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