[05:15] <nathanel>  i really need help getting this done, it really pisses the ell outta me: i've downloaded ubuntu11.10 omap4 to use on PB, and the installer always resets and never completes... i use dd.... && sync as sudo
[05:17] <nathanel> help?

[05:27] <stlsaint> Lopi: you still around?
[12:05] <hoshi411> has anyone had experience using  update.zip in microSD on asus transformer?
[17:13] <MMlosh> Ubuntu's do-release-upgrade is behaving very unprofessinally when ran from VT1..  it calls  "xset" every other while..  now it made a pattern exclusively from 'xset: unable to open display ""  ' messages
[17:14] <MMlosh> (upgrading pandaboard's natty to oneiric..  may be still off-topic, though)
[17:16] <MMlosh> The messages also weird-up the "place where new line appears"   next line starts at the horizontal position where the xset line ended
[17:35] <MMlosh> oh great.. I missed a "user action needed" thing that asks  yes/no/details..     The message got scrolled away with the xset junk
[20:16] <FernandoMiguel> I assume using an arm device with a arm distro/OS will still impact 3rd party apps that are available to x86 even if source is available, correct?
[20:17] <FernandoMiguel> stuff like flash or dropbox
[20:41] <phh> FernandoMiguel: if sources are available, it should be almost easy to port
[20:42] <phh> there could be some problems on stuff with asm
[20:42] <FernandoMiguel> phh: oh really? good to know
[20:42] <phh> it's complicated to do softwares not arm compatible
[20:42] <phh> i just can't see how you could do that without doing assembly
[20:43] <FernandoMiguel> I'm in need of a new laptop. old one GPU died. considering trying to find an ARM powered device. but afaikt only ac100 is currently available
[20:48] <Quintasan> lilstevie: ping
[20:50] <phh> FernandoMiguel: there are some cortex A8 stuff
[20:51] <phh> (efika mx or or hercules eCafe)
[20:51] <FernandoMiguel> :\
[20:51] <phh> (i'd say ac100 is best value)
[20:51] <MMlosh> but nothing that would look like a normal laptop I guess
[20:52] <phh> MMlosh: it's hard for an arm laptop to be has heavy as an x86 laptop indeed
[20:52] <MMlosh> I said "look like"
[20:52] <MMlosh> weight is not part of looks..  but I agree :P
[20:52] <phh> can you be a bit more specific ?
[20:52] <phh> only things that are not ""laptop-like"" is that there is no HDD, and really little ram
[20:52] <MMlosh> arm laptop that is not freakishly small
[20:53] <phh> ah, like 14" ?
[20:53] <MMlosh> maybe.. I am not sure how big that would be
[20:53] <phh> k
[20:53] <phh> well for me 10" is the right size ... :p but i get your point
[20:54] <FernandoMiguel> I'm looking for bigger
[20:54] <MMlosh> I got a 15" right now.. 14" would be probably okay
[20:54] <FernandoMiguel> I already had 13 and 12"
[20:55] <FernandoMiguel> but if light weight, I'm sure I would be fine on 14 or 15"
[20:56] <FernandoMiguel> not using extra FANs or rotatory HDD, cdrom drive, or powerful GPU, you can strip some extra chassis
[20:56] <phh> well, for the thickness, just see ac100's
[20:58] <phh> (and it already has a lot of free space available :p)
