=== asac_ is now known as asac [16:15] Hi there [16:16] I'm trying to install ubuntu ARM on Samsung ARM CPU [16:18] ARM-ARM920 [16:24] karmic won't work on that, fyi [16:29] Killalotz: ubuntu won't support you hardware. However, you get effectively the same stuff from Debian [16:29] Killalotz: see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Arm/OtherPlatforms for debian install when not using official kernels [16:34] hah, suihkulokki stealing users :P [16:54] suihkulokki Debian Rules :D [16:54] suihkulokki I'm running Debian X86 on my webserver :) [16:57] thanks for the info, suihkulokki [16:58] armin76 to ;) [20:15] hello all [20:16] I'm looking for a list of mirrors [20:16] I'm trying to pick a mirror closer than the one on my NSLU2 installer [20:42] slick6661: Sadly, there's only ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports for now; we think about moving to archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu though [20:42] ok [20:42] I'm setting up a NSLU2 now [20:42] I'm sorry about that [20:43] I found the wiki was a little out dated [20:43] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2 [20:43] been updating it too :D [20:45] slick6661: you are aware it's a dead end, right? karmic won't run on it. [20:45] well I've noticed there wasn't a karmic port for it but I wasn't totally sure why [20:46] that kind of sucks [20:46] 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] do you know the reason? [20:46] I see [20:46] i.e. karmic requires armv6 + vfp. lucid will require armv7 (and probably be built for thumb2, that will be interesting for cortex-a8 products) [20:47] well I as looking at getting a beagle board [20:47] but the slug has been so reliable [20:47] I guess I could always go back to debian [20:48] 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] I was hoping to keep a common command line between them all [20:56] as a general question to anyone on the channel what arm hardware does ubuntu run well on [20:57] I know about the Slug, beagle board [20:57] but I'm curious what else is out there [20:58] 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 [21:01] slick6661: the sheevaplug seems to work ok, apart from the dead-end bit of not being supported by more recent versions [21:02] my home zoo includes two beagles and a plug, and they all run 9.04 just fine [21:03] cool [21:04] has anyone gotten this to work on something like a buffalo NAS? [21:10] 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] yea [21:10] I'm just thinking about what would be a good slug replacement [21:11] and provide your kernel :) [21:11] beagleboard is nice [21:11] the sheevaplug is the default replacement of the slug [21:11] but I would prefer something nice and cheap (like the slug) [21:11] hmmmmm [21:11] oh I've seen this [21:12] I completely forgot what it was called [21:12] ut I saw this months ago and was just wishing I could remember what it was called , lol :) [21:12] what about the apple airport express [21:13] it looks just like the plug but with wifi and audio out [21:14] has anyone seen anything about that? [21:14] hrm? [21:14] nope i haven't [21:14] http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE [21:14] it's pretty cool [21:15] 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 [21:17] it waould be awesome if you could do the same with Banshee [22:00] itunes is a bit of a pain, due to the encryption.. [22:15] well I don't necessarily mean itunes [22:15] but could I use this on linux [22:16] and aparently there are packages to do that [22:16] I also found out that it's processor is a 200Mhz Mips [22:16] http://www.pogoplug.com/meet/ [22:16] that looks pretty cool [22:16] anyone gotten it yet? [22:23] pogoplug is similar to sheevaplug [22:24] yea, the first gen was a sheva plug with a sticket [22:24] the new one has 4 ports and there seems to be a decent community around it [22:25] 4 *usb ports [22:30] Gee, I really wish it didn't take HOURS to do package installs and upgrades on this system.
