ubuntu. [20:14] The will be very light in weight, low energy consuming and fanless maybe. [20:58] Salvad: there's one already, always innovating touchbook [20:59] Does it have a Touch scrren? [20:59] *Screen. [20:59] have no clue [20:59] *Has. [21:00] I am waiting for an Asus. [21:00] That will come in 2010. [21:00] It will be cheap apparently. [23:31] armin76, yes it has a touchscreen. i have one right now.
