| AaronMick | I'm in the process of getting one of those Sylvania 7" netbooks that CVS sold on black friday. It has a 300mhz ARM processor, 128mb ram, 2gb HD. Has anyone had any luck with ubuntu on it? | 04:49 |
|---|---|---|
| prpplague | AaronMick: its a via arm processor, or atleast the ones i got were | 04:51 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: its pretty easy getting generic linux up an running, no clue about ubuntu | 04:52 |
| AaronMick | prpplague: I'm not sure what processor it really is, since I'm seeing a 1.2ghz arm processor, a 400mhz, and a 300mhz. I'll have to wait to find out. | 04:54 |
| rsalveti | prpplague: what type of arm? | 04:54 |
| rsalveti | prpplague: armv5? | 04:54 |
| AaronMick | prpplague: It's running Windows CE, and its said to be HORRIBLY slow. I'm hoping a juice-up with linux will help with the speed. | 04:54 |
| AaronMick | heres what I know about it: | 04:55 |
| AaronMick | * Processor Clock Speed: 300M MHz | 04:55 |
| AaronMick | * Processor/Manufacturer: WM | 04:55 |
| AaronMick | * Processor Model: VIA-ARM VT8500 | 04:55 |
| prpplague | rsalveti: via VT8500 | 04:55 |
| prpplague | rsalveti: ARM926EJ-S | 04:56 |
| prpplague | i have about dozen variations of the sylvania unit | 04:57 |
| rsalveti | yeah, maybe debian | 04:57 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: you probably can run a nice variation of angstrom | 04:57 |
| rsalveti | yeah, angstrom would fit fine | 04:57 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: i mainly purchased them to remove the MB and replace with either a beagle or panda | 04:58 |
| AaronMick | I read on the ubuntu forums that there is no BIOS so installing a OS is difficult, if not impossible. | 04:58 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: hehehehe | 05:00 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: no not impossible, not even difficuly | 05:00 |
| AaronMick | How would you go about doing it? I'm more familiar with PC's with BIOS's that you can boot and install from | 05:00 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: i had linux booting on the sylvania in about 10 minutes | 05:00 |
| prpplague | http://gitorious.org/linux-on-via-vt8500 | 05:01 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: but if you aren't familiar with embedded linux, there is a learning curve | 05:01 |
| AaronMick | I'm up for a challenge. | 05:04 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: but an augen instead if you can get one, and join the #didj channel, more support and co-development, via is pretty much dead to open source | 05:05 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: techincally so is magic eyes, but there is more of a community | 05:06 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: http://www.elinux.org/Augen_eGo:_OE-A730_to_OE-A733 | 05:06 |
| prpplague | AaronMick: http://computerpartsdirect.us/augen-ego-oea736-akarm-arm926ak7802-248mhz-64mb-2gb-7-netboo-p-18868.html?zenid=00b848a5384a821ec4848e2ab993b8a3 | 05:07 |
| GrueMaster | Damn. Something is not right with the omap4 images. http://members.dsl-only.net/~tdavis/panda-20110328.jpg is what it looks like on first boot. No oem-config, mega-interlacing. | 05:54 |
| GrueMaster | Reset seems to clear it up. At first I thought it may be my sd card or image. This is being too consistant. 3 different SD cards, two pandas, very weird. | 05:57 |
| GrueMaster | Yea, we have banshee on panda. | 06:32 |

| rsalveti | morning | 13:03 |
| ogra_ | hey hey | 13:05 |
| ogra_ | good catch on the meta stuff | 13:05 |
| ogra_ | (still no upload though) | 13:05 |
| rsalveti | argh, why still not updated? | 13:20 |
| rsalveti | probably waiting rtg | 13:21 |
| ogra_ | no idea, when i asked cooloney he had nothing ready yet and was waiting for tim | 13:21 |
| rsalveti | on a different topic, Amaranth got compiz running on panda with gles :-) | 13:21 |
| rsalveti | still a lot to fix it seems, but good to see it worked | 13:22 |
| ogra_ | geez ! | 13:22 |
| ogra_ | awesome news | 13:22 |
| rsalveti | http://www.realistanew.com/random/compiz/compizpanda2.png | 13:22 |
| ogra_ | great, lets switch the default UI :P | 13:23 |
| Amaranth | hehe | 13:24 |
| Amaranth | That's running unity-2d | 13:24 |
| Amaranth | Other than the Workspaces button it all seems to do the right thing | 13:24 |
| ogra_ | bah, cheater ! | 13:24 |
| ogra_ | :) | 13:24 |
| Amaranth | Better than unity itself actually, we actually get shadows on the top panel | 13:25 |
| rsalveti | ;-) | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | metacity with its own composite manager works pretty well here on non GL hardware | 13:25 |
| Amaranth | with compiz it can get laggy sometimes | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | i get a little banding in the dropped shadows but you dont feel any performance difference | 13:26 |
| Amaranth | It'll be pretty smooth then suddenly pause for a moment | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | for plain xfbdev thats pretty good imho | 13:26 |
| Amaranth | Oh, you're running the metacity compositor with no XRender acceleration? | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | yes | 13:27 |
| Amaranth | I guess you needed something to use that second core ;) | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | heh | 13:27 |
| ogra_ | well, its not that the cpu usage goes through the roof or so | 13:28 |
| ogra_ | i really cant see a difference apart from added bling | 13:28 |
| Amaranth | And you're running at 1920x1080? | 13:28 |
| ogra_ | heh, no, the ac100 only has a 1024x600 LCD | 13:29 |
| Amaranth | ah, now that's a different story | 13:29 |
| Amaranth | Although with tegra 2 you're missing the pixman neon optimizations so I would still expect some noticeable cpu usage | 13:30 |
| ogra_ | rsalveti, oh, btw, i dropped the dvi bits from the default cmdline on the weekend | 13:38 |
| rsalveti | ogra_: cool, was just going to ask you about that | 13:38 |
| ogra_ | yeah, i saw it in the backlog | 13:39 |
| lilstevie | does anyone here know where upower reads the battery capacity from in the sysfs entry? | 14:06 |
| hrw | lilstevie: cd /sys/class/battery/ and take a look? | 14:11 |
| lilstevie | hrw: it is more that it doesnt read the capacity from there | 14:11 |
| lilstevie | er well I mean, I am trying to get it to correctly read the battery capacity | 14:12 |
| hrw | lilstevie: check /sys/class/power_supply/*/uevent | 14:12 |
| hrw | POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=84000000 | 14:12 |
| hrw | POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=79110000 | 14:12 |
| hrw | POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=77565000 | 14:12 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=battery | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Full | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH=Good | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=100 | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | oops | 14:13 |
| hrw | capacity = POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW / POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW for my x86 laptop | 14:13 |
| lilstevie | should have pastied that | 14:14 |
| lilstevie | that is everything in uevent | 14:14 |
| hrw | so check upower source | 14:14 |
| lilstevie | using upower -d | 14:16 |
| lilstevie | or what | 14:16 |
| hrw | apt-get source upower? | 14:17 |
| lilstevie | oh right | 14:17 |
