| Killalotz | Hi there | 16:15 |
|---|---|---|
| Killalotz | I'm trying to install ubuntu ARM on Samsung ARM CPU | 16:16 |
| Killalotz | ARM-ARM920 | 16:18 |
| armin76 | karmic won't work on that, fyi | 16:24 |
| suihkulokki | Killalotz: ubuntu won't support you hardware. However, you get effectively the same stuff from Debian | 16:29 |
| suihkulokki | Killalotz: see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Arm/OtherPlatforms for debian install when not using official kernels | 16:29 |
| armin76 | hah, suihkulokki stealing users :P | 16:34 |
| Killalotz | suihkulokki Debian Rules :D | 16:54 |
| Killalotz | suihkulokki I'm running Debian X86 on my webserver :) | 16:54 |
| Killalotz | thanks for the info, suihkulokki | 16:57 |
| Killalotz | armin76 to ;) | 16:58 |
| slick6661 | hello all | 20:15 |
| slick6661 | I'm looking for a list of mirrors | 20:16 |
| slick6661 | I'm trying to pick a mirror closer than the one on my NSLU2 installer | 20:16 |
| lool | slick6661: Sadly, there's only ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports for now; we think about moving to archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu though | 20:42 |
| slick6661 | ok | 20:42 |
| slick6661 | I'm setting up a NSLU2 now | 20:42 |
| lool | I'm sorry about that | 20:42 |
| slick6661 | I found the wiki was a little out dated | 20:43 |
| slick6661 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2 | 20:43 |
| slick6661 | been updating it too :D | 20:43 |
| ojn | slick6661: you are aware it's a dead end, right? karmic won't run on it. | 20:45 |
| slick6661 | well I've noticed there wasn't a karmic port for it but I wasn't totally sure why | 20:45 |
| slick6661 | that kind of sucks | 20:46 |
| ojn | slick6661: support for older cpus is being dropped in the name of performance and efficiency. Makes sense since netbooks is the main target and they will all use modern cpus. | 20:46 |
| slick6661 | do you know the reason? | 20:46 |
| slick6661 | I see | 20:46 |
| ojn | i.e. karmic requires armv6 + vfp. lucid will require armv7 (and probably be built for thumb2, that will be interesting for cortex-a8 products) | 20:46 |
| slick6661 | well I as looking at getting a beagle board | 20:47 |
| slick6661 | but the slug has been so reliable | 20:47 |
| slick6661 | I guess I could always go back to debian | 20:47 |
| ojn | yeah, debian will probably be your best bet. Since it's not a desktop machine you're not missing out much on ubuntu features anyway | 20:48 |
| slick6661 | I was hoping to keep a common command line between them all | 20:48 |
| slick6661 | as a general question to anyone on the channel what arm hardware does ubuntu run well on | 20:56 |
| slick6661 | I know about the Slug, beagle board | 20:57 |
| slick6661 | but I'm curious what else is out there | 20:57 |
| ojn | freescale babbage and marvell dove are the main eval boards that canonical work with, I think. Beyond that, all I've been able to tell is that there's various OEM systems in progress but nothing on the market yet | 20:58 |
| kblin | slick6661: the sheevaplug seems to work ok, apart from the dead-end bit of not being supported by more recent versions | 21:01 |
| kblin | my home zoo includes two beagles and a plug, and they all run 9.04 just fine | 21:02 |
| slick6661 | cool | 21:03 |
| slick6661 | has anyone gotten this to work on something like a buffalo NAS? | 21:04 |
| armin76 | slick6661: you can install ubuntu on whatever you want, its just that you'll have to do it manually, not with the installer and stuff | 21:10 |
| slick6661 | yea | 21:10 |
| slick6661 | I'm just thinking about what would be a good slug replacement | 21:10 |
| armin76 | and provide your kernel :) | 21:11 |
| slick6661 | beagleboard is nice | 21:11 |
| armin76 | the sheevaplug is the default replacement of the slug | 21:11 |
| slick6661 | but I would prefer something nice and cheap (like the slug) | 21:11 |
| slick6661 | hmmmmm | 21:11 |
| slick6661 | oh I've seen this | 21:11 |
| slick6661 | I completely forgot what it was called | 21:12 |
| slick6661 | ut I saw this months ago and was just wishing I could remember what it was called , lol :) | 21:12 |
| slick6661 | what about the apple airport express | 21:12 |
| slick6661 | it looks just like the plug but with wifi and audio out | 21:13 |
| slick6661 | has anyone seen anything about that? | 21:14 |
| armin76 | hrm? | 21:14 |
| armin76 | nope i haven't | 21:14 |
| slick6661 | http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE | 21:14 |
| slick6661 | it's pretty cool | 21:14 |
| slick6661 | I've seen it setup to connect to a wifi network and allow someone using iTunes to play the music out of the audio jack on the device | 21:15 |
| slick6661 | it waould be awesome if you could do the same with Banshee | 21:17 |
| kblin | itunes is a bit of a pain, due to the encryption.. | 22:00 |
| slick6661 | well I don't necessarily mean itunes | 22:15 |
| slick6661 | but could I use this on linux | 22:15 |
| slick6661 | and aparently there are packages to do that | 22:16 |
| slick6661 | I also found out that it's processor is a 200Mhz Mips | 22:16 |
| slick6661 | http://www.pogoplug.com/meet/ | 22:16 |
| slick6661 | that looks pretty cool | 22:16 |
| slick6661 | anyone gotten it yet? | 22:16 |
| ojn | pogoplug is similar to sheevaplug | 22:23 |
| slick6661 | yea, the first gen was a sheva plug with a sticket | 22:24 |
| slick6661 | the new one has 4 ports and there seems to be a decent community around it | 22:24 |
| slick6661 | 4 *usb ports | 22:25 |
| ojn | Gee, I really wish it didn't take HOURS to do package installs and upgrades on this system. | 22:30 |
