[16:15] <Killalotz> Hi there
[16:16] <Killalotz> I'm trying to install ubuntu ARM on Samsung ARM CPU
[16:18] <Killalotz> ARM-ARM920
[16:24] <armin76> karmic won't work on that, fyi
[16:29] <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
[16:34] <armin76> hah, suihkulokki stealing users :P
[16:54] <Killalotz> suihkulokki Debian Rules :D
[16:54] <Killalotz> suihkulokki I'm running Debian X86 on my webserver :)
[16:57] <Killalotz> thanks for the info, suihkulokki
[16:58] <Killalotz> armin76 to ;)
[20:15] <slick6661> hello all
[20:16] <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
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <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
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <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)
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <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
[20:56] <slick6661> as a general question to anyone on the channel what arm hardware does ubuntu run well on
[20:57] <slick6661> I know about the Slug, beagle board
[20:57] <slick6661> but I'm curious what else is out there
[20:58] <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
[21:01] <kblin> slick6661: the sheevaplug seems to work ok, apart from the dead-end bit of not being supported by more recent versions
[21:02] <kblin> my home zoo includes two beagles and a plug, and they all run 9.04 just fine
[21:03] <slick6661> cool
[21:04] <slick6661> has anyone gotten this to work on something like a buffalo NAS?
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <slick6661> it looks just like the plug but with wifi and audio out
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <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
[21:17] <slick6661> it waould be awesome if you could do the same with Banshee
[22:00] <kblin> itunes is a bit of a pain, due to the encryption..
[22:15] <slick6661> well I don't necessarily mean itunes
[22:15] <slick6661> but could I use this on linux
[22:16] <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?
[22:23] <ojn> pogoplug is similar to sheevaplug
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <slick6661> 4 *usb ports
[22:30] <ojn> Gee, I really wish it didn't take HOURS to do package installs and upgrades on this system.
