=== asac_ is now known as asac === Lopi|idle is now known as Lopi [04:49] 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? [04:51] AaronMick: its a via arm processor, or atleast the ones i got were [04:52] AaronMick: its pretty easy getting generic linux up an running, no clue about ubuntu [04:54] 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] prpplague: what type of arm? [04:54] prpplague: armv5? [04:54] 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. [04:55] heres what I know about it: [04:55] * Processor Clock Speed: 300M MHz [04:55] * Processor/Manufacturer: WM [04:55] * Processor Model: VIA-ARM VT8500 [04:55] rsalveti: via VT8500 [04:56] rsalveti: ARM926EJ-S [04:57] i have about dozen variations of the sylvania unit [04:57] yeah, maybe debian [04:57] AaronMick: you probably can run a nice variation of angstrom [04:57] yeah, angstrom would fit fine [04:58] AaronMick: i mainly purchased them to remove the MB and replace with either a beagle or panda [04:58] I read on the ubuntu forums that there is no BIOS so installing a OS is difficult, if not impossible. [05:00] AaronMick: hehehehe [05:00] AaronMick: no not impossible, not even difficuly [05:00] 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] AaronMick: i had linux booting on the sylvania in about 10 minutes [05:01] http://gitorious.org/linux-on-via-vt8500 [05:01] AaronMick: but if you aren't familiar with embedded linux, there is a learning curve [05:04] I'm up for a challenge. [05:05] 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 [05:06] AaronMick: techincally so is magic eyes, but there is more of a community [05:06] AaronMick: http://www.elinux.org/Augen_eGo:_OE-A730_to_OE-A733 [05:07] AaronMick: http://computerpartsdirect.us/augen-ego-oea736-akarm-arm926ak7802-248mhz-64mb-2gb-7-netboo-p-18868.html?zenid=00b848a5384a821ec4848e2ab993b8a3 [05:54] 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. [05:57] 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. [06:32] Yea, we have banshee on panda. === rsalveti` is now known as rsalveti === cooloney is now known as cooloney-afk === Lopi is now known as Lopi|idle [13:03] morning [13:05] hey hey [13:05] good catch on the meta stuff [13:05] (still no upload though) [13:20] argh, why still not updated? [13:21] probably waiting rtg [13:21] no idea, when i asked cooloney he had nothing ready yet and was waiting for tim [13:21] on a different topic, Amaranth got compiz running on panda with gles :-) [13:22] still a lot to fix it seems, but good to see it worked [13:22] geez ! [13:22] awesome news [13:22] http://www.realistanew.com/random/compiz/compizpanda2.png [13:23] great, lets switch the default UI :P [13:24] hehe [13:24] That's running unity-2d [13:24] Other than the Workspaces button it all seems to do the right thing [13:24] bah, cheater ! [13:24] :) [13:25] Better than unity itself actually, we actually get shadows on the top panel [13:25] ;-) [13:25] metacity with its own composite manager works pretty well here on non GL hardware [13:26] with compiz it can get laggy sometimes [13:26] i get a little banding in the dropped shadows but you dont feel any performance difference [13:26] It'll be pretty smooth then suddenly pause for a moment [13:26] for plain xfbdev thats pretty good imho [13:27] Oh, you're running the metacity compositor with no XRender acceleration? [13:27] yes [13:27] I guess you needed something to use that second core ;) [13:27] heh [13:28] well, its not that the cpu usage goes through the roof or so [13:28] i really cant see a difference apart from added bling [13:28] And you're running at 1920x1080? [13:29] heh, no, the ac100 only has a 1024x600 LCD [13:29] ah, now that's a different story [13:30] Although with tegra 2 you're missing the pixman neon optimizations so I would still expect some noticeable cpu usage [13:38] rsalveti, oh, btw, i dropped the dvi bits from the default cmdline on the weekend [13:38] ogra_: cool, was just going to ask you about that [13:39] yeah, i saw it in the backlog [14:06] does anyone here know where upower reads the battery capacity from in the sysfs entry? [14:11] lilstevie: cd /sys/class/battery/ and take a look? [14:11] hrw: it is more that it doesnt read the capacity from there [14:12] er well I mean, I am trying to get it to correctly read the battery capacity [14:12] lilstevie: check /sys/class/power_supply/*/uevent [14:12] POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=84000000 [14:12] POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=79110000 [14:12] POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=77565000 [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=battery [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Full [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH=Good [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion [14:13] POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=100 [14:13] oops [14:13] capacity = POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW / POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW for my x86 laptop [14:14] should have pastied that [14:14] that is everything in uevent [14:14] so check upower source [14:16] using upower -d [14:16] or what [14:17] apt-get source upower?
