lilstevieQuintasan: what time is it there?00:36
lilstevieQuintasan: FWIW 2 scripts left to complete, flash configs which are quick to generate, and then the image :p00:36
Quintasanlilstevie: it's 22:0002:00
QuintasanSO, tomorrow's the day? \o/02:00
lilstevieQuintasan: tomorrow is the day :)02:02
lilstevieQuintasan: it should be all up within 12hours02:02
lilstevienew flashkit will be first02:03
Quintasanall sorts of awesome02:03
QuintasanI'm dying to use vim :O02:03
lilsteviefollowed by the new rootfs, the rootfs takes a bit longer because unless I can manage to get my VPS to cooperate I can't patch the image on it, and will have to spend hours uploading the image02:03
lilsteviehaha02:03
lilstevie:p02:03
lilstevieI'm dying to let the people at UDS drool :p02:04
lilsteviethis release is upgrading the tag as well :p02:06
QuintasanChickenCutlass is not going to be surprised :o02:06
lilsteviehaha I know he wont :p02:06
lilsteviewhat ever happened to him though I must ask, kinda lost touch with him02:07
Quintasan"I know that guy whose nick is ChickenCutlass knows something about hw accel on Transformer"02:07
QuintasanHow the hell I am supposed to find him here02:07
lilstevieheh02:08
QuintasanAnd 5 minutes later I was talking to him and did not even notice02:08
Quintasan@_@02:08
lilstevielol02:08
Quintasanlilstevie: He is here at UDS02:08
Quintasan:P02:08
lilstevielI was initially working with him, but I stopped catching him02:08
lilsteviehe kinda dropped away from the chan02:08
QuintasanHe told me about the toshiba ac100 drivers02:09
lilstevieyeah, and the kernel tweaking needed :p02:09
lilstevieI still don't know what approach he used02:09
QuintasanTurns out that we both had the same source of information :O02:09
QuintasanWant me to ask him02:09
Quintasan?02:09
lilstevieyeah, actually that would be good02:09
QuintasanI might as well as grab him tomorrow and make him join chan02:10
lilstevieheh, well he was in another chan for a while02:10

lilstevielunch even02:13
Quintasantoo much "me" there lol02:13
lilstevieI just want to know the approach he used to get the accel drivers working, our route was porting 2.6.3802:13
lilsteviewondering if we have just massively duped work02:14
QuintasanI see, I'll look around if he is still up02:14
Quintasanlilstevie: Hah, not able to find him. Maybe he went to sleep. I'll look for him tomorrow02:38

lilsteviewell its ok, get some sleep, you might awake to a nice gift :p02:40
Quintasan:D02:40
grahamsHi, great to see this channel.04:26
grahamsI have a arm based dreamplug and I'd be interested in installing and testing the 11.10 ubuntu server. Is there a guide on how I could start on this journey?04:27
ojngrahams, current ubuntu releases require a v7-compliant processor, and the marvell kirkwood is only implementing ARMv5.05:15
grahamsThanks Ojn, do you know if v5 devices will be supported in the future? Most of the plugs (Sheeva etc.) are v505:23
ojngrahams, I don't think so. jaunty and karmic was supported on v5, but I think the plan is to only support v7+ on future releases. I don't follow ubuntu's plans all that closely though.05:25
twbIt's the ARM equivalent of not supporting 286s anymore05:26
twbIt allows the resulting code to be faster on the newer generation hardware05:26
ojnfaster and smaller, since thumb2 is available.05:28
grahamsI don't believe v5 = 286, there are lots of new devices using v5. There are also Debian Wheezy images out there with 3.0.4 kernels. I find it odd that Ubuntu is ignoring the 1000's of Plugs that are still shipping. I'll stick with debian for now. Thanks for the answers.05:30
twbgrahams: Debian has two ARM flavours -- armel and armhf.  Basically Ubuntu only has the latter because (presumably) they can't be bothered supporting older designs -- even if those older designs are appearing in new devices.05:31
twb(And the reason Debian is more armel than armhf is because it moves slowly ;-)05:31
lilstevietwb: actually ubuntu is armel :p well armv7el05:32
twbYes yes05:32
lilsteviehf is something entirely different :p05:32
twbSo then let us say debian has "boring" and "fancy pants" flavours, and Ubuntu has a common one somewhere in between05:33
grahamsMakes sense for Ubuntu to focus a new project on the newer CPU designs.05:35
grahamsGood luck with the project, alas I do not have a v7 device05:36
lilsteviemost newer devices are v7 anyway05:38
twbmm05:44
twbI was surprised his wasn't, tbh05:44
lilstevieheh, I wasn't05:45
lilsteviethose plug devices are all the same CPU05:45
twbThey blow05:45
twbAt least the sheeva does (I have one); and I heard the newer ones overheat if you run both ethernet interfaces are full speed05:46
lilstevielol05:46
twbthe sheeva gets quite hot when it's just sitting there05:46
lilstevieso does the trimplice tbh05:47
lilstevietrimslice*05:47
gildeanojn: there is also a maverick version for arm v5 iirc06:01
gildeanspeaking about trimslice, i started making this page for future projects: http://julkinen.salaliitto.com/trimslice/06:03
gildeanall the buttons should now function, except the search-bar06:03
gildeaneven the terminal actually does things06:04
gildeani stole it from omg!ubuntu06:04
lilstevieheh06:10
sveinseI see from the rootstock script that the group 'fuse' is added, but without any comments. How come it's added explicitly in the installer?09:12
sveinse^^ rsalveti or ogra_  perhaps09:14
twblilstevie: looking at build_kernel.sh, I see -j$(grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l) -- suggest instad -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN || echo 1).12:00
lilstevienot my script :p12:02
twbk12:03
twbmost of it seems to be files new nvidia/google-copyright files -- are these snarfed from the asus kernel tarball?12:04
lilstevie?12:05
twb828153e1ca207b83da2fed628271965d933fd1a9 -- Split the tf101 device from picasso to make it easier to work with.12:07
lilstevieno12:07
twbSo I guess they're copied from other files in the same git repo12:07
lilstevieall I did was grab board-picasso*12:07
lilstevieand split them off12:08
twbRighto12:08
twbUgh, just powered the tf101 up again since a couple weeks ago, and it's go no juice again12:12
twbEither the damn thing uses non-trivial amounts of battery when halted (as in "shutdown -h now") or it turns itself on all the time when I'm not watching12:13

sveinseAny one here known with qemu core dumping when running 'apt-get install openssh-server' in an armel chroot (using binfmt emulation)? It happens on i386 natty, but not on amd64 natty. I am currently testing for oneiric.22:03
