matt_orsalveti, is that helpful? :)00:02
rsalvetimatt_o: sure, thanks a lot00:03
rsalvetiseems the patch is wrong00:03
rsalveti[    0.143920] OMAP3 Beagle Rev: unknown 3, assuming xM C or newer00:03
TakyojiIs it possible to flash a Linux installation from an onboard Windows CE environment, or would I pretty much be stuck to having to connect via JTAG to flash it?00:03
rsalvetibut as newer revs are all assumed as C, it works for you00:03
matt_ophew00:04
rsalvetimatt_o: can you reply the bug posting this link and that it worked for you?00:04
rsalvetiplease also subscribe it, so if I have any other test request you can help us :-)00:04
matt_orsalveti, sure.. I will move it to a more permanent URL00:05
matt_ounless I can just post the text00:05
rsalvetimatt_o: use paste.ubuntu.com00:05
matt_oI will definitely be interested in helping test because having a stable dev environment is my goal00:05
rsalvetiI don't think they remove the content once pasted00:05
matt_oI'm not so interested in hacking constantly and never getting anything stable *cough cough*00:05
matt_ooh look.. he's back.. hehe00:05

dmahoHi everyone, this is my first time using IRC chat16:03
dmahoIs anyone here?16:04
dmahoIs Ubuntu on the pandaboard stable enough for a beginner user?16:06
phhi've tested only beagleboard16:07
phhbut it should be stable16:07
dmahoOK cool16:08
dmahodo all the x86 applications work on ARM ubuntu?16:08
phhnot all16:09
phhlike no flashplugin16:09
dmahoThat should be ok16:11
dmahoI'm interested in the low power usage16:11
phhah.16:11
phhi'm not sure this part is working well16:11
dmahoIs it really under 10w?16:12
phhyes16:12
phhi'm using it with wifi stick + webcam it eats less than 0.5A16:12
dmahothats amazing16:12
phhbut i've never seen it going way below that16:12
phherr16:13
phhit's 0.5A @ 12V16:13
phhbut no clue how much webcam and wifi stick eats :p16:13
dmahoStill.. thats pretty impressive16:13
[7]12v through a switching regulator? (picopsu?)16:13
dmahoIs it OK to resell the beagel/pandaboards16:14
phh[7]: a proper power without much power loss16:14
phhah yes it's a switching regulator16:14
phh(I didn't know the noun in english)16:14
[7]ok, so probably about 5W total power consumption of the board and wifi/webcam16:15
dmahoI would like to set up these computers for people and sell them in a case, is that legal?16:15
[7]dmaho: ask your lawyer :)16:17
dmahookj16:18
dmaho^ok16:18
dmahothank you16:18
[7]phh: may I ask you which power supply you're using, which board (xm?) you're using it with, and whether it's working well?16:19
phhthe xm16:19
phhfor the power supply i have to search my archives :(16:20
[7]did it cost more or less than about $30?16:20
[7]if it was more expensive, i already know a cheaper one, so you don't need to bother :)16:20
phhno clue at all16:22
phhi'd guess it's http://radiospares-fr.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=661794816:23
phh( http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pth08080w.html )16:25
[7]oh, that seems to be a nice one :)16:26
[7]thanks a lot16:26
phhbut that's only the chip, you have to solder it16:27
dmahoWhich ARM device do you reccomend for an ubuntu desktop?16:27
phhpandaboard sounds like the best available16:28
