[00:36] <lilstevie> Quintasan: what time is it there?
[00:36] <lilstevie> Quintasan: FWIW 2 scripts left to complete, flash configs which are quick to generate, and then the image :p
[02:00] <Quintasan> lilstevie: it's 22:00
[02:00] <Quintasan> SO, tomorrow's the day? \o/
[02:02] <lilstevie> Quintasan: tomorrow is the day :)
[02:02] <lilstevie> Quintasan: it should be all up within 12hours
[02:03] <lilstevie> new flashkit will be first
[02:03] <Quintasan> all sorts of awesome
[02:03] <Quintasan> I'm dying to use vim :O
[02:03] <lilstevie> followed 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 image
[02:03] <lilstevie> haha
[02:03] <lilstevie> :p
[02:04] <lilstevie> I'm dying to let the people at UDS drool :p
[02:06] <lilstevie> this release is upgrading the tag as well :p
[02:06] <Quintasan> ChickenCutlass is not going to be surprised :o
[02:06] <lilstevie> haha I know he wont :p
[02:07] <lilstevie> what ever happened to him though I must ask, kinda lost touch with him
[02:07] <Quintasan> "I know that guy whose nick is ChickenCutlass knows something about hw accel on Transformer"
[02:07] <Quintasan> How the hell I am supposed to find him here
[02:08] <lilstevie> heh
[02:08] <Quintasan> And 5 minutes later I was talking to him and did not even notice
[02:08] <Quintasan> @_@
[02:08] <lilstevie> lol
[02:08] <Quintasan> lilstevie: He is here at UDS
[02:08] <Quintasan> :P
[02:08] <lilstevie> lI was initially working with him, but I stopped catching him
[02:08] <lilstevie> he kinda dropped away from the chan
[02:09] <Quintasan> He told me about the toshiba ac100 drivers
[02:09] <lilstevie> yeah, and the kernel tweaking needed :p
[02:09] <lilstevie> I still don't know what approach he used
[02:09] <Quintasan> Turns out that we both had the same source of information :O
[02:09] <Quintasan> Want me to ask him
[02:09] <Quintasan> ?
[02:09] <lilstevie> yeah, actually that would be good
[02:10] <Quintasan> I might as well as grab him tomorrow and make him join chan
[02:10] <lilstevie> heh, well he was in another chan for a while
[02:10] <Quintasan> What time is it that where you are?
[02:10] <lilstevie> but tz's are a pain and we kept missing eachother
[02:10] <lilstevie> it is 13:10
[02:11] <Quintasan> friday?
[02:11] <lilstevie> yeah
[02:12] <Quintasan> oh fuck
[02:12] <Quintasan> its like 15 hours of differnce
[02:12] <lilstevie> yeah
[02:12] <lilstevie> brb, getting luncgh
[02:13] <Quintasan> lilstevie: make me a me list of what you want me to ask him and we will somehow get it done
[02:13] <lilstevie> lunch even
[02:13] <Quintasan> too much "me" there lol
[02:13] <lilstevie> I just want to know the approach he used to get the accel drivers working, our route was porting 2.6.38
[02:14] <lilstevie> wondering if we have just massively duped work
[02:14] <Quintasan> I see, I'll look around if he is still up
[02:38] <Quintasan> lilstevie: Hah, not able to find him. Maybe he went to sleep. I'll look for him tomorrow
[02:39] <lilstevie> heh kk
[02:39]  * Quintasan is too sleepy
[02:40] <lilstevie> well its ok, get some sleep, you might awake to a nice gift :p
[02:40] <Quintasan> :D
[04:26] <grahams> Hi, great to see this channel.
[04:27] <grahams> I 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?
[05:15] <ojn> grahams, current ubuntu releases require a v7-compliant processor, and the marvell kirkwood is only implementing ARMv5.
[05:23] <grahams> Thanks Ojn, do you know if v5 devices will be supported in the future? Most of the plugs (Sheeva etc.) are v5
[05:25] <ojn> grahams, 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.
[05:26] <twb> It's the ARM equivalent of not supporting 286s anymore
[05:26] <twb> It allows the resulting code to be faster on the newer generation hardware
[05:28] <ojn> faster and smaller, since thumb2 is available.
[05:30] <grahams> I 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.
[05:31] <twb> grahams: 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 ;-)
[05:32] <lilstevie> twb: actually ubuntu is armel :p well armv7el
[05:32] <twb> Yes yes
[05:32] <lilstevie> hf is something entirely different :p
[05:33] <twb> So then let us say debian has "boring" and "fancy pants" flavours, and Ubuntu has a common one somewhere in between
[05:35] <grahams> Makes sense for Ubuntu to focus a new project on the newer CPU designs.
[05:36] <grahams> Good luck with the project, alas I do not have a v7 device
[05:38] <lilstevie> most newer devices are v7 anyway
[05:44] <twb> mm
[05:44] <twb> I was surprised his wasn't, tbh
[05:45] <lilstevie> heh, I wasn't
[05:45] <lilstevie> those plug devices are all the same CPU
[05:45] <twb> They blow
[05:46] <twb> At least the sheeva does (I have one); and I heard the newer ones overheat if you run both ethernet interfaces are full speed
[05:46] <lilstevie> lol
[05:46] <twb> the sheeva gets quite hot when it's just sitting there
[05:47] <lilstevie> so does the trimplice tbh
[05:47] <lilstevie> trimslice*
[06:01] <gildean> ojn: there is also a maverick version for arm v5 iirc
[06:03] <gildean> speaking about trimslice, i started making this page for future projects: http://julkinen.salaliitto.com/trimslice/
[06:03] <gildean> all the buttons should now function, except the search-bar
[06:04] <gildean> even the terminal actually does things
[06:04] <gildean> i stole it from omg!ubuntu
[06:10] <lilstevie> heh
[09:12] <sveinse> I see from the rootstock script that the group 'fuse' is added, but without any comments. How come it's added explicitly in the installer?
[09:14] <sveinse> ^^ rsalveti or ogra_  perhaps
[12:00] <twb> lilstevie: looking at build_kernel.sh, I see -j$(grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l) -- suggest instad -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN || echo 1).
[12:02] <lilstevie> not my script :p
[12:03] <twb> k
[12:04] <twb> most of it seems to be files new nvidia/google-copyright files -- are these snarfed from the asus kernel tarball?
[12:05] <lilstevie> ?
[12:07] <twb> 828153e1ca207b83da2fed628271965d933fd1a9 -- Split the tf101 device from picasso to make it easier to work with.
[12:07] <lilstevie> no
[12:07] <twb> So I guess they're copied from other files in the same git repo
[12:07] <lilstevie> all I did was grab board-picasso*
[12:08] <lilstevie> and split them off
[12:08] <twb> Righto
[12:12] <twb> Ugh, just powered the tf101 up again since a couple weeks ago, and it's go no juice again
[12:13] <twb> Either 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 watching
[21:14] <Quintasan|TF> ogra_: haha, no luck, I installed the driver and rebooted and no X
[21:14] <Quintasan|TF> :)
[21:26] <Quintasan|TF> brr
[21:26]  * Quintasan|TF has a streak of bad luck
[22:03] <sveinse> Any 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.
